Donovan bent down and kissed the once beautiful face with a sort of reverence which nein was supien;ely happy, went uut fishing every day, and partly from his love to Donovan and his desire to do hint credit, partly from his awe of a "parson out of the pulpit," really managed to keep sober through the whole of their stay, in Wales. But perhaps no "one 4ot quite so much from the Welsh holiday as Donovan himself. He went b.ck to work with both body and mind invigorated, having learned more in that month's inter- course with (.'hat les Osmond than he would have learned in years of solitary life. 'There now remained only a few months of his medical course. Then "the world was alt before him." Ile had not as yet formed any plans; but as the autumn advanced public events pointed the way for him and he found his vocation. CHAPTER XX XVIII. DUTY'S ('ALL..

England was just at this time en- gaged in a contest of which Donovan very strongly disapproved; but per- haps his political views only in- creased the desire which had arisen within him to go out as assistant surgeon to the scat of war. The belief that many hundreds of Eng- lishmen were being sacrificed in an njust cause could not fail to rouse - ooh a lover of justice, and he lost no time in making arrangements with an ambulance society which was sending out help, and was in want of a„sistants. Charles Os- mond, on the whole, approved of his choice, ,hough regretting very much that be should for some time lose ( be useless as a nurse, and her tier - he had never felt before. 'How did you get leave to come to me?' be asked. Then Mrs Farrant's tears began to flow. Oh ! the most terrible thing has happened,' she said, vainly trying to check her sobs. 'Ellis, your cousin, has been unwell for some days, and this morning the doctor declares that he has small pox, and, if you will helieve it, I have actu- ally been in his room the whole time! They said 1 had bettor Leave for Oakdene; but I am so unnerved, so shaken, 1 thought I should like to see you and tell you.

It waS the same selfish nature, the same incapability of, thinking t't' the well Imo,, of others, which had caused Donovan so much pain all through his life.

