A DOCTOR'S MISSION
'Glehioy,"
CHAPTER IX. (Continued.)
"I atn very glad to hear it." exclaimed
atari, kindly, "it iwiii! like a pleasant
pot, and 1 think tbia purs, fresh air
Will benefit your health and spirits. I
also have settled here, haviDg bought a
practice."
"Shall we go to Sir Reginald now?"
returned the, at the end of their ani
aated conversation. "I presume he Is
awake by this time."
"Yea! at once, and I hope I iball find
him more easy than ba was this morn
tag." Dr. Elfenateln made quite a long call,
aa ha had much to do to make tin baro-
5 at comfortable for the night, and as
Ithel mw him handle the injured man
so gently, and soothe him with kind, en
couraging words, she felt tliKt he mint
possess a heart of almost womanly feel
ing, and her interest and admiration
deepened.
After Earle Elfenstein withdrew, a
late dinner was announced, aud in the
dining room Lady Couatanca pn-sented
t Ethel her nephew, Hobert Glenden
lng, and niece. Belle, his slater, the
trmer greeting her with rather an Inso
nt look of admiration, the latter with
bow cxpreive of haughty contempt,
From that moment Ethel saw that
aalther of these young people would pro
toots her happiness while she remained
Ktder this roof.
Mr. Glandennlng did converse with
tor, but it waa with such an evident air
ti conudeaeension that her replies were
brief and cold, while his sister remained
tilsnt during the whole meal, with the
ttoeption of answering one or two ques
tions a.'ked by Lady Constance, which
answers were given in a cold, mechanical
Way, that told of a mind preoccupied and
absent
The truth waa, this young lady was
urprised, aud not at all pleased, with
the introduction of such a rarely be.iuti-
ui girl into the home over which she
eld sway.
She was intensely proud and selfish,
nd felt that here might be an influenco
exerted upon her few admirers that
sight interfere with her prospects.
The prospects particularly in view at
present were tiie winning -of the heart
and hand of the new physician lately set
Bed in the place.
She had been introduced to him at the
Wtwe of a friend, and hnd admired his
aiegant bearing, handsome face and quiet
Banner, and instantly had resolved to
Uy siege to his heart.
After leaviug the table, the ladies re
wired to the piazza, followed by Mr.
Blandennltig. As Belle paused to pluck
from one of the vines a few flowers for
ksr neck, Lady Constance turned to
Bthal and remarked:
"I suppose you have no friends in
eVW vicinity, having but just arrived."
Ethel hesitated, while a faint blush
suffused brow and cheek as she replied:
"I have found one here very unexpect
edly. Dr. Elfenstein. We crossed the
Atlantic on the same vessel, and as my
fcont waa taken very HI during the voy
age he attended her, and consequently,
became well acquainted."
Instantly Belle's attention was riveted
7 those remarks, and with a sneer she
azclaimed:
"I presume, then, you waylaid him
able afternoon in order to renew the ac
laalntance." Tardon me!" replied Ethel, with dig
fctty. "I waylaid no one! We met cas
feajly on this piazza aa he was about
entering to aee Sir Reginald, and con
versed for a few moments."
"It seems to me for the future, when
Ey uncle's physician visits blm, it would
i well for you to remember that you
ftow occupy the position of a subordinate,
and therefor should not put on the airs
af in equal to attract Ma attention!" waa
the rnde and unladylike reply.
"Bells," interposed Lady Constance,
rho, with all her faults, was naturally
tlnd hearted and just, "you forget that
lis Nevergail In e lining to ns does not
ease to be a gentlewoman."
"Or, a gentlewoman's pooT relation!"
sras the cutting answer.
"A remarkably beautiful one, how
arer," said the brother. "Say, Belle,"
be added, teaxingly, "yon must take care
er she will carry off some of your beaux!"
The indignant girl gave him a glance
af withering scorn, but merely said, with
an angry toss of her head:
"Let hef tfcRniv how sha interfsres
frith me in any way! A word to the wi?e
sufficient"
Ethel could scarcely control her Indig
nant feelings, as she listened to these la
parting remarks Issuing from the lovely
Mm of the girlish speaker, but after so
effort ahe did control them, and without
a word turned away and again sought
Ike aids of the invalid.
Bat she found hi 31 irritable, and bard
la please, and the moments passed In his
toem became tntoieramy joug, ana she
sighed for the time to corns when ahe
amid retire to her own apartment, even
sttongh she knew a strange and annoy
toe duty mould follow ber there.
Finally the baronet told her If she
arts weary to go, adding harshly: "I am

