on th girl's' arm, as though to steady
herself. nere was -net a tinge of color
. in Miss Faith'sfair face; her breath
came and went unevenly; she spoke in
little gasps. " 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

:- 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

Miss Faith, with unconscious phil-
osophy.

THE NEW DOCTOR.

—Cowper.
' I wonder how women of thirty-five
feel under these ciremnstances, thought
-Cathy, she followed the others up
the na taw dark staircase leading to
Miss "C sie's neat sanctum. "I should.

It is ve . odd, but it is amusing ieo,"
she - do ued with a certain_ girlish
curiosi i at the elderly romance that
was lin riding before her eyes. After
all, it as not without - Its pathos.
" Perh s be will not recognize her 1

Jacob, w threadbarethey have worn

Cath mused on in her rambling fash-
ion. ow and then she and Que ene
.exthan r d glances full of meaning. '
• "Is can it really be he ? whispered
Queen as she tied and untied Cathy's
velvet.
" No a doubt - of . it," replied the
other. ` Hush, we shall heax more by •
and by."e
•
Miss aith -looked at them' both m
soft d zed eyes. She had no i
that th:y were:talking of her. "An
Stesvar 1 there cannot be two of t

smooth d out her ruffles with trembl
hands, Ind tried to 'adjust her pearl

I shall ee him, and if he will know inc
, again." j But here Mee ,Cosie rushed
upon them with a small ' whirlwind of
interjectionA and extlamations.
"Oh,:my dears, there, there, eyou
look. as1 fresh as rosebnds.. What do
you th' k ? The most wonderful thiing
has happened. Just fancy Christopher
taking it into his -head to bring him

"To ring whom, dear Miss Miss Cosie ?"
asked 0 thy quickly, for Miss Faith's
color wais varying dangerously. 1
" Mr. Mac'Iver, or what's his

The new doctor, I mean. - And there
they are talking- as comfortably

"If Ir.Stewart is here we had better

colored gwri a,nd soft Shetland shawl.
