It was very hard for mo, Martin. I was ten times more vexed than you are to give up your room to- Miss Daltrey. It was my only comfort to go and sit there, and think of my dear boy.” “Never mind, never mind,” I answered. “I am at home now, aud you will never be left alone with them again—nevermore, mother." I retreated to the spare room, fully satisfied that I should dislike Miss Daltrey quite as much as my mother could wish, Binding that Julia prolonged her down-stairs, I went out after a while for a stroll in the old garden, where the trees Slid shrubs had grown with my growth, and were as familiar as human friends to me.

CHAPTER XXVII. A NEW PATIENT. In ono sense time seemed to be standing still with me, so liko were the days that fol¬ lowed the one to the other. But in another sense those days fled with awful swiftness, for they were hurrying us both, my mother tud me, to a great gulf which would soon, far too soon, lie between us. Every afternoon Julia came to spend an tour or two with my mother; but her ar¬ rival was always formally announced, and it was an understood thing that avoid I should immediately quit the room, to meet¬ ing her. There was an etiquette in her re¬ sentment which I was bound to observe. What our circle of friends thought, had become a matter of very secondary con sideration to me; but there seemed a gen eral disposition to condone my offenses, in riew of the calamity that was hanging by a mere thread above me. I discovered by iheir significant remarks that it had been Unite the faskion to visit Sark during the summer, bv the Queen of the Isles, which l’ardif’s made the passage every Monday; and of that cottage had been an object at traction to many of my relatives of every Segree. Few of them had caught even a glimpse of Olivia; and I suspected that she had kept herself well out of sight flooded on Ihose days when the weekly steamer island ' the with visitors. I had not taken up any of my old patients again, for I was determined that everybody should feel that mv residence at home was only temporary. But about ton days after my return the following note was brought to me, directed ia full to Hr. Martin Do bree: A lady from England, who is only a visitor in Guernsey, will he much obliyed hy Dr. i,obrf : e C11 j lm 2 u P on her, at Rose a'slkbt indisposition?^ , anAnSwte* "i” senior byname an-i reputation, she would feel jrreat contidenco in the skill of Dr. Senior's l'riend. I wondered for an instant who fhe stranger could be, and how she knew the Seniors; but as there could be no answer to these queries without visiting the lady, I resolved to go. llose Villa was a house where the rooms were let to visitors during the season, and the Yauvert Hoad was scarcely five minutes'walk from our house, Julia was paying her drily visit to iny mother, and I was at a loss for something to do. so I went at once. I found a very handsome, fine-looking woman; dark, with hair and eyes as black as a gypsy's, and a clear olive complexion to match. Her forehead was low, hut smooth and well shaped; and the lower part of hei face, handsome as it was, was far more de voioped than the upper. There was not a trace of refinement about her features; yet the coarseness of them was but slightly ap parent as yet. She did not strike mo as having more than a very slight ailment, in deed, though she dilated fluently about hei symptoms, and affected to be afraid * fever, it is not always po -ci- /i„„r - “ has vio.ent , that a woman a - . ’ where the pulse is a.l rig 1 . o clean, it is c.ear s«3»u enong threatening • , n he.. - My J anything very did not ? new patient she attrac inspire ed m Bymparhy; but ’ and interested me b_. the i 8 , • ■ . beauty. “You Guernsey people are very stiff with strangeis, ” s:.e remarked, as I sat opposite obser to her, r^r r ang her with that close vation whicu is permitted to a doctor. ■ r,° the world says, I answered. 01 course I am no good ;u lg:-, for we Gaeru Bey people heueve ou.se.ves as perfect as class of Lh; human family.

I looked at her more earnestly ; and critically. She was not a person 1 should like Olivia to have anything to d« | with. A coarse, ill-bred, bold woman, whose eyes met mine unabashed, and did 1 uo t blink under mv scrutiny. Could she bo Olivia's step-mother, who had been the ru n of her life? “I’d beta hundred to one you know her, * ; she said, laughing and showing all hei , white teeth. “A girl liko her couldn’t gc about a little poky place liko this without all the young men knowing her. Perhaps she loft tho island iu the spring. I haw asked, at all the drapers’ shops, but nobody recollects her.

