S ATU RD A Y.... ..SE PX EMBER 4,

EPISODE Itf A SURGEON'S LIFE concluded. After our business was over, and the coffin, of which I was now perfectly weary, again hoisted to its shelf, we drove homo, talking of indifferent matters, and went our sev eral ways. A country engagement prevented my seeing u tor a couple of days, and, indeed, not then; for on my return a message awaited me to call at one of the hotels. I went as soon as possible, so that I might get my work for the day quite over, and have a long rest. "Who is it w.anrs me?" I asked the " A lady, sir No. 15." And be showed me in. She certainly did not hurry herself, and I had plenty of time to look about me before any one appeared. At last a lady entered the room with, it appeared to me, some show of recognition, and her voice at least sounded familiar to my ears. She wa3 tall, and wa3 dressed in that mixture of black silk and black crape so becoming to tall women, her hair was black, just sprinkled with gray; her eyes were black, with brows and lashes to match; they were set too near the nose for perfect beauty; her other features were perfect, though the lipa were rather too thin; her comrdexion was dazzling white, or rather transparent, like French China. Just over the molar bone3 there was a soupcon Jof pink her hands long, lean, and white the same unnatural white. "Yoi don't remember me, Mr. Jones?" ' Indeed I have not that pleasure." " Ah. you doctors have so much to think about. Are you stronger than you were in the winter? " . " i " Thank yau, I am much better.""I'm so glad to hear it. You passed me to-day : in a carriage. Where were you going: To do some hcrrid opera :icn, I suppose." ."Not exactly." "You don t expose yourself to cold night air, as you used to do, I hope?" " No more than I can holp. Why?" "Oh, nothing; just something to say." That was quite evident; so I begad to look at my watch, which she noticed, and said: "You'll take tea with U3, won't you? My niece will be in, directly. She wasn't well, and lay down for a little. We have been traveling about a good deal lately. We were in Glasgow, and saw Madeline Smith's window. What a long arm L'Angelier must have had to reach it lor his chocolate!" , " Yes, poor fellow. What a fearful end his was!" "Are the traces of arsenic easily discovered?" " Very." , i "And antimony?" "And antimony; indeed, all metallic poisons are easily discovered.'' "Then, what are used which eo often baffle even the most expert chemists?" "Chiefly vegetable poisons what are called the vegetable alkaloids; in other words, the active principles of such drugs as strychnine, from nux vomica; but poisoners like Palmer, for instance, are convicted on symptoms characteristic of these poisons." Here an involuntary yawn interrupted the'progress of my lecture, but takiDg for granted that my patient was the young lady, I waited; the teatray was brought in, and my companion left the room ; she presently returned with a much youDger lady, about twenty-five apparently, dressed in bluish gray, a sort of half-mourning. She had a perfect face and figure, her eyes had an almost unearthly lustre, and her face was the same French china white as her aunt's. Her lips had not the full rosy color of women at her age, and she walked like one who had suffered a long illness; but her manner wis marked by viracity, as her counteBanco was by intelligence. But that glistening eye of hers would cot keep still; it wandered around the room moro like a wild bird's than a young lady's. I'll leave you two for a little," said the elder, and now I became more reconcilel to my detention. After givinar her a chance of beginning again, I said, " You don't look much like an invalid." "I am-not exactly an invalid, but my aunfScemed anxious for me to see a doctor." " Do you feel very weak?-' "Oh, bo so weak!" " Are you ever sick?" "Always sick." ' " Any pain in your limbs ?' " When 1 walk, such an aching!" These short answers evidently fa tigued her, and she asked for water. " Do3s it hurt you to swallow?" " No. only my throat is so hot." And so she went on to tell me how she Lad been losing strength for several months how her aunt had been so good to her; and, in answer to my questions, she said she had suffered much grief in the Winter, when a dear friend had died. "Where?" I asked. "Oh, here in this town, lie was traveling about, and he died in a hotel. lie had been traveling with them till within two or three days; but he was not well, bo he staid behind to rest, and died, and ." Here she stopped, for a rustle in the adjoining room told that a third person, that nuisance in all medical consultation?, was approaching; we changed the subject, the elder lady came in and made tea; I wrote a prescription and got up to go away, but was requested to step into tue next room and tell the elder lady what my opinion was. " It seems to me merely debility, and an irritable mucous membrane. She has been depressed in spirits; what have you given her?" " Nothina-," wa9 the answer. " Then I'll call the day after tomorrow and see how she get on with this." And I left; but the well known back of a "Churchill's Manual" caught my eye as I passed out. . "So you study Taylor's book," I said to her; " is not this rather ghastly reading for a lady?" - " Not I," sha answered quickly, " I suppose some predecessor of ours in this room must have forgotten it. Come and say good-night to Kate." 1 was very tired that night; there is ; nothing so. tiring as the work of a 4 medical man. Few of the eases which present themselves to him have any extraordinary interest and, inde:d, the anxiety which these involve ia scarcely compensated by the accomi panning lees or eclat. The most fatiguing part, however, is the constant endeavor to appear concerned about trivial ailments, and the striving to be on good terms with your fellow-prac-i titioner3, who you know detest you heartily. Yes, I was very tired as I : trudged down the hill to my solitary abode. I vainly tried to read, and at list flung myself on the sofa. I must have been asleep for several hoars, as it wa3 quite dark when I awoke, feeling as I never remembered feeliDg before. " What a fool I am," I thought " for sleeping on the sofa! Here I've I

