 "But that is nonsense. he said with sudden sternness. There is nothing to be frightened about, and even if there were you cannot 20 through with this alone. Mrs. Gra- ham, may I ask you tell Mrs Durkee's son of this visit. and ask him to drop in 10 see me-say---to- morrow--if it is convenient for him to do SO? That will save you the necessity of coming in again"--he turned hack to my little friend with so charming smile that her patent :. resentment at his taking things out Of her hands promptly vanished Dr. FoAham Makes An Appointment

But as he aised his head I detected something II his eyes which was neither for nal nor professional, the compassion yhch they had held when she so alantly had asked him if he ad- ised an operation.
