_ANNIE KILBURN.
HT WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS.
• CHAPTER X VII. —Conthined
She moved on, with her sweeping, loung-
ing pace, and Jaok Wilmington, after a
moment's hesitation, bowed to Miss North-
wick and went after her.
The girl remained apart from her friends,
m if expecting his return.
Silhouetted againat the bright windows,
Lyra waited. till Jack Wilmington reap -
peered with a shawl and laid it on her
shoulders. Then she sank into a chair.
The ybung man stood beside her talking
down upon her. Something restive and in-
sistent expressed itself in their respective
attitudes. He sat &mu at her side. -
Mies Northwick joined her friends care-
" Ah, Miss Kilburn," said Mr. Bran-
dreth's voiee in Annie's ear, "I'm glad to
find you. I've just run home with mother
—she feels the night air—and I was afraid
you would slip through our fingers before I'
got back. This little business of the refresh-
ments was antafter-thought of Mra. Mun-
ger's, and we meant it for a surprise—we
knew you'd approve of it in the form it
took." He looked round at the straggling
work -people, who represented the harmon-
ization of classes, keeping to themselves as
if they had been there alone.
"Yes," Annie was obliged to say; "it's
very pleasant." She added : "You must
all be rather hungry, Mr. Brandreth. If
the Social Union ever- gets on its feet, it
will have you to thank more than any one
"Oh, don't speak of me Miss Kilburn!
Do you know, we netted about two hundred
dollars. ,Isn't that pretty good, doctor ? "
" Very," said the doctor. " Hadn't we
better follow Mrs.. Wilmington's example,
and get up under the piazza roof? I'm
afraid you'll be the worse for the night air,
Mill Kilburn. Putney," he called to his
friend, "we're going up to the house."
".All right. I guess that's a good idea.7/,
The doctor called to the different knots
and groups, telling them to come up to the
home. Some of the work -people slipped
away through the grounds and didnot come.
The Icorthwicks and their friends moved to-
wards the house.
Mrs. Manger came down the lawn to meet i
her guests. Ah, that's right. • It's much
better in -doors. I was just coming for
you." She addressed herself more particul-
arly to the Northwicks. Coffee will be
ready in a few moments. We've met with
a little delay."
"Pro afraid we must say good -night at
once," Said Mr. .Northwick. " We had ar-
ranged to have our friends and some other
guests with us at home. And we're quite.
late now,"
Mrs. Munger 'protexted, " Take our Juliet
from us! Oh, Miss Northwiek, how can I
thank you enough? The whole play turned
upon you."
"
It's just as well," she said to Annie an
the Northwicks and their friends walked
across the lawn to the gate where they had i
carriages waiting. They'd have been
difficult to Manage, and everybody else will
feel a little more at home without them.
Poor Mr. Brandreth, I'm sure you will 1 I
did pity you so, with such a Juliet on your
hands 1"
In -doors the representatives of the lower
classes were less at ease than they were
without. Some of the ministers mingled
with them, and tried to form a bond be-
tween them and the other villagers. Mr.
Peck took no part in this work; he stood
holding his elbows with his hands and
talking with a perfunctory air'to an old lady
of his congregation.
The young ladies of South Hatboro', as
Mrs-Munger'e assistants, went about impar-
tially to high and low with trays of refresh-
ments. Annie saw Putney, where he stood
with his wife and boy, refuse coffee, and
