THE DOCTORS STORY.

A stretch of dusty, badly kept road
ran westward from the village of t
in a straight line to a landing place
on the Ohio river, near which was the
country mansion of Mr. Sanford
Gwynne; a very old house, built for
some ancient magnate of Cincinnati,
and named by him Fair Rivers" The
grounds were of vast extent, embrace
ing about every variety of landscape,
but not particularly we'll cared for, as
is generally the case with estates whose
owners are not often present to direct
the work upon them. The distance
from the mansion to the village was
about one mile, and l had a full view
of the road from the front window of
my office, where for many a weary day
I sat waiting for customers, which We're

cipal employment was whiting a shin

cal works when people were around. 1
was young, recently established in the
village, had a reputation to make, and
tried TO make it by the appearance of
being very busy. My income was linn
ited-very much SO. In fact, 1 brushed
my own boots, swept the floor of my
office, and l think I should, in a sly
manner, have curried my own horse,

this you may infer that 1 was very

not always a sufficiency of food to carry

without coed looks, as men go; l kept

dust, and to give myself a professional
odor I occasionally dropped a little
paregoric or some other tincture upon
my coat sleeve.

window, gazing down the road, and
as usual, wishing for customers, when
suddenly noticed a cloud of dust aris-
ing and rolling along the way, out Of
which. as it drew near emerged a
horse. farm wagon and woman driver.
The woman was evidently in a greater
haste to get along than the horse, for
she piled the whip vigorously, while

hitching the mare, and followed Mrs.
GWynne, who pointed to the stairs,
saying, GO up, please"
Ascending rapidly. l saw door
partly open and heard low means issu-
ing from the room. Inside 1 beheld
Miss Gwynne extended upon a bed
UneaSily moving her head from side
to side and moaning. Her right arm
was hanging over the edge of the bed,
and the hand was in the grasp of a
large rat trap. Taking the whole
affair at a glance l seized the trap,
pressed down the spring and thus re-
lieved the hand just as Mrs Gwynne,
who was heavy woman and slow
walker, entered the room: 1 poured out
a small potion from one of my phia1s,
applied it to the lips Of the sufferer,
and was delighted to see that she
swallowed it all.
rs it anything serious, doctor?"
asked the mother.
II think not, madam. Your daughter
has been frightened, also badly In
jured by that Internal engine, which
I will place on the table. l have ad-
ministered a few drops that will soothe
her presently. Meanwhile let me ex-
anime her hand, which, 1 notice, Is
swelling, and would you please re-
move those rings from her fingers,
of cold water and a cup?"
With considerable difficulty Mrs.
Gwynne slipped off the rings. Sally
Daw came in with the water, which
was placed near by, and turned to go
out.
Stay" I said, II shall need your
help" and I proceeded to pour upon the
wounded hand, water, which ran down
into the pail.
Doctor said Mrs. Gwynne, why do
you not apply a lotion and thus stop
the swelling?'
II am applying Natures lotion
madam" I replied, continuing to pour
In the case of a wound of this kind,
cold water is the best application for
preventing or reducing inflammation"
In a few moments the sufferer was
resting quietly. Once, when she turn
ed her face towards the table, she
saw the rat trap and exclaimed, ex-
citedly:
"Oh, take it away-take it away from
the house! Never let me see it again.

constantly urged the animal.
