Il LOVE YOU, MARY"

James Acheson lived in Division
Street. Just beyond the point where
the elevated railroad turns north on
Allen Street, darkening that narrow
thoroughfare SO as to make it notori-
ously shadowy and an invitation to
dirt and crime, Division Street energies
from the steel superstructure and the
heavy pillars of the railroad, begins
again to look like highway of New
York, again to receive some of Gods
sunlight. There James dwelt in an
old-fashioned, clean tenement.
He was old and i'll when first saw
him. But he was handsome. His hair
was wavy, somewhat long and of
lustrous gray. His frame was sturdy,
his voice pleasant, and his manner
and bearing, despite the heart dis
ease which made him suffer, were
those of man of polite demeanor.
He could not lie in bed, for the
softening and enlargement of the heart
caused him to strange when he tried
to lie down. Thus stricken, he was
compelled to stay day and night in a
chair. But he did not grumble. He
looked upon the sickness as, one of
the visitations Of God, necessary in
mortal life. A fine old North of Ireland
Presbyterian, he had decided views
about salvation But these he did not
present in controversial or unpleasant
way. He referred to them only when
stating his view towards the illness,
which he realized was to be his last.
He was calm, pleasant-mannered and,
resigned to suffer.
Always, with eager eyes James fol
lowed Mary, his wife, when she moved
about the room. He expressed regret
that he was ill and required attention
So far as possible, he stroye to help
himself His courage and determi-
nation were such that he was able to
do for himself what most men, strick-
en- like him, would have sought or re-
quired assistance in doing. He dis
liked to inconvenience her
But Mary, the wife, was vastly diff
ferent from James. She thought of
herself first and last. She regarded
the illness Of James as most unbear-
able trial to her. When sat by his
side she stoodi'hehind his chair and

long James might live. When | said
the time was short, less than couple
of weeks, she said with sadness:

asked.
Mrs. Fitz looked annoyed. HE

maybe he took drink, but never saw
in this house. Everyone in the house
would do anything for him. But for
her"
That day when | entered the sick
mans room, found man of my own
age sitting there. He greeted me
pleasantly, and introduced himself as
the employer of James. When l had
ended my, visit, the man accompanied
me to the street. There he spoke, to
ask if anything could be done to re-
store James to health. [ answered
that, it was unfortunate, but true
that nothing could be done by mortal
means James was soon to die. The
man shook his head sadly. Again he
inquired if anything might be tried to
ameliorate the condition of the sick
man. Would trained nurse help?
Would removal to a private hospital
be useful? Could James endure a
journey to better climate?
l admitted that, perhaps, removal to
a hospital, where the sick man would
not be subject to the incessant con-
planning of his nagging wife, would
benefit the patient, but | thought

The employer walked along with me
and told me that anything | could
name or suggest to relieve the sick
man would be cheerfully paid for by
him, the speaker. When | said it was
unusual to find so great consideration
for an employee, the gentleman stood
still for moment, and then said
Doctor, let me tell you about this
man, James Acheson."
And as we walked, he told me how
James came to work for the speakers

of Acheson in America. A faithful
workman, never late, never complain
