They take meup in the middle of the night and put me into a scalding hot bed. My feet lie on hot coals and my head is scorched with tiro. Tlii fllstu of things is better than that but nurse, my feet are wet, and that is what makes them so cold. Ilon't you know they got wettliis morning on tho causeway? that's what makes them ho cold now. Miss Havering, tell her alniut it she does not lx'lieve me. She thinks I talk that way because I am ill." Lucy shuddered. It was terrible to hear hix mind wander. lie saw that she Jid so, and said, "You shudder, ton and how pale you arot Starlight makes your face so wan and blue." "Mr. Kichmond," said the nurse, "you must not talk. The lady will go away if you do." lie looked inquiringly in Lucy's face. "Yes," said she, firmly, "if you talk I must go." "1 can't talk," was his reply, "I am too tired." He sank back wearily, and pain fully, and lay quietly for an hour or so, as if in a stupor. His eyelids were not closed, but he seemed unconscious of all around him. The nurse came and felt bis pulse. When she had done this his hand dropicd as if jxiwerh ss. "Is he worse?" Lucy whispered in alarm. "Is he" She coilld not finish that question. "No, he's not dying." said tho nurse. "He'll last another hour or two. They mostly go alMiut thi'ce in the morning, or he may go on till the turn of the tide. That's a great timu for them to die." "Hush! Pray do," said Lucy. "Ho hears all you say "He knows nothing aliout it if ho does. He's always in a sort of Htiijmr till mid night gets over, and then he's in his glo ry! lie talks Iwenty to the dozen t lien." "Please, nurse, don't say such things," pleaded Lucy. "It's no want of feeling, miss, none! I could not manage at nil if 1 was as took Up wilh pity for him as you are." "Are his feet wanner?" asked Lucy, Boflly. "A wue, nut lie does not una mem warmer. Nothing I can do to them has much effect on them, They get warm of their own accord about ono o'elock, and then there's no getting them cold again, The hot fit is worsts than the cold lit, and wears him out more, Hut it's my liclief that ho will Just lie this way, and know no other while he lasts. Poor gciitleniuti, ho'll not 1 obstreperous any more now." Lucy's heart ached, but she had emir ngn when cmirago was wanted, ami con. trolled herself. "Nurse, does ho never Bleep?" sho asked, "Never, to do him any good. That's tho worst thing he has had to contend with that' what's brought hint to this." Hut he is )MrhapR sleeping now?" "No, he Is not. Ho is quiet, but there's no refreshment in it." The nurse took bh easy chair liy the Ore, and Boon began to doze Aunt Ksther had lotifc since ctrpt to a ofa In the corner and cried herself to Bleep Lucy sat waiting for ihfi end which was now so near. How hould Bhe meet his mother? What ter. rlble words she would hear from her! i.ucy nai cannon ills death, and ho was tho only son of his mother, and she a wid ow! Ho had died from paving her from tho consequences of her own stupidity.- Her thoughts were so bitter that sho wished for any sound to break the still ness, but no sound whatsoever was audi ble toiler senses but tho breathing of those in the room. At length Hugh Richmond lxgan to move, "The exhaustion is passing away," said Lucy. "No, it's the hot fit coming on," said tho nurse. Lucy was almost glad of it this jiower of suffering was a link to lire. Ho asked for water, and reproached them for giv ing him warm water. Then he complain ed of the sea. "It wears my brain out. If it would but stop moaning while I counted ten even that would rest my head) but it won't. Moan, moan, moan. It will go that way till it kills me." His voice was feeble and weary, his ac cent most piteous. Lucy did not hear the sea; sho liogan to sing to him in a low, sweet voice. No one ever knew what an effort it cost her to do it. He listened, and forgot alioiit tho sea, and gradually some painful lines in his face Kinootlind themselves away. lie looked at Lucy, ami said, "Whoever you are, you are kind but if you want to lie really kind tome, do put a stop to one thing they do to me every night. . . . Miss Clavering you perhaps know her my mother always said she was an enemy to Mil of us, but I never kdieved it till now. Every night Miss Clavering comes here, ami just when I want to go to sleep sho wraps her long, wet hair round my throat until I cannot breathe, and when I cry out, she wraps it tighter and tighter, until I am choked. Every breath I draw then sends a burn ing pain right through my chest, ami I feel cut in two by a red-hot sword, and still no one will help me. That nurse, there, is in league with her, and will stand quietly by, and let her do anything sho likes to torture me." His voice was now quite strong again, and his eyes were bright with fever. "They talk aliout. my In'ing ill that woman and the doctor I mean they pretend to Imj sorry, but they could cure nie if they chose to stop her. It iH nothing but having that long bit