 ''Oh. that's the askin' price," he ex- plained. Its like a woman's chignon: it'll come off
 I'm in your hands," said I. Under stand, I want your guarantee in this business, and you'll be paid for it. Be sides the horse, I need harness and ;i buggy
 Wall" said he, after a moments cal culation, ''Fll be fair with ye. Will ye give me what I can clear under $500 fer the hull outfit, hoss, light-runnin' buggy, and d good harness?'
 Its bargain. I'll go to the bank draw the money, and bring it to YOU here. Will you drive the rig to Bassett- vile, so that I can get it there tonight when come down by train?"
 By the time yer back from the bank I'll have made the flicker and be ready fr c.4. T T I as his word. Before noon the payment had been made and my new horse was. trotting steadily along the road lead ing from Trent. Carpenters praise of the animal had been enough to end my doubts as to his speed, but I could not but wish that the steed were more pleas ing to look upon.
 Though I wasted good deal of time over midday dinner and the various commissions 1 had to execute, I found upon reaching the railway station that there was nearly an hour of waiting ahead of me before the accommodation train should begin it's journey down the road. The station, however, was not a bad place in which to kill time, for two lines met there, and the rapid ebb and flow of the human tide continued from morning to night. [ rubbed elbows with stolid farmers, brisk townspeople and nervous women, chatted for mo- ment with an acquaintance, and then stepped out upon the platform in search of some sheltered nook where a cigar might be enjoyed in peace A long train from the west monopolized = of the tracks. It appeared to be
 filled with passengers, and I strolled the length of it, surycyiEg with some amusement the faces fat tened against the windows of the cars, faces old, middle-aged and young, bu. all alike in their expression of vague curiosity, as their owners watched tilt. stream of travellers passing from the waiting-rooms. I had nearly reached the end of the last car, and had bent down to strike match in the lee of it, when I heard my name called.
 ''Cf, Dr. Morris, Dr. Morris, dear doc tor, that's you, isn't it? Do come here. quick, quick! The train will be start ing in second, and I must see you. Oh, doctor, doctor, quick, quick"
 l recognized the voice. It was that of Mrs. Loring. with all the old hurry ing rush of words remembered so we'll. Looking up, saw the itinerant sufferer leaning far out of the car window, with one arm waving wildly, as if to assist in attracting r.y attention. Pulling off my hat. ! sprang toward her
 ''Oh. this is fortunate, fortunate. doe tor-you can't know how fortunate, she cried. live been anxious, so anx- ious, to see you. How is my health } Oh, doctor, it's terrible, terrible, worse than ever. doctor; worse, much worse, very much worse.''
 And Miss Gray, is she still with you?' l asked, my eyes roaming ovc- the windows and seeking her niece < face at one of them
 "1es. yes, dear girl. dear girl, she never leaves me. How could she. ar,: have heart? Mine, doctor, has been up to 120 minute.'
 ''Indeed." said 1, throwing due pro- fessional gravity into the word q trust Miss Gray is wello'
 ''Yes, yes, as well as ever. And tern perature of 1O2, repeatedly, doctor, re- peatedly.'
 What. Miss Gray's tem-?" cried I. with no fictitious concern.
 No, no, mine. Dear me, doctor didn't I tell you it was mine? Those springs in Kentucky-we'vej just come from them-they did me no good. Tn: sure. And I was so hopeful, doctor. .sr hopeful; the water had so many s1ras-- things ill it, I was sure some of tl.s T. must help me-
