elements ] grew desperate and lighted his gift After the first puff I really hoped that should be stricken by light. ming.
 The shower had cleared away as we drew up before a low rooted, red painted cottage surrounded by trees. A very pretty girl opened the door to the doc tor, while continued my occupation of holding marc that would not have run away under the impulsion of dynamite bomb. My friend returned after the ex- piration of an exceedingly short time.
 Nobody sick in there," he remarked. "an old woman nervous, that's all.
 "iow old2'' l asked anxiously.
 'One hundred and six. She's be- ginning to grow somewhat supersensi- tive"
 On our return to the office we found several patients waiting for the dis penser of potions, pills and powders My doctor spent an hour or more reliev- ing the aches and pains that had sought him out Then We had supper. Before the meal was over the telephone rang again. The man of science serenely abandoned his cold ham and iced tea and could hear him say:
 "Yes; give the baby two drops at H."
 Hello! No, don't wake her up during the night. If she's restless at sunrise rub her with oil. That's all. Goodby."
 Before he could resume his supper n patient rang the office bell My doctor was engaged for hour. When he re- joined me on the piazza the mare was at the door.
 "More calls?' I asked.
 "Yes, of course: 1 always spend the evening on the road"
 We are gone until II o'clock. The roads we traversed, the darkness of the woods, the dreary barking of watch dogs are to me like an unpleasant dream. We returned to the office tired and worn. The doctor looked pale, and l supposed of course that he would go at once to bed. What was my astonishment to see him place upon his desk a number of account books.
 "ls not your days work done?" asked. ,
 He smiled hopelessly. Just begun, my boy. If didn't work now the re- suit of the last twenty-four hours would amount to nothing in dollars and cents.
 Then he spent half an hour in making notes for his days labor. watched him with an emotion that was almost rev erential. Here, if anywhere, was a man. Subduiug all inclinations toward friv- olity or even healthy recreation, he goes on his way day after day, applying as sdllfully as he can the scientific knowl- edge in his grasp
 For him there is no night, no Sunday, no vacation; always fighting death he gives up his life to the conflict. And what does he find? Testy patients, ig- norant people who neglect his commands. ungrateful fools who seem to think that he is n slave to their demands, men and women who look for miracles and do not know that even doctor cannot always stay the hand of Terror's King.
 And now for bedr' exclaimed, as he laid aside his books.
 Not yet. l must have my case re- filed"
 Out into the night again. Near at hand light gleams in the window of drug store A sleepy clerk answered our knock, and in few minutes my doctor was busy with the bottles on the shelf. He was at work fully half an hour. In his case he carried fifty phials. Many of the drugs had been exhausted in the days routine, and the act of re- plenishing took time. 1 yawned and fretted, but the doctor seemed to feel no fatigue. "He is made of iron," l said to myself as he strode homeward with firm and even tread.
 I had almost fallen to sleep later on when l heard some one descending the stairs. It was 12 o'clock
 "Where are you going?' asked, as recognized the doctors portly form.
 Unto the office for an hour" he re- marked. "This is the only time in which [ have a chance to do my scientific read ing"
 1 went back to bed, but l could not sleep. was wondering how much my friend made q year. At breakfast the next morning said:
 "Doctor, don't want to be imperti- nent, but will you kindly tell me how much your practice pays you?"
 He smiled quizzically as he answered.:
 'I earn 5000 year. collect about $900. "-Hartford Times.
