| first scene it was determined to keep
| the matter quiet. The girl was quietly
sent away, and girl babe was born.
Ina few weeks it was taken fro m the
mother and given into the family of
! most respectable people, who agreed to
take ana raise it. The child grew up
| into a handsome and accomplished
woman in entire ignorance Of her true
| birth. Her foster parents were eau
| toned never to tell her the secret, and
| they never did. Through means sup
piled by her real father she was given
splendid education, and eventually
married prosperous young lawyer of
Kansas City. During all these years
the girls true mother earned 4 liveii-
hood by menia labor.
Having told this story. which from
her evident life of suffering had be-.
come domestic tragedy, she tearfully
asked the physician what ought 10 be
done. She did not want to die without
seeing her child and having the truth
known. We ali had but one thought.
1t was nothing more than right that the
mother should have the privilege Of
seeing her own child. Physicians have
hard way of looking at these things.
and the fact of the daughters social po-
sitlon had little weight with us. We
Immediately wrote TO the daughters
husband giving him all inkiing of the
situation and requested his and his Wife'S
Immediate presence in Cincinnati. The
day came when mother aud daughter
were to meet for the first time i'm
twenty-three years. The daughter was
brought TO her mothers bedside. The
physicians were gathered around, and
at the request of the mother, who even
then did not dare TO look at her daugh-
ter. DR.. Evans briefly told the story. As
he went on look of horror came into
the young woman'S eyes. Her hands
trembled with agonzed excitement, and
when the doctor touched upon her ille-
gitimate birth she gave choking cry of
rage and tried to spring upon him as if
she would kill him.
''The husband, though apparently
also half daZed. restrained her, and she
sank half fainting into his arms. When
the doctor concluded and asked the
young woman if she desired to say any
thing to her mother in private she
raised herself up. With flashing eyes
She pointed her hand at the tremulous
old form lying on the couch and almost
shriekingiy cried:
"'What. that woman my motherl
Never! Never! Never! She is an i'm

The mother died the next night. She
never uttered sound after the awful
words of her daughter, and with staring
eyes sank slowly away"
Dr. E. II. Lindell. an eye specialist of
Norwich, Conn, tells good story of "a
prophet being without honor in his
own country.
"Old DIR. Williams. now dead. of Gin
cinnati," said the doctor, was one of
the greatest specialists on eye and ear
diseases this country ever produced.
His fame had spread far and wide, and
none ranked higher than he in medical
circles. But there are always people
who reject the very thing they are look
ing for when it is not hard TO find, and
this was the case of wealthy
Cincinnati widow who was suddenly
stricken with blindness. She consulted
physicians i'll Cincinnati. who advised
her to visit famous specialist IN New
York. She went there, and he told her
that he could give her no relief. The
specialist said there was only one man

and the man was famous Berlin
physician. She crossed the ocean, but
the Berlin physician refused to operate.
He referred her to another specialist in
Paris. She went to Paris, but the French
physician also declined to take her case.
In abject despair she asked him if there
was any one in the world who could
help her. He referred her to DR.. Will

and went to the doctors office, which
was only few blocks from her own
house. The doctor took her under his
care and ultimately greatly benefited
her. So here was women who had to
