It is thirty years since I put TTiV shinyle up. i had a very little money, so had Matilda; we wit.: desper iteiy in love with each other so much so thtit we really eon Id not alTord to vait; so Matilda and I rot married. 1 lay in wait for patients behind my ofiiee duor. Like a lititijry tiirer O'ruratiTely speakino-I cried aloud: '"1 'ky, dueUy darlirifr, come and Ik? killed." lint they did r..t come. The iluc-Ux I mean the -fattents merely st d: "tuack!"

Hut 1 soon nt ji lat-re prattiee atnonf th.; poor, and tln.M.' who eould not or would not pay. They appointed mi their ImhJv physieian. I need hard ly add that it was a purely honorary post. Now. there was a rich old maiden lady who lived opposite us; she was an eccentric but charitable old woman, and her nauie was (iiumpcr ( laris.i tilumper. There wa no elianeeof a woman like that foiuitiff to u-.e for ad vice. Dr. I'uUe was her medical at tendant. He seemed to le everybody's medical attendant that was worth at tending. My blood used to hoi! v ith in me with indifrnation whenever 1 was his mud bespattered carriage .and pair tearing about tho neighborhood. One afternoon, I saw Dr. Dulle'h coachman pull up at Miss (.lumper's door, and Matilda watched him thruuh the blind. "Jack," the said, excitedly, "he's only stopped five minutes; 1 timed him; and, oh. Jack! when he came out. he was as red as a turkey cock. Perhaps he's apoplectic," added Matilda, with a wistful siprli. "Oh, Jack!" cried amy wife, after an interval of a few mo ments, "there's the footman froir.g-post-haste for the medicine," and tLtii she suddenly clutched my v.ri.-t, her face prew ashy pale, and she hissed, in a hoarse whisper: "Oh, Jack! he's com iiifj here. Quick quick!" cried M tilda. In an instant she had carefully regu lated my craval. There was a tremend ous ring- at the floor. Of course, as ill luck would ha-we it. Mary, ourservant, was out, so, my heart beating wildly. I opened the door myself, and tried to look as unconcerned as possible. "You're to come across to the missus at once," said the pampered menial, in a patronizing- toue. "Is it very urgent?" I said, looking at my watch. "It's a matter of life and death." said the man, with, a vulg-ar grin, which I .could not understand. "I will attend to it immediately," I toll id. I had been smoking, so I took some tincture of cloves. Matilda sprinkled my hair and whiskers with eau-de-cologne. I thrust my instrument case into one pocket and my emergency case into the other, and then J tried to walk across the street in a diguitied manner, and, of course, failed miserably. The footman, who was awaiting my ar rival, was still grinning maliciously; he uabered me at once into the drawing room, where, by the fire, sat an old lady in black, sobbing bitterly. It was Miss (Humpcr the great Mias Glum per herself. "Are you the young man of the name of Pestle?" she saiiL "I am Dr. Pestle, madam, I re plied, in my haughtiest manner. "Quite so, quite so; I am sure I leg your pardon. Dr. Pestle," said the old lady, btill obbing copiously. "Dr. Pestle," she said, very solemnly, ''are you a man of the world?" A mystery -evidently a mystery. "Madam." 1 began, "I have never di vulged a professional secret " "We are wasting precious time. Dr. Pestle," said the old Lady, interrupt ing -me: "I believe her to l-e sinking fast hhe's all I have in the world, doctor. You won't mind seeing her, will you, as a favor?" ".Madam," I began, "as a matter of (-otnmoii humanity ' "She isn't human," she said. The old lady was in deep grief, and she carefully lifted a shawl which cov ered something that lay upon the sofa. On the cushion wa a fat pt' dog, panting convulsively. "Dr. Pestle," cried the old lady, "only save my darling's life, and there's nothing I won't do for you! Is there hope'"' tbe added, in a voice of agony. "While there's life there's hope, madam," I said, oracularly. 1 whipped out my emergency case and I attempted to administer a rem edy to my unfortunate patient. Tho beast tried to bite me at once. "That's a good sign, madam." I said; "a capital sign. She'll require care, great care," I added, "the greatest pos sible care; but we must do what we can for her.

