In United States Court Judge Cot

AN UNPRoFESsIoNAL REMEDY.

The operation promised to be quite
successful, viewed as an operation sim
ply, and yet the great surgeon did not
look entirely satisfied as he removed
his operating garments and made
ready to depart. The eyes of the nurse
who had waited upon him cleaned
with professional satisfaction as they
regarded the work of the morning, but
they grew troubled as they fell upon

her ear against the family beating

said. The great specialist turned back
from the door he was just passing
through and came up to the bedside
The young surgeon who had been as
sisting him, and who had modestly
stepped aside as the patient was
brought into the operating room and
prepared for the anesthetic which he
was to administer. became as pale as
his operating apron. The patient, who
had borne the operation and the jour
ney from the operating table back to
her own room admirably, looked up
at them suddenly with eyes still dim

he told the assistant, land she must

The young surgeon made no reply,
and the nurse, fearing that he thought
her forward or unprofessional. blushed
scarlet as she bent over the patient.
She was pretty woman herself, and
still in her first youth, although
neither so young nor so beautiful as
the motionless girl on the bed, but the
young surgeon had no eyes for the

CHAPTER Ii.

Violet Beaton's story of her life was
very simple. Dr. Beaton had settled
down in the village of ST. Byno's hop
ing to do as most other people did
there enjoy a long life. He married
Mary Atherton, whose sister had just
come home from Paris. and had taken
up her abode in the pretty, solitary
house known as Acacia Cottage.
The doctor and his wife lived very
happily; they had had but this one
child, Violet To the regret of all
who knew him, the doctor died sudden.
ly of fever, caught from a poor
woman whom he was attending. mis-
young wife did not long survive him
In these circumstances, Miss Ather-
ton could hardly do less than adopt
Violet, for, so far as she knew, DR..
Beaton had no relatives living. except
younger brother who had gone
many years before 20 America. Miss
Anterior had an income of just one
hundred pounds per annum, and, by
dint of practieing the greatest care and
economy, she had been able to provide
her niece with home.
1t was picturesque cottage, with
picturesque surroundings; yet Violet
Beaton had not a happy life with the
stern, grim lady who had forgotten
what youth and beauty and love were
like.
Il was handsome once" she said one
day, when she found Violet standing
before a mirror admiring the shining
splendor of her own hair. "and you
see what it has come to-"
II should like to be handsome, too,
aunt" remarked the girl.
1T would make little difference in
the end IL you were," said Miss Ather-
ton, grimly; and Violet, glancing at her
aunt. shuddered.

.<violet's thoughts went back to an
incident in her childhood. Miss Ather-l
ton had given orders to have the grass
on the little lawn mown. 1t was stud
led with white DAISIES that had been
the very pride and delight of the childs
zart-wide-open DAISIES with golden
o. es; and, when she saw them cut
down by the scythe, she cried bitterly.
Miss Anterior was exasperated IL
yas bad enough to have a niece; Il
was worse still to have a niece given
TO sentimentality.
From that day, when Violet half
broke her heart over the dead DAISIES.
Miss Atherton had done all in her
power to repress the girls imagination
instead of training it; and the con-
sequence was that it grew under this
repression, and not in the healthiest
fashion 1t expended itself or ideallz-
ing the beautiful things around her.
Strangely enough, however, Vioiel 5
thoughts had never wandered to the
subject of love. She did not sit by the
river, as some girls would have done.
and dream of a possible lover, the
reason being that she had no young
girl friends, that she had read no love-
STORIES and very little poetry of a
sentimental kind. She revelled in the
pleasures of imagination, she peopled
the woods and the glades, she saw
what was invisible to other eyes; but
her thoughts had not yet wandered to
the subject of love.
Miss Anterior was passee now, but
long years before she had her romance,
she remembered even now the pleasure
and the pain of it. The same pain,
she was determined, should never
pierce the heart of ner niece. There
fore she carefully selected her friends
and supervised the books that she read
and the pictures she saw; and Violet.
at eighteen years of age, was frank
simple, and innocent as a child.
No one knew the details of Miss
Atherton's love-story She had been
handsome, once upon a time, with a
| proud, stately beauty. 1t was faded
now; pain had left great lines on her
face, had blanched her hair, had taken
the light from her eyes, and left her
bitter, cold, and proud. 1t was gem
orally believed that her great enmity
to the aristocracy rose from the fact
that she had been cruelty deceived by
one of their number. This was actual
ly the truth. Miss Anterior had for.
meTly lived as English governess of a
family of high position in Rome. An
English noblemamn visiting there fell
| in love with her and for more than
seven years kept up a constant cor
respondence with her, always promis-
ing that he would make her his wife
when his father died. When that time
came, however. he married a beautiful
Young heiress, and Miss Anterior
found that she had wasted her life,
youth, and beauty on a dream. 1t was
this remembrance which made her so
bitter as she walked amongst the roses.
She had tried to teach her neice two
things; one was to detest the aris-
tocracy of all nations. the other was to
live without love.

eyelids of the fainting woman began
to flicker he moved so that the eyes
shaded should fall upon no one but the
nurse. Standing in this position the
patient saw him no more than she
had done when he stood behind her at
the head of the operating table, hold
ing the cone by means of which he
was administering the ether. But the
young surgeon could see her perfectly,
and he scrutinized the delicate, blood
less face with care and a degree of
attention not entirely due to profess
sional interest.
What do you mean by fainting, Miss
Stanley!" exclaimed the nurse, in her
cheeriest, most professional accents,
as the wide eyes opened fully. Don't
you know that every time you faint it
weakens you little, and that you've

rhe nurse had slipped out of the
room for a moment, and they were
quite alone. He stopped and kissed
her lips. The little patient was still
too near to the mysterious realms of
Inconsistencies to be astonished at
anything that happened, and she took
the happiness the gods provided in
such unexpected fashion quite simply.
