A young lad. the son Of a promi-
ncnt Texas business man, had Just
been operated upon in the St Paul
Sanitarium ut Dallas. The surgeons
had done their work and the patient
still deeply under the influence OF
the anaesthetic, was carried back 70
his room. The father Of the lad with
the old family physician had brought
the boy TO the sanitarium the day be-
fore from an East Texas town. The
case was especially n desperate one,
made doubly so by the trip and the
unavoidable delay. The mother was
left ut home on advice Of the physi-
clan.
The father followed the old doctor
out of the room where his son lay al
most lifeless Taking the doctor by
the hand and looking him straight in
the eyes he said; Now. Frank. no

friendship entities me to get truth

the case was allowed TO progress to
the present desperate condition. You
know how ! love that boy and you
know what his death will mean TO his
mother. But | must know the truth.
Will my boy live?",
The old doctor hesitated NOM
ent and said.
Bill, your boy has one chance and
one only. The surgeons thinks It
slender one. | do not. Under ordi-
nary circumstances your boy would
not live forty-eight hours. But, do
not tremble so old friend, feel sure
the one chance will pull your boy
through. Here is his chance, Bill:

and his mothers family for more
than fifty years. know the blood
that flows in your boys veins and
there is not drop stained by dissi-
patton on either side for generations.
Your boy will have hard, hard fight,
you may despair many times, but IN
the opinion of the old family doctor
that knows all about you, he Will win
the fight. And he will win. Bill, be
cause you and yours have seen NJ TO
live right
The father said afterwards that
what the old doctor told him tat day
as he listened 10 the heavy breathing
and means of his son in the next
room, paid him the greatest dividend
he had ever received in his life. The
boy is now healthy youngster in