she watched him anxiously avhen the claret=
cup came. He waved his hand over it and
said, " No ; I'll take some of thellemonade.ff
As he lifted a glass of it towards his lips he
stopped as if te put it down again, and hie
hand shook so that he spilled some of it.
Then he dashed it off, and reached for an-
other glass. "I want some more," he said,
with a laugh ; "I'm thirsty." le drank a
second glass, and then he saw a tray coming
towards Annie, where Dr. Morrell had
joined her, he came over and exchanged his
empty glass for a full one.
"Not much to brag of as lemonade," he
said„'".but first vete rum puneh." '
Look here Putney," whispered !the doc-
tor, laying his hand on his arm, " don't you
take any more of that. Give me that
glass!"
"Oh, all right 1" laughed Putney, dash-
ing it off. "You're welcome to the tum-
bler, if you want it, Doc."
Mrs. istunger's guests kept on talking and
aughing. With the coffee and the punch
there began to be a tittle more freedom.
Some prohibitionists among the working
people went away when they found that the
emonade was punch • but Mrs. Munger did
not know it, and she saw the ideal -of a
Social Union figuratively accomplished in
her own hotve. She stirred about among
her guests till she produced a fleeting,
empty good -fellowship amdng them. One
of the shoe -shop hands, with an extinguish-
able scent of leather and the character of a
droll, seconded her efforts with noisy jokes.
He proposed games and would not be
snubbed by the refusal of his boss to coun-
tenance him, he had the applause of so many
others, Mrs. Munger approved of the idea,
"Don't you think it would be great fun,
Mrs. Gerrish ?" she asked.
"Well, now, if Squire Putney would lead
.off," said the joker, looking round.
Putney could not be found, nor Dr.
Morrell.
"They're off somewhere for a smoke."
said Mrs. Munger. "Weil, that's right. I
want everybody to feel that my house is
their own to -night, and to come and go just
as they like. Do you suppose Mr. Peck is
offended ?" she asked under breath, as she
passed Annie, "He couldn't feel -has this
is the same thing ; bat I can't see him any -
here. Ile wouldn't go without taking
eave, you don't suppose ?"
Annie joined Mrs. Putney. They talked
t first with those who came to ask where
utney and the doctor were; but finally
hey withdrew into a little alcove from the
arlor, where Mrs. Munger approved of
heir being when -she discovered them; they
ust be very tired, and ought to rest on the
unge there. Her theory of the exhaustion
f those who had taken part in the play em.
raced their families.
The time vs ore on towards midnight., and
er guests got themselves away with more
r less difficulty as they attempted the for-
ality of leave-taking or not. Some of the
ands who thought this necessary found it a
rious affair; but'most of them slipped off
ithout sa.ying good -night to -Mrs. Munger
expressing that rapture with the whole
ening from beginning to end which the
dies of South Hatboro' and Old Hatboro'
ad met in a general intimacy not ap-
°ached before, and they parted with a
w of mutual esteem. The Gerrish chil-
en had dropped asleep in nooks and corn-
rs, from which Mr. Gerrish hunted them
p and put them together for departure,
hile his wife remained with Mrs. Munger, _
able to stop talking, and no longer amen.
le to the looks with- which he governed
r in public.
Lyra came down stairs, hooded and
apped for departure, with Jack Wilming-
n by. her side. Why, Ellen !" she said,
king into the little alcove from the hall.
Are you here yet? And Annie? Where

