gleam from an occasional gas light flickering across his thoughtful face There was but one name remaining on his visiting list- as he drew the crumpled scrap of paper from bis pockets Agatha House street The poor little vestmaker he muttered to himself replacing the pa per and buttoning his overcoat closer around his breast I think she is on the right track now but shes had a hard struggle for life Ten minutes afterwards as he sprang up the interminable flight of stairs to the cramped attic room where his patient lay he uttered an exclamation of cheerful surprise What sitting up already Miss Agatha Do you happen to remem ber that this is against orders But felt bo very much better Doctor She looked like a pale fragile lily among the pillows in the big chair with her brown hair brushed back and her blue eyes lighting up the wax like pallor of her face Ah how near that lily had come to floating down the black waves of the river Death no one but kind Dr Harper knew You are getting well know he said counting the pulses that throbbed languidly in her slender wrist Yes I believe so But Doctor and a troubled look gleamed in the great blue eyes have been think ing- There it is again ejaculated the doctor rumbling up his hair in comic vexation when I strictly forbade you to think I could not help it sir she falter ed trying hard to keep back the tears when remembered how many you have visited me and knew how this sickness bad exhausted all little savings Oh Doctor if I could only repay you Dear dear groaned Dr Harper shes getting herself into a fever again Bother the pay Who said anything about paying Cant I at tend a patient a few times if I please without having money crammed down my throat Or look here my wifes fond of flowers and I know shed like that white geranium in- the win dow That will settle my bill Agathas cheeks flushed with plea sure the doctor could have hugged himself for the sage idea For if it had been a black cat fitting in the window instead of the superb gerani um plant be would have proposed the plan all the same And he went away chuckling inwardly with the geranium in his anus while Agatha gladdened heart throbbed as lightly as if she bad not been a penniless vest- maker in a firelesa attic How kind he has been to me she murmured If 1 could ever him Charles what a splendid flow er said Mis Harper as the doctor walked into the bright little drawing- room and set white gerani um in the centre of the teatable di rectly under the lighted chandeliers Where did you get it I picked it said Dr Harper indifferently Here take it away and bring me my supper And now for a good evening of rest Vain prediction He bad scarcely swallowed his first cup of tea ere a summons came in hot haste and he went out into the stormy darkness once more An hour later his sense less corpse wa3 brought home crushed and mangled almost out of earthly semblance The horse had taken fright and dashed recklessly across the very path of the midnight express train And the great current of life closed once more over the dead mans vacant place What matters it a human life more or less 1 wonder which house it is Mrs Blythes carriage with its glittering dark blue panels and silver mounted harness stood in the narrow street while Mr BIythe herself in velvet looked dubiously at the squalid row of houses A pretty young matron with brown hair and large blue eyes she was even sweeter- looking than the pale Agatha of old Ah those old days I Could she have looked into the futurity then she would have fancied that the times of enchantment were returned to earth She bad exchanged the atticroom for wealth and luxury heart for the lore of a tender hus band Yet in all the sunshine of perity she had not forgotten the keen touch of poverty and even now she had come to succor want and tidal- from her overabundance Suddenly an her eye over the unpromising row of window she gave a quick convulsive start y My own white geranium I she ex claimed while the quick blood mount to her cheeks and clasped U hands closely together The very plant with its clusters of snowy blossoms half hidden among the velvet green the very-flow- whoee silent lovltness had been the comfort and companion of those soli- attic hours Ah I it wa like meeting an old friend I give it to Dr Harper she murmured as tide of recollection swept over her heart bow could it ever have come here Instinctively lifted passed into the basement room whose windows were bright with the starry blossoms A wan woman was cowering oyer the smouldering remains of a wretched fire with two little clinging to her knees She rose in surprise Pardon me said Agatha coloring and fcarce knowing how to explain herself but that flower in the J Wr said the woman with tow sigh And his name was Harper Dr Harper There was a moments silenceand then Agatha arms were foltii cIoe the frame her sobs the of the widowed woman God has heard my prayers The time has come for me to discharge the debt of gratitude 0h you never can know what I owe to Dr Harper Heaven only can fathom the depths of his noble kindness years ago And through her tears she told the story of the white geranium Long long after Agathas reverent fingers bad laid those same pure blos soms around the face of the dead wo man whose last hours her loving care had brightened Dr Harpers orphan childern shared an
