The doctor ran his hands deeper int,
his pockets and looked ravenously a
the figure in the carpet in contempla
ton of that joyful state of affairs. H,
seized o pen and started at least five
different notes, taking four times five
minutes before he reached anything liz
the expression he wished to use.
The note completed at last, SO that il
partly suited him, was quickly borne
to the residence Of Mr.. Cortland Tyler,
where a maid carried it up to the room
of Miss Tyler, who was the only repre-.
sentative of the family at home. , This
young woman was lying on her couch
MISUNDERSTANDING of DR.. Struthers.
She had greatly enjoyed her morning
calls, and her heart itself sincerely
trusted that it would not mend toe
rapidly.
70 come to the point at once, she
was in love with him. The servant
handed Miss Clara the note just at the
moment she was wondering if it vera
possible he could care anything for her!
She opened the note, read it and gaYA
q little scream.
To this day it is a question whethei
or not Miss Tyler actually tainted. II
is certain that she came very near it'll

thing else. AS it was Mr.. Tyler was
very much frightened when he saw his
daughter gasping for breath. By the
time he had recovered from his as
constituent sufficiently to begin to con.
slider whether to send for DIR. Struthers
or DR.. Skuyler her woman's diplomacy
and intuition had returned sufficiently
for her to say:
"Don't be frightened, father. It's
not SO bad as it formerly was. II
didn't want you to know it."
That settled it. Mr.. Tyler at once
jumped into his carriage and drove "a
fast as he could to DR.. Struthers's
Office, where the Young physician had
been indulging in the pastime of calling
himself an ass ever since one moment
after he had placed the note in the
messenger boys hands. On learning
what Mr.. Tyler had to say, he seized
his medicine case and hat, jumped into
his overcoat, and was in the carriage at
the m~illionaire's side in q moment. He
asked o few questions of Mr.. Tyler,
which were answered to the extent OF
Mr.. Tyler's knowledge, and to which
he said eyes" quietly, as if he had
expected it, and perfectly understood
the situation. The old gentleman liked
that eyes" so well that he asked
whether his daughter was dangerously
i'll or not in O tone that plainly showed
he considered the answer was TO mean
life or death for her. The doctor told
him that there was no danger, and
without doubt she would be entirely ,
recovered within three months.
81 thank you, sir" said the father
N a trembling voice.
When they arrived at the house Mr..
Tyler sat down before the CRATE and
;ried to road the evening paper and
made a failure of it, while DR..
5truthers was shown up stairs to see
The patient by the servant, who had re-
sumed the normal state of her indif-
ference and the turn up of her nose.
The physician prescribed, and then,
somehow or other. he came to take

"And I of you."
Hope sprang again into the young
loctor's breast.

tumbled a little, but she helped him

There was silence for a moment.
"Doctor, don't you think my heart

,ountenance darkened.
