'
Elihu-deems LITTLE DAUGHTER.
Where faraway the two long tracks
= Seem running into one,
‘3 I watch, and watch for father’s train,
At setting of the sun.
I seem a giant as I stand,
My shadow at my side;
.The engine just a tiny dot,
Upon the prairie wide.
But, oh, it grows. and grows, and grows
Into a monster high,
Flying a silver banner out,
Against the eastern sky.
My father ’tis the engine drives,
He looks out sharp for me,
And whistles by the willow trees.
To let me know 'tls be.
He takes me on the engine tall,
“ I ride while it goes slow.
Backing about from track to track.
Taking on freight, you know.
I love my father very much.
And when he kisses me,
I .never mind that he is black.
And leaves the black on me.
When I go home mymother dear
Speaks soft and sweet to me,
And kisses me—l wonder why—
Just where. .the black _spots be.

The Doctor’s .First Case. :3

By Fred-F. Foster. é
‘ , nouon f‘a prophet isnot’ without

.able to any and every vocation, Frank
—Woods0n, having completed ‘ his
' 1“‘course”.at'a' medical college, displayed
his ”shingle” in Canfield village, where
he was born and had .always had a
home, where no physician hadever been
located.
N As he sat alone in his office—a small
and meagerly equipped apartment—
.quite late one dismal August evening.
wondering when his professional serv-
ices would be called into requisition, a
young man entered his presence and
exclaimed:
‘ “Col. Barnes is thought to be dying,
and you are wanted in his-home as soon
as you can get there.” i
'The young doctor hastened into the
presence. of him who was to be his first
patient, whom he found lying on a
couch—near which his only child, a
~motherless daughter, was sitting and
chafing his temples. He was in an un-
conscious condition, his heart beating
'feebly, his lips as livid as those of a
corpse, his skin clammy.
During his medical course Dr. Wood-
l
l
son had been especially interested in ,
toxicology, and immediately diagnosed
the case as one of alkaloid poisoning.
He administered an emetic, subcutane- ’
ously, which acted at once, restoring
his patient to consciousness, though he ~
Was too weak to utter a word or even
move a hand. _
“Do you know anything concerning
the medicines which he has been tak- ;
lug ?”he inq uired, addressing the daugh-
ten.
“For two days he has been improving. .. . '
a
so :rapidly that; Dr. Howe deemed it ad-
visable for him to take no medicine, but
occasionally to take a little wine as a
stimulant.”
“How did this attack come on 1’?’
“An hour or so ago he , expressed a
desire for some wine, and I got it for
him. Soon after he remarked that he
was terribly sleepy and, lying down
upon the couch, soon became uncon-
sclous. I feared that some heart trouble
had attacked him which might prove
fatal and sent for you.” ‘ .
“I should like to see the glass from
which he took the wine.” .
“He seldom took more than two
swallows of it at a time, and drank it
from the bottle in which it came to
' him.”
“Let me see the bottle, if you please."
“It is the one without a label on the
stand near which you are.”
Just as he had taken it into his hand
Dr. Howe entered the room, and soon
had been informed relative to the con-
dition in which Col. Barnes had been
'found by the inexperienced practitioner
and the “treatment,” causing him to
nervously exclaim:
“It is incomprehensible to me why
such symptoms should have manifested
themselves, but you undoubtedly saved
his life.”
A few moments later Dr. Woodson
said:
“I should like to confer with you pri-
vately," addressing Dr. Howe.
"Then I will leave the room," Miss
, Barnes observed, and presently the two
physicians were by themselves.
“What do you think of the case?” Dr.
Woodson asked.
“As I said before, it is incomprehensi-
ble tome,” was the reply.
“It is not to me.”
“Isn’t?” fell from Dr. Howe’s lips in a
tone of amazement.
“In my opinion he was deliberately
poisoned, with intent to kill."
“Whatl” ejaculated Dr. Howe, in a
more amazed tone than had been his

brucine. This poisonoussubstance fig-
before.
“Had you left with him any medicine
which, even in an overdose, would pro.
duce symptoms such as were his?”
' “I had not.”
“Do you think that, within his reach,
he had any alkaloid poison?"
“I do not."
“Do you see the tiny specks on the
inside of this vessel ?” inquired Dr.
Woodson, holding up the bottle in which
was the wine.
O‘Ye-S-n _
f‘The w-ine itself would not generate
. them?” ‘ , , '
“It would not.”
“My theory is that the wine was doc-
tored, and if you have no objection to
- my doing so, I am going to analyze
' ‘.'what..wiii’p"r,emains in the bottle and
536m themed of poison may" - ~ .
' “I sinlneapable of performing such
an dialysis and shall be glad to have
you do it. But—I cannot comprehend
why anyone should desire Col. Barnes
death.” , , - ,

“We will investigate that later on, if
my opinion proves to have been cor-
rect.” '
The» fourth evening afterward Dr.
Woodson was seated in hisoi‘fice con-
versing with a middle-aged man, when
a fine-looking and neatly-attired man
put in an appearance, saying:
“I came here. as soon as possible after
receiving your note-requesting me to do
so. Frank." smilingly adding: “Pleam
excuse me for thus familiarly address—
ing you.‘ but it’is more natural to do so
than to address you as ‘doctor.’ ”
“That is all right, William." was the
response. “Have a seat.” '
The newcomer. William Smith, ex-
changed a “Good evening” with the
other man, and then sat down.-
“During Col. Barnes’ recent illness
you assisted considerably in caring Lr
him. did you not ?" the doctor presently
inquired, addressing Mr. Smith.
. “I did." was the reply; and the speak-
er’s face slightly crimsoned, probably
because he was the colonel’s prospective
son-in-law. ' .
“You know the extremely critical
condition in which he wa-stwhen I was
“I do,” was the tremulous response.
' “A qualitative analysis of the wine
revealed an alkaloid init knowu as
ures so slightly inmateria .medica that
it is procurable‘ at scarcely‘ihny drug
store save a wholesale concern, and I
Wondered where and by'whom it could
have been obtained. '
“At- length,’.’ the doctor centinued, “it
flashed into-my mind that you, whose
vocation is that of head clerk in a drug
store, would know where to obtain 'it,
and could easily place it in the wine
without being suspected. though I could
conceive no motive that would induce
you to do such a thing. - -
"The next day after completing my
analysis. I casually learned that you
had been engaged in disastrous specula-
tions. and it at once suggested itself to
me that the brucine might, in some
way, be connected therewith; indeed
that—” ‘
The doctor hesitated, and Smith said:
“That I administered the poison to
Col. Barnes.”
“Had n’t I reason for so thinking?”
“And you invited me here that Mr.
Fox might arrest me?”
“It grieved me to pursue such a
course against an old friend, but I
wished to make no publicity of the af-
fair if you could explain away the cir-
cumstantial evidence of your guilt.”
“In order to pay my margins, I, famil-
iar with Co]. Barnes’ chirography, by

his name, secured $1,000, hoping and be-
my crime becoming known,” Smith be-
gan. -
“The more I pondered upon the mat-
ter, the more fearful I was that my
crime would find me out,” he continued.
“To prevent this, I attempted a more
heinous one, having no fear that the
latter would be detected because, as
you have intimated, brucine and its ef-
fects are unknown to most physicians.
I intended, but fbrgot to take care of
the bottle into which I put the poison
and expected the colonel’s death would
be attributed to natural causes. I cal-
culated incorrectly, but I am prepared
for the emergency in which I find my—
self. Please let her know nothing about-
the affair.”
As he uttered these 'last words he
drew a vial from his pocket. placed it to
his lips, fell from his seat—a corpse.
The vial had contained prussic acid.
For his services in behalf of Col.
Barnes, Dr. Woodson was by him.lib-
erally rewarded. Only to the persons
above specified—not including Miss
Barnes, who was nearly crazed by the
untimely death of her afiianced—have
the facts of the case hitherto been
known.
Miss Barnes gradually recovered from
the effects upon her system of the
shock, and. fully realizing her indebted-
ness to the doctor for saving her fa-
ther’s life, began to entertain for him a
warmer regard than had been hers,
though she had ever held him in high
esteem from the time when they had
romped together as children.
The colonel was more than'willing to
intrust his daughter’s fut-urewelfare to
the doctor’s keeping, and a happier cou-
ple than Dr. Woodson and his wife it.