Stay, I cat show yon her photograph.” hands exquisite She put into my an por trait of Olivia, taken in Florence. Then was an expression of quiet mournfulnea in the face, which touched mo to the cor j of my heart. I could not put it down am speak indifferently about it. My heai ^ wildly, and I felt templed to run off -G’ h the treasure and return no more to ibis woman, “Ah! you recognize her! she exclaimed, triumphantly. I such Guernsey," never saw a person in f answered, looking steadily into her face. Y siffion and gloomy expression came icross it, and she snatched the portrait out )f my hand, ‘but '*^H>n^n»nCto I defy Treejf do & it. a'secret,'" lam she said, hero , you to come lo find her, and find her I will. She hasn’t drowned herself, and the earth hasn’t .wallowed her up. I’ve traced her as far is here, and that I toll yon. She crossed in the Southampton boat one dreadfully stormy night last October-tho only lady passenger-and the stewardess recollects her well. She landed hero. You must know something about her. ” “I assure you I never saw that girl here,” I replied evasively. “What inquiries have you made after her?” •Tve inquired here, and there, and every where,” she said. “I’ve done nothing else ever since I came. It is of great impel tance to her. as well as to me, that I should find her. It’s a very anxious thing when a girl like that disappears and is never heard of again, all because she has a little differ race with her friends. If you could help me to find her you would do her family a rery great service.” “Why do you fix upon me?” I inquired. ‘Why did you uot send for ono of the rcsi lent doctors? I left Guernsey some time ' tgo.” “You here winter, ” said, were last sho 'and you’re a young man, and would notice her more.” ! “There are other young doctors in Guern I ley,” I remarked. ' “Ah, but you’ve been in London,” she Answered, “and I know something of Hr. j Senior. When yon are in a strange place you catch at any chance of an acquaint. i race." “Come, be candid with me,” I said. “Did jot Messrs. Scott and Drown send you j here?” Thc suddenness of my question took lie; i off her guard and startled her. She hesi ! tafed, stammered, and finally denied it wuh mote than natural emphasis. j “I could take m.v oath I don’t know any j g-jch persons,” sho answered. “I dont tnow who you moan, or what you m ..n. AU I want is quite honest. There is a for- tune waitmg tor that.poor girl, and 1 want , 1 her back to tnos; who love her. aiul i ire ready to forgive and forget everything, I feel sure you know something of hr. But nobody except me and her other friends have anything to do with it." “Well,” I said, rising to tone my leave, “all the information I can give you is that I never saw such a person here, citlier last winter or since. It is quite possible she went on to Jersey, or to Granville, when the storm was over. That she did not slay in Guernsey I am quite sure.” I went away in a fever of anxiety. The woman, who was certainly not a lady, had inspired me with a repugnance that I couid not describe. There was an in-grain coats - ness about her—a vulgarity excessively distasteful to me as in any way connected with Olivia. The mystery which surround ed her was made the deeper by it. Surely this person could not be related to Olivia! I tired to guess in what relationship to her sho could possibly stand. There was the indefinable delicacy and refinement of a ; lady, altogether ind pendent of he” sur- I roundings, so apparent in Olivia that ■ could not imagine her as connected by j blood with this woman. Yet why and how I should such a person have any right to pur i 5!je her? I felt more chafed than I had ; ever done about Olivia's secret. j lricd to gatisfy myseIf with the- reficc | g on that I had put Tardif on his But guard, that and that he would protect her. j j ffid not set my mind who believed at ease. that I never knew other a mother yet any woman could nurse her sick child as well J ag herself; and I could not be persuade ! that eve n Tard.-f would sbb Id Olivia from danger and trouble ai I could, if I were only allowed the privilege, let my prom t to Julia bound me to bold no commumeu ^ G n with her. Besides, this wus.suicjj no time in to the occupy world myself than witn mother. any other She worn- her- | self, good, and amiable, my and se'f-forgetting as she was, might feel a paug of jealousy, and I ought not to be the one to add« st» ^io drinking. drop of bitterness to the cup she was On the other hand, I tra* distracted at the thought that this strung** might dis cover the pmee of Olivias retreat, from which there was no chance of escape if it were once discovered. A hiding-place like Sark becomes a trap as soon as it is traced out. Should this woman catch the echo of those rumors which had circulated eo wide L v through Guernsey less than three months ngo-and any people chance might conversation with one of ears—then our own farewell Olivia bring them to her to s safety avj concealment.
