COUSINS
Had you ever a cousin, Torn ?
Did your cousin happen to sing?
sisters we've all by the dozen, Torn,
But a cousin's a different thing ;
And you'd find, if you ever had kissed, her, Torn,
(But let this be a secret between us,)
That your lips would have been in a blister, Torn,
For they're not of the sister genus.
There is something, Tom, in a sister's lip,
When you give her a good-night kiss,
That savors so much of relationship,
That nothing occurs amiss;
But a cousin's lip, if you once unite,
With yours, in the quietest way,
Instead of sleeping a wink that night,
You'll be dreaming the following day.
And people think it no harm, Tom,
With a cousin to hear you talk;
And no one feels any alarm, Tom,
At a quiet, cousinly walk ;
But, Tom, you'll soon find, fur I happen to know,
That such walks often go into straying,
And the voices of cousins are sometimes so low,
Heaven only knows what you'll be saying !
And then there happened so often, Tom,
Soft pressures of hands and fingers,
And looks that were moulded so often, Toni,
And tones on which memory lingers;
That long ere the walk is half over, those strings
Of your heart are all.put in play,
By the voice of those fair, demi-sisterly things,
Is not quite the most brotherly way.
And the song of a sister may bring to you, Tom,
Such tones as the angels woo,
But I fear it' your cousin should sing to you, Tom,
You'll take her for an angel, too ;
For so curious a note is that note of theirs,
That you'll fancy the voice that gave it
Has been all the while singing the Nationll Ai
Instead of the Psalms of David.
I once had a cousin who sung, Tom,
And her name may be nameless now,
But the sound of those songs is still young, Tom,
Though we are no longer so.
"Xis folly to dream of a bower of green
When there is not a leaf on the tree ;
But 'twist walking and singing, that cuusila has boon,
God forgive her! the ruin of me.
And now I care nought fur society, Tom,
And lead a most anchorite life.
For I've loved myself into sobriety, Tom ;
And out of the wish for a wife;
But oh ! if I said but half what I might say,
So sad were the lesson 'twould give,
That 'twould keep you from loving for many a day,
And from cousins—as long as you live.
SPRING WATER.
Follow the path by the old stale mill,
Till you are under the brow of the hill,
Turn to your right, puss the sycamore tree,
And a spring of water you there shall see.
Born deep down, in the loins of the land,
Struggling up through the silvery sand,
Bubbles are breaking upon its brim,
Blue-eyed grasses ate kissing its rim.
Violets bend o'er the mossy brink,
Pale anemones stoop to drink,
And the pebbly bottom of green and gold
Has always new miracles to unfold.
Diamonds never shone out so fair
As the crystal fountain that gushes there,
Brighter than stars on the breasts of kings,
Or the sparkling spangles on Fairies' wings
You may boast the merits of rare old wine
From the sunny vintages of the Rhine;
You may clink your glasses of pink champagne—
And scoff at water with proud disdain ;
But hollow your good right hand, and iill—
Drink as deeply as ever you will—
Dregs at the bottom you cannot find—
Spring water leaves no headache behind.
From the New Orleans Crescent
MY CARD BASKET
BY MARY ASHLEY
Mr. and Mrs. GEORGE W. BRUCE
Miss Kate Howard.
I used to think sometimes that Kate
was made of sunshine. She had the most
unclouded brow I ever saw, and her eyes
shown with a light which proved they had
always been accustomed to look on the
bright side of things. Her father was a
man of great wealth, stern in his bearing
and proud of his position in the world.—
Her mother was a small, timid, fairy-like
creature, and I do not believe these two
people, so totally unlike each other, could
have ever lived happily together had not
Kate been sent as an equalizer between
the two extremes. Their love for her was
the only sentiment they, had ever felt in
common.
The home of the Howards was a grand
old place, long since past that newness so
suggestive of carpenters, of chips, of mor
tar, lumber, plaster and paint. One could
lie down under one of the grand old trees
in front of the house and fancy a thousand
romances connected with the stately manor,
rearing its white walls near. At the back
of the house lay the garden ; and as the
pruning passion was never admitted there,
it was a mass of clambering vines, trailing
roses, ivy cloaked oaks and beds of myrtle ;
instead of the prim trees trimmed till
. they looked like hoopless old maids with
huge green sun bonnets on their heads ;
roses snatched from native groves and
made tO grow over wooden hoops, or non
descript devices made of string and shingle ;
with myrtle clipped to resemble a midi
pan full of greens, and ivys torn down
and cast out as intruders—which is the
style of the modern garden.
