Occasionally Ripley met her as he
drove upon his rounds. She had started
high dogcart, taking tho reins herself,
with n little tiger behind When they
met, he invariably raised his hat with
punctilious politeness, but the grim Sc
verify of his face showed how formal
was the courtesy. III fact his dislike
was rapidly deepening into absolute det-
estation. 1.-THE unsexed woman" was
the description of her which he permit
ted himself to give to those of his pa
tients who still remained stanch. But
indeed they were rapidly decreasing
body, and every day his pride was CALLED
by the news of some fresh detection.
The lady had somehow impressed tho
country folk with an almost supersti-
tious belief in her power, and from far
and near they flocked to her consulting
room.
But what CALLED him most of all was
when she did something which he had
pronounced to be impracticable. For
| all his knowledge he lacked nerve as an
operator and usually sent his worst
cases up to London. The lady, how
ever, had no weakness of the sort and
| took everything that came in her way.
| 1t was agony to him to hear that she
was about to straighten little Alec Tur
ner's club foot, and right at the fringe
/ of the rumor came IA note from bis moth
er, the rector's wife, asking him if he
would be so good as to act as chlorO-
| formist. 1t would be inhumanity to re-
| fuse, rs there was no other who could
take the place, but it was gall and
NORWOOD to his sensitive nature Yet
in spite of his vexation he could not but
admire the dexterity with which the
thing was done. She handled the little
waxlike foot so gently and held the tiny
| tenotomy knife as an artist holds his
pencil. One straight incision, one sniCk
of tendon, and it was all over with
out q stain on the white towel which
lay beneath. He had never seen any
thing more mastery, and he had the
honesty to say so, though her skill in
creased his dislike of her. The operation
spread her fame still farther at his eX-
pense, and self preservation was added
to his other grounds for detesting her.
And this very detestation it was which
brought matters to curious climax.
One winters night, just as he was ris'
ing from his lonely dinner, groom
came riding down from Squire Faircas-
ties, the richest man in the district, TO
say that his daughter had sCalded her
hand, and that medical help was needed
on the instant The coachman had rid

nothing to the squire who came, AS long

from his surgery with the determine
ton that she should not effect an en-
trance into this stronghold of his if hard
driving on his part could prevent it.
He did not even wait to light his lamps,
but sprang into his gig and flew of as
fast as hoof could rattle. He lived rather
nearer to the squire's than she did and
was convinced that he could get there
well before her
And so he would but for that whim-
steal element of chance which will for

it came from the want of his lights or
from his mind being full of the thoughts
of his rival, he allowed too little by
half foot in taking the sharp turn up
Oh the Basingstoke road. The empty
trap and the frightened horse clattered
away into the darkness, while the
squire's groom crawled ont of the ditch
into which he had been shot He struck
a match, looked down at his groaning
companion, and then, after the fashion

what they have not seen before, he was
very sick.

caught glimpse of something white
and sharp bristling through his trouser

stole over his tangled nerves. Down he
sank, through clear, cool water, ever
down and down into the green shadows

State Bureau of A gricultur

State Bureau of Agriculture, I
Baton Rouge, La, Dec. Z, '94. !
We desire to call your attention
to the ninth annual meeting of the
Louisiana State agricultural Society
which will take place at NatchitO
ches OH January %, "a and %,
1895.
A large and representative body
of planters and farmers of this
State is desired at this meeting.
To accomplish this every agricul-
tural organization, including plan
ters' associations, farmers clubs,
oranges and unions are earnestly
requested to send delegates.
The committee OH programme
has appealed to the police juries OF
the various parishes to send two
or more planters or farmers as del
egates from each parish. Favor
able action of each police jury is
not only most earnestly desired,
but will meet with the honest ap-
proval of every friend of agricul-
ture.
The present financial condition
of our agriculturists calls for seri-
Gus thought and deliberation.
Low prices of our staple products,
unreliable labor, soil depletion and
high money rates have deprived
our profession of much of its prof.
is and all ofits pleasures. Chan
ces in our methods and perhaps
in our crops are imperative, and
what these shall be can be best
determined by the combined Wis.
dom of assembled conventions ol
our leading men. 1t IS therefore
earnestly desired that farmers and
planters from all parts OF the State
be present at this meeting and
participate in its deliberations.
The old city of Natchitoches vii
extend its usual hospitality, and
the farmers of Cane river will wei
come their brothers from other pOr
tions OF the State.