When a young
.girl steps from
girlhood into wo-
manhood, she en-
ters a new and strange
country. A land of
promise and hope, yet
full -of hidden dangers. ;Whether she will
find happiness or misery depends largely
upon the health and condition of the deli-
cate, special organism which is the source
and centre of her womanhood.
IThe lives of young *omen are often
wrecked because of a mistaken sense of
modesty, which leads thene to neglect the
earlier symptoms of feminine weakness.
These troubles unless corrected, develop
Into serious chronic difficulties which be-
come a dragging burden, ruining life's best
opportunities and blighting all possibility
of happy wifehood and motherhood.
Any woman suffering from these delicate
icomplaints needs the health -giving power
t
-of Dr. Pierce's -Favorite Prescription. It
!heals and strengthens the womanly organs;
istops weakening drains; gives vitality to
tthe nerve -centres, and restores perfect or -
'genic soundness and constitutional eneigy.
It is the only medicine devised for this„Pur-
pose by a skilled and experienced specialist
in diseases of the feminine organism.
Mrs. W. B. Dullest', of Arlington, Mo., writes.
"i have used your • Favorite Prescription' and
am never tired of sounding Its praise. When my
lady friends complain, I say 4 y don't you take
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescrip ion 21 I told an
anxious mother, whose daught r (i8 years old)
had not been right for five tn, nths, about the
medicine, and after the young lady had taken
two-thirds of a bottle of • Favorite Prescription'
she was all right. She had been treated by two
of 'our hese doctors."
Dr. Pierce's great thousand -page illus-
trated book, "The People's Common Sense
Medical Adviser " sent, paper - bound, on
receipt of 31 one -cent stamps,to pay the
cost of customs and mailing only. Or, a
handsome cloth -bound copy for so etainps.

