Notwithstanding the very great uu
i*'ty by which I W*S oppressed during
my dear lady's illness I think that
jwriod was far tin happiest eif my
life. In the lirst pla* e*. there is 110
privilege -.0 ilear to a true woman is
thai of liiiuisteriiig to otln rs. of feed
ing herself of vital <-e>usi*qtieiie-e to tie*
welfare of somcot dear to her.
Then. I was an *bj * t of the most
watchful e-are of two men. one of
u i.olu was ilear t'i me as .1 kind ami
devoted friend Avhth for the other I
was daily growing more and more
conscious of a deep ami increasing
love*.
Oh! those long, delicious hours spent
with Darracott by tin bedside* of erne
whom we both adored! Ami the ile
ligli tfill strolls tip and down the ter
race* when, our patient sleeping. Mrs.
Spencer insisted up."ll assuming our
post that we might gain the iuuc e
needed refreshment * f tic outer air!
There was no chapter ;u the man s
life but was reveal*-el i > nie* during
that interval. Freely, but with i.->
egotism, he* made nie acqi;ainte*d *.\i:!i
all his past, until I e-ame 10 know him
as intimately as I belie e*v**ry wo-
man should know the man she mar
ries. There were some page's not
quite so admirable as oihct>; so. a>
places with showed evil intiu ict s at
work in the writer's mil'!, sonic
se - e>ites where passion and revolt
against an untoward fate' threatened
to circumvent the limitless and up
lightness of a noble and -honorable
soul: but these only endeared their
hero more warmly to me. I loved
him, not for bis \irtr s alone, but
for his weakness also.
He- spoke to me freely of the pas
sionate sufferings of his boyhood,
when, for no fault of his own. h
had been deprived of the one blessing
which seemed to him of all others
most to be desired. The loss of his
mother's love was an injury to which
he had never become reconciled.
"It was not merely the fact that
she had no affection to In tow upon
me that wounded ami tortured me,"
he said, "but the additional circtim
stance of witnessing her lavish de
moustrativeniss fownrdsOeiaid. And
When that day arrived upon which her
darling anil idol committed against
me. beneath my very roof, the vilest
act of treachery which one man can
commit against another, even then it
was for him and his sin that her heart
bled, although her sense of Justice in
clined to espouse my Injuries."
"Itut she loves you now she does,
she does." was ray constantly reiter
ated rejoinder: at which he would
smile incredulously and shake his
head.
one day. to this oft repeated re
sponse of mine' lit- returned a reply
that aroused fresh suspicion- of Mrs.
Maylie rry iu my mind. - -
"If she loved nie, really loved me
with genuine anel not perfunctory af
fectieiu," he said, "would she have con
stantly besought me iu her letters
not to return, to remain away from
my home, to abs nt tny.-elf from her
society until she should be better able
to bear the companionship ol one; so
closely associate**] with her grief and
loss?"
Then it was that a light dawned ti]
pn me.
"Did you know that Mrs. May berry
wrote those letters?" I asked. "Might
It not be that she expressed senti
incuts of ln r own, which were entire
strangers to her mistress's breast?"
He looked surprised.
"Mayberry!" he exclaimed. "Oh
no; tliey were In my mother's hand
writing.
"Or in an excellent imitation of it,"
I returned; arid then for the lirst time
I made him a rare of tin- fact that
Madam hud employed her house
keeper as amanuensis, that she might
keep from falm ffie; knowledge of her
affliction.
l-'rom the look tnnt came into his
face as I threw this strong doubt up
011 that conclusion which lie had form
e*d concerning his mother's wish t*
keep him at a distance I imagine*
that this last act of treachery of May
berry's—as I could not but believe it,
and as 1 afterwards prove**l it to be—
had been the thorn that raiikled sorest
iu that sadly-misprized filial affection
of his. He seemed much brighter, in
far gayer spirits, after my suggestion
had taken effect.
A few days after this, kite one after
noon, 1 was sitting by Madam's bed
side. Darracott wan also in the room,
but at a distance, sitting by a wind
ow reading. Mael&m hud recovered
consciousness ami was aware of her
condition and surroundings, but Dr.
Spencer had forbidden conversation or
exertion of any sort, for she was still
very weak from Isss of blood. She
lay with her eyes wide opcu, gazing
steadfastly before* her, but seeing
nothing. Presently she spoke.
"Who is with 11111 ? you. little Doro
thy?"
"Yes. eh-.'ir Mndnuk."
A brief silence*. Then —"No lia-m
came to him—to my e-liild, Dorothy?'
I quivered at the appellation which
I bad felt reserved c\elus|veK for an
other. and I could hear a deep breath
drawn over there by the* window.
"No harm, dear Madam," I said.
"Thank Ooel! «» my «:<»*!. I *lo thank
Thee!"
There was another pause; and then
I was possessed by all impulse to do
something which would have dlsqual
ilied nie for ever aa a nurse in Dr.
Spencer's sight. I rose, and approach
ing her closedy, knelt down and took
her band in miifi . Then to her I put
a question that brought about results
which were a bettor panacea for her
ills than were all the doctor's medi
cauieiits.
"And if lie hail been injured, dear
Madam." I suggcßted, "what then?
It is only Darracott. yoti know not
Gerald.
Surely i was a Ixdd and venture
some maiden. My dear lady threw
my hand from her with some violence.
"Only Darracott! Only Darracott!'
she exclaimed. "Only the son who
has never from the moment *>f his
birth given me one moment's anxiety!
Only the son who, child ami man. has
studied and considered my comfort
and wishes in every respect! Only my
lirst-born, whose love ami devotion 1
never prized until they began to slip
away from my careless possession!
Only Darracott .the child and darling
of my old age, for whose happiness
and well-being 1 would gladly lay
down my life! Oh, Dorothy, how
little you imagine when yon say 'only
Darracott' that It is iu very truth 'only
Darracott' who tills every nook and
corner of my heart!"
The desperate longing ami regret
in her voice would have touched the
most callous breast. I heard a move
ment behind me, and knew that Dar
racott had risen impulsively at her
•words. Turn tug. I raised my hand to
a,'ay his advance, for I divined what
ei\ e* i her words hail produced ntion

