almost a stranger!'

"Ah, but you are a man, and his friend! ~
T ESCAUT rapidly reviewed the situation
Land that not altogether from Pauline's
point Of view. He had obtained, by the
merest chance, a footing in Madame Cor
tons house, and he meant to retain it. 1t

her daughter whom he saw sitting 70 near
him, and he had an agreeable fancy that

Very well. we must invent one" Pauline's
eyes shone.
"Beautiful-' she said. Lescaut pro-
eeeded to feel her pulse and take her tenn
perature.
I will return to Madame Corton."
Madame Corton, hearing his step on the
stairs. met him at the door of the room
hollow, and the doctor found himself once
more in that subtle and thrilling atmosphere
which had so suddenly reawakened his In

"Wer. doctor, what is your verdictF'

most suave, professional manner, lis in
condition slightly febrile, and has a pulse
lacking little in regularity.
"Oh, DR.. Lescaut''
"I assure you, madame. that there mo
occasion for alarm. A slight disturbance
of the nerves, no more" Lescaut had
avoided Madame Corton's eyes as he said
this. When he looked at her again she was
smiling; it was a smile that he could not
quite understand
''It will be necessary for you to see her
again?' she asked.

r ESCAUT hurried back to the Rue La

with some impatience. \
"You must have found Madame Cor
tom vastly interesting" the lawyer said
.sor was il the daughter? Why, Anatole
YOUR face is shining. Is everything sti

Nothing is fat to sound and san

.'Then you have recovered your own san

said.

Again you are mistaken There
is nothing whatever the matter with me!'
Lescaut showed no sign of surprise; his
gaze remained courteously sympathetic. He
leaned forward and stretched his hand to-
ward the FIRE.
Madame Corton, your mother, was puz-
zled as to the nature of your illness"
Then she does suspect"
II know nothing of what Madame Corton
may think said Iescaut. But, made
moiselle, IL there is nothing whatever the
matter with you, why am here at this

Can l trust you, DR.. Lescaut?'
my professional honor has never been
called in question
But have told you that need no pro-
fessional help. This is a matter Of the pro-
foundest confidence. Will you be my
friend?''
The doctor was silent for a time. Prob
ably the only reason why he was not i'm
mediately carried away by the girls appeal
was that he had already been carried away
by her mothers.
"You hesitater' Pauline cried.
''I win promise to be your friend" be
said, but it is possible that your idea Of
what friend may demand from a friend
may not agree with mine. You might, for
example, demand something of me which
would not commend itself to Madame Cor

in his chair and pressed his finger tips to-

But you have. I'm sure of it. .

"In that case it would be necessary to
