away rushed the voluble little lady to

Which was certainly true.
Long before, indeed within few days
of the time of which Clare had spoken,
DR.. Faber gave the order she had ex-
pected.
you may now said the physician,
while Clare stood by, deeply attentive,
"recline more than actually lie down;
sit up to meals, and, with limitations,
at other times, say, in that low, easy
fauteuil; always, mind, indoors or
driving out, having plenty of cushions
to rest against, always taking care to
avoid strain or fatigue to the spine.
In another few days you may walk a
little, say, ten minutes, always careful
to avoid fatigue. You must not stand
for more than few minutes; 1t is al
ways more trying than moving"

began the young man, eagerly, when
the old doctor interrupted with arch
alarm:
"Whew! softly, softly, my boy, not
quite so fast That big brain Of yours
had the worst of the shock after all,
remember and needs the most care.
We don't want to have back the con-
slant weight and aching, do we? Nor
the letters to swim before your eyes
in ten minutes?" patting the dark head
lying on the sofa cushions as If Wilfred

one, too. mo. no, Will, very little of

the beginning of August. But l can

and wish her to leave"
Tired! Leave me! Oh, no,
couldn't spare her at any price" said
Erlston, with an intense earnestness
understhe lighter tone, and his eyes
went to Clares with sort of mute ap-
peal that vaguely thrilled her as she
said, laughingly:

you know. l won't leave you as long
as you want me-"
Not you," said the doctor, with a
changed manner. ct wouldn't be Clare
Savile to leave friend, patient, or post
of duty if danger and death were the
penalty. I leave you safe in her
hands" dropping back to his usual
tone as he got up to go. "She will
keep your mind occupied without let
ting you think too much, except of the
present"
An old grey shadow swept over Erie
ston's handsome face, and he drew a
quick, silent breath, with a restless
movement, that Clare noticed also, even
whilst DR.. Faber shook hands.
Goodbye, my DEAR Goodbye, Will

When the doctor was gone Mrs. Sa-
vile went quietly to the piano, and
played softly first one thing, then an
other-gems of Mendelssohn, Schu-
mann, Chopin, one or two of Henselt's
exquisite Etudes-all chosen to soothe
a troubled soul, glancing now and
again over her shoulder towards the
couch to note the effect of the music's
charm and power. Yes, Wilfred lay
quite still now, his face, on the creamy
cushion, with a more restful look on
it. But she never dreamt then, nor he,
that the player even more than the mu-
sic had the power to put, for the time,
exquisite sweet for bitter, and hold in
the foreground of thought this present
chat each day centred itself slowly,
surely. unconsciously closer round one
being-Clare Savile.
Too weak, even at first numbed, and
PROSTATE physically and mentally for
anything but languid, yet delicious
quiesence in his surroundings and at
tendant, a deep, dream-like sense of
restfulness stole into him and grew
upon him unconsciously. All the men,
tai and emotional powers of the strong.
