The Wheels of Fate

The doctor now had a talk with Richard and acquainted him with the circum- stances of his birth and of his present condition. Richard agreed to become the doctors student-apprentice and so all seemed settled.
 Of course he was to succeed the old doctor in the medical practice of Middle mas, and eventually to marry 'Menie' Gray. What could be clearer!
 But the wheels of fate, revolving in their memorable orbits, brought about strange adventures and the interpositoin of strange lands before the manifest des- tiny could be fulfilled.
 Nurse Jamieson had early instilled into Richard the. romantic idea of his birth and that he was the son of some great man who, some day, would come to claim his son and welcome him to a great for tune and a great name.
 She told the story first, with the idea to please the boy, and partly for the purpose of indulging her own talent foi ampification.
 But she told it so often, and with SC many gratuitous commentaries, that the real transaction, mysterious and odd as it was, sunk into insignificance and tame ness before the nurses commentaries Ike prose contrasted with the bolde5l | flights of poetry.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-15
Claiming His Rights

Just at that time Richard was an- nounced by the servant. As he entered the room both the general and his wife were silent.
 'I am happy" said the lieutenant, "to have the opportunity of returning my thanks to General Witherington, to whom they can never be sufficiently paid.''
 Zilla, the wife of Gen. Whitening gton, was, as the reader has surmised, the mother of Richard Middlemas. The sound of his voice, though utterine words so indifferent. seemed to dissolve the charm which had kept his mother motionless. She sighed deeply and sank back into the cushions from which she had started up.
 You have received your commission, I presume?" said the general.
 T have" said Richard, and I SUD- pose Hartley has told you of my un- happy state. I am an orphan, de- serted by my parents, who cast me upon the wide world an outeast, about whom nobody knows or cares except to desire that I should wander far enough and live obscurely enough not to disgrace them by their connection with me"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-15
Regaining His Tongue

The exact hour found Hartley at the house of the wealthy native, whose es- tablishment had been hired by the begun. He sent in his card and Mime. de Moon- treville appeared
 What do you please to want?" asked she, that is, if you have found your tongue; which you seemed to have lost yesterday"
 T proposed myself the honor of wait ing upon the young lady whom l yes terday saw in the company of your excel lency."
 Much obliged, much obliged, but Miss Gray has gone out"
 At this moment Marion entered the room.
 T believe, madam said Marion, "that must speak with this gentleman for a moment or two in private-if you will permit me-"
 But l do not allow it. It cannot be in my house that young man and a young woman speak to each other in private ''
 Tt will, then, be out of your house madam replied Marion. MT. Hartley will you step into the garden?9

Heavens Condemnation

Zlla wrung her hands and drew the veil she wore about her face, as if to shut out the sound of Richards voice.
 It was evident that Richard had sus- pected that he had, at last, met his parents-he had been always searchin g for them and had seen them in many strangers.
 But Zilla's perturbation now con- vinced him and he sank upon one knee and said, as he took the generals hand and kissed 1t:
 70. my more than father, how much greater debt do l owe to you than to the unnatural parents who brought me into this world by their sin and desert- ed me through their crueltyi'
 Zila, as she heard these cutting words flung back her veil and with q groan sank upon the floor
 Did you hear him, Richard?' she cried in accents terribly loud. consider ing her exhausted state-did you hear his words? It was heaven speaking our condemnation through the voice of our own child. But do not fear, my Rich : ard; do not weep. l will answer the thunder of heaven with it's own music.

No Matter About the Name

 And doctor, what languages do you understand?"
 Latin and French" replied pr. Gray.
 That is unfortunate-no Spanish or Portuguese? We'll. you can make her understand my means of French
 May I ask" said the doctor, "by what name the lady is to be -
 That is totally indifferent" replied the stranger with a frown. you shall know more of it at more leisure"
 And, throwing his cloak around him, he walked down the street to the little inn.
 At about l in the morning the doctor went to the Swan inn and announced to the stranger that he was the fathef of healthy boy baby.

What GOssips Had to Say

He wandered through the rooms and heard gossip which made him i'll at ease. 'Who is that girl Zenobia has with her?'' asked one.
 70, some speculation of hers," replied another officer
 Your old acquaintance. Captain Mid dlemas, stands very high in the good graces of Zenobia, and this girl, it is said, is brought out at his request and consinged to Boadicia.
 This Tresham, or Middlemas, or what ever his name is, now commands a large portion of the Nawabs troops. They are nice pair-Middlemas and Boadicia." :"
 And the gossiping officers drifted away, leaving Hartley sick at heart.
 He began thinking what he could do for Marions protection. A servant touched him on the arm and slid into his hands a card. .t,#s n. It bore the inscription Miss Gray. Mrs. Montreyille's; at the residence of Ram Sing Cottah in the Black Town" On the reverse was written in pencil. ''At in the morning."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-15

