The doctor, chafed and annoyed
es hca was. could not help laughing;
Sweepstek. a niiwioding hint in a
senseless titter, and old Rouge him-
selfjoining heal tily.
"Clever bird; isn't he? Brought
Mtn from West Africa years ago.
Would stake my life he's the best
talker in England." Then, looking
keenly at the doctor, be said, hes-
itatingly: "You are not a detect-
ive, are yen?"
The doctor beeped, and told him
his name and profession.
"Oh ! that's a comfort," said
Rouge, heaving a sigh of relief.
"Now we can talk freely. To tell
you the truth, 1 thought you were
tackling my son, who is just off to
America. Boat sails this very day;
in fact, Donovan's now gone to see
him off, I doubt if he'll be home
till evening."
"Why, you told me half an hour
just now," said the doctor, impa -
tiently.
"When I took yon for a detec-
tive," said Rouge, with a sly smile.
The doctor Was so much vexed
that he fairly lost his temper.
"I don't know who you may be!"
he exclaimed, "but I must sav I
am surprised to find Donovan Far -
rant living with people wbo are in
terror of a detective's visit, Have
the goodness to tell me at what
time you do expect him to return."
Poor Rouge was so much fluster-
ed by the doctor's hasty speech that
he was quite incapable of giving a
plain and aatisfectory answer.
"I wouldn't for the world bricg
discredit on the lad," he faltered,
the ever ready tears slowly trickling
down his wrinkled cheeks. "I am
as fond of the lad as if he were my
own son,,- and iit's•.a son -he'll be row•
me now that my own sins left Iiia
native land." Here he began to
sob like a child, but still struggled
to make himself' heard. "I am not
such a fool as I look—time was
when I was captain of the 'Metora'
—I was driven to it"—he pointed
to the brandy bottle—"I was di iv -
en to it—and it's made me what I
am!"
"Will you tell me when Mr
Arrant will he home?" said the
exasperated doctor.
"Toward evening," faltered the
old captain; "but I couldn't say for
certain. Perhaps you'll leave a
mersagel"
"I will come in again later on,"
said the doctor, and he hastily took
up his hat and left the room, quite
out of patience with the tearful old
captain.
It was a miserable afternoon, cold
and foggy; a fine drizzling rain fell
continuously. The:doctor felt very
wretched; he bad hoped to gain
some fresh light by a conversation
with Donovan, but his interview
with Rouge Frewin had only per-
plexed and disheartened him. How
was it that Donovan had taken up
again with his old companions?
How could he endure to have such
a maudlin old wretch as a fellow
lodger? Things certainly looked
darker and darker!
Evening came, De Tremain went
back to York Road, still Donovan
had not returned, and By this time
the old captain had solaced his
grief so frequently and effectively
that he was by no means sober. A
wretched hour of waiting followed.
The doctor looked at his watch at
least twenty times; the minutes
were passing rapidly by, and at the
end of the hour he knew he must
love°ihe house to catch the last
querable shriuk'ing from the in-
evitable pain which was before him.
If be could but win through with
it. If he cpuld but do;tbe difficult
Eight and there floated through his
mind the definition of Itight which
both he and the doctor held—that
which beings the greatest happi-
cess to the greatest number of
people for the greatest length of
time. He honestly thought that
his silence would be right, and
clung desperately to the one
strengthening thought of the gain
to others which this five minutes
might bring. It was the generous
mistake of a utilitarian. The
doctor's voice. broke in upon his
mental strug&e. He set his face
like a flint and listened.
"1 wanted sone explanation of
all this, Donovan, and I hat: hoped
tor plenty of time with you; we are
limited now to a very few minutes.
I must say that all I have seen of
your way of life both to -day and
yesterday bas surprised and grieved
me. I come to your rooms and
find a disreputable old man in
dread of a detectiye's visit, and not
too sober. He tells me he is an old
friend of yours. I thought you
made up your mind to break with
such friends as those?"
"There wete special reasons why
Captain Frewin should be an ex-
ception to that rule," said Donovan
in a voice so well reined in from
yielding to any sign that it sound-
