Their • curiosity imparted artrelish to the news. Here he had been , in possession' of the latest intelligence for at least half an hour,ha,d met the new comer with Mr. Logan and had shaken hands with him, had die-- el cussed the weather and the crop; after th usual manner of Englishmen, while flepehaw was buried in profound ignorance 1 of the acquisition it had . gained. 1 "So you have not heard the news," he repeated calmly. . ` f course not; ! -Do be quick, Garth. Who is he ?" "Ah, thkit is the question" " Hav You seenlim ? Has any one told you bout him? Will he live in Dr.Morg n's old house ? Is he married' Has he a 1ibe of children ?"

" I think We had 'better walk on nOW.:-" returned Cathy, abruptly at the mention of the name. She had started violeiitly, and had shot -a quick sidelong , glance at Mies Faith.

" Are you sure that we heard, right, Cathy? did your brother say hie name was Stewart ? ' Yes, Angus Stewart," returned Cathy, in a brisk, offhand voice ; " he c mes from Carlisle. Ah, by theby, I :- should not be surprised if he should , prove-. an old hospital friend of 3-esers, Mies Faith. ' What fun that will be. After all, the world is not so large as • one thinks it." "It is verystrange" rejoined Miss Faith, and her lips trembled_ nervously - i over her wordi. ',; The coincidence of the name and tlhe place startled me a little. I knew some one of that name in Carlisle—let me see --ten years ago." " How veryodd," returned her com- panion, with well counterfeited surprise, and looking straight before her. " Only ten years ago. Ah, then it must be the same, besides the name is so very un- common." . " Angus ? all, that is whit he used to say. He was very proud of his name. He told me once that was all of which he had to be proud. He was so poor, he meant. He was the house -surgeon and I used to -see a good deal of him. He had a mother and sister, I remember, - who lived in each a tiny house in the - town." • " Aad you have never seen him since ?" ''No," hesitating and faltering ,,• " I had to give up nureing and come back . to Cara. One loses friends soinetirnes in that way. It was hard work, of course, for I loved nier, wetk and my children; but one must do hard things sometime,s in this world," finished poor Miss Faith, with unconscious phil- osophy. CHAPTE• R 'XXVI.
