CHAPTER XXX,
Ir was a wretched and anxious night for Hazel. He watched the hut, without the conrage to approach it, Thatope moment of weakness wliich occurred to him on beard the **Proserpine,” when he had allowed Helen to perceive the nature of his feelings toward her, had rendered all his actions open to suspicion. He dared not exhibit toward her any sympathy—he might not extend to her the most ordinary civility. If she fell ill, if fever supervened ! how could he nurse her, attend upon her? His touch must have a significance, he knew that; for, as he bore her insensible form, he em- biaced rather than earried the precious bu'den. Could he look upon her in her suffering without betraying his forbidden love? And then would not his attentions afflict more than console ?
Chewing the cud of such bitter thoughts, he passed the night without noticing the change which was taking place over the island. The sun rose; and this awakened him from his reverie, which had replaced sleep; he looked around, and then became seusible of the warnings in the air.
The sea-birds flew about vaguely and absurdly,and seemed sporting in currents of wind; yet there was but littie wind down below. Presently clouds came flying over! the sky, and blacker masses gathered on the
horizon. The sea changed color.
Hazel knew the weather was breaking. The wet season was at hand—the moment when fever, if such
an invisible inhabitant there was on the island, would visit them. In a few hours the rain would be upon them, and he re-| proached himself with want of care in the} construction of the hut. For some hours he hovered around it before he ventured to approach the door and call to Helen. He thought he heard her voice faintly, and he
entered. She lay there as he had placed
her. He knelt beside her, and was appalled
at the change in her appearance.
The poor girl's system had received a shock for which it was unprepared. Her
severe sufferings at sea had, strange to say,
reduced her in appearance less than could
have been believed; for her physical en-
durance proved greater than that of the
strong men around her. But the food
which the island supplied was not suited to
restore her strength, and the nervous shock
to which she had been subjected was fol-
lowed by complete prostration.
Hazel took her unresisting hand, which
he would have given a world to press. He
felt her pulse; it was weak, but slow. Her cheeks were hollew, her eyes sunken; her

ly followed by nausea. ' It was midday before he recovered from
to take food. Then he waited for two hours and felt much restored. He stole to the hut to look in. Helen lay there as he had left her. He stooped over her; her eyes were half closed, and she turned them slowly upon him; her lips moved a little— that was all. He felt her pulse again; it was still weaker and slower. He rose and went away,and regaining the boat-house, he measured out a portion of the poppy liquor, one-third of the dose he had previously taken, and drank it. No head-
it became quick and violent, while a sense of numbness overcame him, and he slept. It was but fora few minutes. He awoke with a throbbing brow, and some sickness, but with a sense of delight at heart, for he had found an opiate, and prescribed its quantity.
He drained the liquor away from the poppy leaves and carried it tothe hut. Measuring with great care a sma]! quantity he lifted the girl’s head and placed it to ber lips. She drank it mechanically. Then he watched beside her until her breathing and her pulse changed in char- acter. Sheslept. He turned aside then and buried his face in his hands and prayed fervently for her life—prayed as we pray for the daily bread of the heart. He prayed and waited.
CHAPTER XXXI, THE next morning, when Helen awoke,
recovered more strength, but still was too weak to walk; but she employed herself at Hazel’s request, in making a rope of cocoa- nut fibre, some forty yards long. This he required to fish up the spar co a sufficient, height on the great palm-tree, and bind it} firmly in place. While she worked; nimbly, he employed himself in gathering | a store of such things as they would require | during the coming winter season. She} watched him with a smile, but he persever ed. So that day passed. The next morn-| ing the rope was finished. Helen was not sv well, and was about to help herself to the poppy liquor, when Hazel happily stop- ped her hand in time; he showed her the exact dose necessary, and explained minu | tely the effects of a larger draught. Then; he shouldered the rope and set out for Palm-tree Point.
He was absent about six hours, of which Helen slept four. And for two, which, seemed very long, she ruminated. What} was she thinking of that made her smile) and weep at tbe same moment? and she) locked so impatiently toward the door. He| entered at last very fatigued. It was, eleven miles to the Point and back.
i+ 1u3
While | eating his frugal supper, he gave her a. detail of his day’s adventures. Strange to) say, he had not seen a single seal on the} sands. He described how he had tied one | end of her rope to the midcle vf the spar, !
‘and, with the other between his teeth, he)
climbed the great palm. For more than an) hour he twiled; he gained its.top, passed | the rope over one ofits branches, and| hauled up the spar to about eighty feet) above the ground; then descending with | the other end, he wound the rope spirally | round and round the tree, thus binding to its trunk the first twenty feet by which the span hung from the branch.
