ed in ease it became necessary to hold canton•

with pittlite resignation to Leonard's brief state ,
meat of the questions that he intended to pia to
Mrs. JIRO', and
,saidiawith the slightest possi
ble dash"of earesith when it dame to his tarn to
speak; that they were,ltzeellent questions in a

on family grounds alone, and not going further

This advice was too plainly valuable to ba
neglected. At Leonard's request, Mr. Nizon
drew out at once a fork of declaration, a f f i rming
the genuineness of the letter addressed by the
kte Mrs. Treverton, on her death bed, to her
husband since also deceased, and bearing witness
to the truth of the statements, therein contained
both as regarded the fraud practised on Captain
Treverton, and the asserted parentage of the
child Telling Mr. Frankland that be would do
well to have Mrs. Joseph's signatUre to this,doeu

Rosamond to read aloud to her husbind, and,

of it, and that he could be of no further use in

actOity, his eyes sparkled again with all their
natural brightness: one moment he clapped his
halids like a child; the next he caught up his
hat,' and entreated Rosamond to let him lead her
at once to•his niece's bedside. "If you will only
tell (iamb what you have just told me," he cried,
hurrying across the room to open the door, "you
will give her back her courage, you will raise
her up from her bed, you will cure her before the
day is out!"
A warning word from Mr.:Frankland stopped
kiln on a awd.den, and brought , him 'back, silent
and attentive, to the chair that he had left the
moment before
" Think a little of what the doctor told yon,"
said Leonard. "The sudden surprise which has
made you: so happy might do ?sited mischief to
your uiec, Before „pm take the responsibility of
speaking to her •11,t` subject which is sure to
agitate her violently,Lhowever careful we may be
in introducing it, we ought first, I think, for

Rosamond warmly seconded her husband's
suggestion, and, wit% her charseteristic impatienee
of delay, proposed that they should find out the
medical man immediately. Uncle Joseph
announced-1 little unwillingly, as it seemed--
in answer to her inquiries, that his knew the place
of the docto i r's residence, and that he was gener:
ally to be todnd at home before one o'clock in the
afternoon It was then iu.st half-oast twelve;
ra ng the bell at once to send fora cab. She war
about to leave the room to pat on her bonnet,
after giving the necessary order, when the old
man stopped ber by asking, with some swum:dm
of hesitation and confusion, if it was considered
necessary that he should go to the doctor-with
Mr. and Mrs I?rankland; adding, before the
question could be answered, that be would greit
ly prefer, if there was no objection to it on their
parts, being left to wait et the hotel to receive
any instructions they might wish to give him on
their return Leonard immediately 'oomplied
with his request, without inquiring into his rea•
sons for making it; but Rosamond's citriosity was
aroused, and she asked why he preferred remain
ing by himself at the hotel to going with them
to the doctor.
" I like him not," said the old man. "When
tie speaks about Sarah, he looks and talks as if
he thought she would never get up from her bed
again." Answering in those brief words, he
walked away uneasily to thi window, as if he
desired to say no more
The residence of the doctor was at some little
distance, but Mr and Mrs Frankland arrived
there before one o'clock, and found him at home.
He wa i n a young man, with a mild, grave face,
and a quiet, subdued manner. Daily contact
with suffering aud sorrow had perhaps premature
ly steadirti and saddened his character. Merely
introducing her husband and herself to him, as
persons who were deeply interested in his patient
at the lodging-house, Rosamond left it to Leonard
to ask the first questions relating to the condition
of her mother's health.
The doctor's answer was ominously prefaced
by a few polite words, which were evidently in •
tended to prepare his hearers for a less hopeful
report than they might have come there expect
ing to receive Carfnlly divesting the subject of
all professional technicalities, he told them that
nis patient was undoubtedly affected with serious
disease of the heart. The exact nature of this
disease he candidly acknowledged to be a matter
of doubt, which various medical men might decide
in various ways. According to the opinion which
he had himself formed from the symptoms, be
betived that the patient's malady was connected
with the artery which conveys blood directly
from the heart through the system. Having
found her singularly unwilling to answer questions
relating to the nature of her past life, be eonH
only guess that the disease was of long standing;
that it was originally produced by some great
mental shock, followed by long wearing anxiety
(of which her Ease showed palpable traces;) and
that it had been seriously aggravated by the
fatigue of a journey to London, which she aw%
knowledge(' she had undertaken at a time when
great nervous exnausuon rendered her totally
unfit to travel. Speaking according to this view
of the case, it was his painful duty to tell her
inends that any violent emotion would unquess
tionably pat her life in danger. At the same
time, if the mental uneasiness from which she
was now suffering oonld be removed, and if she
could be placed in a quiet comfortable country
home, among people who would be unremittingly
careful in keeping her composed, and in seeming
her to want for nothing, there was reason to hope
that the progress of the disease might be arrest.
ed, and that her life might be spared for some
years to come.
Rosamond's heart bounded at the picture of
the future which her fancy drew from the sugges
tions that lay hidden in the doctor's last words.
"She can command evert advantage you have
mentioned, and more, if more is required!" she
interposed, eagerly, before her husband oesld
speak again. "Oh, Sir, if rest among kind
friends is all that her poor, wean , heart wants,
thank God we osa give it:"
sae give it," said Leonard, continuing
the sentence for his wife, " if the doetor will
sanction our making a communication to his pa.
tient which is of a mature to relieve her ef all
anxiety, but which, it is necessary to add, she is
at present totally unprepared to Naive."
May I ask," said the doctor, " who is to be
intrusted with the responsibility of making the
oommunioation you mention 1"
" There are two persons who mild be intrust.
with it," answered Leonard. "One is the old
man whom you have seen by your palieut'a ha.
side ; the other is my wife.'

with many' eparatory cautions, proceeded

Uncle Joseph listened with unwavering attiW-t
tion until Rosamond had done, then rose Men
his seat, fixed his eyes intently on her face, ad
detected an expressien of anxiety and doubt in
it which he rightly interpreted as referring to
himself 'l*
" May I make you safe, before I go away, that
I shallforget nothing?"' bis asked, very earnestly.
"I have no head to intent, it is true, but Num'
something inipe that-can remember, and the
more especially when h is for Saran's sake. If
you please, listen now, and bear if I can say to
you over again all that you have said to me,"
Standing before Rosamond, with something in'
his look and manner strangely and touchingly
agoutis' of the long past days of his chbid;
hoOd, and of the time when he had said his ear
liest lessons at his mother's knee, be now repeat:
ed, from first to last, the instructions that Sea'
been given to him, with a verbal exactness, with
an easy readiness of memory, which, in a man
his age, was nothing less than astonishing.—
"Have I kept it all as I shauld?" he asked;
simply, when he had some to an end. "And may
I go illy ways now, and take my good name to
Saraii-s bedside?"
It was still naessary to detain him while Rola.
mond and her husband eon.ulted together on the
best and safest means of following up the avowal
thut the Secret was discovered by the announce
ment of their own presence iu London. After
some consideration, Leonard asked his wife to pro:
duos the document which the lawyer had drams
out that morning, and to write a few lines, frost
his dictation on the blank side of the paper, re
(panting Mrs. Jareph to read the form of (leder
elan, and to affix her signature to it if she felt
that it required her, in every particular, to arm
nothing that mu not the exact truth. When
this had been done, sad when the leaf oa whist
Mrs. Frankland h ad written had been folded out
ward, so that it might bo the first page to cat
the eye, Leonard directed that the paper should
be given to the old man, and explained to him
what he was to do with it, in these words:
" When you have broken the news about die