lice," than more kindly, aa ha taw she
waa startled by bis rough way ol apeak

Iron book. This led to the rain, and
with a beating heart she opened It.
Close by the door she found a email
covered basket that she knew must con
tain what fie sought. Grasping it quick
ly, she again fastened the uoor, as Sir
Reginald had instructed ber to do, and
passed down the corridor.
There ahe found the entrance to the
tower, and resolving to take some bright
sunshiny day to visit this spot, she turn
ed, as she had been directed, to count out
the number of panela on the left hand
wall, and Immediately di--covered the
faint crack, that she knew must be what
she sought. Inserting the point of the
knife, she turned three times, when the
panels parted and there lay the shelves.
Opening then the basket, she found
food in small pieces, connisliiig of broken
biscuits, bits of chicken, potatoes, and
quite a quantity of neat, cut in mouth
ful. This she placed on the shelves
u;on the wooden plate on which it was
heaped. Then gently thovlng the shelves,
they slcwly whirled around, and when
the same side returned to ber, the plate
stood upon it empty, ready to be placed
again in the basket.
"That ape must have been trained,"
she thought, "to empty the plate and re
turn it!"
She listened for a moment, but all was
still. Shoving to the panels, she found
that they relocked themselves, so taking
up candlestick, knife and basket, she
placed the latter again outside the door,
fastened It securely, and reached her own
room in safety.
The task required of her hnd been a
singularly unpleasant one. She waa a
l.rave young girl, and had endured but
few feelings of fear, hut she had trem
bled, because the thing required so much
secrecy. She disliked mysteries of all
kind, and her honest, open nature re
volted from the w-bole work.
One thing she decided to do, she
should take tome morning hour to ex
plore the ruins, and that Haunted Tower,
so that ahe might become accustomed to
oil the dangers and teculiitrUies of the
place before jther oflices were required
at her hand
With thU .solution still In her mind,
sie sought tho luxurious bei that await
ed her, and tncre fell at once into a
pleasant sleep, Trorn which she never
aroused until he bright rays of another
mom in 5 sun stole Into her roo-m.
Springing up, she dressed as soon as
possible, and opeiiiiig her door, found
by questioning a maid, that the family
did not rise until late, as their breakfast
hour waa from ten to eleven.
All being quiet In the room of the in
valid, she returned to her own apart
ment, find fastening the door securely,
resolved at once to start upon her explor
ing expedition, as she felt that she would
be for at least an hour and a half unob
served, and mistress of her own time and
motions.
With a little of the trembling nerv
ousness of the night before, the brave
girl opened the intervening doors and
stepped into the corridor. All was fold
ed in the same solemn stillness that made
the place oppressive on the previous
niebL
She revived to explore the ruined
parts before she sought the tower, there
fore unhooked the door, and stepped out.
As she did so, she noticed that the cov
ered basket was still there.
The door opened directly into a small
rickety hall that led into several large
rooms, all dusty, mouldy and more or less
dilapidated. Urcken windows, torn wall
papers, bare rafters, seen through iin
rnense pieces where ceilinga had fallen,
were everywhere visible. Some rooms
were filled with broken furniture, pieces
of old clilna and fragments of time-worn
castoff cloU.iu g.
Ethel looked at these dilapidated ob
jects, and found herself wonderl-ig why
Sir Reginald had not had the whole pull
ed down and removed? Its destruction
certainly would heighten the value of the
property, while Its presence only spoke
of neglect and untidiness.
One thing she observed In her ramble
there was an eaay mode uf egress and lii
gvecs to this part into the ball, and
marks of recent footsteps on the floor
told that this formed the entrance pjacc
to the person who prepared and brought
the food she was nightly to place on the
iron shelves.
Another thing struck her; in all the
premises there was not the slightest ap
pearance of the concealed" room. Only a
bare, blank wall appeared npon the aide
where she knew it must be.
Retracing her a'.eps after all had been
examined, she refusteiied the door, and
then sought the Haunted Tower. The
door leading to this waa closed, bat not
bolted, so she opened It, and crossing
quite a Isrge square place, she began as
cending a long flight of stairs. The steps
were steep, and not at all easy, and she
became very tired before sbe resetted
the top, bat pressing on, she did reach it,
but not before she paused to rest upon a
broad flat landing; paused, too, with hor
ror, at an nnexpected sight that there
presented itself.
It was the stuffed Image of a man,
Gxed upon wires, that worked upon the
same principle as the Jumping jacks often
bought to amuse children.
Tbia, however, was nearly as large as
life; Its head waa hollow, wM red glass
In place where the eyes would be, so that
a lighted glass lamp, placed within
would give a flaming appearance to those
eyes.
From each side homs projected, and
she could easily imagine what the whole
terrific effect must be to an outside be
holder. Thai figure aba aaw could be
elevated and put In motion by winding
np a crank to which It waa attached. Ar
rangemerrta for different colored lights
ware also aa every band.
After carefully examining aft tba ma
cannery, aatll aha perfectly understood its
werklnga aad tba whole wicked plan to

