For an instant Andrew was blinded by the pain, then he planted a MVSge blow upon the colt's nose. The OOtt dropped the arm and it fell to Andrew's side, where it knag, limp and bei nies.-,.

lie knew that he must have a doctor, bat his neaiaat neighbor was half a mile away, and Andrew shrank from letting the neighbors know that his wife and children had left him. He could not harness a horse with one hand, then- was nothing left for him but to walk to the village, two miles distant. Dr. Hudson was his eoosifl and Andrew felt that he would understand and sympathize with bin. ' lie s got Katch enough in him to know what it is; I'll go right to him." Andrew resolved. He managed to adjust a sling to support his arm, then threw an overcoat about his shoulders and started on foot

to see the doctor. It was growing dark, Hit? air was full of drifting snow and as Andrew

plodded steadily on the pain in his arm grew Store and more sickening, until, when he reached the doctor's, he had just strength enough left to stumble into the house and sink into a chair. What now, Andrew?" asked lbs doctor, Andrew motioned toward his arm and told, faintly, how it had happened. A brief examination showed the doctor what was to be done. "Bone Is pretty badly crushed. I ii have to pnt your arm in I pbaatsr cast, and you must be put to bed. Mary'll have a lino time waiting upon rou,"

the doctor added, sarcastically. "Mar Mary, and the children have left me," stammered Andrew.

The doctor w as making preparations to set the broken arm, and did not anSWer immediately, at last he said: ' So Mary has left you, has she? I've woodered, g'd many tlaacs. bow ,-be ntaaaged to sadare life with you. You ve given her a pretty hard ruuBlag, Andrew " It's the Ktih temper that's to

And I've usually mt i that WhefS the Ketch temper goes the Ketch will and resolution go with it, and it's better to exercise them than the temper." Nothing was said while the doctor swiftly and skillfully set the arm and encased it in plaster bandages. If be felt an Rvmnevthv for his temnery old
