The Predicament of q Lady Doctor Who
Was PhiIanthropically Inclined.
The other evening Mrs. DR.. Myra Knox
heard violent ring at her door bell.
She answered it in person. Through
the dim light, and directly under the
swinging sign which informs the null
titude that CDR. Knox" may be found
within, stood one of the hungry unem-
ployed. The doctor has large heart
which responds quickly to all forms of
human distress, and she became inter
ested at once.
''My good man." she asked, what can
/ do for you"
Please, ma am, came the meek an
swer, "would you be SO kind as to give
me pair of the Doctors old pants? I'm
nearly naked, as you can see"
Mrs. Knox did not laugh. She never
laughs at human misery, no matter
how its laughable features may be
presented to her. But she said, sol
emily:
My poor man, I would willingly
comply with your request, but know
the doctors pants would not fit you.
Apply to DR.. Bucket, next door"
How DR.. Bucket disposed Of the needy
fellow has not been divulged. In fact,
the story stops right here. DR.. Buckora
first name is Annette San Francisco

peared to be in too happy state Of
mind to warrant that sob. On seeing
the children Drusilla held out her hand
to Myrtle, who happened to be fore
most, saying, with smile in which
there was mingling Of various emo
tons:
"These are poor Heber's children,
Hugh. They are all that is left of my
old home
'This little lady's likeness to you was
the means of my finding you, Drusilla,
after my long search. l only intend
ed remaining here week, SO that my
chances were small of meeting with
YOU"
A few words will suffice to explain
Hugh's silence and long absence. He
had written to Drusilla, asking her to
be his wife, soon after wishing her
good-by, but unfortunately the letter
was lost. He was injured in the head
during one of the first engagements.
On his apparent recovery from the
wound it was discovered that his mem.
Dry was blank, and without being
exactly insane, he came very near it.
For several years he continued in this
condition. Finally, however, he recov-
cred under skillful treatment, and then
set on quest for his loved ones No
one in his native village knew Drusil-
las latest move, and the search seemed
hopeless.
BY the will of his father, who had
died recently, he had come into consid-
cradle property, and, as he told Drusil-
la, there would be no further need for
her to be breadwinner.
81 am afraid, Hugh" she answered,
with loving smile, ''that with so much
happiness in prospect shall be tempted
to forget my daily prayer for faith and
courage!"-Mrs. w. L. Sanders, in Chi
cago Standard.

| to a distant town to live with her
brother who had married and settled
down. AS the patient aunt of his little
girls, and the mainstay of the church
to which she belonged. she did not lead
an unhappy life, although an abiding
sorrow was her portion. The mystery
attending Hugh's fate remained un-
solved Other troubles, however, fol-
lowed. Her brother and his wife were
both taken, and she was left sole
| guardian to the little girls, Myrtle and
Myra.
Hearing of another town in which
she could get suitable employment so
as to exc out The small income at her
disposal, she took the children with
her and settled down as dressmaker.
Faith and courage oh, how she
needed them now; alone with two little
ones depending on her.
Day by day, with a steady purpose Of
doing faithfully the work coming to
| victory over encouragement and oc-
casional seeming defeat. These decora-
ton days We're seasons requiring more
faith and courage that at times she felt
she possessed.
If. like the soldiers widows, she