of wet hair wrapicd so tightly round my throat which makes me so ill. They will not keep her away or force her to unfasten it, and it, is wet and cold, and chokes me." "That is how he always talks," said the nurse, "poor dear gentleman!" "It is the. truth, though! She pretends that it is not, and so does that fool or knave of a doctor, but I ought to know best, for I feel it. I feel it now, tight ami hoking me. It is Miss Clavering's hair, 1 tell you! It got wet when we were out all night on the Grand 15ey that is why I wanted so much t r'se her by day light. I wanted to try if i could not per suade her not to do this. She does it ev- ry night, ami that's why I can't get well that is what is killing nie!" "I)o not talk that way, please sir," said the nurse. "That is your help, is it?" cried he. "Excellent help! Iioii't talk, you snv? lint I must talk! I must be heard! Noth ing chokes you like hair! it makes itself into such a tight.strong rope!" He clutch ed Luc)'s hand, and cried, "Will you stop her doing it?" Why, sir, this is Miss Clavering her self you are talking to! It is Miss Cluv ering who is sitting by yon'. Look at her. She is pitying you as much as she can! She doesn't want to do nothing to hurt you," said the nurse. He looked at her in doubt anil alarm. Lucy let her hair down, and said, "I am Miss Clavering j but I promise, as you ask it, never again to do anything to hurt you. Feel my hair, it is quite dry now, so I do not want to wrap it round your throat any more. Nie took his poor parched hands in hers, and made him touch her hair. "Feel it," said she, "it has got quite dry ami warm. I will fasten it up tight ly, and you shall see me do it. Look what a nijinlier of st rong pins I am using, and how safely I am fastening it." He watched all sho did with eagerness. He had forgotten almost everything which had happened on the (irand Bey, except the one fact that when tho sailors met them and took Lucy from hia arms one long coil of tier hair had to be untwisted from his throat. Somehow or other it had then wrapped itself tightly round it, and the remembrance of this had haunted him and played a terrible part in increas ing his illness. When her hair was tirmly fixed iu its ulace, bho made him feel it nnce more, and said, "Now that can do you no harm." He seemed perfectly satis fied, and made no more complaint of being strangled by her, but ho still complained of being kept by force in a burning bed. He now seemed much exhausted, and lay as if partly unconscious, Presently Lucy saw him clutching at the lied-clothes, as if to draw them upwards. Some one had once told her that this was a sign of ap proaching death, and tho sight mado her thrill with terror. She could not bear to see it. She drew his hand away and held it tightly in hers. She would hold it now until he died. "Oh, thank find," paid he, "you have taken me back to tho cave again, and it will bo cool! I felt I was there when you put your hand in mine. Ah! how you Tlepl thenj I could not awaken you!" "You slept, too, Could you sleep now?" "Vour head was on my shoulder then. ion were unhappy, and so tired and cold That is how we camo to sleep." "Could yon sleep in that way now?" asked Lucy. "Lay your head on my shoulder and try." She moved closer to the pillow where his head was tossing tin easily aliout. Sho drew him towards her till his forehead rested on her shoulder, and placed her cool hand on It. He seemed to breathe more freely, am sail', "How well I feel since you took your strangling hair awayl Tho cave is cool. Why did you not take mo there be fore?" Strong hoj arose in Lucy's heart. She felt he might recover. "We must get off the island at day break, said he. "Waken me then if 1 go to sleep." "Yes,", replied Lucy, "I will rouse yon men, iiivr. go to sleep now." He shut, his eyes, and seemed to yield to ner as a tinld might have done. The muse cameinil saw him lying thus. She down i j liticy. Aunt r.stiier was Bleeping in fijMistant corner, and very soon Hugh Kichiioud elept also. After a while his breathing liccame as regular and jieaceful as that of a child. Lucy only was awake. Tho attitude sho hail chosen liecame painful to her. She never nth-red one hair'H breadth. She was weak and ill herself, but she lxro all, and for hia Bake. She, who had not yet lieen able to Bit up morethanjhalf-an-hourat alinie.sat in this constrained jvisture for hour after hour, proud and thankful that Hhe could do so much. Herono hope wan that jierhaps under Providence she might be the means of saving a life that had lieen freely risk ed in her liehalf. The foolish over-wisdom of those around them had almost cost his life and her own i but even yet all might lie well. He was sleeping peacefully ; his hand, which lay in hers, was no longer parched, his breathing was regular and calm j once the door ojiened, and the doctor lceied in. He threw up his arms in won der when he saw tho change in his pa tient's condition, but he ere