opportunities, bat physicians and attend
ants had no faith In the experiments of

doubt alluded to as ''orank," 80 for nearly
a year he was waiting and watching for a
man ready to die.
The opportunity came at last; con-
aumptive wanderer from the east sought
relief In the western air He fell penni-
lesa, and was about to be taken by the
authorities to the county poor-houss
when Mr.. Holland interposed and had
him removed to his own home, to nurse
and watch him die. Through many
long hours of the night Mr.. Holland sat
by the bedside of his charge, tanning the
spark of life lest 1t should go out In the
night, when all efforts at the experiment
would be lost, and leaving orders by day
with his wifs 10 call him the moment the
patient seemed to be dying.
