sa THE DOCTOR'S PERIL. What can detain him? For the hundreth time Alice Stanley asked the question as she looked anxiously from the window. The black Feb- ruary day promised to be eucceeded by fitting night. The sky was over cast aud the wind blew in fitful gusts, Down in the village, a few lights be- gan to glow in the gray gloom. With a little shiver, Alice dropped the cur- tain. I hope John won't be called out to night, We haven't had a sin, gle evening for our own, have we, bahy ? bending over the cradle. Baby open his eyes and cooed, ex- tauding his dimpled hands, and Alice bent to lift him just as she heard » step which set her heart beating, as in the days when John Siauley was Alice Duabar’s lover. He burst into the room with a cheerishness and ease engendered by the comforting convie- that in his own castle he could shake off the subdued professional manner, which was sometimes a little galling, You have kept us very long, John, but by thinking we shall have the we have consoled ourselves you all evening. 1 hope 80 ,~ be a very bad night, and it can’t be heartily. Its going to any one will be ill-natured enough to send for the doctor. It is hard, birdie, to have so lonesome an eyrie for you A hurried embrace and he was gone, Alice barred the duor and re- tarned to the sitting-room, summon- ing her hand-mgiden for company, but Patty's presence proved small comfort, for after the most commenda- ble endeavors to appear wide awake, she tumbled iguominiously on the floor. Never mind, Patty, it is near 12 time we were all asleep. Dr. Stanley walked rapidly down to the village, quickening his step to a ran as he heard a train whistle, That must be the 10:15, he said. He reached the station, panting, just as the ears dashed past him, Bound for Lorimer Doe ? said the station agent with a laugh. You're pretty badly left, So it seews, panted the doctor, and there's not another to-night. No. the laugh dying out, Has there been an accident ?

Sapper over, Dr. Stanley ensconced himself in the great crimson arm-chair and enthroned his son uvpon his koee, while Alice dropped the red curtains after one shivering glance at the bleak night, then, bringing her sew- ing, prepared to hear all the doctor had gathered up in his day's tour at Stan. the fair face, and around the three villages, ) MM A gre led from Dr. sigh of content wel ley's heart as he contemplated cosy room, his wife's the smiling little one on his knee, No crowned king ever enjoyed great. er happiness than is compassed by these four walls, he thought, He was deep in a fanny story, when a sharp knock checked the laugh on Alice’s lips, and her eyes grew anxious as the little maid entered with the al | Dr, | and then dismountiog began to waik | ways dreaded yellow envelope.

As he flung open the dior, & vio- lent gust of wind blew the snow into their faces. Ob, John, cried his wife, in uncon- trolable agitation, doa’t go!

He was sinking into the lethargy of despair when like a dream of heaven came the thought of Alice and her child; Alice whom he had coaxed into this wild land only to let her drink of the cup of happiness that she might know the bitterness of its dregs. Doubtless she was praying for him now, poor girl. Then he pictured her watching for his coming, day after day, while the shadows fell heavily and more heavily upon her dear face, aud at last, some traveler would stumble upon him-=and then— He could go no farther with his imaginings. His heart seemed burst- ing and with a great effort he cried : Oh, save me, save me! Not for my sake, O merciful Father, but theirs ! ————— Surddy thar, Zeke ! cried a voice, fs two men came from an abrupt opening, and toiled along through the drifts.

It was high noon when the caval cade halted before Lorimer hotel, and Stanley, rather pale and shaken, was helped into Dr, Denison's office.
