He bad meant to go where there was nei ther pain nor sorrow, If such an Eden existed, and he had come to Marion. For one tiling, it was not on a railroad; for another, ils diminutive size pre cluded the idea that the clanking chains of business life were about it. It was just n lazy little hamlet—a church, a general store, a score of straggling white houses with green blinds, and that was all. Here the surgeon meant to bury him self for his precious four weeks’ out ing. He could have gone to Europe as the guest of a millionaire had he said the word. He knew he needed Marion instead. The great surgeon had been sadly overworked. All through the summer months he had promised himself that he would stop and rest. It was late in September before be finally started. He felt that ids iron nerves were giv ing way, and one September morning be notieivl that the marvelous steadi ness of his good rigid hand was im paired. lie knew then that he had enough. He went away with all the precau tions of a defaulter. He left no ad dress. He desired no mail, no tele grams, to follow him. For a month he meant to drop his professional exist ence. He picked out his destination at haphazard from the big map on his of fice wall. He was influenced, as has been said, by the fact that the little village was off the line of travel. He bought his ticket for a point beyond the railway town that was Marion’s nearest connection and then doubled hack. “And now.” he said, as he alighted, valise in hand, from the mail stage that brought him over, “here's an end to the surgeon shop. For a month I'm somebody else, somebody who knows no more of struggling with human ail ments than he does of throttling Thra cian gladiators.” He hadn’t even brought a profession al card with him. A half hour later lie was comfortably lodged in the upper front room of the Widow Gilette’s oozy cottage, with a wonderful view of smiling hillsides and tinted woods and blue and white sky from its extremely clean windows. He had told the widow that his name was Thomas Brown and that he was a worn out traveling man who had come to Marion for rest and quiet. Where was he from? From Bracevllle, and he named the railway town to which he had purchased his ticket when he ran away from the big city. “Much sickness in Bracevllle?” In quired the widow. The surgeon shuddered. "I don’t know,” he said shortly and. taking his hat. went out for a stroll. As he passed down the maple bowered highway beyond the row of houses, kicking the red and gold drifts of leaves as he faintly remembered doing when he was a hoy in that faraway Iowa village, he noticed a lame man ap proaching. The man walked with a crutch, one of his legs being bent stlllly at the knee. He was a cheery faced old man in a faded blue blouse with brass huttoiMJ. “Mornin, squire,” he said, with true rural affability. “A fine morning,” said the great sur geon, resolutely looking away from the stiffened knee. “Not from my rheumatism’s p’lnt of view,” chuckled the old man. “Rheumatism, eh?” said the surgeon. “I thought It might have been a gun shot wound.” The lame man had halt ed. and the surgeon felt that he was called upon to say something. “No, sir,” said the lame man, with much emphasis. “I went thro’ th’ war without a scratch. Got into 17 pitched battles an came out ag'in sound as a dollar. Unde Sam don’t owe me nothin. No, sir. Mornin,” and he sturdily plodded along. The sngeon smiled at the old man's vehemence. Then, as he looked back at his pain cramped figure, he sighed. Somehow the sunshine didn’t seem quite so bright. He walked long enough to wiu a good uppi iuc, however, unu when ne ictuiu- ed to the widow's cottage found an appetizing cold luncheon awaiting him, with a trim little rosy cheeked lass to serve it. ’1 he widow bustled in present ly with voluble excuses for her ah- seuee. She hud run over to Ezra ratcheu’s, her right hand neighbors, to carry a glass of quince Jelly to young Joe 1’atcben, Just back from the I’hllipp'ncs. “I’oor hoy,” said the widow; “ho’s nothing but parched skin na aching hones. Got one o’ those swamp fe vers fastened on him, an If he pulls through tue winter it’ll t/e a blessed wonder.” The surgeon pushed back his plate. His appetite had suddenly failed. He went up to his cozy bedroom and dropped Into a big cushioned rocker. • “The man's a fool who thinks he can run away from human suffering,” he muttered bitterly. Then the tidy bed, with Its immacu late coverings, wooed his tired hones, and a minute or two later he was eu- joying the first afternoou nap he had taken for many years. He awoke toward dusk feeling rather ashamed of his long sleep. And yet only a few hours later he found he was quite ready for the all night nap. He was sleeping soundly at 8 j’clock when the widow called him. He arose with a start, glancing first at his watch and then at himself in the bureau glass. He looked ten years younger. “Sleep is knitting up the raveled sleeve of care for you all right, old fellow,” he said. Then he quite astonished himself by having an appetite for breakfast, and after breakfast lie walked forth again. He remembered the old soldier, how ever, and went the other way. As he passed the last cottage in this new direction a young woman came through the gate. She was accompa nied by a weazened little boy, who clung tightly to her hand. He was a cripple. One of his shoulders dropped, and his head bent over it. His legs were spindly and weak, and be shuf fled along with the appearance of a de crepit old man. The great surgeon frowned and hur ried