Aunt Jane's Strategy.
BY IlCreKLLA BCUULTX.
" Does Pr; Boardman live here?"
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

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 ;
