relied upon than their predecessors,
Mr.. BrabaZon asked permission to call
at the Consulate, to inquire how she was,
in the course ola day or two; and Miss
Barony accorded the permission as
young queen might have done.
Miss Barony was young, beautiful and
piquant; Mr.. Brabazon, whose life had
been nearly badgered out Of him by the
ca{,rices, exactiOns and varying temper
Of the late Lady Helen, was charmed
by her sunny brilliance; and at a
months end he came to Mr.. Barony the
United States Consul, to ask permission
to press his suit with his niece
Mr.. Barony looked conscious.
"Didn't you know" said he. "She is
engaged"
"Engagedv' repeated Mr.. Brabazon.
his heart seeming to turn to a lump of
ice within him.
''Quite an old affair, 1 believe" said
the consul. 'FBut perhaps you had bet
ter see my niece herself about it. III
give her your message. She can decide
to suit herself"
Miss Barony was prettier than ever, in
her cool muslin dress and pale-bluc rib
bons, as she sat among the iassanines
and pomegranates Of the consulate re-
ccption room the next day to receive
Mr.. Brabazon. He had a speech care
fully prepared, wherein all the nomina-
ives and subjects were carefully bal
anccd, and the exact words stationed in
their exact places; but he forgot it all at
the fair vision Of her perfect loveliness,
and could only stand helplessly before
her and say:
"Miss Barony, love you"
$50 you have been driven to confess

these years!"
II don't understand you," said Mr..
Brabazon.
''You have forgotten me-" saidRosa.
"fhat would be impossible," assevcr-
ated Mr.. BrabaZon, earnestly.
''But its the fact" said she. ~ am

"Tcs, YOU may hope," whispered

OF interest to non professionals from the

surgery therein Indicated. Taking for his
subject peritoneal surgery OF, to express it
less technically, internal surgery, the dis

take TO treat wounds Of the internal organs
with almost as much familiarity and free
! dom az those of the exterior of the body.
The danger of laying open the body is not
nearly so great as is generally supposed,
and with their numerous successes in
ovariotomy, in extirpating the spleen, the
kidney, the uterus, in opening the bladder,
| the gall bladder, and making CHsarian
aud other incisions, surgeons have gained

to suffering humanity. Referring to the
case Of President Garfield, he said that
when the case was first reported to him he
had said that If the bullet had entered the
internal cavity of the body he would not
! hesitate to "cut into the abdomen, sutu1e
the intestines, if needed. tie the bleeding
vessels, cleanse thoroughly the peritoneal
cavity and insert drainage tube. The
recent records of abdominal surgery show
with what impunity we can and do perc-
trate the abdomen, and not only justify bEs
render imperitave such interference. Dr..
Sims insists upon the great Importance Of
draining the internal cavity of the body
when any organ it contains has been in-
jured by a gunshot wound, ana thinks,
after obser ing many cases, that death from
| internal wounds is commonly due, not to
peritonitis, but to septicanlia, brought OH
by the presence of blood and serum which
have not been removed. t'There is 10
more DANGER" says the doctor, ''of a per-
son dying from gunshot or other wound
of the peritoneal cavity than lr,n'
ovariotomy.; Whatever internal organ has;
been Injured the drainage is absolutely
| quired, and Ito secure this drainage it is
necessary to open the abdominal cavity
without delay"