got a sore throat and the rheumatism, and will bo useless to-morrow." Then I dozed off again, and as is often the case when tossing restlessly about seeking for sleep, I sat up and tried to read, and gave it up, looked over my book, wrote a few linos and lay., down again, oppressed by a feeling of weariness words cannot express. My thoughts would dwell, in a dreamy way, on my new patient. Where had I seen my aunt? how account for her odd manner, to me apparently so contradictory to her reserved manner; and could she have been reading in Taylor? Did she think I vras going to believe she had not read him? Did I Oh, what was that? that awful pain that shot through me and passed away in a minute. It took my breath away, and for some time I sat on the sofa and wiped the perspiratien from my

face. Again, again it came; my throat felt as if on fire, my eyes asif cayenne pepper had been dusted into them, and all accompanied by such fearful nausea as utterly deprived me of what is termed vulgarly " pluck." Death seemed to stare me in the face: I felt the seriousness of solitude in earnest then. 'The gray light of mornine came in at last, and found me lying more dead than alive on the carpet. with my head on the Bofa, but my pains were less severe. How I re joiced when I heard the carts going about the street, . and some move ments down stair told me that my trusty John was making his toilet, and would soon be up stairs. All my efforts to reach tho belligerents nad only ended in cramps and powerlessness. , , .; As soon as I could I sent John for Dr. O , who.wis quickly with me. He questioned ma as to what I had eaten, and we both concluded that during my country visit I had taken something to disagree with me. He administered some remedies, and kindly sat by my bedside for .a time and diverted my thoughts by conversation. "By-the way, Jones, if you are well enough, you ' must come around to my place to see some of that friend of yours tested. " What have you found? " ', What have we not found? arsenic and antimony in every organ of the body, especially antimony. How he could have lived an hour with bo much even in his blood, I can scarcely say, unless he took it little by little. By-the-way, have you got 'Taylor?' It you have, I want to look at it a moment." . .( "It's in the next room, ring the bell.". He rang, and John fetched the book, which reminded me of my patient at : Hotel, so John was sent up with an apology for my not being able to make the promised visit. On his return Dr. Q was gone, and I was glad to have even John to talk to, as my eyes were still too sore to read.; ' "I gave your message, sir, and to whom do you think? to the old one, and she . knew mo, she did, and she asked how you was, sir, and if you were better. Who told her you had been ill?" (I m3y here mention that doctors' , illnesses are always kept a secret); "Whom on earth do you mean, John?" ; . " The old one, sir, as mado me give up the piece mould la3t Winter in the cemetery." , Now,, the whole story flashed back upon me, and horrible doubts and terrors possessed me as I thought of my own escape, and the fair girl in that dreadful woman's power. I crawled out of bed as well as I could, and with John's help dressed and sent for a oab. We drove up to Hotel. The old lady was out, and my patient was in bed. The hotel servants knew and at once admitted me. Tho poor girl was lying back with her pale face bathed in perspiration, and her long hair lying in dark masses on the pillow. Her eyes were even more glistening and restless that on my last yisitNaad: occasionally an expression of ajjjy she strove in vain to conceal passed across her face. By her aide was a table, on which were a wine glass half full of what seemed pure water, and a saucer of currant jelly'"Oh, doctor," she said, "aunt thought you weren't coming. Your medicines are hero, 1 haven't begun them yet. Aunt left me this to take, but it always makes me so sick, I'm putting it off as long as possible. " Your aunt has no business to give any medicines ..which I have not ordered. Chambermaid, tell my servant to speak to me. John, take this note to its address as quick as you can." I pencilled: "DearG -: Come at onco with John, and bring the handiest thinar you've got for testing antimony and arsenic in solution. J." I calculated on having at least an hour to ourselve3 in the sitting-room before the aunt could return from the distant suburb she had gone to. In an incredibly short space of tima (j . wa3 sitting at her writing-table, while I, pretending the fidgetiness of an invalid, kept prowling about in search of drugs, taking an occasional anxious look at G , who was patiently examining the water in the wine-glass. - He had placed a few drops on a slip of glass, and was allowing it slowly to evaporate. Some more of it he poured into a test-tube, cautiously dropping into the latter dilute nitric acid; as he did so a white cloud appeared in the previously limpid fluid, which sank to tho bottom of the tube, lie continued to add the acid, and the fluid becaiaa as limpid as before. " What was that?" I asked. . "I'm not sure, but I think subnitrate of antimony," said the cautious man. "Let's try again. Give me that bottle of dilute tartaric acid. He now added some of the tartaric acid, and the precipitate disappeared. "Now lets try another while that glass dries," said he; and filling another tube, ho dropped in some terrocyanide of potassium. The fluid remained unchanged. "Now for the glass;" and he lifted the slip from which the water had evaporated, and left a thin coating of something which he examined carefully through a lens, and then handed to me. T could distinctly see the little tetrahedral crystals of tartar emetic. We had now seen enough to entitle U3 to obtain legal protection for the poor girl. G tried some more tests, and occasionally jotted down a few note?, when a silk dress rustled along the passage toward the bed room. Our door was ajar, but it Sassed, and wo heard her ask, "Dr. ones been here? Did you take your medicine? Where's the glass?" The bed room door then shut, and directly after, ours wa3 thrown wide open, and the cider lady had advanced several steps into the room before she observed us. She had not read " Taylor on Poisons" for nothing; her dance took it all in, from the spirit lamp to the bits of glass over which G was poring with a lenz. Bat her bloodless face betrayed no inward emotion as she bowed to each of U3, and said she would return in a moment. .. i . " Who is that?" said G . " That!" I croaked, through my still