ed cold and indifferent.
"There are always special reasons
I suppose, for backsliding!" said the
doctor, hastily.
There was a silence, then De
Tremain went ort-, more quietly:
"That is, of course, your own
concern; but, as to your relationsth
with Stephen. I have some right to
ask. ,..His father is my oldest friend.
IIe will hold rue responsible for
-hewrig- al -le wed - 'sr ou-=to ibare.
rooms. Stephen has himself'told
me that he fell into habits of gatnb•
ling. I am not surprised—he is
grievously weak. But be tells me
that you were with hint, and that
explains everything far too easily.
You are strong willed enough to
lead him as you please. Only I
could not have believed it of you.
1 neverwould have believed it if I
hadn't met you with him at Z—."
Donovan breathed hard, but did
not speak.
"Have you nothing to say?" said
the doctor, in the tone of one cling-
ing to a forlorn hope. "Can you
not tell me that I am at least in
part mistaken ? Can you not ex-
plain anything to me ?''
He looked steadily at Mw as he
spoke; thinking perhaps of Glady's
words: "You will believe in him
when you see him." But Dono-
van's . face was dark and cold and
hard looking now. The doctor bad
never seen such a look on his face
before; he misinterpreted it entirely.
But his yery grief made him speak
gently and pleadingly.
"God forgive ale, Donovan, if I
have been harsh with you; but jus'
let me know from your own lips
that you can not explain things—
can not free yourself from blame.
Gladys told ale what you said to
her; but could not rest till I bad
heard the truth from yourself."
"I have nothing mote to say,"
said Donovan, clinching his hands
so fiercely that even then the feel-
ing of bodily pain came as a relief
to him. ` "I can explain nothing.
It would have been better if you
had not come to see me."
"Ay, better indeed !" said the
doctor, with bitterness, "for then I
should at least have had some hope
that I was mistaken. The only
thing is that Stephen is in part ex-
cused, if, as he says, you did go
with him, did lead him wrong. Ona
more question let me ask you; I do
not wish to play the inquisitor, but
just tell me whether this was the
reason yeti would not come to us in
the summer?"
For the first time the burning
color rose in Donovan's face. How
could he answer that question? They
hadjust entered the crowded sta-
tion; there under the flaring gas -
lamps, amid the noisy traffic his
reply must be made—somehow.
What if he told the -doctor his
real reason, told him that he loved
Gladys? He hated mysteries; ib
would be infinitely° easier to be
perfectly, open. Besides, the con-
fession would explain so much,
would at once bring him into his
old place with Dr Tremain. And
yet, taking all things into account;
it would be better for every one
train to Z--
FivQ minutes to eight 1 the doctor
held his watch in his hand now.
Three minutes! No sound but the 1
heavy breathing of the old captain,.
who had fallen asleep. Two min-
utes ! how fast the hands moved 1
the doctor's heart sunk down like
lead. One minute ! with a heavy
sigh he put back his watch,absently
brushed his bat with his coat sleeve,
and got up. At that very moment
a key was turned in the latch, the
front door was opened and sharply
closed,. a -quick firm step, which
must have been Donovan's, was
heard in the passage; the door was
opefied. Yes, there he wad. The
doctor stepped hastily forward.
"I had just given ,you up; I've
been in town since two o'clock; hop-
ing to see you!" he exclaimed, anx-
iously scanning every line of Dono-
van's face.
His last hope died as he did so,
for an unmistakable expression of
surprise, annoyance, and perplexity
passed over it; his color rose; be
glanced from the doctor to the old
captain before speaking; then,
with no word of regret at having
missed so much of his friend's visit,
he hastily enquired after Stephen.
"Stephen is better; going on per-
fectly well," repled the doctor short-
ly. "I must be off at once, though
or I shall not be able to get to Z—
to-night. Perhaps you'll walk with
me to the station."
Dr•Tremain was human, and he
had bad a great deal to try him
that day, his tone was almost bit-
ter. Donovan winced under it.
One comfort was that the ordeal
must be short—a five minutes'
walk. Surely he could hold his

