Nurse. can't you see him? You car
see his white charger then. Look.
look there-just there by Daley's
bed. What. You can't? Oh"
Struggling his shoulders with 3
hopeless moan. Then with q sudden
movement. catching her hand and
sitting up in his bed, he cries: why.
look. There he stands paving the mos
quito net. He'll tear it into a thou
sand rags. nurse. and knock poor Da-
ley's brains out. l say. make haste.
He's climbing up the blank wall now
the brute's afraid-at last. Hi. don't
you see him? Let me CO. as the nurse
forces him firmly back upon his pill
lows.
''Oh. nurse" signing reproachfully.
while his eyes avoid her and remain
fixed while he speaks with great ra-
pidity, and the words flow as in resi-
tation: Look. He stands still now.
his neck stretched out. the pink of his
nostrils showing and distended by
fear his eyes shine and glow like Goals
in the fierce sunlight, the swelling
veins tell how quick his hot blood
throbs: look at his ears listening. list
ening for the voice that will never
sound again. at his quivering lip that
shall never know again the touch Of
that riders hand. for it lies there upon
the grass so cold and still. Get the
horse off that curtain-he's mad,
say"
The doctor came into the ward as
Heath made another effort to spring
out of bed. and catching sight of him
he burst ont with wild laugh: ''Ha.
ha. Ha. ha. That you. doctor? I shot
Maloney-shot him dead-couldn't help
pistol went off-accident" speaking
in a fiippant way. ''Oh no-no. no.!
with a weary moan. and returning
again to simply mechanical words:
Il see Maloney falling from his horse
like a leaden weight upon the ground.
and following on my charger SO close
almost trample him under foot, before
I can swerve from of the track. see
him lying on the grass, while the red
blood from the wound stains his white
uniform. With a wider margin as it
fiows I hear the sound of its quick reg
ular dropping upon the ground where
it collects there dark and still. and
above hear Maloney cursing me-" He
paused for a few seconds and went on
argumentatively. while the doctor had
turned away to take his hypodermic
syringe out of its case.
IAN right ten minutes ago-hard as
nails-and sitting his horse like rock
And now-dying-and by my hand!"
He took his right hand in his left. and
looked at it for a few minutes in ST
lence.
What say. doctor?" letting it fall
again. Accident? No-no-no-no.'
he shouted. ''Ah!-What are you do
ing-to my arm?" as the needle of the
syringe pricked through the skin.
Little morphia-keep him quiet
eh:" repeating the doctors words as
he spoke to the nurse.
Disturb other patients. eh? Sleep?
Oh-yes-doctor-I'm all right" and
closing his eyes presently he muttered
vacuously for q few moments, and
sighed heavily-soon the words came
at longer intervals. and were less dis
tinct: then. as the weary eyelids closed.
he said drOwsily-'Nurse. are-you-
there" And his hand clasped hers
convnlSively.
"Nurse. will you-will-you stop
here?" with pitiful little smile. half
opening his eyes to look at her, and
presently he fell asleep.

The Doll Of Co.ored Children.

Did any one ever see little colorcd
girls playing with any other sort Of
dolls than white ones? Perhaps such
little girls sometimes have black dolls,
but the writer often sees them at their
doll play in street which is almost
exclusively inhabited by colored peo-
pie. and has never seen them with any
bNt white dolls. Generally the dolls
are quite blonde. 1t is not for wan. OF
black dolls in the stores: they are
numerous enough. and are much
favored by white girls. The reason for
it is. of course. very pathetic story
the long story Of a race enslaved and
despised until it has to a great extent
lost its pride in itself and come to court
another by habit which is a second
nature. The mulattoes and quadroons
are given a certain precedence and
honor by the blacks. and the little mu.
latto girls will have none but white
dolls. and blondes at that-Bostou

PLEA FOR THE DUDE.

