SYNOPSIS.

Professor Desmond of the Peak observa-

the country by announcing that what APP

working the stiffness from his muscles
with every step also again ran al
most lightly. Close upon each others
heels they raced over the uneven
rocks.
They passed across a treacherous
slide OF shale rock where a misstep

forts.
He scanned the cliff. Just above
his head was another projection which
promised a foothold could he but
reach it, and burying his fingers in a
crack and finding an inch wide sup

the strain. Slowly he raised himself,
found another grip and another tiny
support and with an effort that sent
the blood surging to his temples
brought himself gasping one notch
higher. Here again the ascent became
a trifle less precarious for ways, and
another half-hour found him within a
few feet of the summit Here of all
places during the ascent he came the
nearest to plunging the whole distance
to the rocks below, but a last des-
perate struggle saved him and weak
and trembling from the supreme eff
fort he threw himself down safely
over the edge. For a moment he rest
ed, then cautiously arose and looked
about.
Upon a far distant western peak the
sun was balanced like a broad gold
coin poised delicately. It's horizontal
rays swept the plateau upon which he
stood, but of the heat that had grid
died him during that day of frenzied
pursuit scarce a vestige remained in
the thin air. Oh, that awful pursuit!
His brain had seethed as a cauldron,
his body reeled like a drunken mans,
his numbed limbs responding TO the
driving power of his will as mechanic

bearing the woman of his heart ever
close before his glazed eyes, while
March, his accursed rival, had ridden
upon his back and borne him down
like an old man of the sea. At times
it had seemed as though he would go

it dimly seemed to him that he had,

What mattered a dead man or two in
a case like this when a dragon was to
be slain and a princess-his princess
to be rescued! He laughed quickly
sharply, a single explosive sound more
like the bark of a beast than the
sound of human voice. He turned
and faced the plateau.
Desolation. 1t stretched away in q

volcanic, numbered with the left over

hours of incessant scramble and run,

been severe enough to sorely tax the
most hardened mountaineer. But he
had rested for fully half an hour now
and once more felt capable OF resum-

with no indication upon the part of

to Clay's eyes as he drew his pistol.

perfection in providing rapid, safe and
comfortable travel with minimum of
danger. The number of persons in
jured in accidents on railroads, 49,, 53s,
Is also small as contrasted with the
number of passengers who ride on the
trains each year.
The railroads have experts who do
nothing but instruct the employees as
to the best method of making travel
safe, hoping by educating the rank and

to eliminate as many risks as possible.

killed in II railroad accident.
By far the greatest number Of per
sons killed were trespassers. A total
of G,632 persons, neither passengers
nor employees, were killed last year.

made up from the ranks of the en-

Telephone Girls Ewes.

In an article on this subject the
Press Bulletin of the American
Medical association says that the
average term of service of the tele-
phone girl, of whom there are 1885,
600 in the United States, is three
years; that this is due to the effect
of the light flashes "resulting in
fatigue to the eyes, to say nothing
of the mental and physical strain
under which the operator constantly
works; that the symptoms of eye
strain which the girls develop are
headache. dizziness, indigestion, ex-
haustion, nerve strain, insomnia,
colds, and so forth. The two or
three short years of telephone work
possible to the girls, as well as nine
tenths of all their suffering, is prob
ably due to the constant near-range
eyework without proper protection
for the eyes. - The telephone girls
job is no sinecure and hard one at
the best.

Ruling of District Court Affirmed.

The state supreme court has
affirmed the ruling of Judge G. A.
Nye denying new trial in the case
of Elvira Peterson VS.. DR.. A. G..
Phelps Of Milaca for malpractice.
The case came up for trial at the
November, 1912, term of the district
court at Princeton and the jury
awarded plaintiff damages in the
sum of 81, 500. This suit grew out
of the alleged improper treatment
of an ailment to one of the plaintiff Is
fingers which resulted in permanent
injury. Defendant made application
for a new trial but this was denied
by the trial court. Later an appeal
was taken to the supreme court and
following is the ruling handed down
by that court last Friday:
Elvira Peterson, respondent, VS..
A. G. Phelps appellant.
Syllabus: In an action for NAL.
practice where it is alleged that de-
PENDANT did not use skill and care in
diagnosing and treating a felon on
plaintiffs finger, and that he did
not make the necessary and proper
incision in the finger, it is not error
to admit testimony of the actual
treatment given including the prick
ing of the finger with needle.
The verdict in so far as it en-
bodies conclusion that defendant
was guilty of malpractice and that
the loss of PLAINTIFFS finger resulted
therefrom is amply supported by the
evidence, and it must also be held
that the evidence sufficiently estab-
fishes that plaintiff became a patient
of defendant and entitled to receive
such treatment as the physician pos
sessed of the ordinary care and skill
would give.
There was no abuse of discretion
IN denying new trial on the ground
OF newly discovered evidence, such
evidence being cumulative, and
directed to collateral matters, and
the excuse for it's non-production at
the trial being weak.
