A dark figure whirled between him and the
window. repeating in frigidly polite tones:
Please be seated; the doctor will wait on
you presently. Please be seated: the doc

emily. Please be-" but by that time
Mynnye was waltzing over near the front
windows, and her voice was lost in that
more soothing one that said:
Now hold still. This won't hurt you
very much"
n pair of forceps settled down on another
of the doctors molars. there was a gouge
and a twist, a little pause, twist and a
yank and another little pause, a slow,
steady pull and a pause, twist and an
other gouge, then sideways jerk. and the
doctor had chance 10 howl He howled
like old Rain-in-the-Face with a stomach
full of firewater while four gin fixes and
pair of highbals trickled from his clammy
brow. He had just opened up for another
yell, one that would really do credit TO his
lungs, when n soothing voice said:
Now hold still. This won't hurt very
much"
Then the forceps slid in. and he lost an
other tooth. How he did squirml IL he
could only have seen himself wriggle he
would have been delighted, but il was al
most pitch dark I'm there, and he was denied
that pleasure. To make up for IL he howled
some more, and tried TO squirm loose from
the chair. 1t was no use. The iron arm and
hand of The Professor held him firmly and
pressed his jaws apart, while a soothing
voice said:
Now hold still This won't hurt very
Steadily The Professor kept at his work,
while DR.. Harvey Hickenhyphen writhed
and squirmed and twisted like contor-
zionist with the stomachache, and howled
like bunch OF property owners on tax day.
Every now and then Mynnye twirled in
from the reception room, circled around
him, and begged him TO be seated-that the
doctor would wait on him presently, then
The Professor would tell him to hold still
assure him that il wouldn't hurt very
much, and pull another tooth. just The
Professor reached the last one, however,
Mynnye happened to touch the button, and
a new voice, a harsh. gruff one. broke in.
Come an out aY that now, We durthy
Backyard" said the new voice.
IL was Pat, and the doctor had never
heard such welcome sound. A moment
later and he found an iron hand at his
collar, and powerful pull yank him out
of his chair. The Professor, though, was
just lifting his forceps at the time and the
forceps fastened onto Pats ear. Nothing
daunted by this, Pat grabbed the doctor by
the seat of his pants and started for the
door, dragging the doctor and The Profess
sor with him. No doubt il would have been
an ordinary case of throw-out but for the
fact that. in the reception room, Pat and
burden smack into Mynnye. and his
track was not invented with the idea OF in
terruptions.

All the answer he got was to please be

the doctor, and Pat and Mynnye were
struggling for the right-of-way. At last.
however, Pat being the stronger, though
driven out OF his course. forced his way
across the room and. with one mighty
heave tossed Doctor Harvey Hickenhyphen
through his own plate-glass window.
The doctor was perfectly sober when he
hit the sidewalk.
He looked UP. and there leaning out on
the sill in confused, wriggling mass. were
three figures.
