'I am sure I wish no harm to him, and I daresay he is in very good health, as you say, whispered she, at last. 'Who told ? began he again, sterner than ever. 'Well, if you will know, and will make such a fuss about it, said she, driven to extremity, 'it was you yourself you or Dr Nicholls, I am sure I forget which. 'I never spoke to you on the subject, and I don't believe Nicholls did.

See our side lights are burning well, and you had better get up a couple of blue lights, in case anything comes running up Channel and don't see our lights. We had better divide into two watches; I will keep one with Matthews and Dawson, Mr. Harvey will go in your watch with Nicholls.

Doctor Nicholls was there, and two young house surgeons, all eagerly listening, but the patient's mind was away in the old farm house on the shore of Lake Algonquin desperately seeking relief from its suspense. He scarcely noticed when they left the room, but he came to himself completely when they returned, and Dr. Nicholls announced to him briskly and almost joyfully that Dr.
