Martine nowobeyed the instinct, often
so powerful in the human 'breast as' well
as in dumb animals,. and sought the
' covert, the refuge of his own _home,
caring little whether he. was -to live or
- die. - When hesaw the lighted vindows
of Mr. Kemble's residence he moaned as
if in physical Plan. A sudden and im-
measurable longing to see, to speak with
Haat once before she was again irrevo,
• °ably committed' to Nichol, possessed
him. He even went to her g.ate to carry
but histimpujsei then curbed himself and
returned resolutely to his dwelling. As
men as his Breit was on the -porch the
door opened, and Mr. Remble gave him
-
the warm grasp of friendship. Without
a word, the two men entered the sitting;
room, sat down by the ruddy ,fire, and,
looked at each other, Martine, _with in-
tense, questioning anxiety in his haggard
face. The banker nodded gravely as he
" -Yes, she knows.' i
. • "It's as I said if would be V' Mar-
tine added huskily, after a moment or
two. .^
I
"Well, my friend, she said you would
understand her better than anyone else.
She wrote .you this note."
' Martine's hands ;trembled ' so that he
. could scarcely break the seal. He kat
-looking at the itear-blurred words some
little time, andtgrew evidently calmer,
then faltered, ' Yes, it's well to remem-
ber God at such a • time. - He has hid
heavy burdens upon me. He is respon-
sible for them, not I. ' If I break, He
also will be responsible." •
" Hobart," -said Mt. Kemble earnest-
ly, "You must not break -under this,
for our sake as well as . your own, I
have the presentiment that we shall all
need you yet, mytpoor girl perhaps most •
of all. She doesn't she can't realize it.
Now, the dead is alive again. Old girl-
ish impulses and feelings are asserting
tizeraselites. As it natural, she is deep-
ly excited, but this tidal wave of feeling
will pass, and then she will have to face
both the past and future. I knew her
•
well enough to he sure she could never
-be happy if this thing wrecked you.
And then Hobart," and 'the old man
sunk his ;dice to a whisper, " suppose--.
suppose Nicholcontinuesthe same." 4, -
66
He cannot, cried Martine almost
. desperately,: "Oh, Mr. Kemble, don't
suggest any hope for me. My heart.'
tali me there is none that there should
'
not be any. No die loved hint as I
have loved her from childhood. She is
right.- I do understand her so well that
I know what the future will be." .
"Well, said Mr. Kemble, firmly, as .
. he rose, f' she' Shan never marry him as
he is with my consent, I dont feel your
confidence about Helen's power to re-
store him. I tell you, Hobart, I'm in
lore straits. Helen is the apple of my,
eye. Sheds the -treasure of -our old age.
God knows I remember what you have
done for her and for us in the past, and
feel that we shall need you in the
future. -You're become like a son to
1 Mother and me, and you must stand by
us still, Our need will keep you up and
raily you better than all Dr. Barnes'
medicine. I know you well enough to
know that. But take the medicine all
the.same, and, above all, things, don't
• give way to anything like recklessness
• and despair. As you say, God has im-
posed the,burden. f Let Him give you
the strength to bear it, and other peo-
ple's burdens too, as you have in the
past. I must go now. Don't fail me."
• Wise old Mr. Kemble had indeed
proved the better physician. His mis-
givings, fears. and needs,•combined with
his honest affection, had checked the
cold, bitter flood of despair which had
been overwhelming Martine. The mor-
bld impression :that he would be only
another complication, and of necessity
an embarrassment to Helen and her
family, was in a measure removed.
Mere words of general condolence would
not have helped him; an appeal like
that to the exhausted soldier, and the
thought that the battle for him was not
yet over, stirred the deep springs of his
nature and slowly kindled the -purpose-
to rally and be ready. He rose ate a
little of the food, drank the wine, then
looked around the beautiful apartment
prepared for her who was toliave been
his wife. "1 have grown weak and
reckless," he said. " might to have
known her well enough—I do know her
se well as to be sure that I would cloud
her happiness if this thing destroyed

