"Which you doubted? An 1 you

"Nora Nay brook," said the girl
ouicl lv.
"Or. Owen Onwill, nt your fer
viee,'' retorted the cheery voice, as
its owner dolled his hat. "1 know all
about you now, Miss Norn, for Mrs.
Pilhui is garrulous, mid as you are
used b) obedience, I expect you to
obey me now. My buggy is just be
yond the bend of the road. Uomain

Nora started. Would he drive, her
home?
"fill, but you must not !" she pro
tested. "Very well; th"ti I'll leave vou sit

tor, rising.
Nora felt her eyes droop with siid

"Thank you," she said gently, with
a s i. Im ss in her voice that iiiiulo him
look nt her. "I will nccepl your help,
since I must."
"Only because you must."
"I am ueeu-dotiied to helping my
self, but at last 1 mil useless."
'Then I rejoice to be the (list
the doctor, to oiler you help," said
kindly; aiel awny he ijied across the
fields!
I n a short time he reappeared, drew
up his light buggy beside the waiting
iiiniih n, sprang down beside her, ami
before she knew what next would hap
pt u, she was caught in a pair of
strong arms and lifted high above the
mud into the carriage.
"There !" snid the merry voice, as
the Kcll'-reliaiit young man took up
the reins. "Your foot is all right. It
is only strained a little, niul by the
day alter tomorrow you may try an
other jump. "
Nora listened shyly; silence htcuied
to protect her trom herself, ntnl
throughout the drive home she could
only listen anil rejoice at the tine na- i
ture of t he new doctor.
Ouce only she spoke; then it was to
ask li i in to drive in by the buck way,
through the barnyard, so that her cu
lm nee might not be seen from the
house. Then, as he left her at the
kitchen porch, having given her a
small bottle, with orders to apply its
emit uits lo her foot till the pain ceas
ed, she raised her ryes and snitl :
"I am ghitl you have come hero' Dr.
Onwill. So many n:ul hearts need

he asked almost sharply. i
She only blushed ami turned away, j

months went by, for her eariicut, help- '

other more competent than she to i

They seldom met. mid thin only a

these few did the gentle girl much

Olio bright, wintry day, when In;

it seemed only natural that his nature I
