Just q Glass of Milk.

The following interesting incident told
of DIR. Howard A. Kelly, OF Baltimore, is
characteristic of his disposition He is
member of Brown Memorial Presby
teriar church and is an excellent student
of the Bible.
One summer afternoon the doctor while
riding his bicycle along a country road
several miles from the city, became very
thirsty. lie spied a farmhouse in q
grove of trees, with n stone springhouse
directly back OF it. The situation was so
inviting that he turned in at the gate and
rode up to the back of the house.
In the doorway stood young girl,
who, in reply to the Doctors request for
a glass of water, asked whether he would
not prefer milk.
The doctor drank three glasses of the
cool, refreshing liquid, thanked his fair
hostess, and gave her his card, telling
her If she was ever in the city and in
need of a friend to call on him
About two years after this occurrence
the mother of the young lady was i'll
with q cancer, and the country doctor
told her that her only chance for re-
covery was to have an operation per-
formed in one of the city hospitals.
The family being in poor circumstances
they did not know how they could ar
ford to pay the high prices that they un-
derstood We're charged in such institu-
tions.
Then the girl remembered her bicycle
visitor OF two years before; and she
wrote to him, asking his opinion about
sending her mother to the hospital, and
inquiring as to the cost. not knowing of
the high position he occupied in the sur
eical world.
BY return mail came the answer:
Bring your mother in to my office at
once. and ] will arrange everything sat
isfactorily. If YOU have any relatives or
friends here, you might arrange to stay
with them while your mother is at the
hospital"
In a few days mother and daughter set
out for the city. Relatives We're found
who We're glad TO have the girl visit them
and the mother was taken into the doe
tors well-apponted sanatorium on Eu-
taw Place, whore the operation was per-
formed by the doctor himself. She was
kept there until she was entirely recov-
cred
In the meantime the girl had been
hearing much of the famous doctor also
of the high prices he received for opera
tions and for board at his private hos
pital, so that. when the time came for her
mother to go home, she was very much
worried about the bill After thanking
the doctor for his personal kindness 10
them she almost timidly asked for the
bill
MY dear young lady" said the doe
tor, "T am glad to have been OF service
10 you. In the envelope you will find
your bill. You must not open it until
YOU reach home this evening; then you
may see what the envelope contains"
That evening. when the family were
gathered in the living room. the girl
drew out the bill, and with trembling fin
gers unfolded IL. There were the items

To six weeks board at sanatorium ......"
