MAY ENCOURAGE THE OTHERS
Story Printed Here Has a Definite
Purpose That Most Will Be
Quick to Understand.

Once upon a time there was wag
who wandered away from home be-
cause he was not properly appreciat-
ed in his own town. In his journeying
he rambled far. and because he was
a fool he experienced the luck which
often attends fools, and finally came
upon country where, because the ex-
plorers had never found 1t. all his
ancient and mildewed jokes were
brand new to the inhabitants
There, surrounded by audiences OF
people who had never heard even the
oldest and lamest of his wheezes, he
told his tales to thunders of applause.
He speedily became the most popular
man in that queer land, and presently
welded the beautiful princess, who
had not only never heard anything
worth hearing, but had also never
seen anything worth looking at. He
dwells there today. thoroughly appre
ciated and enjoying all the emolu
ments that come to him who achieves
success of which he is truly worthy.
His story is here given, in the hope
that 1t may encourage others of his
sort to emigrate instead of going on
the Chautauqua platform.

affair, people whispered Anyway,
Madge, accustomed to the somewhat
simple society of the little place, was
at first fattered and then interested
by the doctors attentions.

said Doctor Forman, one hot summer
day, when the two stood together
in the garden. And | shall try with
a dual motive-my desire to heal,
and my desire to please you.
Madge was very much touched. She
turned and looked at the doctor, and
she saw the goodness on his face.
Her look told him that his love was
answered.
"Madge," he said, taking her by the
hands, "afterward-afterw may l
dare to hope?"
Yes" the girl whispered, and, turn
ing, ran into the house.
Three days later Elsie was operated
on and-cured. The operation was
simpler than the doctor had dared to
hope. II was merely splint of frac-
tured bone that pressed against the
spinal cord. But the function of the
nerves had to be established and the
limbs and their muscles accustomed

months before Elsie could walk with

The Doctors
Dilemma
By ADELA GRAY

When Doctor FormGn said he
thought Elsie Clavering could be cured
by a simple operation Elsie looked
at him with the usefulness always
to be seen il the eyes of the cripple,
mingled with the incredulity of one
who had never known what it was to
walk without crutches. The spinal in
Jury, at seven, had left her a helpless
invalid for eleven years. Fortunately
the Clavering girls-Elsie and Madge
were comparatively well-to-do. After
their parents died they had lived with
various relatives, but year before
Madge, on reaching her majority, in
sisted on returning to the old house in
town, where they had resided ever
since.
Doctor Forman must have been
nearly fifty. He had an air of distinc-
ton, and people learned that he had
been attached to the famous hospital
on the heights in the metropolis until
his health broke down under the
strain of work He had bought house
in town and announced that he meant
to spend the rest of his life there.
There was some opposition at first
on the part of the local doctors, es-
pecially as the newcomer won a good
many of their patients away from
them. But in a few months Doctor
Forman had conquered the town. Even
his rivals united in praising him
People began to say that Forman' s
visits to the Clavering house were not
solely on Elsie's account. Madge,
who loved her sister dearly, was easily
the belle of the town. The doctor had
