Do you pave the way for Sybil’s return; I w ill find a reason for the mar- flage—a bone to throw to the dogs. For, [tell you, Con.,, the true reason will never be told.”

Thinking of Sybil’s letter, Constance could but agree with him in this; and that letter, too, had caused her to think that Sybil had expected, or hoped, or feared, a return to W—; which, she could only guess.

“You will furnish a reason, Evan? You are mystifying me.’’

“Never mind that. worthless—black sheep—sot; I will find areason, I tell you; one that will not be questioned, and that will spare Sybil.’’

“And what then?’’

“Then, aided by you, Sybil can come hack to us. Aided by my new strong resolve, I will receive that Burrill—it -marly chokes me to speak his name—just as Sybil shall«lictate; and then, aided by the old man’s money, we may be able to bay him off and get him out of the coun- try.””

“Why, Evan Lamotte,”’ cried Con- | flance, with a burst of hopefulness, ‘‘you have actually evolved a practical scheme. i begin to feel less hopeless.”’

“Oh, I have a brain or two left, when afirm hand like yours, shakes me up, sts me straight, and gets me in running order. Will you help, Con. ?’’

“Will lhelp! Sybil Lamotte, if she comes back, will be warmly welcomed by me, and by all W—, if I can bring it about.’’

He sprang to his feet and seized her hands. ‘“‘Thank you, Conny,’’ he cried; “my heart is lightened now; I can ‘bide

my time,’ as the novels say. Only do your part, Con.’’ “Trust me for that. Now come to

luncheon, Evan.”’

He dropped her hands, tway abruptly.

“I won't! Ican’t,’’ he said, almost grafiily. ‘‘Go in, Con., and be prepared welcome Sybil tack; and I,”’ he added, moving away, and turning a wicked look

Dector Clifford Heath sat alone in his Office at half-past eleven o'clock. His Tse, “‘all saddled and bridled,’’ stood low in the street, awaiting him.

‘*Why as to that,’’ replied the doctor,

unusually severe blow. We all have to take them in some shape or other, at one time, or another; these soft hands hit hard, but—it’s the penalty we pay for being sons of Adam. Although now that I come to think of it, I can’t recall that I ever insisted upon being a son af Adam.”’

“Why !"’ said Raymond Vandyck, open- ing his eyes in languid surprise, ‘‘you as if you had received one of those hard hits.’’

‘So I have, my boy; so I have,’’ he replied debonairly. ‘‘If I were a woman I would get out a fresh handkerehief and tell you all about it. Beiwg a man I— smoke.’’

Young Vandyck sighed heavily, and picked up a newspaper, running his eye listlessly over the columns. Here was another upon whom the flight of Sybil Lamotte had fallen a heavy blow. He had loved Sybil since they were a boy and girl, and lately for a few short months they had been betrothed, then Sybil had asked to be released, and in such a manner that it left him no room for remonstrance. The engagement had been broken, but the young man had not quite abandoned hope.

Now, however, hope had deserted him. Sybil was lost to him utterly, and hear- ing the news of her flight he had rushed into Doctor Heath's presence a temporary madman. He could not have found a wiser or mure sympathetic friend and adviser, and he fully realized this fact. The doctor’s patience, delicacy and dis-

cretion had screened him from the prying eyes and prating tongues of the curious ones, who were anxious to probe his wounds, and see how ‘‘Vandyck would take it,’’ and had made him his firm friend for always.

Ever since the advent of Doctor Heath, Vandyck had been one of his warmest admirers, and this admiration had now ripened into a sincere and lasting friend- ship.

‘*You are a good fellow, Heath,’’ said Vandyck, sucdenly throwing down his paper. ‘‘I want to tell you that I appre- ciate such kindness as you did me. I don’t suppose you would ever go off your head like that. I shan’t again.’’

**No, I don’t think you will,’’ responé- ed the doctor soberly. ‘‘As for going off my head, Lord bless you, man, it’s in

carry a tender spot to your grave,but you can’t squeeze all the sunshine out of your soul, any more than out of your Saxon face.”’

Vandyck laughed dismally.

‘It’s hard lines, however, ‘‘But I’m bound to face the music. —I wish I could understand it.’’

‘*So do all her friends. Ray, give you a little advice.’’

“Wel,””

and Iam certain she has not lost her faith in her friend.’’ ‘“Thank you, Heath; I will.’

Just here the office door admitted an- other visitor in the form of Francis La- motte.

He, too, looked pale and worn, but he carried his head erect, if not with some

defiance. ‘‘Do, Heath. Morning, Van- dyck,’’ he mumbled, flinging himself upon a settee with scant ceremony.

‘*You will excuse me from asking ‘what’s the news?’ ‘‘T should ask what’s the matter?’ re- torted Clifford Heath, eyeing him closely. ‘Fix me up one of your potions, Heath,” replied Francis, drawing a hard breath. ‘I’ve had another of those cursed

Ir. Heath arose and went slowly toward a cabinet, slowly unlocked it and then turned and surveyed his patient.

‘* Another attack,’’ he said somewhat severely, ‘‘the second one in three days, and not a light one, if I can judge. Let me tell you, Lamotte, you must not have a third of these attacks for some time to come, ’”

‘*I won't,’’ replied Lamotte, with a nervous laugh. ‘‘This one has dene me up; I feel weak as a kitten, meek as a lamb.’