This was Kate's favorite haunt, and in
the shade of two old cherry trees, under
the branches of which was placed a rustic
seat, did she spend the few hours she de
voted to meditation or day dreaming.
An only child, with great personal at
tractions, and the heiress of a large for
tune, suitors were, of course, plenty.—
But Kate seemed proof against all of
Cupid's shafts, however well directed.—
There certainly was about the young lady
the most chilling air of indifference, when
she did not care to make a friend even of
a lover, that ever woman wrapped herself
in. An iceberg were twenty times as ap
proachable;
and whoever the unlucky
`might, who dared to venture nearer after
she had assumed this manner, was sure to
go away feeling as if the mercury had
suddenly fallen from fever heat to zero.
Hospitable in the extreme, Colone
• Howard frequently invited guests to spend
several weeks at a time at his house; and
himself enjoyed. leading the fishing and
hunting parties gotten up at' such times,
and delighted to display his own unbroken
progress in the manly sports and games the
young men diverted themselves with in the
long summer twilights.
. One evening l as he sat upon his front
piazza, chatting with a young Dr. Bell and
Mr; Boss, both guests at his house, and
both decided suitors for Kate's hand, the
evening stage drew up at the foot of the
lawn, and a young man alighted. Kate,
-who was standingin the front door, watched
him as he came up the walk, and as ho
mountedlhe, piazza steps returned the dis
' tact bow pe wade :her with - one quite as
ith' ht . 11
- eptare sal.g
The Colonel rose as the new-comer ap
proached, and glancing over the letter of in
troduction the latter handed him, said with
a cordial smile as he finished its perusal,
.I. am glad to welcome you here. Gentle
men, this is the son of an old friend of
mine—Dr. Bell ; Mr. Ross, this is George
Bruce ; and here, Mr. Bruce, is my daugh
ter,' he added, as Kate demurely advanced
bringing a chair to the new guest.
Mr. Bruce was a tall, slender, pale
young man, not at all handsome, but ex
ceedingly graceful. He seemed like one
not much accustomed to mixing with the
world, for his introduction had embarrassed
him and he had blushed twice. Blushes
are not used in the grand toilette du monde.
They are cosmetics prepared by nature,
and the world replaces them with the works
of chemists it deems superior. Mr. Bruce's
blush was the sign in the heavens which
led Dr. Bell and Mr. Ross to suppose he
was a very verdant specimen of humanity,
against whom they could display their own
superior attractions and accomplishments.
Whatever Kate thought, aid not show in
her face, but she listened without seeming
to, to all Mr:ilkuce's conversation with
her father, and more than once, as her
eyes wandered toward the young man's
face, they caught an exchanged glance
passing between Dr. Bell and Mr. Ross,
plainly indicating that their opinion of the
stranger was no exalted one. Yet Mr.
Bruce could talk well ; it was only that
culture of brain which excludes ornate
culture of body, that gave him the air of
a man of little taste. Self-taught, he had
been an earnest student, and the book
worm is not of that species which spends
its life weaving silken cocoons, in which to
encase its form. He was poor, but to him
the future looked doubly bright, viewed
from the shadows of the past, and to rise
high in his profession as a lawyer was a
determination which only the most un
toward events, or life, could thwart. As
his business with Mr. Howard was ended,
he rose to go ; but his host would not
listen to such a thing, assuring him he
would be both grieved and mortified to see
the sun of an old friend stopping at a
hotel when his house was at his service.
Mr. Bruce hesitated a moment, glanced
down into Kate's face, thanked Mr. How
ard and remained.
Some time passed, during which, Mr.
Ross and Doctor Bell allowed no opportu
nity to slip in which they could possibly
make Mr. Bruce appear in a ridiculous
light in the presence of Kate. At
the same time they were anxious not
to appear as the real agents of. his
discomfiture. Any sport in which they
thought him not proficient they were sure
to propose , and any passing subject of
conversation, such ; as questions of dress,
manner or fashion, that they imagined it
would embarrass the young student to be
called upon to join in, and which they, as
young men of the world, could talk upon
fluently, was often advanced. Kate was
blind to none of these things, and Dr.
