Garnet, an old hospital friend Of mine,
who had taken to Il simple country prac-
tice, while ! had been roaming about the
world ~ q surgeon in immigrant ships,
and during the Franco German war.
We had met after seven years, when
wanted n months quiet in the country,
and he had asked me to attend TO his
practice, while he came up to town to
piAs a degree, for he was Il hard studying,
ambitious fellow,
A man at the door desired me 10 come
over and see his master, who was dying
of govt. This was the announcement by
the seryant. Saving that ! had been

means Of some hoops from a small wooden
tub, ! made Il small gypsy tent over the
limb 80 that the coverings did not touch
the cxquisitcly tender skin, and ut the
end of half an hour had the pleasure OF
hearing a sigh Of satisfaction, Of seeing a
smile steal oycr the face, which was now
smooth and bcdcwed with a gentle per
spiration, and directly after, in Il drow5y
voice, my patient said
"Kitty, my darling, he's a trump.
Take him into the next room and apollo
gize to him, ind tell him Pm not always

He was half asleep already, while !
even in that short hour had fallen in.