'Then you mean to go to Oak- dene, and leave your husband?' the asked, with a aevority in his voice which he could not disguise. 'Don't be hard on me,' she sob- bed. '1 have such a horror of this: If it were fever I would have stay- ed—but small pox? No, no, it is impossible; I must go—I must, in- deed. .Besides, I am not strong The enough t 0 nurse bin). gn . rile doctor will send a trained nurse. Indeed, you must not urge me to go back, Donovan; it would kill me.' Her agony of distress made him reproach himself for having spoken s ' strongly; he paced the room in �'.1ence. It was unnatural of her , • leave her husband; but yet there w'„ truth in het words—she would sight of him but he felt that the life of action 'would be quite in Donovan's line, and that the entire change of scene would bo'good for him. Brian would have been only too glad to juin biro, but his work was all 1t1:y cut out for him in Lon- don, whole he was to take the place of junior partner to an uncle of his who had a large practice in the Bloomsbury district. It so chanced that Stephen Caus• ton, who bad been hindered both by illness and idleness; wont in for his final examination at the same time. All three passed successfully. The autumn had been a very busy one; I et Donovan was well and in good spirits, eager to°begin his fresh life, and too much engrossed with the present and future to let the past weigh upon him. Mill, as one January day he went in to St. Thomas' to take leave of Treyethan, not even his strong will could pre- vent a very few sad thoughts arising as he spoke of Porthkerran and the Tremains. Trevothan's recovery had been very slow, but he was now really we14 and it had been arranged that he should -go down to Porth- Itoi:ran with his little girl, the fol- Iiiwing week. His illness, and the kindness he had met, had softened him very much, and, though his manner was still brusque im-the extreme, no one who really knew the man could have doubted his gratitude. In his odd fashion he half worshipped Donovan, and it was really from his desire to please him that he had overcome his shame and reluctance, and written to ask his father to receive him again.— The blacksmith's intense happiness was so evident from the ill spelled but warmly expressed reply, that Trevethan the younger began to feel drawn to him, and to look for- ward to his return with less appre- hension and more eagerness. Having left him directions as to fetching Mlle Gladys from the Os- monds, Donovan took leave of him and went home to make his final preparations, a trifle saddened by the conversation. But after all, ho reasoned with himself, he had more cause for rejoicing, for he had cer- tainly been of use to one of the Porthkerran vi'lagers, and Gladys would be heartily pleased to hear old Trevethan's good news. To have helped even indirectly to please ber was Fomething to Le thankful for; Lesides, had he not renounced the thought of personal happiness as such? had bo not epos- n the way of sacrifice and willed to find his happiness in serving bis fellow ,nen) And then once more he returned w ith all his former ( Sgt )rer1 to the a`iticipation of his ')ming work -.work e hich bid fair to cyll out all his f.tculties, and which node his ,ails' I beat quicker Ch4idron Cry for veins terror would very likely rend- er her liable to infection. Besides, what right had he to judge her? He could not trust himself to dis- cuss the right and wrong of the question: lie felt that he must leave it to her own conscience, and when he spoke it was merely CO ask de- tails of Ellis's state, and the doctor's Opinion of it. 'You had better rest here for a little time,' he said, when she had answered his questions in her 'un- satisfactory way. 'It must have been a great shock to you:' IIe spoke in a very different tom: now, and Mrs Farrant, feeling all the comfort of having a stronger will to repose upon, allowed herself to be made comfortable on the sofa, and lay silently watching her son's movements with a sort of interested curiosity,liko a placid patient watch- ing the preparations of a dentist, or a sleepy child following with its eyes the nurse as she sets the room in order for the night. Her son was very much altered; he stili set about everything in the same quiet methodical way, but his angles had been rounded off, and the bitter cynicism which had always alarmed and repulsed her seemed quite gone. He had taken paper and ink, and was writing hurriedly; presently he pushed his chair back from the table, and, folding the written sheet, came toward her. 'i am just going to the hospital, and then to the telegraph office with this,' he said: 'I have ordered Mrs Doery to have everything ready for you. Presently I think you must let me vaccinate you. It is some- thing new to have a doctor in the family, isn't it? 'I am only shocked that you should have been driven to it,' sighed Mrs Farrant. 'You should have gone into the army. You have grown so like your father, Donovan.' He bent down once more and kissed her. Then, promising she should not be disturbed, he hurried away with the telegram. `So like your father!' The words rang in his ears, but never had he felt further frons any likeness to the noble, calm, self governed man whose image stood out so clearly in his memory, the three days' inter- course with the pure mind having left a deeper impress than months and .• ars of intercourto with those of lower 13 l e. But just now his mind was in a seething chaos, his whole world shaken, whether by conflicting duties or conflicting pas- sions ho hardly knew, only he feared it was the latter, flapidly walking along the crowded streets he triad to fight the battle out. mechanically taking off his halt to an acquaintance. mechanically going through his business as people m''st do when Pitcher's Castoriia. his fate? Donovan would suddenly have changed natures, if the justice of the thing had not struck him.— Was it not perfectly satisfactory ? Here was Nemesis at last— his foe would be justly punished. And then, being exceedingly human, be drew one of those fascinating little mind pictures which, if delineated by men .are certainly engraved by the devil. In this picture self, the hero, went out to the war, won unheard-ot honors, received honor- able wounds, and then was greeted with the news that his enemy had perished miserably in a luxurious house which he had no right to be in. 'So like your father !' with the, sharpest satire the words again rang in his ears. God be thanked that the devil's alluring pictures can not stand side by side with the image of a true, noble, whole hearted man. (rod be thanked that the ideal man has lightened the world's darkness. Donovan's struggle was by no rueans over by the time he returned to his mother; it raged all the time that he was attending to her, all the time that he talked quite common- places, brought her .tea and toast and all that the house would afford, soothed icer nervous terrors as to infection, and quoted small pox statistics. 'Could von not collie down with ale to Oakdene?' said Mrs Farrant, suddenly, 'You say your course is over; why nut cove with me now?' 11 e knew then that the suprbme. moment had come. 'I will sou you saf':ly i1tt0 the train,' he said; 'blit 1 cannot corue to Oakdone.' '\Vhy not?' urged _\1rs Warrant. '!'here was a minute's silence,then, as quietly as if be had been speak- ing of an afternoon stroll, Donovan replied 'Because I am going ,round to Connaught Square presently.' Mrs Farrant stared .at him,— Perhaps lie hardly felt inclined just then for inquiry or argument; mut- taring some excuse, he left the room, drew a long breath, and walked slowly upstairs. In his bedroo 0 were all the pre- parations for the coming journey— travelling gear, books, instrumonts. Ire felt a sharp pang as he realized that all his plans were changed— perhaps there was even a slight fear lest his resolution should be shaken, for he began to toss some clothes into a portmanteau in a hurried and unmethodical way quite un- natural to him. But he quieted down as he took Dot's miniature from its place. For a minute he looked at it intently, and afterward there was no more haste in his manner. 1\Irs Farrant could- not resist questioning him when he came counts, Brian hurried in with an perfect Coldness with the forgiveness open, letter in kis hand. which Charles Osmond had spoken 'Just look here!' he exclaimed, of.

'I have conte to stay with yeti,' said Donovan, touched by the re- ference to the past, to the school days when his father and Ellis had been the greatest of friends. 'I shall stay and nurse you through this; no one shall hurt you.' After the promise had been re- peated again and again Ellis grew more quiet. 'There is one other thing,' he be• gan, incoherently.