sore throat ; " that's the aunt, and the ! eldest of the two laiic? I met r.t the ! cemetery." I had not finished when the rotten

bell-rope came down wita u s violent pull, and then we rushed along the passage, and I could hear him shouting to "stop that lady who's going out." I tried to follow, but sank back into my chair' from weakness. Lest tho invalid should be alarmed, I went into her room. She was shaking with terror, and begged me not to leave her. " Don't you like your aunt, then?" "Sho's not my aunt," said she, "but she told me to call her so. She was to travel with me, my gurdiacs said. She's always reading that dreadful book." Dr. G returned; the old experienced bird had fled, but detectives were seeking for her already, and descriptions of her were flashing along the wires. A good nurse was sent to my patient, who was for the future under our medical care. Of course, we communicated with her guardians, and very soon she was surrounded bj loving friends. The police, though unsuccessful in their search after the elder woman, took upon themselves to break open her boxes and writing-desk. In the latter they found a letter in a disguised hand-writing a letter that seemed a confession of betrayal, at the same time that it defied the person to whom it was addressed, and read as if she had threatened revenge. Experts declared the writing to be that of the murdered man ; and put ting all the dark facts together, we concluded that the poisoner had been actuated by jealousy and revenge. The man had been attracted by the fair young girl, and had thus roused the stormy passions of a cruel woman. : Bearing m mind the precarious condition of the invalid, those dark conjectures were never revealed to her. Indeed, the shock to myself was great, and it was mournful to see ray patient fading away. " How changed you arel " she said to me as we met ono day in the cemetery. . "And you; you ought not to be out." : "It makes no difference," was her answer, " except that I seem to suffer more indoors. And it can't last long; and " she continued "you know wa got him put there," pointing to the grave she had left. . ' They now rest together1. " Bury me beside him," were her last words.

The Mollie Norton had a fair trip in and was re ceiving liberally for her return.. Tho Clara Scott came in from Cairo, at 101 A. M., with a nice trip of freight and people. She went and came without wetting a spar or touching bottom, proving her not only the lightest but tho fastest low water packet that comes to this port.
