CHAPTER XIV.
Susan stoddard's Prayer.

There was wide porch, spotlessly
scrubbed, along the front of the
house, and two hydrangeas blooming
gorgeously in tubs, one on either side
of the walk. The house looked new
and modern, shiny with paint and fur
nished with all the conveniences Of
fered by the relentless progress of our
day.
Little Simon had informed Agatha,
during their short drive, that Deacon
Stoddard had achieved this resi-
dence" shortly before his death; and
his tone implied that it was the pride
of the town, it's real treasure. Even
to Agatha's absorbed and preoccupied
mind it presented a striking contrast
to the old red house, which had re-
ceived her so graciously into it's spa
cious comfort She marveled that
anything so fresh and modish as the
house before her could have come into
being in the old town. It was next
10 a certainty that there was model
laundry with set tubs beyond the
kitchen, and equally sure that no old
horsehair lounge subtly invited the
wearied traveller to rest.
A cool draft came through the
screen door. Within, it was cleaner
than anything Agatha had ever seen.
The stair-rail glistened, the polished
floors shone. A neat bouquet of sweet
peas stood exactly in the center of a
snow-white dolly. which was exactly
in the middle of shiny, round table.
The very door-mat was brand new;
Agatha would never have thought of
wiping her shoes on 1t.
Agatha's ring was answered by a
half-grown girl, who looked scared
when she saw a stranger at the door.
Agatha walked into the parlor, in
spite of the girls hesitation in inviting
her, and directed her to say to Mrs.
/ Stoddard that Miss Redmond, from the
old red house, wished particularly to
see her The girls face assumed an

Japanese Hero Took Bride Practically
at the Command CT His SUI
perior officer.

The Countess Nogi was woman no
less remarkable in many ways than
her famous husband. The cireumstan-
ces of her marriage with Nogi, when
he was a brilliant young officer. are
unusual in the extreme, especially in
japan.
She was the daughter of Sadayoki
Yoii, and one day she was sitting in
the window OF her fathers house in
Tokyo watching the troops march
past, when she saw a gallant young
officer in command and Immediately
fell in love with him. Her father
found st out and found out who the
officer was, and later Nogi was APP
preached to bring about match.
He would not hear of it, as he had
dedicated his life to the nation and did
not intend to marry. But the young
lady would not endure this attitude,
and her father approached one of the

high officers. superior of Nogis, and
this officer fell in with the idea at
once, saying the match would be most
suitable and it was just what Nogi
should do.
The word was given from above to
the young officer, and Nogi practically
married Miss Yoji at the command of
his superior officer. The union turned
out to be an ideal one, as the subse-
quent history of the pair and their two
brave sons has proved. The Count and
Countess Nogi are regarded by the ma
ton as the most exemplary couple that
could be found anywhere. She was
every inch as much Samurai as he
was.-Tokyo correspondence of Lon

