the dominic not, most
of the hills believed
confession of religious
tendency, but rather declaration of faith in the
preacher man. Indeed, one knew whether
DIR. Harvey possessed any other religion than that
of his broad humanity, until that Christmas
Eve of-we, mind the year; it wasn't
long ago.
THAT the year too when began more fully
to appreciate his reputation professional
man although could have convinced us, who
had known him for twenty years, that he not
the finest physician and surgeon that bestrode
a horse. The city had encroached upon
tans. although we were more than hundred rugged
miles away. It's mllllonalres had bought great
tracts of land and lake and hedged them round with
restrictions and warded them with gamekeepers,
mostly fellows who wore corduroy breeches and
couldn't shoot.
In the hearts of these reservations few palaces
had sprung up like feudal castles of which read
when boys. The telephone had stretched it's webs
here and there through the forests, and railway
had close that still nights the shrieks of
its locomotives could be heard The roads had been
improved until the mountain children no longer
affrghted at sight of putting motor car, and the old
mill at the forks where once according to
dtion General George Washington had paused to
chuck the miers pretty daughter meath her chin
had now become garage.
None of us ever quite knew what it was about
but Dr. Harvey, we learned afterward by chance
had written series of articles concerning special
study he had made and these, printed in the medi-
cal journals caused his name to be mentioned by
members OF his profession over all the world. For
the first time since we had known him he would be
absent for day at time He had been
at the railway station with his old SLOUGH hat
ing less careless and his coat carefully
brushed That alone sufficient to cause COM
ment Everyone thought, perhaps, he was going to
marry some one despite the fact that for at least
fifteen years had done best to interest him in
some of daughters.
You imagine the shock of surprise, therefore,
when we learned that the big medical societies of
New York had called Dr. Harvey-our doctor!-
down there to lecture to them; To show them city
feers how to do things Uncle Jess Slack asserted
and possibly he wasn't SO far from the truth.
THEN came another startling piece of gossip. One
of the millionaires who had gray stone castle
on Bows Peak DR.. Butcher had been told by the
eminent city surgeon, DR.. Bull, that there was
need of his coming to New York to be treated be-
cause within call a great man-Dr. Harvey
Think of that! "A great mani" Moreover, this
millionaire should have known that being doctor
himself We used to wonder why he didn't take his
medicine, because he made his money out of
Doctor Butchers Perfect Panacea." 1t was pretty
good stuff. We tried bottle when Billy had the
cholera but it didn't work we'll for cholera it
did for strains and bruises. Anyway, this
Butcher began to employ doctor and got SO well
that he became liberal. He gave DR.. Harvey auto
mobile, SO he could come faster when he called.
