The housekeeper at Porthgeona Tower had jutit

led to eon,.lude that Mr and Mrs Frankland bad
return-.l to Lng 11..,:k1ey, after receiving the
new co tpt Trt. vert m's death, and had lived
there for soup• mmths in strict 'retirement.—
When they left that place, they moved (if the
newspapor rep .rt was to be credited) to the
neighborhood of London, and occupied the house
o f some friends who were travelling on the cow
finest. Here they must have remained for some
time, for the new year came and brought no
rumors of anv change in their place of abode.
January and February passed without any news
of them. Early in March the steward had oats.
.inn to go to the post-town. When he returned
to Porthgenna, he Caine back will, i new report
relating to Mr and Mrs. Frankland, which ex
cited the housekeeper's interest in an extraordi
nary degree. Ia two different quarters, each
highly respectable, the steward bad heard it
fee...non-1y announced that the domestic reapo.
sib lities of his master and mistress were likely
to be increased by their having a nurse tOengage
and a crib to buy at the end of the spring or tbe
beginning of the summer. In plain English,
among the many babies who might be expected
to make their appearance in the world in the
course of the nest three months, there was one
who would inherit the name of Frankland, and
who (if the infant luckily turned out to be a
boy) would cause a sensation throughout West
Cornwall as heir to the Porthgenna estate.
In the next month, the month of . April, be.
fore the housekeeper and the steward bad dose
discussing ch.:4l*st and most important fragment
of news, th e postman made his welcome appearauos
at Pordigeotta Tower, and bro ug ht anot h er note
from Mrs. Frankland. The housekeeper's face
brightened with unaccustomed pleasure and sur
prise as she read the first line The letter
announced that the longoleferred visit of her
master and mistress to the old house would take
place early in May, and that they might be elt
pected to arrive any day from the first to the
tenth of the month.
The reasons which had red the owners of Pot ,
chip nun to flu a period, at last, for visiting their
country seat, were coooected with certain parti:
enters into which Mrs. Frankland hal not thought
it advisable to enter in ber letter. ,The plain
facts of the care were, that a little disearation had
arisen between the husband and wife ii relation
to the u. xt plsoe of residence which they should

steward—and was furnished by the housekeeper
with a book of hymns to read, to keep up her

Twelve o'clock struck, and still the monoto

those loud, toysteri , us, cracking noise which
make themse'ves heard at night in an ohl house,
were the only audit le sounds. The steward was
dozing; the maid was fest asleep ender the sooth

wide awake, with her eyes fixed on the window,
and her head shaking forebodingly from time to
time At the last stroke of the °look she left
her chair, listened attentively, and still hearing
nothing, shook the maid irritably by the shoulder
and stamped on the floor to arouse the steward
"We may go to bed," she said. " They are
not coming "
" Did you say they were not coming at all?"
asked the steward, sleepily setting his wig

