"Oli, dear, Sophie, I'm tired to death of this monotonous, treadmill existence! I shall positively die if I don't have something to stir me up," said a young boarding-school miss, as she flung her self on the bed. "Ain't vou sick of such a life?" '•Sick unto deathanswered a young girl who was combing her beautiful light, hair before the minor. "Oh, tor one evening n society!" ''Ob, for a sly flirtation Beneath the light of a cbandelh- With juu.-'ic in the pauses. And no watchful teacher near!" sang Emma. "Ves! .society and flirtations,with such strict rules and watchful teachers, are things we may dream of but not enjoy." "It is six months since I have hud" a chut with a gentleman." "And so much lo. ger than that,I have forgotten my reckoning entirely. I de clare I shall forget how to converse." '"If we only had a more agreeable phy sician I would have a tit of illness, just by way of variation. What do you sav to it?" "Capital!" said Kinraa, "only that old Dr. Hill, with his cracked voice and creaky boots, is so cross I can't endure him. I wish Miss Curtis would employ his nephew, young Dr. Wheeler." "Catch her doing that! If! had any hopes of it I would be k on the in stant." "Oh, Sophie!" said p]mma the r*xt day "I have capital news for your pri vate ear.' "A secret? Oh, hurry up! I'm dying with impatience!" "Yes, but as you value your .ife, don't let Miss Curtis hear of it." "A needful caution, truly I'd run and tell her directly." "No you won't! Now listen—Dr. Hill has left town for two weeks, so that his nephew may get into practice. No one is to know of it, and when Dr. A is sent for. Dr. W is to respond, and by his skill and address induce patients to send for him next time." "Oh, Em! I feel so V'said Sophie, leaning her head on 1, uid. "What is it, dear? Ho., pale you are," said Emma, as she dew to her side. "Ha, ha, ha! I was only practicing do you think Miss Curtis could be taken in that way?" "Yes, indeed! only try." "Well, but you must follow suit." "Certainly." but you shall have the honor of being first attacked.'' Ding, ding, went the tea bell, and the young misses skipped along the passage to the dining hall, followed more slowly by matrons and teachers. "Miss Sophie, will you have milk or tea to-night?" There was no answer and the question was repeated, when Sophie lifted her hands to tier head and said, "I wish nothing, may I leave the table?" "Are you eick?" "Not much" was the truthful answer as she walked slowly from the room. "She looked pale,' re marked one of the teachers. "May I go with her?" asked Emma, half rising. Miss C. answered by re pleating one of the servants to assist Miss Sophie to bed and ask if she could be of any assistance. After tea all the girls flocked" to Sophie's room but she was too weak to talk to them, so they were all put out of the room, and Miss C. kissed Sophie good night, with the pleasant assurance that if she was no better in the morning. Dr. Hill should be sent for. After the door closed behind the good ladv Sophie said, "Oh Em. I did want a piece of cake I saw on the table." "Wei!, for o^ce I read your heart," said Emma, drawing a slice of the cake from her pocket. "I took it while Miss C. was returning thanks for what we had eaten, though not for what I had stolen I presume The next morning Sophie was no better, and as she was able to exercise self denial far enough to decline breakfast, Dr. Hill was sent for. What a flutter the intelligence caused in the girls room. "Do, Em, arrange my hair becomingly and make me look in teresting, and bring me one of my em broidered handkerchiefs, and place my flask of Eau de Rose here on the rest table and by the way please get from the lower bureau drawer my New Bible with the purple velvet cover and gold clasps." "Why, you don't want to impress him with sense of your piety do you?" "No,! but the purple and gold makes my hand look so fair in contrast." In a few momenta all was satisfactiorly ar ranged, but not without bringing a flush to Sophie's face, which was deepened by hearing a gentleman's step on the stairs. "She has a fine color," remarked the physican. "She was very pale when I left her a half an hour ago. "That spot has come there within a few minutes," said Em. "Oh dear! it must he fever." Of course it was necessary for the young and handsome physician to feel his pa th mts pulse. '"Some fluttering^ of the pulse," lie said, and leaving a harmless •yru im. liv: OttHi, u UaXiJJIt'Mn I* WescriuUon left, uroiniaiug to call the -liss Curtis s possession to be re i ex' dav Do vou reauy think .she is ill?" lislced Mrs C. "A few hours will determine" answered the doctor there is fever in the village."' "Let me see the symptoms"—mused the doctor, but he never got any farther than that. Could she be shamming! Hardly, thought he, for they had no idea uncle was out of town, and she must know it would be dillicult to take him in. "If I had known Dr. Hill was away I would not have sent there," said Miss C. in a vexed tone. "I don't like this handsome young doctor coming here in the school, it will make talk I know- I hor»e she won't need many visits." "Didn't I carry it on well Em? It is time you were attacked misery loves company vou know." "Well, I will come up from my music in a very bud wav" said Emma. The next time the doctor called he had two patients to pre scribe for. It was said throughout the school, "Em is sick from sympathy with Sophie." "What geese we were Em," said Sophie." as she munched a crust of dry toast, "not to have laid in a stock of edibles for this occasion. I am nearly starved. I do beliew I could eat a pound of beefsteak and a whole pud