REAY, Rupert, Pa. ays. TB.-ly. I was a young doctor, not overburdened with practtco, when I sat half dozing In tny surgery, ono stifling August nfternoon, and was roused by a bustle in tbo street and a cry, "Hero's a doctor ; ring the bell I" By the time the ring was answered I was wide awake and had my professional expres' ston on. Two men camo In, and ono held In his arms a llmp,6enseless figure a boy about three years old, covered with the blood flow' Ing from a gash in his head. I took the lit tle fellow in my own arms and carried him to the sofa,while tho men brought mo water and seemed deeply interested in all my move menu. A broken arm and the deep cut on the head kept me busy some time, but at last my little patient was made as comfortable as possible and was moaning with recovering consciousness. "Have you far to carry him ?" I asked of one of the men. "We don't own him," was the answer. "He was a running across the street and a horse kicked him over. Jim, here," indl eating his companion, "he picked him up, and I come along to help find a doctor, 'cause Jim can t read." 'Needn't a shoved that in I" growled Jim, turning red. "Poor llttlo chap how he groans 1" "I will give him something to quiet him, presently," I said, "and will send word to the station house if his name is not on his clothes." The men departed, and I lifted my charge once more,and went up stairs to my mother's room, over the surgery, It did not take many minutes to enlist her sympathies, and we undressed the child and piithimin her wide .bed, hoping to find some mark upon his clothing. There was none, and when I saw this I spoke frank ly "Mother, there is just one chance for the little fellow's life, and that is perfect quiet, He will hare fever, probably be delirious Bo tho summer and early autumn woro away, and Freddie was dear to us as if ho had claim of kinship. His rare beauty, his precocious intellect and his loving heart had completed tho fascination commenced by our pity for his suiTering,weakness and lone liness. Ho called us "Grandma" and "Un cle John," and clung to us with tho most affectionate caresses. We tried in vain, from his childish prat tle, to gain somo clue to his parentage or re latives. He told us his papa had gono "far, far off," and mamma had "gone to papa," so we concluded he was an orphan, and I often heard mother telling him of the beautiful heaven where his parents waited their little boy. Of his grandmothor and Aunt Lucy ho spoke with shrinking fear, and seemed to have an equal dread of Susan, whom we judged to be tho nurse. Susan was talking to a tall man, he told us, who boxed his ears and told him to go home, when, trying to escape, he ran under tho horse s hoofs and was hurt. Being blessed with ample means, mother and I had quite decided to formally adopt pretty lreddie when he had been a little longer unclaimed in our house, The con- valesenceof the child requiring fresh nir without too much exercise, I made a habit of taking him with mo in my daily drlro to visit my patients. Dennis, my coachman, was very fond of Freddie, and very careful ; so I was not afraid to leave my little charge with him whilo I was indoors, and ho was veiy happy chatting with the good natured Irishman, and waiting my coming. It was early in November, and mother had dressed Freddie for tho first time in a jaunty suit of velvet, with a dainty velvet cap over his brown curls, when one morning I Bent him out with Dennis until I was ready to start. Looking out I saw him standing on the pavement, giving Nat, my horse, a long carrot he had procured in the kitchen, was telegraphed to come to him. Wo had parted," she added, turning to mother, "be cause his business had called him to Liver pool, and ho was afraid to have Freddio and mo go there on account of the cholera. Hut when I beard he was ill I went to him at once, leaving my boy with my husband's mother and sister. I knew they were not very fond of him, but I had no choice I dared not tako him to Liverpool with tho cholera raging there, and I had nowhere elso to leave him. I found my husband very ill, but he was recovering, when he had a relapse. Ho rallied from that and took cold, I think, or over fatigued himself, bringing on a second relapse that proved fatal. Du ring all hls'lllness I heard only twice of Freddie once that ho was well, once that he bad been killed In the street. I camo homo only two days ago, and they would toll'me nothing of where ho was buried nothing hut the bare fact of his death. I I oh, do not blamo me I I was on the way to the river to end it all when I met Freddie." Mother looked at me and whispered, "The grandmother who beat Freddie has driven her mad. Let her Btay with mo while you try to find out something about her." "But I have no right to force myself into her privato affairs," I Bald. "Sho is Freddie's mother. That gives you aright." It would be tedious to tell In detail all the long conversation that followed ; but, au. thorized by Mrs. West, I called upon her husband's lawyer, and there heard the story. "I think," the lawyer said, confidential ly, "that tho Wests are the proudest people I ever knew proud of their family, their money and their beauty. Carroll West was the only son, Lucy the, only daughter, when the old man died. He left a considerable fortune, but Carrol has increased his sharo of it to immense wealth.

