Her lsdyship became possessed Of this pecuniary

with a halo of romantic interest It was the last
communication she was destined to receive from her
accomplished nephew; and there was note attached
to it. which cannot fail to enhance its value the

The lines that follow are strictly confidential:

with difference. for to him she was sister
with small initial, because he had entered
INTO solemn undertaking and promise with
the sacrament of VOWS and kisses, to marry
her sister after the manner of the world
Norah Cronan. at that time private secre-
tary to Mr.. Murridge, of Finsbury circus.
All mankind were Calstas brothers, and
yet she called one or two of them by their
Christian names. One of them was Hugh,
her sisters fiancee the other was young
gentleman who, at that moment was
actually entering the great doors of the
hospital and making for the direction of the
resident medical's private ROOM
Hugh Aquila, M D., F. R. c. S.. and L.
R. G. p, was s:rong well-built young
man, with big limbs and large and capable
head-a head which had been endowed with
an ample cheek, reasonable forehead, a
firm mouth and oh n steady eyes set I'M
der clear-cut eyebrows, and a nose both
broad, straight and long. This is rather an
unusual nose. The nose which is broad and
short is the humorous nose but it generally
argues want of dignity; that which is mar
row and long may belong to most dignifi d
person, but he is too often unsympathetic;
that which is both short and narrow shows a
lack of everything desirable in man. Since
uuSu AuulldS uOS0 was DOUA DAO1u
long, he could laugh and cry over other
peoples accidents and misfortunes-that is
to say he had sympathy, which is almost as
valuable quality for a young doctor as for
q novelist Such young man. one is sure
at the very outset, will certainly make a
good fight, and win place somewhere well
to the front, if not in the very front and
foremost rank; it is not granted to every
man to become commander-in-chief; there
are great many men, very good men in
deed who miss that supremacy, vet leave
behind them good record for courage per-
severance and tenacity. Happy is the
woman who is loved by such man!
To add one more detail, Hugh had big,
strong hands, but his fingers were delicate
as well as strong This was, perhaps, be-
cause he was skilled in anatomy, and already
sure hand in operations.
"Oh, Hugh" said the sister-it had been
Mr.. Aquila until a day or two before this
'Oh, Hugh have had no opportunity te-
fore of telling you how glad and happy am
for Norah's sake"
''Thank you. Calista." he replied. simply,
taking her hand; Everybody Is very kind
to me. and it is SO much the better that we
spoke and settled matters before this Won
derful sue 'ession."
YES think it is. Though the succession
ought not to make any difference. Tell me
Hugh, is it long since you began to think of
| it?'
81 have been here for nearly twelve
months; had been here a week when first l
| saw Norah in this ward. I began to think
of it, as you say-that is, to think of her
then and there-my beautiful Norah. She is
like you. Calista, and yet unlike. She is as
good as you are, bu, in another way She
belongs to the world. and you"

81 should have pua it differently. Strange
and wonderful it is. Calista, that such girl
as Norah should be abls to love such a man
as"
mo Hugh: that must not be even though
Norah is a h,ppv girl to win your love-
suppose it is good that YOU should think your
mistress an angel, because it makes her bet
ter. Remember what she thinks of you, her
strong and brave and clever lover, and do
not be too humble Did you see her yester-
davy,
Eyes: in the evening found time for Cam
den Town, and had supper with her lady
ship"
Strange to saw they both smiled and then
their faces broadened, and they laughed.
Did YOU ever see a 81 ter in hospital Taught
She smiles often. She smiles when the patients
thank her and kiss her hand; when they get
liphtheaded and talk nonsense; when they
prumble and groan: when they go good, and
promise to remain patient and steadfast,
clio. he'd in the armor of Righteousness; or
when they go away cured and strong again,
and ELUSIVE in thanks; or when they come
hack again for the tenth time. for there are
some known in hospital wards who spend as
much of their lives as they possibly can in
these comfortable places But no one ever
saw sister laugh except Hugh; and the eff
fec on the ward was incongruous, a, if a
cardinal should dance hornpipe or a bishop
perform a breakdown. Some of the babies
felt it like a note out of harmony, and began
the preliminary cough which, as every pere
bawl and the promenade about the bedroom.
Calista, perhaps, received the cough as a
warning; the laugh did not occur again, and
besides, to so sweet a sister every thing must
be allowed. Therefore the cough preliminary
was not repeated and none of the baoies
really began to cry.
His lordship was present." Hugh re-
peated. I'VE had a pipe together. He sat
in his robes and his coronet of course, which
become him extremely-aspecially when he
has the pipe in hi, mouth. Yet doubt if
be is happier His face expires ,ed some
anxietv. as if he was uncertain about his
feet in those dizzy HEIGHTS and would like

The residence of Hvacinth Cronan, M D.,

attached to the same house, where patients
not only received advice, but saw their
medicines mixed before their eyes, and