Bell and Mr. Ross—neither of them ever
great favorites with the young lady they
were addressing—grew less and less such
every day.
One afternoon Dr. Bell proposed going
down on the flats target-shooting. He was
a capital shot himself, and promised him
self much sport at witnessing Mr. Bruce's
efforts to hit the mark. The flats consisted
of several low, marshy fields, which, for
the purpose of draining, had been ditched
at regular distances, each ditch being
about two feet deep and one wide—these
were generally half full of muddy water,
and a person unacquainted with the ground
ran great risk of tripping into one of them.
Whether this had anything to do with Dr.
Bell's selection of the flats he only knew.
Mr. Bruce, when asked to join them,
consented readily, and made his appear
ance a few minutes after with a fine
double-barreled rifle upon his shoulder,
and other shooting accoutrements worn
with the air of one accustomed to them.
Kate looked at him as she went out to
mount her 'horse, and wondered how she
had over thought him homely. As the
servant Jed up her horse, Dr. Bell flew
into the house to get a chair for her to
mount from, and Mr. Ross took the bridle
from the ostler to hold the animal for the
young lady. Mr. Bruce bent a little and
extended his hand, in which Kate placed
her dainty foot and sprang thence into the
saddle thanking Dr. Bell with a bit of
malice in her smile, as he sat down the
useless chair. Her father joined her, and
they rode slowly along to the grounds to
witness the sport.
Arrived at the spot, the target was
placed and Mr. Ross given the first fire.
He raised his rifle with the air of a man
sure of his mark—took slow and deliber
ate aim—fired, and missed the target—his
ball plunging into the sod a foot to the
right of it. Dr. 'Bell next tried his skill,
aimed with care, and the ball struck an
inch above the mark.
'.That's good for such a distance,' said
Mr. Howard, as the Doctor ran across the
flat and pointed out his .shot—'two hun
dred and fifty yards is long rifle distance.'
Now, Mr. Bruce,' cried the Doctor,
it is your turn.'
Mr. Bruce stepped forward, raised his
rifle without taking any apparent aim, and
sent the bullet straight into the target's
Bravo,' cried Mr. Howard. Really
that is the best shot I ever witnessed.'
Dr. Bell -.looked confounded ; then, as
much to conceal his astonishment as to
prove by closer inspection his rival's suc
cess, he started on a brisk walk for the
target. A little excited and still more
vexed at having himself been outdone in
the presence of the woman he loved by the
man he had intended to embarrass, Dr.
Bell forgot to pick his way and suddenly
, found himself in the bottom of a ditch,
the thick and slimy water of which pene
trating his thin clothes and causing them
to adhere to hint rendered him, as he
regained dry land, an object of mirth as
well as pity. Overwhelmed with confusion,
he neither heard the expressions of sym
pathy lavished upon him, nor saw the
polite effort to restrain the smiles his ap
pearance excited. Catching his hat from
the grass, he beat a precipitate retreat,
cursing inwardly the nature of the ground
which offered no friendly mound or kindly
hollow to conceal his ridiculous plight.
The accident put an end to the target
shooting, and the party strolled homeward.
Dr. Bell, in fresh attire, was the first to
meet them, and with assumed - good humor
• led the laugh at his first experience in
ditohing. Underneath :his light raillery

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1860.
termined, by a series of petty annoyances,
to have his revenge.
Mr. Ross, meanwhile, determined to
have his fate decided at once. He felt {
sanguine ; for he was rich, dressed always
in the height of fashion, and could lisp soft
nonsense in a lady's ear by the hour.—
These were enough, he imagined, to win
any woman's heart.
The evening was warm and rainy. The
showers came down in that soft hushing
way which in dreamy summer evenings
seems like a lullaby sung by the clouds
to hush the earth to repose. The shrub
bery was dripping, the lawn was soaked,
and Kate sat by the sitting-room window
looking out into the darkness and listening
to the rain. She was roused from her
reverie by the entrance of Mr. Ross, who,
after a few preliminary remarks, informed
Miss Howard he was about going away.
If he expected to see the young lady give
the most approved start and anxiously
demand when and why, he was sorely
disappointed ; for with the most indiffer
ent expression of countenance, she turned
her face from the window and asked
quietly,' In this rain?'
For a moment Mr. Ross was confused,
but only for a moment. With the readi
ness of shallow minds, his at once regained
its composure, and he formally proposed
for her hand.
