must look for It,"
This note Maddy read and reread until
she knew IL BY heart. particularly tho
part relating to Gry. Hitherto she had
not particularly liked her name, greatly
preferring that II should have been Eliza
Ann. or Sarah Jane; but the knowing
that Gay Remington fancied it made .

the clause. 'and the doctor. too" His
attentions and likings she took as a mat

when she heard him at the gate. The

bloom again. The doctor was very happy
that morning, and SO, too, was Maddy,
talking 10 him upon the theme of which
she never tired. Guy Remington, Jessie,
and Aikcnside.
Il suppose Mr.. Guy will be bringing Z
wife there some day when he finds one"
and leaning back in the buggy Maddy
heaved a little sigh, not al thoughts OF
Guy R~cmington's wife, but because she
began 10 feel tired, and thus gave vent
to her WEAKNESS.
The doctor. however. did not 20 con-
strue ii. For the FIRST time when listen

throb of pain shot through HE heart, .
something as near akin to jealousy AZ it
was possible for him to feel. But an

he did not at that moment dream Of
such an emotion In CONGESTION with Made
