selected some diamonds at a well,known

She said she was the wife of physician
a man noted for his skillful treatment of
Insanity and kindred maladies. The firm
was tolerably well acquainted with this
physician, and when the lady gave notice
clerk was sent up with the three parcels.
"Have each parcel settled for first before
YOU hand out the next" the clerk was in
structed, and it was well that this warn
ing was given. When the young man
reached the house the lady greeted him
kindly, and, without asking to look at the
diamonds herself, went into the next room
for her husband. The clerk recognized the
doctor at once, having often seen him in
the store.
.How do you feel?" asked the DOCTOR
"Oh, pretty well I've brought up the
diamonds" said the. young man, and he
handed out the smallest package for the
doctors inspection
Instead of opening it the doctor placed it
on the table and invited the young man 10
come into the next room. The wife had
not again appeared, and, thinking the doc
tor was about to make out the check, the
clerk followed him into an adjoining apart
ment. Instead Of proceeding to business
the doctor asked the young man again
how he was, saying that he didn't look
I'm much obliged, doctor, for your in
terest," said the clerk, but I'm in a great
hurry to get back to the store, and wish
you would make out the check and see if
these other diamonds suit you.
Take your time, take things easy" said
the doctor. "I'll fix that all right present.
ly Don you ever have any pains in
Your head about here?" and the physi-
clan began to feel the young mans tenn
pies and seemed to have forgotten alto
gether about the errand that brought him
there
Il never felt better is my life, DOCTOR"
declared the clerk, land you really ought
not to fool away my time this way. I've
got to get back to the store. Are you 60
ing to take the diamonds or not?'
"Never mind about the diamonds" said
the doctor, soothingly; they'll be all
right. DO you have any pain or dullness
in the back of your head?'
NO" said the young man impatiently
thinking that the doctor must be a little
unbalanced in his mind. Il never have
any pain anywhere. Are you going to buy
the diamonds or not? I can't stay here
any longer" and he rose to leave the
room.
"TeH me- said the physician. what
store you are talking about? Have you
any credentials to prove whom you are
working for2s
The young man, completely bewildered.
took letters out Of his pockets to prove his
identity, and then remembered the pack
age of jewelry on the table in the other
room
''The diamonds your wife orderedr' he
gasped.
My wife"' exclaimed the physician in
amazement. Il am not married man.
Where is your mother?" the doctor con
tinued, as they turned to the parlor

the clerk. DO you know my motheT9'-
