renee from all sections Of the country, by

POLLY GRAY AND THE DOCTORS.
BY SEBA SMITH,
THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF MAJOR JACK DOWNING
[ Continued. I

Continued
"Yes, full we'll enough said Doctor
Longley, "but [ had rather you would be
in the scrape than I should.''
That evening, half an hour after dark,
there was light rap at Joe Palmer's door
in the third story of one of the college
buildings. The door was partly open, and
Joe said "come in" No one entered, but
in few moments the rap was heard again.
"Come in,'' said Joe. Still no one entered.
Presently figure, concealed under cloak
and with muf1ed face, appeared partly be-
fore the door, and said something in low
voice. Joe looked wild and agitated. Some
college scrape, he thought, but what was
the nature of it he could not divine. The
figure looked mysterious Presently the
voice was heard again, and understood to
utter::the word Palmer. Joe was still more
agitated, and looked at his chum most in
quiringly. His chum stepped to the door
and asked what was wanting. The figure
drew back into the darkness of the hall, and
answered in faint voice, that he wanted
Palmer. At last Palmer screwed his reso-
luton up to the sticking point and ventured
as far as the door, while his chum stepped
back into the room. The figure again came
forward and whispered to Palmer to come
out, for he wanted to speak with him.
But who are you ?" said Palmer.
The figure partially uncovered his face,
and whispered, "Doctor Stubbs."
Palmer at once recognized him, and step
ped back as bold as lion, and took his hat
and went out In few minutes he return
ed and told his chum, with rather myste-
rious air, that he was going out with
friend to be gone two or three hours, that
he need not feel uneasy about him, and
might leave the door unfastened for him till
he returned.
Doctor Stubbs, having given Joe and Ru-
fus full directions how to proceed, telling
them to get large wide chaise, SO that
they could manage to carry the corpse con-
veniently, and informing them where they
could find spades and shovels deposited by
the side of the road for the purpose, left
them and hastened home.
"Well now, Rufe," said Joe, "we'l jest
90 over to Jake Riders and get one of his
horses and chaise. But we needn't be in
hurry, for We don't want to get there much
before midnight; and we'll go. into the store
here and get drink Of brandy to oegan
with, for this kind of business needs little
stimulus"