"Susaa's all right. when you once get
used to her. She's trifie olo.fashion-

But Agatha was not listening to the
doctors feeble justification OF Susan,
She was thinking hard.
Doctor Thayer," she urged "do you
want that woman to come here to take
care of Mr.. Hambleton? Isn't there
any one else in this whole countryside
who can nurse a sick man? Why, 1
can do it myself; or Mr.. Van Camp
bis cousin, could do 1t. Why should
you want her, of all people. when she
feels so toward u.s."
The moment his professional judg-
ment came into question Doctor Thay-
er slipped out from the cloud of en-
barrassment which had engulfed him
in his recent conversation, and as
sumed the authoritative voice that
Agatha had first heard
my dear Miss Agatha Redmond,
that is foolish talk. You are half
sick, even now; and it requires
strong person, with no nerves, to do
what 1 desire done. Mr.. Van Camp
may be his cousin, but the chances are
that he wouldn't know bromide from
a blister; and good nurses don't grow
on bushes in Ilion, nor. in Charles
port, either. There isn't one to be
had, so far as | know. and we can't
wait to send to Augusta or Portland.
The next few days, especially the next
twenty-four hours, are critical
Agatha listened intently, and a
growing resolution shone in her eyes.
Would Mrs. Stoddard come, if it
were not for what you said-about
me?" she asked.
''The Lord only knows, but 1 think
she would" replied the poor, har-
assed doctor. "She's always been a
regular Dorcas in this neighborhood."
"Dorcas!" cried Agatha, her anger
again faring up. IT should say Sap
phira.'
"Oh, now, Susan isn't so bad, when
you once know her." urged the doc
tor.
Agatha got up and went to the win
dow, trailing her travelling rug after
her. "She shall come-Tll bring her.
And sometime she shall mend her
words about me-but that can wait.
If she will. only help to save James
Hambleton's life now! Where does
she live?" Suddenly, as she stood at
the window, she saw an opportunity.
There's Little Simon down there now
under the trees; and his buggy must
be somewhere near. Will you stay
here, Doctor Thayer, with Mr.. Ham
beton, while | go to see your sister,"
Hadn't ] better drive you over to
see Susan myse1f?" feebly suggested
the doctor.
mo, I'll go alone" There was
anger, determination, gunpowder in
Agatha's voice.
But mind you, don't offer her any
money" the doctor warned, as he
watched her go down the hall and dis
appear for an instant in the bedroom
where James Hambleton lay. She
came out almost Immediately and
without a word descended the wide
stairway, opened the dining-room
door, and called softly to Sallie Kings
bury.
Doctor Thayer returned to the Sick
room. Ten minutes later he heard the
wheels of Little Simon's buggy rolling
of Susan Stoddard's place.

CHAPTER xIII.-continued.


Il can't go in-I can't bear to see
him so ILL.," she whispered; and as
Aleck looked at her before entering
the sick-room, he saw that her eyes
were filled with tears.
Agatha went back to her couch, feel
Ing that the heavens had opened. Here
was a friend come to her from she
knew not where, whose right it was
to assume responsibility for the sick
man. He was kind and good. and he
loved her rescuer with the boyish
devotion Of their school-days. He
would surely help; he would work
with her to keep death away. What
ever love and professional skill could
do, should be done; there had been no
question as to that, Of course, from
the beginning But here was some
one who would double, yes, more
than double her own efforts; some
one who was strong and we'll and
capable Her heart was thankful.
Before Aleck returned from the
sick-room, Doctor Thayer's step sound
ed on the stairs, followed by the
mildly complaining voice of Sallie
Kingsbury Presently the two men
were in low-voiced conference in
the hall Agatha waited while they
talked, feeling grateful afresh that
Doctor Thayer's grim professional
wisdom was to be reinforced by Mr.
Van Camps resources. When the
doctor entered Agatha's room, her face
had almost the natural flush of health.
''Ah. Miss Agatha Redmond"-the
doctor continued frequently to ad-
dress her by her full name, half in
affectionate Difference and half with
some dry sense of humor peculiar to
himself-"M Miss Agatha Redmond, so
you're beginning to pick up! A good
thing, too; for I don't want two pa
TENTS in one house like the one out
yOnder. He's a very sick man, Miss
Agatha"
II know, doctor l have seen him
grow worse. hour by hour, even since
we came. What can be done?"
HE needs special nursing now, and
your man in there will be worn out
presently
"Oh, that can be managed. Send
to Portland, to Boston, or somewhere.
We can get nurse here soon. Do
not spare any trouble, doctor. l can
arrange"
Doctor ThaYer squared himself and
passed slowly up and down Agatha's
room He did not reply at once, and
when he did. it was with one of his
characteristic turns toward an ap-
parently irrelevant topic.
Have you seen Sister Susan?" he
inquired. stopping by the side of
Agatha's couch and looking down on
her with his shrewd gaze. 1t was a
needless question, for he knew that
Agatha had not seen Mrs. Stoddard.
She had been too weak and ill to see
anybody. Agatha shook her head.
We'll, Miss Agatha Redmond,
Susan's the nurse we need for that
young gentleman over there. It's con
slant care he must have now. day and
night; and IL he gets well, it will be
good nursing that does it. There isn't
nurse in this country like Susan,
when she once takes hold of a case.

but they find practically no place in