it out without disturbing him. Lucy saw that he had expectel to find it all over, or to see poor Hugh Kichmond breathing his last, and a hope which as yet she hud hardly dared to indulge in, began to take up its almdo in her mind. Day dawned and still he slept, and still his head was on her shoul der. She feared the light might awaken the jhkii" sleeper, but ho slept on. Aunt Esther, tin), was still sleeping; her face looked grey and haggard in the now light. "How happy she will lie wiien sho awakes and sees him!" Hiought Lucy, and then she checked herself for over confidence. Who could soy that he wiw safe? Alxnit five o'clock he opened his eyes, and said, "I feel very happy j where am 1 ?" Then be saw Lucy. "Are you really here?" he asked. "Yes, really," sho answered her heart was too full to speak. "Did they not say I was to die to-night?" he asked. She j tressed the hand she held. He looked tenderly in her face, and said, "You have been very good to me. Do you care for me a little?" "I care for you very much indeed," sho replied. He smiled. It was a treat to see that smile once more. His eyes seemed to close of their own accord, and he was asleep again almost directly. Lucy slightly changed her position, but still she sat by him, and still she held his hand. "For once," thought she, "I have done some thing that has not been an injury to him. Thank (lod I came!" Now that she could see his face she saw how pale and thin it was. Hhe was looking sorrowfully at it when the nurse awoke and came to her. "What a change you have made in him, ma'am!" said she. "It is surprising what love can do." Lucy was so shocked that she almost dropped his hand but bethought herself in time and sat still. "He has raved aliout you, and his love for you, and his despair alxmt something or other." "Almut what?" inquired Lucy. "Nay, miss, I don't know; despair is a part of the business. 1 took no particu lar notice of what he was saying." Lucy liegan to think that he was sleep ing so soundly she might steal away from his side. This woman's talk made her feel uncomfortable. She drew her band away so gently that he certainly could not have felt it : hut no sooner had she done so than h half turned round and said Koine thing which she did not hear. "You will lie having him wide-awake again, ma'am, if you don't titke care," whispered the nurse, anxiously. Lucy took his hand once more in hers, and once more be was still, the nurse now saw how weak and ill tho poor girl was herself, and came and put a glass of wine to her lips, and gave her a cushion to lean against ; without this, Lucy must have fainted. Lucy herself was in a half sleep when she heard him say, "Nurse, I feel very well this morning!" : "And so you ought with a beautiful young lady sitting there and holding your hand lovingly like that the whole long night through. Most folks would feel happy. She's asleep rmw, poor young thinir." "What she does for me nurse, ia only ilono out of pity." The tiurso looked wise, "I don t feel bo suro of that, sir," said sho. "Sho is fast asleep, nurse." Lucy was, so to sjieak, fast asleep and wide awake too. Sho heard, hut could not move. "How do you ftel almut eating flome thing, sir?" was the good woman's, next Hliecc.h. "I lielieve I am hungry but I ought to be dead," he added with a certain degree of grim humor. "On this Lucy's hand closed tightly on his, and with a great effort she opened her weary eyes. The nurse went to bring some tea. "Do not use that dreadful word," Baid Lucy to him. "You have, I think, saved ino," replied he. "I wonder whether tho doctor will say I am better." "I never can forgive the doctor," cried Lucy j "lie ought to have let inn come to you sooner. lie had no right to conceal from me that you wished to hco me. Why did you wish bo much to hco ine?" "To tell you something." ' 'Hut you have riot done it." "You are not to be told until just beforo I die." Lucy was silent. "You must lie very tired," said he. "No, I am so happy. You aro better?" "Yes, I am licltcr. Thank you for all that you have undergone to make mo so." "What have I undergone that I would not most gladly undergo again for your irood?" Sho had withdrawn her hand from him it was lying on the arm of her chair His eyes rested on it. Ho held out. his own beseechingly. After an instant's hesitation she laid her baud frankly in his. He looked at it, then at her. "Just for oiiu moment," said he) "1 do not inisuti' derstaud you." "Take your hand away," said he, in a ahnrt time j "I do not like to give it up, and I ought not to keep It." Lucy left it where it was. "liven if you attached all tho meaning to what you are now doing that it is jmssl bio to attach, my duty would still lie this,' paid ho, kissing her hand, ami gently put ting it away from him. "I do not understand," said she, "I love you, dear," wiib his reply j "I always shall, but I am in no jMisition to woo you for my wife. I wish you were as poor as I am. "A minute