did not entertain the suspicion that the regu-
larity of the house was only effected by con-
slant urgency and supervision.
That there was a change in the relations OF
Philip and his wife did not strike the outer
world, which had not been invited by him pre-
viously to consider the nature and closeness of
those relations In the presence Of others
Philip was courteous and formal toward his
wife now, but he had been courteous and
formal toward her in public before. He had
not called upon the neighbors and acquaint-
ances to rejoice with him because he had found
domestic happiness, he did not invite them now
to lament with him because he had discovered
it to be chimerical..
He refused to Salome none of those atten-
tions which are required by common politeness;
what she missed were those which spring out
of real affection, HIS behavior to her in pub
lie was unchanged, and he carried this manner
into his private interviews with her. Such in
terviews were now brief and business-like.
He no longer spoke TO her about what was
past he never referred to her father. He
never allowed her to entertain the smallest
hope that his behavior would change
Philip rarely spoke to a servant never ex-
cept on business; and he was surprised one day
when the nurse ventured to intrude on his
privacy and ask leave to say something TO him.
Philip gave the required permission un-
graciousY
Then the woman said. "Please, sir, the missus
be that onconsiderate about hersen that she'd
never think o. telling nobody about nowt that
was wrong with her. And so, 1 dare say, you
don't know, sir. that it is not all well wi her.
Shoe has sudden faintive's and they come on
ow'er often. Shoe makes light OF, but don't
better of it. 1 sed to her, shoe ought to tell
you, but shoe wouldn't. And, please, sir,
shoo's good mlssus, and too precious to be let
slip through the fingers for not looking after
what's amiss itime. So-sir-pve made bould
to say a word about it."
Philip was surprised, even shocked.
81 will see to it," he said and then, THAT
will do" He took occasion to speak with
Salome about her health, and now his eyes were
opened to see how delicate she had become.
She admitted her fainting fits, but made light
of them.
81 have been overtaxed, that is all, Philip.
l shall soon be quite myself again.
You have had a good deal of anxiety, no
doubt, and that may account for it. Still-it
will be satisfaction to have an opinion. Do
you care for Mr.. Knight7"
''0h, no, Philip-he is very clever, hut too
young. should not like to have Mr.. knight
here about me- But assure you it is nothing!
Il mean there is nothing really the matter with
me. 1t used to be said that L had all the
physique of us two sisters and Janet all the
verve."
Il wish you to have proper advice. You un-
derstand. 1 wish it,"
''Then, Philip, 1 will let anyone you like come
and see me, or will 60 to anyone you recon-
mend"
81 have no knowledge of doctors" he said al
most contemporary,
"If might have choice" she hesltated.
''Of course you may-in reason"
tpThera is Mr. John Dale. he W. dear TTpnIa
Jeremiah's best friend. and he is Janet's
guardian. always liked him, and he knows
about us sisters. Besides DO want to see him
and ask him what he thinks about Janet; but
he is long way OF, he is at Bridlington. If
you think it would be extravagant sending SO
far, would go gladly and see him. Indeed 1
daresay the journey will do me good"
"Very WELL" said Philip, II will telegraph
for Mr.. Dale"
And then" added Salome if you do not OBJ