"If yon will permit me to re move the little patient to my own resi lience, all that human sUill can do shall be done fw her; otiierwise," I addeil, and I looked tinntterable things, "iUici-si is wt-H-niU iuiposr sibl-." Jliss lUnmpcr clasped her hands in afony. "Its so hard to part with h-r, doctor," she sa'd. "The matter is for your considera tion, madam," I remarked. "Uut may I come and see her? ex- claimed Miss tilumper. "Xo, madam." I said, sternly: "the e-citomcnt of such interview-, might prove fatal to the patient's Lie." "OH. Flora! I'lora!" cried ?liss tilum per, and she dropped up. .:t her knees and kissed the patient's fat hack. "Would 3'OU believe it. r. Pestle." cried the lady, excitedly, --tiitit Dr. Dulle actually declined to prescribe for the little patient. I've lost all confi dence in Dr. Du le," she said; and then she rang the bclL Tho footman answered it. "Ailolphus J.ihn." said his mistress. "y will take I lora to this .eni Io nian's private residence: Twit will carry her with the utmost care. I will s.-n l my man every hour f r tidings. Dr. Pestle," said the ol 1 lady. '"I have trusted you. doctor," f-he said, tragical ly: "see that you do y.wr duty." and then, overcome by her .feelings, she hurried from the room. 1 accompanied 1 lora and' Adolphus John to my un houe. As sum as the mau had left I began to consider I lora"s case seriously. 1 determined to call in a consultant at. once. I knew not iiiii-f about dog-; but I knew a imai who did. After dark a person i vd laiuoiii apiearanec presei.t -d him-. If at tny back floor. No sooner ili.l he seethe ur, fortunate Flora than he pro nounced her case hopeless. "I'd have In r drowuded at om-.e, sir, if I was you." "You're quite sure the Wast won't get over it.'"' I a-keiL "She's as ivkI as deud alrea.lv." said the man; "she's got the y a Iters,' and lu r liver's goue to noi-hing." 1 had never even treated a case of "yallers!" lie did not seem in any doubt about his diagnosis. "I could get ye a better nor she for the matter of fifteen bob." he .-id, led. "I know of a dawg as is as like her as two peas; they might be twin.-., for the matter of that" "If you'll bring her to-night nnd she suits mc, I'll give you a sovereign," 1 said. I gave him half a crown, and, with a wink of thanks, he departed. In about an hour F lora had passed away. I buried her secretly in the back garden: I did not breathe a word of w hat had happened to a living souL About midnight the dog fancier ar rived, bringing another pug flog in a bag, the very iniae uf tiic deceased, but it was not so fat "Answers to the name of Popsy, gov'nor," remarked the man, "and 1 wouldn't Ik- seen with her in Camber well if I w as you. F"ye tumble?"' I hastened to assure him that I did tumble. I gave him his sovereign and let him out. All that night the new dog howled continually. We tempted it with the choicest viands, but the brute would not eat "She must be letter to make all that noise," remarked Matilda. "There is a marked improvement, my dear. What we have to dread is a relapse. In cases of er malignant yellows, solution of continuity fre quently takes place." .Matilda was perfectly satisfied. "'Flow tlreadf ul," she said. My wife and I fed that Ix-ast for a w hole fortnight as though we had iiei-n Chinese and were fattening it for the lalde. Lach dav I visited Miss tilum per and reported the patient's gradual improvement "You'll find linr much changed," I said; "the ptor thing's terribly pulled down and the memory almost entirely gone. It has been a wonderful case," I said "a wonder fully successful case: and, strange to say," J added, in a pathetic voice, "I've got to love the little tiling as though she were my own." Miss tilumper took my hand and burst into tears; her heart was too full for words. Of course ?Iutililti anl I always ad dressed the brute as I- lora; but it was some time before she wouid answer to the name. At length I brought home Flora to her expectaut mistress. "I shouldu't have known lu r," cried Miss tilumper, as siie fondled the brute and fed it with slices of cold chicken. Oh. Dr. Peslle. how shall I testify my gratitude to yon? Pray let me kuovv the amount of juy indebtedness." Put I drew the line at taking her money. "Madaia," I said. "I aiu only too glad to lie of Use to you." Doctor," replied the lady, "I'm eter nally obliged." For live-and-t weTity years Miss Glum per's account was as goo I as a hun dred a year to me. She left me a thou sand pounds in her will; but she did more than that '-Dr. Pestie,' she v. cd to say to every bod-.-, "saved a life that a very, very dear to me."

