Bertrand's Discovery.
In a room in nn humble street near one
of tho largo hospitals sal Bertrund Fermoy.
Though scarcely over thirty, his chestnut
hair displayed many threads of gray, while
his handsome face, with 'its highj broad,
intellectual forehead, was haggard ittltl mle
from over study) too Binull euro for the
bialy'a nouiishmeut, und tl)s canker of a
great troublo hidden deep ill the recesses ul
his heart.
One of the wails vras covered with rows
of books, anciellt and modern, chiefly on
tho subject of chemistry, psichology, pa
thology and anatomy.
Close to another had been constructed n
small furnace, whllo under tho window was
a largo deal table, on which stood retorts,
crucibles and tho usual paraphernalia of ex
(erinieiital chemistry.
The only bright siMt in the placo wes in
one corner, where stood a clean, low bed,
containing a pale, hnudsomo boy of uboul
two years, asleep.
His golden hair streamed in bright curls
over the pillow, and one tiny hand was
pressed to his rosebud iiinuth.
It was tho bnly child of Bertram! Fcr
moy, who sat at the table tioriug over a
lurgo volume, often making ruiUs, mid oc
casionally watching with much auxiety a
crucible in the lurua v.
Ho was on tho cvo of a great discovery ;
n discovery that hud lieeil tho dream of Ins
life; n diccovcry that would Inaka him the
benefuclorof his' nicc', mid honored among
his fellow-men. For tho former hd toiled.
He heeded not the latter.
For thirty-six hours ho had not slept.
'Oh, Heaven I" ho murmured, rbriiptly,
like the hitler moan m.ido by ilientul pain,
as lio pasted his hand oyer his eyes.
''What a moment of delight, of unspeakoblv
jn.v, this nt niiu ijiiia would have been to
mul Now I work aS a creaturd of liabit,
even as tho blind mllt-horso treads his mo

power tbau my own comjielj mo onward.
Uaht" he added, irritably j ''why do I
givo way to such thoughts ut a time when I
need my brain 8o eicr?"
Hiding, he bent over the Crucible.
Its contents api tared to bo progressing to
his sn'tislactiot!, for ho agaiu returned to hi)
eat.
Hitrdly had he dono So, than a moaning
cry Irom llio child amused him.
"What is it, Bertie, my man?" ho asked,
kindly, though the habitual saducss of his
toucs was still apparent.
Tho child did not reply. Ho had uttered
the sounds iu his slumber; but after that
ono glance, Beitruud Fermoy, taking tho
lamp, knelt cageily down by tho bed.
The littlo fellow's Ihei ks were Hushed,
his lips crimson, hts infant forehead on
traded with suffering, while his tiny hands
were flung restlessly ovor the coverlet.
Tho practised eye of tho doctor undei stood
those signs at once.
Tho fever which had I'een raging in tho
neigiiboi hood had utlaeked hU buy.
Ill ill, iwrhap-i imb death I" hi ctted
rising erect ami throwing up his arms.
"HI, and nu mother to soothe to iiurso

He stopped. The fiereo light faded frim
his eyes. His arms fell to his side,
Notwlthbtandiiigall ho had to bear he hoi
never cursc.d hsr. He could not oven now
Dropping on his liticcs by tin child
couch, ho sobbed bitterly.
As he did so, like a vision tho p.irf came
vividly back to him.
Ho saw himself again thooountry doctor's
assistant, with that discovery' dlifflyT but "3
floating poVibility in his brain. Hfisuw it
the purjmso' of Iiil life; hie solo ambition to
bo tho discoverer. ,
Again he saw himself at the risk of'llfe,
staying the runaway horse of Alice Kenijal,
tho Squire's Daughter j rescuing her from
certain Injury, perhaps destbf For tli it the
Squire, wringing his hand had called him
friend, giving him praise and thauks. But
Alice had been more generous. She had
boetowed her love upon the gnod.looMug,
studious doe'oT thougli all tho world hud
said it Wf5 Captuiu Lascelles's.
He saw once more in that mental vision
their clamleetino meetings, and ,bel:cld the
loving ptidein her eyes as sho heard uud en
tered into his hopes and ambitions.
Once more he taw her standing with him
under the, elms ono midnight; ho eoiiTess
ing how dear sho was to him, yet fir her sake
bidding her reflect beforo (ho cast her lot
with hist that she was renouncing family,
luxury and comfort, perhaps for 'penury.
Ho still felt the pressure of her hand as,
placing It iu his, sho had said,-" I w mid suf
fer that and more (uryou, ncrtrand." Then,
with a smile, " Come, lore, am I to elepe
with you, or you with me?"
He recalled their home, at first so happy ;
then tho birth of ihoir boy ; then the change, comfort In having un old friend near ma,