Her robe was composed of light blue silk, a fine scarlet shawl was wound around her waist, and in it was stuck creese with richly ornamented handle.
 Her throat and arms were loaded with chains and bracelets, and her turban was decorated with a magnificent algrette. The brow was of European complexion and seemed made for command.
 And you have never seen the Queen of Sheba before?' said the officer.
 why, she is the daughter of a Scot tish emigrant. She married a partisan officer named Montreville, who made him. self little king, and this begun, after his death, tried conclusion with both the na- tive princes and English
 Finally she surrendered to Tippo-upor what conditions it is impossible to say But she has a whole province, the people of which are ready to die for her-she Is power-and probably Tippo's agent They say she can lead soldiers to battle better than most men,

The Bepum's Companion

But Hartley was hardly listening to the words of his informant. By the side of the begun he saw Marion Gray! He rushed over to where the two were stand ing.
 You have come to us very fast" said Mrs. Montreville in English. Are you sure you did not get your tongue stolen by the way?" For Hartley stood speeches..
 Marion slightly touched her lips with her finger and signed do not speak to me just now.'
 q thought that I saw an old friend in your companion, madam-stammered Hartley, but I find I am mistaken"
 ''The good people tell me-" rejoined the tegum, "that you are one Dr. Hartley. Now my friend and myself do not know any Dr. Hartley at all.'' E 'I ask pardon for my mistake" said Hartley, and retired, wondering what all this foreboded.

Old Doctor Gray

 Such was his medical reputation tha' he had moro than one chance 10 eS' change into some larger town-even te Fdinburg itself But he always declined He was q plain, blunt man, who did not love restraint, and was unwilling to sub- feet himself to that which was exacted by polite society.
 He married red-eheeked girl 1arhl- CTS daughter, herself one of P brothers and sisters.
 But for several years they had no ehi- dren. and 1t seemed as if "Old Doctor Cray" as the irreverent youth Of the VII Ia ge called him-he who had so olten as sisted the efforts of the goddess Lueina-' would never be able to invoke her in hls own behalf.
 Yet his domestic roof was, on remark able occasion, destined to be the scene where the art of the goddess was re- quired.

GlOries of the East

She was a young lady now, the most bbeautiful and accomplished in that sec tion of the country. and the two ap- prentices of the doctor were young men.
 Hartley, after his rejection by Mar ion, took the position of a surgeon on board an East Indiaman and sailed for Madras.
 There came at about this time to the village of Middlemas a youth who had formerly been an attorneys clerk in that town. He was recruiting sergeant for the Honorable East India com pany's service, and golden visions of the wealth to be acquired in those the village youths.
 Richard had got into absolute ways and Marion hesitated to marry him. He, on the other hand, charmed by dreams of the gorgeous and barbaric east, hesitated to press his suit.
 He would go away, he told her, and win fortune in the east. Then he would come back and marry her. Or, better still. he would send for her to come out to one of his conquered provinces
 Allured thus, Middlemas enlisted and found himself, not an officer but a private subjected to all the hardship which, in those days, went with a pri- vate's position. The rattan of the drill sergeant scored his back and the weevil ate his hard biscuits almost before lie could consume them.
 While the fleet lay at Southampton Richard was taken violently i'll and sent to the hospital. Adam Hartley, returning there from his cruise to the Indies, found him nearly dead, but saved him by hay ing him removed to another hospital ward
 Also Hartley reported the case to ths commanding officer of the post, Gen Witherington, who took an interest in the young man when Hartley had told hin that Middlemas had been a fellow stu dent of his in Scotland. You were brought up in Scotland?' said the generals lady to the doctor. T served my apprenticeship with pr Gideon Gray of Middlemas,' said Hart i lev

Gall Him Richard Middlemas'

The infant was at once christened by inc name of Richard. But when the doctor asked for the surname the stran- ger said; What is the name of your town--Middlemas welt call his Rich- ard Middlemas-and I am Matthew Mlddlemas, at your service.
 q am obliged to leave here mmedi- ately Here is 100 pounds. It will pro vide for the immediate wants of Mrs. Middlemasi l shall return within 10 days"
 After long conference with the strange lady MT. Middlemas" took his departure and Dr. Gray saw him no more.
 The time having passed when the stranger was to have returned and the poor woman having recovered from her confinement there drove up to the doc tors door dark featured, elderly man with an eye of much sharpness and severity of expression which now seemed quonched by mixture of griei and modification.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-15
Another Apprentice

To all this Richard was seriously in- clined, and was always waiting for the coming of his valiant father, who would arrive at the head of gallant regiment. with music playing and colors flying, to carry away his son to castles and splen. dors.
 pr. Gray, soon after taking Richard as an apprentice, took on another one, Adam Hartley, a youth of about the same age as Richard.
 The boys got on fairly well together, except that both fell in love with the doctors daughter Marion and used occa- | sionaly to fight about her in the recesses of the garden. In dress Hartley was most expensive, perhaps because his father afforded him better means of so being; but his clothes were neither so tasteful nor so well pre- served as those of Richard Tn their persons, also, was a strongly marked distinction.
