ina threw up his hands and cried out,
our FRINGE! The Heiri the Emperor's son!

Then there was great commotion in the
market-place. Some ran off to endeavor 10

| whist others beiabored lila ana gave him
| hard blows, accusing him of having, by
ms brutality, deprived them Of their bene-
FACTOR lila, once free, searched also for

and repented of his evil conduct.
: Manot had FLED swiftly away. and con-
cealed himself in = held of maize He lay
there hidden by the tail leaves, and gave
! vent TO torrent of tears-such tears as
| he had not went since the death of his
Iondly loved mother.
Now L understand the sting of ingrat-
itude-the pain OF being wrongfuly accus-
ed
Hardly had this cry escaped his lips
! when the Hermit stood before him, and
laying his hand on his shoulder, said
Look up, ManoU, Dost thou not recOg-
nize me. and seest thou not who comes
with Uneven thy little friend Aiariora?"
SO Manok stood up before them, and his
eyes were dazzled with the beautiful vision
OF Marlora, who, after one glance at him
from her deep black eyes, dropped her eye
lbs, so that her long eyelashes yelled her
blushing cheeks.
Have not guarded your treasure even
better tnan you did that of your servant?"
asked the Hermit; for / have given her
TO no one"
Manoi, like child who is being repri-
manded, bowed his head and trembled.
zone cannot do good to others against
| their will. You have only half earned your
reward said the Hermit, pointing to Ma
riora.
Straightway they were transported to his
hut Manoli looked from one TO the other
in the greatest surprise. I'VE will enjoy
your freedom for a few hours before you
resume your task said the Hermit Ma
riora will prepare US some food, and you
will remark how the cave has been trans
formed by. her fairy-iike fingers-the car
pets are spun and woven by her, and the
hangings and curtains are all her work
The repast finised, Marora, who was
attired in stuff of her own spinning and
embroidery, showed him the books in
which she had studied, with the aid of the
learned sage.
ManoH at this lost his gaiety and said.
II grow more ignorant every day, for I
have no time TO study; l shall become
quite inferior to you, Mariora."
you must think of some remunerative
occupation now. and you must have some
leisure for study" said the sage.
"And what then viii become Of my
poor?" asked Manoh
There are various ways of beneftting
mankind, my son., said the Hermit. you
must reflect upon It.
Manoli passed some happy hours in the
cave and as the sun lowered casting a
violet CLEAN over the mountains and Il
blue shadow across the valley, the Hermit
said
"Thou must depart from us before
nghtfal"
Manon looked sadly into the distance.
His heart was heavy and Mariora attract
ed him like a magnet, for his late expert
ence of the world had been hard to en-
dure.
With reluctance. he went forth, linger-
ing on the way, and continually looking
back at Mariora who stood waving her
hand in the rays of the setting sun. He
felt the beatings OF his heart, and he was
7 conscious of a pain there to which he had
hitherto been a stranger. He wandered on
until worn out and weary, he lay down
under the shelter of a jutting rock and
dreamed of his dead mother and of all
her healing gifts, and her power of reliev-
ing suffering humanity. Starting up he
cried, Il will follow in her footsteps;
will heal the sick; I will be a physician"
! At day-dawn he descended the valley. and
entering the shop of an apothecary, asked
to be taken into his service.
do YOU know anything of nv busi-
! ness?" asked the apothecary.
IT can plant and cultivate and know the
| use of simple herbs-nothing beyond that"
said ManoH The intelligence and apDar-
ent zeal of the youth induced the apothe-
cary TO take him on trial He learned the
art quickly, and devoted his spare time
to study and to teaching the children of
the poor.
shortly after he had embraced this new
| career great festival was celebrated
throughout the land. for the new empress
had been brought 10 bed of a son. who
was to be christened TriandifuI. and
who would now take the place and honors
of the prince who had been so long lost.
Manoh was very sorrowful. mo one oc-
cupies himself about me now" thought
he; but / will apply myself more diIigent-
ly than ever to my work. A good physi-
clan has also merit let my brother be the
Emperor's SON" The youths natural tai
ents, and the Gift inherited from his moth
er, soon crowned his labors with success,
and he was renowned far and near for
being able to cure what had hitherto seem
| ed incurable maladies Science now be-
came the most potent factor in his life,
and his features grew thin and emaciated
by the tension of his mind, and by the
! scant sleep which he allowed himself.
His thoughts often reverted 10 Mariora,
again when he was worthy enough. About
this time che Crown Prnce-the young
'rrinandiful-fell sick unto death; and the
Empress, who was more especially clever
in The ailments of children, had Manoli
summoned to the palace.
Manohs heart beat with violent emo
ton on entering once more the paternal
roof, where each step, each object, recall
ed to him the days of his childhood and
from which he was self-banished.
The Emperor, his father. followed his
movements with anxious eyes, but there
was no sign of recognition in his glance.
He approached the bed of his young broth
er; examined him carefully, after which
he said Il think it possible that he may
be cured"
The hard, proud face of the Empress, at
the sight of which even the Emperor
trembled, was bathed in tears.
Manoli did not leave his patients side
neither night or day, until he saw the lit

Der; then he begged the Emperor aud EN-
