It was a charming afternoon. The nom still rode high In heaven, and cast its rays as lovingly on the earth be- neath as though Its merriest days were not long overpast. St. John striding Wong the road that would lead him to Colonel Scott's house, with his mind full of a nervous hole that there 1.e rhould meet Mrs. Vereker, was so far absorbed in his own meditations that when a dark form jumped over the wall That skirted one side of the road, he 'tarter. visibly.

Shock tufts of sandy hair stuck out on every side from under a most disreputable cap. and two 0f the blackest, most villainous eyes, look- ed hard at SI. John from beneath the wieldy eyebrows. There was character in the face no doubt; but bad character, and on the whole ho stood revealed as a most repulsive object. Two furry legs Were sticking out of his left pocket.

It was apparent to anyone king on that the two cobs in it were 'ad with fear, and end ceased to pay any heed to the admonitions of their driver, could that driver have been equal to an argument. But she ons not. The cots were well-known to 51. Johns and it needed not the &comet glance to telt hint that \hr. Vereker was the sole occupant of the phaeton. 1 Whatever had frightened the poer ) rotes they were nearly mad with rage, and tore along at an astounding pace, that left their mistress powerless. Evi- dently, the groalre had been flung eat tondo time ago; but she still held on. As the oohs In their frantic race drew rear, St. John, whose nerve was now like iron, could see that Mrs. Vereker, though white as death, still held the reins firmly. In a minute or two they would pass where he stood, with Black Sandy beside him, and he realized teat now or never was to be made the cf- fort that would (ling them on their haunches and reduce them to reason. Ile glanced at the ratan beside him and saw that he was leaning forward, c. wild look of exultation on his face. 1t was a bore ible look, and, at the time, maddened S1. John.

Ike for Dirnedale'a Experience Wt.. Catherine 11. of Russia. 111 the article on physicians' fees, winch the Youth's Cnnrpunion pubilshed not long ago, there was mention of the, fee pard to Doctor Dimsdale of London t for inoculating Catherine 1I. of Russia. The writer said that the feu of fifty thousand dollars, In addition to travel- ling expenses and a life pension, was largo for such an cast' operation. A correspondent sends the doctor's side of the story, a, it w'as related by one of his triode. 1l appears that the operation was the least of his troubles, and that Ite earned the money. Doctor Dimsdale did not want to i - oculate the empress, for he was afraid of what plight happen. Inoculation meant giving the patient the smalipox it: a ;mild form; and sometimes it kook a violent form instead, and the patient - died. If this should happen with the em- press, Doctor Dimsdale was afraid the 1 Russian authorities would hold hila re - sponsible. However, Catherine insisted, and gave the doctor a slgn.il statement that whntever happened she guaranteed hes should be held guiltless. 'then, with many misgivings, Doctor Dimsdale in- oculated her. It went badly with the empress, who - soon became very ill. As soon as sho• was delirious, Ilio suthoritlrs arrested Doctor Dimsdale, charging That he was plotting the death of the empress. They paid no regard to his paper nor to his remonstrances, and- the only point on which they seemed doubtful was whe- ther they should put hits to death at once, or wait to see what happened es the empress. Then Doctor Dimsdale tried another line of argument. "Of course" said he, "you can impri- son 111e or put me to death, but if you do you will kill the empress ns well as Elie. 1 am the only man in Russia who knows how to treat her, and unless 1 can watch her closely and do what she needs, she - will certainly die." Even Russian officials could not (ail to sen the force of thio, so the doctor was told he might see the empress whenever he thought it necessary. Meanwhile hes \vas kept 111 close confinement, end taken back and forth from Catherine's room wider guard, And all the while he knew that if lie did not save the empress death was wailing for him, too. At Last the empress began 10 recover. 'When she recovered her senses, she wee very angry at the way the doctor had been treated. She did everything she could to make it up to him. She paid hinr, besides the fee of fifty thousand dollars, ten thousand more for travel- ling expenses, made ;aim a baron, settled. 1)) annuity of twenty-five hundred dol- lars ,a1 sorts - of a � on him and promised him 1 so ( n a ( remain in 0 sod things i[ he would e n Eo g Russia and become her physician. But Doctor Dimsdale declined. Taking; charge of an empress was too anxious a matter, and he wanted to get bark to a practice among -private people. where ho would not bo in danger of sharing his patient's fate eo closely. So ho went back to England. eiset� Catherine always remembered him kindly. and Whet', a few years later, he married, she sent him a sat of beautiful china. f SENTENCE SERMONS.
