of another plan of making reformed drunk.

Sho engaged watchman for stipulated

freighten him little when he recovered
In consequence of this arrangement Philan.

and found himself lying on pine bench in a
strange and dim apartment Raising himself
up on his elbow, he looked around until bis
eyes rested on a man seated by stove smo

"Where am p said Ph;lander.
"In medical college" said the cigar-smoker
"What adding there?''
"Going to be cut up"
"How comes that?"
"Whyyon died yesterday, while you were
drunk, and we bought your body to make

"It's lie-I' not dead"
"No matter-we bought your carcass from
your wife, who had right to sci! it, for it's
all the good tina: she could make of you. II
you're not dead, that's no fault of the Doctors

"Ay, to be sure we will, now directl,," was
