now ignorant.
but what about the other lega''
queried his majesty.
THAT must stay on Mr.. Johnston.
To remove ii would kill him, and he
is too valuable a man TO lose. Be
sides there is nothing about Mr.. John
ston 5 leg that is different from any
other leg. 1t was the mere novelty of
the thing, and now that your curiosity
has been satisfied, it is best to pre-
serve him as he is. y
Reluctantly the king submitted
though it was weeks before he could
pass Johnston without casting longing
eyes upon that remaining leg, and many
a sigh escaped his watery lips. De
prived of his tidbit he sought consola-
tion elsewhere, and DR.. Murphy was
soon called upon to remove leg from
slave 1t went against the grain, y
but there was no alternative.
So, smothering his sentiments, he
made the amputation. A week later
came another slave with an order TO
have leg taken off In fact. it got
to be 8 regular thing to have a roast
or boiled leg for Sunday dinner, and
the horrible buteheries of former times
gave way to the innovation. This con-
dition of affairs was agreeable to all
concerned.
The king enjoyed the honor and dis
tinetion the novelty brought him; the
natives rejoieed over the doing away
with the death penalty involved in the
old custom, and gladly gave their legs
to supply his majesty's larder. Muir
ply and Johnston found themselves in
stalled as important personages in the
tribe, looked up to and honored as
men in authority.
Singularly enough, things ran ON this
way for over four years without their
ever hearing or seeing anything of the
outside world. At first they watched,
but as months went by the vigilance
relaxed until at last they roamed about
as they pleased. Johnston became the
handy man and Jack-of- all-trades, but
to DR.. Murphy was set aside the special
service of supplying the necessary piece
de resistance for the kings table at
every quarterly change of the moon.
The advent of the Penguin was most
opportune. She arrived at time when
the king and his warriors were off visit
ing a neighboring chief, and just when
the supply of anesthetics and antiseptic
dressing was about exhausted. john
ston remained on board the ship and
sent the natives ashore for Dr. Muir
ply. The doctor grabbed up his case
of instruments, which he wanted as
souvenirs, and hastily departed with
out the formalities of farewell re-
ception.
'sThe coming of the Penguin just
when she did, remarked DIR. Murphy,
s'was one of the most cheerful events
in my service at his majesty's court.
l never could have mustered up courage
to cut off a fellows leg without
anesthesis, and to have attempted it
with the victim under the influence of
the native alcoholic beverage would
have ruined my record.'
Your reeord?'
"Yes, one hundred and forty-six am
putations at the hip without death,
without even sign of suppuration,
and all healed by first intention. That s
something to be proud Of. /"
