 Despite the Vsi0venly, debaucIied ap- | pearance of the honorahIe Mir. sydney Carton. the close resemblance between the two man was so great that it anashed the Identification like an egg
 Shortly thereafter the jnry brought in q verdict of acqulttal. That evening. | when Mfr. Carton had as usual, taken enough wine to be baif drunk he sud- denly took up candle and walked to c mirror.

"Too late. he said i one day 10 Lucille. T shall never be better than I am. shall sink lower and be worss. But Tor you. Miss Man cite. for ycu or for any one dear to you. would do anything. Oh, think now and then that there is a man who I would give his life to keep life you love beeide youi"
 Lucile cried as he spoke. To all outward seeming Sydney Carton re- l naained tho dissoiute, careless, brilliant. 1 hopelesn fellow he had always been. But henceforth there were many eveD- | ingA when he sat quietly In pr. Man ette's quiet house, instead of lying drunk across some tavern table.
 He did. not cease his attendance even when the man whom he had saved be- came the accepted suitor, but congrat- l ulated hts rival with none of his habit l uaI reckless indifference and with more sincerity than Darnay had ever seen in his face,

 I For ten days he worked, worked. worked in silence. Then one morning AIr Eorry, who had watched him hour after hour. saw him awaken as from | C heavy dream. Quietly he put away l;eustomed clothes. His face became calmly studlous and attentive again.

 Very deliberately. in pursuance of a plan thought out by him during his long hours of watching. MT. Lorry l presently said: My dear doctor, l am anxious to have your oplnion on a curious case in which I am very much l interested"
 pr. Manette glanced at his hands, which were dlscoiored by his late work. He looked troubled and listen~ I ed atsntiveIy.
 Tt is a case said Mir Lorry. draw ing deep breath. 'of a severe mental {. shock from which the sufferer recov- cred. But unfortunately there has been slight relapse"
 In a low voice the doctor asked for a minute description of the relapse.
 T do not think.'' said pr. Manette at last. that there is danger of fur ther relapses. There has been a strong I and ewtraoraiuary revival of the train of thought and remembrance that was the first cause of the malady. It is possible that there had long been 6 dread lurking in his mind that those associations would be recalled on 6 particular occasion.

 Two days afterward. pr. Manette quite himself again. went away to Joir Lueie and her husband. who had no been told anything of the relapse. Al soon as he departed. Mr. Lorry ana Miss Pross, like two conspiratore, burn ed and destroyed the shoemaker'i bench and the tools.
 Charles Darnay had never thought o parting Lucle and her father. Th' three settled down to live in the doc tors house. For more than i've year. there came nothing but happiness t, that quiet retreat. A little Lucie hat entered their lives, golden-haired lilx, her mother, and chattering connicall! in the tongues of the Two Cities tha heTd the skeins of their destiny.
