NO, not at once. She made the same
objection that you made-she was too

How old is she, Claude?"
"She is As. Let that end the matter"

CHAPTER Ii.

When a later period Claude Surtees
came to analyZe the state of mind which
made him act as he did on this occasion
he found that it had been composed of
several elements. The most obvious, and
probably the only one that the doctor
himself would have taken into account,
was simple delight in playing a prac-
tical joke on his brother.
Just let's see if | can't make a very
good imitation of his manner" Claude
said to himself Manner? It's all luck
in poor old Phils case. His heart is
great deal better than his manners"
Claude moved about the room while he
waited for the unknown Mr.. Lorrin to
come The snug, glossy furniture made
him feel irritated the whole room seemed
to him redolent of his sister in-law
Retta.
The truth is that the doctor would
have been very much surprised could he
have known how far his brothers ideas
had got beyond his own. Claude Surtees
had failed dismally and repeatedly in his
professional examinations, but Rettas
simple explanation-that he was idle
and careless-was inaccurate. In his
lodgings the young man spent countless
hours in earnest study. He had strong
ambition, however inijudicious was his
manner of carrying it out. And now, in
the doctors consulting room, he felt like
O. mischievous boy, and was going to
have some fun with Phil
But that wasn't all. As he gazed into
the bookcase his eyes grew thoughtful.
Something seemed to be impelling him
to see this "Mr. Lorrin." The thing
meant something for hlm-was going TO
lead him somewhere.
The electric bell rang-the professional
one. In a fash Claude was at the door,
intercepting the neat parlor maid
TITS all right, Agnes Mr.. Lorrin 7"
He had known it was Mr.. LoTrin-had
even had a correct idea of what he would
be like-a young man, rather ford, with
gold trimmed glasses, well built, well
dressed, and with something progresses
ing in the look of the eyes. Claude
brought him into the consulting room.
He knew that Dr. Sutees could not be
back from Lady Bsrtlett's for at least
an hour
"Dr. Surtees ?" the visitor said inquir
ingly, as he sat down in the chair of
fered to him.
Claude bowed.
Really" Mr.. Lorrin replied in sur
prise. Dear me"-he gave little laugh
TT beg your pardon, but / expected
that DR.. Surtees was g much older

said demurely.
"Ah, yesl' the visitor said.

swoRpFIsH PIERCE BOATS.
Fishermen Have Narrow Escapes in At
tempting to Land Catches.

The arrivals of swordfish at T wharf
yesterday are the heaviest for some
time, eight vessels bringing b6S fish.
In addition to the exceptionally large
catch nearly all the arrivals reported
trouble on their trips. Nearly every
boat reported damage from the attacks
of the giant fish, and two had narrow
escapes from collision in the fog.
On the schooner Angie B. Watson,
Capt. Schofeld, off Georges on Thursday,
one of the crew, Wesley Wallace. was
severely cut in the leg by the attack of
maddened fish which drove its sword
fish was pierced with the lily iron from
the pulpit" on the schooner, and in
going after it the dory Wallace met
with his accident. He had got the float
IN when the ilsh headed in his direction.
Before he could move out of the way
the big sword came inboard, piercing
Wallace's left instep and tearing the
side of the leg.
The Metacomet, Capt. Simmons, met
with fierce swordfsh bent on doing
harm to something. It's attack was so
fierce that the stout, bony sword went
through the three-inch plank just at the
port side of the forefoot, cutting its way
clear in until six inches of it showed in
side the vessel. The struggles of the
fish broke the sword, leaving part of it
still in the plank.
The schooner Tecumseh had the worst
experience with the fish. Three of her
four dories were pierced by swordfsh,
some of them several times The Miner
va had one of her dorles pierced also.
and the man in it had narrow escape
from being injured. The Albert w.
Black also had a dory pierced. Boston
