CHAPTER XII.
"YOU MUST REMEMBER."
(Continued from last week.) -

reasonable at once when brought on
familiar ground. r
"Well, you are my patient. Imay-
have to do some disagreeable things, but
they won'thurt you. It won't be like

"Now had Yourself. . Be patient and

"Well, then, your name it Captain

you must mind them. They'll be good
to you every way." . _.
Nichol grinned acq:uiescenceand said:
"All right i dootor. ' •
"Now you show your good sense.
We'll have you sound and happy yet."
- The doctor thought a moment, and then
asked, "Mr. Nichol, I suppose that,.
after our visit to Mr. Rouble, yon -and
your wife would prefer to take your son

Dr, Barnes deecendea the stairs to the
parlour where Mr. Kemble impatiently
awaited him.

"1 will explain while on the way to

"Certainly, doctor, certainly,' re-

• Jackson acco panied them to the con-

• As soon as thetwo men were seated,

what had occurred, concluding, "1 fear

"1 agree With you emphatically.
There is n� reason for such self-sacrifice

continued Mr. IKemble. * "But .giving
that unstintedly is a Very different thing
from giving himany only child." .•
- 44 Certainly. -.1 Perhaps we need not
say very much to Miss Helen, on this
point at present. Unless he becomes
his old self she will •feel that she has
lost him more truly than if he were ac
tually dead. ,The only deeply perplex-
ing feature in the case is its uncertainty.
. He may be all right before morning, and
he may never recall a thing that hap-

The carriage (stopped, and Mr. Kem-
blehastily led the way to his dwelling.
- Helen met thein at the door. .a Oh-,

"What will you. -do ?" asked her

"See, here's his Picture," she replied,
taking it from a tWe near -f.,' the one

witU a eller. eye and a resolute face:

- "There, doctor, I •don't undervalue

will ;indeed, no matter how it all turns
out. 1 I won't abandon my drugs,either.

Mertine took the Medicine, as admin-
istered. "Now,when you feel drowsy

So she believes; or tries to. I
mercifully shook her faith a little.
•Well, she feels for you old fellow. The
belief that you understood her better
than. anyone has great sustaining
power.
". Say I won't fail her, but I entreat
that you soon let me know the result of
the meeting."
"I'll come in," assented the dector,as
_he hastily departed. Then he added
sotto voce,- "If you hear anything more
under twelve or fifteen hours I'm off -my
reckoning." „
"Re-entering the carriage, he was
driv n rapidly to the hotel. Jackson
had layed his part, and had easily in-
duce1d Nichol to. redount his hospital
experience in the presence of his parents,
who listened in.mingled wonder, grief,
:and mpotent protest,
"Captain, put on your overcoat and
hat _nd come with me," said the doctor
briskly-. "You father and mother will
go ith• us." '
•
Good -by, Jackson," said Niehol
cordially. Yer a lively cuss, en, I
hop we'll have a. chance to chili egin."
With a blending of hope and of fear,
his parentsfollowed him. The terrible
truth of his insensibility to all that he
should recognize and remember became
only the more appalling as they compre-
hended it. While Most none of its
stra geness, • they were compelled to
face and to accept it as they could not
do t first. -
Now, captain," said the doctor after
they were seatedan the carriage, "listen
carefully to me. It is necessary that
you recall what happened before you
were wounded. I tell you that you must
do it if you can, andyou -know doctors

"Look yere, doctor, ain't I a -trying ?