You honor me too much, Mr. Ross,'
was the cool reply. C I have looked upon
you as my father's guest—as my lover,
never!'
I am astounded to hear you say so,'
cried the excited young gentleman.—
' What, then, am I to understand by all
those acts of kindness with which you
have encouraged my suit, Miss ?'
Simply that you are one of those young
men, sir, who contrive to turn the slightest
act of courtesy or hospitality, on the part
of a woman, into a decided acknowledg
ment of love. I never gave you the most
distant encouragement; for, let me assure
you, you are one of those friends a young
lady could not feel pleased ever to remem
ber as a rejected lover.'
Mr. Ross considered for a moment on
this rather equivocal remark, then ex
claimed:
Your manner has changed, Miss How
ard, since the arrival of this young jack
anapes of a lawyer. I see how it is. For
my part I shall remain no longer to be
played off against such a fool. I feel hurt
—insulted. I would like to warn my
friend, Dr. Bell, of his danger ; but let
him look out for himself. I bid you adieu,
Miss. Maybe you will regret this hour
yet—maybe.'
Mr. Ross seemed at a loss how to ex
press himself further. In spite of Kate's
request for him to remain until the rain
was over, he seized his hat, declaring he
would never exist five minutes under the
same roof with a woman who had jilted
him and bowing himself out backwards,
with an ironical sir of politeness, he sud
denly found himself on the edge of the
piazza—too late to heed Kate's hurried
warning, too late to recover himself, and
over he went, backwards, falling a distance
of seven feet, plump into the loose soil of
the flower beds below. Kate rushed to
the steps, anxiously demanding if he was
hurt. A strange vision of a man of mud
rose an instant to her view, answering
never a word, and the next moment was
lost to sight. A dilapidated beaver, and
the impress of a man's figure in the soft
soil, showed in the morning where he had
been ; but he was seen no more, and to
Mr. Howard alone was his sudden disap
pearance satisfactorily explained, through
Kate.
The next afternoon Kate's horse was
brought around for her usual ride, and
turning to Mr. Bruce she remarked, that if
he would like to accompany her, her
father's horse was at his service. Mr.
Bruce stammered, hesitated—then catch
ing a malicious glance from Dr. Bell's
eye, expressed his pleasure, and at once
went out with her, and, mounting, they
rode slowly away :
Miss Kate,' said Mr. Bruce, after a
few minutes silence, it is needless for me
to tell you lam no horseman. The de
light I experienced in the prospect of
being your companion on this ride over
came my remembrance of my awkwardness.
When a little child, I was thrown from a
horse, dragged a long distance in the
stirrup, and horribly wounded by the
animal's hoofs. I never recovered from
the horror of that hour, and must frankly
confess to you that I am afraid of a horse,
and, as you must see, no rider. I was
telling Dr. Bell of this the other day,
and—'
At this moment a horse's heels in swift
career-came down the road behind them,
and the next moment Dr. Bell, flushed,
merry and malicious, joined them.
I. could not resist the temptation to be
of your party,' he said to Kate, as he
doffed his hat and shook back his hair.
And the temptation,' thought Robert
Bruce bitterly, to display his superior
horsemanship where mine must appear to
such disadvantage.'
4 Here is a fine lane,' said the Doctor.
Where does it terminate 1'
At a rail fence which encloses a clover
field. The lane used to lead to Farmer
Bloom's house, but another has been
made, and this is no longer used.
Let's have a race,' cried the Doctor ;
and as he spoke he struck his own horse,
and the one Kate rode being its mate,
they started off at a mad pace, her efforts
to hold her horse being all fruitless. Sore
that Bruce's horse would follow suit, Kate
looked back, and sure enough there came
the poor student at a John Gilpin rate,
stirrups flying, his hat off, both hands
clutched in the animal's mane, and looking
the very image of mortification and chagrin.
The doctor and Kate cleared the fence
at a bound ; the horse of their companion
broke as he neared it, stopped short, and
sent its rider flying over, to find a resting
place in the long clover.
Are you hurt?' cried Kate, leaping
unaided to the ground. Believe me, Mr.
Bruce,' she added, as the young man rose
to his feet, could I possibly have held my
horse, this should not have happened.'
He glanced into her soft eyes, and took
the proffered hand. You are forgiven,'
he said ; and, folding his arms across his
chest, he stepped aside, permitting them
once more to leap the fence.
