%HAD been west taking a convalescsat ? patient to his bon?? and was re turning to New Ycrl: when a case fell imex pectecly into my bands. The Pull: .;i"; conductor startled us carly ove morning by calling out io know if there was a physician in eke car. _ There was no response, so without hesitation I .cffercd my services. He tock me at cece, into the stateroom and intro duced mo to a worried-looking young r^an. There was nc need to ask his trouble. On the couch to^.:ed a little girl of five or six years, her cheeks ?and eyes bright with fever. ? had a few simple remedios with ?sae, but the child showed rather alarming symptoms of an aggravated ?Old. Deciding to take no risk. I sent ?ai telegram ahead, and when we reach ed Chicago a physician with neces sary medicines came aboard and ac cord pr::.;rd us to Buffalo. Dorothy escaped all of the maladies "aita tyhich she was threatened and "ky the timo wo roached New York ?was very much better. However, Mr. Singleton; her father, retained ma. and tho throe cf us went to a fash ionable hot ]. The littl girl con- i tfrmed to improve. taxi the spontaneous gayety of childhood xas !: . kins.

One day we had been out all of the afternoon. Dorothy had selected twenty d'ills, and in retrospect I view ed my own meager childhood and fended what such a glorious after aeon would have meant to me, but the child appeared even more listless tjban usual. Feeling rather anxious. I look hr-r temperature, gave her some stimulating nourishment and asked Her io get into my lap while I read to h fr. Dorothy had the beautiful old-young manners in which the little children cf the rich are drilled, and always treated me with careful consideration sip? politeness, regardless of ber own .tfiSh'^s. Obediently she climbed into siy lop. put her head agninst my shoulder, end I began to read aloud a wonderful Christmas tale. We are aM of us children at Chric'mas and I found enjoyment in the story. Dor othy was very quiet, and as I turned a pare I looked down to see if she had^ lallen asleep. To my consternation' ^je wide blue eyes were brimming with tears, fast overflowing and run ling down the child's white cheeks. As I dropped the book and clasped aer closely in my arms she gave way .to convulsive sobs. Mr. Single ton came in. The opening of -the door roused Dor othy, and, see ing her father, she stretched eager arms to him and cried out: "Father, dear, I don't want a PI child tree, want for mas."' in her I just mother Christ father's I placed the arms and left the room. An hour jjassed and then Mr. Singleton rapped *n my dcor. He told me the story. Mrs. Singleton was not dead, as I lad sur posed: she was in Paris, and it the separation of which he tola me was caused by fault of hers he did not wo auch as hint at it. Mr. Singleton cabled at once to Earrs. There would just be timo. Christmas Evo came and still no "word, and though Mr. Singleton's face looked ihin and strained, he started ?ul with Dorothy at noon, telling her *b.oy were going to have a grand and gortons time that afternoon. I was left to attend to the last de tails of the tree that stood in glittering liravery in the center of the sitting roora. There was a lot to do. and I was bustling around when the door flew open and a radiant young worn AS. rashed in, calling: "Dan! Dorothy!" Stopping quickly, her look arrested "by my uniform, she exclaimed: "He abe-oh, who is ill?" She faltered, go ittg white. My smiling assurance that all was .woil brought forth a thousand ques tions, and we both talked at once, aad I helped her off with her wraps. She cried in my arms and Mseed me with fervor when I told her cf how Dorothy had begged for her, and then she bubbled over and we had a. gi>y afternoon finishing the tree. Mrs. Singleton was on the steplad der laughing down at me when Doro thy and her father came in. The laugh ?hei* on her lipo, but I caught his glori fied look and heard Dorothy's glad cry. Then I crept silently from the room, feeling the loneliness of spinsterhood as I had never thought to do. DR. J. S. BYRD, Dental Surgeon OFFICE OVER POSTOFf ICE. Residence 'Phone 17-R. Office 3. i-.