There, there now, doctor, I won't,

anxiously.
• Mr. Kemble met them -at the door,
and ti,ie captain.recognized him instant
ly.
Why yen's that sensible ole "1 feller
what didn't want to ask no questions,"
he exclaimed. •
, "You are right,Captain Nicholci have
no questions to ask." -
"Well, ef folks wuz all like you I'd
have a comft'ble time."
"Come with me, Captain," said the
physician, leading thewayinto the par-
lor. • Mr. Kemble silently ushered Mr.
and Mrs. 'Nichol. intothe sitting -room
on the opposite side- of the hall -and
placedthem in the care of his wife. He
then went into the back parlor in which
was Helen, now quiet as women so often
aro in . emergencies. ' Through - a slight
opening between the . sliding door she
looked, with tightly clasped hands and
parted lips, at her lover. At first she
was conscious of little else except the
overwhelming truth that before her was
one shelled believed dead. Then again
surged up with blinding force • the old
feeling which had possessed her when
she •saw him last -when he had impress-
ed his farewell kiss upon her Ho. Be -
lumbering the time for her to act was
almost at hand, she became calm, more
from the womanly instinct to help him
than from the effort of her will.
Dr. Barnes- soid to Nichol, 1' Look
around. Don't you think you have
seen this room before? 'Take your time
and try to remember."
The captain did as he was bidden, but
soon shook his head. " Hit's right
spurtyi but I. don't, reckerlect."
• -4"„Well, sit down here then .and leek
at that picture. Who is it Vt •
• " Why, hit's me, me dressed up AO
cap'n," ejaculated Nichol, delightedly. i
"Yes, that Was the way you look--
-
ed and dressed before you were wound -
•ed."
"How yer talk 1 This beats
aigthin' I ever yeared from the. John-
nies. "
".Now, Captain Nichol, you see we
are not deceiving you. - We called you
captain. There's your likeness, taken
before you were hurt and lot your
memory, and you can see for yourself
that you were a captain. You must
think -how much there is for you to try
to reteembee. Before you went to the
War, long before you got hurt, you gave
this likeness of yoerself to a young lady
that you thought a great_deal of. Can't
you „recall something about it ?"
Nichol Wriilled his scarred forehead, s
scratched his head, anti hitched uneasi-
ly in his chair, evidently making a Vain
effort to penetrate the .gloom back of
that vague awakening in the • Southern
hospital. At last he broke out in his
usualt irritation, "Naw! I kyant, doggon

captain,411 just step in the next
room. You think quietar:as you can
about the y4ing lady to whom • you
gave that pieture of yourself."
Nichol 'was immensely pleased with
his photograph, and looked at it in all
its lights. While thus gratifying a sort
of chi1db3h vanity, Helen entered 'noise-
lessly, her blue eyes doubly luminous, -'s-
from the pallor of her film, shining like -
sapphires. so intent was her gaze that
one might think it would "kindle a.soul
under the ribs of death,"
At last Nichol became conseious of her
presence, Started, exclaiming, "Why,
there she is herself:"
: "Oh, Albert, you do know me," cried
the girl, rushing towards him with out-
stretched . hand. - •
He took it unhesitatingly, saying,
with a Pleaaed- wonder, "Well, -I reckon
_Pm comp' arbunsl. Yer the young lady
I give this Picture to,?"
a I'm Helen," she breathed, with an
indescribable accent of tenderness and
gladness. . -
"Nhy"cert'ny. The doctor tole me
'bout you."
"But You remember me yourself ?"
she pleaded. " You remember what
you said to me when yen gave me thi
picture ?" and she looked into his eyes
with an expression wiiich kindled even
his dull senses.
...'' Oh shucks !"' he said slowly, "1
wish I could. . I'd like ter 'blige yer, -fer • •
yer right perty, en I am a tryin termind
the doctor." . .
r Such a sigh escaped her - that one
might think her heart and hope` were
going with it. The supreme moment of
meeting had come and gone' and he did
net know her--shOsaw andfelt in her
inmost soul that he did not. The brief
and illusive gleam into the past was
projected only from the present, result-
ing from -vhat he had been - told, not
from what he 'recalled. . .
. She withdrew herharid, turned away,
and for a moment or two her form
shook with sobs she could not ' wholly NI
stifle. He looked on, perplexed and -
troubled, then broke out; "I- jes feels ez

She checked him by a gesture.
"Wait," she 'Cried, "sit dewn." She
took a Oak ' near him and hastily'
wiped her eyes.; "Perhaps I can bell)

closely, will -you not ?"
"I be deg-oh,..I fergot,and he look-

sively."Yes; Mew, I'll do .any, thin'