in the world is Ralph ?" At the pleading
look with which Mrs. Putney replied, she
_exclaimed; "Oh, it's what I was afraid of!
I don't see what the woman could have been
about! But of course she didn't think of poor
Ralph. Ellen,let me take you and Winthrope
home! Dr. Merrell will be sure to bring
Ralph."
"Well," said Mrs. Putney, passively, but
without rising.
"Annie can come too. There's plenty of
room. ' Jack eau walk."
Jack Wilmington joined Lyra in urging
Annie to take his place. He eal0to hert
apart, ." Young Munger has been elling me
that Putney got at the sideboard and car-
ried off the rum. I'll stay and help look
after him."
A crazy laugh dame into the parlor from
che piazza outside, and the group in the el -
cove started forward. Putney stood at a
window, resting one arm on the bar of the
long lower sash, which was raised to its full
height, and looking ironically in upon Mrs.
Munger and her remaining guests. He was
still in his Mercutio dreedet but he had lost
his plumbed cap, and was bareheaded. A
pace or • two behind him stood Mr. Peck,
regarding the effects of this apparition upon
the company with the same dreamy, in-
drawn presence he had in the pulpit.
"Well, Mrs. Munger, I'm glad- I got
back in time to tell you how much I've en-
joyed it. Brother Peck wants me to go
-home, but I told him, not till' thank Mrs.
Munger, Brother Peck; not till I've drunk
her health in her own particular Jamica."
He put to his lips the black- bottle which
he had been holding in his right hand be-
hind him ; then he took it away, looked at
it and flung it rolling alone the piazza
flemr. "Dide't get bold of the inexhaustible
that time; never:do. But it's a good article; '
a better article than you used to sell on the '
sly, Bill Gerrish. You'll excuse my helping
myself, Mrs. Munger; I knew you'd want
to. Well, it's been a great occasion, Mrs.
Munger." He winked at the hostess. ,
"You've had your little invited supper,
after all. You're a manager, Mrs. Munger.
You've made even the wrath of Brother
Peck to praise you."
The ladies inaoluntarily shrank back as
Putney suddenly entered through the win-
dow and gained the corner of the piano at
a dash. He stayed himself againet it,
slightly swaying, and turned his flashing
eyes from one to another, as if Oestioning,
whom he would attack next.
Except for the wild look in them, which
was not so much wilder than they were in
all times of excitement, and an oaeasional
halt at a difficult word, he gave no sign of
being drunk. The liquor had as yet merely
intensified him.
Mrs. Munger had the inspiration to treat
him as one caressett a dangerous lunitic.
" I'm sure you're very kind, Mr. Putney, to
come back. Do it down !"
"Why!" de ended Putney. "Every-
body else standi g."
"That's true,') said Mrs. Munger. "I'm
sure I don't kndv why—"
"Oh, yes, yo do, hire. Munger. It's
because they want o have a good view of
a man who's made fool of himself—"
"Oh, now,Mr. utney !" said Mrs, Mun-
ger, with hospitable deprecation. "I'm
sure no one wants to do anything of the
kind." She looked round at the company
for corroboration, but no one cared to at-
tract Putney's attention by any sound or
sign.
"But I'll tell you what," said Putney,
with a savage burst, "that. a woman who
puts hell -fire before -a poor devil who can't
keep out- of it when he sees it, is better
worth looking ate
"Mr. Putney, I assure you," said Mrs.
Munger, "that it was the mildest punch 1
and I really didn't think—I didn't remern-
She turned towards Mrs. Putney with her
explanation but Putney seemed to have
forgotten her, and he turned upon Mr.
Gerrish, "How's that drunkard's grave get-
ting along that you've dug for your porter ?"
Gerrish remained prudently silent. "1
know you, Billy. You're all right. You've
got the pull on your conscience ; we all have
one way :or another. Here's Annie Kil-
burn, come back from Rome, where she
couldn't seem to fix it upewith hers to suit
her, and she's trying to get round it in Hat-
boro' With good works. Why, there isn't
any occasion for good works in Hatboro'.
I could have told you that before you came,"
be said addressing Annie directly. "What
we want is faith, and lots of it. The church
is going to pieces because we haven't got
any faith."
His hand slipped from the piano, ancWhte
dropped heavily back upon a chair that
stood. near. The ceneussion seemed to COM -
plots in his brain the transition from his
normal dispositions to their opposite, which
had already begun. "Bill Gerrish has
done more for Hatooro' than any other man
in the place. He's the only man that holds
the 'church together, because he knows the
value of faith." lie said this without a
trace of irony, glaring at Annie with fierce
defiance. "You come back here and try to
set up for a saint, in the town where William
B. Gerrish has done—has bone more to es-
tablish the dry -goods business on a metro-
ine-tro-politan basis than any other man out
of New York or Boston."
He stopped and looked round, mystified,

