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 • home with you ?' .

"Certainly, doctor, certainly,' re- plied Jackson, 'reddening, ,for haknew • something of his: reputation for gossip., " This kilo ordinary case." ,, "No, it is not , Captain Niche'. and his friends would never forgive anyone .who did not do right by them now.

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 mint be obeyed." "Look yere, doctor, ain't I a -trying ?

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.

"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 f • "'Hush 1 you must not use that word here.. Don't be discouraged. You are trying.

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 ef nit split. my blamed ole haid open She checked him by a gesture. "Wait," she 'Cried, "sit dewn."
