The advocate., 1895-08-14

my way through the packed mass of fools, she was
nowhere to be seen, and have been walking the
streets ever since hoping to catch glimpse of her
again. mast find her! We must seek her. She
is in awful poverty. Her very face showed its
traces. What can we do? Advertiser"
''NoW, sgd, there you go sgainl DO you s'pose
Miss StilWell would notice your advertisements
Not if she's poor she wouldn't. You're no akin to
her, and she'd hesitate like to be answerin even if
she saw the paper If Miss StilWell's in New York
and I'm afraid you've only been imsginin you've
seen heryoull have to find her some ways else. Wait
till tomorrow, an she may be where the crowd is
an may be- if its her, you'll catch sight Of her again.
Then we'll allbe together, and she can't get away
from three pairs of eyes, especially Of two pairs OF
old ones that won't play tricks on em so easy as she
can from one set You can't do anything else.
You've just got to watt sgd, and trust to Provi-
dence."
''My dear Sydney, think Mr.. COttle is right"
said the Doctor. eff it should be true that Ger
trude is here and reduced circumstances inquiries
after her might cause her great embarrassment and
pain At all events, let us wait till tomorrow be-
fore we undertake extraordinary means of finding
her. If the face you saw was really Gertrude's-"
''Lf? I b,aoa0 it was Gertrudes. could not posi-
is miserable You cannot appreciate my anxiety"
The Doctor laid his hand gently on Sydney's srm
looked intently into his eyes, and said feelingly;
''My dear Sydney, do appreciate your feelings
more fully than you are aware, perhaps. not only
appreciate your anxiety share it. Be calm. You
cannot be more eager than l. Is not Gertrude

Sleepl''
Sydney's eyes closed and he slumbered. Obeying
the Doctors gesture, Job assisted in carrying his
unconscious friend to the COUCH where he continued
to sleep. The Doctor became an object of almost
superstitious fear in the cabinetmskers eyes. What
manner of man was this who could put folks to sleep
in that unsccountable WsyP Taking one of Sgd
ney'S hands, the Doctor said:
''You will awake at O'clock refreshed; and you
will have no recollection of having seen Gertrude
until o o'clock tomorrow morning." Then he turned
to Cottle: "Let us walk out again; Sydney will
sleep till 6 O'clock"
Job wished himself in his home at Worcester.
This sort of thing was too much-this putting folks
to sleep by looking at them, telling them when to
wake up, and ordering them not to remember things
till certain hour next morningl "Talk of your
black art said he to himself "this beats the black
est kind Of black art" And he was worried, and
made no movement toward going out. The Doctor
observed his visitors smazement, and remarked
quietly:

magical about it, although it is mysterious. 1t is

"Thats so, although had clean forgot all about
it. But this-it sort of looks uncsnny.like. I'm
afraid he won't come to-"
"NeVer fear, Mr. Cottle. 1t will do him good.
You saw how oVer-excited he was His sleep is per-
sctly natural, and it enables me to make him forget
until remembering may be useful. And now, must
tell you something. He 1OaS not nnistakenP
This was said in a low tone. The Doctor added,
almost in a whisper:
