Mr. Rayner had entered the room so soft- ly that we had not heard him, "You look tired, my dearest Lola," said he, gently; "you had better go and lie down for a little while." At the sound of her husband's voice Mrs. Rayner had shrank back into her usual statueeque se'f, like a sensitive plant touch- ed by rough fingers â€" so quickly too, that for a moment I almost thought, as I glanced at the placid, expressionless face, that I must have imagined the look of despair and the gesture of invitation. I timidly offered to read her to sleep, but she declined at once, almost abruptly for her, and, with tome conveutional thanks for my trouble, took the arm her husband held out, thanked him as he carefully wrapped round her a little shawl that she generally wore, and left the rooom with him. After that, her reserve towards me was greater than ever she seemed reluctant to accept the smallest service of common court- esy at my bands, ani refused my offers to read to her again, under the plea that it was wasting my time, as she was barely well enough to listen with full attention. I was hurt as â- well as puzzled by this and, being too youns; and timid to maUe any further advances, the distance bet,wten me and the silent, sad lady grew greater than ever. An attempt that Mr. Rayner made two days after the above scene to draw us to- gether only sent us farther apart. He came mto the school'-oom just as Haidee ani I were finishing the day's lessons, and, after a few playful questions about hc-r studies, dis- missed her into the garden. "The child is very like her mother in face don't you think so " said he. "But I am afraid she will never have her mother's strength of intellect. I see you cannot help looking surprised, Miss Christie. My wife does not give herself the airs of a clever wo- man. But you would not have doubted it if you had known her five years ago," He was in one of those moods of almost embarrassing frankness, during which the only thing possible was to sit and listen qui- etly, with such sparing comment aa would content him. "I dare say," he continued, "it will seem almost incredible to you, who have never heara her say more than is absolutely neces- ary, but she was one of the mot brilliant talktrs I have ever met, and four years ago she wrote a book which took London by storm. If 1 were to tell you the nom de â- p^ume under which she wrote, you would be afraid of her, for it became at once a sort of proverb for dar ng of thought and ex- pression. People who did not know her made a bogy ot her, and many people who did looked with a sort of superstitious awe upon this slight, fair woman who dared to write out what she thought and believed. But they had no idea what a senaitive na- ture lay under the almost masculine intel- lect. We had a boy then" â€" his voice seemed to tremble a little â€" "two years older than Haidee. The two children had been left in the country â€" in the best of care, mind â€" while my wife and I spent the season in town it was a duty she owed to society then, as one of its brightest ornaments. We heard that the boy was not well but we had no idea that his illness was serious. I assure you. Miss Christie" â€" and he spoke with touching earnestness â€" "that, if my wife had known there was the slightest dan- ger, she would have flown to her child's side without a thought of the pleasures and ex- citement she was leaving. Well â€" I can scarcely speak of it even now â€" the child died, after only two days' illness, away from us. It was on her return from a ball that my wife heard of it. She 8a»k down into a chair, dumb and shivering; without a word or a tear. When at last we succeeded in rousing her from this state, she took off her beautiful jewels â€" you have hsard she was an heiress â€" and flung them from her with a shudder of disgust. She has never looked at them since." He paused for a few minutes, and I sat waiting for him to continue, too much inter- ested to say much. "I hof^^ed that the depression into which she sank would wear off but, instead, it only grew deeper. I have told you before that by an arrangement on our marriage our .settled home was in the country after her boy's death my wife would never even visit town again. When M(.na was Ion, ja,-t before we came to this pine, a change came, but not the chang3 that I had expected. 1 had licped si in life, and, pi rhaps, a loy to replace the cue she h.d lost, it would have been so. Instead :f that, her apathy deepened, until now, as ycu see, she shuts herself from all the world a-r.d raises a barritr between hersLlf and the life arouud her which to str^ingers is often insurm-junt- able. I have ccea looking fcr an opportun- ity to tell you this, Miss Christio, as I was afraid you might have been puzzled, ani perhaps otlended, by h-;r strange manner the other day when you Mt reading to her. When 1 came in, I thought you looked rather frightened, and 1 supposed that some- thing you had read had recalled the grief which is always slumbering' at her heart, and perhaps led to cne of those outbreaks which sometimes cause cie the gravest, the very gravest, anxiety." I understood what he meant bat I would not allow myself to appear alarmed by ihe suggestion. Mr. Rayner went on â€" "I fancied I caught sight of a wild look in her eyes, which is sometimes called up in them by a refertnoe to the past, or even by a sudden vivid flash of memory. At such times only I, with the power of my long-tried affection, can calm her instantly. Do not imagine that she would ever be vio- lent, but she might be incoherent enough to frighten ou. Tell me, had she said any- thing that day before I came in which al- armed or puzzled you " "No, Mr. Rayner; she scarcely spoke while I read to her." "Was there anything in what you were reading likely to call up memories of the dreadtal time to which I have alluded " "I think not. Noâ€" none." "I n«ed nc4 warn you, my dear Miss ' Christie, to avoid all reterence to that sub- ject, or anything that might anggest it, in talking to her, bat of course without any appeaxance of constraint. And I am sure such a sensible ^irl as yon are will not take needless fright at this unhappy dieclosure, which I thomght it safer to make to yon, .5,3 that I had expected, ".e wuiild reawaken to interest if the child had been trusting in your discretion. I still hope that in time she may recover her old health and spirits, consent to see people, and even move away from this place for a little change, which I am sure would do her good. I have begged her to do so over and over again, al.vays unsuccessfully. I cannot bear to be harsh to her but there is an iron strength of resistance in that woman of strong intellect and weak frame which, I confess, even I have not yet been able to overcome. If you will allow me to advise yon, do not mention that subject either to her. One of my reasons tor wishing for a youns; governess was that I might provide her in an unobtrusive manner with cheerful societ}' and let her get accustomed to seeing a bright young face about her but I am afraid her obstinate reserve has so far de- feated my object. However, I don't des- pair. Now that you know something of her history, you are more likely to sympathise with her and make dome allowance for her seeming coldness. Believe me, underneath all she has a warm heart still. 4^nd I am Eure you will spare a little sympathy forme, condemned to see the wife I adore living a shut up life, as it were, seeming to ignore the undying affection of which she^ust still be conscious." • There was something so winning in his voice and manner as he said these last wor^ls that I felt for the moment even more sorry for him than for hei;, and I took the hand he held out as he rose to go, and looked up with all ihe frank sympathy I felt. He seemed touched by it, for, as if by a sudden impulse, he stooped and let his lips lightly touch my hand then, pressing it once more in his, with a look of almost grateful kindness, he left the room. I was a little s"rpri8ed by this demonstra- tion, which I thought rather out of pl.ce to a dependant. But he was an impulsive man, the very opposite in all things to his cold, statuesque wife, and the union between them seemed sometimes like a bond between the dead and the living. When I thought over all that he had told me, after he had left the room, it was im- possible, even setting apart my natural in- clination as a woman to put the blame on the woman, not to come to the conclusion that the fault in tbia most uncomfortable household was chiefly on the side of Mrs. Rayner. I had never seen a more attentive, long-suffering husbind, nor a moie coldly irritating wife. From all I had seen, I judged that Mr. Rayner was a sociable man, particularly alive to sympathy, fond of con- versation and the society of his fellow-men. To such a man the sort of exile his wife's obstinate reserve and dislike to society con- demned him to must have been specially hard to bear with patience. It was true he scoffed at the society the neighborhood offer- ed, and made ine laugh by his description of a country dinner-party, where one could almost predict with certainty what each lady would wear, and where more than half the gentlemen were clergymen, and how the talk would drift after dinner into clerical "shop," and one of the ladies would play a colorless drawing room piece on the piano, and one of the gentlemen â€" a curate nearly alwaysâ€" would sing an unintelligible song, in a husky voice, and when told â€" by a lady â€" how well it suited his style, would reply modestly that Sintley's songs always did. But 1 fancied that, dull as it might be, Mr. Rayner would have been glad of more of even such society as the neighb ^rhood afforded and, from the bitterness with which he laughed at the paltry pride of small country gentlemen, I begen to imagine that he must have been snubbed by some among them. The first Sunday after my arrival was so wet that we could not go to church, so that I had been there a fortnight before I saw a general gathering of the inhabitants. But on the V ery day previous to this event I had an encounter with two of the ladies of the neighborhood which left a most unfavorable impression upoa my mind, Haidee and I were taking our morning walk, when a big Newfoundland doe rushed through a g^p in the hedge and frightened my poor little pupil so much that she began to scream. Then a young girl of about fourteen or fif- teen, to whom the dog* belonged, cime up to the hedge, and said that she was sorry he had frightened the child, but that he would not hurt her. And she and I, having sooth- ed Haidee, exchanged a little talk about the fields and her dog, and where the first black- berries were to be found, before we pirted, my pupil and I going by the road while the girl remained in the field. We were only a few steps apart when I heard the voice of another girl addressinc her rather sharply, "Who was that you were talkiug to, Alice ' The answer was given in a lower voice. "Well, the other went on, "you should not have spoken to her. Djn't you know she comes from the house ou the marsh " ClIAPfER III. The shcck given me by those few over- heard words â€" "You should not have spoken to her. Djn't.you kn ijie comes from the house on the i " was so great that I lay awake halt the n g'lt, at first trying to r«3oncile Mr. Iliyners p. tietic story with the horror of everything cjnnected with the Alders expressed Dy the gir to her compan- i-n, and then asking myself whether it would be wise to stay in a house to which it was plain that a mystery of some sort was clinging. At last, when my nerves were calmed somewhat an-l I beg»n to feel sleepy, I made up my mmd'to set down those un- lucky words as the prejudiced utterance of some narrow-minded country girl, to whom the lea^t touch of unsnnventionility seemed a dreadful thin?. However, I could not dismiss the utterance at oace from my mind, and the remembrance of it ahaipjned my attention to the manner of the balutatioos that Mr. Riyner exchanged with his neigh- bors next day. Although Galdham church wa? only a abort distance from the Alders, Mrs Riyner was not strong enough to walk so she and her husband drove there in the brougham, while Haidee and I went on foot. We started before them, and Mr. Rayner was carefully helping his wife out of the carriage when we got to the gate. There was noth- ing noticeable in the way in which they bowed to one person, shook hands with an- other, exchanged a few words with a third then we all went into the little church, which had betn erected but a few years, aftd of which one aisle was still unbuilt. There was a square fauily pew Jut in front of ours, which was empty wben we took our seats but, when I rose from my knee*. I found fixed upon me, with astraight- forward and not very friendly stare, the round, grey eyes of a girl two or three years older than myself, whom I recognized as the owner of the vMce which had sai-1 of me, "Don't yoa know she comes from the house on the marsh " By her side, therefore also facing me, was the younger sister with whom I had talked she avoided meeting my eyes, and looked rather uncomfortable. As for me, I felt that I hated them both, and was glad when the gentleman who was evidently their father changed his position so that he almost hid them from my sight. Next to him sat a stout lady, who wore a black silk mantle covered with lace and beads and a white bonnet trimmed withytl- low b W8 and unlikely clusters of roses. My heart sank curiously when I caught side of the third person in the row. at the farther end of the pew. It was Mr. Laurence Reade, my frit n I of the dog-cart and I felt as if a trusted ally had suddenly proved to be an officer in the enemy 's camp. H v- ing found myself in an uncongenial house- hold, I had unconsciimly looked forward to seeing again, at some time or other, the only person I had met since I came to Nor- folk to whom no association of mystery or melancholy were attached. And now to meet him with those horrid girls He was their brother evidently, for the elder har- pooned him sharply several times for dozing durin.^ the service but, when the s^rmcn began and he had settled himself sidewa/s in the coiner with the plain intention of sleeping thronph the entire discourse, and the devout girl made a desperate lunge at him to rouse him once for all, he quietly took the weapon from her and kicked it under the seat. I rejoiced at this, and so missed trie text, which wai given out during the struggle. And then 1 missed a treat deal of the sermon, for I was growing unhappy in my new home, and, as the preaching of one clergyman, especially if you are not listening particularly, sounds much like the preaching of another, it was easy to shut my eyes and fancy myself sitting with my mother in church at homa in L ndon. Pres- ently, happening to glance around me, I caught sight of Mr. Laurence Reade in the corner of the next pew, with his arms fold- ed, his legs crossed, and his head thrown back and, if it had not been so very un- likely, I should have thought that be wais not really asleep, but that through his half- shut eyelids he was looking at me. When the sermon was over, and we filed out of church, I noticed tha*. ol i Mr. Reade exchanged a few words with Mr." Rayner rather stitHy, while the two girls deliber- ately turned their heads away from us.' But Mr. Laurence R^iade hung back behind the rest of his family, and stooped to speak to Haidee, who was holding my hand. He asked her to give him a kiss, and she refus- ed â€" and I was very glad. Of course it was my duty to rebuke her for rudenjss, and to tell her to accept; the attention with grati- tude but, iu'itead, I looked carefully the other way and pretended not to be aware of the little comedy. "Oh, Haidee, you shouldn't turn away from your friends," said he, in his musical voice, with rather more of grave reproach than the occasion required â€" to a child. Mr. ftiyner was on tho churchyard path a little way in front of us, talking to the schoolmaster, the clergyman, ani two or three of the gentlemen of the parish. He was trying to persurde them to s«art a pen ny bank, and was pointing out to them the encouragement it would give to habits of thrift, and offered to take the most of the trouble of starting it into his own hands. The spirit of inactivity ruled at Grildham; there was no energetic curate to scandalise people by insisting that to doze through one sermon a week was but a, negligent way of caring for their souls the la»t vestry-meet- ing had dwindled into a spelling-bee, at which the doctor had been ruled out for putting only one 't" in • committee," and had gone home vehemently a%-ming that his was the right way, and that of the schoolmaster, his colleagues, and the dic- tionary, the wrong. It was curious tn note now how they all listened coldly at first, with an aversion to the proposal strengthened by their dislike to the man who pn p-)sed it, and how, over- come by an irres siib;e charm in his manner of arguing as much as by the arguments themaelvcP, they one by one from lis' le^s be- came interested, and not obly agreed to the scheme being started, but to taking each some sma 1 share in setting it on fco' Then, parting cordially with iha man the'v had gre ted so coldly, they al dispersed and Mr. K ;yner, handsome, bright, pleased with his little triumph, turned to his wife and led h- r to the carriagp, while Hiadee and 1 returned as we cameâ€" on foot. H-i was very severe indeed t'ery upon rustic ner, wilK and rustic governors during diou^x calling them sheep and donkeys and other things. Then he grew merry and made jokes about them, and Ilaughel and find ing m me an appreciative listener, his' spir- its rose still higher, and I thought before dinner was over that I had never heard any- one talk more amusingly. I think Mrs Xiyner made only one remark, and that was when I was furtively wiping some tears of laughter from my eyes she asked me- Uo you care to go to church, this afser- noon.

It was a sultry summer afternoon, with a heavy clouded sky bat it was jAeaMiit to be oat of doora, md it was pleasant to be alone; for I found the society of little Haidee, whose shyness and reserve with me had not worn off yet, rather depressing sometimes â€" I had even oried a little at night over the diflSculty I had in making the child fond of me. So that to be quite alone and out of the sombr« atmosphere of the Aiders was quite a relef. I pasted the gates of a park, amr ng the trees of which 1 saw a big square white house surrounded by a flower- garden ani a little further on I saw an A-nericsn chair en the grass under the park trecH, and a young man in a light suit, with his cravat hanging loose and his hat off, ly- ing at full length m it. He had a cigar in his mouth nd a gaudy-covered book in his hand, and on a rustic table beside him was a half-empty glass ccntaining some liquid and I could see that there was ice in it. Of course I only glanced that way, but I recog- nized the gentleman as Mr. Laurence Reade; and I could not help smiling to myself as I wrnt on. He saw m», I think, for he start- ed up and coughed but I was looking the other way, and I thought it best not to bear him. As I turned the angle of the park, I glanced again at the white house, and I saw, with a little surpriiie, Mr. R tade luuning to- wards it, 1 got to church in very good time, and, being given a seat in the chancel, I could watch the country