SELECT STORY.
HIS IIRST PATIENT.
11V I'ltANIC II. si'AUI'I'KU.
Paul Veutnor sat alono in his of--
lice, his hands crossed on his knees, his
eves fixed utioii vacanov. tho liuht from
tho side-jet falling upon his woin, anx
ious face.
Tho loom was barely comfortable.
I'lie Hoor was covered with matting.
The wall paper was shabby, but was
ihcerlully relieved by a low clieap, yet
brightly colored, chronics, and the
heavily gilt frame which inclosed his
iliploma. A desk somewhat littered, a
bcok-caso but partially filled, an old
fashioned sola, and a few stulted, stitt
backed chairs, were all tho furniture
laible. Wo say visible, because with
in a small, curtained alcove, wero a low,
narrow bedstead, and a dingy toilet
Htand, in keeping with tho cracked
wash-bowl nnd pitcher which surmount
ed it, and with the rickety towel-rack
which stood 1 esulo it.
The doctor was quite a young man,
prepossessing in appearance, and posi
tive in his manlier his grave, thought
ful face indicating character and a fair
deirreo of reserved strength. His cloths
lad a seedv look: they wero entire, but
much worn, frayed around tho liulton
holes, tho faded binding rendered less
noticeablo by tho application ot ink.
in lact, tho doctor was very poor, and
the out look for the futino was in no
wise encouraging. Ho had been locat
ed in that quarter of tho city for three
months, and yet had not received
single professional call. Ilo had spent
his means, and had been compelled to
pawn his surgical instruments and a
few of lus books; he was in an card lor
boarding, while the landlord had given
him notice to vncato the room.
The doctor was not to blauio for his
straightened circumstances. Ilo had
practiced ugid economy; ho had nailed
up his sign and distributed his circulars;
ho was at least theoretically well up in
his profcrMou; his address was in his
favor, ho had patiently waited. There
was not much sickuess in tho neighbor
hood, and what little patronage there
was went into tho hands of the older
practitiontis. No wonder that, tho
vouug doctor's attitude was a forlorn
one, mid tho expression ou his face al
most devout ol hope.
buddenlvhis countenance brightened.
Some ono had pulled tho bell. Who
else, if not a liatient'? Ho opened tho
door, and a lady entered. She was
closely veiled, and yet he knew that shu
was young, because ol tho elasticity in
her movements.
You aro Dr Ventnor?" hho asked,
her voice sweet and distinct, though
slightly tremulous.
"At your service, madam, lie an
swered, with a polito bow. "Pray, be
seated "
She took tho clour which ho placed
for her, and removed her veil; and as
she did so, ho noticed that her hand
was small, white, shapely and hojowel
oil, nor laco was exceedingly lair,
though it wore a troubled look. Her
eyis wero black mid lustrous. Thoy
made a rapid survey of tho room, and
then rested upon tho doctor's faco in
such a steady, calctilaiiug, estimating
way, that ho felt the blood filling his
cheeks.
'I wish you to call upon my father,"
ho said.
"To-night t" asked tho doctor.
"Weil no," she debatingly answer
ed, "to-morrow win no. i ten you be
forehand, it's an odd case, and a ba 1
one. If you succeed in relieving him
you have only to nauio your fee."
What is his malady 7 asked tho
doctor.
"He's a hypneondriae,'' sho slowly,
lalf-unwillingly admitted, tho color
coming and going in her face. "Ilo has
a strange hallucination, and it ho is not
lifted out of it it will end in his death."
Tho doctor was becoming fascinated
Willi tho sweet voice, tho graceful gest
ures, tho black eyes, which grow more
lustrous because anxiety had filled them
with teats. Ilo drew his chair nearer
to her own.
"You hnvo consulted other physi
cians V ho asked.
'Quito a number," shn replied, a lit

Ho was more impressed with her

"Well," said ho, "there is no cncotir

I went down -street, and pretty soon I
went up on the other corner, and ho

didn't know what corner Daisy was
going to bo on, nnd ho had to cover
tho whole four corners. I asked him

said no, 'the mah was a little late. I

would cross over and go up the other

There was a girl or two going up
ahead of me, and I see a man hurrying
across from tho drug store to the other
corner. It was pa, and as the girls
went along and never looked around,
pa looked mad and stepped into tho

and pa was tired, and I went up to
him and asked him for half a dollar to
go to tho theatre. I never know him