I "If there could :K- ehoiee given me

whom I iieglet ted until I diseovereil
that my heart was. breaking for want
of the love 1 had s > Ion? disregarded."
The man behind me was striding
impetuously forward. I hurriedly
asked nnotlier question befor<* his
presence should tlirusi mine aside.
"And this tardy Justice is net simply
I the result of awakei.ed conscience.
MadamV" My utterance was almost
breatliles- in his haste. My dear lady
gave :i sharp, quick cr\. that was al
most a sob.
"Oh. no! Oh, no--tioT* she returned.
"The result of awakened love. Doro
thy' <• Father in Heaven, restore to
nie the heart of my boy!"
I turned then, i.tul sped from the
room. I had no lunger a right there.
In the hall I met Or. Spencer, and to
him I made full confession of my
guilt. I was ohlig "d to acknowledge
it, for the tears wi*re streaming down
my face, and lie was inquisitive con
cerning their cause. He looked grave
and shook his nelid, but I remained
obstinate in appro.al of my conduct.
"Even if sh(> stould die from the
effects of what yen call my itnprud
ene'e," I retorted, ' llie brief joy of re
union with her sua is worth twenty
years of confirmed cstrni cement and
suffering."
Ilut she elid not die. From that
hour she mended, having a cause to
induce her recovery, and Dr. Speucei
has always generously acknowledged
that I was the physician to restore;
her to health.
That evening Darracott and I took
our stroll on the terrace after dinner.
He seemed much preoccupieil. and
was but a duil companion. Finally'he
"We* have been doing my brothel
Gerald an injustice all this time*."

llis face* looked tired and white, but it
wore an expression of peae*c which
was new to it.
"1 opened his letter this afternoon
anel read it to my moth r. by her wish.
It seems that he and the woman did
not leave here together, its we* had
always supposed, lie tied in order to
preserve his honor, being aware of
the temptation tier society exposed
him to; and sin* followed him without
his knowledge, discovered his asylum
ami insisted upon sharing it. I am
glad that I can think more leniently
of him, and I am also thankful that
my mother's memories of him will
be less painful."
No one could eloubt the sincerity <>(
his worfls. To his noble nature it
was, I knew, a matter of profound
thanksgiving that the 'irotlier who
hail been so deeply Indebted to luiii
hatl been prove**! less unworthy his
benefactions. My heart grew warm
within nie at this new evidence of bis
magnanimity. Truly, lie wis a wor
thy son even of Madam as I bad tirst
conceived her —tlawles impeccable,
above suspicion or reproach.
Again silence fell bet ween us. We
were both busy with our own
thoughts. Suddenly he put a question
to me so abrubtly that it almost rend
ered me speechless.
"How ilo you feel about widowers,
Dorothy?" be asked.
My heart gave a quick leap, anel
then I controlled its impetuosity and
answered flippantly with a counter
question.

"Genus or individuals?"
"Oh. genus!" be replied, with a quiz

coolly as he.
"Why not?"
'They are* apt to dwell t<>«> weari