Mr. Bruce," said Kate, turning her
head, invited you to accompany me
upon this ride •, surely you will not desert
me Dr. Bell,' she added, you have
proven that our, horses will not travel
quietly.together ; I ;wet briglon: to ride
on:- y The doctor-bit,* lip, but obeyed •
and Mr. Bruce, remounting his now quiet
steed, rode slowly back, by Miss Howard's
side. What passed upon that return none
knew but the young lawyer and bonny
Kate ; their ride was long and slow, but
words flowed fast, and were followed by
that deep silence which says more than
language.
As they sat down to tea that evening,
Dr. Bell, a little late, came hurrying in,
and with a laughing look toward Mr.
Howard said : .1 suppose you heard of
our race this afternoon.' Mr. Howard had
not.
The Doctor at once burst forth in the
most ludicrous description. of it, winding
up by saying, After we had cleared the
fence, 1 looked back and there comes our
friend Bruce, flying over, free from the
saddle and bringing the top rail in his lap!'
A sight which Dr, Bell might have
lost had he not have taken so much pains
to bring it about. I, for one, fully appreci
ate the motive which led him to thrust
himself where he was not expected,' said
Mr. Bruce coldly.
Dr. Bell's eyes flashed, but he did not
at once reply. Rising soon from the meal;
which was finished in awkward silence by
the whole party, he said : I will have a
moment of your time, Mr. Bruce, if you
please,' and the two walked hurriedly out
into e yard. With a pale face Mr.
Howard rose to follow them.
Do not leave me,' cried his wife, cling
ing timidly to his arm. lam frightened
—nervous—stay by me, I beg of you.'
Mr. Howard re-seated himself. ' Kate,'
he said, do you go and in my name, for
bid any serious difficulty between those
hot-headed young men I hear high words
in the garden ; go at once, child.'
Kate sprang up, and hurrying forth,
found the gentlemen beneath her favorite
cherry trees in hot dispute.
My friends,' she said, let this quarrel
end here. Do not, 1 implore you, make a
matter of life and death out of a mere
joke.'
Dr. Bell's jokes are insults,' said Mr.
Bruce, striving to speak calmly. I have
borne them long enough ; I had rather be
a target for his bullet than his tongue.'
He expects to evade fighting me, by
refusing to end this on the spot,' hissed
Dr. Bell through his clenched teeth ; he
pretends to feel delicate about making
your father's grounds the scene of a duel,
and to hide his cowardice proposes that. we
wait a more fitting opportunity. He re
fuses to apologize for insulting me at your
father's table, and dares not fight me in
your father's grounds.
You shall have my apology at a fitting
place and time, in the way you have
demanded it—from the muzzle of a
revolver—but not here.'
No doubt you desire time to practice,'
sneered the Doctor. If you were as
skilful with the revolver as with your rifle,
probably the repect due your host would
not so far outweigh the respect due your
self.
Mr. Bruce stepped up to the rustic
tench where lay his rival's case of pistols,
and fixing a five-cent piece against one of
the cherry trees, walked back fifteen paces,
and cut a piece from the edge of the coin
with his bullet. Any time and place but
this,' he said, laying down the weapon and
folding his arms across his chest.
Dr. Bell bit his lip, while his hot cheek
grew pale with intense anger.
Gentlemen,' said Kate, stepping for
ward, ' 1 ask as a personal favor that you
let this matter rest here. Be assured,
should either of you persist in making it
the subject of a duel, I should despise
you both. As you value my esteem, let
hostilities of so deadly a nature cease at
once. These I will take into my posses
sion,' she added, closing and taking up the
case of pistols, and I beg you both, as
my father's guests, not to make his home
the scene of an angry dispute.'
She placed her hand on Dr. Bell's arm
and led him away, leaving Mr. Bruce to
follow at his leisure.
Miss Howard,' said the Doctor as they
turned down the winding walk, may I
hope that it was any feeling of alarm on
my account that caused you to interpose
just now ? May I believe that you care
enough for my life to wish to prevent my
risking it V
I would seek to prevent the - risk of any
human life,' replied Kate distantly. As a
woman,l am strongly opposed to the duello.
Were I a man, it would perhaps be differ
ent. There is a moral courage which
excites my admiration more than this sort
of bravery which finds its aohme in stand
ing up to be killed and daring to kill. To
a horror of bloodshed, not to personal
feeling, attribute my interference.'
