DEEP SNOW HARDENS1
 WORK 0f DOCTORS
New England Physician Maintains
 Calling Highest Tradition .

North Adams. Mass. Feb, sT,--iH
 this winter Of heavy snoss in New
 England the country doctor has heen
 subjected to unusual hardships. With
 hill reads blocked by drifts for days.
 and sometimes weeks at a time, he
 has had 10 resort to many exnedients
 to reach patients in isolated farm
 houses. The use of snowshoes has
 been common. and one physician had
 built a special ski.runner equipment
 for his motor ear.
 One Of the outstanding feats of
 perseverance in the face of diffieulty
 and danger was that Of Dr. John If,
 Riley, the oldest physician in this city. The January snowfall in North
 Adams was se inches. and in the out
 lying towns among the Berkshire
 mountains the wind swept the snow into huge drifts. Early one evening when . blizzard was raging Dr. Riley was notified that a little girl was ap- parently dying from pneumonia in a farmhouse on the side of Florida mountain. 4 boy who had managed to work his way down over the half broken ont roads in an automobile brought tho word.
 Dr. Riley immediately started out with the hoy in the car. 4 high wind was blowing and when they reached an exposed point on the main high way. the snow had drifted so badly thnt the car stalled. The physician. carrying his medicine case. started on foot up the mountain toward the farmhouse. several miles distant. On his way he met two mon walking | down. They urged him to turn back. | declaring that he could not get through the storm alive. He refused.
 After he had gone some distance the boy. who had succeeded in get ting the car started again. overlook him. They were able 10 drive to a schoolhousc a mile and half from the farm where the gir,s was lying III. There they ran into drifts that stopped all further progress. The highway to the farmhouse from this point was hidden under snow many feet deep and Dr. Riley, familiar with lhe region. struck into wood road where the forest provided some pro- .ection from the gale.
 Plodding along slowly he suddenly 'ound he had missed the trail, and {, brought up against a barbed wire ence. He followed the line of the ence for some distance, but could lot relocate the wood road. He was , Ilmost exhausted and was on the ' 'oint of discarding his overcoat to { Ighten his burden, when he saw the l, lght of swinging lantern. He , houted, but the sound of his voice : vas drowned by the wind. He ' tumbled toward the light and finally : anne up with the bearer of the lan- 1. ern. young woman of the sick . hild's family.
 After Dr. Riley had done all he ould for the sick girl he borrowed r ry clothing, walked down the trail . , the schoolhouse, and came back r , North Adams with the boy in the !, utomobile. He had been at home i, ut few minutes when another call :, lme for him. A woman was dying 7, e started out without hesitation and r as able to make this trip in his IT. When he got back long after n idnight he was nearly worn out from 1, Is experiences. but the next day he ., as attending to his calls as usual. se