stretched for miles end miles away oa

1 ing sbe would be seen by some of the
viilsgera, and her presence reported ta
Sir Reginald.
I This visit ahe knew would be displeas

CHAPTER XI.
Day after day paased, daring which
Ethel became quite accustomed to her
routine of work, and quietly persevered
in her dutiea. Nothing difficult to accom
plish waa required at her hands; nothing
beyond spending a couple of hours each
inornlna In her own room writing letters,
of which, sn abstract waa taken ft cm Sir
Reginald's own lips; then an boar or two
reading the dally papers for his em use
men t. Very often would be find a chance
to whisper the question!
"Io you perform your evening taaks
regulsrly and well? Does all go on aa
safely as I could wish 7"
Then when the answer came, "All goes
well," be would seem so satisfied and re
lieved that she felt almost happy In giv
ing the Information.
About a monoh after her arrival at
Ulendenuing Hall she had been reading
one afternoon a work in which he was
particularly interested, when she was in
lerrupted by the entrance of Dr. Elfen
stein.
As the baronet motioned to her to 1
main where she was during the inter
view, the regulnr nurse being absent.
and""as the doctor might need tome things
from ber hand, she became Interested In
the conversation that ensued.
Dr. Elfenstein was rather a small
talker, and this natural reserve tended to
make bis professional interviews at the
hall brief, and usually confined closely
to bis medical work.
But this morning he seemed to linger,
and converx-d quite freely upon many of
the topics of the day. Finally he com
menced giving an account of the aevere
storm that had swept over the country
the night before the baronet's accident,
and ended by relating bia own adven
tures, and what he had aeen in the tow-
"Sir Reginald, I .thought I would tell
yon this, and ask if you can explain the
meaning of the spectacle then manifest
ed?"
"I cannot," waa the reply Ethel watch
ed for with anxiety. "I am told by peo
ple far and near of strange appearances
in that tower, but I have nerer seen a
thing of the kind there myself, therefore,
put no faith in the story."
"Cut you may believe me, sir, when I
assure you such things are really to be
seen there. Now, In order to satisfy my
mind, and perhaps enable me to explain
the mystery to the frightened inhabitant,
I crave your kind permission to visit the
premises. Have I that permission?
"It is Impossible for me to grant It,
When these things were first whispered
about twenty-five years ago, we, as a
family, were exceedingly annoyed by con
stant visitors to the spot, and the thing
became ao much of a nuisance that it was
closed forever from all inspection. No,
you must Dot ask this, doctor, as I can
not cousent to the place being entered.
after bcins ro long sealed. As It la, take
my word for it, and be satisfied. It la
merely a vagary of the brain, an optical
delusion, something better to be forgot
ten."
lr. Elfenstein said no more, bat In
wardly resolved to pay a surreptltio
visit there, if not a permitted one, as thla
mystery he determined should be unra
eled.
As he rose to leave, be happened to
glance towards the young girl opposite
to him. and uw her head bent low over
the book she held, while a sad and pained
expressiou bad floated over her speaking
face.
After the reading had concluded, the
baronet said he would excuse her further
attendance upon him, therefore she start
ed out for a ramble over the grounds.
She had not gone far, before ahe re
gretted having done so, aa she waa join
ed a short distance from the house by
Robert Glend.-nning, a person fJie instinc
tively disliked.
Tbia young man was a great admirer
of a pretty face, and from the first look
into Ethel's speaking eyes, and upon
her re. beauty, he bad acknowledged

e.f(-rtv jiet the standard of the beautiful

w-lth such a suit, so that the one-tone

No one feature of the stops' current

with handling, for they excite a deal of

them, and considering that prices are
rartier hiirher than usual for such out

to lie a big factor in stylish dressing tbia

she who mut make one wrap do will
want a pretty ons. She won't have to
look far to wiHsfy that requirement, for
the whole display is marked by eicellent
taste. Her ideas of price will cut out
nearly all the richer garments, but the
thought tht few of tliese are suited to

becoming confused in the large and va
