Yes it islost, but Eve shall be 70

Look here, Miss Jordan, beautiful
face is like beautiful song, charming
in itself, but infinitely better with an
accompaniment
What do you mean, Mr.. Coyshe?'
A sweet girl may have beauty and
INABILITY, but though these may be
excellent legs for the matrimonial
stool, third must be added to pre-
vent an upset, and that-metallic.
Barbara made no reply. The auda
city and impudence of the young sur
geon took the power to reply from her
You have not given me that fiddle,
said Coyshe.
1 am not sure you will carry ii

the less she resigned it to him
When you part from me let the boy
have it. | win not ride into Morwell

A DOCTOR said Coyshe, if he is to
succeed in his profession, must be en-
dowed with instinct as well as science
A cat does not know what ails it, but
it knows when it is out of sorts; in
stinct teaches it to swallow a blade
of grass. Instinct with us discovers
the disorder, science points out the
remedy. | may say without boaSting
that l am trimming with instinct
you have had a specimen or two-and
l have passed splendid examinations,
so that testifies to my science. Beer
Aston cannot retain me long, my
proper sphere is London. / under
stand the Duke has heard of ME,
and said to someone whom l will not
name, that if I come to town he will
introduce me. If once started on the
rails l must run to success. Now l
want a word with you inconfdence,
Miss Jordan. That boy is sufficiently
in the rear not to hear. You will be
mum, l trust?
Barbara slightly nodded her assent.
i confess to you that l have been
struck with your sister, Miss Eve.
Who could fail to see her and not be-
come worshipper? She is radiant
star: have never seen anyone so
beautiful, and she is as good as she is
beautiful
Indeed, indeed she is said Barbara,
earnestly.
'Montecuculli said,' continued the
surgeon, that in war three things are
necessary: money; secondly, money:
thirdly, money. In love it is the
same. We may regret it, but it is I'M
deniable.'
Barbara did not know what to say.
The assurance of the young man i'm
posed on her; she did not like him
particularly, but he was superior in
culture &, most of the young men she
knew, who had no ideas beyond hunt
ing and shooting.
After little while of consideration
she said, Do you think you would
make Eve happy?'
I am sure of it. l have all the in
stlncts of the familyman in me. A
man may marry a score of times and
be father of fifty children, without in
stinct developing the special features
of domesticity. They are born in a
man, not acquired. Pater-familias

No. not yet; I am only feeling my
way. l don't mind telling you what
brought me into notice with the Duke.
He was i'll last autumn when down at
Endsleigh for the shooting, and his
physician was sent for. | met the doc
tor at the Bedford Inn at Tavistock:
some of us of the faculty had an even
ing together, and his Grace's condi-
ton was discussed, casually OF course
! said nothing. We were smoking
and drinking rum and water. There
was something in his Grace's condi-
ton which puzzled his physician, and
he clearly did not understand how TO
treat the case. I knew / have in
stinct. Some rum had been
spilled on the table; I dipped the end
of my pipe in it, and scrubbed a pre-
scription on the mahogany I saw
the eye of the doctor on it. I have
reason to believe he used my remedy.
1t answered. He is not ungrateful. /
say no more. A city set on a hill can
not be hid. Beer Aston is bushel
covering light Wait
Barbara said nothing. She rode on
deep in thought. The surgeon logged
at her side, his protruding water-blue
eyes peering in all directions.
You think your sister will not be
penniless?' he said
I am certain. she will not. Now
that my aunt has provided for me,
Eve will have Morwell after my
fathers death. and 1 am sure she is
welcome to what comes to me from
my aunt till then
Haiti exclaimed the surgeon.