ago," said Lucy, "you asked me for my hand put yours in initio now for one instant," and very timidly she'held out hers. He looked doubtfully in her face what was she going to do? He held forth his hand. She did not lay hers in his, but she drew off her jmsy ring tho ring which had been her father's and her grandfather's betrothal ring and bIio placed it on his finger. Ho had not forgotten tho motto: My love for tlteo My llfoHhall tie. and said in joyful amazement, "Is it pos sible that you could ever lovo me?" "Yes," was her onswer, "as soon as I saw you I felt I could." Enough to resign for my Bake all that Mr.Kenrick left you?" "Yes j but you ought to love mo enough not to care about my doing that.'' "My Lucy, my own love, you have saved my life." "You Beetn to me to lie talking far too much, sir," said the nurse, who suddenly, and with a great clatter of tea-cups, re turned to the room. "You are much let ter, sir, but by no means out of danger yet; and if you please, sir, there must lie no more imprudence with talking!" Lucy's heart sank what if tho doctor came in and did not seem much impressed by tho change in his patient? What if ho still said he must die? Die! when they loved each other, and had owned their love? Could such a cruel thing lie? and yet bow often must it lie! She hid her face and the tears fell fast. The nurse touched her shoulder, and made her a sign to control herself. "I have brought two cups," she said; "you have watched together, and you must eat together; and then ma'am, you must please go into another room, and I'll ptrnighten up Mr. Richmond, and mako him ready to see the doctor, and then we'll hear what he says of him this morn ing." Ah! how terribly inqiortaut what he would say had lieconie! Lucy's tea near ly choked her. Hugh Richmond drank his and ate his slips of toast, and looked at the posy ring on his finger. He seemed to have no fear of the doctor's verdict, and Lucy had so much. She took the nurse into a corner and asked her if ho were not better, and if the doctor would not think so? "There's no going by looks," replied that cautious woman, whose reputation for sa gacity was at stake, so she dared not Iki too sanguine. "They often look quite cheerful and nicely, and then go out quite suddenly like the snuff of a candle." "Hut don't you tlunk he is better?" "Well, yes, I do; but then it's the doc tor who knows the most aliout it." Aunt Esther and Lucy went away, and while in their room on the floor lielow heard the doctor's steps. It sounded knell-like. They even heard his voice. and mufHed and dreadful the sound was. Lucy hail made the nurse promise to come to the dour and hold up her right hand if the news were good. The doctor came instead. "With care, he'll do!" were his words, and when Lucy beard them she fainted. Three months afterwards the Mis rang merrily at Calderwater. A happy bridal party walked through the chiiavhyard. Two of the mimlier stopjied by a tomb stone bearing the name of Hugh Kenrick -the very name the bridegroom had just Bigned in tho vestry. "How strangely my poor uuclt'a will has been carried out!" paid he. "1 do not take bis name I liear it already I merely droit the name ot Richmond, which he never liked, fiod grant that his fancy that he should know something of what, went, on after his death was a true one, and that he now sees us standing hereand (iod grant also that he is happy almut this as wo are!"

Savages rarely commit suicide; the do- si re for self-annihilation i.s the product of our higher civilization. Peoplo are also inoro anxious to sluillli) oil the mor tal coil in northern than in southern lat itudes, more in summer than in winter, nmro in cities than in rural districts, more nnionr the educated than the il literate, morn among working people than professional men, and nunc among tho poor than the well-to-do. The Daric.4 aro the .most nnd the Portuguese the least self-destructive, the Prussians more than the French, the French more than tlio Knglish, and tlio F.nglish moro than the AustmuiH, Russians, Itnliann or Spanish. Apart from latitude climate has no effect.. The seasons, however, exert an important, inlluence. Most peo ple prefer to take themselves oil in lino weather. Spring ami summer are the favorite times. July offers to the victim the most and Noveinlicr the fewest at tractions. Tho ntimlicr of suicides is twice ns great in Mav, .limn or July ns In any winter month.

Nor is it strange that convicts ami prostitutes, who know neither shame nor fear, do not, dio vol untary deaths in any appreciable ratio. Hut why should the tendency to self- slaughter Increase steadily nnd surely Willi advancing years, and old age rather than earlier life become the sup cidal period P For this slrauire fact ai' pears to ho established by statistics, and that in proportion to me nuinlier or in illvidiials of each age suicides aro about ns frequent above three scoro-and-tcn ns between the ages ol twenty and forty.