" No; I said they were not etiating," answer

behind, and that the largest and quietest rooms
in the hotel were wanted immediately, under the
most enexeepted and moat interesting eireatn
stances. Never, 'since he had triumphantly pas
sad his examination, had young Mr Orridge, the
sew doctor, who had started in life by purchas
ing the West Winston practice, felt such a thrill
of pleasurable agitation pervade him from- top
to toe, as when he beard that the wile of a blind
gentleman of great fertilise had been taken ill on
the railway journey from London to Divonsbire
at the West Winston station, sod requested all
that his skill and attention could do for her,
without a moment's delay. Never, since the last
archery meeting and fancy fair, had the ladies of
the town been favored with such an all absorb
big subject for conversation as now afforded to
them by Mrs. Franklatiti's mishap Fabulous
scoonnts of the wife's beauty and the husband's
fortune poured from the orignal source of the ,
Tiger's Head, and trickled throbgh the highways
and Vera", of the little town. There were a
down different reports, one more elaborately false
than the other, about the lamentable condition
in which his wife had arrived at the hotel; and
about the painful sense of responeibiky waieb
had unnerved the inexperienced Mr. Orridge
from the first moment when be set eyes on "his
fashiooahle and lovely patient." It was not till
eight o'clock in the evening that the public mind
was relieved at last from all suspense by as an
aouneemeat that the child was born, and scream.
Wag Instilr, • that the mother was wonderfully
well, considering all things; and that Mr. Orridge
bad not may kept possessioe of his nerves, bat
had severed himself with distinction by the skill
tenderness, and attention with which he had per
formed his duties.
On the next day, and the next, and for a week
after that, the accounts were still favorable. But
on the tenth day, a catastrophe was reported.—
The nurse who was in attendance ou Mrs. Frank.
land had been suddenly taken ill, and was ren
doted quite incapable of performing aby further
service for at least a week to come, and perhaps
for a much longer period. In a large town this
misfortune might have been re&dily remedied,
but In a place like West Winston it was not easy
to supply the loss of ap ilkperieneed nurse at a
few hours' notice When Mr. Orridge was con
sulted in the new emergency, he candidly ac
kuowledged that he required a little time fir
consideration before he 'could undertake to find
another professed nurse of sufficient character
and experience, to wait on a lady like Mrs. Frank
land. Mr. Frankland suggested telegraphing to
a medical friend in Lyndon fur a nurse, but the
doctor was unwilling fur many reasons to adopt
that plan, except as a last resource. It weuld
take some time to find the right person, and to
send her to West. Winston; and, moreover, he
would infinitely prefer employing a woman with
whew eliaraeter and capacity he was himself ac•
quainted. He therefore proposed that Mrs
Fraoklaadebenhl be trusted for a few hours to
the care of her maid, under. supervision of the
landlady of the Tiger's Head, while he made in
quiries in the neighborhood. If the inquiries
prodneed no satisfactory result, he should be
ready. when he milled in the evening, In adopt
Mr Frankland'a idea of telegraphing to Linden
for a nurse.
On proceeding to make the investigation that
he had proposed, Mr Orridge, although be
spared no trouble, met with no success lie
found plenty of volunteers for the office of nurse,
but they were all loud voiced, clumsy handed,
heavy footed countrywoman, kind and wit jog
enough, but sadly awkward, blundering attend:
ants to place at the bedside of such a lady as
Mrs. Frankland. The morning hours passed
away, and the afternoon came, and still Mr Or.
ridge had found no substitute for the invalided
nurse whom be could venture to epgage.
At two o'clock be had half an hour's drive be
fore him to a country liou.e, where he had a
child patient to see. "Perhaps I may remember
somebody who may do, on the way out, or on
the way back again," thought Mr Orridge, as be
got into his gig "I have some burs at my
disposal stall, before the time comes hr my even.
'tug visit at tha inn."
Puttling his brains, with the best intention in
the world, all along the road to the country
house, Mr. Orridge reached his destination with.
out having arrived at any other tiooclusi3ti than
that he might just as well state his difficulty to
Mrs. Norbury, the lady wh , ae child he was
about to prescribe for. Lie had called on her

and had ftsund her one of tipme frank, good bia

designated by the epithet "motherly." her
husband was a country squire, famous for his old
plities, hig old jokes, and his old wine lie bad
seconded his wile's hearty reception of the new
doctor, with all the usual j .kes about never giv
tog him any "employment, and never letting any
battles into the house, except the bottle that went
down into. the cellar. Mr. Orridge bad been
amused by the husband and pleased with the
wife; and be thought it might be at least worth
.while, before he gave up ail hope of finding a fit
nurse, to ask Mrs. Norbory, as an old resident
in the West Winston neighborhood, for a word
of advice.
Accordingly, after seeing the child, and pro.
noeneing that there were no symptoms oboe t
the little patient which need cause the slightest
alarm to anybody, Mr. Orridge paved the way
for a statement of the difficulty that beset him,
by asking Mrs. Norbory if sbe bad beard of the
"interesting event" that bad happened at the
Tiger's Read.

was a downright woman, and a resolute speaker
of the plainest possible English—" You mean,

is she tolerably comfortable, poor thing? Can

"Yon would d.; a great thing for ber, and ren.

