I never in my life heard anything like itr v ' Nor bad RoyaL He had wondered why such stress had been pot on the SSth of December. He understood it now for a woman's sentiment about the day which was to have crowned her own love story with fruition. As much trou ble as this sentiment had already caused him, and was likely to cause him in the future, he had no impulse to mock at it He was too real a man to be devoid of reverence for romance. When they plied him still with ques tions he said that he did not believe that the sick man came from the west; he was convinced that he must be a native bom Virgkuan. A whimsical thought would obtrude itself relative to the greatness of their bewilderment when they should be confronted with the ne cessity for transposing his identity with that of the other John Royal, He him self was the son of Philip Royal and Pauline Hart. , When they reached their destination Royal hurried them to the hotel, secured rooms and established them comforta bly. Then he left them to see' after his patient, he said, and to attend to other matters. Mrs. Hart followed him into the corridor to say that if there should ,be any service for the sick man which she could perform, he must' not fail to let her know, and both ladies bade him Bend them news of tbe poor fellow's con dition. . Royal walked down the corridor with a step quickened by anxiety. He had hurried the ladies in, not daring to make mqur-ies in the office nor to interrogate the servant The hotel people were aware that he had gone for the sick man's friends. He bad himself informed the proprietor of his intention, explain ing the impossibility of immediate com munication with them by telegraph. The ladies under his charge would be received as appertaining to John RoyaU At the door of the sick room he paused to compose his countenance, and to shake off, if possible, the weariness which op pressed him. Then he opened it and en tered. " - - The -shutters Lad been closed , and there was no fire in the grate. The. out side air entered freely, but it could not dispel the strange odors in the room; about the place there was a look or neat ness that was unmistakable; every chair was in place, and the white covering of the bed hung straight and smooth over the sharp outlines of that which lay be neath. Royal crossed the room and folded back the sheet from the dead man's face. It was very peaceful, with all the lines of care and pain smoothed out, and that strange reflection of a light that never was on land or sea touching and bright ening the still features into a look of K youth, a look of hope. Royal replaced the covering with a pain . at his heart which his brief acquaintance with the dead man would hardly justify. It was as though a part of bis own life had begn suddenly swept into the infinite. That silent form would be a barrier for ever separating his future from his past He touched the bell. n . It was answered almost immediately by a colored man, one of the hotel wait ers, whom he in the urgency of the case had installed as nurse that very morning. How long ago it seemed look ing backward through the full hours the hours so few in number, so plethoric with events, so pregnant with change which would affect his whole life! It almost seemed' as though an ordinary lifetime must have intervened since he had given his hurried directions to the man now standing before him. , He pointed toward the bed. . "When did it happen?" he inquired. , The' man, a civil and intelligent fel low, stepped to the bureau and brought the dead man's watch. " Twas mighty easy an' peaceful atde lasV'sar," he said, as he handed it' : "He suffered mightily arter you lef , anl t'other doctor he look like he couldn't give him ho res'.
