My Love '--- My Life.
When Doctor May left Colonel
Deere's room, after having given cer
tian orders to the comedy chambers
maid, he sought end obtained . an.
interview with the manager of the
hotel. To hies he represented Colonel
Deere's state, asking him if he'could
conscientiously guarantee his having:
the attention and quiet upon which
his life would probably depend?
Monsieur Bause answered readily
that tae season being rover, and the
hotelcomparatively empty, Colonel
Dacre could ha're as much attention
as if he were in his owe home,
'Only the maid servants now sleep
on the landing to which he` has been
moved," pursued Monsieur Bause.
"When we are full we use some 'If
those robms for bachelors; but there
is no fear of our being put to such
a necessity 'in August."
"Are you quite sure? Pardon me
foe persisting, Monsieur Bause, but,
you see, I feel Colonel Deere to: be
doubly dependent upon zee, as he ap-
pears to. have no friends to share my
responsibility. It would be a risk to
move him now, perhaps; but later
on it would be certain aeath."
"I assure you, doctor, you need not
be. anxious on your patient's account.
I will watch over him myself, and
see that all your orders are strictly
carried out."
end he looked so trustworthy, and
tapable of so much, as if he could
have managed a doses: sick-•roorns
and his betel at. the same time. Doc-
tor May could not help saying:
"If you promise me that, I am sure
it' will be' all , right."
"'You will have a nurse for the
gentleman, doctor, I presume?"
"Most certainly. 1 am going off
at once to see about one, and will.
endeavor to get her here in a few
hours. Meanwhile, the young woman
who has been waiting upon Colonel
Dacre will be able to' do 'what is
necessary, and I shall be in and out
several times."
"The gentleman is very ill, 1 sup
pose, sir?"
till ill, indeed. .1 doubt if I can
p m through; and shall call in
Doctor Forbes to consult with me,
I.'
• there is a marked improve-
ment to -morrow morning."
While this conversation was going
on below, a stealthy figure stole up -
tsars to the room Doctor May had
fist quitted, and paused at the door,
isterling. As all' was quiet within,-
he woman entered noiselessly, and
Y • up to the siek man's bed. He
^y apparently asleep; and who shall
describe the haggard, passionate face
f
the woman as she knelt beside
him, and bent down until her golden
air mingled with his tawny mus -
ache
"My darling!" she muemured at
tis ear, "I know all this is my fault;
but only get better ---only get better
—and we will give flee :vers,l the go-
y,band be happy our, own way.' 11
defy f Were your 'wife, that 1, inignt
tay by yott now! 1 am sure you
would be well at once! and oh! my
earest, I want you so badly, and 1
eve only you.
It seemed as if' these tender words
enetrated to the very heart of his
Jeep; for he stirred slightly. and mut-
red a name in. a yearning voice.
A light came .over the woman's
ace, and she smiled faintly, but.
tveetiy, as she bent lower still, until
or' lips brushed Colonel Deere's fee-
rish cheek. Then, as if scared by
hi • own boldness, she rose quickly
LC her feet, and.with one bacltward
lo • toward the bed, darted to the
tic • and disappeared, running
traight into the arms of Mary, the
lambermatd.
"What were you doing in that
coni? inquired Mary, in a tone of
it severity. "It's no use me having
y orders, and being responsible for
arryi.ng them out, if you are to tu-
rf ere."
A vivid blush mounted into the
her's beautiful face, but slie an-
wered, quite humbly:
"I wanted to see him so much.
au won't tell of me, will you?"
"Well," answered Mary uncom-
romisingly, "if the doctor asks Inc
can't lie, ' you know."
"Ile will be sure not; why should
e? And I have done no harm. Have
Yo nobody you care for very much;?"
11 was Mary's turn , to blush note.
"That's neither here nor there,"
, said. ""Your duty is your duty.

or gentleman perfectly quiet. "

Mthe pushed a ror, rei n Otto Mar's-
nd as she spoke, and the glitter of
id seemed to alter the girl's views
d feelings,. Her eyes and voice be -
le charmingly sympathetic, .
'"Ah1 I seep," she said; "you are

"Yes, miss."
"1f' he should be' hopelessly bad,.

if it should be the middle of the
night, come to Inc all the same. '1'