"And that will take time, of wiry? And

the outspoken Mrs. "Norbury. "Dear, dear me!

those words, Mrs Nurbury rang the bell, and
ordered the servant who answered it to tell Mrs.
Joseph that she )Pas wanted up stairs immedi

After the lapse of a minute or so, a soft koock
was heard at the door, and the housekeeper eu•
tered the room.
Mr Orridge looked at her, the moment she
appeared, with an interest and curiosity for which
be was hardly able to &ocean'. He judged her.
at a rough guess, to be a woman of about fifty
years of age. At the first Flamm his medical eye
detected that some of the Intricate machinery of
the nervous system had gone wrong with Mrs.
Joseph. He noted the painful working ,of the
muscles of her face, and the hectic Gash that
flew into her cheeks when she entered the room
and found a visitor there. He observed a strange
ly scared look in her eyes, and remarked that it
did not leave them when the rest of her face be
came gradually composed.' "That woman has
had some dreadful fright, &rime great grief, or
some wasting complaint," he thought to himself.
"I wonder which it is?"
"This is Mr. Orridge, the medical gentleman
who has lately settled at West Wiinten," said
Mrs. Norbury, addressing the housekeeper

dress that fitted so neatly, and hung around her
in such spare and disciplined folds. The little
mansion which she evidently felt at finding her
self the object of the doctor's attention, did not
betray her into the slightest awkwardness of
gesture or manner. If there can be such atbing

mistress next spoke to her; which governed the

on a table by her side, while she stopped to hear
the next question that was addressed t t her.
continued Mrs. Norbury, "this poor
lady was jest getting on comfortably,,,when the
nurse, who was looking after her, fells ill this
morning; and there she is now, in a' strsnge

Mrs J.iz .ph? Are there any women down in
the village, or among Mr Norbury's tenants,who
understand nursiog, and have some tact and ten

Mrs. Jateph refllcted for a little while, sod
then said, very respectfully, but very briefly al
so, and still without any appearance of interest
in her manner, that she knew of oo one whom
she could recommend.
"atn't make too sure of that, till you have
thought a hide longer," mid Mrs. Norbury. "I
have a particular interest in serving this lady,
for Mr. Orri ige told we, just before you came
in, that she is the daughter of Captain Troyer
ton, whose shipwreck---"
The instant those words were spo'ren, Mrs
Joseph turned round with a start, and looked
at the doctor. Apparently forgetting that ber
right hand was on the table, she moved it so
suddenly that it struck against a bronze statutte
of a dog paced on some writing materials. The
statutte fell to the ground, and Mrs. Jasopb
st o oped to trick it up with a cry of alarm which
seemed strangely exaggerated by comparison
•ith the trifling nature of the accident.
"Bless the woman! what is she frightened
about?" exclaimed Mrs Norbury. "The dog C
ult hurt—put it back again! This is the first
time, Mrs. Jaseph, that I ever knew you do an
awkward thing. Well, as I was saying, this
lady is the daughter of Captain Trevertos, whom
dreadful shipwreck we all read about is the pa
gore. I knew her fattier in my early days, and
on that amount I am doubly anxious to be of
service to her now. Do think again. Is there
nobody within reach who can be trusted to nurse
her?"
The doctor, still watching Mrs. Joseph with
that secret medical interest of his in her earn-,
had teen her turn so deadly pale when site start

about the room ; nod her fingers, as she clasped
her bands together, interlaced themselves me

to treat," thought the doctor, following every
nervous movement of the housekeeper ' s bead with
watchful eyes.
"Do think again" repeated Mrs. Notbu, "I