. CHAPTER XII.
" YOU MUST- BEMEMBER.11,
, Mr. and Mrs. Nichol wonderingly yet
promptly cOmplied with the request for
their presence, meantime casting, about
in their minds as to the identity of the
relative who had summoned them BQ un-
expectedly; Mr. Kernbleitarrived at the
hotel at about the same moment as they
did, and 'Jackson was-inetructed to keep
the carriage in waiting. " It wasI who,
sent for you and your wife," said the
banker. Mr. Martine, if possible,
would have given you cause for a. great
joy only, but I fear it must be tempered
with an anxiety which I.trust will nOt
he long continued," and he led the_way
into the parlor. - .• •
• "I Is it can it be about Albert?" aek-
^ed Mrs, Nichol, trembling and sinking
"Yes,Mrs. - Nichol. Try to . keep
your fortitude, for perhaps - his welfare
depends upon it."
"Oh, God be praised 1 The hope of
this never wholly left me, because they
didn't find his body." •
- "Dr. Barnett Came down at once, and
• With Mr. Kemble _tried to soothe the
strong emoUoas of : the parents, while
at the same time enlightening them as
to their son's discovery and condition.
"Well," said Mr. Nichol in strong
emphasis, "Hobart Martine is one of a

," I think he ought to have brought
:Albert right to • me first," Mrs. Nichol -
added, shaking her head -and wipi9gher
eves. "After all, a - mother's claim—"
"My dear Mrs. Nichol," interrupted
Dr. Barnes, "there was no thought of
undervaluing your claim on the part of
ouffriend Hobart. He -has taken *hat
he :believed, and what physicians led
him to believe, was the best course to
restore your son., Besides, Mr. Martine
is a very sick man. Even now he needs

not seen the giri. who was to have been
• his bride."
Wife, wife," said Mr. Nichol brok-
enly, "no Mortal man could do more
for us than Hobart Martine, God bless
him !"
• "Mrs. Nichol," began Mr. Kemble,
":my wife and Helen both uniteln the
request that you. and • your husband

perhaps you *onld rather- meet him in. -
:the
Ob, no—n6," she. cried, "1 cannot
wait. Please do not .think I am insen-
sible to all this well -meant kindness, but
a mother's heart cannot wait.- He'll'
know me—me who bore him and oarrieo
him 011 my breast." .
" Mrs. IsTiohol, you shall • see him at
Once," said the doctor.. "1 hope it; will
he asyou say, but I'm compelled to tell
you that you may be disappointed.
There's no certainty that this trouble
will pass Away at once under Anyone's
influence. You and your husband cotne
with me. Mr. Kemble, I will send
Jackson down, and so secure the privacy
Which you would kindly provide. I
will be present, for I may be needed.'"
Ireled the Way, the mother following
with the impetuosity . and abandon of
maternal love, and the father with
stronger and stranger emotions than -bis
had ever known, but restrained in a
manner natural to a quiet, reticent man.
They were about to greet one on whom
they had once centered their chief hopes
and affection,yet long mourned as dead.
It is hard to imagine the wild- tumult Of
their feelings. Not merely by words,
but chiefly by impulse,immediate action,
could they reveal how profoundly they
were moved. ^ .
With kiodly intention,: as he opened
the door of the apartment, the doctor
began,'" Mr., Jackson, please leave us a
few----"
Mrs Nichol saw her son and -rushed
upon him, ..crying, "Albert, ' lbert."
It was enough at that- moment that she
recognized him, and the thought that
heavould not recognize her was banish-
ed. With an -intuition of heart beyond
all reasoning, she felt Wit he who had
drawn his life from her must know her
and respond to nature's first _strong tie.
In surprise,: Nichol had risen then
was embarrassed to find an elderly:wo-
man sobbing on his breast, -and address-
ing him in broken, endearing words by
a nisme utterly unfamiliar, -He looked
wonderingly at his father, who stood
n - r trembling and; regarding him
thr ugh. tear -dimmed eyes, with an
aff donate interest, impressive even to
his" Ihnited perceptions. "Doctor," he
be • n over his' mother's head,." what in:

sud n you unit let loose on me two crazy

Never had folks go on so 'bout me befo'.
Beats even that o'b't Moline," and he
Showed signs of rising 'irritation,
"Albert, Albert,1 almost shrieked
Mrs. Nichol, "don'tymi know me—me,
your own mother ?"
At the half -indignant, incredulous
tone, yet more than all at the strange
-
accent and forint of this negative, the
poor woman was almost beside herself.
Merciful God 1" she oried, "this can-
not be," and she sunk into a chair sob-
bing almost hysterically.
; For reasons of his own, Dr. Barnes
did not interfere. Nature ,in powerful
• manifestations was. actuating the
parents, and he decided now that things
had gone so far, to let the entire energy
of unourbed erbotion, combined with all
the mysterious affinity of the closest
kinship, exert its influence on the clogg-
ed brain of his patient.
For a few moments Mrs. -Nibhol was
too greatly Overcome to comprehend
anythhig clearly; her husband, on the
other handy was simply wrought up to
his highest capacity for action. His
old initinotof authority -returned, and
he seized hi. . son's hand and began,

