Dental Surgery Practice.
Dobley's tooth was loose 1t was front
tooth. and In It's wobbling condition It did not
add to Dobleys charm or to his comfort At
breakfast Mrs. Dobey told him that his masti-
cation OF the ham reminded her OF goat on
her uncle's farm In Vermont.
Going down in the elevated that morning
Dobley met man he knew who told him that
IL was possible nowadays to have a loose
tooth frightened back in its place. He said he
had a friend who had had tooth pulled by
mistake and had it put back Just az nice as you
please. He advised Dobley to see the man and
gave him an address. a place on Sixth avenue.
Dobley left the office early. determined to
have his tooth fixed before he went home.

rather ranked in his mind. When he got to the
dentists he didn't quite fancy the place. They
had sort OF "puller in " in uniform located at
the door to give out cards and entice people in to
have their teeth fixed. Then there was case
at the door which filled Dobley with misgiving.

profession. The case was square and held
little gilt tree that looked like a hatstand. but
instead Of hats full sets Of teeth blossomed on
every bouRh. They seemed to grin in sneer-
ing way at Dobley. and he was Just about to
turn away when the uniformed man took hold

teeth and heEhad one he wished fixed while
he waited.
The young man. who didn't seem to have the
slightest sense Of humor, said he'd look at IT,
