Thorn wns no omnibus to take Mrs.
Gilbert back to Grnybrldgo nfter the
Borvk'o nt flurstonlolgh; but there lwul
boon soiru Grnybrldgo people nt church,
and she found them lingering In tho
churchyard talking to some of I lie model
vi!lnjtnr. enthusiastic In their prnlso of
Mr. (Jolbtirn'H eloquence.
Isabel's friends left her nt the gate.
She, hml done nothing to redeem her
olriractor in Grnybrldgo by her frequent
nttendnneo nt Hurstonlolgh Church,
l.hleh was as imte.it to the gos-ilps iih
ever hor visits to Thurston's onk had
bion. She hnd boon cured of running
nfler Mr. Lnus.Iell, people snid. No
doubt George Gilbert had discovered ho;
goings on, and had f mini u monns of
dipping hor wings. H waj not likely
tli nt Graybrhlgc would credit hor with
Mi'-li virtue of repentance. Grnybrldgo
regarded her ns an artful nnd presuming
mmture, wham goings-on had been
sfunpoil by innrll.ll authority.
S'i.; wont into the parlor and found the
ten things l.;'d -Ji'l:e-t
lying on th
1M t!;2 t:blo, nnd Mr.
tho earn, wblvh was too
bln.rt for him by a couple of foot, nnd
was eked out by a chair, on which Ills
'innsy boots rented. Isabel had never
soon him give way to any such solf-ln-(Inlftoiipo
before; but ns she bent over
be told her that his bond itched, and he
wan tired, very tired; he had been in the
laiicn nil (lie afternoon the people about
there hall boon bud nnd he had boon it
work in tho surgery since coming in. He
1 nt hlii hand In Isabel's, and pressed hers
ifpairrmtoly. A very little attention
a..:n hfs pretty young wife gratified and
Made him happy.
- "W!.y, George," cried Mrs. Gilbert,
"your hand U as hoi us a burning coal!"
Yos, ho was very warm, he told her;
tho weather was hot and oppressive;
nt least he had found it so that after
noon. Perhaps he had been hurrying too
much, walking too fast; he had upset
binuwlf somehow or other.
,"Jf you'll pour out tlie tea. Iz.lo, Pll
t.iUe a cup and t!tc:i go ti bed," he said;
oi reg ilarly i.l i.ved o.n."
Ho Uo!c not one cup only, but four
r ' of ten pouring the mild beverage
down his throat nt a 'draught; and then
bo went up to tho room overhead, walk
ing heavily, as it lie wore very tired.
"Pm suro you're 111, George," Isabel
F..ld ns he left the parlor; "do take some
thing some of that horrid medicine you
give mo."
"No, my dear; there's nothing tho mat-
tor with inc. What should there bo
nmlss with inc, who never hnd a day's
illness in my life? I must have an ns
hlstaut, Iaale, my work's too hard; that's
whitt Is the matter."
Mrs. Gilbert sat in tho dusk a little
while after hor husband left hor, think
ing of tlint last look which ltnlnnd Lans
dvll bad given her in the church.
Heaven knows how long she might
have ant thinking of him, If Jcfl'sou had
not como in.
After tho lights had boon brought Isa
bel took a book from the top of the lit
tlo chiffonier by the fire place. It was
n religious book. Was she nit trying to
bo good now, and was not goodness In
compatible with the perusal of Shel
ley's poetry on u Sunday? She sat thus,
until alio was stnrtlod by a cautious sin
file knock nt tho door. She stnrtod from
her scat at the sound; but she went bold
ly c I.-' l " '.!"' ...'.ions.
Tl;;o t.c .: ..L!..g .i.icomnion in n Into !
ki.jjLL.e at tho doctor's door some one
from the lnncs wanted medicine, no
doubt, the people in tho lanes were nl
ways wanting medicine. Mrs. Gilbert
opouod, tho door, nnd looked out into the
(ljrkr'3. A man was standing there,
a- woll-clnd, rnthor handsome looking
ninu, with brond shoulders, bold black
eyes, nnd a black board that covered
nil tho lower part of his face. Ho did
not wait to be invited to outer, but
wnlked across the threshold like n man
who had a right to come into tho house,
nnd nlmost pushed Isabel on one side ns
ho did so. At tlrst she only stared at him
with a blnnk look of wonder, but nil at
once, her face grow as whito as tho plas
ter on the wall behind her.
'You!" she enspou 1 n whisper; "you
here!"
"Yes, mo! You needn't stnro ns If
you saw n gho3t. Tnero s notlilng so
very queer about mo, is, there? You're
a nice young lady, I don't think, to stnnd