Now he j stopped to peck at bright pebbles, j then hopped forward to examine a bunch of tussock gr:iss. Then a rrass- j lmpiH-r attracted his attention. And i ail the time he was getting farther ! away from home. At last he paused on the bank of a dark creek and looked about curiously. It was a new world j to him. Near by a long black object i lay half imbedded in the sand. After ! watching it a few moments he hopped I nearer. Then camf a quick Hash uud snapping of teeth; the chicken's short drama was over. And the alligator's tail slid back into the sand, and his half-closed eyes resumed their air of sleepy unconsciousness. Overhead magnolias nnd live oaks mingled their branches, w hile here and there rose the stately trunks of royal palms. ( ireat masses tif azalea, agave and sensitive plants crept up from the atcr's edge and spread out over the banks.

"It must be oid DoIh-ssou'.s daugh ter," said the other. "I was here live years ago, and she w;n then the wild est and liappiest little thing I ever saw ail the time in the woods, chasing squirrels and imitating the niockiDg birds." ; Again the voice floated to them. As it died away the firr.t speaker drew a lung- breath. "What an acquisition she would be to my rustic chorus." he tald. - His companion laughed. "There you go again! Never a fine voice but you must be covetous. The penalty of Wing a theater manager, I suppose. Flut reaili-, Daniclson. you must not wake the ambition of this child of nature. She is like the birds, and New York would stiile her." A few moments later they emerged from the palmetto. As they crossed the clearing the young- girl left the window and appeared in the doorway, l'or a moment she merely looked cu rious, then a glow of recognition crept into her fawe. liefore they had time to speak she sprang down the steps with outstretched hands. "Mr. Low-cry. ferall ther worl'!" she cried, her eyes sparkling with pleasure. "Hit's mighty plcasan ter see yelx roun agin. Paw'll fcuttingly be glad ter see yell." "And I shell le glad to see him, Liza," said Mr. Lowcry. heartily. "We've had some rare huut together. Hut how you have grown. You ware only a little girl w hen I left" "An' like fer somc,o.ly ter make her liows an' arrcrs aa v,ro huntiu' 'cooters.'" Mr. Lowery smiled. "We did have some fine oootcr' hunts" he said; then, nodding toward his companion, added: "I've brought my frieuii, Mr. Dauielson, down to try alligator hunting. I tell him your father is probably the best 'gator guide in south 1 loriJiL" '1 he girl's face clouded. "Paw's in right pore shape," she said, slowly. "He war loV in the ev'glades an' got the sliakes jhiw'iuI bod. 1 "low he cuy'nt do no mo' guidiu' fer er long tiiue." The two men looked at each other in perplexity. Seeing this, the girl h;st eiicl to a id: 1'leb kin guide you uns lietter n anylxKly Ycpt paw. Ileain't but twelve years ol", but paw says w hat he don't know "bout "gators aiu't wuth takin' lessons on." Hut Mr. Iowcry looked doubt fuL "1 rcmcmler leb," he said, "but it strikes me that be would be a rather small chap iu case of an emergency. A twej ve-footer would bu apt to take ad vantage of him." Paw says tleb kin git away with mos' anythin'. He 'lows lac ar quicker nor lightnin." "Very well, we'll try him, of course. It is thirty miles to the nearest settle ment where a guide could In foumt Now. suppose w go in and have a talk with your father." An hour later Cleb came in, a smalL freckled-faced Isjy with quick, sharp eyes, w hich seemed to take in every thing. SfHin after appeared Mr. Low cry 's man with the camp equipage. "I suppose we can have the old camp site by the creek?" Mr. Lowery in quired. "Suttinly, suttinly!" responded Mr. lohcsson, heartily. "Yon uns act jes like yeh war't home an" he'p yo'sclfs. There's rafts o gyardea sass an' mel ons spiliu'." liefore night the camp was ready, and late in the evening the two men with their young guide went down the creek for a preliminary brush" with the allitrators. And it did not take .... - . - .. - - - long to discover that the girl's praise of her brother was IustiGable. As Mr. IO'.vi'ry's man said, he was a "peeler." Ik-fore many days the two men ex pressed themselves as perfectly satis tied with his services. As the nays went l-y the relations In- SI.50 and tween the house and camp grew more intimate. Mr. Daniclson. was an en thnsiast in his proe..ion and found th - voice of the young '".rl fully as at tractive as alligator hunting. Day after day he listened to her singing an I often accompanied it c. ith his own rich voice. A little practice and her quick ear c::ught the ;-ora airs; even ller teacher by the i xijii superli voic ui. re he li. ti v.a, sometimes surprised isl'n- rendering which her gave to them, and the tied the more be was Te solved to take her back with him to New York. "1 would like the training of such a voice," he said to Mr. Lowcry; "there is rare promise in iL" A few flays later they were standing near the cabin, making- arrangements for the next day's hunt, when -he sud denly snatched the rifle from Cleb's grasp, and, taking quick rtim, fireL A heavy era .h and scream almost instant ly came from the undergrowth near the camnu "liit"s a wildcat," she said, in explan ation.

