The end of that wretched night came at
last. When the welcome morning broke |
found that great change had taken place
out of doors. The fierce snOwstOrm had been
the farewell of the frost. The heavy rain
that followed had filled the roads with slushy
and rapidly-thawing snow. managed to eX-
tort some sort of q breakfast from my host

my promise, not his deserts, started, as soon
as | could, on the bare back of my ,ynfOrtu-
nate steed, for Mdcombe, which place, after
my nights experiences, seemed gifted with
merits not its own.

find il was of larger dimensions than, from
the little saw of itduring the night, had
imagined. 1t was altogether better class of
residence than l had supposed. My surly
friend accompanied me until he had placed
me on the main road, where could make no
possible mistake. He was kind enough to
promise to assist any one might send out in
getting the dog-cart once more under way.
Then, with hearty wish on my part that
might never again meet with his like, we
parted.

My message to Brand was brief one. 1t
simply said: TELL your friend have found
speculation as TO the result from my mind,
and settled down to make up arrears Of sleep.
Twas surprised at the reply received that
same evening from Brand:-"We shall be
with you as soon as we can get down tO-mOr-
row. Meet us at station" From this il was
clear that my friend was wanted particular

found that owing 10 changes and delays,
they could not get TO c., the nearest sta

afternoon. l inquired about the crippled
dOg-cart 1t had been brought in so | left
strict instructions that shaft of some sort
was TO be rugged in time for me TO drive over
the next day and meet the doctor and his
friend.
They came as promised. 1t was a comfort
TO see friends of any description, so l gave
them hearty welcome. Carriston took hold
of both my hands, and shook them so warm

More than half an hour went by. / was
growing numbed and tired, and beginning to
think that we were making asses of our
selves, when / heard the rattle of a chain,
and felt CarriStOn give my arm a warning
touch. No doubt my late host had made

TO stronger test than that to which | had
subjected the former ones; so we were wise
in not attempting to carry his castle by force.
The door opened, and closed again. saw
the feeble glimner of a lantern moving to-

been stabbed. heard a slight rllstling in the
hedge, and, stretching out my arm, found
that Carriston had left my side. In the alb
sence of any command from him did not
follow, but resumed the old occupation
waiting.
In a few minutes the light of the lantern
reappeared; the bearer stood on the threshold
of the house, whilst wondered what CARTS

for the Doors re-admttance, dark figure
sprung upon him! | heard fierce oath and

A Washington street OTthOpedic artist,
speaking with Inc to-day about trIiSses and
hernia, told me of a queer suggestion made
TO him few days ago by prominent Chi
cagO Unitarian minister who called on him
to see about a truss for another person. In
the course Of the conversation the fact had
leen commented upon that hernia was not,
properly speaking, rupture at all. When
ever there is "A weakness in the muscles of the
lower abdomen, and AN inteTstice occurs even
three-quarters of an inch in diameter, the
peritoneum, or sack which contains the iutss-
tines, forces its way through the orifice, and,
little by little the intcstines follow, making
an outside bunch.
When this was explained TO the divine, who
was, of course, an ardent disciple of Darwin,
his eyes became fixed ON the floor for a few
moments in deep thought, and then, his cOun-
tenance lighting up with the joy of a new
discovery he said to the truss man: BY the
way has it never occurred to you that this
weakness in the muscles of the abdomen,
which exists i'll one out of every seven men
that walk the earth, resulted from the human
family Strengthening up and becoming bipeds
instead of qundTupedSl 1t seems to me that
We have a great argument here for the de
scent of man from the lower animals The
truss man says II may be 50 for all he knows.
Horses dogs, cats, and even canary birds are
often Tuptured, but in their case il can always
be traced to accident and mechanical force,
not to congenital weakness. Jour
