however, when told my story sht
forgaye the delay, and in talking
over the strange circumstances oI
the night We forgot for the time our
own troubles. My wife insisted
that something good would come
out of the matter, and eight o'clock
next morning she reused me, and
made me set of for the hospital.
As ] was on my way there my eye
was caught by an advertisement on
boarding
"ONE HUNDRED POUNDS Re-
wARD.-A Gentleman of umsound
mind has escaped from the M
Private Asylum. The above re-
ward will be paid TO any person find-
ing him md restoring him to his
friends"
Then followed q description which
exactly Tailed with the appearance
OF my patient. Everything was
now clear to me, and / fairly ran to
the hospital.
Here, however, my hopes we're
damped, for I found that policeman
z had gone there before me and told
a story very different from the true
one, which have narrated, and had
actually gone the length of warming
the authorities against me. The
solicitor whose address was given in
the advertisement had been sent
for, and the worthy constable had
evidently determined to brazen it
out and secure the hundred pounds.
| saw the house-surgeon, and told
him the whole story. He thought
for a few moments, and then said,
1--WE must get that girl at once"
l went myself Immediately to the
wretched den where she had stop
ped, and brought her back with
me. A very short examination be-
fore the solicitor settled Policeman
rs case; and an hour afterward !
was able to go back to my wife with
more money in my pocket than |
had had for many long day.
But that was not the best of it.
| visited my patient-who was no
other than the wealthy baronet, Sir
Charles Frampton-every day. He
seemed to take strong liking for
me, and when he was well enough
to be moved, his friends proposed
that / should take him under nv
care. He was perfectly harmless,
and, after residing abroad with us
for a couple of years, he so far re-
covered that he was enabled to dis
pense with my services, and to man
age his own affairs. He showed his
gratitude, however, in most prince
ly fashion: settled an annuity on
poor Mary Kennedy (she had been
previously been literally rewarded
by his friends), and bought me the
practice which / still hold. From
that day everything has prospered
with me, and / am now rich enough
to leave the work to my eldest son,
and amuse myself in writing some
of the curious incidents of my life.
not the least strange of which is
the providential occurrence in the
Gray's Inn. Road.

The meeting of the republican
centra! committee of this county
was held in Butler Saturday with
closed doors, and little information
of what took place behind the cur
tain was given out. A TINES report.
er, however, learned from one of the
members that the matter of filing
up the gap in the county ticket made
vacant by the withdrawal of three
of the nominees was discussed and
it was decided to make the ticket
complete by placing the names of
three other gentlemen on the ticket.
The comitteeman said this would
have been done at this meeting, but
for the fact that the committee did
not desire to bluuder as the conven
ton did, by nominating men without
their knowledge or consent.

cystitis of the bladder, a disease that
he has been troubled with for more
than a year. A large farmer and
stock raiser, and as citizen stood

neighbors. He had been a resident
of the town of Pleasant Gap for the
past % years Mr.. Wayland was a
native of Abemarle county, Virginia.
and came to Missouri in 1867 and
settled in Johnson county, moving

Tent Shows Ever Seen Here.
hankakee (Ill Gazette, June 9, 1852.
Walter L. Mains S circus on Mon
day was an eye opener for those who
because the show is a stranger in
this section, anticipated that it was
cheap concern. The immense
auditorium and meuagerie tents
were none too large for the features
which made up one of the best
shows yet seen here The morning
parade was clean, bright and
handsome display Of new wagons
and magnificent horses. The acts
in the three rings and the racing
features of the hippodrome course
were first class in every particular.
There were no confidence men
hanging upon the outskirts of the
show, and all the employees We're a
we'll behaved lot of people. a
show given for the pleasure and en-
tertainment of the people, rather
than for every dollar which can be
squeezed or stolen out of their pock
cts is worthy of high praise. The
Main show justly bears a fine repu-
tation III the east, and will win gold
en- opinions on It's present western
tour. Come again.

dence of wealth, refinement
and elegance may give cordial
welcome to one of the beauti-
full Maple Bedroom Suits at
