Esperanoe folded up her work with a

making herself a general miasma.
" There, just hear her reading, will you,"
amid Mrs. Mortlake, handing over her

This was more easily said than done, as
Bells was in high spirits, and much more
inclined to torment good-natured Mra.

attend to her lessons. For at least half in
hour such a battle as the following went on:

"She was very inattentive and rude,"

Then, as Eaperance would have begun an

He put his arms around her holding her
• closely, deaf to all Mrs. Mortlake's greet-
ings, and only growing more and more
angry as he felt how Esperanoe was
trembling. As soon as he could truat him-
self to speak he turned upon Mra. Mortlake,
but Ohriatabel with an instinctive dread of
what was coming, tried to intercept hid'
apeeoh.
Good -morning ; yon are later than
usual to -day ; have you oome to take

Her cool, olear voice so angered him that
he dared not speak to her. He just bowed
an assent.
Christatiel fairly trembled before that
calm, dignified anger, and she never forgot
Gaspard'e look -the dear, unflinohing eyes,
the proud, gensitive mouth, and the whole
face rigid with repressed indignation. She
gave a sigh of relief when he turned away,
and led Esperanoe from the room.
When they had reached Cornelia's study,
however, Eeperanoehad recovered herself;
and, indeed, though unable to help a feeling
of relief in having Gaspard for a protector,
ehe was very sorry that he had heard one

" It was not crossness, it was downright

can't be patient for you. It is unbearable
to think of leaving you with snob people."
She stooped down and kiesed his fore-
head.
" I think it oan be borne, when we believe
that in three or four years it may perhaps
be all over."
" Three or four years 1 yes. Bat till
then?"
Esperanoe Gould not answer; she turned
away to hide her quivering lips, till Gas-

hurriedly rose and drew her toward him
once more. •

" And by the bye," he seid, suddenly,
" what did Mrs. Mortlake mean by that
reference to the burning of cendlea 2 "

Esperance, coloring. " It was only that I
need to alt np sometimes at night, and she
thought it extravagant, and was vexed."
" You sat up over my outfit? You

grudged you the candles? '
" Yes ; she puts little half-hour mulles
in my room now," said Esperanoe, laugh-
ing at Gaaperd's indignant acorn.
" I only wish she were a man, and that I
oonld have it out with her," he said,
between hie teeth. " But there, we will not

By the afternoon moat of Gaaperd'a
things were ready, and Esperanoe was mnoh
relieved at receiving from Cornelia a dia-
peneation from the oathederal eeryioe, so
that she bad time to pack for him. This
seemed to make her realize things much

Her ears were ringing with the words of
Mies Lowdell'e song:
" For men must work, and women must weep,
Gaspard did not quite understand her, but
he saw that ehe was quite worn out.
" Yon are tired, darling, and overdone,"
he said, gently. "There, come to your old
place, and be a baby once more."
He took her on his knee, and ,,made her
rest her head on hie shoulder; but the
quivering, tearless Bebe alarmed him.
" Where are your tears gone to, oherie-
you used to have no lack?"
" I am better," die faltered, still
struggling bravely to oonquer herself; and
Gaspard, relieved, did not question her
further, but began to talk of other things.
There were still many matters to be dis-
cussed, and on this last evening they both
inetinotively dwelt on old times. The olook
had fact etruolt ono when he wee otertled
by approaohing footsteps, and the door was
opened by Cornelia. She was of course
surprised to find her cousin dill up. Gas-
pard made a low -toned explanation, and
Cornelia, touched by the very unwonted
eight before her, was unusually gracious.
" One of the Mime Lo wdell turned faint,
and I came liome early with her. I am
sorry yon and Esperanoe had an interrupted
evening."
• " I am afraid she is overtired, she has
been slaving over my outfit," said Gaspard,
anxiously. " I wish I could have left her

surely she is very hot and feverish 1 I wish
I knew what was wrong with her."

ignorance.
" I know nothing about illness," she said,
bat certainly she is very hot. I think, as
you say, she has overtired herself."
Gaspard's faoe only grew moratronbled,
and Cornelia would have given worlds for
that womanly skill and wisdom which she
felt the need of eo mnoh. Their voices
were making Esperanoe reatleae, she moved
her arm e uneasily, and talked in her Bleep,
at first unintelligibly, but afterward with
terrible distinctness, though always in
French. Cornelia and Gaspard each
received some wounds from the unoonecious
tongue. Now it was in relation to Gas-
pard's journey.
" To -morrow, to -morrow 1 i How shall I
bear it ? And yet it will be good for you,
Gaspard."
Then again, with little convulsive sobe
between the words, "It ie so far away, so
very far, and I am so lonely. If only they
would love me a little "
By degrees she grew a little more quiet,
and Gaspard looked up at Cornelia, great
tears in hie eyee.
"Miss Collinson," he said, earnestly,
" she is all I have left; yon will take care
of her."
" Indeed I will," said Cornelia, with real
aympathy, and Gaapard trusted those three
words more than lie would Wive done

He turned once more to his sister, while
Cornelis watohed them sadly, yet with a
sort of envy.
At laid Esperanoe woke, wearied and

" Now, oherie, hold tight round my neok,
and you shall feel as if you were going up
the old pigeonnier at home."
Esperanoe obeyed, and was carried up
stain in his Anne, Cornelia staying to see
her safely in bed.
The next morning dawned brightly, too
brightly for poor Eeperanoe. It reminded
her of that fatal 30sh of November, when
the sun had ahone down so cruelly upon
their desolation. She was too much worn
out now to feel more than a dull, aohing
pain et her heart, ea she remembered what
day it was ; she dressed wearily and went
down lathe breakfast room, with only one
idea atrongly impreaaed on her mind -that
for Gaspard's sake she must keep up.
As it in a dream, she went through the
mind routine, walked to the cathedral,
meeting Gaspard at the door, stood, eat,
and knelt mechanically through the service,
went baok to the deanery, and talked with
Gaspard still dreamily, in Cornelia's room.
At lunoh she was pale and (iniet ; only
when in she afternoon the time for Gas-
pard's departure really oeine, and the
omnibus drove np with his luggage, a glow
of intone() color rose to her cheeks, and the
compoeure which all the morning bed been

or stand, but true to her resolution she
struggled on, talking still, though he oonld
seareelyhear her voice bemuse of& atrenge
ringing in her ears.
Gaapard wee muoh more viably agitated.
He hurried through his goodtbyea in the
drawing -room, and came out into the hall
where Esperanoe and Cornelia were wait-
ing, looking no haggard and miserable that
Cornelia's heart soiled for him.
The eight seemed to give new oonrage to
Esperanoe, she clung to him with whispered
words of hope and\ comfort, • and soft
eareeaos. He turnedfor one moment to
Cornelle.

"Yee, alwaye," replied Cornelia, earnestlyi
preening his hand.
Then, with one iong embrace, the brother
and ;deter parted, and Gaspard with bowed

people always do faint when they think it

The Misses Lowdell looked on wonder-
ingly, Bertha made pitying remarks in an
undertone to George Palgrave, Cornelia
knelt on the ground supporting Esperanoole
head, and looking at the faces around her
with angry impatience.
" Will no one do anything ? Why do you

Just then Mrs. Lowden oame down -stairs.

hands in a capable sort of way, whioh
relieved Cornelia.

asked, turning with oonfidenoe to the

and roused her 1 ally.

The deanery was all in commotion the
next day, for before long'it was known that
Esperanoe was ill,with typhoid fever. Mrs.
Mortlake wae, as neuel„eure that she could

" I do think it is very inconsiderate of
people to be 111 in other people's houses,"
she grumbled ; "just think of the expense
it will be, and there's my father being
persuaded by Mrs. Lowdell to have a
trained nurse, who will eat dreadfully,
those nurses are always regular cormor-
ants."
" Mieccleer Christabel, the money does
not oome out of your pocket," amid Cornelia,
impatiently.
" It's all very well to say so," replied
MrsMortlake. "But you know it comes
to the same thing, it will be ours some day,
and why should my poor little Bella be
defrauded of her own rights? And besides,
it's very awkward to have illness in the
house, and there's no knowing that it isn't

.
or something wrong with the drainage."
" Probably," said Cornelia, with much
coolness. " We shali have everything

The poison is generated by germs in the

Dr. Naugho took the germs with which
he experimented from the dead bodies of

feeding thorn on sterilized meat he ono-

kill the germ, but this treatment is usually

If an antidote for the poisons can be dis-

harm the patient and will destroy the
poison, then Dr. Vaughn will have confer-
red a lasting boon upon humanity. But it
is not an easy thing to do, for what will
kill a germ or poison in a test-tube will not
do it always in the body, for it -hasn't the_
same opportunity to act.
A RIVAL TO JENNER.
Professor Roberts Bartholow, ot the
Jefferson Medical College, was very out-
spoken in his praise ot Dr. Vaughn,. and
his latest discovery. He aaid: " This is
altogether new, we never knew anything
about it before. Althoughlhe existence of
the germ was known, Dr. Vaughn has just
found the poison which produces typhoid
fever and cholera infantum. It is as
though men had known what yeast was,
and had seen bread baked by the yeast
process, but had never seen the fermenta-
tion or known how the yeast aoted.
" This discovery will have a great effect
upon medical science and praotioe, and it
will undoubtedly be the means of saving
thousands of human Jives every year. I.
regard it as one of the most important
gifts to the world since Jenner discovered
the use of vaccination to prevent amallpox.
I don't think he will be long in finding
an antidote for the poison whioh he has
eliminated, and then these fearfully
devastating summer weeks will be robbed
of their terror. Typhoid fever and °bolero.
infant= can then be prevented by inocula-
tion. The germs will get in the body just
as they do now, but the poison generated
by them will leave no effect upon the
system." ,
THE POISON VC3 BE COUNTERACTED.
Dr. Joseph Hearn was much intereated
in the subject and talked very freely.
"11 Dr. Vaughn oan find an antidote for
the poison caused by the germs," he said,
" many lives will be apared. We now
know of nothing that will kill the germ
in the body of persons haying, yphoid
fever and °bolero, infantnne, with0t also
killing the patient. But it will be1aAt easier
malter to overcome the poison." ,
A TRIUMPH FOR THE STATES.
Said another gentleman probably the
ablest bacteriologist in Pennsylvania, and
a physician who is every day making prac-
tical testa with germ°, their growth and
products, bat who deeired his name with-
held : " An Italian phyeioian hie been
working on the mime line as Dr. Vaughn,
and trying to discover the same thing. The
American has oome out ahead. It is mush
harder to kill a genii than a poison. For
a long time it was supposed that the
growth of germs caused death, but now
we know that the.poison which is the out-
growth of the germ is the fatal t ing. /
think it is slightly improbable t t Dr.
Vatighn oan discover an antidotAor the
poison." ,