"1 promise -1 will' call you, miss;
but let's hope for better things," she
added encouragingly. 'He looks like
a strong gentleman, and 1 don't sup-
pose there's any call to snare ex-
PenSe."
This she said to find out Colonel
Deere's means, and Miss Mordaunt's
reply was very satisfactory
"Not the least in the world! He
is a; rich man, and there is no
reason why he should not have every-
thing in the world he wants,"
"I ani glad of that, poor gentle-
man! I'm sure I would do anything
for him whether he had money or
not, he is so kind and pleasant -
spoken; but, then, in. an hotel, they
have to be particular, and Monsieur
Bause is only manager, and is respon-
sible to the `company, you see."
"Nobody could blame him for be-
ing particular," answered Miss Mor -
daunt; "but, in this case, he has
nothing to fear."
"Oh! no, miss, I am sure he
hasn't," replied Mary, with confi-
dence. "And the.poor. gentleman
will be dole justice by, for Monsieur
Bayne a already ioeked up all his
money and rings, for fear of acci-
dents. Not that he is afraid of our
taking them," she added quickly;
"but, you see, in a `large house like
this there are so many people in and
out."
"Exactly! and it is better to be
too careful than not careful enough,"-
said Miss Mordaunt, casting a very
wistful glance toward the door of the
sick -room, as she prepared to'depart.
"You will come down' and ,tell me
what the doctor thinks about Colonel
Deere' this afternoon, Mary."
"Certainly, miss; you may quite
trust me. I shall be in and out con-
tinually, even after the nurse comes."
Miss Mordaunt went away then,
very. slowly and softly, like a person.
who has a great trouble at heart,
and, looking after her, until only the
tip of her aristocratic nose was
visible, Mary said to herself:
"I shouldn't wonder if site is a
duchess. in disguise, Anyhow, she 1'
real, born lady, and knows howt:'
behave, so - I can't,do better than
serve her; and if the poor gentlep ar.
ever gets well, and he's as fond re
her as she is of him, why, I dare se,
there •will be something coining ii: r
from both sides."
Mary did not mean to be mercer)...
ary, and had good feeling in the
main; but she going to be married as
soon as her young man could save up •
money enough to buy furniture, and
Ro every sixpence she could earn oe- I
"ame a precious acquisition.
The nurse arrived about,four
reelock, and Miss Mordaunt, who bad
teen sitting with her door, ajar all
the afternoon, examined her anxious-
ly as she- went past. She had a firm
face; but a bright and sympathetic
expression; and there was something
in her upright carriage that inspired
confidence irresistibly.

For she had sworn to :be Colonel
Dacre's widow• if she was Cover to be

ten days unconscious, and hovering
so close .on the edge of the "'valisey
of the shadow,” that sometimes they
thought he' had gone fol' good, and
could never creep baek into the Britt
again. But he tad a strong countitu-
tion, and fought every inch of the
ground resalutely,
At last Doctor. May said:

truth being that he was too mucn

There was a slight restlessness in

daunt was too thankful for .iter ae-
liverailee to take need of each a trifle.
She Grouched down in the easiest
position she could fled, and listened
with all tier ears,
"Where is nurse?" inquired Doctor
May, as he entered,
"It is nurse's time for lying down,
sir," answered Mary, in a voice that
trembled slightly as from harry or
surprise. "But if you bane any ors
dors, sit "
"I had forgotten to tell her that
I did not wish Colonel Dacre to Have

tei'day; 1 will let . her have a new
bottle in half an hour, and she is to
give him s, dose of that directly it
arrfves.t'
"'Very well, sir,"
'"Be sure you don't exalts any mis-
take; oi, stop, I'll take the other bot-
tle away with me, and then it is sure
to be all' right."
He made for the cupboard, `recon
letting that the medicine, ete., was
kept on a, shelf there, but Mary nervi-
ously interposed.
"I know which it is, sir, quite -well,
and will empty it directly, so that you
needn't trouble to take it away.
Doctor May was a man of quick
penetration, and Mary's manner
seemed to hien so suspicious that, ale -
though he would have been quite sat-
isfied with her arrangement under
ordinary circumstances, he resolved
now to investigate the matter for
himself. 4
Moving her aside, be placed his
hand on the key of the door to turn
it, when Mary, thinking she had done
all that had been expected: of her,
vanished from the scene, leaving Miss
Mordaunt to' bear the brunt of her
own imprudence, and explain things
as best she could.
Miss Mordaunt knew that detection
was inevitable, and woula :have been
equal to the position even now if she
had only been on her feet; but what
was to become of her dignity while
she crawled out of the cupboard? She
felt that it was impossible to over-
come such a disadvantage, so that
when Doctor' May threw open the
door, and, looking full into her eyes,
said softly, but imperiously: "Come
out," she gave all attention to her
ankles, and left her dignity to take
care of itself.
When she had ..lifted herself up,
and was' facing him, Doctor May look-�
ed at her with unconcealed'astonish-
ment. Although- her hair and dress.
were disordered, and: her face e+9im-
son, it was impossible to take her
for anything but a' gentlewoman, and
if he had expecte,d to find anybody it
was a slim young waiter whom he
had caught once in earnest conversa-
tion with Mary on the stairs.
A minute's silence, and then 'Miss
Mordaunt said quietly:
"I suppose'I ought to explain, un-
less—unless you have already
guessed."
I think I have," answered .Doctor
May, with a smile. "But I am sorry
you did not confide in me at once, as
I would have made it possible for you
to see hire without hiding in the cup-
board. Are you staying in this
hotel?"
"Yes," she replied, with some re-
luctance.
"What is the number of your
worn ?"
"Fifty-six,";
"And your name?"
"Is It necessary to catechize so
closely,' Doctor May?"
"4G5rei1,'the last question was super-
6uous, certainly, for I knew you die
rectly 'I saw you."
"Knew me?" she repeated, the
color; mounting once more'into her
face, and her lips trembling, "Oh!
surely not!"
"Why should you mind? Asa pro-
fessional man, I am nothing if I am
not discreet. What is more, I m-
epeet and admire a lady of position
who casts aside conventionalities, and
dares, for once, to listen to her
heart,"
"But the world would be very cruel
12it knew all."
"Perhaps. I really don't know any-
thing about your world. But need
know`alI? You can surely remain,
Miss Mordaunt, for the present,"
• "If you have recognized me, an-

tell her that the lady to whom
