Tilhile the acquaintance between Mr. Tregonnell and .Hester Rushton thus ripened gradually into a very close friendship„ Dr. Carrick was too busily occupied by his daily round of Profes- sional work to be aware of the c•hatige. He was away from home all day. When he saw his cousin and. his Patient 1 in the evening he perceived no more than that they got on very well togeth- er. This was as it should be.
