darful SUNRISE and awe; ana ne actual-
10 disabled as he was, made an effort
10 npt his hair straight (he had nice
bair) and curl his moustache.
naturally turned round TO see what
had caused All this, and beheid at the
door the graceful girl we had looked
a. tbrouqb the windows Of the billiard
room. Con
heard Jack murmur ,By George
beneath his breath as she advanced
composedly towards him. Then she
'', "Yop sent for me, did you not?"

gasped out. poro.
TON. - She blushed slightly through all
her confidence and self-Dossession.
Now let me look at you. Let me
remove those handkerchiefs ana see
your face" She proceeded 10 40 tniS
gently and dexterously, and went on
"Oh, yes, I see, the jaw IS dlslocated,
bpt tnat is easily remedied. You VIII
have 10 bear a little pain now, but IL
will save YOU a good deal afterwards. II
Dut nv hand TO your moth so"-lt was
a very small hand and seemed to WORK
very essily-"and pull the jaw FORWARD
so"-Jack uttered cry OF pain as she
did this-"there, that's soon oVer' no"
let me see the lips"
She looked at these for moment
veIy searchingly, and proceeded 10
omen a small bag she had brought with
her, talking the while In an undisturo-
ed manner. q,
',Yev'll have to have them sewn up. :"
Jack shuddered.
"Oh. it's nothing very serious, ana
won't last five minutes Now just lie
down perfectly Fat, shut your eyes, ana
resign yourself 20 my tender mercies Tor
that space Of time" .,
Jack did go, and though he kicked
his feet about and clinched his hands
as the needle pierced the tender lip, he
uttered no cry or groan; and when the
doctor had finished and the lips had
been washed and bandaged up again
she said:
There, you bore that like Briton.
Now you'll have to be quiet for two or
three days, and you'll doubtless be able
10 get home 10 week. III call in to-
morrow and see you again. Goodoy.,"
And with that she shook hands with
both Of US, and went out OF the door
which l held open for her.
/ went back and sat down by the
Preside. Inaminute or so Jack opened
his eyes, looked at me asd smiled. l
smiled In return. Then he winked. l
did not wink back: / said:
what do you mean, you scoundrel?'
"Nothin," said the ruflian, as he turn
ed over to 60 to sleep, except that |
think the diagnosis Is wrong; that l
don't think that / shall be able TO get
home in q week; and that my GONZALES
ceuce will require continued walking
exercise in the company OF my medical
attendant"
To my mind there is no charm about
a woman 80 delightful ard so fascina-
ting as the charm of manner and of
speech. II is the way Of doing and say
lug things naturally, and, therefore, in
q woman, gracefully.
II was this charm that made our ad-
miratiou for the doctor grow stronger
every day. Jack was soon able 10 get
about, and In few days felt justified
I'm getting back TO work. Jack was to
follow me in a week or two, and was TO
write 20 me two or three times q week.
The purport Of his first letter was to
the effect that he had discovered that he
was the doctors first and only patient,
and that she had told him all about her
medical work in their walks over the
moors together; that she was very jolly
company, aud wished TO be remembered
TO me; and a good deal to the same ef-
feet, and Sil about that Wretched doc
tor.
The second letter told me that her
father and his had been brother officers,
and that she had sworn eternal friend
ship on that ground. This, doubtless,
accounted for his abiding to her as
"MSriOn.')
The third said that she was going up
70 town on q visit TO her aunt, and that
be found himself sufficiently recovered
10 accompany her.
When Jack turned up at our rooms
two days after the receipt OF the third
letter, be was in a very excited state.
He mad seen the doctor TO her aunt's
place ia KenSingtOn, and we Che and y
were to 90 there the next night to a
dance. He had accepted" for me, and
knew I'd 20, il it were only to see the
doctor again.
The lad looked so well. and was in
such wonderful spirits that didn't like
TO refuse him, aud so the next night we
set of early.
The doctors aunt has nothing to do
with this story; one OF her cousins,
Hilda, was uncOmmonly nice, and l
think I'll go there TO lunch on Sunday,
as desired, and at any rate I shall call
on their next lat home day; but it is
with Jack and the doctor that these
last few lines have to do.
He danced with her all the evening,
and she didn't mind it In the least; in
fact, seemed rather to like it; and it was
following the third dance after supper
that they determined TO sit out into q
little alcOve, which have no doubt the
architect had designed purposely land
very properly for that sort Of thing.
Jack sat silently minute or two, and
then took eer hand and said:
II love you"
That was all and nothing more; and
yet / believe women who truly love
like those few words better than all
vows and professions; surely woman
must rather deSpiSe a man who flops
down on his knees and swears he'd die
for her,
The doctor recoiled slightly but did
not take her hand away; she looked at
him and said;
Jack"
There" be said impetuously, 81
know I'm wrong to tell you, because
I'm so terribly poor; but can't help it,
I love you, my darling. I'll go away,
though, and not see you again, but Just
