What if It should really be the ¢ that Mr. Philbrick kad been seriously smitten? Such a thing would not be impos- sible. She wondered who he was. ‘And so, while the doctor waited patiently, but with growing anxiety, for his answer, Louise was thinking intently of the other man. All at once she locked up with some- thing like roguishress in her eyes, and une ou haven't told me about your face, yet. “TIL tell you, Miss Drummond,” respond- ed the doctor, taking a sudden resolution to confess everything at once and stand or fall on the truth. “I quarreled -vith Phil- brick——” “About me, Dr. Williams?’ sho interrupt- ed in accents of dignified reproach. “No, not about you directly, and yet you were concerned in it. If it hadn't been for you I should probably not have taken of- fense at his sneers. I say it in explana- tion, not justification of my conduct.” “It wes very wrong in you to permit a 6 | heart bound hopefully. quarrel to occur about me, even Indirectly. You had no right to.” Louise pouted and looked indeed offend- ed, but the doctor, who blushed and stared uneasily at the floor, did not see the sparkle in her eyes that she could not re- press. She was thinking again of Mr. Phil- brick, and of the doctor, too, but she was trying to remember how they compared in size, and she wondered how the other had fared In the quarrel. “I know it,” responded the doctor, huski- ly, “and that isn’t the worst of it. I struck first.” At the moment Louise was not struck with the downright honesty of this con- fession, made as it was without any at- tempt at palliation, not a word about provocation; before her somewhat startled mind there flashed a vision of two stal- wart men battling flercely against one an- other, and while she felt a glow of exulta- tion at the thought that it was love for her that inspired them, she was consumed with anxiety to know whether Mr. Phil- brick had come out of it as well as the doctor had. “Did Mr. Philbrick—" she began, then halted, smiled in plitying contempt, and ‘oncluded: “But I see that he did strike ‘k. Did you succeed in hurting him, Dr. Williams?" “I hope not, Miss Drummond, and I think not. He seemed to have come off as well as I did.” Louise was conscious that her heart was heating too rapidly for the perfect assump- ticn of cempcsure that she wished to show. She had been standing up to this time. Now she sat dowa and turned her head aside. “I know you despise me utterly,” faltered the docter, “but I want you to Know that it ot merely groundless jealousy that » me lose my temper. I thought Mr, Philbrick made very offensive remarks to X and—I suppose I'm too sensitive. I ul have let them pass.” It would have been the more dignified ,"" said Louise, severely. “I am very surprised, and—and shocked, Dr. dcetor sighed almost inaudibly, but Louise heard his trembling breath, and her exultation grew. What a thing it is, to be sure, for a young woman to feel conscious of her power over a strong man!

The doctor himself feared Mr, Phil- brick as a rival; they had had a fight, which, in spite of the doctor's way of looking at it, Was about her. Then, if Mr. Philbrick were in the least in earnest he would the more quickly be incited to declare himself. That was the way it had affected the doctor. Really, (It seemed altogetheg probable to Lou that the next day, or Shortly there- ter, she would have the loquacious, ready- witted Philbrick at her feet also. Dr. Williams moved slowly toward the door, “You're not going?” said Louise, and the The Omnipresent Philbrick. uneasiness In her tone made the doctor's Would she after the castigation forgive him? “I dare not hope, Drummond,” he said, “that you will pardon my very unman- nerly conduct, but I assure you that you cannot think worse of me than I think of “I'm not so sure that I cannot pardon you, dector,” she responded. “I think you were —ahem—very foolish, but you've been very , too, in owning to tt. on’t want to take any credit for a virtue without which a man would be ut- terly contemptible,” said the doctor, “but if you could really know- “" He was about to tell her something with respect to the en- during quality of his love, its depth and other things that he had felt and dwelt upon in his own mind recently,but when he looked into her eyes the words died in his throat. Ho did not know what he read there; he was not even conscious of a wavering in that supreme passion that had led him to this declaration, but it was as if some subtle force intervened to prevent him, as if he were warned that his honesty might some day be called in question if he apostrophized his attraction for this beautiful girl, whose sentiments at that moment were almost wholly confined to unadmirable personal tri- umph. So he paused in confusion, and Louise waited in surprise for him to continue. This he did after a moment: “With all your condemnation, Miss Drum- mond, there may be love. I cannot go away without an answer to my question. Do you think that you can love me? I put it very mildly, you see. Do you?” The triumph died down and Louise an- swered: “I don’t know.” Strange as it may seem to the uninitiated, she told the whole truth. Then you do not altogether reject me?” No, doctor. How can 1 tell?’ You must give me time to. (think. I don’t know what papa would say. She smiied brightly as she said this, and the doctor's heart glowed with hope, not as buoyant as he would have expected, but hope it was, nevertheless, and very pleasant to him. Yet, almost at the same instant, he seemed to see the ominous edge another cloud, for at the mention of her father he recalled for the first time since the exacting conversation began the tragic ery that overhung the house. What would she say,” he thought, and his hand involuntarily ‘sought his pocket and touched the bi witch, “if she knew that I was standing between her and her oe disgrace, perhaps saving him from death?” He dismissed the reflection as well as he could, for it had no weight with him in the present affair, It was not a means that he would stoop to use with either father or daughter, but he veiled apprehension in his heart when he suggested: “Shall we let the matier rest until he re- turns, or until, {f you make up your mind you can write to him?” let It be that way,” she responded “doctor felt immensely relieved. Loutse rose to resume her w He wan- dered out to the plazza hardly knowing what to do, for the interview seemed some- how incomplete. He would have liked at least to clasp her hand in token of the fact that there was an understanding between them, but it was too late for that unless he were content to appear mawkishly senti- mental, He wished that he had quietly in- sisted on that little formality. As he stood in the open air he saw his mother midway between the hill and the house, and just coming over the brow of the hill was the imperturbable, and, it seemed, omnipresent Philbrick.
