Of movement terror of eating-though
sane in every other respect. Some there
are, too in whom this terror is developed

only be detected by one who has made
deep research in this particular branch Of
nervous disorders"
The French professor followed with a
lengthy discourse. in which he bestowed
the highest praise upon Sir Bernard for
his long and patient experiments which,
he said, had up to the present been con-
Quoted in secret because he feared that
if it were known he had taken up that
branch of medical science he might lose

Then, just the meeting was being

"Well?' he asked. What do you think

I'm a certain degree-yes. 1t makes clear

And also makes it plain that poor Mrs.

Perhaps. We will see.''
So We turned and retraced our steps to
the house Of mourning, where, having
pleaded urgent consultations with patients,
l took leave of Ethelwynn. We were alone,
and l bent and kissed her lips in order to
show her that my love and confidence had
not one whit abated. Her countenance
frightened, and with sudden joy she flung
her arms around my neck and returned my
caress pleading-"Ralph! You will forgive
you will forgive me, won't your?
Il love you, dearest!" was all that could
reply; and it was the honest truth direct
from heart overburdened by mystery and
suspicion.

How very sad!' And he sighed sympatheti-

sadly.
Truly the old physician led an anchorite's
life going to and fro with clockwork reg

I was compelled to agree to his sugges-

annoyance to my love. I knew how she
had suffered when a few days ago I had
questioned her, and felt convinced by her
manner that, although she had refused to