smokes Cigarettes.
The dude is the favOrite butt Of
cheap wits. There are worse fellows
than the dude, however. sum up his
good qualities and deduct his weak
nesses. and You will find quite good
remainder to his credit. In the first
place he is scrupulously clean-a vir-
tue ranked next to godliness in the
quotations of virtues stock exchange.
He does no harm to anyone. He is
not rude or loud or coarse or profane.
And he has politeness OF his own
brand trifie peculiar, perhaps, but
it is genuine politeness al the same.
His style of dress is tride eccentric
but not more marked in its contrast to
the ordinary dress of common mortals
than is the sarctimonious black of
those who make a profession of piety.
His clothes. however. whatever may
be the eccentricity Of their fashion.
are clean brushed and neat. virgin Of
soil or stain. which cannot always be
said Of the solemn black.
And the dude is honest. He is not
all the time Matching plans of fair
seeming fraud to cheat his fellow man,
or getting up schemes to possess him
self of the loose change or the strained
economies of widows and orphans and
unprotected females. He abhors filth
Of any kind. He is too dainty to relish
dirt, either abstract or concrete. So
you shall rarely find the dude doing a
base or dishonorable action. He does
not betray his friend or turn and rend
his benefactors. He leaves such treach-
cry to wearers of professional black
and garments of formal cut.-Montana

Knew Where He Got His Support.
A Memphis man vouches for the
truth of the following election story:
"A number Of years ago l was living in
a certain Mississippi town. The mayor
Of the place and myself were boarders
in the same house. The mayor was a
man who loved his own way, and when
election day rolled around = great
many people thought that now was
good time to teach his honor that he
was not the only man in town. Our
landlord. of course, wanted to be
pleasant to his boarder, and was pro-
fuse in expressions OF fealty to his
cause. 1t turned out that the mayor
received only one vote for reelection.
He came home. where the news of his de-
feat had preceded him. naturally some
what disgruntled and out of sorts. The
landlord at once began to offer conso-
lation of the sort that is common on
such occasions, telling the mayor that
he would live to come again. and 1t
some election in the future would put
his enemies to rout and be triumph
antly elected. Il did all I could for
rou.' concluded the landlord; Il voted
for you myself You are IN internal
liar. roared the irate mayor: 4 got
only one vote and voted for myself

WHAT THE DOCTOR IS.


The Power and Usefulness Of the Medical
Profession.
Let anv one. when his life is in the
balance, try to realize what he would
like his doctor to be and to know 1t
does not need vivid imagination in
any man to conceive how much may
depend on his doctors knowledge. on
his skill. and on his experience. 1t is
trite question. What is life without
hcalth?" Few persons but have had its
truth vividly before their minds when
In pain or weakness. Ones doctor
may make all the difference whether
life is worth living or not. He is well
come when no one else is admitted.
Not only his knowledge and skill and
practical resource. but his tone OF
mind. his honor. his courage. his
sympathy. and his innate power of in
spring confidence. may make vast
difference to any of us. difference
it may he .etween sanity and insanity,
between penury and competence. or
even between life and death.
Few realize how much they are de-
pendent on the sense of duty and the
honor of the doctor apart from his pro-
fessional skill. What do they know
about the effects of the powerful drugs
he gives? How can they detect or
counteract his mistakes? Their bodies
and their lives are in his hands far
more absolutely than are the lives and
fortunes Of his subjects in the power
of any eastern despot. From the pub
lie point of view the profession Of med
icine is filing year by year a larger
space. The community is looking to it
for more light and leading about sani-
tation. about education. about the
choice of occupations and professions
for young people. about how to keep
well and happy. Practical questions
connected with heredity loom in the
near future.
Well might Mr.. Gladstone say that
of all the professions it is the one
which is in the ascendant at present.
Mr.. Disraeli did not without cause
construct his cpigram. ''Sanitas san
itatum omnia sanitas.- as being the
question of questions at present. Lord
Salisbury has lately added his en-
phatic concurrence as to the power
and usefulness of the medical profess
sion in modern life.-Scottish Review.
