Dr.. llolton had been for many years the
sole physician of the little village of
Sa-o; but as his custom was extensive,
he had recently taken into his Office a
coadjutor by the name of james Dickson,
a smart, handsome youth, with restless
black eye, and that audacioos, enterprising
manner which we ut once admire and dis
trust. He had bold, ready wit, and a
fruitfulness Of invention, which won the
entire admiration Of the good, easy doctor,
and by which he acquired almost unlimited
influence over him. The good man had
taken Dickson 10 relieve himself Of por.

Of his art. He talked roundly of the skill
and address of Dickson, repeated his iests

pithy of which was latent TO all but the
