A moment later he had gathered up
all the evidences of his work and sum
moncd the lady who appeared to be his
mistress. She came in flushed, as if
she had been riding, looked at Laport
critically and said:
"You are DIR. Samuel Franklin, Of
Cincinnati, and ! am your doIghter.
You are to assume, to the best of your
ability, the manner of a rather per-
emptory but llind-hcarted parent. You
can scold me for my extravaganza a
little if you like. You are to carry
this roll of bills and when called upon
pay our expenses. You are also to
take this little check book and draw
your check as | direct. Further direc-
tions | can give you as we journey.
The horses are at the door"
Five minutes later Laport was on the
back of a handsome horse, riding by
the side of a jaunty and spirited COM
panion. Immediately behind them
rode three others, who made up the
group. The way for some distance
was across fields, but presently they
came into one of those grass-grown
lanes that divide farms and little
later struck common country high
way running southwest. Not word
was spoken by Laport's companion
for a mile or two except an occasional
direction as to speed But after an
hours ride they came to group of
houses, when she said: ''It is neces-
sary that we show ourselves here. You
are to preserve the air of the father
of the family-that is all.
At the largest of the houses the party
drew up and asked for a drink of wa
ter of man at the door. While it was
being served Laport remained in the
road-thc rest drew up chattcringly at
the door and managed adrOitly to tell
the man how they had been disap-
pointed in their ride and were hurry
ing back to Shmleyville. Some ques-
tious were also asked about better
roads; and then, with flippant jests,
some coin was flung to the man and
they started off again. 1t was now
half-past three o'clock and a ride OF
half an hour brought them to an inter.
secting and evidently not much Travelled

is no telegraph on our route"

SURGICAL PROGRESS.
Of Muscles In ths
Treatment Of DcfOrniitieS Per-
formed with Perfect Success.

The Ingenious method of remedying
loss Of power and deformity from pa
ralysis of certain muscles by attaching
their tendons to those of others is of
recent growth. In the Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal Dr. Joel +. Gold
hurst describes an important advance
on this method made by American sur
geons in the last few years-the dissec-
ton out of the muscles and their direct
reattachment to others. In n largo
number of cases of infantile paralysis
the sartorius escapes. Being a tieNor
of the knee, its action is useless or
harmful! when extension is lost from
paralysis of the quadriceps. To im-
prove the limb and restore extension
DR.. Goldhurst transplants the sartorius
and attaches it to the quadriceps tendon
just above the patella. He has operated
on five patients with marked improve
ment in three and failure in two, which
he attributes to imperfect methods OF
attaching the muscle. He operates as
follows: A six-inch longitudinal in
cision is made on the inner side of the
thigh with the middle opposite the top
of the patella. The sartorius is dis
sected out, cut of at its insertion,
brought forward and attached to the
muscular fascia just above and little
to the inner side Of the patela. The at
| tachment must be made firmly by split
ting the fascia and drawing the muscle
through, so that it becomes udherent to
both inner and outer surfaces. Kanga-
roo tendon is used for sutures, being
the best material The wound is then
closed and the whole thigh is band
aged, and finally plaster of Paris band
age or a long splint is applied, The
patient is kept recumbent for two weeks
at least, gentle motion is commenced at
the end of three weeks, and tho plaster
is entirely omitted at the end of from
five to six weeks. One case was that OF
Il woman, aged 22 years, paralyzed from
early childhood, who had no power Of
extension or of bearing WEIGHT on the
limb unless the knee was fixed artificial
| ly and who had fail-liSe leg, hinging
gait, and used a crutch constantly,
After the operation, though still some
what lame, chiefly from weakness OF
the foot and ankle, the mechanical diff
fculty at the knee and the gate were all
most entirely corrected, the leg was ex-
tended normally, and she was able to do
housework.-Lancet.

RAILWAY SIGNALING.
A New and Apparently Perfectly Safe
System That Acts ms a Sort
Of Telegraph.

4 new train order and block signal"
has been invented by Mr.. rs. Edison, of
the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago q
St. Louis. The system is resigned" "
says the Railway Age, for the mani
fold purpose of informing the men in
charge of trains why they are blocked
and to do away with the necessity for
the operator to remove the red signal
from trains in one direction, and the
possibility of losing control Of trains,
for which the operator has orders, while
allowing trains for which he has no or
ders to continue their journey. 1t has
been the practice hitherto, when a train
was blocked, for the engineer and con-
ductor to remain at their respective
posts for some minutes, awaiting the
block to be given them"
In this new system one "block" means
simply that they are blocked, but two

She then struck her animal and La
port followed her. The pace was u
painful one, for he no longer had the
suppleness of youth. But determination
supplied him with endurance, and they
rode at a rapid pace through an unin-
habited tract, and he was much re-
lieved when they turned once more into
a well-traveled road that ran in q west
erly direction, and his companion said:
You can take it easy now, Well
walk our horses here and let them dry.
We are safe. If you are pursued the

ELECTRIC QUACKERY,
mittcd TO CsO Electricity In
Treatment of Disease.

An English coroner has condemned
in severe terms the use of electricity In
medicine by persons who are utterly
unqualified to use it. As he said, In
some cases electricity is beneficial, but
in others it might aggravate a disease
aud accelerate death. "He gould not
understand why people did not go to
reputable hospital for treatment" The
case which ELECTED these comments was
of an artist II years of age, who had
died in a hospital presided over by
man who claimed to be medical cleo
trician. 1t seems that while this PRO
fessor" had no medical qualifications,
he treated with free hand by electrical
devices of different kinds consumption,
throat affection, blindness, short sight,
internal disease, influenza and the voice
of public speakers. The strong card of
the professor" seemed TO be the
X-rays. With these he claimed he could
secure remarkable results in the cure
of impaired or even lost eyesight, and
he had found the rays useful in many
diseases which caused a weak circula-
tion. They terminated capillary eircu-
lation." The cutaneous troubles nris-
ing from the indiscreet application OF
X-rays are now quite familiar to the
public, and it certainly seems strange
that there should still be people ig.
