"Miss COsie .I must go. home.now ; Cara will be loaing for me," exclaimed Faith, rising harriedly. There 1 was a misty look inethe soft blue eyes, nd the color had returned to her face, , "May I take the right Of anoI4 friend and come and see yen and yourl sisters tomorrow ?" asked Dr. Stewart i as he held her hand. "May I come and talk VI this Carte, of whom I have heard so Much V', Yes; we shall be very gla ," she replied, almost inaudibly, and then he let her go: - He left Miss Cosie after th t, and Went back to the little groap gathered ' r and the window; but e change had c me over them; they seemed talking A riously. "Miss Catharine, are you in e' nest?" vtkice. e pushed his spectacl s up to Mr. Logan was saying in an filer dulous H his forehead, and the keen, near bighted .e es seemed to probe the gias Aoul as h4 spoke. Cathy winced, but she maintaieed her dand unflinchingly.. 'Ask Garth and Langley whit they ' t • ink On the subject." = "She is leading us a sad Iife about if," re tuned Garth.; tilting his chair that he m -ht have a better view of aeenie. Somehow the combination of tIie dark dr ss and roses took his fancy4 Miss , M rriott was certainly very pr tty. to- ni ht ; even Dr. Stewart seemed to find a erten' witchery in the dark 4yes, at le st Garth thought so, which put him a tr. ed out of hamor. He had been so lo g without a rival in Hepshaw that th introduction of this sudden new ele- mal t of. manhood was likely to disturb hi equanimity. "Langley say e there ar no valid Objections, so I suppose we six- 1 have to let her go." "Lt us ask Dr.- Stewart what he thi ks of it," put in.Langley, and, to her sis r's relief, she quietly turned to hine, ani gave a brief sketch of Cathy% plan,, to hich he listened with ready interest, asemg a question here and there in a - ski fu -1, prefessional- manner. When he wa in possessipn of all ithe facts, he t 4edtoCathie . 1 - • I don't see' why it should not an sw r,. at least- you might give it a trial. I hi e your idea of every woman1 being tra et to a definite employment ; I ne r could understand the. enforced heilessness of the sex. I,_have-known Nit able examples Of woMen being left e endent on overtaxed ! brothers, or tu ed upon the world absolutely; with- out resources." . " Your rule holds good with generali- ties but in Miss Catherine's case-----" be- gan Mr. Logan, .but Cathy , sorriewhat. pro dly interrupted him. " It it be Miss Catherine's wish to be ind pendent and . hold her own against the orld, no one has a right to I inter- fere No," speaking with sparkling eye and a certain storminess of manner, "1 " not one of these wornen who could bea tobecramped and swathed with the swa .diing-clothes of conventionality; I demy right to work for work's sake, _and to be as free as,any other of God's ere tares." .' Yon are quite right, Miss Clayton. I a - mire your sentiments," obsere ed Dr, Ste art. " Hear ! hear!" from Garth,' some- wh t sarmatically. Ile did not wholly app ave of his wilful little sisteee plan. less me, child, you are hardly more eighteen, ycu seem in a vast hurry ake yourself independent ()I your her ; no one -wants to get rid cd you, C a tha to bro you little monkey." . C thy melted a Utile at that. She gav him an affectionate glance. " ,All the same you will be wan ing to get rid of me one of these days," she re tu ed, meaningly, and Garth redden- ed. "Bides, I don't mean te leave ho e for good and all; I want tolgo up to owlet" and learn nursing iiI all its bra ehes, and then I shall know if I am fit r it. A fair trial is all. 1 aele; and if Garth consents, no one has e right to rais an objection," in one injured, ap- pea ing voice. "You have chosen a noble 'profession," begen Dr. Stewart, warmly, hilt Mr. Logan quietly interrupted him. " Granted, my dear sir, provicid the motives are equally noble." , "Now, Cathy, you are going td catch it from your Mentor,',' observ d her brother -sin an aril used tone. " Mr.Logan has discovered -a flaw in your grand scheme." . " I suppose one can discover flaws in everything," returned the vicar, 1 in a musing tone. " Youth is the tinie for great projects ; sometimes they are an - name for restlessness and discon- tent Yonth lights a candle,—a farthing sometimes, --and sets) - out through the world to look for duties, and leaves the hearth -stone COM, and old hearts growing chill around it. I have an old-fashioned notion that womau's missi4a, in its perfectness, very 'rarely lies beyond the threshold of home" "How about Florence Nightin ale ?" interrupted Cathy, • " Sarah n Judso?" from Laagiey. " Or Mrs. Fry? or Joan of Are ?" commented Dr. Stewart. " Or we might add Grace Darling, and a ecoreof otheep," put in Garth. . "All typical women, raised ep in e their generation to perfoim a certain` work, and performing it ,right nobly. I The world calls them heroines, and with reason. They are heroines in the true sense of the word, for they have looked out at the needs of the world, and, re- cognizing their owe power to re nedy, have fearlessly dared to cross the hres- '1"ohl of home duty for the larger rena, : where only the stropg prevail a d the ; weak go to the wall." Cathy does not preteud to 1 be a Florence Nightingale,' pat in Laiigley, quietly. 1 "I thought you always told; as to ele- vate our standard?" a little defiantly* , from Cathy. "The higher the better," with a be- nign glance at her, " butit must be a true standard, unselfishness and self- sacrifice for its base, and beilt up of pure motives. If it be one-sided it will topple over." "Ah 1' I can't read parables," rather 'crossly. "Are you sure that 7-ou are really trying to read mine? • You remind me of some little ehild, MiS8 Catherine; gatherine shells by the sea shore, and throwing all the pearls away. if you look far enough into'- the meanings Of things you will perctie•e their value. About your plan, now ?" : "I will not hear a word. against it," she returned, wilfully, and going over to elliaa edge. " It is bad enough to have 1 to ...argue . with all one's home people, but to be lectured in public, and befor Dr..SteeVart,-a o, indeed, Mr. Logan.. " Very Well, I will 'reserve what .1. have to say in private,' he returned', looking •after her With -a sort of indul gent tenderneee, as though she were th little child to whom he. had compare her, and • Queenie, who was near him saw a . certain Vivid ..btighteess in hi eyes- as he watelred her.

The face under the dose little Quaker bonnet looked older and more worn than it hadlast night. i" How do you do, Miss Faith We can see- each other more clearly than we could last evening. Well, we have neither ed us 'grown younger." And Dr. Stewart scrutinized his pale companion' with the utenOst composure. • Faith gl kneed at him rather timidly ; his manner troubled her; it was more brusque, a little rougher, thantit used -to be. The shy young doctor had seen the world, since then. Dr. Stewart certainly looked a little different this afternoon.' He was much older and stouter than she had thought him yesterday, his whiskers were iron -gray, and his face had a brown, weather-beaten aspect, and the lines round_ the meat were a trifle hard and sarcastic. She could see him more clearly than in Miss Cosie's dim room. "You find me changed. too, I dare say," he continued, abruptly, reading her thoughts more shrewdly than of old. "You see I have knocked about the world for the last seven or eight years, and that makes a Man old before his time." " I don't think you look particularly old, Dr. Stewart.' "Well, forty is not exactly patriar- chal," somewhat sarcastically. " On the whole, I think I am rather proud of my gray hairs; they make ine more im- portant. You ought to have kept young- er, Miss Faith,leading this quiet pastoral life of yours; yea have not had all the hard hits and thumpsIthat fate has dealt me. .k " think inaction is s metimes more • trying," she answered f intly, for this absence of . sympathy fre ted her; and , justthen they met Cath walking down the road with free an( easy gait, and I carrying a basket of po pies and wild flowers. , She nodded to hem hurriedly and passed on.

It was one of Cara's ad days; she might not receive him raciously ; and - then what would Dr. St wart think of their humble little housel old?. She was , absent and nervous all t e rest of the way. . No wonder he fou d her changed. "Cara, Dr. Stdwart h .s come to see you," -she said, in a dep ecating ;voice, as though she were co nmitting some solecism. Miss Hope put down, h r book with .a start,. and Mies Cheri y looked . up sharply from her knit ing. ":Whom did you say, Faith ?" ie an inflexible voice. "An old hospital frien 1 of her's, one of ten years standing," observed- Dr. Stewart, throwing him elf into the • breach with military pro ptness. Ile a moment he recognized th position; his shrewd, observant eine took in the little • parlor and the o cupants in a trice.

Dr. ,Stewar 'S masculine breadth . and freedom of movement seemed to fill up the littl room. 14 "Dr.Stewart ; • have vie ever beard of him,' sister ?"asked Miss Charity, alittle sarcastically, and appealing te Miss Hope.

Miss •Charrify's Cool reception did not daunt - him in the least: He ,Placed, .himself leisurely by the side of theelittle *are . conch, and ,eyed its occupant curiously ; he turned over the books that were piled on the 'narrow table beside' her, and read their titles one after 'ano.ther, and then. he began. to talk. How he talked ! Faith's downcast face brightened; - after a time she became less nervOus, Dr. Stewart did not address himself to her; he seeined to ignore her existence :com- pletely.

He wallowed -up Miss Charity's little modi- um of information in a moment,at4i, left her high and _dry, with all her long sen- tences unsaid. Miss Hope gasped and "There, noii, would you have be- lieved it ?" to the stock of choice .anee- dotes with which he regaled them. Never were four maideieladies so well entertained On a summer's eftertiden. Even Mies Prudence, the most rigid of housekeepers, Counted over her_ scanty store of preserves mentally, mid decided to ask him' to tea. Faith almost- held her breath for the next. moment e but. Dr. Stewart accepted the .invitation with alacrity; While the tea was brewing; Miss Prudence hunted oute remnant of , rich cake, he drew his chair a little dos- ! er to Miss Charity, and questioned her somewhat minutely on the subject of her accident.

"Oh, Cara! please don't speak so," whispered poor Faith, with tears in her eyes. • , It -was Dr. Stewart who said "Humph !" now. He glanced curiously at the two women before him. Faith was considered quite a girl still by her sisters.
