MBS. PARSONS, II. D.
HERE are so many
fools in the world
that I do not mind
confessing that I
was one of them for
a few dismal years.
Not one of the oom
plncent, happy ones
either.
To begin with, I
took up medicine
comparatively late
in life. They bad made an arohitcct
of me, bat I soon found myself kick
ing vigorously against that honorable
profession. After a deal of persuasion
I was allowed to enter as a student at
Bart's, and for two years worked
hard.
I read a good deal at the British
Museum, like other fellows, from the
8th of August, 188, always at the
B. 11 seat
Why, yon ask, always at that place?
Well, because it was on that date
that the most charming little woman I
ever saw first came and occupied the
seat marked B 12. I hoped she wonld
keep to that soat, and so she did. The
pile of books she used daily staggered
me, and of course it would have been
troublesomo to alter the indications
on all her reference slips if she had
changed or been ousted from B 12.
From the 9th of August, 188, it
was generally a toss np whioh of us
was the first reader to appear in the
reading room.. The assistants often
smiled.
Her name was Bella Whitcomb. I
learned that very soon. An official
left one of her slips on my table by
mistake. She had asked for Stranss's
famous "Lecture on Cardiao Trou
bles." and the slip camo to me marked
"In use." I had the greatest pleasure
in the world in returning the slip to
her with a smile. Then sho smiled
back at me with those sweet, brown
eyes of hers and remarked, "tVhat a
nuisance! 1 did so want it"
After this wo often exchanged words.
Trivial words ! Any pretext was good
enough for mo that procured me a
glance or a smilo from her.
I did not got on at all with studies.
If I had not been a fool (from the pro
fessional point of view), I should have
bolted to the W or Y part of tho room ;
but I had conio to tho conviction that
it was more enjoyable to fail in my
exams, and seo Bella every day thnn
pass with distinctiou at tho cost of
severance from her.
Blissful, lazy, heart breaking, anxious
hours! Day after day, from half-past
nine until tbreo with au interval of
three-quarters of an hcur for lunch.
Bella was brought to the Museum
every morning by a maid; the maid
took her off for lunch, and the maid
was always waiting among the pigeons
under the portico from five minutes to
three in the afternoon.
There was no gotting rid of that
precious abominablo domestic.
When wo had known each other a
month I proposed (it was a wild, foolish
thing to do) to accompany her toward
Buyswatcr on an omnibus. Tho maid
was to go inside, eho and I outside.
But it was uo go.
"My futhcr wouluVi liko it, Mr.
Marrablc," bho said, with u sympa
thetic smile.
I tried whispering conversations
about the weather, text books, exams.,
and bo on ; but, to say nothing of the
frowns I raised on other studious faces
and a formal protest from tho gentle
man on his throne in the middle of
the room, Bella did not greatly cu
courngo me.
"I am here to work," sho wrote on
a slip at one time and pushed this to
ward me.
It will hardly bo credited, but I os
tentatiously put that slip to my lips
and then folded it and plaoed it in
my watch-pocket tho heart pocket.
How she looked at me when I did
this. An ordinary girl would have
giggled. Sho did not gigglo, an J
thenceforward her smiles were not
quite what they had been. The pen
sive seriousness in them, however,
made her more and more dear to me.
Even when, for a joke, I recommended
her to ask for Spencer on "Shoulder
Blades" a well-known absurdity sho
only gave me a little reproving nod of
her pretty head, with tho bronzo col
ored hair and the tiny shell ears.
So it went on until Novomber, when
1 could bear it no longer. I knew less
about surgery and medicine than in
July.
"1 must ipeak to you atlunohoon,"
I whispered to her that morning. My
face impressed her. Besides, thore
was another reason why she should
assent.
We came out among the Egyptian
tombs, mummies and things. I told
ber aba was everything to me life,
blood, amoillon, Happiness, ana, as
was right, she believed me. Better
still, she admitted that I was much to
ber.