people as they filed in and, just as the last wheezy sound from the organ was dying away before service began, Mr. Laurence Reade, having exchanged his light suit for church-going attiru, strode up the middle aisle and banged the door of his pew upon himself. And, remembering how nice the i;ed drink looked aud how cosy the arm-chair appeared, I thought it did him great credit to come to church the second time. The sky had grown very dark by the time service was over, and the occasional rolling of distant thunder threatened a storm. A few heavy drops fell as I stepped out of the church door, and my heart sank at the thought of the ruin a good shower would work upon my best gown, a light gray meri- no. It was nearly half an hour's walk to the Alders my way lay along lanes and across fields where there was little or no shelter, and my umbrella was a small one. However there was nothing to be done but to start, hoping that the storm would not break with any violence before I got home. I had left all chance of shelter well behind me, when the rain came pouring down like sheets of water, with a sharp hissing sound which made my heart sink wiihin me. I stopped, gathered up my skirt round me, gave a glance round to see that no one was m sight, being aware that my appearance would be neither gracefal nor decorous, and then ran for my life. E rore I had gone many yards, I heard sime one running after me. and then Mr. Reade's voice calling, "Miss Christie " I ran on without heeding him, ashamed of my plight but he would not take the rebuff, and in a few more steps he had caught me up, and. taking away my small umbrella, was holding his large one over me. He opened a gate to the right that led into a field with a rough lart-track alongside the hedge. " But this is the wrong way. I have to turn to tbe left, I know," said I. " There is a shed for carts here where we shall get shelter," said he. And in a few minutes we reached it, and I found myself sitting under a low roof on the red shaft of a cart, watching the down pour outside, while Mr. Reade shook the rain from our umbrellas. A few days be- fore I might have found something to enjoy in this curious encounter with my friend of ihe dog-cart bat the rudenesss and sus- picion of his sisters had made me shy with him. So I merely sat there and looked straight in front of me, while he. infected by my reserve, leant against the side of the shed ano looked at me. I could secâ€" aa one sees so many things, without lookingâ€" the rain-drops falling one by one frem the low roof on to his hat but I would not tell him of it. Things went on like this for some minutes until a bright flish of lightning d; zzled me and made me cry "Oh 1" " You arc frightened. L3t me stand in front of you," said forward. life.

Again, the medicinal uses of cinohoni-bark were kno^-n first to the indigenous inhahi- tants of the Peruvian Andes, where the trees are native and where the ague is com- mon and it was the Jesuits who introduced U widely into Europe (16201 and the East The story of the reception of this remedy br the medical profession has its unpleasant side. The arch-stupidities of the Pari! faculty, who still live for the amusement of the world in Moliere's comedies, opposed li with their united weight. Court physiciaw in other European capitals than France as- sailed it with abuse, and no one wrote more nonsense about it than Gideon Harvey, the physician of Charles II. The new remedy apart from its merits, fell in with the views ol the Pararelsists, and disagreed with the views of the Galenists, and was recommenc- ed or condemned accordinuly. Even tbe great Stahl, nearly a century after cinchocs was first brought to Spain, would have nooe of it, and, in his servitude to his theories, k even went so far as to make use of Gideon Harvey's ignorant tirade against the drw by reprinting it in German. As late as 1729, an excellent physician ofBreslan, Km- old, whose writines on epidemics are still valuable for their comprehensive grasp, dfr dared in his last illness (a "pemiciow quartan" that he would sooner die vta I make use of a remedv which went so direct against his principles The world, of course, gave little heed to those inare dis- putations the value of cinchona was be- 1 yond the power of the faculty either to dis- cover or to obscure. But, on behalf of tbf faculty, it remains to add that cincbona found powerful advocates from the first and it will not surprise any to be told tliJi these were generally the men whom medical history, on other grounds as well, has es- tolled or, at any rate, .-sived from oblivion. Such were Sydenham and Morton in Lon- don, Albertini in Boloena, Peyer in SjIim- hausei:, and Werlhotl in Hanover. Tiie therapeutic position of cinchona was firmly established by Torti'a treatise on the treat- 1 ment of periodical fever?, published at Mr- ciena in 1709.
