understood the captains order, from
my words and from my stricken APP
pearance, realized the situation. She
stood paralyzed, but only for a mo-
ment. While the guards were adj
vancing toward me she stole up to the
captain and slipped her arm through
his. When he looked down at her, she
was gazing up into his face with the
perfection of coquetry. l watched the
effect eagerly. His first expression was
one of surprise; then all severity died
away. An amused look followed, min
gled with admiration, and at last he
broke into a pleasant smile.

Miss Jack made me lie down, whether

shawl, sprinkling me all the while with
such a warm shower of devotion that,
despite her irate order to her maid, she
quite won my heart.
Looking OUT through the hall door,
saw a fat man bestride a lean horse,
with saddlebags, wiping the perspira-
ton from his face and riding up to the
gallery. He dismounted and entered,
putting for breath, and proved to be a
country doctor. Putting on a grave
face, he examined my wound critically
and made great ado at dressing and
bandaging it, then delivered the usual
admonition. He departed, leaving me
lying on the sofa, Miss Jack beside me,
ministering to wants that were not
wanted, devising schemes to meet re-
quirements that were not required.
