Rhcde Islands Last Hanuinu

The last execution in Rhode Island
took place in 1S45. One John Gordon
was hanged for the murder of Amasa
Sprague on December 81, 1S43. The
doubts we're so strong that a move.
ment was set on foot to abolish cap
ital punishment. Thomas R. Hazard
(Shepherd Tom) was the leader in
this movement. His labors and writ
ing were finally successful, and on Feb
ruary II, 1852, the general assembly
passed the act abolishing hanging in
this state. On several occasions since,
notably a few years ago, u%nsuccess-
full attempts have been made to re-
establish hanging for The crime Of
murder. But the sentiment of Rhode
Island is strongly against it.-Newarf

The Doc tor's
Sacrifice
By
GERALD RALPH AMOS
Copyright. 1915. by W. G. Chapman.)

Copyright. 1915. by W. q. Chapman.)
Everybody wondered when middle
aged Doctor Hicks, a widower with a
small son, became engaged to the rich
Miss Louise Soutar of the Manor. But
the story Of the breaking off Of their
engagement was less of a wonder and
more of a scandal. Some blamed the
Soutars and some the doctor, but all
were agreed that he was a fool to
let people know SO much about his
business.
The diphtheria epidemic in the vii
lage was not serious, but there were
more than a score of cases. Mrs.
Soutar's son Leonard, Louise's broth.
or, was one Of the first, and the doc
tors son Frank n Of the last. And
there wasn't any antitoxin. The state
board, which supplied 1t, had been
held up by some sort of crank injunc-
ton. However, antitoxin was not
considered necessary at first. The
cases were doing very well without 1t.
All except that of Leonard Soutar
and Frank Hicks. The doctor want
ed antitoxin badly. and he had Just
enough for n injection in his tube.
People got to know that. and that was
the doctors cardinal error.
Mrs. Soutar and her daughter were
panic-stricken over the possibility OF
Leonard's death. When the doctor an.
nounced that he intended to use the
remedy only as a last resource. for
whichever Of the two boys needed II
most, the situation became critical
At Leonard's bedside Mrs. Soutar
went down on her knees.
He's dying, doctor. My boys
dying" she sobbed. you must save
his life"
The doctor raised his head. my
son Is worse" he answered.
But you must save Leonard, I tel
you. He is all l have-my only SON.
cried the distracted woman.
MY boy is my only child" an
swered Hicks. 1T is a matter of sim
pie medical duty. I shall give the an

He could forgive the loss OF his son
better than that of his case" said
the villagers.
For two years Hicks and the wom-
en- only bowed when they passed.
Then Mrs. Soutar fell i'll Of the incur
able disease that was to result in her
death. Hicks again became a con
slant visitor at the home, but strictly
in his professional capacity. The Sou
tars were the last of the old families
of the town; their lives were exceed
ingly lonely and exceedingly quiet. All
their old associates were dead, except
the doctor, who had come to the place
in youth, thirty years before, and ever
then the old traditions had largely
ceased, and the stories Of the lives Of
the first settlers had been forgotten.
His friendship with the Soutars had
come about through a sister of Mrs.
Soutar, a maiden lady, who had been
a constant visitor at his home when
his wife lived. But she had died al
most at the same time as Mrs. Hicks,
and no link remained between The
families.
A few nights before her death the
old woman called the doctor to her
bedside. BrokenlJ she told him that
she had no one else in whom to cor.
fide. Then she told him her story.
1t concerned her dead sister. Years
before, in girlhood, she had suffered
a great wrong. She had gone away;
her child, a boy, had been born in q
remote place and left in the founding
hospital there. Afterward she had
him removed to a town nearer,
where, in the guise Of al interested
visitor, she could see him occasional
ly. But the boy had been adopted,
and, in accordance with the rules of
the institution, she was refused all
information rs to his whereabouts.
Il want you to find my sisters boy
and care for him, DOCTOR" she said.
There is q little money-a private
hoard, devoted to this purpose. And
nobody must know. Even in death l
shrink from the shame that would
follow her"
Hicks promised, and the dying WON.
an closed her eyes in peace. She
passed away a few days later, happy
in Hicks assurance that he had al.
ready traced the child.
1t was the day after the funeral
that Louise lent for the doctor and
told him the identical story.
Il eve knew" she said, until the
night before my mothers death. She
was rambling, then, but I picked up
enough of the story to understand,
and to realize your chivalrous nature
in accepting the quest. But, when the
child is found, 1t must be my task to
provide for him. He may have grown
up an uncouth, illiterate man. That
task must be mine"
The doctor laid his hand on hsr
shoulder.
Il want to tell you first" he said,
that ! have not faltered in my faith
to you. l love you, as l have always
loved you. Will you be my wife, Lou,
ise?"
She looked at him earnestly. -
love you,' she said. But the shadow
Of your boys death must ever lie be
tween US. l cannot marry you"
IT I should show you that this lies
at nobody's door but mine-?" he
asked.
You cannot. If It had not been for
us, Frank would have lived"
The doctor placed his hands upon
her arms and held her firmly.
Listen. Louise" he said. "Franl
was that boy-adopted by my wife
and me to shield the dead woman
from discovery, and to enable her tc
meet him. never had a child"
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-10-01

titoxin to the one who is most in need
OF it."
He went away. At home, his own
boy was in the critical stage of the
disease. Gossip had it that he was
dying. Hardly had he entered his
door before the telephones got busy.
Mrs. Soutar heard that Frank Hicks
was to receive the drug.
She left the nurse at her sons bed
side and hurried with her daughter to
the doctors house. The two women
entered without ceremony and found
Robert Hicks at his sons bedside.
The boy al de~lirious. Upon a table
beside him stood a little phial contain.
ing some clear, water-like fluid. The
doctor had a hypodermic syringe in
his hand. Mrs. Soutar grasped him
by the wrist.
Tell him, Louise!" she gasped.
TELL him!"
III you dare-if you dare, Robert"
sobbed Louise, FOUR engagement is
broken"
THAT makes no difference" an
swered the doctor gravely. This boy
is more in need of it than the other.
That is all I can see."
He dipped the hypodermic into his
phial, and the mother, darting for
ward, knocked both phial and hypo-
dermic from the table, sending them
rolling into a orner The phial
cracked and emptied its contents upon
the floor.
AT least, If you won't save my son,
your own shall die" cried Mrs. Sou
tar in fury. Come L0uise!"
The two women swept out of the
room, out OF the house, and home, to
find that Leonard was better.
By nightfall he was out Of danger
At the same hour Frank Hicks lay
dead in his fathers house.
There was no other doctor in the
village. Doctor Hicks continued to
attend the Soutar boy until he was
convalesccnt. Then he ceased to
come. He sent his bill in the regular
way, but he was never seen at the
Soutar home again. The gossips said
however, that there had been a pain
full scene before he left for the last
time, and that Hicks had refused the
women's pitiful plea for forgiveness
