DR.. Tanner answered in confident
one:-"Don't be alarmed about me

with that stomach and know it pretty
well. All can hear it say il say is more

so glad when heard the twelve O'Clock
whistle. l was hungry, tell you. My
stomach has lain idle long enough and
I've just told 1t 10 go 10 wo,k."

At ten minutes past four Dr. Huldah
T. Campbell returned this ime with
fsteak-half pound. DR.. Tanners
eyes flashed with delight. He fell to and
began to chew large piece Of the steak,
uttering not a word, but shaking his head
while DIR. Campbell was entering her
protest against his swallowing the fibre.
At length he said, 81 won't sW allow it."
and DR.. Campbell went down stairs to
attend to DR.. Gum, who she said was
sick indeed. DR.. Tanner chewed at the
beetsteak until fifty nine minutes past

fiber as he had promised and DR.. Kelley
asking how he felt he replied:-"I never
saw but one day when | enjoyed an
afternoon as | do this and that was on Il
like oct asion." He sat back in easy rocker
with his eyes closed while he chew ed the
steak.

could. | wanted to speak to you in the
hall last evening, but swas afraid it
might affect you and 3hen you wa ked
arou d the ball | had to turn my back so
that you might not recognize me. You
may believe ii made me feel better when
l saw you so lively in your walk. We
all feared that might find you prostrat-
ed. 1t will do the family good to know
how well you are looking now"
A health glow was overspreading DR..

more of that wine. That was bully

confessed himself very weak.
