CHAPTER XL. -Continued.
It is her unhappy conscience that makes
that woman ill and such a coward,' she said
to herself. '1 know what I'll do. She
suffers from a disease of the heart which
may prove fatal at any moment. I'll go
stiright to see her doctor, and find how
matters really are. That chit shan't keep
me from my friend's bedside. If things are
as I am inclined to believe, and Letitia
Prettyman's life is not worth an hour's pur-
chase, I shall propose a scheme to her which
will absolutely quiet her mind, and feather
my nest comfortably. Really'I believe the
tide is turning. It only Lord Ashtead gets
the heiress, and if Letitia can be induced to
make a will in my favor, why all my diffi•
oulties will vanish like smoke.'
Yes, my dear,' she said to her daughter
Connie, who this moment entered,. 'What
is it ?'
Ethel and I, mamma, would like t� go
to evening service, have you any objeotion ?'
None whatever, take Daisy with you.
Go upstairs and tell her that I forgive her
outburst of temper. There never was such
a long-suffering mother as I am. Tell her,
Connie, that I will say nothing More about
it, and she may go to church now with you
two girls.'
CHAPTER XLI.
As soon as the girls had left the house
Mrs. Vincent got up, put on• her bonnet,
which happened to be lying on a chair
near, fastened her mantle round her broad
and ample shoulders, and going downstairs,
walked quickly in the direction of Dr.
Priestly's house. She -knew Dr. Priestly
slightly, for she had called him in once to
see Daisy when she was suffering from a
slight indisposition. She was glad, and
praised herself for her forethought in having
made the acquaintance of Miss Prettyman a
doctor, as she hurried to his house now.
She rang the bell and inquired for him.
He happened to be in. She was ehown
i to his consulting room, and in a mement
h entered and shook hands with her.
' Sit down,' he said. 'Con I do anything

better now. There is a nice girl stay'ng in
the house, and she has promised tol look
after her. I m going round to se her
again late this evening.'
'Then of co rse you must be very anxious
about her ?' qi eried Mr. Vincent.
' Well, my ear madam,- we doctors do

' She is a v ry old friend of mine,' said
Mrs. Vincent, utting on a most sympathetic
erpression. '1 have known her ever since

'There is no thoeght of favoritism, or any-
thing of that spit in the ;matter. Mies

Nevertheles , Jnmes, true to his promiee,

done simply nough. The sick lady had

In her fashion she influenced quite a large
world. She wee queen over a eonsiderabl
kingdom. She employed a certain fascin-
ation, which enabled her to get people mor
or less into her power. They hated her,
while they obeyed her --they disliked her
beyond any one dee in the world, and yet
they served her faithfully. Even Dr.
Priestly owned to a kind of power which
the woman posseseed. He said to himself,
I should not like to see mucli of her -not,
of course, that she could do me any harm -
all she could do to me would be to worry
me -into a fever, but I can fancy the effect
she would have on any one, particularly
any woman who got, so to speak, under her
thumb. I think I will see Miss Prettyman
alone.'
As these thoughts darted into his brain,
the doctor turned to Porter and Nancy
Browne, who had both been waiting on him
during his examination of the patient.
'1 want to sed Miss Prettyman alone.
Will you leave us t' he said.
They went away, and he turned to the
sick woman..
Now, Miss Prettyman,' staid the doctor,
I should like to ask you a question. I will
not deny that your health is in a critical
condition, but there is nothing to prevent
your getting very much better if you only

