for a good days shooting I bccamo involuntarily nare that thcro was a decided change in ly old friend In whi it lay I oould not explain but there it wu and despite tho absurdity of it tliis was my last thought before I fell 2slc and my first on waking Tho troublo of dreeing how ever banished it from me for a while and hurrying down to the morning room I found HctCon already thcro whistling ii a high key and fully acciounled for th days sport A BubstanUal meal was pro pared to which after a hearty greeting we sat down lio apologising for Blrs Dygl alda absence by saying as yet she oould not

I believe ww untenanted until 1 perceived Mrs Dngald seated in the win dow half shaded by the cortaio In her hands she held a letter over which she leaned a faoe that startled white yet fierce and eager though a tear trembled on her long silken lashes I about to retreat softly when she heard me and sprang up thrusting tho letter into her as she ted fiercely rouud But the neit mome she recovered herself and said with short laugh How you startled me Mr Cuherley I I did not know you had relumed I I took you for something dreadful Laughing also I apologised for dis turbing her saying I had but that in- ant entered the room whereupon she plied rather brusquely that it did not latter had I been there an hour It was a day or so after the above occurrence 1 on descendingto the hteakfaatrioom ly surprise I found Hettona wife in Heltons place It was tho first time arrival that she had honoured that meal with her presence On inquir ing after Hetton she informed me that slightly indisposed and had de- take ks brealast in his room Then I rejoined a good sleep he said did not succeed in removing tho headache of whioh he complained No indeed it appeara not shore- That morning I staid indoors in case Hetton should come down but be did not and near upon lunoheon time Mrs Dugald came to me looking quite pale and auzioaB Mr Onlverley she said mako my husband outhegets no better I want him to have advice but he refuses so I have oomo to ask you to use your per suasions Will ily assented and hcteninj formed my plan of actioD I returned the house Going to mj room I remained a prey to much oervotts agiution lill my wateh which I set exactly by the one in the library pointed to fiv to nine Then leaving my room wWy croeaing the corri4or I liatcned st Hettons cham- beidoor iUmoBt ioatanttteously the clink of glass reached my ear wherenpoi I knook Hetton called Come in and I entered Mrs Dugidd was just pre paring his medicine which he took All right Here Nina dear take my keys and in my desk in the library yoi ill find some papers endorsed MoGillee ring them darlmg The medicine cai Mrs Dngald puttbg down the glass took the keys and left the room Your- draught need not wait I re joined laughing I can it you foi ico surely Approaching the table in a few minutes I handed him tho medicine He drank itj remarking afterwards with a languid smile that it didnt taste so nice as usual perhaps omng to Ninas not having ad ministered it I answered No doubt as Mrs Dugald relumed with the papers I took them and soon after waa riding full spd to C- a large town fou miles distant It was past eleven when stumed yet I found Mrs Dngald in thi drawingroom She told mo that Bettoi appeared extremely restless and had ex presBcd a wish to see mo I immediately hastened to bis room and discovered bim to be far more exoltcd and less languid than usual I was not surprised at it Sitting down by his side I at first began to taU on trivial subjects then asked steady a voico as I oould though supported by pillows and making an afc- tompttorcad He Eeemed much changed all bis energy usurped by a most oppressive languor I was more struck by his appearance th I cared to own but instantly urged a using the old proverb Prevention nftoT thnn niira in nil rryt Anfrnifino id my last trusting howover in your forgivoness and feeling that yod will rccize in it but a sign of my sincero aflcetioa for you I know that Oharlcy bo fire away with your impertinence I forgive bcforo- hand anything you do Then tell mo Hetton is your morried life ahappy one Ho itortcd and his faoo as Iio looked doubtfully in my face then turned fjuickly away I feared I had offended him and hastened to say t I know I would annoy you IVcil why Hhould I noi confess it to you Charley you who I rrd as

mid I will tell you A few momenta liter by Heltons sido I heard U story of tlio past Igivo it in a few words Dugald had firt liemo enamoured with Oie splendid face Naconi a dancer fondly his too generous heart togoliod by a long stry of distreas ho had married lier For the first year their liin fcppy oaoogb then change r her which be attributed to her family annoying her eepeoially a hrotlMr who had returned from aea therefore he every feminine action showed tho deepest anxiety Hetton still declared it was nothing he was all right bnt for the heaviness on his nerves bat finally per mitted me to rido over to Exeter and sum mon from tbence tho most skilled practi tioner Not a moment elapsed before I was in the saddle and during my rido I could not help thinking that Heltt disposition would at least have one good result tho removal of his doubts abou hia wifes affection no woman could bi mora attentive Tho doctor I brought back treated my friends malady as a trivial affair which would speedily oumb before the prescriptions ho would Bcnd But Buccocding days proved that he was wrong and I soon saw that he puulcd as muoh as I for Hetton grew iMSlter indeed tho feeling of prostrati inoreased and if at one time ho appeared to revive tho relapse was only worse aft wards This being the case I could i help hinting at other advice Not yet replied tho doctor lo fcss this langour which resists all nw forta to overcome puzzels me still I v wait a day or two longer then for my own sake shall request a consultation f io hasany troublo None I answered readily having nly tho day before been tho confident of Ilotions reonnlalion rcspceling his wife want of affcotion which her prcBcnt attei lion had entirely removed It was a fei s after thisj and Uio consultallo nun u
