4 NIGHT OF ANXIETY.

After issuing the ominOus bulletin on sunday
night that Mr. Kplng's condition gave rise
10 the gravest apprehension for the outcome
Dr. Janeway decided 10 remain continuously
with his patient until the crisis was passed
To that end he engaged a room in the hote|
and for the greater part Of the time until sun
rise yesterday morning he was at the bedside
Of the sick man. His colleague Or. Dunham
also kept an all-nght vigil. The strain OF the
unremitting attention and watchfulness when
the latter has given 70 the case since he was
called TO attend Mr.. Kipling week ago Is
making itself apparent. He was worn and ia
tigued when he came downstairs yesterday
morning. soon after 0 o'clock. He answered
the Inquiries OF the newspaper men with Il
would appreciate IT greatly If you would not
question me. as my thoughts must be devoted
wholly to Mr. Kipling Such questions are very
disturbing"
DR. Dunham's manner was that OF one who
feared the worst To the questions Of other
seekers after the latest news Of his patients
condition he would only shake mis- head gravely
and refer them to the bulletins.
II was learned through other channels Of IN
formation that throughout the night Mr.. Kip
ling had been close to the parting line or life
and death. In their fight against the disease
the two doctors were aided by the giant Will or
the man whose struggle through the throes or
an insidious disease all the world Is anXlousiy
watching At time he was delirtous and 1t was
found necessary to resort TO oxygen TO help
respiration To the relief Of the watchers IN
the sicl,roon daylight found Mr. KiplinG stil
alive. There was no Improvement IN his state
however and no encouragement could be OBJ
ta,ned from the following bulletin. which was
issued at $50 yesterday morning:
Mr. Kping has been during, ths s.,-I3 nigRt' and IS

Not long after the publication OF this bulletin
DR. Janevay left the hotel He refused to an
svyor any inquiries but It taken as a hope
ful sign that he permitted himself 10 leave the
sick chamber Friends Of Mr. Kipling who had
talked with the physicians on Sunday lnu-
mated that It was the opinion Of the doctors
that II the author lived through the night he
would have an even chance of passing safely
through the crisis which had come on him.
HEART ACTION GOOD
+ was also stated in the forenoon that Mr..
Kiollng had been unconscious only for brief
intervals. that he had been able to take slim
ulants and that the hearts action was strong
considering the aruteness Of the attack. When
DR.. Durham appeared in the hallway, at about
II o'clock his manner conveyed the impression
that he was a little less gloomy than he had
been earlier in the day. The hope induced by
these reassuring incidents was added TO when
me second bulletin was posted at $50 p. m.
