Out about three miles from this plaoe he started to obange bis position in the baggy seat and just as he moved a sharp pain shot through bis back like a knife was being plunged into the flesh. It caused him t«' faint. His team, a trusty one, kept moving and he began to revive as they came into town, keeping on np to the Wiokersham feed yard where they turned in, and the men seeing his condition, lifted him oat of the rig into the office. He was entirely helpless and almost stiff from the disease and cold. Dr. Didfake was called and as soon as they could move him he was tauen to his present quarters.
