Miss Sanger said nothing for some
time. When she did she asked:
DO you mean. George. that the doc
tors infused into you only the blood
of womenY
That's all There was no mans
blood"
Miss Sanger sat rigid. The express
sion on her face was not pleasant to
look upon.

He arose and hounced out of the
room. In the hall he waited for her
to call him back. But she didn't, and
he reluctantly went away.
He did not return TO her that day,
and the next he returned to the insti-
tute for observation. When he went
again to see his ladylove. hoping to
make up what he considered u trifing
misunderstanding he found that she
had left the city.
We'll, 1 declared" he exclaimed,
quite startled
But somehow he didn't miss her.
On the days he did not report at the
institute he went to the shops, looked
over the pretty things displayed there
were special inducements offered. He
petted all the children he passed and
asked their mothers If they were nurs-
ed or brought. up on the bottle and If
the latter what food was used. The
news of the day failed to interest
him, and whenever he was found
reading the newspapers it was noticed
that he was studying the advertise
mentS.
One day the two doctors wins had
operated on him were discussing the
results of their experiment
"Well, doctor" said Pendleton, what
do you think?'
Until yesterday" replied Sisson,
my only conclusions were that the
TRANSMISSION of blood of the female into
the male conduces to effeminacy. But
something occurred yesterday after
noon which leads me to think that
woman's blood transfused into a man
may produce feminine perceptive fac
ulties in man."
What is the incident that has led
you to this scientific conclusion"
''Well, yesterday afternoon while
passing down the street 1 heard the
sound of drums, followed by the in
spring strains of music. Waiting to
learn the cause, presently 1 saw a pro-
cession coming. attended by the usual
crowd AS it drew nearer L observed
that the participants were women. At
their head, holding aloft banner with
the words Votes For Women on 1t,
marched our subject, Mr.. Wattles."
The doctor paused. while his colabor-
er in the field of science sat in deep
thought. Finally he said:
"And your inference is?"
"That the TRANSMISSION of woman's
blood into man has for its resultant
Surely no deteriorating effect. doc

ings women have for their rights"
The two men sat silently thinking
for some time, when Or. Pendleton
said:
Doctor. I propose that the records
Of this experiment be burned"
"Why 500" asked Slsson.
"If published they will be a terrible
blow to the male sex"
"In what respect, doctor? Explain
yourself"
Il will do so by asking you a ques-
ton. Suppose Mrs. SissOn should hear
that the infusion OF woman's blood in
ton of her rightsY
Great heavens, doctor, she would
