l was ushered into his coy little den
/ was rather surprised to find the doc
tor sitting in large Turkish chair and
gazing into bright log fire which
blazed most invitingly in the big CHM

cause this was the first time had ever
found him alone without great leath-

hand
MY dear DOCTOR said 1, why so
/ pensive? You look as though your
best patient had just died-your best
paying patient, mean, for, of course,
doctors are not expected to mourn
over every death"
'sYour guess is a good one" replied
the doctor quietly. "a very good pa
tient of mine died an hour ago-a very
good patient, very good friend"
Indeed! am very sorry to hear
it." said l, putting off my bantering
tone "Was there anything special
about his case? Your diagnosis was
correct, of courseY'
Il am bordering over his case, and /
am not sure about my diagnosis"
4You don't mean that you have made
any mistaken"
Perhaps, but not as you mean it.

and consequently was perfectly frank
with him from the outset His death
tonight was even sooner than we had
anticipated, but of course in such cases
the exact duration of life cannot be
prognosticated.' 2
"How, then, was there mistake in
your diagnosis?' l was puzzled.
Il did not say that there was / do
not know, and that is the trouble
Explain, please
My friend was a spiritualist. On all
other subjects he was certainly as ra-
tional as any man. Indeed he was ed
ucated far beyond the average of even
college bred men. Still he believed in
spirits believed that the dead return
to this world, mean.''
There are lots of such people in the
world said T. "But what about your
mistake in the diagnosis2'' / was thus
persistent because had come to be-
lieve the doctor infallible as a diagnos-
tician.
ooh, that was but a figure of
speech" he replied, smiling. 81 alluded

thought as you do-that he was mild
sort of monomaniac simply because he
held to his spiritualistic views
Cause enough" said l. Surely no
sane man could believe that spirits
walk the earth"
"That has been my view also. Still
just before his death tonight he
preached this subject. He declared
that he would yet convince me and
that he would do it by returning to
visit me after death"
"Ah, so that is it! You were looking
into the fire just now and waiting for
your friends ghost to appear Well,

aloud. "Come, come, doctor. am glad

CASTLE HAS CARGO
OF DYNAMITE

The American barkentine S. N. Cas-
tie arrived yesterday afternoon, six
| teen days from San Francisco. She
brought seven passengers and a cargo
of general merchandise. In the cargo
was & large quantity of dynamite and
gunpowder, and the unloading of the
explosives began yesterday afternoon
at the Brewer wharf.
The dynamite was carefully handled
and the workmen didn't jar the boxes
more than they could help. The boxes
were placed on pad and then showed
down smooth skid, at the end of
which man was waiting to catch
them. He never missed one. The dyna-
mite probably received the toughest
treatment after leaving the ship. 1t
was placed on a wagon without |
springs, and jolted along the streets |
just as any other sort of merchandise |
None of it dropped off, and probably |
wouldn't have exploded if it had, as
the dynamite was securely packed |
within the boxes.
The Castle had smooth sailing all
the way down. Not a vessel was
sighted during the sixteen days voy-
age.