Why; when her lore had gono to an
other! Only nitt of his own life all sunshine had
departed forever.
Ambition was dead. Tho feeling merely
reinalnii'1 that ho must perform his destiny;
Ho, must make that discovery,
"Thank Heaven," lid ilioilght, "sho has
loft mo,nTy laiy."
Fearful, ltdwovcr, that Ms unfaithful wife
might after awhile seek bi obtain her child,
ho had sold his practice1, end, with Bcrtlo
iiad hidden away inthispKlr neighborhood,
where ho had tolled on; until auccest mid
fever had entered his home together. Then
all tho abnvo passod rapidly through Irs
brain. Then tho child's necessity ooourrcif
0 him ; cooling medicines were required.
Ho rose, and after a careful 'examination
of th'e crucible, taking his hat, tan down
stairs.
In th'e nextlstrcet was trMrugg!st,'nd to
th it ho directed his steps.
The night was darHi-raitl was falling, but
Berlrand Fermoy was ton engrossed by his
new sorrow to heed it, or.lhat he w.h beinx
followed by a woman, who glided over tin
pavement niter liim. Rh was thickly vail
ed, and drcssod in rich but dark Blllre.
When he entered tho shop sho watehed
hliu eagerly, almost nervously, through the
window.
Winn ho came futth sho ellrpnk quick li
back into a dark doorway. Yet, as he hur
ried iristi'hiilf extended hor luind,as if ehe

moaning softly. Tcndrly the father plac
ing his arm round tho tiny form, raised it.
"Come, Berlie, my man," ho said, quiet
lv, "tlritlls this fur papa, Bertie will then be
better "
The boy opVitfOd his largo blue eyes with
pirtiul recognition, swallowed Ibe drug and
drupgicd back upon his pillow.
The doctor had been too occupied to nolo
the sound of a light step ascending; had
he, he would not liavo connected it with
himself.
But now, as, rifing, ho tlitned, ho started
back with n great cry, for there, on the
threshold of the door he had left njur, was
the woman who bad followed hint.
Even while he gazed as one who regards
a spirit, she entered swiltly, and dropping
oil her knees, throw bick her heavy vail.
Tho fucd disclosed was beautiful, but, pale,
and the largo gray eyes were full of li huu
gcring myrow.
Extending her hands, sho pleaded in mil
sic.il tones; "Oh, Berlrand, look not on me
thus I I nits no spirit, but your foolish err
ing wife, who at your I'cot prays for jiar-
don."
The words aroused In m Indignation
blended with sooni ill Ins expression, Step-

He burst iutd d low, hard laugh,
"Ynilr witnesses, madam V" ho rctoited,
bitterly. "Would you bring Captain Los-;
celles as one ? Pray have you lired uf hitn,
or he of you, that you aro hero?"
"Uertraud t"
Sho hud sprung tu her feet, as If he hud
struck her. Her tale el'eek was Hushed
her eyes brighU'iied ; then, m tremblim: ae
tents, sho added, "Oh, Heaven 1 truly am
1 punished moro than I cui bear. Bertram!
Bertram! t" and eagerly she stretched forth
her clasped hands "you surely never be
lieved, have never been living all this while
under that cruel belief of tho wife you once
loved. 'Foolish, selfish I liavo L"eeu ; never

Ho laughed ugain.but hisglanco wavered,
Tho recollection of his i.issioir for the wo
man before hinl began to turgo about his
hcVtrt aud brain.
Could she who had lain on his breast-
could that puro face, those clear eyes, mod

such a being us ho had imagined her?
Finding he did not uooTcr, Alice Fermoy
proceeded Inoro firmly, "Ueiiraiid, not nut

She Kent on.
"Berlrand, as you aro an-are, I renounc

''Jealous 1"
Ho thro his head up surprised

The season is now fait approaching when
wo must make our annual selection of
Christmas gifts.
It requires Imth tasto and good judgment
to get such ns are appropriate to the need
and wants of the recipient ; for oftentimes It
is 'ho case that one receives n multiplicity
of articles that nro of no Uso to them what,

Some years ago, wo gavo a silver frult-

nearly ns jaissiblo what otlkersintend to give
nir Iriemls before making your selections.
Whatever you give, givo freely, without
h,iw of icurn. The idea of Christmas giv
ing is the promoting of kindly feelings, and
giv.ng pleasure tn (hose around us by soma
little token nf renleinbrunro.
A gift is never prired for its money value,
but rather fur the lovo und good will that
prompted the offering.
The little folks hull tho coming of Christ-.

myriads ol toys nnd sweetmeats lu store for
them. How it warms the heart, and cheers
tho toiil, tn see around us so many smllihg;

on our part. It forcibly reminds m that it
is truly "more blessed to givo than to re

b n in 1 1 ; ami wo should not forget tho wr
and needy unminl us, who hove been lets
fortunate Hun iiurclked in their struggle
with the wnrld. Sumo littlo gift, such ul
our menus will allow, accmuuicd by kind