• I cannot'do that,' replied Miss Pretty-

Ah, she has really something on her

have thought ib? She was a pretty woman
once. She doubtless had some love affair
:which troubles her now. Have you any.
thing worrying you?' he asked her, sudden-
ly.
Miss Prettyman turned white as a sheet
at these words.
Now, now,' eaid the doctor in a soothing
voice. '1 don't want to frighten you, my
dear lady. I knew nothing about your
past. I have always held you in high re-
spect and esteem, end -I am certain you are
a very good woman.
I try to be god, doctor, but I don't
think I Succeed. !
• Oh, we none of, us come up to our ideals
-that goes without saying. Now, I want
to make a little confidence to you. Mrs.
Vincent came to see me last night, and beg-
ged me to intercede with you to grant her a
short interview. She is a very worrying,
meddlesome, disagreeable woman. I don't
mind saying this to you in confidence ; and
yesterday when you were so poorly I re-
quested Miss Browne on no account to let
her come near your sick room. Mrs. Vin-
cent assures me, however, that she can say
something to you which will set your mind
at rest. You are too weak to be agitated,
but would you like to see her ?'
I ?-perhaps it would be better.' •
She shall come to you without' a mp-
ment's delay. You ehall have one interview
with her, which is not to last more than five
minutes, and I shrill remain in the house
while she is here.'
Dr. Priestly strode across the room, open-
ed the door, and called Porter.
• Porter,' he said, ' have the goodness to
step next door, and say, with Dr. Priestlyle
compliments, that if Mrs. Vincent will
come in immediately, she shall have a short'
interview with -Miss Prettyman. Ask her
to come directly, as I shall not leave until
after she has seen my patient.'
Porter could not help opening her eyee in
astonishment at this message'the only part
of which', calculated to give her the least
comfort, was that in which the doctor an-
nounced his intention of remaining in the
house.
Now what is up ?' she kept muttering to
herself. What is that awful women sent
for, to worry poor miseus into another bad
fit.'
Porter went next door, delivered her _mes-
sage, and ten minutes later Mr8. Vincent,
with a flush on her cheek and a look of
triumph in her eye, was standing in the
ante -room which led , to Miss Prettyman's
chamber. She was a little disconcerted to
find the doet9r alone there. He came up at
once and shook hands with her gravely.
You asked me to perform a mieeion for
you,' he eaid, and the result is that you
may see Miss Prettyman for exactly live
minutes. While you are with her, I shall
remain in this room. Remember that she
is in a Critical -nay, more, in an alarming

crea ed. It beea e so ma ked towards the

expr ssed it, to o ce agai " take the hull

rootu for •a few ni ments, a d kitting down
in anl easy chair i y the vv. dow, which he
threiir wide opereto admit all the sumnier
air ossible, tied to t ink out a plan.
There had been no news of Smith. The
Prio y people, She felt ceetain, were in -a
state of consider ble alarmj; it would be im-
possi le any 1ongir to keep the news of her
son's disappeai4nce from his anxious
mother. Nancy onged to be with her own
friends in this tip1e of trou le, but she was
tY s,
thrown with MiS Prettym n and she must
not desert the pb r dying ady in this hour
of exremity. Nancy felt quite certain
that ;unless relief could b obtained, Mies
Prettyman mustl 'ie. She knew' that the
doctor thought badly of -h r case. He had
been to see her again in th middle of -the
day, and his careful exami ation was so un-
satisfactory that he talke of calling inc
second opinion in the even ng.
'No doctor cam do her a y good,' thought
Nancy. 'She lie frighte ed about some-
thing. I only :wish she ould confide in
me. I will just go and sp ak to her. She
is under the power of th t dreadful Mrs.
Vincent. - I will find -out hat is the mat er
before I am many hours o der.' So, tak ng
up her needle -work, for ancy seldom 1 -
lowed herself to be idl , and knew he
soothing effect df the appe ranee of having
something to do on a sick person, entered
the room looking calm and fresh, gOod and
,
capable.
Porter rose at her entr nee and itried to
,
suppress a yawn. The aft rnoon wee hot; a
blaze Of sunshine was pouri g into the room
from one of the large indowe. Nancy
went straight up to it, elm ged the outside
blind so that not a bit of s n could enter,
opened a window at the far hest end to ad-
mit a cool breeze, and then itting down not
too close to the lied, but so that Mlee Pret-
tyman could see:her witho t the smallest
discomfort to herself and could hear her
voice without straining er ears in the
• p
least, asked Por er to leave them.
'Go and lie d wn, Porte ,' said Nancy
'I intend to sit with Mis rettynean for
.
the next couple of hours, nd yqu look
very tired. Yo4 will be all tie better for a
nap.'
Porter was only too glad t obey. And
the sick lady, looking first t Nancy, as if
she meant to say something, s ddenlY closed
her tired eyes anti fell into i gentle doze.
She slept for nearly an hour tndoke cre-
freshed. Nancy; rang the bell, as ed the
servant to bring tea, and a ment or two
later brought e refreshin cup of this'
pleasant beverage to the ti d and thirsty
patient.
'Von must drink this,' eh aid; 'then I
will shake up your pillows a perhaps we
may be able to have a lit I talk. You
would like me to tell you a out the _farm,
would you not, and somethng about my
past life?'
Miss Prettymaaanade no reply, but she
fixed her large, 01,1e, blue e es with an eX-
pression of gre t pathos iI them on tie
young girl.
After a yery lo g pause s e said gentlY,

Nancy drew her phair a little closer. She
talked on in a Yentle, in lligent voice.
She described the happy 1omo life, the
