CHAPTER VI.

The ancient bromide to the effect
that man proposes but God disposes
was never better exemplified than in
the case Of John Stuart Webster, who,
having formulated certain daring
plans for the morrow and surrendered
himself to grateful slumber in his
stateroom aboard the Gulf States Lin
tied, awoke on that momentous morn
20 distinct apprehension that oil was
not as It should be with him. His
mouth reminded him vaguely Of
bird-and-animal store, and riot and in
surrection had broken out in the
geometric center Of his internal
economy.
Webster was SUFFICIENT Of a jack-leg
doctor to suspect he was developing
a splendid little case Of ptomaine
poisoning. He decided to 60 into ex-
ecutive session with the sleeping-car
conductor, who wired ahead for doc
tor to meet the train at the next sta
ton. And when the sawbones came
and paved Jack Webster over, he
gravely announced that II the patient
had the slightest ambition to vote at
the next presidential election, he
should leave the train at st. Louis and
enter hospital forthwith. To this
heart-breaking program Webster en-