"iiut, ruilip, sue added (1 was
holding ber hand ; we had wandered
into a Greek statuary room, where
there was no soul else), "it must all
depend upon my father. If you satisfy
him, I shall bo a very happy girl."
The Greek statues had, I daresay,
seen a great many people kiss eaeh
other two or three thousand year ago,
but they never saw a mora earnest
exchange of such tokens of affections
than our.
"To-morrow, dear," said Bella, "at
11 o'elock, would be the boat time for
him."
followed, unmarred . by my sister's
scoff at the idea of my marrying a
medicine woman so she termed my
Bella.
But when I was at Bella' father's
door I did not feel happy. What were
mv prospects? I bad a hundred year
of my own ; nothing else.
Of all things, too, Professor Whit
comb was a teacher of philosophy. It
is just those men who are ao concerned
with ideals that look ao tremendously
sharp after the downright material
good things of this life.
The gentleman disconcerted me from
the outset by his formal manners and
his blue glasses. Up wont bis eyebrows
when I told him what I wanted. Still
he heard me to the end. Only when I
had exhausted all my powers of as
severation about the great things I
oould (and wonld) do, with Bella en'
gaped to me, did he oongb, and pass
sentence.
"I never in my life, Mr. "
(glancing at my card) "Marribone,
heard anything more absurd or im
practicable than your proposition. I
have nothing more to say. Good
morning."
When I was outside I held my senses
just sufficiently to rush back to Great
Russell street Some one else got my
scat, of course ; a hulking, raw, young
Scotsman, also a Bart's man. I waited,
however, till lunch time, and then told
ber all.
"Poor Phil!" said she. "I I'm
afraid it is all over!"
We are again among the Greek gods
and goddesses. She cried gently as she
spoke.
Bat vou love me? i asked in a
boiling rage against fate.
'lee, I love you, said she, chok
ingly.
Very well, thon, I snail win yon
yet. Bella, always" love me and things
will right themselves."
The kiss we then exchanged seemed
our last, lor, though I saw ber in the
afternoon, she never appeared again in
tho reading-room.
I wrote to her and received ono let
ter in reply as follows:
My very Dear l'hil Papa forbids
me to correspond with you in any way,
and I must, alas, obey him. I can
ouly repeat what you knov. . You arc
eushrined in my heart. Let us prsy
that the future may bo brighter for us
both. Your Fond Bella."
Sweet, sweet letter, in spito of tho
despair it indicatod !
For the ensuing fortnight I was like
ono boreft of half bis senses. 1 tried
to work could not, and ran down in
health at a gallop.
I learned that Professor Whitoombo
was a cold hearted, scheming monster.
Ho worshiped rank add money, though
he taught the pursuit of the noblc.tho
true, and the beautiful. Hypocrite!
It was plain I had nothing to hopo for
from him.
Then my father compelled me to sec
onr doctor he and they all were so
alarmed at my personal appearance,
plus a cough.
The upshot was that in mid-Dcccm-
bcr I was in the Bay of Biscay, bouad
for Australia, It was my only chance,
said the doctor. Ho little knew. , Ono
word from that philosopher fellow and
would have been a Hercules in live
minutes.
However, the P.ubicon was passed.
I had written "goodby" to Sella and
received no answer.
Landing at Melbourne, I nt once
mado arrangements for goiu;j up
country, to present certain letters to
a cattla owner, Mr. Grant, among
whoso ucrcB and quadrupeds I was
supposed to have tho best possible
chance- of regaining health.
And hero I settled down.
It was less than eighteen months
afterward that I received an awful
note from Professor Whitoombo, in
forming mo that his daughtor was
married to a "distinguished collogue,
in every way ablo to insure her happi
ness." That was how ho put it. I was
further requested to seo both tho ab
surdity and impropriety of continuing
to address letters to Bella at her fath
er's houso.
My own people confirmed tho mis
erable news. Thoy didn't know tho
particulars, bnt they had seen Bella's
namo in the Times.