And may I not hope that the affection
I have long cherished for you, long
trembled to disclose, has met a response
from you V
I cannot answer you now,' Kate said ;
to-morrow—some other time.'
But I cannot remain under this roof
longer with Mr. Bruce.'
g - You earl, if you really desire the reply
you have asked for.'
They entered the house and the evening
was spent in an embarassed manner on all
sides, Mr. Howard having retired early
complaining of a slight indisposition, arid
the two young men each lingering, un
willing to leave the field clear'to his rival,
while Mrs. Howard, more than usually
taciturn, aided Kate not at all in her efforts
to keep up a conversation.
The next morning Kate hurriedly en
tered the drawing room, and was followed
by Mr. Bruce who had been awaiting her
presence. There Dr. Bell stood looking
out of the window ; but he turned to give
Miss Howard a gracious good-morning,
while Mr. Bruce in no position seemed to
come within his line of vision.
.Gate's face expressed alarm and agita
tion.
Doctor,' she said anxiously, my
father you know has not been in usual
health for a few days past, and this morn
ing he has symptoms of a serious nature.
May I, in the absence of our family physi

Dr. Bell grew very red._ I am
grieved,' he said, to know of your fath
er's illness, but, I supposed you knew—
the fact is, Miss Howard, I could give no
medical aid, being Doctor' only by
courtesy—a mere college title.
Indeed ! You bore it with a good
grace which certainly led us all to believe
you justly entitled to it.'

or near my father, until I can securelor

6Oh most assuredly—your requests,
Miss Howard, are with me commands.'
What is the nature of your father's
malady ? Has it yet mistimed any decided
form ?' asked Mr. Bruce, who had re
mained a silent listener to the conversa
tion.
We are fearful,' said Kate, that it is
small-pox.
4 Small-pox,' groaned the Doctor,
small-pox ! that vile disfigurer of the
human face divine, that loathsome leprosy
which leaves its impress forever on its
victims ! Small-pox, in this house ! in
our midst—hoiror of horrors ! it has been
the dread of my life—and now I breathe
its very breath ! Recovering himself a
little he suddenly turned to Kate—
' Fly, Miss Howard, fly ! You exposed
to' this frightful scourge—this fearful
pestilence !—let me entreat you to leave
the house at once !'
Alas !' said Kate, the disease is so
dreaded, and creates such a panic wherev
er it breaks out, I fear we could obtain
no efficient aid if I left. Still, Doctor, it
will be a comfort to know that I can
depend upon you—that you will not desert
us in this trying hour. I thank you for
your ready promise to remain.'
Miss Kate, you cannot be serious ?
You would not ask me to face this awful
disease—to run the risk of taking it, of
suffering from it ? Pardon me; I cannot
encounter it.'
Unless deemed unworthy of so sacred
a charge, I would ask of you, Miss How
ard, the position you have offered to
another,' said Mr. Bruce, blushing and
embarrassed. 6 I would deem it a favor.
Only seek safety for yourself.'
Mr. Bruce will stay,' eagerly cried the
pseudo Doctor, forgetting for a moment
his foe in his fright. You can trust your
father with him ; he is not afraid of the
disease. As for myself, really I could
not breathe this atmosphere another mo
ment. I would feel that I committed
suicide to do so. I will order my horse
at once.'
Have yon had the disease asked
Kate, turning to Mr. Bruce.
I have not; but 1 will guard your
father's life as I would my own. Only
seek some place of safety for yourself.'
4 Do fly, Miss HOward,' urged the
Doctor,' let me bear you from this fear
ful place.'
I cannot go,' said Kate coldly. lam
surprised that the life which last night
you offered as a target to an enemy's
bullet is this morning too valuable to be
risked in the service of a friend.'
Really, Miss Howard'-
6 Not a word, sir ! Mr. Bruce, you
will find my father in the library ; not
well, certainly, but as free from small
pox as ever in his life, and ready to
answer the questions you yesterday
desired me to authorize your asking.'
Miss Kate—Miss Howard—am I to
believe myself the victim of a vile hoax V
cried the Doctor, angrily.
By no means—only the subject of a
test, by which I desired to prove if your
moral courage equaled your animal spirit
of bravado.'
And are your father's symptoms of a
serious nature 3'
Only such as a parent would naturally
