I could see the flutter of a white dress
, by the-gate as we drove on, but my at
tention was too much taken up by the
prettiest of . the plapiy,and,llwas,gapping
idly About, thinking nothing about "Miss
Kale*a'rid'her" - etidei, when ei the gig stop
ped and I jumped to the ground.
"Here he is Uncle, dear," She cried.
‘4litne he: wasi•hgre," exclaimed ,same

placed the tender leg in an easy position

the,limb, so thatithe •covering would not
touch the exquisiffir tender skin; and at
the end of a . halfatirbour,hadthe plewre
of hearing a sigh,. of satisfaction, and
seeing a smile steal over the.-face, which
wasinow (smooth tied bedewed' with a
gentle .perspiration, and: directly after'in
n'drousy voice my patient •s aid:
"Kittie, tny he's a trump.
Take . him into the next toom"and ap:
pologioe'to 'him, and , tell hint' I'm' not
alwaya'such a beast." •
•fle was half asleep already, while I
even in 'that s',lort hour—l had fallen
into a'dream ;a dream of love ; I whO
had never' loved before, iior thought of. it,
but as sickly boy and girl stuff, unworthy
of busy 'Tien.
I cannot tell you hoW the day passed,'
only that:Kate Anste . lhad implored me
not to leave her uncle yet ; and I ? I was
her slave, and would have 'done her bid..
ding even to the . death. '
lie was soon better, but my visitsto
the farm•were More frequent than ever.
f went one day - as usual, but instead of
Kate being at the window, and running
out to meet me, the old' gentleman stood
at the door, looking very angry, and he
;at once caught hold of my coat and"
'dragged the into'the kitchen. '
"Is anything wrong" 1 asked, trem
bling. •
- '‘`Yes lots," said the old man.'
di, you come here for ?"
"Fors mercy sak- don't keep it back 1"
I ,said for the room seemed to swim
around me. "Is Kate ill ?"
"Yes, I think' she is," lie ieplied,
gruffly:, "But lobk here young man what
does ;hismean ?"
..-"Meaul" I said. - "Oh, Mr.' Btand, if
is ill let - me acre - her at once." -
"She don't look very bad," he said,
peeling through the crack of the door
intorl the parlor,- where I could see her
white dress "but I say, young man, you
had better not come here any snore.
She's growing "dull - and I can't have my
darling made a fool of.
"Made a fool or I stammered.
"Yes," ,he said gruffly; "what do you
come here for ?"
- i was silent fora moment, with a
wondrodi feeling 4iteal over rrte;, as at
last my lips said—l did not prompt ; them
—"Because love her with all my heart."
-"And have you told her so ?"
"Not
.a werd " I said slowly. My hand
was being crushed yin a vice the, next
minute:
am not a gentleman,
.doctor, but I
know one. when I meet one. There,' you
may go arid talk to' ' her, if . it
. is as you
lay; for if
,it is true you wouldn't make
her unhappy ; but, my lad, the man who
Would trifb with that girl's heart, would
be the greatest scoundrel that ever step
ped on God'a earth."
.The whole of this part of my life is
dreamy that it is like somegelden
sion. .•
Bat I was at her chair, know; and
that.glorious evening I was .content to
watch the soft dreamy. face beside me, s oa p

the horses before the wheels ran over him
and broke his leg.
We were there in a, few minutes, and I
was shown into the back parlor, of , a
conifortable furnished house, where the
sufferer had been 'laid upon 'a mattress.
, 4 A brief consultation with my colleague
ensued, and he told how he was situated;
another important call demanded hii

A faint groan greeted us as we tuned:
to our patient, and as.l held the lamp
over his face,and the light fell upon th , ,
fair hair and long drooping mustache, I
nearly dropped the lamp. -
"Nemessis I" I thought. Mine enemy
delivered intt; my hands. Kate's, lover
lying bruised and broken—cruihed like
a reed at my feet. And now V need not
kill him to be . ' revenged for all his cruel
ty to me, but stand by lihpine, and he
would die.
For a few brief moments told me that
I possessed greater knowledge than my
colleague, and that .it I withheld mine,
nothing that Dr. Barker could do would
savr? the flame . that even now trembled
in the socket of life's lamp.
Thi. scene in the woods flashed before
me once again as I stood there—Kate's
sweet face 'upturned asking for this man's
kieses '
and all so vivid . ,that , brain
reeled and
.a mist floating before -my
eyes. '
What do you think - Mr. Lawler ?"
Said a voice at my elbow, and 'I
started
back into the present.
-"That he will be past ,saving in an
.hour."l said, quietly.
"r fear so " said Dr. Barker shrugging
his shoulders.
"Unless—"

"Kate—Kate--darling."

me to my senses, -and I was the cold'hard