tors -wouldn't low any foolinr with me

I'm not allowing any fooling with
you," said Dr. Barnes, firmly. "1
wish you to listen to that man and w�7
man, and believe all they say. The
hospital doctors would give you 'the
sarae orders." _ 1-
." All right, then," assented Nichol,
witb, a; sort of` grimace of resignation.
"Fire swan -old man,'ans •git through

doggoned ef hit don't." , • -•
The rapid and peculiar utterance, the
seemingly unfeeling words of his eon;
stung ilae father into an ecatacy of grief
akin to auger. A man stood before
him, as clearly recognized as his , own'
image in a, mirror. The captain was
not out of his mind in any amniar sense
of the word; he remembered distinctly
what had happened for months past ; he
mint recall,. he must be made to re-
collect the vital troths of his life'on
which not only his happiness 'but that
of others depended. Although totally
ignorant of what the wisest can explain
but vaguely, Mr. 'Nichol was bent on
restoring his son by the sheer force of
will, making him remember by . telting
him what he should and must recall.
This he tiled to dowith Strong, eager
• insistence. Why, Albert," he urged,
"I'm, your tether, and that's your
n7Nthicehr.01 shook his
head
and- t
looked a
'the doctor, whoaddedgravely, "That's
all true." .
"Yes," resumed Mr. Nichol, • With
en energy and earnestness of utterance
which compelled attention. "Now
listen to reason, As I was saying, you
were wounded in the head, - and you
have forgotten what happened before
you were hurt. But you-- must remem-
ber, you must„, indeed,- or you will
break your mother's heart, and mine
too." -
But I tell yer, 1 kyant reokerleet a

hospitel,en the •Johnnies called me Yan-
kee Blank. I jqs wish folks would lent
me alone 0/1 that pint. , Hit aline
bothers me en maks me mad. How
kin I reckerlect when 1 ky:ant ?" and
he began to show signs of. strong vexa-
tion.
Dr. Barnes was 'about to interfere,
when Mrs. Nichol, who had grown
!mime; rose, took her son's hand, and
_Najd brokenly -"Albert, look me in the
face, your mother's face; and try,f, try
with all your heart and soul. and mind.
Don't you remember me ?"
• It was evident that her son , did try.
-His bray wrinkled in the perplexed.ef-
.fort, and he looked at her fixedly for
moment or more, but no magnetic cur
-rent from his mother's hand no sugges
tion of the dear features which had
bent over him in childhood and turned
toward himin love and pride through
subsequent years,found-anything in
his arrested consciousness answering to
her appeal. • - • ,4
The effort. and its failure only irritat
ed him, and hp broke out: "Now. look
yere, I be as -I be. What's .the use of
all these goins on? Doctor; if you sez
these folks are my father, and mothere,
so be it. .I'm learning sernethin'newag

'spose, than some other things. I've
get to -mind a doctor,
for, I've ' learned
that much ef I haifitnuthin' else, but I
want you uns to know that I won'tstan
no trio' foolin'. ,Doctors -don't fool me,
en they've got theipo'r tier mek a feller
- do ez they sez, but other folks is got ter
be keerful howthey tides me." -
Mrs. Nichol again sank into her chair
and wept bitterly; her husband at last
remained silent in a- sort of inward,
potent rage of grief. There was their
son,-elive and in physical health, yet
between him and them was a 'viewless
barrier which they could not break
ti,rTohuogh-strange complications,
the 'sad
thwertings of hope which much result
unless he WAS restored,_ began to loom
already _in the future. ,
Dr, Barnes now came forward and
said: "Captain Nichol, you are as you
are at this moment, but you must know
that you are not what you were ewe.
We are trying to restore you to your
old self. You'd be a great deal better
offif we succeed. You must help us all
yen can. 'You motif be patient, and
try all the time to recollect. You know
I'm not deceiving you, but Seeking to
help you. You don't like this. That
doesn't matter. • Didn't you see doctors
-do many things in hospitals which the
patients, didn't like ?"
