The millionaire consumptive was aaicately

He gave his chest sounding blow which would
have fesled a Hiddesex bull. DO You hear
that And it is Ell your doings.''
What said the doctor, bounding TO his
feet. Are you that man.
Indeed L am howied the giant; "alive and
well"

let himself fall on a safs: the springs groaned
and cracked under his weight
'Ah. Ii is so good to live," he said. with q
blissful sigh of satisfaction.
The dpctor spoke n few words in n low tone
to his stenographer and lsckey; they left the
ROOM
When alone with his resuscitated patient
DIR. Hallidouhill measured him from head to
foot with a cool professional eye. After a few
minutes silence he said. in q strange. lev tone:
Permit me to brush that hy from your
brow"
Then drawing revolver he rushed upon him
and discharged it twice in the temple artery.
The giant fell to the floor. beating the air a
few seconds with his hands, while his brains be-
spattered the carpet.
In ten strokes of the SCISSORS the clothes and
linen were cut away leaving the breast exposed,
which the grave operator. with one cut OF his
surgical bistoury, immediately laid open from
top 10 bottom.
Twenty minutes after. when the constable
entered the consulting room to arrest DR. Hal
lidouhill. he found him calmly seated in front
OF his table, strong magnifying glass in his
hand, carefully examining enormous pair
of lungs spread out fat upon its bloody sur
face.
The spirit OF science in this man was trying
TO discover the miraculous effect of crosses,
both lubrifying and recreative.
''Mr. Constable. am ready TO 60 with you."
said the doctor. rising up. II judged il right
TO immediate this man for the benefit of the
human race. An immediate autopsy could alone
reveal the sanitary secret of his cure. There
fore l did not hesitate 10 sacrifice my con-
science 10 my duty"
Useless TO add the liustrious doctor was re-
leased upon purely nominal bond His liberty
was more useful than his detention. This
strange case will now go before the English
court.
What wonderful pleadings Europe is going to
read,
All hope that this sublime heroism will not
take the doctor 20 Newgste or the sesffold.
The English people. like ourselves. believe that
the love of future humanity. regardless of the
present individual, is the only motive which
governs these extreme scientists.
