E By H. M. EGBERT 8
(Copyright, 1515, by W. O. Chapman.) i
When Aunt Sally, the black servant,
admitted a tiny boy into Doctor ,
Carter's office, the old physician at
first saw nobody. Then, looking down,
he saw the dark hair and sunny eyes <
of his own wayward boy, Harold, as
he had been at six, and as he always j
would be in his memory. For of Har
old Carter at twenty he never eonaent*
ed to think.
"Hello! What's your name, sonny?"
he asked.
"Harold, please, grandfather!"
"What!" cried the doctor, Jumping
out of his chair.
He had destined his son for his own
profession, but folly had succeeded
folly, and at last there had been a
scene at the end of which the doctor
ordered his son from his presence,
never to enter it again. Harold had
complied?twelve years ago.
Perhaps if his wife had been living
the old man's heart would have yielded
in the end. Indeed, it had softened,
and often and often he had deplored
the loss of his onl> child. But his professional
cares absorbed all his time
and left him little for mourning. He
was the best loved doctor in a southern
city, and the most sought after.
Now and again, at Intervals of years,
he had had news of Harold. He knew
that, after roaming in the West, he
had returned to dwell in an obscure
part of the same town. He had heard
that he had a position with a manufacturing
company and was atoning
for the wildness of his early years.
But the old man was too proud to seek
him, and his son was a replica of the
father.
Now he looked down with an emotion
which left him speechless at the
little boy who claimed his name and,
approaching, slipped his hand confld- (
lngly Into his. ,
"Well, who sent you here?" Doctor i
Carter demanded. ]
"Nobody. I corned," answered the ]
little fellow, climbing upon the doe- i

a g'anfather," he continued, "and
mother said everybody knowed where
Doctor Carter lived, only she wouldn't ,
let me come till father was sick, and {
then I?I runned away. And please
come quick, because father's mighty
sick," he ended, with quaint earnestness.
Doctor Carter looked down at the
little boy; then he removed him from
his knee.
"Come along, Harold," he said, putting
on his hat and going into the
garage, where his high-power automobile
stood waiting in readiness by
light and day. Doctor Carter never
knew when he would be summoned.
"What is the matter with your father?"
he inquired, as he drove the
aehine through the suburban streets.
It was Ave in the afternoon, and he
made a detour to avoid the shopping
crowds. It was only afterward that it
occurred to him that he took his main
direction from the child by telepathy,
though the boy guided him along the
last street and up to the cottage door.
"Is this your father's house?" asked
the doctor.
"Yes, g'anfather," answered the
child. But it was not The young
woman who hurried frantically along
the street at that moment spied the
boy and, snatching him from the automobile,
held him to her breast and
covered his face with kisses before
she turned to thank the gentleman
who had. as she supposed, brought
him home
"Mr, Carter and 1 have a room on
the top floor," she said, looking at the
doctor dubiously. The resemblance
to some photograph that she had seen
seemed to strike her
i "I am Doctor Carter, madam," said
the old man gravely. "And you are, I
presume, my daughter-in-law."
It was a beautiful face that looked
into his. the eyes swam with tears and
the roiee vu tremulous. "Oh, sir, 1
do hope jou don't think I sen^-seat
Harold?" she began.
"To see me? No, I haven't dared
hope that," answered the doctor. 1
hare simply come to see a patient"
Silently the girl opened the house
ioor and the doctor ascended tht
stairs until he came to the room tn
which his son was lying, racked with
fever and delirious, upon a bed.
"He must be moved at once," said
the doctor. "I am going to take him
away to the hospital in my automobile."
It was all he could nerve himself to
do to utter the words, for a son, even
though lost for years, is still a son?
at least, to most of us.
Wrapped in rugs the patient wan
transferred to the automobile, which
made its way at a slow pace into the
suburban district where the doctor
lived.
The story that Mildred told was a
painful one. For years her husband
bad been working for the company;be
had started at the bottom and waa
lust getting a fair salary when he waa
attacked by a mysterious disease^
After a month's absence he had lost
his position; that was two montha
ago, and the disease, which no doctor
:ould diagnose, had made inroads upon
his system until his life seemed about
ended.
"But this isn't the way to the hoa>
pital!" she exclaimed, as the machine
turned into a pretty lane and stopped
before a comfortable-looking house.
"It is my house?my private hospital,"
answered the doctor.
And half an hour later Harold waa
eomfortable in bed and feebly coeicious.
He looked up and recognised the
face of his father. Now, according to
ill rules of literature, father and son
3ught to have fallen Into each other's
irmi. But, oddly enough, the moment
lis son recognized him the doctor felt
the old pride tie his tongue and re?
itrain the hands that were so anxious
to enfold the young man's.
"You told me never to let you see
me again," said Harold weakly, "and
[ tried to keep my promise."
"You are here as a patient, Mr. Carter,"
answered the doctor. "You owe
tne no gratitude; it Is my duty to heal
prlth ail the means In my power."
The young man averted his face. He,
too, had pride.
Nevertheless, In the days that followed
the doctor found It difficult to
Bonceal the love that came into his
heart Mildred was just the little
daughter-in-law that he had always
pictured to himself. And little Harold,
blissfully unconscious of anything hut
loving kindness, was creeping into his
heart daily more and more until it
The doctor came up to him. "W?H*.v
Carter, It was touch and go more thaa
once?but he will live now," he said.
"Live!" In an instant the old man
had caught up little Harold upon his
shoulder. And, as the child crooned
Joyfully, and Mildred wept tears of
happiness, he knew that he, too, was
just beginning to live.
Words and War.
"You Americans are always talking
about dollars and cents," said the vis*
itoi from abroad.
"Yes," replied Miss Cayenne; "we
do talk a great deal about them. But
we try to draw the line at fighting ' <
over them."

let him go.
And, despite his years of practice,
the doctor was unable to diagnose his
son's disease until the famous physician
for whom he had sent to New
York came down and saw him.
It was a very rare disease, hardly
known in America, and, until recently.
Incurable. There was a remedy now;
It consisted in an extremely difficult
operation. Only five cases were on
record where the operation had been
performed; three had died, two had
recovered completely.
Mildred, standing dry-eyed beside
the famous physician, listened to hie
explanation. Doctor Carter turned to
her.
"My dear," he said softly?he had
never called her that before?"the decision
rests with you."
"Operate," said Mildred firmly.
And an hour later the house waa
filled with the fumes of the anesthetic.

at the last moment to assist He had
sent instead for an anesthetist from
the city hospital.
Little Harold, dimly conscious that
some terrible issue was at stake, clang
to his mother, whimpering, in the doctor's
ojSce. Doctor Carter paced to
and fro distractedly. An hour had
passed since the operation began, and
still the house was filled with those
nauseating fumes. At last he entered
the room softly. The operating physician
looked at him and shook his
head.
Doctor Carter, very grave, very
white, went slowly downstairs and
shut himself in a little room. He knew
what that look meant, he who had
seen it so often in the hospitals. His
son's chances of recovery were hopeless.
In that moment the remnants of
his pride fell from him like a tattered
garment. He went out into the office
again.
"Mildred," he said, "if Harold lives Iwant
him to come back to me. I want
you all to be my children. I want my
son to?to forgive."
Nobody knew the effort it cost him
to utter that last word. Mildred looked
at him speechlessly, J*he understood
the meaning of his words.
Suddenly there was a fresh drift of
ether fumes through the house as the
door upstairs was opened. Carterr
heard the operating doctor come down
the stairs. With one arm supporttaff
Mildred he braced himself to bear the.
now? he feared.
