Ciodionisly and gently the doctor told his story. 11,s effect noon the iriviiliul was magical. The listless •offerer whose interest in life seemed ended, was eudilenly converted into the alert, eager 1111 l an, able and ready to risk all to save her beloved. The girl eat tip suddenly in bed, duped the doctor's hand, and carried it to her lips. "Oh, bless yott, sir, bless y,,,,, for your kindrt,s," she cried. "I'm acting most illegally, you know," said llorsce. •• Illegally .• To help an innocent man!" cried Elan, with all a woman's line disregard of logic. "Heaven will bless you for your goodness, sir." "And now I want to know what's to be done wat ?" said llorece. Ellen lay wrapped in thought for a few tninuter. "I'll speak to Jon.

The cri 11l inal was not of sufficient importance to the authorities to make tho police particularly on the alert for his rapture. II imee did not forget his promise of laying Lovell'• C AO before his lawyer brother. "The young fellow was a victim to his fool of • s dicitor." wrote the latter in reel,. "His lawyer missed ail me strong points in hie case, and of c iurse A (the counsel for the fellow-clerk) was sharp enough to profit by this. But I think I see my way to obtain a piece of evidence which may bring home the guilt where it is due, and you may see Mr. Bates in the dock yet." Anil, indeed, Clement Thorold so vigor, Andy pushed his investigations that this result actually followed within a few months after Lovell's escape from prison. Once in custody, a host of ugly stories began to crop tip against the accused clerk, who was, in fact, a scoundrel of the first water. Ile never stood his trial, however. Ile committed suicide in hi, cell shortly after his coininitment, leaving behind hint a written confession which syplained how the web of suspicion had been , woven around his unfortunate fellow-clerk. Nothing is done hurriedly in legal matters is this country, and even the proving of the innocence of • condemned person takes time ; but, in clue • mrse, Charlie Lovell was able to retort, to England having, in accordance with the orthodos Custom in such circumstances, received a "free i pinion " for • crime which it was conclusively proved he had never committed. Lovell's former employers behaved generously. 'They made him a liberal compensation, and reinstated him in their einploy in a superior position to the one he had formerly occupied. A blithe wedding shortly took place at the farm, ot which Dr. Thorold attended as an honoured  guest. "That's our doctor," said Mrs. Fry to one of the London visitors. "Clover! 1 should just think he wan. You'd never believe, to se* Ellen's rosy cheeks to-ctsy, what a poor, die-away soul the dear girl was when Dr. Thorold came first to her. 1 never thought to have had her above ground with as now. If it hadn't a-been for doctor, there mightn't have been no bride here to-day, aa 1 tells father." The good woman did not know that but for Dr. Thornld's good ofilnee the hri,kgrocon also might have been missing from the feast. Horace kept discreet silence regarding his kindly deeds, and the three sharers of his secret, the newly-wedded em•ple mid Jim. were equally reticent. For the law givee an ugly name to such philanthropic deeds se Horace—end Jim—had lately indulged in; and. thongh Lovell's innocence was now proved, he had been a convicted felon at the time Dr. Thorold concealed him. Long years afterwards, Sir Horace Thorold, the famous London phy•ician, related dn. adventure a his youth to his grandchildren. .Though remember, my dears," the old gentleman had added, "though it all turned out well in the end, 1 mu not at all sure that I did rightly at the time.•' "Oreticlpapri, you covida't have done otherwise," exclaimed an impulsive granddaughter. "Well, well," said Sir Horace, .1 don't advise people living upon Dartmoor to take in convicts to bide as I did----" "But you would do the same again." cried Ella. NA man may be a fool twice in his life, as well enee,• said Sir Horace with a smile.
