THAT WONDERFUL DIR. vOULLAIRE.


THAT WONDERFUL DIR. vOULLAIRE.
"Ah. DR.. Halsey! How are you,
sirP"
"Hullo. Pussy! Down again? That's
too bad"
"Yes," walled she thus sportively
addressed. "Pm down again, and |
seem likely to be down to the end OF
the chapter. It's nothing but aches and
pains and torment and torture the whole
time. I'm i'm perfect misery now"
DIR. Halsey's kindly old mouth ex-
banded with a smile of quiet amusement
lying on the sofa. and noted in his semi
comprehend:ng mans fashion, that APP
preciated in toto, though it could not
have described as 10 detail, all the dain-
ty prettiness from the unrumpled waves
Of nut-brown hair to the cleaning tip
Of a tiny, bead-embroidereds slipper, that
protruded from trailing folds of pale
blue cashmere. MISERY" to make
itself SO fine and keep itself so scrupu-
lously!
But DR.. Halsey was used to feminine
hyperbole in general, Luly Roslyn's in
particular; SO he merely bestowed a
fatherly pat upon the Mother Hubbard
shirrs and puffs covering the small
plump shoulder. and said gently: "Be
of good heart, child, these east winds
and sunless skies are against you, but
they won't last always. You're COM
ing out all right directly, only have
patience little longer"
Luly waited with compressed lips to
hear the closing CT the outer door; then
turned toward her husband, who had
dropped into the chair left vacant by
: the departing physician.
DIR. Halsey is an old fogy, jack"
she burst forth, hotly.
"Why, my dear" Jack began, in a
mild remonstrance.
"But he is" iterated the seraph in
pale blue cashmere, s'and you know it
as well do. He's a hundred wears be-
hind the age he lives in. messing around
with his nasty old pills and potions.
See here. will your"
Saying which Luly drew from be-
meath her pillow a poster big and fam
ing.

read Jack, with many pompous -four

oeedn't make fun, either" she contin-
ued, aggrieyedly. "JuSt look at those

ITO whom it may concern;" perused Jack.
"This is to certify that having suffered for
years from most obstinate rheumatic affec-
don, for which was treated by many emil
nent physicians both in this country and in
Europe, and getting no better, but rather
distressing beyond description. l learned of
the wonderful cures of DIR. Voullaire, and
applied to him for relief. Conveyed to his
offce helpless cripple, I left it, through what
seemed nothing less than miracle. independ-
+ a1t of aid. This remarkable restoration has
proved permanent, ana when l contrast my
present privileges and cnjoyments with my
former miserable estate, | can find no lam
guage adequate TO express my great gratitude

MS race Mrs. T. H. WHEREBY"
''Isn't there something in it?" tri-
umphanly Intercepted Luly.
II should rather guess so-a pretty
good-sized BILL"
.tOh, it's the bill, is it? / never sup
posed you'd be mean and stingy about
money, Jack"
MY dear" and Jacks tone was
freighted with gentle reproach; task
what you will and it shall be done, even
to the half of my kingdom. But, really,
the bill is the biggest thing in It, so far
as Voullaire is concerned
"And you declare these all lies?"
Luly questioned, sternly, indicating the
long column of commentators. 81
happen to know some of these names"
'.By no means" Jack replied. 81
admit them all truths, if SO you like.
The point l insist upon is that the gift
lay quite as much with the patient as
with the physician. Can't you under
stand what the confident expectation of
a result may accomplish? Why, Luly,
could do that sort of thing myself, if
only people would believe in me
enough! Don't you see?"
LuIy had unexpectedly changed her
tactics.
81 don't see anything. except that [
sm dying by inches and denied my one
chance for help" she said, with a quaver
in her voice; and then she turned her
face to the wall.
Jacks laugh ended with an odd alb
ruptness, and shadow fell across his
jovial visage.
Now Jack Roslyn was termed by his
friends "a lucky fellow" and certain it
was that he had fed upon the roses and
lain among the lilies OF life rather more
than the lot of man is wont to allow.
To be lord of the radiant being before
him was esteemed the acme of felicity.
and had made him the envied of many
q hapless masculine. Yet here he sat
regarding the pretty brown head that
dented the sofas crimson cushion with
frown upon his brow and bitterness in
his soul.
But Jacks heart was right, after all;
for, as he unused within himself. the
scowl in his forehead got smoothed
away, and wave of tenderness encom-
passed him. 1t was his own dear little
Luly, whose folly was infinitely more
charming than the wisdom of any other
woman; whose crossness, even-she was
not often cross-was something adora-
bic.
So his revery went on and on, with
varying form and shape. 1t was well,
perhaps, for Luly's peace of mind that
her face was ayerted, and she saw not
the curious little points of light that
