THE TEST

DR. MCDONALD sat by the bedside, his fingers
lightly touching his patients pulse, his own face
turned away from the pan-distorted face on the
pillow and his dark magnetic eyes fixed dreamily upon
the ceiling The patient wrthed with agony and moaned
and mutered between teeth; but the doctors face
remained perfectly calm and little cold.

Mcdonald made no reply, except
with his sympathetic eyes. He knew
the peculiar impulsiveness of women
under nervous stress, and he was
seasoned by many a strange con-
fession. Too long had he guarded
his love for the woman before him
to permit its escape now. He had
emptied his cup to the dregs, and

The green-shaded lights within the
room threw shadow on the window,
and made no petty intrusion upon
the glory of the night. 1t was one Of
those rare nights when the stars
glitter with radiant brilliance
that seems to reach the very soul
Of man through the sense of sight,
while the sky becomes lofty dome
lined with violet velvet.
The air was tingling with ozone
and rich with the fragrance of early
spring: not the perfume of flowers,
but that more penetrating, print
tive, personal odor of naked earth,
heavy with the stirring of new life.
Life-that was it, life! Earth and
sky seemed filled to Overlooking with
the very essence of life, and DR..
Mcdonald caught some of it in his
deep, full breaths. The clean air
was more satisfying than the rarest
perfume to his city nostrils, and as
stimulating to his entire body as
water to one lost in the desert. He
continued to stand looking up at the
stars, breathing rhythmically, and
yearning for more of that life which
Nature seemed to scatter with such
prodigal carelessness.

eminence in his profession, in spite

Mcdonald was still a ydung man,
an ambitious man, a man who had
learned the value Of time and
strength, and knew that the world
had need Of him.
The world knew of him principally
as the great heart specialist: he
himself knew of one heart that still
defied his skill, and this heart was
his own. The first paroxysm had
come ten years before; the second,
five years later; and it was this
second seizure that had determined
the field of his labors. He had
diagnosed his own case in perfectly
impersonal way; he had, in fact,
taken somber pleasure in the assur-
ance that Of all the cases that had
been brought to his notice, none was
SO beautiful a study, even as none
was so hopeless of cure, as his own.
He knew every terrible phase Of

stab like the piercing Of lance,
through the eternity of torture when
the barbs of the lance seemed to be
ruthlessly jerled back and forth, to

Reports from the Bulgarian army
say that the Turks made no effort to
charge upon the Bulgarian batteries
and capture the guns.
When the wave of Bulgarian steel
fell upon the Turkish ranks, the lines
crumbled up before the bayonet

We cannot restore degenerAted facial

to remove the complexion instead-re-
move the devitalized cuticle. Not by
surgical means, however. as the UNI

withstand immediate exposure. Apply
ing ordinary mercolized wax will grad
ually absorb the offending cuticle. By
degrees. q new. youth skin appears;
skin soft and delicately tinted as

No lady need hesitate to try this.
Procure an ounce OF mercolized wax OF

before retiring, removing this In the
morning with soap and water. In from
one to two weeks the complexion Is
completely transformed.
