In the midst of his investigations the panic of lSOS came on and swept away every ves' tlgc of his fortune.

Casting glance over the dining room as he entered, he espled the young Count Helnegrund. an oth cer of the Garde du Corps, sitting at a table dining with several companions Dr. Ielehart chose a table near 10 this young man and ordered hls dinner While he was waiting for it he amused himself watching the men at the ad' Joining table and listening to their conversation. Indeed. SO pronounced was his ogllng. especially at the count that the young officer scowled at him. with the remark. "I will pig stick you! m expression common in Germany to denote a ripping up of ones interior. This led to a cool retort from the doc tor. who threw his card on the enemys table and left the room.
 At midnight Prince Almenach, repre- sentlng Count IIclnegrund. called at Dr. Islehart's rooms and was informed that the doctor was not at home.

Meanwhile. glaring about the autcroom. the prince saw the doe tors framed medical diplomas and let tcrs from the most celebrated bactori olosiSts. When he had cooled, he nos ticeL that the waiting patients were many of them known Co him.
 It was l2 o'clock when the doctor hastily entered the room with Prince Almenach's card in his hand and, rush Ing up to his serene transparency burst forth:
 "Ah. prince. pardon this unfortunate blunder. This stupid son Of Erin should have given me your card at once. Instead Of that. he placed it on a side table. perceived it only mo ment ago when [ went there to get an instrument. Come Into my consulting room at once
 The prince followed the doctor and. urol being seated. was invited to state tue object of. his call. When he bad done so. the doctor said:

 The prince was so pleased at the doc. tors cordial reception and SO impress cd wlth his professional importance that he volunteered to do what he could to effect a settlement.
