was placed directly over the spot where ,
the ball was supposed TO be. The tube was
lowered to about six inches of his body
and the current turned on. He was kept
here for thirty minutes, when the zach
was stopped and he was taken up and
while the doctor went to have
the negative developed. He was gone
twenty minutes, when he returned and
shook his head, mo ball found."
There was disappointment all around
the circle. but we will try again. said
DIR. Scott. The same process was gone
through, only this time the search was
made higher up. Again the doctor de-
parted, and again we waited. Do not
imagine that all this time we were alone.
During the whole time doctors were COM
ing in and examining and enquiring until
at least thirty must have been there first
and last.
Presently DIR. Scott came stridiug in,
his face radiant with success and his eyes
glowing with enthusiasm. w have
found the ball" said he, Ego and look"
Right here let me stop and say a word.
The man that does something in this
world is a man of enthusiasm. The man
whose heart is in his work.. If Eugene
Ewing had been DIR. Scott's own brother
he could not have shown more pleasure.
OF course he had the pride of success. OF
course his professional sense was all
aroused. But beyond that there was that
something OF true sympathy and personal
interest that binds you TO a man. We
never met a finer gentleman than DIR. j.
N. Scott.
We all rushed to the office to see the
negative of the Photograph, and there
sure enough, away up ten inches higher
than was before suspected, was the deadly
little missile, where it had lain hidden for
these twenty-three long years, its place of
hiding exposed at last. The ball was
found between the ribs, on the right side.
imbedded about half its size in the sixth
joint of the spine, counting from the
neck. All the doctors say it can be easily
removed with little danger. Mr.. Ewing
intends to have it renove about the last
of October.
Its removal will at all events leave him
in no worse condition thania present-aII
of the possibilities are before him. The
Lord only knows how much good it will
DO. Many of the doctors are OF the opin-
ion that he will recover and take his place
among men once more, or at any rate be
much improved. My opinion is worth
nothing, of course, but 1 want to record
my belief hat he will get up and walk.
1t would not be right to close this
account without thanking tho doctors
who SO kindly aided and s~ympathized
with Mr.. Ewing while at Kansas City.
They were all good, all kind. all helpful.
There are no nobler men than the medical
fraternity at Kansas City. They may be
very sure that the thanks and prayers of
as grateful a heart as ever beat are theirs.