_ • -
as if this were not the point which he had
been aiming at.
_Lyre broke into a aplatterling laugh, and•
suddenly °hocked herself. , Putney smiled
slightly. "Pretty good, eh? Say, where •
was 1?' he &eked, sly y. Lyra hid her face
behind Annie's shoulder. "What's that
dress you got on? What's all this about
anyway? Oh yes, I kneed Romeo and
Juliet—Social Union. Well," he resumed
with a frown, "there's too mach Romeo and
Juliet, too much Social Union, in this town
already." He etopped and oncmed prepar-
ing to launch some deadly phraee at Mrs.
Wilmington, but he only said, "You're all
right, Lyra."
Mrs. Munger," said Mr. Gerrish, "we
must he going. Good -night, ma'am. Mrs.
Gerrish it's time the children were at
home."
"Of course it is," eadd Putney, watohing
the Gerrishes getting their ohildren together
He waved his hand after thein, and called
out. " William Gerrish, you're a man; I
honor you."
He laid hold of the piano and pulled him-
self to his feet, and seemed to; become aware
for the first time of elais wife, where she
stood with their boy beside her.
"What you doing here with that child at
this time of night?' he shouted at her, all
that was left of the man in hiii eyes changing
into the glare of a pitilems brute.
" Why don't you go home? You want
to show people what I did to him? You
want to publish my shame, 1 de you? Is
that it ? Look here r' ,
He began to work himself along towards
her by help of the piano. A step was heard
on the piazza without, and Dr. Morrell en-
tered through the open window.
"Come now, Putney," he said, gently,
The other men closed round them.
• Putney stopped. "What's this? Inter-
fering in family matters? Yon better go
home and look after your Own wives, if you
got any. Get out of the wa,y, 'n' you mind
your own business, Doc. Morrell. You
meddle too much." His speech was thick-
ening and breaking. "You think science
going do everything—evolution ! Talk me
about evolution ! What's evolution done
for Hatboro'? 'Volved Gerrish'e . store.
0118 day of Christianity—real Christianity
—Where's that boy? H I get hold of
him—" •
He lunged forward, and Jack Wilming-
ton and young Munger stepped before him.
Mrs. Putney had not moved, nor lost the
look of sad, passive vigilance which she had
worn since her husband reappeared.
She pushed the men aside. .
"Ralph, behave yourself! Here's Win-
throp, and we want you to take us home.
Come now 1" She passed her arm through
his and the boy took the other hand. The
action, so full of fearless custom and wonted
affection from them both, seemed with her
words to operate another total change in his
mood.
"All right; I'm going, Ellen. Got to
say good -night Mrs. Mungerrthat's all."
He managed to get to her with his wife on
his arm and his boy at. his side. t` Want
to thank you for a. pleasant evening, Mrs.
Munger—want to thank you—"
"And I want to thank yen too, Mrs.
Munger." said Mrs. Putney, with an inten-
sity of bitterness no repetition of words
could give. "It's been a pleasant evening
for me."
Putney wished to stop and explain, but
his wife pulled him away. ' !
Dr.1Morrell and .Annie followed to get
them wifely into the carriage • he went with
them, andhsvhen she came back, Mrs. Mun-
ger was saying: "1 will leave it to Mr.
Wilmington, or any one, if I'm t,� blame. It
had quite gone out of my head ,about Mr.
Putney. There was plenty of coffee,besides,
and if everything that could harm Fatima'.
ar persons had to be kept out of the way,
socie y couldn't go on. We ought to con-
sider the greatest good of the greatest num-
ber." She leeked around from one to an-
other- for support. No one said anything,
and Mrs. Munger trembled on the verge of a
collaPse, made a i1direct appeal: "Don't
you think so, Mr. Peck ?"
The minister broke his silence with reluc-
tance. "It's sometimes best to have the
effectof error unmistakable. Then we are
sure it's error."
Mrs. Munger gave a sob of relief into her
handkerchief. " Yes, that's just what I
say."
Lyra bent her face on her arm, and Jack
Wilmington put his head out of the window
where he stood.
Mr. Peck remained staring et Mrs. Mun-
ger, as if doubtful what to do. Then he
said: "You seem not to have understood
me, ma'am. I should be to blame if I left
you in doubt. You have beenf guilty of
forgetting your brother's weakness, and if
the consequence has promptly followed in
his shame, it as for you to realize it. 1
wish you a good evening."
He went out with a dignity that thrilled
Anuie. Lyra leaned towards her and said,
choking with laughter. "H's left Idella
asleep upstairs. We haven't any of us got
perfect memories, have we ?"
"Run after him !" Annie said to Jack
Wilmington, in an under tone, "and gethirn
into my carriage. I'll get the little girl.
Lyra don't speak of it."
"Never 1" said Mrs. Wilmington, with
delight. "I'm solid for Mr. Peck every
time."
XIX.
Annie made up a bed for Idella on a wide,
old-fashioned lounge in her room, and put
her away in it; swathed in a night gown
which she found among the survivals of her
own childish clothing in that old chest of
drawers. When she woke in the morning
she looked across at the little creature,with
a tender sense of possession and protection
suffusing her troubled recollections of the
night before. Idella stirred, stretched her-
self with a long sigh, and then eat up and
stared' round the strange place as if she
was still in a dream.
"Would you like to come in here With
me ?" Annie suggested from her bed.
The childtpushed back her hair with her
little hands, and after waiting to realize the
situation to the 'Milt of her small experi-
ence, she said, with a smile that showed her
pretty teeth, "Yes."
".Then co- me."
Idella tumbled out of bed, pulling up the