weaknesses alternating with the

ed to iihinit that he was beginning
to len fpr knowledge of the truth,
chiefly that he might be in a posi-
tion to win Glad's.
These thoughts had rushed tu-
multuously through his mind, and
rneantime the doctor waited for bis
answer, and they had walked up
the platform. "Was this the rea-
son you would not come to use
He could not tell av untruth; the
crimson flush which bad risen to his
brow, the long- pause, both told un-
favorably against him with Dr'
Tremain. So did the iron voice in
which at length his unsatisfying
answer was made.
"I invented an excuse last sum-
mer—my real reason for not coin-
ing I entirely decline to tell you."
"I am disappointed in you, Dono-
van," said the doctor, and his voice
even more than the words carried
a terrible pang with it, and sent a
momentary spasm of pain over Don•
oven's strong face.
"Just forget me, that is all I ask
of you," be said, unable to free his
tone from all expi ession as he
would have wished.
The doctor had taken` his place.
Something in that last speech of
Donovan's touched him; he would
have spoken in reply, but one of
those trivial interruptions which
break in so rudely upon the moat
anxious moments of life prevented
him,
The shrill voice of a boy inter-
vened.
" `Punch,' `Judy,"Fun,' 'Evening
Standard,' and 'Echo.' Paper, sir?"
Some passenger wanted an Even•
ing Standard; at that minute the
train began to move. By the time
the newspaper boy had sprung down
from the step, Dr Tremain was too
far from Donovan to do more than
wave a farewell. Once more Glady's
words flashed baclinto his mind:—
"Yon will believe in him when you
see Mm," and this time, in spite of
all. ,that had -.. -passed, the doctor. c11d
-waver: For in that tall dark figure
on the platform there seemed to hien
a certain majesty—a majesty insep-
arable from right or absolute con-
viction of being in the right. He
could not clearly see the face now,
but the last look he had seen on it
had been a strange blending of pain
and strength, the strength predomi-
nating over the pain. Could he
after all have been mistaken? Like
the warm Hearted, impetuous roan
that ire was, the doctc,r at once tore
a sheet from his pocket book and,
with tears in his eyes wrote I)ono-
v,:n such a letter as the best of
fathers might write to his son.
The ordeal was over, the victory
had been complete; self had been
kept under; but the victor was too
entirely crushed to feel even a sha-
dow of triumph. IIe stood per
fectly still, watching the train as it
steamed out of the station with an
odd sensation—more numbing than
keenly painful—that it was drag-
ging with .it a great part of himself.
Presently he must rouse himself to
go on with life, to make the most of
what was left. There are great
nts and voids in most lives. At
first we feel stunned and helpless,
but after a time we become ascus- I
towed to the new order of •things,
and live on, "learning perforce," as
some one has well expressed it, "to
take up with what is left,"
That the loss had come about by
his own will did not at all soften
matters to Donovan, but rather the
reverse. He was?past reasoning—
almost past thought. When the red
lamps on the last carriage had quite
disappeared, he turned slowly away,
aware that he had deliberately with
his own hand turned the brightest
page of his life's 'history. A new
page must be begun—of that too he
was dimly aware.
He left the station and walked
slowly through the wet, muddy,
cheerless streets. It did not actual-
ly rain, and the wind had risen;
there was some comfort in that.—
With his usual craving for air and
space, he bent his steps to the river,
walked along the Embankment,
turned on to Blackfriars Bridge,
and chose as his halting place one
of its recesses.
Not since the first days after
Dot's death had such a crushing,
deadening sense of loss oppressed
him, and now, as then, he had to
bear his pain alone. But he was
stronger , than in the old days ;
stronger because he was growing
conscious of his owrn weakness,
and bedause he was infinitely wider
in its sympathies. He was not in
the mood to see anything, though
the dark flowing river, and the re-
flected lights, and the great loom -
but himself if he just held his ing outline of the dome of St. Paul's
tongue. Better for Stephen, better 1 would at any other time have
that he should lose his plaee in the4
Tremain household, and be entire-
ly forgotten, better—infinitely bet-
ter—for Gladys. If his name
ceased to be mentioned, if they all
believed Mm to be what, he now
appeared, in time she, too, would
conte to share that belief. He hon-
estly believed that to forget him
would be her truest happiness, and
the remembrance of their last in-
terview, when she had been unable
to hide her pain, strengthened him
now. Anything to save her from
life long sorrow! • "Think evil of
me, dear love," was now his inward
cry; "suffer, if it must be, that short

"Ye were a fool, Pat, me boy, to

the elf,with a few superfluous oaths.
Finding his efforts to strike a light
ineffectual, be scrambled to his feet,
and with great deliberation and
muttered ejaculations about the
"blissed saints," threw the three
boxes of fusees one after another
into the river.
"Why do you throw them awayl"
said Donovan, with some curiosity.
"They was wet through, yer hon-
or," said the small Iriah boy, look-
ing up at Donovan with a friendly
grin. "I chucked 'em into the
river for fear the devil abould get
into 'em."
"How?" asked Dono'en, with an
involuntary senile,
"Ooh 1 yer honor has had. no
dealings with the divil thin, or ye'd
niver ask such a thing. Why,
says I to meself, 'Pat, vme lad, lave
'em to dry and ye'll sell 'em right
enough; but thin says I to meself
again, 'But, Pat, may be the divil
'ud be in the coppers vo'd get for
'em.' Yer honor don't know how
terrible aisy it comes to chate a
bit when there ain't nothing else to
do."
"Yes, I do know," said Donovan,
gravely.
"Do ye railly. now 1" said Pat,
with a broad grin. "And did the
divil get inside your honor? Och,
he's a terrible cratur to have deal-
ings with ! Last year, yer honor,
I was half starved, and one day I
prigged a loaf hoc and frish from a
baker's, and eat it up like a shot
for fear o' being cotched by the
peeler, and if ye'll belave it, yer
honer, the divil was -in the loaf.—
Och! I could have danced with the
pain of it; and after that says I to
meself, 'Pat, me lad, kape clear o'
the divil, or maybe he'll gripe ye
warse next time.'
"Do you see that fire at the other
end of the bridge, Pat 1" said Dono-
van, looking down gravely at the
lit`ler grubby faced Irish boy,•