ding." "So could .1, and 1 guess if we promise to make Rosa's doll anew dress, maybe we can bribe her to get us some. Let's make out a 'bill of fare.' What say you to sardines'.'"' "I'd rather have pickled oysters," "Well, we'll have poth, and fruit cake, tarts and mucea roons." The little girls were easily persuaded to execute the commission and "not to tell." The next time the doctor came it was not surprising that his patients had a good deal of fever, and an appear ance about the eyes of a disordered state of the system. "They have eaten nothing but drv toast," said Miss C—in answer to his query. IJut the doctor saw a Hush on the faces of the girls as she spoke, and began to get an inkling of how matters stood for his sister Kate had been an inmate of a boarding-school and let him into some of the secrets of that life, and when Km said in a low tone that her "worst feelings were about the middle of the afternoon," he told her he would cull in at that time, Though he knew that was the hour Miss C—a 1 ways walked. "Sophy, they say he is very fond of music. I'll tell Jane to get my guitar. I shall look so interesting with one liand on it, and I will be literary and have my little gem of a writing case by me, hold ing my gold pen in my hand. There isn't that comme il faut?" "Perfectly! how glad I am Miss C—is out of tlie way we will have such a nice time!'' "Did vou* call me my dears?" said the good ia-lv very gently as she stood in the half open door. They were so sure she had gone out they had thrown off all restraint, forgetting the door had been left open, alio un derstood all their symptoms now as wel as their doctor did.""Oh! haven't I done mv duty by them thought the good lady, and she hastened to the throne The doctor paused just inside the door and gazed with surprise and amuse ment upon the tableau presented to him. Lovely indeed looked those young girls in the subdued light. One with her rich dark ringlets, and long lashes resting on htr cheek, and her lovely hand on the strings of the guitar, as if she longed to draw melody from its chords. The other with her silky bands of light hair pushed back from her alabaster brow, one small hand pressed against the blue veins of her temple, as if to check the rapid flow of thought, while the glittering gold pen in her snowy fingers glided over the paper before her. "I suppose I may ad vance and examine the picture more closely, though in tab leaux we are not usually allowed to do so," he said at last. "I hope my fair patients are not suffering much pain," he added with a smile. While he de spised their maneuvering, he could not help his vanity being flatterrd by the recollection "all this trouble was taken for me." I Ie feltthat politeness required him to make the visit agreeable to the girls, So after rallying the one about writing poetry, insisting that he had seen verses in print ascribed to her, and en treating that he might be permitted to see the effusion he next made music his theme, declaring he loved the guitar better than any other, as it harmi mixed so perfectiv with the female voice. Then he besought her for a little music. At first she affirmed she was too weak to play, but be pleaded insinuatingly. so she consented to give him just one song. But her voice and hand both gathered strength as she went on and the concert, was prolonged for nearly an hour. Thanking them politely, for the enter tainment they had afibrded hiuj, he bowed himself out of the room. Miss Curtis met him in the hall. "Your patients seem to be getting along verv well, Doctor," said—then a mean ing smile wa» exchanged. "Yes, madam, by to-morrow they will probably be able to resume their places in school." "Then you think they need no more visits? Very well, sir, make out vonr bill and send it in at any time," When old Dr. Hill returned and ques tioned his nephew about the patients he had attended during his alienee, he laughed heartily when he told of his visits to the voung girls, and exclaimed, "you mav depend upon it those girls knew of mv absence, for they would not have risked passing themselves off for sick upon such across old curmudgeon as I am." This w.m cer tainly very flattering to the young phy sician. "Now they have had their amusem Tit." said the uncle, "I would amuse rnvself by frightening them a lit tle." "How so?" "Whv by bringing in an immense bill for attendance. Let the girls have their fun without pay ing for it." "You can return the money again you know, but I would certainly have a little sport out of it." Fiuding his nephew inexorable, he undertook the business himself stilting that Dr. Wheeler had only been acting as his agent, and sent in a bill of so large an amount that the girls were quite dis mayed. "illness ia expensive," re marked Miss C—significantly as she saw their looks of blank astonishment. "I shall have to do without ever so many things I wanted," said s,jf,hie to her frrea "So shall I" said Emma. They did not dream that the money was tlMnud to them at the i grace to implore wisdom to guide their aright so that their tastesdor fliitatiom would give place to higher enjoyments ciuse oi ine term. Amid their surprise at having it thus refunded, thev said, "Well, one good result of the atlair is, that we have learned how to practice economy. 1 should have spent every c«nt of this money, if I had had it, and be no better off than I am now." Sophie and Emma are women now and too high minded to stoop to either flirtations or artifice and while they cannot recall that event to their srirl hood without a blush of their own folly, they have sportively named it their "first lesson in economy."
