Eut ! bowed myself ont of the state
room. and FASTENED in search of the
official medicine man. who. il must H.
admitted, learned with entire satisfar-
ton that another had assumed chnr,r'
of Mrs. loring's case. Moreover. hr
cheerfully assisted in the preparation
of the medicine for her use. Ii was
warranted To I've harmless; il tasted
much as if a little sugar had been dis
solved in a generous quantity of wa
ter. rs il met the patients craving for
doses. however, aud as She was up and
about again in the course of few days.
IL may he said to have accomplished its
BENEVOLENT purpose.
In the meantime Miss GRAY and
were getting on famously. We walked
the deck together. we hazardcd small
bets on the steamers daily run. aud We
shared in the somewhat limited list of
mid ocean amusrmrnts. While the
moonlight evenings lasted We gave the
Queen of Night every chance in the
world Ia exercise her mischirvous sway;
but for once. at least. her powers failed.
! do not mean 10 suggest that our con
rersation WAS always coldly mattcr-of-
fact. 4 vein of sentiment ran through
H. nj times. but on the whole we kept
well within the bounds of everyday
friendship, which for two Young per.
sons placed as we were approached the
remarkable. There were condolences
exchanged, 10 be sure. or, Ia speak more
precisely, she heard a good deal of my
experiences and hopes and she confided
Ia me little OF hers. Ii may he that
the difference WAS due To the subtle
power she possessed of arousing in
others faith of the sort which leads To
such confessions. Thus il came Ia pass
that she acquired fairly accurate idea
of the life I had led and of the problems
which confronted me. while ! learned
only the outlines of her story. Her
parents were dead, and for the last
dozen wears she had been with her
aunt. who was n Childless widow.
Never the possessor of vigorous health,
Mrs. Loring had gradually worried her
self into the conviction that she was
mere physical wreck. Having no
home ties, and being able 10 indulge in
liking for travel, she had devoted her
self TO journeying about in quest of n
cure. She and her niece had visited
most of the noted cities of Europe. had
spent two winters in Northern Africa,
and now were ,oyaging back 10 Eng
land after short stay in Brazil.
With the exception of a storm en-
countered northo of the line. the Bedouin
met fine weather, and, after a good
passage, steamed slowly into the
Thames. ! have only n clouded recol-
lection of the scene when we went
ashore, though perhaps the most WILDLY
recalled incident is the impressive fare
well of burroughs and his inamorata,
by force of circumstances more panto-
mime than dialogue. Mrs. Loring AMI
her niece were bound for Paris. My way
lay westward.
so sorry to lose you, doctor-so
sorry" Mrs. Loring declared. "Actu-

Before very long. | hope; it may b.

Then where will you make your

called.

And aunt and | wish you every sue

says, IL is au revoir, and not good-by."
She drew her hand from mine -
don't know just how long il had been
in my clasp-and had the melancholy
pleasure of assisting her to enter the
cab. Then the vehicle rumbled away,
leaving behind n sorrowing young man,
who stood watching it grow smaller
and smaller i'm the distance, and who.

day of the new year, W oefully lacking in