said Pat, wistfully.'
"Yes," said Donovan, with a smile.
"Do you think the devil would be
in the potatoes?"
Pat nodded emphatically.
"Bedad and I do, yer honor, if I
was to stale 'ern."
"But if I were to give them to
you /''
tly, thin, yer honor," cried
Pat, grinning from ear to ear, "it
wud be the blissed saints as wud
reward yer"
"Come along then," said Donovan,
and the strangely contrasted com-
panions walked off together—the
barefooted, superstitious, but honest
lirtle gamin, and the grave, per-
plexed, but honest agnostic.
"If yer honor wud but eat one !"
exclaimed Pet, looking up with
shining eyes from the double enjoy-
ment of the hot potatoes and the
charcoal fire.
So Donovan eat a potato—and
began his new life.

And gives the battle to his hands.
TENNYSON.
The encounter with Pat served to
turn Donovan's thoughts for a short
time from his trouble; it made him
realize that there were other beings
in the world besides Tremains—
men, women and children more or
less poor, more or less suffering,
more or less in need of help.
By and by, however, being but
human, his own sorrow overpower-
ed him again, shutting out for the
time all thought of others. He
was no novice in sorrow; one by
one, everything that was of most
worth to him had been either taken
away or voluntarily renounced; but
this last call, this greatest sacrifice,
seemed to have exhausted his
strength. He went about his
work more like a machine than like
a man; he lost all interest in what
but a short time before had ab-
sorbed him. Had he been ordered
never to go to, the hospital again,
he would have acquiesced without
a word; had he been warned of the
most imminent danger, his heart
would not have beat more quickly.
To rouse his energy, to awaken bis
love, hate, interest of any sort,
seemed impossible.
Dr Tremain's letter did indeed
sharpen his pain; and in a few day's
time Mrs Tremain wrote too—a
long letter, cruelly kind, cruelly
trustful, urging in almost irresist-
ible words that Donovan would
write to her and tell her all he
could—that he would be open with
her, would remember what old
friends they were, and would not
allow any formality, or even any
mistake, to raise a barrier between
than%
''''i 13e sure to write to me when
you can," the letter ended, "for till
I hear I shall not be happy about
you, and you know your place in
my heart is very near Dick's. You
see I put -my request on selfish
grounds entirely ! My husband
seems to have seen so little of you
the other day, and I can't help
fancying that you misunderstood
each other.
"Even if it was not so please let
me hear from you. Remember that
you adopted Portlikerran as your
home, and that even if things have
gone wrong, we should like to have
a little home confidence."
pleased his eye. To -night he just
leaned on the parapet, getting a
sort of relief from the fresh night
wind, but almost unconscious of
time and place.
He was roused at last by becom-
ing aware that there was another
occupant of the recess. A small
elf—whether boy or girl he could
not at fii''st tell—was yawning and
stretching itself, having just awak-
ened from' sound sleep. Presently
a dismayed excl`lmation made Don-
ovan draw a little nearer.
"By all the blissed saints ! if
they ain't wet thrctligb, all the three
of 'em!"
Then came sounds of t iolent
scraping, Donovan, stooping down

silent player nothing is required
but self restraint.
The end of it was that Mrs Tre-
main's letter was quietly dropped
into the hottest part of the fire;
when the sudden blaze died out
Donovan turned away, and with
something added to the dead weight
of depression which be had borne
before, set out for his "day's walk.
For some weeks things went on
in this way, the only change was
that those black depths of dejection
lost their horrble novelty; it seem-
ed as if for long ages he had fagged
throughweary uninte:esting days,
had borne this load at his heart.
In time, however, he came to real-
ize the truth that dejection is self-
ishness, and no more excusable tin
the ground of naturalness than
selfishness is. It was-naturalcer-
tainly to be dejected after a great
loss, it was also natural to put self
first, but it was not for that reason
right, lie had been wrapped up
in himself and in those bitter sweet
recoilec;ions of the past. When he
was fully awake to the fact bis
strength came back again; detection

he went Tooth and nail, and£he
strange incentive to the work was
none other than the old captain.
Poor Rouge was a curious person
perhaps to save a fellow being from
spiritual death, but nevertheless bis
presence did save Donovan. It was
the sight of thst feeble old man
dragging through his useless, aim-
less days, with his pipe anal his
brandy and water, his weak fits of
laughter and his maudlin tears
which first roused Mut.
