For many years Doctor Eustachy
had been the leading physician Of Per-
tuis, a town in the south of France.
His professional reputation was so
high that he often was summoned to
distant places, and many people won
dered why he persisted In hiding his
light under bushel, by dwelling in a
country village; but the doctor held
that IT is better to be first in Per-
tuis than second In Paris.
Personally he was not exactly popu-
lar, because of his temper, over which
he had poor control. Small things ex-
asperated him to an unseemly de-
gree, and when he was warm under
the collar it took him 9 long time to
cool down. So it happened that when
Doctor Tournatoire arrived in Pertuis,
announcing that he had come to stay,
and was prepared to furnish pills in
any quantity, many of the leading citi-
zens, who were tired Of Doc Eus-
tachy's tantrums, gave the young man
the glad hand.
Tournatoire had been graduated
from the best Of medical schools, he
was highly recommended, and he soon
demonstrated that his skill was great.
His manners were most engaging, and
he had comforting way with patients
that was quite as effective as his medi-
cine. He became popular at once,
