AT the end of the room he had caught
a distorted glimpse of Lady Marche.
He gazed at her for space; then
his eyes wandered and his ideas came
to sudden halt. Round about him ne
saw preoccupation settled upon groups
OF men; he saw heads turned toWarn
the door. Following a very human ih-
pulse he turned his own in the same
direction. He was not inquisitive, Dut

Poe's wife, Virginia, only 20, was

sense Of the injustice Of the world and
his own inability to provide the com

he said. 81 suppose you think that be-

His balance and his nerve seemed lost.

His tone was ludlcrous, but his face
was woefully perplexed.
She watched him curiously. Then an
expression-just the dawning of a smile
stole into her eyes. She clasped her
hands and the smile crept very slowly
from her eyes to her mouth.

they were the accompaniment to his
tangling thoughts.

said obstinately.

HE is CAPTAIN, SHE STEERS.
1t was n random rhymer,

1t was random rhymer,
Blithe-hearted as the May,
Who plucked the Towering climber
Along the river way;
1t was the ferryman's daughter,
with gypsy rose and tan,
Who ferried DER the water
This straying minstrel man.
Her hair had purple tintings
Above her seashell ear;
Her eyes had starry glintings,
Her laugh was lyric clear.

still further back. He saw Creighton
introduce four men. Then his control
gave way. He forced an opening in
the crowd; but when he reached her
side and scope his voice had tone that
even to him was new.

She looked up with just the falntest
surprise. Then her eyes fell on the fac
ing Of his red coat, and she smiled-the
friendliest and most perfect smile he
had ever seen. He realized with shame
that he had never known till then that
hazel eyes had shadows and reflections,

The words seemed the frankest and

There is nothing in the world so Wv

three dances to Lady Marche. His las

tbe shifting crowd had become the uni

a wonderfully deferred dream, the fifth

THE NEW FEE BILL
OF TWIN-CITY PHYSICIANS

The Rock Island and Moline Medi-
cal union, which comprises all the Ii
censed physicians of both cities, has
adopted a new fee bin which goes in
to effect New Years day. The fees
from Jan. 1, 1908, Will be:
For visits between a. M. and p.
m. $1.5O to S..
For visits between 6 a. IN. and a.
m, 50 to 81
For visits between 6 p. m. and 10 p.
M. 81 to 81.
For visits between 10 p. IN. and a.
M, 50 to So.
For visits at stated time, 50 to s..
For visits during office hours, 81 to
SIS.
For emergency visit (where every
thing must be dropped in order to
make il Immediately, So to s..
For consultation visit, S. to $25.
An extra charge may be made for
bad roads or Indictment weather. The
only change is in regard to the first
item which has been raised from 81 to
So TO S1.5O to 50.
There are more changes in other
parts of the fee bill, especially in the
surgical schedule. There are many
operations now of almost daily occur
renee which were unheard of 10 or Is
years ago, when the old fee bill was
formulated. The reasons for the
slight increase in the amount of the
fees are that much more is demanded
of physicians and surgeons now than
formerly and the vastly increased
cost of living.
The following named physicians
have pledged themselves to the new
fee bill:
