In the eager and .curious Jackson he had a companion to Ina mind, who stimulated - in him *certain child-Iike vanity. _ " Hello, tsf line," he said, " yer Ma 'tine," tired O' e .I reckon, yer off so niuch.

"All right, ape:I:in-Nichol." said Dr. Barnes; quietly, -understand, trip duties, and I a e that you understand . yours._ As you say, doctors , must' be - obeyed, and I already see that you won't make me or yourself any trouble; Good night, .Hobart, I'm in charge new." . - . 66 Good -night, doctor. - Mr...JackSon - Pin sure you will -carry out Doctor - Barnes' wishes implicitly." " Yee& better, Jackson," said Nichol, i ikgiving him. a wink. "A doctor kin. give yer high le jinks ef yer not keer- ful."- , - 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 14e*" . 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 my attention more than _Captain You must realize that he was to have married Miss Kemble to -day, yet he brings beck yew son, sends .for Mr. Kemble in order that his daughter, as soon as she can realize the strangetruth, -may exert her power.

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 briog.your son at Once to our house: 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: th der does all this here mean? Me'n Ja son was chinning comfThly, when sud n you unit let loose on me two crazy old parties I never seed ner yeared on. .4 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, See he e,Alberkyonwere wound. ed in your head—" • - r, Yes, right yere," interrupted Nioh- ol, pointing WI his scar, "I know,' all 'bout that, but I don't like these goins On, ez ef 1 wuz a naohel bawn fool; en .had ter bleve all folio sea. I've been taken in too often. When I wuz with the Johnniesthey'd say ter me, 'Yankee Blank, iee that are-orttter ?

Then one day they4set me ter wobble a nigger to mek 'im white,. en all sech dome till the head doctor stopped the hull blamed nonsense. 'Spose I be a osu'rous chap. a- nachel bawn ijit. Whenfolks begin ter go on, en do en say things I kyan't see through, then I stands Cif en - sez, ‘Lenime lone. The hospital doe.' tors -wouldn't low any foolinr with me 'tall." • 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 with yer yarn so Jackson kin come back. I wish this woman wouldn't take 011 so. Hit makes me otful onctomf'ble, 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 thing Info' 1 kinder waked up in the 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 the time.

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.