A Ccntest with a Madman. TERRIBLE ENCOUNTER IN A CORNFIELD WITH A LUNATIC ARMED WITH. A William Taylor,a resident of Raisin town ship, was brought to the jail in this city on tho afternoon train from Tecumseh yester day. Ho was in an alarming slate of mad frenzy, aud officer Merrltt, of Tecumseh, had to call lu considerable assistance in getting tho madman off the train lnl o a back. Near ly all tho clothes were torn from the lunatic', hack in the operation. Taylor is an Eng lishman, and has resided In Raisin, where ho owns a farm containing two hundred acres, for several years. Ho has led tho life of a miserly hermit, being unmarried, and living alone. Some years ago, after having a fit, ho was temporarily Insane, but since that time ho has been considered as sane as numberless men are. Tho present attack has been on him for about four days, and his friends attribute it to overwork in tho heated hatvest field. He has been out of his head, but seemingly not dangerus, for three or four days. Yester day he went over into the cornfield of New ton Bryan, where a young man about twenty years old was at work, and asked for a drink. It seems he had been in the habit of going thero for cider, a jug of which was usually kept in the field. The boy told him thero was noting but water there, andthat the jug was at tho other side of the field. Taylor insisted that the young man should go along with him to get it. Accordingly the two started, and when about half way across the field Taylor grabbed his compan ion by the coat collar, and muttered : "I'll fix you before we get through." Tho young man, with the utmost coolness, replied: "I am not afraid ; I have never injured you, and you won't hurt me." Arriving at the fence, tho lunatic seized the young man by the hair, and, jerking back his head, pulled out a razor and yelled, "Draw in your breath, your time has come." Just as the maniac was drawing back the keen edged razor for the awful stroke that must have, severed his victim's head from his body, the young man struck him a blow in the face and leaped over the fence with the now thoroughly infuriated maniac, who is very powerful even when sane, at his heels. In tho next field a struggle ensued. It was life or death for tho young laborer, and he fought like a tiger, the lunatic mean time slashing right and left with the razor, with which he inflicted two wounds upon the the scalp of bis victim.

But while he lay unknown, my little pa tient was struggling hard for life agalnBt fever and injuries. He was delirious for many days, calling pitifully for "Mamma I pretty mamma I" begging her not to go away, and making our hearts ache by often crying, 'Oh, Aunt Lucy, don't beat Freddie! Freddie will be good I" or "Grandma, grand ma, don't don't 1" in cries of extreme terror. Mother would get so excited, with indigna tion over those cries that I saw that child had won a fond place in her warm heart. "He has been ill-treated, John, tbo pretty darling 1" she would say. "I hope the cruel people who could hurt Buchababy will nev er find him again." weight, and, crossing the pavement, came into the surgery. I shut out tho curious people who followed, and Freddie clung fast to the black dress, never ceasing his loud cries of "Ob, mamma I It is my mamma come home to Freddie. Mamma pretty! mamma. The sound rang through the house, reach ing my mother's ears.as she sat in her room. She came hurrying down the stairs, and entered the surgery just s Dennis deposited his burden in an arm chair. Comprehend ing the situation at a glance, mother tender ly removed the crepe veil and bonnet, loos ening a shower of brown curls, found a mar ble white face, still insensible. "You see, sur," said Dennis, "Master to the child, to revert again to the Wests, if he dies without heirs. Do you see 1" I did see. I saw again the hard, deter mined face leaning over the sleeping child, denying him ; the weaker woman sanction ing the deceit, but falling senseless in the room. I understand now the disappoint ment that had greeted the tidings that the child was neither dead nor dying, but recov ering. It was all clear to mo now, but I shuddered as I recalled the mother's face when sho confessed she had contemplated suicide rather than bear her widowed child less lot.

An unmistakable look of disappointment crossed tbe faces of my visitors, but the eld er one said, "Can we seo him, Doctor," I asked permission to announce their coming to my mother, and left the ladles alone.

I led tbe war to my mother's bed room, where Freddie was in a profound slumber. The younger lady shrank back in tbe shad ow of the bed curtains, but the mother ad vanced and bent over the child. Thero was a movement ot profound silence; then in a hard voice, the old lady said : "I am very sorry to have put you to so much trouble, Dr. Morrill. This is not the child 'of course it is.
