(Copyright. 1S1I, Western Nenrspapvr Union.; I received my degree of M. 1). on the j 2f?tU of Jiiiii' ami on the 2(?th sturted for a town In the West, intending he- i for?? fettling ilown to practice to put | in a couple of months' recreation. T ! q fell in with a party of tourists, one of them being Miss Julia McGregor. When she discovered that I was a sawbones. there arose a bond of sympathy between us. for she was n daughter of one of the most eminent surgoons in America, and a leclurer in a i a medical college. ! c Preferring the company of these i a people, especially Miss McGregor, to j j, traveling alone, I clung to them. Where i ^ they went I went. We visited the Yel- > t lowstone park and other regions of in- i ^ forest and when my outing was ended ' r I pronounced it the most delightful I ! a had ever experienced. j And well I might, for I had been; t falling in love with Miss McGregor. > t and she had reciprocated. It was the middle of September g when, having been referred by her to ,, her father, I went to ask him for the i . hand of his daughter. She rounded v up her outing hy n visit to friends in t Chicago. but hnd written lier father ( that 1 would rail upon him at the fnm-j ily home, which was in a suburban , town near the city of Philadelphia. r Having hoarded the train that was t to take me to my destination, the car being nenrly filled. I took a sent hy nn elderly gentleman who was reading his evening newspaper. But h" laid it ^ en his lap soon after the train started and gazed out of the window. I ad- ( flresM'd him. asking him how far tnv f station was from the eity. 1T<> 1n r:' d me v ry eourteously. and told ' me li" lived 1 -re. Then T told him 1 vv r oing 'o eall lrpnn Pn.'!np Me- ' ' . and mked hi:;t how I could find the doctor's r-'-idence. lie told ' no I.i* lct."\v Macilregor very v . M and gave me the necessary direction". \\"tiilo conversing Willi the gentleman T told hint that T was a newly made M. D. I said I thought that 1 had an advantage over older doctors in that I had learned the latest diseov- r erles in medicine. My auditor listened to me attentive- ! ly, occasionally asking me my opinion c as to the merits of antitoxins for va- j ' rious diseases that were well known; * to the Inylty and I answered him in. ' such language as would he understood c hy a layman, carefully avoiding modi- * cnl terms. Whenever I was obliged to. t use scientific nomenclature he did not ? ask me to define the word used, nor jdid he at any time show u want of i comprehension. ^ Before our Journey was half ended t he hnd asked me a number of these t questions that I could not nnswer, and f finally said that he did not see from | t iny replies that the doctors Jnst grnd uated knew any more than those who j had been long In practice, and he did: ( not think that doctors knew much. t anyway, whether young or old. I was , angered at this, nnd retorted that j whether or no doctors were ignorant f of their profession, they knew more than the laity. "Do you look upon your fellow citizen. Doctor MacOregor. as an Ignoramus?** I added. "What he knows," was the reply, 1 "Is as a grnln of sand to a whole sea- \ coast to what he doesn't know." At this point the trainman cnlfed our ' station and we left the car together. 1 The gentleman cooled my wnith by In- ^ vitlng mo to ride with him In his mo- * torcar to the home of my father-in-law In prospect, and I accepted his lnvl- ' tation. We entered a beautlfnl car ' which was In waiting, and were driven 1 away by a uniformed chauffeur. My 1 companion telling him to stop at a i certain house by the way. On reach Ing this house, the former pointed to * a handsome place not far distant as I Doctor MacGrcgor's, saying the doctor usually came up on the train we had t traveled on and If he was not at home i lie would be very soon. ( The maid who answered my sum- ; mens at Doctor MacGregor's said that , she expected the doctor very soon nnd, I sat down to wait for him. In n few i ) minutes who should enter the room i , but my companion on mv trio from . the city. I was stoppered. Why should he be f there? lie approached me with an ainttsed hut kindly smile, saying: "Well, my l">y. I'm sorry to have an | perm! jmi, hut it Is tile only reveupe I could inllict up< a a man who is about to rah me of the greatest treasure J possess." | "You?you are Doctor MncGregor?" i y I pnsped. "I am. I took occasion. Incognito, to t draw you out on various subjects. ^ Now you may put your best foot forward. and make yourself appear the marvel my daughter has describee! .. * you. "Heavens!" I exclaimed. "I thought ' I had passed my medical examination last June. I didn't know that 1 was under the rack when you were questioning me." "You doubtless acquitted jours 'f better this afternoon than on praduat- ) In r, not knnw'n ' you were la iiig exam mod." The dnotor Mid I dined together. awl when I departed I had his consent to an enjiatfoii ion r with his daughter. ' Since then I have become convinced ' that what doctors know is "as a (train J of sand to a whole sencoast" to what j .hoy don'* know. ; 1 Hut this Is so in every departuicut of j deuce. 1 ' i GASH UNO WOT 1 PL?)!
