LOOKING FOR THE DOCTOR.
An Anxious slight Passed In watching and
waiting.


One OF the best stories in Mr.. Barrie's
delightful Scotch book, "a Window in
Thrums," is entitled waiting for the
Doctor" jess, the mother of the fam
lily, u cripple who had not been out of
the house, and seldom out OF the room,
for twenty years, had gone early 20
rest, and the door of her bedroom in the
kitchen was pulled TO. All at once she
called; "Lecbyw Leeby was the daugh-
ter. She answered aye" and IIendry,
the father, opened the door of the bed
room. Yer mothers no weel," he
said to Leeby. Leeby ran TO the bed.
In another two minutes we were a
group Of four in the kitchen, staring
vacantly. Death could not have star
tied us more, tapping thrice that quie
night on the window-pane.
Its diphtheria!" said Jess, her
hands trembling us she buttoncd her
wrapper.
She looked at me, and Leeby looked
at me.
ITS no! It's MOI" cried Leeby, and
face. She blamed me for hesitating in
my reply.
Jess had discovered a white spot on
her throat. knew the symptoms
Leeby ran off for the doctor, and af.
ter time returned painting to say that
he might be expected in an hour He
was away among the hills.
Hendry wandered between the two
rooms, always in the way when Leeby
ran to the window to SEQ II that was
the doctor ut last. Finally he sat down
by the kitchen fire, Bible in his hand.
II lay open on his knee, but he did not
read much. He sat there with his
legs outstretched, looking straight be-
fore him. / believe he saw jess young
again.
| sat alone at my attic window for
hours waiting for the doctor. About
midnight llendry climbed the stairs and
Joined me. His hand was shaking as he
pulled back the blind.
"She's waur," he whispered, like one
who had lost his voice.
His eyes were glazed with staring at
the turn of the brae where the doctor
must first come In sight. | put my
hand on his shoulder, and he stared at
me.
"Nine-and-thirty years come June, a"
he said, speaking to himself.

jess had been married, He repeated
the words at intervals

He was thinking Of the springtime OF
Jess's life.
Tho night ended as we watched; then
came the terrible moment that precedes
the day-the moment known TO shud-
dering watchers by sick beds, when a
chill wind cuts through the house, and
the world seems cold IN death.
This is fearsome night" Hendry
said, hoarsely.
He turned to grope his way TO the
stairs, but suddenly went down on his
knees 10 pray,
There was a quick step outside, I
arose in time to see the doctor on the
brae. He tried the latch, but Lseby

3-On,y Three Pieces Of a Kind to a custoner-3
The Portland daily press., 1892-12-22

The most elementary form of the
strangers letter is Of course the applica-
ton for an autograph. This application
is now reduced to such a system that it
causes little inconvenience and should
not be refused. There is usually sent
with the request a blank card ON which
the name is to be written, with an en-
veiope stamped and addressed for its re-
turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive
OF mechanical, though the line Of pro-
priety is at once passed, we may say,
where two cards are sent, the second
one being obviously for exchange pur-
poses or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, suspect,
writes on both cards. since he does not
aim to help out mere business trans
action. Where any applicant goes far
Their and asks an original letter or copied
passage; the affair becomes more serious,
and some authors and public men ignore
such requests altogether, as being much
more serious consumers of time.-T. W.

Aunt scinda's Four Hundred.

''An old negro woman has established
new theocracy at Grenada, Miss" said
j. H. B. Miller, of Coffeyville. "Her
name is Scinda, and her followers are
called 'Scinda Band They number
about 400. Scinda is their queen, and
rules her flock with all iron rod. They
use no Bibles at their meetings, for each
member is supposed to know it by heart.
If Scinda asks them Biblical question
they are supposed to have an answer at
once. They have their meetings every
Sunday evening and they are interest
ing to observe. The congregation-men
and women-are decked out in costly
ribbons and beads. Their chants are as
weird as the sobs and signs of graveyard
trees. They dance to the music of the
banjo and tambourine until they are
nearly exhausted, and then they go
home" st. Louis Republic.

The rag doll, dearer to the heart of
childhood than any other sort of doll, is
quite the fashionable doll par excellence
at the present moment. Unlike the one
our grandmothers made for their little
ones, the one cherished by the little
folks of today is of flesh colored silk jer-
sey cloth or of cotton balbriggan of the
same color. Its body is filed with cot
ton, and its hair is in many rings of yell
low single zephyr stitched on in loops.
The face is painted, and when it is nee
essary to clean it this face can be re-
painted after the rest has been washed,
as it can be without injury.-Detroit
