! health, and the whole of this past will seem like strange dream, from which you have fully awakened"
 70, if it might be so r said Miss Toxel led the conversation away. My patient seemed calm and even hopeful she played little, and sang charming song which George had written for her. l Jeff her at II:3o l have nO fear that she will again a,' empt her life, She is to place herself under my treatment, and shall be the means of bringing these two noble lives that happiness which 1t was once my blissful fortune to experience. When l reached the office, George had left. He returned about ?, having bathed, dressed and eaten substantial breakfast His spirits rose to exhilaration when told him that Agnes had been ill, had had faint, and had been slightly nor bid in her fancies, but was now quite herself again, and wishing to meet him. He could hardly wait long enough for me to caution him against calling for an explanation of the notes of which Agnes had written. Remember said I to him, a delicate, imaginative woman like Miss Toxel is hardly responsible for her fancies or her acts at certain times. The least Arrangement of organism is fol- lowed by delusions which are perfectly real to the victim, and perfectly iucom- ptehensible to all others. Whatever Agnes chooses to say you can accept; it is enough for you to know that she has always been wholly devoted to you" March $ Since the last date. have seen Miss Coxel twice a week regularly. Her health is constantly improving without treatment. When see her alone, she is grave, earnest and ra,keE inclined to heavy view of lie. In coma pany with Aylie, however, she is always bright, sparkling, animated, and some times almost gay. She has a piquant drollery even. at times, and laughs often. They are almost constantly together, Aylie has insured his life for $50 900 He still retains his impression of impez ding death but has become accustomed to it, and it gives him no uneasiness. He is in regular course of training, and bears 1t tolerably well. l have experimented with different treatments designed to affect his brain; his system responds to all of them with evidences ot a normal condition. believe he has no cerebral trouble whatever. His physical condi- ton is not quite what wish, however He does not recover from fatigues so promptly as he should, and am giving him a trifle less werk. He is never really happy away from Agnes. She has partly consented that their marriage shall take place early in June, to be fol lowed by trip to Europe. They are very happy indeed, and regard me as a father. had more pleasure in their love than in anything else since death took half of myself away.
 March IS, II p. m.-To-day at the gymnasium George fell asleep while being rubbed after a mile run. I have ordered his work stopped for a week. Mss Toxel improves steadily She is still sad when alone with me, but she has fine delic ate color, and her eyes are magnificent; mplimen,ing her upon her eyes. she replied that the per- lection of their lids was owing to the fact that she never wept. Upon inquiry find that no one ever saw tears fall from her eyes; her aunt, Mrs. Baxter, corro- borates this; it is very curious; probably arises from some enlargement or pecu- liarity of the lachrymal duct. George seems well, and is in better spirits, rather, than at any time since knew him. There has been no reference on the part of Miss Toxel or myself to the past or to her Authorization.
 March 2o -George is certainly not so well as at last date. He has not resumed his work. He has gained considerably in flesh, of course, but his skin is not so brilliant as wish, and he is disinclined to exertion. He is with Agnes constantly. They read, sing, walk, drive, attend public entertainments, and are together several hours every day, and almost all days from about to II p. m. They are happier than any other pair of lovers ever saw. There does not seem to be a single flaw in their lives. They often in- vite me to spend the evening with them l sometimes accept. Miss Toxel con- tinues to see me professionally twice week. The visits are mere form Her health is superb, and she is called the hsndssmest woman in the city. The ex. traordinary intimacy between Agnes and George receives attention but does not cause unfavorable remark. This is in- deed free country for unm arried wo- men.
 April 7 -Aylie is certainly failing. It has not been mentioned between us yet, seriously. can discover no indications of disease of any sort. am watching every symptom, or the absence of all symptoms, solicitously.
 April o-Agnes asked me to- day if 1 was satisfied with Georges health. 1 told her he had been over worked in the gymnasium, and tha, it would be two or three months before he fully recovered. She looked at me silently, and evidently thought me not perfectly frank. was not. l feel grave apprehension.
