over two years, surprised her daugh-a
ter, Mrs. Michael Lillis, Tuesday morn
ing by insisting that she must make
call on her old friend, Henry Madigan,
who has been at deaths door the past
month. Nothing could prevent her, so
the daughter accompanied the aged
mother to the Madigan home on foot
The journey was made without serious
mishap, and after look at the pa
tient who was unable to respond to the
greeting OF his old ne1ghbor, she sig
nffed her willingness to return home.
Mrs. Lillis was the point of sum-
moning a conveyance to bring the non
ogenarian home when DR.. w G. Kter-
nan, the Madigan physician present,
offered the use of his auto for the pur-
pose, rnodestly, fearing a refusal. Con-
trary to expectation, Mrs Scan1on sur
prised him and all by gladly accepting
the offer. Jumping into the car, unas-
sisted, She was quickly borne to her
home, while the daughter, Mrs. Lillis
rode with the doctor IN the front seat.
Arrived at her home she expressed her
thanks for the pleasure afforded by
the doctor in her first trip in a buzz

might have another experience before
she died. Needless to say the gaHanI
doctor promised to come another lay
and give her that pleasure
