Audrey walked briskly over the snow,
slender. graceful figure in her heavy,
black garments, her lovely face lovelier
than ever in its somber setting. She
was warmly greeted by DR.. Thorngate,
who was just leaving the vicarage as she
arrived. Audrey thought he looked worn
and troubled.
MY wife will be rejoiced to see YOU"
he said, and his gaze followed the girlish
form in an affection that was deepened
only by admiration and respect.
Mrs. Thorngate was troubled, too, and
though she welcomed Lady Iverne with
all her old love, she was not herself

Il am sure you would rather 1 did not

Audrey felt her heart beginning to
beat with a sense of pain and apprehen-
sion. The very mention Of this mans
name fell like a black shadow on her
heart. She trembled as she recalled all
the evil his cold-blooded treachery had
worked between herself and Jack; the
memory Of his passionate love words
raised a blush OF shame to her face even
now, but she put her own feelings on

FOR SELFISH ENDo.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to Gauss comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors OF
the Regular or Allopathic school, Of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the. healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
In which the faith Of so many intelli-
gent people is 50 firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township =
some 10000 correspondents In all.
This committee at the last session Of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly IL the
work of active participation in State
legislation Is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members OF whom
$1,000 are fully constituted men,
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and it's total assets are $751;
567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time Of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting. amounted to only
S21,906. The excess Of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate Of
about $4,000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compeA
all of the people Of the Unitea States
to pay doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

Patron Saint Of LAWYERS.

This story Is told at the expense OF
Francis II. T. Maxwell, wellknown
lawyer. The members of the Taunton,
Mass. Bar association thought they
ought to have a patron saint, but after
much wrangling they could not hit up
on any particular saint.
Finally committee, of which Mr..
Maxwell was a member. was appoint.
ed to make a selection. They made
trip to New York, and there visited
gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble. 1t was decided to
leave the selection to Mr.. Maxwell,
and after making the rounds he placed
his hand on one in a group of two.
This one will do" he said. He had
his hand on the devil, whom st. Mi
