so learned, so strong, so decisive, so masterful and withal so gentle and considerate.
 And the physician had marked the purpose and ambition of the lad, had noted his keen desire to acquire knowledge and his purpose to help himself, and consequently had helped him and encouraged him. He gave him much leisure and made 1t possible for him to attend the night schools.
 Also had the surgeon noted with approval and appreciation the lads conscientious performances of his du- ties. He learned to rely absolutely on him for the accomplishment of whatever he was told to do. And SO he had grown to make him more an attendant than a groom or 8 driver. At the clinics, instead of leaving him without, he often gave him a seat among the students, and trusted him to do many little things which gave the lad an increasing insight into the mysteries of surgery and medicine. It was no wonder that Ben's ambition turned in the direction of his masters profession, as he came to see the vast amount of suffering relieved and the army of sick and maimed made whole and well.
 The reflections of both came to an end as they drove into the great yard with the massive stone house in the center. The weather was cold and threatening and Ben was directed to. take the horse into the barn. An instant later the doctor entered the sick room and his face grew grave as he examined his patient There had been turn for the worse and there was immediate necessity for the opera ton.
 "where is Dr. MatsonT' he inQuIr- ed of the nurse.
 'Tze has not come yet. sir" was the reply.
 See if you can get him on the phone" commanded the surgeon. Tell him there is the greatest urgency for his immediate presence"
 A moment later the nurse returned with the intelligence that the storm outside had so affected the telephone service that no responce could be ob- tained from the central operator The doctor glanced at the patient, then walked to the window and surveyed the storm without. The operation must be performed at once if the pa- tient was to be saved. The physician who was to assist with the anaestnet- 10 had failed him for some reason and to summon another In the storm would require more valuable time than could be spared. He stepped Into the haIR and summoned Ben.
 Ben" he said. gravely, ''you have watched many operations of mine. I want you to watch the anaesthetic end of tnis one. Dr. Archer has not arrived, and there is most urgent haste. I guess you can be safely trust ed after I administer the anaesthetic,

 "Ben, is the horse ready?" called out the doctor from his consultation room.
 ''Yes, sir,'' answered Ben promptly, from the outer office.
 See if you can get together my things for that Bliss operation" the doctor continued. appearing at the door. I'm @ little late. and while wash my hands and get into my coat you can get them together. Here is the list" and he handed Ben paper.
 HOW did you know what I would need?" asked the doctor, looking pug zled.
 Ben flushed. 'T knew the operation was on for today, and I read what some of the books said about it while I was waiting here," replied Ben. 'Tfs a very interesting operation. sir"
 Yes, indeed 1t is," replied the doc- tor, looking at the boy quizzically. DO you always read up about my cases?"
 Not always" answered Ben, evil dently embarrassed. Sometimes when I have time and the cases are unusual.'
 You will be studying medicine first thing you know, Ben"
 T intend to-" replied Ben. simply.
 The doctor laughed again, flung on his great coat and in trice they were driving up town at brisk pace.
 The doctor was plunged into his own reflections, for the case before him was a most serious and important one. The boys mind still whirled with thoughts provoked by the brief talk in the office. He never had dared be- fore to speak aloud his long cnerish- ed hope, recently chrystallized into resolution, to become a physician. He realized the audacity of the concep- tion. He was merely the body servant, the groom of Dr. Hatehfiel !. without education. without antecedents, means, relatives or friends, dependent upon his daily exertions for his daily food, shelter and raiment. He had not even a common school education. From early boynood he had been compelled to work for his own support. Only a few brief terms had he had in school
 But he had ever been ambitious to learn and had spent several terms at night school and had tried to improve himself by his own reading. He felt that he was not wholly Ignorant as he compared himself with boys who had enjoyed regular attendance at the schools, and he knew in his stout heart that he had a stronger purpose and more self-denial than most of those he had met The desire to be a physician had not been born in him, but had grown upon him with his service with pr. Hatchfield. The cele- brated surgeon had become his secret Idol before he had been in his service a month. Never had ne met a man

