lished that reputation throughout
the hospital.
Her appointment at the hospital
had come through the influence OF
the chief surgeon. She had been
pleasantly associated with him in her
studies; but her Platonic friend now
became her devoted lover. Her eX-
plantations did not satisfy him. and
her desire that her work should not
suffer and that their association
should not cease wrung her secret
from her reluctant lips.
One icy Afternoon in February she
was summoned 10 Or. Gays Office.
II am called TO a consultation in
Robey," he said, pointing TO dis
patch. 1T is impossible for me TO
GO l can't leave No. q; and there
are two critical cases in the city.
viii you go?"
"Yes. if you will trust me-"
"As / would myself" was the doc
tors reply.
Soon the train for Robey was
bounding westward, with Elsie
aboard. Somehow her thoughts went
back to the happy days following her
marriage. A thousand images OF her
husband came to her mind. With
all his faults he had meant TO be kind;
in other circumstances, all would
have been different; and although
she was in the first flush OF success
she would have given up all for him
even now.
AT last the Robey stat on was
called. AS she aligbted she was met
by boy carrying smoky lantern
and man muffied in fur. AS Elsie
stepped forward, the man stared at
her curiously.
'Dr. Gay couldn't come" she said.
"That's the word we got, said the
man beh nd the fur collar "Said
he'd send one jest as good We
hadn't counted OH it's bein' a woman,
though. The gals alwers ben puny, u
he continued.
Then they left the station and
presently they came TO house where
lights were burning in the lower
rooms Elsie was shown into a small
sitting-room. The kitchen door stood
ajar, and through it a short, thin
woman soon entered.
'Pm Mrs. Plympton, she said.

sick-room and watched her patient
who was a young girl, perhaps Is. On
the table by the bedside were bottles
and vials. She glanced at the labels
and shook her head in indignation.
Its pneumonia, she said. ''The
girl has been treated wrong alto
gether wrong. 1t is atrocious bung-
ling"
The room was still vibrating with
her words when the attending physi-
clan entered.
"Dr. Hobart" sobbed the mother
but she could not go on.
There was a moment Of bewilder-
ing confusion. The family had with
drawn, and Elsie, stunned and almost
powerless, stood gazing at her hus-
band. This man Of many schemes
had grouped his way into high pro-
feSsiOn he had hOated into a hap
hazard connection with some medl-
cal charlatan, and the few scraps OF
knowledge which clung TO him be-
came in his unskillful bands so many
deadly instruments His vanity so
blinded him To his ignorance, that
here he was experimenting on the
girl whom, as bad just been CURED
into Elsie's startled ears, he claimed
TO love and even planned To marry.
No familiar word passed between the
two. Elsie spoke only, in burning,
trembling words, OF the wicked mis-
take Her thoughts were chiefly at
this moment Of the suffering girl.
Il shall relinquish it TO you, was
all he said. and then he lett the room
and the house. Upon Elsie rested
the burden Of this young girls life.
She worked unweariedly, while her
heart beat wildly, TO wrest her pa
tient from the influence OF the
drugs; and just as little clock
buzzed ~, the SEX girl woke TO con-
sciousness
After the dimne& OF the sick-room,
the light in the kitchen seemed daz-

The woman looked at her inquir-

The Robey depot was kept warmed
and lighted for the convenience OF

the hacked benches, while feyerIsh
thoughts crowded through her brain.

The ticket agent, aware of Elsie's

Six years before, when Putnam Ho-
bart led his wife out OF the little rus
tic church at Forsyth, the May sun
shone encolragingly into his face
Smooth roads seemed to stretch out
in every direction. Things went
well for year. Then the financial
crashes came and he began to go
down. He speculated with Elsie's
money and lost it. Then he became
a clerk, with meager wages, and all
this time their home life, with little
money to support it was becoming
unhappy. Finally on the lst of June,
he was thrown out Of employment
entirely and since then he mad hung
lazily about. seemingly without am
bitiOp and with no aim to do any
thing. 1t was now July and on this
day, the 5th, he was to accept posi-
tion out of town for which he had ap-
piled in answer to an advertisement
and it was to enable him to catch an
early train that Elsie was preparing
breakfast at this early hour, while
the other villagers were still sleeping.
AS she went about her work,
thoughts OF the past filled her mind
and made her angry, while looking
into the future she saw little hope.
He'll be back again, soon," she
said to herself 'The work won't
suit him; l know it"
That morning he went to take the
place. Two days later he came back.
The work was not to his taste-that
was all he said Two days after that,

itors came. But they found little

enough to attach. In the garden
rank wormwood and thistles look
down on puny corn: there was a
wood pile in which wrecks Of furni-
ture and the refuse of recent car
pentry lay in a tangled heap; and in
the house the prospect was not much
better, Elsie's poor sewing machine
being everything that the creditors
thought worth taking.
El lie went back TO her r'father's
with the children. Her hus band
travelled westward TO one Of the river
states. He would come back in a
little while he said; he would begin
life over again and be her lover once
more. More than year after his
words were still ringing in her ears,
but he had never come back. The
strongest links which bound them
had snapped Gsunder: the children
all lay buried in the graveyard on
the hillside. The physician who
tried to save them was eloquent and
ignorant. In the early stages of the
disease he prophesied their 81 eedy re-
coyery; in a few days IL was an easy
matter 20 predict their death. When
the last child lay dead before her,
the wish TO know what the nature
of medicines was and what knOwl-
edge could do TO save life, became a
settled purpose with Elsie. She
would be physic an:-and she would
be a faithful and thorough phys clan.
Elsie entered a medical college in a
prarie city. In four years she became
a physician in the City Hospital She
found time TO do many things for
which she was not paid. With steady
nerves and cheerful presence, she
ministered to the sick and u the
dying: IL she could not save souls In

se'ection OF Seed Potatoes.

There is nothing that affects the
yield per acre OF potatoes so much as
the seed. More depends on the Sc
American cul,ivator than that Of
any other crop Good seed does not
mean simply large, Bne-looGing Do-
tatoes with plenty OF eyes on. 1t
does not mean simply a salable va
riety Potatoes have tendency to
run out, as do other plants If the
same variety that now is unsur-
passed is planted season after season

than usual care is taken. The only
way TO renew vigor when lost Is 10
grow The potatoes from the seed
again.
New varieties OF potatoes are con
stantly being grown from good seed
and as a rule these new kinds have
more vitality and prolifiCness than
the old ones. Nearly all OF the large
crops OF potatoes raised to.day come
from the new varitles shat have only
recently been grown from potato
seed, and their vigOr intact They
also will in the course OF time pro-
duce less TO the acre, smaller pota-
toes and have less power - resist dis
ease. In time OF universal destruc.
tion OF potatoes from rot and other
diseases. those grown from old, in.
ferior seed potatoes are the ones
that suffer most. Start right by
buying good seed potatoes OF the best
new variety. Then raise good seed
every year; but in the course OF few
years discard the old rotatces and
buy fresh stock OF seed. In this
way the yield will always be kept up
TO a high standard.