As Mr. Lowery pointed lo the small wound in the base of the skull he looked at hi., companion signiiieantly. "You or I," he said, "could never have done this at such a distance." Mr. Danielsou made no reply, but he looked at the strong, lithe figure of the young girl with renewed interest She will In a grand woman some day." he thought. "If only her lan guage was not r.o barbarous." Hut as the we.Us went by even her language seemed less harsh to his ears. Sometimes her quukit expressions seemed jxisitivelv charming. And hT eyes were so brown and deep o frank and ojwn what mattered a few oddi ties f expression? One day Mr. Lowery took him to task. "Vivi must go slow. Daniclson." he said, kindly. "You are but twenty five, and Liza is no ordinary giiL Put you know the impossibility. "" I"or a moment his companion made no reply; tl.oii Le raised his eyes slowly.

With her capacity, an edu cation would be a matter of little dili culty." "ltut you must have her consent, and excuse me the whole dan is idi otii;." I know it." A moment later he arose and walked toward the cabin. Mr. Lowery watched him curiously. -I fancy our alligator hunting is about over," he thought The next afternoon, as the two were practicing tliiets together, Mr. Daniel son asked the yirl, in c matter-of-fact tone: "How would you like to go north and study music. Liza?" She raised her eyes frankly. This was one oi her attractions she never showed embarrassment or self-consciousness. "I us - ter 'low I'd like ter learn things right much," she said, pimply; "but sen' paw's been sick an' money skase I've gin hit all up. Hit mus" be gran' ter know tilings like you uns." There was a willfulness in her voice which he tool: instant advantage of. "If yoa could arrange to go north with us," lie said, eagerly, "you would have a chance to learn everything-. My mother would look after you, I am sure." "Hits too late aa' thar's other things." "What?" Rut at this moment Mr. Lowery came up. With hirn was a tall young mau in rough costume. "llxe-jM- the interruption, Daniel son," said Mr. Lowery, "but I want you to know my friend Norton. You've heard me speak cf him. My guide among the Keys saved my life oil Anclote and nearly lost his own." Mr. Daniclson advanced cordially. He had beard many stories of this brave guide this Apollo among the cowboys. Hut liefore he could grasp his hand a lithe figure sprang before. Oh, Hob! We didu' 'spec yeh 'fore orange-pickin'." Then, turning about, she added, with a charming air of pro prietorship: "Hit's my Hob." Waverly Magazine. A Man'a Inronaiatenciea.

His groans grew louder and more alarming, and still they produced no effect so present ly the invalid r.ii ,ed himself slow ly, an.L advancing to the door, culled faint ly: "liarbara!"' returning to his couch at once.

"Where's your n. other?" put in the insulted invalid, glaring at his daugh ter. "Gone to bed.
