Hiinti nnt. rai'nm. There's Been' tletnan o' tlmt name livlo' up statrs.but I cucas lie nltit no doctor." " I think it must bci'Dr. Boardman ; will you please Inquire?" Recoznlzlno- the voice at the door, Frank rah down, exclaiming': " How c'nu I am to see you. Aunt Ji.no I Come right tip.'' Aunt Jane, a corpulent out may, rustled her silks up tbe stairs and into thu room, talking nil the while. "Why, Doctor, what a time I've hud to find ou ( Haven't put your sign up yet ? Well. I never saw sucli a careless man I How tire folks to And you ?' "Do bo still, Aunt Jnne,"sald Frank, n an undertone. " No ono hero knows that I'm a doctor," Annle.bls young wlfe.closed tho door cautiously. "U.Aunt Jnnel" sue exciaimea"you talk Just as If " ' As If what, I should like to kdowt Folks here don't know that you'ru a doctor, eli ? Time they did, then, anil I mean to let tlium know it I Here I've been, tbe blessed day, going tip and down tho street, Inquiring for you." "Didn't you know our number? Thought I gave It to j-ou " " Know it ? of course I did. But I de termined that everybody In tho .street ftliiinlfl npnrtpll nr vnn. sn 1 npfrnn ftr. the lower end, and I Inquired at every house, all tho way up, whether Dr. ' lioaril man lived hero. I asked if they knew where he did live I, was sure ho was somewhere' in the neighborhood, and I wanted to Dnd him. Didn't call duywhere on this block, for I thought your sign would answer, the purpose, ily the way, I'll send your Uncle Bob arounj, ns soon as I go home, to put it up fur you. "Your rooms look very nlce,chtldren, considering that you baven't be.eu housekeeping a week yet. After awhile, when you fairly get to living, there'll be a book out of placo here and there, and a newspaper on the table, and a chair or so in the middle of the floor, to say nothing of your desk. Why don't you pull out one o' those drawers, and toss 601110 old letters on tho top of tbe desk, aud have a penwjper.and half a dozen pens lying beside your Inkstand ? Three or four of thbso yieat big doctor's books wouiu look wen tnere.stoou up on enu, aud leaning on each other. Do put some old scraps in yout waste basket, and try' to look a little like buines I This Isn't: oUlce hours, is it Frank ? What are you doing in tbe house, then ? Take -your hat tbls minute, and co in a liurry.as if you were sent for I" ' i Frame obeyed as quickly as possible, for Aunt Jane was nut to be illsregnr- ded. When he returned, Annie met him with a silent embrace, lit the hear of the stairs. As soon as the door was closed " y, Frank I you can't think what Aunt Jaue did I" she exclaimed. " What, Annie ?' " Well, that's the way ray t lories al ways begin, you know, well, when you were gone. Aunt Jane wauted to see your' sign, and I showed It to her. 6ho saia Ridiculous I tbe Idea pf put ting out a shingle that shines like a new dollar I Why, overybody'd know that he'd ueyer had a patient I' -Then she told me to, get some coal ashes; and, Frank, she actually scoured, your new sIed till Its beauty was all gone t All, the 'Japan' came off iu spots. I almost cried, bbt she .said' Now, Jnnle, none of your nonsense r aud I didn't dare. Then she said you know very well, nobodv wants to emolnv a vounir pliysclah) To be sure, they won't stop to look; at his shingle It might be old, ur it might bo uew ; and tbey wouldn't Know me ulllerence. Hut people tulio Impressions ten times where they think once. Some people never think ;' they live by Impressions. We say of .such a one, he'sa thinking man; that's because we Know mat ne depends ou something more than impressions. You! meet a (shabby looking fellow In the street ; you jiou t know whether his boots, or lis coat, or bis necktie is out of order, but the minute you set your eyes on him you know that he s beedy. Ho people take Impressions of yon from your dress and your gait ; and ot the I... - t . I . . . .. J inn uutjiup iiuuj ma maimer nuu uia sign. As long as a man has to depend on Ills sign, as Frank does, an old one Is more respectable' than' a, new Que, It looks like practice it looks like ex perience. Jf it is a little bit battered ns If It had been taken off some othor houe, to much the better,' yind, Frank, she actually bent your sign crooked, and then bent It back Scald, so that It would look 'a little worse for wear,' as i-he said. Then Aunt Jano was in a creat hurry to say cood-bye. She wanted to send Uncle Bob around right arvty, so that your slgu would.be up biforo you came. I'm dreadfully sorry, Frank, but you ar'ntangry, are you? You know .Aunt Jaue meant well " Frank kissed her sorrowful llps.lauch I Ipg at ber pretty apology. 1 "no, Annie, 1 couldn't ,be angry witnAunt jane. II x tried. I don't know but there's some phlloaophy In tbe old laay's reasoning, though It Is rather tough to have a fellow's things spoiled lu that way. But It can't tw helped now ; wouldn't do,, to take It down,' I thought my sign' looked queer when I cams in ; but 1 .couldn't well eeeit, lor tne lorn, n-jsvu stairs urre taking my lueaviuro from the window," '' I sUipo,e," raid A.iuiltt tirutliiu. herself on hli knee And twining her arms about his neck, " I suppoie they are very curious oy uns time, wneu Aunt Jane went, she talked about the " doctor" all the Way dowri ttalrs. Than Uncle Boh. came and sounded your trumpet well, I assure you." "Perhaps Aunt Jano has made me my f ot tun. Who' knows? At all events", she has done her best, and I shall bold her In everlasting remem brance, whether gratefully or otherwise, I can't say yet. The result shall de cide," " Ah I no, Frank. Be grateful for the intended kindness, let It result as It may." " Yes, yes, Annie ; didn't you know I was jesting?" Frank's'" perhaps" proved to be a certainty. In, less than a week he was aroused at midnight to attend a child dangerously 111 with croup. " It was merely by accident that I learned of you," explained tho father, as he led the way to his bouse. " An 'old lady was Inquiring for you .at our house, and my liitlu son 'told me' one evening that he iad seen your sign at No. CO," Frank found the child In imminent peril, but he wns, equal tq the emergen cy. In the course of a month, having treated several cases with marked suc cess, he was lapidly Introduced toptao-i tlco. fci Still in tho prime- of life, ha has, long enjoyed an independent fortune, lnnly Is still' beautiful, and trustful," still cateful in many things," Often, In tho happiness of their ele gant home, surrounded with lovely sous and daughters.they speak of Aunt Jane, who vtaa long rluce. laid to rest, and never fall to acknowledge that to her Innocent stratecy'Uhejfc .owe much of their success in life.. Tho Duke of Poitiand is the most co centric of noblemen. So far; as society I is concerned he Is dead to the world. He surrounds himself with an atmos phere of mystery, which no one, peer or commoner, ,1s permitted to penetrate. Even his own, solicitors, tho managers ot his enormous estates, ,nro never al lowed an Interview. Five years ago the Duke's annual Income was upward of 300,000, a,nd since that time it lias very considerably increased. His .