there shivering nnd staring. Whore's
your husband?"
"Unsta Irs. Oh. why, why did you
come hero?" cried tho doctor's wife, plto
ously, chsping her hands like n creature
?n some extremity of fear nnd trouble;
"how could you bo so cruel ns to come
Hero? How could you bo so cruel us to
.01110?"
"How could I bo so fiddlesticks!"
muttered the stranger, with supreme con
tempt. "1 came bore because I had
newborn else to go, my lassie. You
needn't whlmner; for I ihn'n't trouble
you very long this Is not oxnctly tho
place I should cure to hang out In if
ts-ou can give me n bed in tills house for
to-night, well nnd good; if not, you can
clvo mo money nnd I'll una one else
where. While I nm hero, remember my
iinme's Cnntain Morgan; nnd I'm in the
merchant service."
CHAPTER XXI.
Gnorno Gilbert was something more
l linn "nlaved out." Thcro hud boon n
Brent deal of typhoid fover ninong the
i.norer Inhabitants of Grnybridge, nnd
ho neighboring villages lately a bad
iifosHnus fover. which hung over the
odor's Wife i
E. BRADDOfl
, ;
narr -w lnncs nnd little clusters of cot
tages like a black cloud; nnd tho parish
surgom, working onrly nnd late, subject
to sudden chills when his work was hot
test, exposed to every vnrloty of tem
perature at all times, fasting for long
hours, nnd altogether sotting nt untight
those very first principles of health, In
which It was his duty to Instruct other
people, had paid tho common penalty to
which nil of his profession nre, more or
loss, subject. George Gilbert hnd caught
a touch of the fever. Mr. Pawlkntt,
enlnr, called in early on Monday morn
lug, summoned by poor, terrified Isnbol,
and spoko of his rival's Illness very light
ly, as a "touch of the fever,"
'I always it was Infectious," ho
remarked; "but your husband would hnve
It that it wasn't. It wns all tho effect
of dirty habits and low living, bo snid,
and not any special and pcrlodlcnl Inllu
ence in tho air. Well, poor fellow, ho
knows now who Is right. You must keep
lilin very quiet. Glvo him n little tonst-nnd-wnter,
nnd tho Itmo draughts I shall
Fend you."
Unhappily for tho patient, it wns not
tho eaKloAt matter in the world to keep
him quiet. "I dnro say Pawlkntt likes
to so' mo laid by the heels here, lassie,"
ho said to his wife, "while ho goes inter
fering with my patients, and bringing
his oid-fushoned theories to boar. He'll
shut up the poor wretched llttlo windows
of nil those cottages in tho lnncs, I dare
say; and mnke the rooms oven more
stilling thnn ' they hnve been mndc by
tho builder. He'll frighten tho poor wom
en into shutting out every breath of
!resh air, and then take every atom of
strength away from those poor wasted
creatures by his drastic treatment. It's
no use talking, my dour, I'm n little
knocked out. but I've no more fever
about mo than you have, and I shall
go out this evening. I shall go round
and see those people. There's n womnn
in the liine behind tho church (a widow
with three children), lying ill; nnd she
fieonts to believe in me, poor creature,
an if I was Providence itself. I can't
forget the look she gave mo yesterday,
when she stood on tho threshold of her
a. retched hovel, asking mo to suvo her
children, ns if she thought it rested with
mo to save her children. I can't forget
her look, Iz.ie. It haunted mo nil last
night. And when I think of Pawlkntt
pouring his drugs down those children's
throats, I I tell you it's no use, my
dear, I'll take u cup of tea, nnd then
got up nnd dross."
It was in vain tbnt Isabel pleaded; in
vain that she brought to hor nid Mrs.
I elf sou, tho vigorous nnd outspoken, who
diclured Hint it would bo nothing short
of self-murder if Mr. Gilbert insisted on
going out that evening; equally in vain
tho threat of summoning Mr. Pnwlkatl.
George was rcsolmo; those quiet people
nlways are resolute, not to say obstinate.
Ho wns wanted yonder among his pa
tients, mid lie must go. Isnbol and Mrs.
Jcffs'in retired in melancholy resigna
tion to prepare tho tea, which was to
Certify tho surgeon for his evening's
work. Goorgo canto downstnirs half an
hour afterward, looking, not ill, or even
