ho said. M)o you know, strange as It

he concluded, turning abruptly away.
After a short Interval ho came back
to her side again, and went on with a
forced cheerfulness that In nowise de
ceived her.
"However." he said, "of courso this
state of affairs will not last forever.

Mildred, that whatever you do, or

"Are you sure you forgive me?"
whispered Mildred, tremulously.
"Think of all that has happened."
"I do, Indeed," he salit.
"Will you not kiss me then?" whis

So he kissed her once again, for tho

CHAPTER XVIII.
Denzll did not appear to recover
quite so rapidly as had been at first
confidently expected, the Inward in
juries he had received though slight
tolling on him more seriously than
the doctors had anticipated.
Mrs. Younge had been telegraphed
for on tho evening of the accident, and
had arrived at King's Abbott early
tho following morning, having elected
to travel all night rather than enduro
tho agonies of suspense, though the
telegram had been very reassuring.
Tho third day showed their patient
apparently better than on the preced
ing one. There had been more decided
symptoms of amendment, and ho had
gono through tho dressing of his
wounds with wonderful composure and
stoicism. Hut toward evening ho grew
depressed and Irritable, and evinced
n faint Inclination to wander; where
upon the doctor looked grao, shook
his head and mndo certain chnuges in
his medicine but all io no purpose.
Tho next day he was in a raging fovcr.
Tho fifth day afier tho fever first
declared Itself Lady Caroline, having
Insisted on the poor mother's lying
down for nn hour or two, was sitting
In DenzH's loom as tho time wore on
toward evening. Bending over his bed.
sho noticed a certain change In his
face
"What Is It?" she asked, tenderly.
"Mildred." ho whispered, with deep
entreaty In his tone, and holding out
his hand.
"I am not Mildred, dear Denzll,"
said Lady Caroline, thinking that he
still raved; but he said:
"I know you are not." qulto distinct
ly; anil then again, "I want her why
does she never come to me?"
Poor Lady Caroline was greatly per
plexed; she knew not what to do. Had
tilings been different she would have
followed the dictates of her own kind
heart and sent for Mildred on the spot;
but, ns It was, she remembered former
scenes and Lyndon'a recent sad do
pailuro and did not caro to take tho
responsibility on herself of bringing
her daughter anil Denzll together.
"Mildred. Mildred!" called tho sick
man, impatiently: and then tho littlo
ray of reason that had come to him In
connection with her face vanished, and
he wandered off once more into tho tci
rlble feverlnnd. bearing with him tho
name of her ho loved.
For two houis ho lay thus, calling,
Kmiotlnies wildly, sometimes feobly,
hut always for her, until his loving
nurse's heart was smitten to thn core.
At length camo Stubber, tho family
doctor, and, seeing Denzll In this state,
ho regarded him silently for several
minutes.
"Uuly Caroline," said ho, with de
cision, "Miss Trevanlon must bo Bent
for, be It right or wrong."
For which Lady Carollno blessed
him secretly, and sent for Mlldied
forthwith.
Sho camo without a moment's delay,
and, even as her foot crossed tlio
threshold of the door, a midden sllenco
fell on Denzll. He turned tho fover
for a time sank conquered while his
beautiful eyes lit up with passltm.ito
expectation and fond hopo.
Slowly and with hesitation Mildred
advanced to the sldo of tho be I, and
then Lady Caroline went over Jto tho
Slubber, stnndlng with their backs to
the bed, nnd their faces turned to tho
chilly outer world, could toll nothing.
When at length they returned to tho
bed they found Mildred pale and trem
bling, the heavy tears coursing each
other down her checks In rapid suc
cession, which sho hastily brushed
nwny as they drow nearer her, h"r
hand tightly clasped In DenzH's. 11"
had even made an effort to hold her
with the poor Injured fingers, nud hnd
brought them so far that tho tip
touched hers.
Ho was I'lilte sane now. Ills face,
slightly Hushed, was looking upward;
his eyes, glad nnd happy, wero fixed
on hers, while she answered back the
gaze, forgetful of all else but that ho
lay before her sick, It might be, unto
death.
"Denzll, you are exciting yourself,"
said Iaily Caroline, nervously.
"No, I am not," answered Denzll, his
voice clear and dlctlnct, but without
removing his eyes from Mildred's;
"leave me for a moment."
Ho waved them back Impatiently to
the window, and neither Lady Caroline
nor the doctor could bring themselves
to disobey the command.
Hut Slubber, who was becoming seri
ously uneasy about his patient, glanc
ing round at him cautiously and sur
reptitiously, saw what followed. He
said that when ho and Lady Caroline
hnd again withdrawn, Denzll looked
nt Miss Trevanlon, and that then Miss
Trevanlon stooped and kissed him, not
once, but twice.
This was what Stubbor said, but he
also added that It was his firm belief
that sho did It out of pure humanity
and nothing more. When two minutes
later, ho again approached Younge, he
found that Mildred had disappeared,
and that Denzll was lying perfectly
composed, his faco turned toward the
half-open door. He sighed heavily but
contentedly, nnd then came back to tho
realities of llfo.
"Doctor Stubbor," said he, "do you
know that I am better?"
"Timo will tell." answered tho littlo
doctor, sontentlously; "and now you
must go to sleep If you wish to keep
In thnt much-to-be-deslred condition.
Lady Caroline, I trust to you to let
no more young ladles Into tho room
this evening."
Denzll laughed quite rationally, nnd,
changing over to tho other side, In a
few minutes, fell Into a sound, refresh
ing slumber,
Not once ngaln during nil the re
mainder of his illness did Miss Trev
anlon enter DenzH's room; neither did
ho ask for nor alludo td her In any
way, although Lady Carollno noticed
tho intense look of Interest that camo
Into his face whenever her name was
casually mentioned.
After a week or two, tho remem
brance of her visit faded, or came to
him only ns a shadow from tho fevered
past ho had gone through, nnd not un
til tho doctor hnd given him permis
sion to quit his bed for an hour or so
every day, to lie on a lounge In tho
adjoining apartment, did he venture
to speak of It and try to discover tho
truth.
It was one morning, when he wns
feeling considerably stronger, nnd had
Mabel beside his couch, reading to him
scraps of poetry that every now, and
then struck her fancy ns she glanced
through the volumo in her hand, that
ho approached tho subject.
"Is your sister away from homo?"
he asked, In the middle of a most pa
thetic passage.
And Mabel answered "No," redden
ing a little.
"Then I think she might have como
to see me beforo this," ho said, with
all the fretfulness of nn invalid.
"Well, you see, she. has all tho house
keeping to nttend to. now mamma Is
so much your slave,'1 returned Mabol,
smiling; "that keeps her away. Sho
always asks for you, though, nnd Is so
glad to hear of your getting un so rap
idly." This sounded rather lame, nnd Ma
bel, feeling It to bo so, tried onco more
to resort to her book.
"I suppose It would glvo her too
much troublo to make her Inquiries In
person," ho snld, bitterly; "everyone
else comes to seo ma except herself.
Surely Lyndon could not object to
that?"
"Havo you not heard, then?" asked
Mabel, hesitatingly. "I fancied you
would havo known beforo this. Her
engagement with Lord Lyndon Is at an
end. Ho has been abroad for tho last
four weeks."

hurriedly; "you aro looking very pala.
Your mother will say It In nil my fault
when cho cornea in. Llo back amongst
your cushions comfortably, and 1 will
go on with my reading."
"No," Interrupted Denzll, putting his
hand hastily over tho opan page. "I
am tired of reading." Then, with ft
short laugh "I am afraid you think

Sho said nothing of her mnrrlage. how

"It Is almost urranged to take plnco
next month," observed Mabel.
"Queenlc," said Denzll, in n low
voice, "tell mo this when did I last

"It was sho that saw you fall and
went to your assistance, you know,"
returned "tho queen" evasively.
"I know that," said Denzll "your

with considerable confusion, turning
to nrrango some flowers on tho small

mured Denzll, disappointedly, and said
no more on the subject to his com
panion's great relief. Hut tho next day
he tormented little Stubber to allow
him to go down-stairs.

"Mis. MoKinley'h physicians stnto

The e.ainlnatlon of Mrs. McKinley's
