he wanted TO flavor his impatience by
counting landmarks.
The diner was half filed when he
arrived for breakfast, and the train
was still standing in the yards. As
the conductor wished him a perfume

obliquely.
"Not unless you make up some speed
between here and Syracuse" he said.
"Not much chance of that" said the
conductor, punching the order slip.
"It's deep snow from here on, sir.

CHAPTER XIV.

As Dr. Durant. having already given
counsel this morning 10 seven patients,
appeared st the door OF the ante,room
20 signal 10 the eight, he was pal.
pably astonished at the presence OF
the young man who sat next 20 the
door. The Doctor was very human;
the Doctor was very adaptable: but for
thirty years he had managed 20 keep
the social and professional phases OF
his life entirely apart. and at the very
hrst glance he was aware that Hi
Hard hadn't come 10 cohsult with him
professionally. Nevertheless. he raised
his finger in the usual sign: Hllliard
followed him 10 the inner room.
II was HIlliard's introduction 20 the
Doctors morning manner; and even
in his own exalted spirit. he yielded
slightly 10 the restraint In the at
mosphere The Doctor was bland. smil-
ing. approachhble. and yet not at all
the same man as he appeared az the
house on James street. He seemed de-
tnched from the hampering llttleness
of a household; there was no air Of In
territorial repose about him. Hilliard.
In spite OF the importance OF his mis-
sion. felt apologetic; he felt as though
he were unwittingly robblng science
OF its most valuable asset. which is

was saving out for you, he authorized
me TO make you an offer. I'm acting
a check here, and II you want to en-
dorse that receipt over TO him, you can
have this" He presented the bankers
check; the Doctor stared; II was pay
able 10 himself, signed by Embree,
and written for fifteen thousand dol
lars.
"Why, Hilliardl" he said, blankly.
"Is that good business7 For Embree?
What's behind thisr
Hilliard fairly beamed his delight.

The Doctors expression altered
slightly; his chin sankA little, and he
sighed, almost in regret.
"That hardly seems fair" he said
slowly. THAT hardly seems fair" He
smiled fitfully, and sighed again. "For

What Next?

The stu" ban put stop, for the
time being, to all church services,
picture shows, public gatherings, and
even the ''socials'' held daily in the
local post Office lobby. so resort must
be had to some other forms of enter
tainment to satisfy the cravings of
our spirited citizens. Various things
have been suggested along this line,
but for real excitement and entertain
ment we are compelled to take off our
hats to a tragedy on Friday last, in
the backyard of one of our most prom
inent aud highly respected citizens,
wherein two games of the feathery
flock gave free exhibition lasting
from early morn until late in the day,
with the exception of few "wind-
ings, when hostilities finally ceased
by one of the combatants being CON-
pletely vanquished. The victor fed
the scene at once, and 'off1cials' who
trailed him were unable to locate him
until Saturday forenoon, when he re-
turned to "face the music" On &C.
count of the terrible punishment he
had suffered. and it being evident
that it takes two to "quarrel, the
victor was fully exonerated and dis.
charged.
The remains of the vanquisheC
were partially cremated, and final dis
position was made on Sunday. with
due ceremony, in the dining room o.
the aforesaid prominent citizen.
This is a good starter to break thu
monotony during the existence of thu
'hu" ban, but we must have diver
sion, so what next?