forward. Just as he was about to pass the pair tin* girl turned and look ed back. She was a comely young wo man of perhaps six and twenty, with clear, honest eyes and pretty nut brown hair and a singularly gentle ex pression. When the surgeon came back from his long stroll along the ridge, the young woman and the boy were seated on a low stone wall half way up the hill. As the surgeon passed, the little fellow, whose head rested comfortably against the girl’s arm, laughed shrilly over some story his companion was reading aloud from a book in her lap. The surgeon thought of tlKit picture a good many times during the day. He saw it again the next day and the next. The boy's misfortune worried him. His lingers twitched to examine into his ailment, lie felt that the lad could he helped. He tried to crowd this feeling aside, lie told himself that he was an idiot f<: let sentiment bother him in such a ridiculous fashion. “But you always were a fool about children,” ho growled to his reflection in the bedroom glass. On the fourth day he spoke to the girl. She and the little cripple were sit ting on the low stone wall where they j usually rested on the way up the hill. | “Pleasant afternoon,” said the sur- ! goon, its he lifted Ids hat. The girl looked up. She saw before her a tall i man. a little stooped, a little gray, a j liulo careworn. She gravely bowed, j She took no offense at his tineeremoni- j ous speech. The niceties of social usage are not so strictly observed in the | country. "I am interested. In your lit tle companion,” the surgeon went on. He might have added that he was also Interested in the dark eyed, self pos sessed young woman. "He has been a great sufferer,” said the girl, “but he is a very good and very patient boy.” The surgeon sat down on the wall by the lad and lifted him on to his knee. He did it so quickly, so deftly, so gen tly. that the girl looked up at the kind ly face in surprise. She saw the large white hand of the stranger pass softly but firmly across the twisted shoulder and iidown the weakened spine. She saw a frown replace the kindly smile. “How long ago was he hurt?” “Three years,” said the girl. “He is 11 now. It was a runaway. He and our mother were thrown from the wagon, and she was killed.” The girl paused and turned her head away. “What treatment did he have?” “The best we could secure—a doctor from Bridgcvilie.” The stranger’s frown deepened. “It was botch work," he said, almost harshly. "The boy should never have been like this.” The girl turned quickly. “Then you are a surgeon?” she said, with a wondering flash in her dark eyes. The straftger faintly smiled. “Murder will out,” ho said. “I didn’t mean to hear that title for a solid month of forgetfulness. But never mind. I intend to sec this matter through. Come, I must examine the boy more at my leisure.” His eyes sparkled as he arose with the slight figure of the child in his arms, and together they passed dowu the hill. “If you are a surgeon,” said the girl after a little hesitation, "perhaps you will he kind enough to give me some advice on a subject that—that deeply interests me. It is my ambition to be come a hospital nurse. I feel tliqt I am called to the work. 1 have had a lit tle experience in nursing here in Mar ion, and when they had a typhoid epi demic In Milburn they sent for me tc come over. But what I need is a chance in some eity hospital.” Sh* paused and looked appealingly In hts eyes. “It Is painful and disagreeable work.” he sai.1. “Yes, 1 know," she quickly cried. “I have thought of all that. I own sev eral books on nursing and medical practice and know quite well what to expect. 1 would have started out for myself months ago If It hadn’t been for Artie there. He needs constant care, and, while my stepmother—my father died last winter—Is very kind to him, I did not think it right to put nil this burden on her shoulders. But the desire to go grows stronger and stron ger every day.” The stranger’s eyes sparkled again at her eagerness. “It looks to me now,” he said quite gravely, “ns if there would soon be a chance to prove your capabilities. 1 you come out of the ordeal in a satis factory manner, I think I can safely promise you a berth in the big hospital with which 1 chance to have some con- uectlon.” "Oh, thank you, sir!” she cried. “And what Is the ordeal?” The stranger looked dowu at the face of the crippled lad. “The little chap Is asleep," he softly said. ''With your permission I mean to straighten this tortured back and thto ugly should**. 1 nera * oodu the mischief wrought by well meaning ig norance. I mean that this little fellow shall walk through life as straight and upright as God intended he should.” The girl’s eyes dilated. “And you will do tlds?” she mur mured in an awed tone. “With your permission and a certain amount of your assistance,” the stran ger smilingly said. “My assistance!” she repeated. “Yes. I have no acquaintances here, and 1 will need some help. Do you think you have the nerve to stand by me V” “I will try," she simply answered. Three days later a square, leather covered box of considerable size was brought over ou the stage from the nearest railway station. The surgeon sat iq* late that night examining and arranging its contents. Then he went to bed and slept like a healthy child. The first thing he did when he arose in the morning was to stretch out his long, white hands and stare at them. “Steady as the eternal rocks,” he said, with a pleased smile. Two hours later he made his appear ance at the door of the little cottage, valise