From a Physians Diary.
[Chicago Herald. ]


Physicians get hold of many family secrets,
and, to their credit be it said, hold fast to
soul was recently burdened with secret
which proved too good to keep, and here il
is: Until lately certain family living in
stone-front house on Washington boulevard
consisted Of man and wife and the wife's sis
ter. The wife was sickly, and under the ad-
verse influence of her iufrmities those
charms which once pleased the eye of her
liege lord had quickly disappeared. But the
sister had no i'll health, and, besides being
younger than the wife, was roster, plumper
and more cheerful than the unfortunate in
valid had been even in her best days. The
married man and the unmarried sister were
naturally thrown together. They played
crnquet on the lawn and cards in the library;
went driving to the parks or sat out on thu
porch of an evening, while the poor wife was
alone with her narse in her chamber. One
day in August the sufferer appeared to be in
| a worse condition than ever before. The
DOCTOR was sent for in haste, and the hus.
band and sister took up their posts at the
bedside. There were tears on their cheeks.
aud in the sympathy of their emotions they
elapsed hands and bent lovingly over the
form of the sufferer.
James" i" said the wife, II believe | am
dying. When l am gone you will take coed
care of sister Emma, won't you?"
'Yes, my DEAR" was the response, amid
sobs. Emma shall remain with ms. will
be father to her." .-
The dying wife looked the thanks which
her failing strength would not permit hel
to express in words. Thus encouraged the
husband added
sit cannot be that you will go and leave
me, my dear, but if you sh-should-- more
tears Emma and l have made up oul
minds to get married. We ask your blessing
on our union" .-"
And thereupon the mourners bowed theii
heads reVerenty in the presence of deatl
and to receive the blessing of the stricken
one. But the dying wife did not give then
the kind of blessing which they expected
! Despite the presence of the family physician
she raised herself in bed with an energ
a quite inconsistent with her supposed cond
, ton, grabbed her partner by the hair of hi
head and hissed out
'I've caught you two at last Just wha
o | expected-you were making love to eac
other while was sick. You thought wa
: dying, didn't you9 But amt; aud l.
/. outlive both of you yet. You impudel
things !"
Next day she was up and around I'll
r house, nearer well than she had been fl
n many months, and the doctor says she wi
n live thirty or forty years yet. The husbau
is now meek and lowly sort of man, viii
r, the sister is living with her uncle in Kansi
