HIS FIRST PATIENT.
The C-mino Chnrco That MatJ
tho Doetor"3 rioputition.
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!" ( niiratively sjH'aUin- atr.- .til.
and p-isse i .me by. '1 hey evidently
Lxkeil on ii. y ahinrle a- a danger
nal. 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, luuduui," I went on,

.M:i:1:iiii," I said, in my lietit profes
sional manner, "she needs absolute
chancre of scene; rest, seclusion, una
or the usual renredies," 1 added,
vaguely. "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

A Story of
thG Aliig-iitor Cous
trj. A stray chicken wandered aimlessly
about a small clearing. 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. And every v. here chimlM-red
the fox grape and bignonia and wood
bine. lleyond "the c-eek and stretching
away for a hundred miles to the south
and west were the everglades. !n the
distance gleamed the blue waters of
Lake OUeecholN'C. To the east w as a
w ilderness, to the north twenty miles
of almost impeiirable jungl--. And
in the midst tiic little clearing, lonely
and wild and ugly. For. except v .ere
the Jog eal in stood, near the center, the
trees had leeu merely gin.ie I and now
rose white and ghostly, their gray,
skeleton arms creaking iind rrotining
v. ilk every passing breeze. Among
them were long ridges of Miivt-iMuto
vine?, and nearer the cabin a f.-w
clauips of gumlm and banana stalks.
A tall, solitary oleander iu full blootn
j.Uhh! near the water barrel, its frag
rant branches nearly hiding one end of
the cabin. A little to one side were
several neglected orange trees.
The cabin had tut two windows,
small openings which were closed vith
taiards when it raine.F Near one of
these a y.;ung girl w:;s preari.-g
"comptie." On the stove In-hind her
was the inevitable kettle of hominy.
As she worked she occasionally broke
into snatches of negro melody, ln-r
fresh young voice lloating out into
the forest and bringing quick r.--.'u.-s
I'roin mocking birds an I warblers.
Two men were working their way
through the thick masses of p iiiuello.
Suddenly they paused to li.-.teu.
"What a voice!" one of them ex
claimed. "A backwoods niglit ingal--."'
"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

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. ""Twar a-making fer you uns'
tent 1 "low hit smelt vitties."
Ami, sure enough, jtn immense cat
was found under one of the live oaks.
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.
" cs," lie said, qu'e-tly, "1 know the
iiqi -..-.il il Ity. I ha .v coaviaeo J my
self i f il a hundred times. The girl if
absolutily ignorant; a 'cracker' in the
extr. me sense of the term, while I a:a
wluit books and money have made
me. And yet." he continued, after a
pause, "as s. xiri as I convince rayy-lf of
its ::!isuri!itv 1 am sure to leg into make
plans to take her north and give her an
edu. ation. 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

"Well, lie did eat nt-out six biscuits

of buttermilk and tii-pose of lu aiiv a

Nelly caught lier mother in ln-r arms

"Well. 1 would approach him dif

And the two heads, one still brown
and handsome in .pile of the fine lines
of silver over the temples and the other
a bright chestnut, drew close together,
and in the golden suiishi-ie of the b-au-tiful
September ii.iv a il.irlt plot was
formed, and when Lob Harper came
strolling in with the most purposeless
air that ever conceived a purpose the
tame was imparted to him under seal
of sccresy. 1 hen when Nclly chanced
to walk as far as the turn of the road
ajj Hub tixik his way home, the doctor,
driving past was halted and made a
partner likewise inlhe mysterious bus
iness. The afternoon slipped away and the
day had given place to the purple twi
light when Hiram Helton awoke from
his pleasant nap and stretched out his
hand for the pitcher of ice water usu
ally placed right by his side on such
fH-casioUs by his devoted wife, but this
time be felt in vain. lie pressed his
hand on bis forehead and groaned
twice, thrice, very heavily, but there
was no one who came tip-toeing into
the room to 1n-ii.1 over him and leg to
know what ctotld le done. 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. No Harbara Misivcrcd, but in
a few minutes Nelly c.tmc nonchalant

"That you, father'.'" she said, care-les-'y.
Have you taken a la.y spell,
too?''
A fcroan wasthe reply, which brought
forth: "Drank too much buttermilk,
eh? I did myself, and 1 tell you it
gave me a pain."
"Where's your n. other?" put in the
insulted invalid, glaring at his daugh
ter. "Gone to bed. She had a headache
and I mode her go, for there was really
no reason for her keeping up if she felt
indi"- posed."
"No reason!" snorted Mr. Helton.
"And me as iii as I am! I wonder who
she thinks is going to nurse me? Hut
it is like a woman to give up to the
slightest ache or pain and just when
they are needed most"
"Oh, you w ill le all right in an hour