in hand, where the dark eyed girl eagerly awaited him. “Artie awoke in capital spirits,” she whispered, “and my stepmother has gone to spend the day at a neighbor's, and everything that you ordered is ready.” “Good,” he said, with an admiring glance at her eager face and trim, alert figure. Then he went in and closed the outer door. When it was all over, the dark eyed girl walked with the great surgeon to the gate. She was very pale, and there were tears in her eye's. "Those wonderful, wonderful hands,” she^murmured. “So swift, so steady, so sure!” He smiled down at her like a pleased boy. “I make it a practice never to (latter my assistants,” he said, "hut 1 will say to you confidentially that the hospital berth is yours whenever you choose to call for it.” He stopped her thanks with a quick gesture as he went on a little more gravely. "It cerlAinly was a beautiful operation, and we may both feel proud of it. Our plastered ami harnessed and jacketed little pa tient ought to be on tin* highway to Then you London in 17W4. In 1784 M. La Combe published a book entitled "A Picture of London,” In which, Inter alia, he says: “The high roads GO or 40 miles round London are tilled with armed highwaymen and footpads.’! This was then pretty true, though the expression “filled” Is some what of an exaggeration. The med ical student of 40 or GO years ago seems to have been anticipated In 1784, for M. La Combe tells us that “the brass knockers of doors, which cost from 12 shillings to 13 shillings, are stolen at night if the maid forgets to unscrew them”—a precaution which scerjis to have gone out of fashion. M. La Combe in another part of his book, exclaims: “How are you changed, Londoners! Your women are become bold, Imperious and expensive. Bank rupts and beggars, ?ointrs, f.plcs and informers, robbers and pickpockets abound.

Senator Beveridge made a flying trip to Indianapolis recently to see Mrs. Beveridge, who is quite ill at the Hotel Denison, says the Lexington (Ky.) Leader. Meanwhile an American Dis trict messenger boy discovered a vein of superstition in the senator’s dispo sition. One of them was sent to his rooms iu answer to a call, but when Beveridge saw that the fatal number 13 was pinned to his cap he was sum marily dismissed. “I don’t want you!” shouted the sen ator. "You have an unlucky number!” The lad returned to the otlice and re ported, and a less fatal number was substituted. • i* ’w recovery in a month's tim can safely leave him. Meanwhile you will have to put up with a daily call from the surgeon in charge.” A cloud crossed the girl’s face. “But the—the bill for your services, sir,” she murmured. “How are we to pay that?” ”1 admire your frankness, my dear,” laughed the surgeon. “But chase that troubled look from your eyes. When I came to Marion. I dropped the shop. I haven’t even a blank billhead among u:y effects. Besides this, I took the case for my own selfish amusement. Oh, I can afford these little eccentrici ties. I'd have paid you for it sooner than have missed it. Goodby!” And the great surgeon walked briskly down the road quite unconscious that a pair of worshiping eyes followed him un til a swift rush of grateful tears blur red him from their sight. i Three weeks later, as he sat in the iv-purior ear that was rapidly bearing I him back to the great eity, he smiliug- j ly muttered to himself: ! “I quite failed to carry out my vaca tion programme.

Yet this happened a short time ago to a well known business man of Kansas City, whose office is not far from the corner of Tenth ami Walnut streets. Thirty years ago the business man and his brother were living in St. Louis. They were young men and were struggling industriously to gain a footing in the eouiuioreial world. Tin* business man loaned his brother .$33 to buy clothing imd received as an evi dence of the debt a note for 833. The note was laid aside and in (lie busy years that followed was forgotten. The brothers separated. The one who lent the money eame to Kansas City and prospered. The other hrotlfw remain ed in St. Louis, and fortune, too. smiled upon him. He is now viee president and general manager of one of the lar gest trust companies in New York eity and has a big private fortune. Some time ago the Kansas City brother was asked to hunt tip some old family papers and bring them to his brother in St. Louis. He ransjieked chests, trunks and drawers and found them. At the bottom of an itnused trunk he discovered an old red pocket- book. Inside was the $33 note given 30 years before. The paper was diseol on d by age. the writing was faded but was still legible. The existence of. the note had been for/otten by both brothers. When the Kansas City man j went to St. Louis with the family pa j pers. he took the note with him. After | a pleasant chat with his brother he i said to him laughingly: "f’harlie, why don't you pay your ' debts?” “What do you mean. Walter?" “Well, here's a note you gave me 30 years ago. and you haven’t paid either i principal or Interest." The brother loo!; the little pieee of ; paper and looked at it i.i a perplexed manner for a few moments. Then he i laughed and said: “It had slipped my memory. You I gave me that money to buy clothes. ' I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll pay that note right now and pay you l.ooo for ! 1.” Hi* turned to his desk and wrote out a cheek for $33,000 and handed it to the astounded Kansas City man. His protests were In vain. He was forced to accept the money, and he marked the note paid.—Kansas City | Star. Wear Don fhrekr.