weak, but nt once Hushed nnd haggard.
' There's nothing whatever the matter
with me, my dear lassie," ho said, as his
wife followed him to tho door; "I nni
only done up with very hard work. I
feel tired and crumped in my limbs, ns
if I'd caught cold somehow or other. 1
was out nil day in tne wet last wooic,
you know; but there's nothing in that. I
shall just look in ut those people nt
llriargato, nnd como back by the lanes;
nnd thou nil hour or so In the surgery
will finish my work, nnd I shnll have
an assistant, my dear. Tho agricultural
population gets very thick about Gray
bridge, and unless some olio tnkes pity
on tho poor people, nnd brings about
some improvement in tho places they live
In, we may look tor plenty of fever.
He went out nt tho little gate, and
Isabel watched him going along the lane.
llo wnlked n little slowor thnn usual,
and that was all. She watched him
with a quiet affection on hor fnce. There
was no possible phase of circumstances
by which slto could hnvo been over
brought to love him; but sho know that
ho was good, sho know that there wns
something praiseworthy in what ho was
doing to-night this resolute visiting of
wretched sick people.
It was not the knightly sort of good
ness sho had adored in tho heroes of her
choice; but It was good, and she ndmired
hor husband n little, in n calm, unenthu-
slnstlc manner ns sho might hnve nd
mired a very estiniablo grandfather, had
sho happened to possess such a relative.
She was trying to bo good, nnd all the
pontlniontal tenderness of her nature had
boon aroused by Goorgo s illness. Ilo
wns n more agreeable person lying faint
nnd languid in n shndod room, nnd re
quiring his head constantly bathed with
vinegar nnd water, tlinn wltcn in tno tun
vigor of health and clumsiness.
She finally walked out Into the lnnc,
wntcfllng for her husband's coming. Two
or three pooplo wont slowly by nt con
sldernblo intervals; and at last, when it
was growing quite dark, tho flguro of a
slouching country-built lad, loomed out
of tho obscurity.
"Ho this Muster Gilbert's tho doc
tor's?" ho asked or Isabel.
"Yes; do you want him?"
"I don'c want hhn; but I'vo got n let
ter for bis wifo from a man that's stay
ing up nt our plnco. He you she?"
"Yos; give mo tho lottor," answered
Isnbol, putting hor hand over tho gate.
Sho took tho nilssivo from tho baud of
tho boy, who resigned It In a slow, un
willing mnnner, nnd then slouched away.
Mrs. Gilbert put the letter in hor pocket,
nnd wont Into the h .uio. The doctor's
wife seated herself nt the llttlo table,, nnd
took the letter from hor pocket and toro
It open. It wns n very brief nnd uncere
monious kjud of epistle, containing only
theso words:
"I'vo found comfortable quartern, for
tho nonce, In n little crib down in Ness
brough Hollow. I suppose you know tho
plnco; nnd I shnll expect to see you In
the course of to morrow. Don't forget
tho sinews of war; and bo sure j on nsk
for Captain Morgan."
Thcro wns no signature. The letter'
wns written In n big, dnshlng hand,
which had sprawled recklessly over a
sheet of old-fashioned letter paper; It
seemed n riotous, Improvident kind of
writing, tbnt gloried in tho wasted fpacn
and squandered Ink.
"How cruel of him to como here I"
muttered Isabel, ns she toro the letter
Into n llttlo heap of fragments; "how
cruel of him to come! ns if I hnd not
suffered enough nlroady; as If tho misery
nnd disgrace had not boon bitter enough
and hard enough to benr."
Sho rested her elbows on tho tnble,
nnd sat quite still for some time, with
Jicr face hidden In her hands. Her
thoughts wore very painful; but, for
onco In n wny, thoy were not entirely
devoted to Roland Lnnsdell; nnd et tho
master of Mordrcd Priory did flguro In
that long reverie. Goorgo enrno In by
nnd by, nnd found her sitting In the atti
tude into which she hnd fallen nfter de
stroying the lottor. Sho had been very
anxious about her husband somo timo
ngo; but for tho last half hour her
thoughts hnd been entirely removed from
him; nnd sho looked up nt him confused
ly, nlmost startled by his coming ns if
he hnd been tho last person in tho world
whom sho expected to sec. Mr. Gilbert
