 "Ill soon get you paid up, doctor" he announced gratefully, "and I'm go- ing to send you lot of new patients. l won't ever forget what you've done for me. Pm a grateful man and true friend to you, and I intend to advertise you far and wide"

 You have done great thing for me-" observed Blair warmly This neat, speedy machine means a dignity and opulence 1 never expected to attain"
 Don't forget what l owe to you, doctor" exulted Greg, and the grate- ful light in his honest eyes advised Dr. Blair that he had the' ardent homage and liking of true man.