Once more I had a fit of raving, but
it passed, and then I sot to work to
niftko money, tho only aim that seemed
left to me.
Under advico from Mr. Grant I had
already bought a good blook of land.
1 now prepared to stock it.
In three years I was worth 10,000
and scant joy the knowlodge af
forded me.
This, however, was nothing to what
happened in tho fourth yoar. Gold
was discovered all along our line of
country, and an expert I had told me
I was a millionaire. So it proved.
After a vast deal of exoitement with
flnonoior and company promotors, I
oloared out of the eouutry fabulously
rich, considering my antecedents.
But though rich, I wasn't happy,
being one of those follows, sometimes
enviable and sometimes to be pitied,
who, having once desired a thing, are
never happy until they have got it'
Moreover, my heart bad gone wrong,
what with the excitement and my
rather rackety, desporato wayof liv
ing latterly. " V
The first thing I did in town, after
greeting the old folk, was to consult
old Jensen of Bart s. To my dismay
he agreed that my heart was really
verv wrong. '
"What has done it?" he asked.
"Disappointment," I replied, care
lessly, a my thought roenrred to
Bella. .,
"By the way," he added, "there's a
downright clever woman, specialist I
would strongly advise you to see."
"You soy that!" I exelaimed, aston
ished, for the dear old chap knew all
about my other case, and also had, in
the old time", expressed his contempt
for the fair sex as medicine women.
" mean it, Marrablc, I seriously
ciura you," be replied, with a curi-
Ao exciting bat felioitoa evening ; oui little cough. "She's written a re-
markable little monograph. . Here, I
have it by me."
Ha ahowed it to me, and a brief
glance proved that the writer at least
knew ber subject. "Mra. B. Parsons,
M. D.," waa ber name.
Then with a shrng I promised Jen
sen I wonld aee the lady. Heaven
bless the old chap. And what excellent
luok it waa my thinking to go to him
for advico.
- I waa inwardly aomewhat amnsed
tbe next morning, when I called in
Harley street, and joined a couple of
demure, middle-aged females in Dr.
Parson s's waiting room.
In leas than half an hour I waa
something infinitely better than
amused.
"Be so good aa to step this way,
sir," said the man, and I aud my card
entered Bella's sanctum together.
"Bella!" I cried, and "Philip!"
cried tbe, and we were in eaoh other's
arma before the amazed servant oleared
out of the room.
It was a tremendous meeting, and
minutes passed before I recovered my
sanity. Then with a fresh prick at
that troubled heart of mine, I ex
claimed :
"But your husband! Good gracious,
what bate I done?"
"He ia dead," she said. "It was a
wrotohed business. My father had set
bis mind on it and there seemed
nothing for it but to make him happy,
seeing that I could not "
"Could not what, Bella?"
"Could not make yon believe that
you were happy," she said shyly.
"And your father? Oh, but never
mind now. That is to say (for I was
conscious of my meanness), I hope be
is well, my darling."
"No, Philip; he, too, is dead."
I am sorry to tay that the news did
not grieve me.
Then I started and told Bella every
thing, and afterward she told me
everything. By the time that we had
done with our respective histories the
morning was far spent.
"And now, dearest, you must pre
scribe for me," I said, and I related
my symptoms.
But she showed such a sweetly grave
faco at my words that I shuttled out of
tho rolo of patient back into that of
lover.
"At any rate, my Bella, you will
now bo my lile's physician?" I asked.
And so oho is. We study eaoh
other's hearts that is the main busi
ness of our two lives. Nornm I nearly
as bad a subject as old Jonscn made
out when he sent me where he believed
aud fully hoped I should find my cure.

Types ol Kentucky Saildle-lloisrs.
