AXI.


Altogether, my memory presents the
events of the next few days in a good
deal of confusion. 1 went about as
usual, I dare say, visited Lamar. chatted
with Mrs. Weston, regularly appeased
an excellent appetite, and demanded q
slightly unreasonable share of Dor
othy's time; but when endeavor to
recall each incident by itself a veil
falls, as it were, to end the inquiry.
I was too jubilant to heed trifes, and
therefore there is now but a shadowy
remembrance of delightful days which
went only too quickly. Nevertheless,
in the course of them we contrived to
agree upon a general plan of action
or rather inaction. for it seemed wise
to let matters continue as. they were
until we could see our way more clear
ly. To an early marriage Dorothy de-
INJURED, not only because of the short
time which had passed since the death
of Mrs. Loring, but also because, as
she argued, a wife might seriously
hamper me were Lamar to resume his
wanderings and to demand my COM
pany in them. She took the view that.
considering his condition, it was out
of the question to think of ending my
connection with him. In a year we
should probably be free to go where
we pleased, and then it was agreed
that there should be wedding, and,
after all, n renewal OF the effort to es-
tablish 4 practice in some city. Ny
savings promised to suffice to support
two of US for a considerable time, es-
pecially as we were willing TO observe
the most rigid economy. Meanwhile.
Dorothy was to remain a member Of
Mrs. Clarlz's household.
I have set forth this summary of the
blans we made, not because it was fated
that they should be carried out, but
because there is degree of satisfaction
in recalling the making of them. Al
most as soon as we had decided to accept
the situation, the events of q few hours
wrought a complete change in them.
Lamar's case had presented several
unfa1orable symptoms, and it had be-
come advisable to alter the treatment.
[ had driven to BASKERVILLE to have q
fresh prescription filed. and, returning,
had reached Mrs. Weston's late in the
afternoon. Ordinarily I should have
postponed delivering the medicine IN
til the morning, for I had little con-
fdence in the power of any drugs in
his behalf; but about nine o'clock in
the evening. having hidden an unusual
~ early goodnight to Dorothy. sat
Gown to enjoy quiet pipe. Smoking
induced reflection, however. and after
a little I resolved to visit my patient
and thus to occupy the hour or two
which must elapse before drowsiness
would come. The night air was chilly,
and a keen wind was blowing from the
sea, making the light overcoat wore
welcome addition to my attire. APP
proaching the knoll, L saw light stream
ing from the window of the living
room of the old house, proving that
Lamar, in spite of his rapidly-failing
health, was not yet forced to give UP
his evenings with his books. a volume