She listened very carelessly, he thought, and betrayed little interest in this enter- prise which had cost him so much labor and fatigue.
When he had concluded, she was silent awhile, and then, looking up quickly, said, the his great surprise :
‘I think I may increase the dose of your medicine there. You are mistaken in its power. I am sure I can take four times what you gave me.’
‘Indeed you are mistaken,’ he answered, quickly. ‘I gave you the extreme measure you ean take with safety,’
‘How do you know that? You can only guess at its effects. At any rate, 1 shall try it.’

A Governor-General on Horseback.
SE
The following story is told of a late Governor-General of Canada. His Ex- cellency rather prided himéelf upon his horsemanship, and although a somewhat eavy man, when mounted upon a power ful horse, was certainly a good specimen of the gentleman rider. Occasionally a few friends were invited by him to meet early in the morning at a beautiful park called Mutchmer Park, in the vicinity of Ottawa, and take a gallop ‘‘across country,” and on these occasions, when the speed of his horse would permit, the Governor generally led the party.
One fine September morning some five or six gentlemen turfites mounted upon blooded and spirited horses met with His Excellency for a run over the sward and across such fields as presented a spice of anger on the way of high fences, dikes and ditches. The gentleman who. owned the fieetest steepleehaser in the lot came mounted upon a cob while his groom led his throughbred some little distance away. The Governor ‘earned that the, horse’s owner was afraid to mount him that morn- ing, as he was rather short of work and very rank, and permission was asked by His Excellency to be allowed to ride him for that day’s sport. The request was reluct- antly granted, as there was great danger of an accident to both horse and rider, how- ever, the horse was saddled, a good bridle with strong snaffle and broad rein exchang- ed for one inferior in strength, the Gover- nor given a leg up, and the whole party was ready for the fray.
A short run around the park and over the hurdles that had been in use there, was suggested, to enable each rider to get his seat and feel his horse befcre taking the more dangerous leaps over ditches, and fences, which would be found in a ride “across country.” The start was made, and the Governor having the mest speedy horse was the first to take his jump; first one hurdle and then another, land another,was passed over in beautiful flying leaps, till two circuits of the course had been made. The horses had become warmed up, and the gentlemen riders nerved almost to the point of courage required to face a Galway stone wall. His Excellency considered this was the time to strike out for the country; bat somehow, in the rapid circles, he had be- come mixed and led off in the opposite direction to that which had been selected, being short-sighted in the bargain he did not discover his mistake, but faced
she was very weak ; her head ached, but sho was herself. Hazel had made a broth for her from the fleshy part of a turtle ; this greatly revived her, and by midday she was able to sit up. Having seen that her wants were within her reach, he left her; but in a few moments she heard him busily engaged on the roof of her hut.
On his return, he explained to her his fears that the structure was scarcely as weather proof as he desired, and he antici- pated hourly the commencement of the rainy season. Helen smiled and pointed to the sky which here was clear and bright. But Hazel shook his head doubtingly. The wet season would commence, probably with an atmospheric convulsion,
rain. Helen refused to believe in more rain than they had experienced on board the boat—a genial shower.
‘You will see,’ replied Hazel. ‘If you do not change your views within the next three days, then call me a false propnet.’
he passed, and Helen
and then settled down to uninte:rupted |
his steed with full force at a board lfence about four feet in height, that sepa- rated the park from ashallow creek. The fence was cleared in gallant style, the horse landing upon the low bank of the creek, made two or three plunges in the water, stuck fast in the mud, and threw the Governor-General of Canada over his head in the air, and the next instant found him taking an involuntary cold bath in about a foot deep of stagnant and miry water. The situation was made all the more unpleasant by the fact that
the butcher wht supplied Rideau Hall swept into the brook the refuse of his slaughter-house, which stood upon the bank of the creek,
‘within ten feet of the spot where the Gov- ‘ernor lay. The butcher, fortunately, was astir, and recognized his patron floundering ‘inthe mud. A rope was thrown out which ' assisted him to drag his feet out of the mire acd get to solid footing. The butcher ‘hurried his Excellency into the house and
bevught down ali the best cluthes irom his
wardrobe, but unluckily they were far too small, as the owner was a ditiinuitive
fellow of about five feet in height. Noth- ing in the whole wardrobe was found large enough to go around one side of the Governor but an
old overcoat which was hastily thrown over his shoulders, the buteher’s cart was pressed into service, and His Excellency driven home by a back way to Rideau Hall.
