HlHE family doctor comes in for his
i share OF abuse from the public rather
conspicuously these days OF specializa-
tion. and, though he may deserve much
OF the criticism heaped upon him, assur-
edly he does not deserve It all.
Unfortunately, the average patient ex-
poets the family physician to divine much
that the specialist learns through many
routine laboratory tests. Somehow a pa
uent Is willing TO have any sort of exam
ination or test the specialist suggests, re-
gardless of expense; not so when the
family doctor requires such help. Unless
the latter can satisfy the patient that the
test Is likely TO disclose important facts
bearing upon the diagnosis and treatment
of the condition. II Is scarcely taetful to
request the patient to have the test made.
We have cited instances In this column;
any family physician could quote similar
instances.
Some one asked us recently to define
an "internist" II was a difficult query
to answer. An internist is a general prac-
titioner Of medicine who can and does
persuade all or his patients to undergo
whatever scientific tests or examinations
he may deem helpful in the diagnosis
Of the case. Often enough the internist.
with the aid OF his corps Of laboratory
workers and special assistants. hits upon
a diagnosis which has naturally baffled
the family doctor. In that event the In
ternist Is hailed as a great physician.
Had the family doctors been permitted to
put the sans patient to the expense nee
essary for such tests as the internist
deemed indispensable-well. II this were
the rule OF practice, We don't think there
would be any internists.
Specialism In medicine Is q great bless
ing. But at the same time the modern
fashion OF running around to this and
that specialist Is doing harm. A good
family doctor. one worthy or q patients

CHAPTER XIII.
PROFESSOR McGILL.

BHOt BSSOH MCC}llsls
DED GOLD CITY was ripe for a night
IN of relaxation. There had been SONS
gambling. few fights and enough liquor
to create excitement now and then, but
the presence of the mounted police had
served to keep things unusually tame
compared with events a few hundred
miles farther north, in the Dawson
country. The entertainment proposed by
Sandy McTrigger and Jan Harker met
with excited favor. The news spread for
20 miles about Red Gold City and there
had never been greater excitement In the
town than on the afternoon and night OF
the big fight. This was largely because
Kazan and the huge Dane had been
placed on exhibition, each dog in spe-
cla.lly made cage OF his own, and a fever
of betting begun. Three hundred men.
each of whom was paying Ave dollars to
see the battle, viewed the gladiators
through the bars of their cages.
Harker's dog was combination OF
Great Dane and mastlff, born in the north
and bred to the traces. Betting favored
him by the odds of two to one. Occasion
ally it ran three to one At these odds
there was ploay of Kazan money. Those
who were ris' ng their money on him
were the older wilderness men-men who
had spent their lives among dogs, and
who knew what the red CLINT in Kazan's
eyes meant. All hOOltIhy
spoke low in another's ear:
I'D bet on i'm even. I'd give odds IL
had to. He'll fight all around the Dane.
The Dane won't have no method"
But he's got the weight" said the
other obviously. Look at his jaws, an
his shoulders"
"An' his big feet, an his soft throat.
an the clumsy thickness of his belly" In
terrupted the Kootenay man. For Gawd's
sake, man, take my word for 1t. an don't
put your money on the Danev'
Others thrust themselves between them.
At first Kazan had snarled at all these
faces about him. But now he lay back
against the boarded side OF the cage and
eyed them sullenly from between his fore
paws.
The fight was to be pulled Off In Hark-
er's place, a combination of saloon and
cafe. The benches and tables had been
cleared out and in the centre of the one
big room cage 10 feet square rested on
n platform three and half feet from the
floor. Seats for the 800 spectators were
drawn closely around this. Suspended
just above the open top of the cage were
two big oil lamps with glass refectors.
1t was s o'clock when Harker. McTrig-
ger and two other men bore Kazan to
the arena by means of the wooden bars
that projected from the bottom OF his
cage. The big Dane was already in the

HONEST BOY GETS REWARD
Messenger, Who Found $4,000 in Dia-
monds, Is Showered With Gifts

The honesty of Frank Tabasso, 10 years
old. who found a tray of diamonds valued
at 5000 under radiator In the Wither-
spoon Building four months ago, was re-
warded today by the owners OF the dia-
monds, Kennedy az Brothers, 1O2 South
18th street, when the boy was presented
with gold watch and chain gold PEN
knife and a charm.
The boy, who was then a Western
Union messenger, saw the diamonds
under the radiator. where they had been
hidden by thief. VINO had smashed
window in daylight and snatched a tray.
The thief was forced to abandon them
because OF the pursuit of the police.
Nathan Heller, the man who stole the
diamonds. was sentenced to serve seven
years In the penitentiary last Friday, by
Judge Carr in the Quarter Sessions Court

on and off the Grasshoppers and do
ing all kinds of tricks, when, good
ness graciousl out from behind bush
came two big Roosters.
Such jumping and scrambling as
those Potato Bugs and Grasshoppers
did do! Away they went at top
speed, with the two Roosters chasing
them. Up hill and down hill they
went, jumping over water and stones.
Tommy was fairly dizzy watching
them.
Just as one big Rooster was about
to gobble up nice little mouthful of
a Potato Bug, Grasshopper jumped
right up in the Rooster's eye and
blinded him for a minute, and then
the little Potato Bug hurried under a
stone wall and the Rooster looked all
around, but could not find him. Just
then a white Butterfly flew into the
picture and led the Roosters a merry
chase away from the poor, tired little
Potato Bugs.
Then the two Roosters, the Grass
hoppers and the Potato Bugs came
and bowed TO the audience; for, you
see. they were really acting and were
quite good friends.
"My that was a nice show" said
Tommy, sleepily, as he climbed up in
the airship.
"I am afraid we win not have much
light going home" said Doctor Bee
tie, as he helped Lady Bug into the
airship. -
@We haven't any light now" said
Lady Bug. And, sure enough, they
hadn't, for little Tommy was fast
asleep.