Kentnckions have bred saddle-horses
for beauty aud charm, and havo got
them. Thero is a charm about the
Kentucky horse that no other Ameri
cau horso has. No other animals 1
havo met in the country exist in the
memory with quite the fascination of
certain horsos I have seen in Ken
tucky. There was, for instance, a few
miles from Lexington, a roan gelding
that had this fascination to a high de
gree. Ho had tho graceful Kentucky
characteristics and yet with a differ
ence. His beauty appeared particu
larly in tl n shape of the rump and in
tho carriage of tho tail. Thero was an
exquisito trick in the conformation of
the quarters. "Charming and very
Kentucky," you said, as you looked at
them, aud yet you felt you hod never
H2cu quite that before. It was per
haps a bold flight nearer the Kentucky
ideal than you had seen. This quality
of tho liguro was certainly due to an
iufusiou of tho Denmark grace. The
tail was the other chief bbiuty. Thero
was au Jury grace iu the carriage of it
which reminded you of tho fortunate
work of boilo architect of genius.
"What havo you done to him?'1 lsuid,
roferriug to the graceful lightness
with which the tail was held. "Noth
ing," said tho farmer ; "as you drive
out of the gate you will seo his old
dam in tho pasture to the left, and you
will seo that alio errries just the same
tail that he does." I did look at tbo
mare on tbe way out, and it was so.
This carriage of tho tuil is also a Den
mark characteristic It is said, by the
way, that this tail has been transmit
ted to tho Kentucky home from tho
Arab progenitor of the English thor
oughbred, and that the trait ia due to
the fact that the hair was not allowed
to grow upon the tail of an Arab till
he was five years old ; the custom of
keeping tbe tail shaved, observed
through many generations, made it
thus light and easily held up. Har

A Curious Accident,
A naturalist whoso tastes lead him
to the investigation of curious phe
nomena, baa found a number of deep
sea fish dead from what appear to be
internal explosions ; indeed, this was
the precise cause of their death. A

for its prey and reaohes a higher level
than that to whioh it ia adapted. Im
mediately the swimming bladder,
whioh is filled with ' air, beoomes dis

upward at a great rate of speed. As
it asoends, tbe pressure on the bladder
decreases, and probably long before
it reaebea the aurfaoe it burst. In
some oases there ia scrioua distortion
and mutilation, tbe creature being al
most torn in piece. There have boen

A Protest Against Morbldaess.
The Apostle' Injunction, "Let every one
of us please his neighbor for his good to
edification," bring out tbe sunny side of the
ideal Christian life. It is a protest against
the morbidness and the niournfulness which
are too commonly associated with Christian
discipleshlp. It help us to draw a distinc
tion between seriousness and .dullness,
between earnest nee a of purpose and fri
gidity of soul. It reminds us that whatever
throe aud pain may attend the germina
tion and growth of the ideal life, that life
should present to the world the rich
blossom and fragrance whieh minister
pleasure to mankind. There Is, therefore,
some flaw In tbe piety which is repellent,
and In the zeal to do good which succeeds
ouly in biding tbe beauty of holiness. If
there were any doubt on this point, it would
only be necessary to bring it to the test of
tbe one Ideal I.tfe lived among men. No
life ean eonipare with His in the sense of
solemnity and seriousness. Upon Him luy
tbe burden of the heaviest task ever Im
posed upon man. Through sorrows un
speakable, yet with unfaltering step, He
pressed on to tbe goal of sacrillce. Yet,
from first to last, Ho exercised upon men
the ehurm of an attractive spirit, which
made them feel it was happy to be good.aud
scattered around Him liifluenees whieh
added to the Joys and delights of life. Aud
in this matter of wlnsomem-ps. His disciples
have great need to learn of Him. It is
their iluty to cultivate His charm, to dis
cipline Ou-mHelves into His power to make
the world brighter and men happier. A
crotchety Christian Is a monstrosity. The
man who falls to spread pence, Joy, hope.
In this world of real and countless sorrows,
is an enemy of the race and a criminal be
fore Ood. For foremost among the marks
of the Ideal life Is the faculty of enjoying
and dispensing the glmluess of the Creator.