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Improvement Reported in Retail Trade
Despite Unfavorable Weather,
MANUFACTURING PLiNTs ARE BUSY
Although Cool, Wet Weather Retnrds
Farming Operations Confidence
is Prevailing Sentl-
ment

NEW YORK, May 26.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Improvement is reported in retail trade.
although weather conditions are still TAR
from ideal and excessive rain retards agri-
cultural progress sufficiently to cause con-
servatism among dealers. Yet confidence in
the future is the prevailing sentiment and
anticipating large fall trade. Manufac-
turing plants are busy, especially in heavy
being made or seasonable closing is neces-
sary Shoe factories find difficulty in start
ing work on fall footwear owing to tho
numerous supplementary spring orders, and
there is little idle machinery in textile
lines, which feel the impetus of advancing
raw materials. Operations make favorable
comparisons with recent years and there is
little controversy regarding wages or hours
of labor. Foreign commerce at this port
Ior the last week SHOWS nttle change IN
comparisons with the same period a year
ago, exports decreasing $2Zl.ii5. while i'm
ports gained S5OO,9o6 Railway earnings thus
lar reported for May exceed those OF n
year ago by per cent and, after falling to
the lowest point of the year, prices OF Sc
curities recovered materially. Money is
abundant and easy and commercial pay
ments are more prompt in most sections of
the country.
In the iron and steel industry there is
great activity on old orders, and general
confidence in vigorous demand during the
second half of the year, but current buying
is extremely light, except in a few depart
ments. Hence the mills and furnaces are
more active than the markets just now,
which explains the apparent contradiction
of reports, In steel rails and all other rail-
way supplies and heavy lines for buildings
and bridges II is often impossible TO secure
shipments with sufficient prOmptnesS, while
pipe and tube mills have orders well ahead,
uut in some otheI divisions the situation
is less satisfactory and more effort Is being
made to secure foreign trade. Coke follows
the quiet tendency OF pig IRON, ovens clos
ing as stocks accumulate. No dlminution
ot strensth Is noted in raw wool, and the
CnETpgnO00inUlN
views. Worsteds continued IN greatest
favor, but woolens are not far behind.
Tanners have exhibited no interest in the
Chicago hide market during the past week
and as a natural result quotations show "A
downward tendency The depression eN-
tends TO imported dry hides, Western
country hides are relatively frmer than
other divisions of the market, Leather con

terially quickened by more seasonable
weather, allowing of belated retail buying
materializing and ordinary crop develop
ing occurring. Railway earnings for the
hrst half of May exceed year ago by
65 per cent.
Divers conditions rule in two different
divisions of the textile trades. The cot
ton trade after two years of depression
and unsettement, due TO irregular or very
high prices, is experiencing revival.
Woolen goods, on the other hand, are be-
ginning to feel the influence of the great
advance in raw material, and while pc
culiar lines of goods are selling well, others
find the margin of profit between the raw
and finished material narrow one. Higher
prices for woolens seem assured If the
present prices for raw material hold.
Pig iron buying is az a standstill the only
new business being some orders booked for
foundry grades Prices are easier In the
cruder forms of finished material such as
structural rails and plates, business is still
good and the output is heavy. Iron and
Steel are passing into consumption in large
volume in general lines Southern lumber
markets are strong and advancing. Anthra-
cite coal is active, but bituminous is dull
on large supply. of grade coke is in buy
er's favor.

was attained. although the boat is but

AS the boat gained in speed, hattenins
her passengers against their back support
ers, as the propellers gripped and fairly
hurled It forward. the mild roar OF the
engines ascended to a shrek; the sounds
OF it's eight exhausts smote the ear like
the continuous reports OF machine gun,
mingled with the scream Of the riven
water. while the shore, dimly seen through
a veil of powdered spray, few by like a
train.
There was no swing or plunge no lurch
or roll The grand little craft poured on

NEW YORK, May 26.-Bradstreet's to-

Wholesale trade is seasonably quiet, pend