She lifted her face, and looked with eyes
of laughing malice into .Annie's, and Annie
pushed her face againet neck and
cried, "You're a rogue 1"
The little one screamed with laughter and
gurgled : "Oh, you tickle 1 You tickle !"
They had a childish romp, prolonged
through the details of Idella's waehins and
dressing, and Annie tried to lose, in her
frolio-with the child, the anxieties that had
beset her waking; she succeeded in confus-
ing them with -one another in one dull, in-
definite pain.
ewondered when Mr. Peck would
come for Idella, but they were still at their
belated breakfast when Mrs. Bolton came
in to say that Bolton had met the minister
on his way up, and had asked him if 'della
relght not stay the 'cteeek out with them.
"1 don't know hut he done more'n he
ought. But she e,an be with us the rest

said Annie. "I'm glad Mr. Bolton has

to ask if Idella might go up to the orchard
with him. Idella ran out of the room and
came back with her hat on, and tugging to
get into her shabby little sack. Annie help-
ed her with it, and Idella tucked her hand
into Bolton's loose, hard fist, and gave ,it a
pull towards the door.
" Well, I don't see but what she's gotn',"
he isaid.

you'd better ask her the next
time if I can go," said Annie.
"Well, why don't you ?" asked Bolton,
humoring the joke. "1 guess you'd enjoy
it -about as well as any. We're just goin
for a basket of windfalls for pies. I guess
we ain't a-goin' to be gone a great while."
Annie watched them up the lane from the
library window with a queer grudge at
heart,'Bolton .stiffly lumbering forward it
an an le of forty-five degrees,- the child
whirling and dancing at Ms side, and iow
before and now after, him.
At the sound of wheels on the gravel be-
fore the front doer, Annie turned away
with such an imperative need of its being
Dr. Morrell's buggy that it was almost an
intolerable disappointment to find Mrs.
Mungerti phaeton.
Mrs. Munger burst in upon her in an ex-
citement which somehow had an effee of
premeditation.
" Miss Kilburn, I wish to know 4hat
you think of Mr. and Mrs. Putney's bha.vier to me, and Me. Peck's, in my own
house, last night. They are friends of
yours, and I wish to know if you appros e of
it. I come to you as their friend, and I am
sure you will feel as I do that my hospital-
ity has been abused. It was an outrage for
_Mr. Putney to get intoxicated in my hose;
and for Mr. Peek to attack me as he did
before everybody, because Mr. Putney had
taken advantage of his privileges as
abominable. I am not a ` member of his
church; and even if I were, he would have
no right to speak so t. me."
Annie felt the bloocl fly to her head, and
she waited a moment to regain her cool este
"1 wonder you came to ask me, Mrs.II un -
ger, if you were so sere that I agreed ith
you. I'm bertatnly Mr. and Mrs. Putney's
friend, and so far as admiring Mr. Peck's
sincerity and goodness is concerned, I'm
his friend. But I'm obliged to say that
you're mistaken about the rest."
She folded her hands at her waist and
stood up very straight, looking firmly at
Mrs. Munger, who made a show of taking a
new grip of her senses as she sank unbi den
into vva ebh3,air.

"Why, but you must ! You must, you

looked Annie in the face with eyes
superficially expressive of indignant sar-
prise, and Annie perceived that she wished
to restore herself in her own esteem by
brow beating some one else into the eta ma -
tion of hei• innocence.
"Well, if you must know, Mrs. Munger,
I mean that you ought to have remembered
Mr. Putney's infirmity, and that it was
cruel to put temptation in his *ay. Eyery.-
body. knows that he can't. resist it, andthat
he is making such a hard fight to keep out
of it.' And then, if you press me f r an
opinion, I must say that you were notI jus-
tifiable in asking Mr. Peek to take part in a
social entertainment when he had expreitly
dropped that part of the affair."
Mrs. Munger had not pressed Anni for
an opinion on this point at all .; but, in their
interest in it they both ignored the fact,.
Mrs. M,unger tacitly admitted her position
in retorting, "He needn't have staid."
"You made him stay—you remember
how—and he couldn't have got away with-
outbeing "Andy
rude." think
he wasn't rude to scold
me before my guests ?"
"He told you the truth. He didn't wish
to say anything, but you forced him to
speak, just as you have forced me."
"Forced you? Miss Kilburd !"
Yes. I don't at all agree with Mr. eck
in many things, but he is a good man and
last night he spoke the truth. I should t be
speaking it -if I didn't tell you I thOught
BO."
-
"Very well, then," said Mrs. Munger,
rising. t After this you can't expect me to
have anything to do with the Social Union v
you couldn't wish me to, if that's your
opinion of my character."
"1 haven't expressed any opinion of 'your
character', Mrs. Munger, if you'll remem-
ber, please; and as for the Social Union, I
shall have nothing further to do with it
myself."
Annie drew herself up a little higher and
silently waited for her visitor to go.
But Mrs. Munger remained.
"1 don't believe Mrs. Putney h rself
would say what you have said," sh re-
marked, after an embarrassing moment.
"If it were really so I should be willing to
make any reparation—to acknowledge it.
Will you go with ine to Mrs. Putney's?
I have my phaeton here, and—"
"1 shouldn't ;dream of going to
Putney's with yen."
Mrs. Munger urged, with the effect of in-
vincible argument "I've been down in the
village, and I've • talked to a good many
about it—some of them hadn't heard of it
before—and I must say, Mims Kilburn, that
people generally take a very different iew
of it from what you do. They think bbat
my hospitality has been shamefully ab ed.
r. Gates said he should thiiik I ould
have Mr, Putney arrested. ButI don"tij care
bar all that. What I wish is to prop to
you that I am right; and if I can go With
you to call on Mrs. Putney, I shall not care
what anyone else says. Will you come ?"
"Certainly not,', cried Annie.
They both stood a moment, and in thit