dropped heavily into the nearest chnir,
like a mnn who feels himself powerless
to go ono step further.
"I'm very ill, Izzic," he said: "it's no
use mincing the matter; I am ill. I sup
pose Pawlkntt is right, nfter nil, nnd
I've got n touch of the fover."
"Shall I send for him?" asked Isa
bel, starting up; "he said I was to send
for him if you grew worse."
"Not on nny iccount. I know what
to do ns well as he does?. If I should
happen to got delirious by nnd by, you
enn send for him, because I dare say
you'd be frightened, poor girl, nnd would'
feel more comfortable with n doctor
pottering about mo. And now listen
to me, my dear, while I give you a few
directions; for my head fools like n ton-
weight, nnd I don't think I shnll bo nblo
to sit upright much longer."
Tho doctor proceeded to give his wife
nil necessary instructions for tho pre
vention of infection. Sho wns to hnvo
n separate room prepared for herself iiu
medintely; she wns to fumigate the room
in which ho was to He, in such nnd such
n mnnner. .Vs for nny nttendnnce upon
himself, that yould be Mrs. .leffson's
task.
Mr. Pawlkntt was summoned to his
rival's bedside early on the following
morning. George's case was quite out of
ids own hands by this time; for lie had
grown much worse in tho night, and was
fain to submit to whatever people pleas
ed to do with him. Ho wns very ill.
Isabel sat in the hnlf-darkoucd room,
sometimes rending, sometimes working
in the dim light ihnt crept through tho
curtain, sometimes sitting very quietly
wrapt in thought painful nnd perplex
ing thought. Sho wns very foolish slto
had boon very wicked but there wns a
deep fount of tenderness in Unit senti
mental essentially feminine breast; and
I doubt if George Gilbert wns not moro
lovingly watched by bis weak young
wife thnn ever ho could have been by a
strong-minded holpiunto, who would hnvo
frozen any lurking sentiment in Mr.
LnnsdeH's breast by one glance from
her nitiloss eyes. The doctor's wifo folt
n remorseful compassion for tho ntnn
who, nfter his own matter-of-fact fash
ion, hnd been very good to her.
Mrs. Gilbert sat nil' day in her hus
band's room; but nbout Tt in tho nftcr-
noon Goorgo foil inU n deep slumber,
in which Mr. Pawlkntt iound him a
little nfter 0 o'clock. Nothing could bo
better than that tranquil sloop, tho sur
L'eon snid; nnd when ho- wns gone, Mrs.
Jeffson. who had boon sitting In tho
room for somo time, nnxlous to bo of uso
to iter master, suggested that Isabel
should go downstnirs, nnd out Into tho
Karden to got a breath ot frosli air.
"Yos; 1 should like to go downstnirs
n little, if you think tbnt George Is suro
to sleep soundy for n long time; nnd I
know you'll take good caro of him. I
wnnt to go out somewhere not very fnr;
but I must go to-night."
"I should hnvo thought, it you wns
tho greatest gaddornbout that over was,
you'd have stnyed quietly at homo whllo
vour husband wns lying in, -Mrs. Hu
bert," she said, sharply; "but o( courso
you know your own business best."

The national civil service commis

for ambitious, well educated young

they can do better by seeking employ
ment in large corporations where
thoy can In time command Higher sal
aries than they can hope to get from

any other department of public llfo-
whom they tblnk they want they, will

would bo reluctant to give to tlia- in

and who deem it more of an honor to-

Tho man who has risen to tlie presi

pays tow salaries on tho average and
does not promise swift promotion to
men of marked capacity. Yet it gets
and holds '.he services of a largo num
ber of persons of xw mean ability who
aro competent to attend to its busi
ness. If it were competing with the
trusts nnd corporations In transporta
tion, manufacturing, bunking, and
merchandising it would need a class
of men It does not need now, and
would have to bid against its rivals
to get them. Let the corporations

Avho sco no greater object in llfo thnn

even if it does not hold out greater In
ducements than at present. Occasion
ally thero will bo grafters among

grafting. It prevails among tho high
salarlod presidents of great Insurance