As he entered she said : "We will let
Dr. Morrell decide. I've been asking Miss
Kilburn to go with me to Mrs. Putney's. I
think it would be a graceful and proper
thin % for me to do to express my sympathy
and Interest and to hear what Mrs. Putney
really has to say. Don't -you think I ought
to go to see her, doctor ?
The doctor laughed. "1 can't prescribe
in matters of social duty. But what -do you
want tei see Mrs. Putney for ?"
"What for? Why, doctor, on account
of ° Mr. Putney—what took place 'fast
nighVe's.? What was that ?"
" What was that? Why, hia strange be-
havior—his—his intoxication."
"Was he intoxicated! Did you think
so ?"
"Why, you were there, doctor. Didn't
you think so ?"
Annie looked at him with as much aston-
ishment as Mrs. Munger.
The doctor laughed. again. "You can't
always tell when Putney's joking; he's a
great joker. Perhaps he was hoaxing."
"Oh, doctor, do you think he could have
been ?" said Airs. Munger, with cheeped
hands._ "It would make me the happiest
woman in the world 1- I'd forgive him all
he's made me suffer. But you're joking
now, doctor ?"
" You can't tell when people are joking.
If I'm not, does it follow that I'm really in-
toxicated ?"
"Oh, but that's nonsense, Dr. Morrell.
That's mere-hevhat- you call it ?"—chop
logic. But I don't mind it. I grasp at a
i straw." Mrs. Munger grasped at a straw
of the mind, to show how. "But what do
you mean ?"
" Well, Mrs. Putney wasn't intoxieated
last night' but she's not well this mo g.
I'm afraid she couldn't see you."
"Just as you say, doctor " cried ,Mrs.
Munger, with mounting cheehulneseh "1
wish I knew just how much you meant, and
how little." She moved closer to the
doctor, and bent a look of candid fondness
upon him. "But I know you're trying to
mystify me."
She pursued him with questions which he
easily parried, smiling and laughing, At
the end she left him to Annie, with adieux
that were almost radiant. " Any-htIw I

room With a lightness of spirit whieh her

"Well ?" said Annie, to the change
which came over Morrell's face, when Mrs.
Munger was gone.
"Oh, it's a miserable business ! He must
go on now to the end of his debauch. He's
got past doing any mischief, I'm thankful
to say. But I had hoped to tide him over a
while longer, and now that fool has spoiled
everything. Well !"
Annie's heart warmed to his vexatioreand
she poetponed another emotion. "Yes, she
ie a fool. I wish you , had qualified the
term doctor."
They looked at each other solemnly, and
then laughed. "It won't do for a -physician
to wear," said Morrell. "I wish you'd give
me a cup of coffee. I've been up all night."
"With With Ralph?"

"You shall have it instantly ; that is'as
instantly as Mrs. Bolton oan kindle Up a fire
and make it." She went out to the kitchen
and gave the order with an imperiousness
which he softened in Dr. Morrell's interest
by explainining rather fully to Mrs. Bob

When she came back she wanted to talk
ously, tragically, about Putney. But
the doctor would not. lie said that it paid
to sit up with Putney, drunk or sober, and
hear him go on. He repeated some things

postponed emotion, which was of disap-

"1 know you don't. But you can say
that it wasn't Putney who hoaxed Mrs.

" Oh, you didn't either of you hoax her."
"Well, then, there's no harm done."
"I'm not so sure."
