several patients waiting for the din;
of potions. pills and powders.

him out. Then we had supper. , Before
the meal was over'the telephone rang

‘ Before he could mums his supper a
patient rang the office hell. My doctor
was engaged for n hour. When he re
joined me on the piazza the more was at
the door.
"More cans?" I asked.
“Yes." of course: I always spend the
evening on the mud."
We are gone until it o'clock. The
roads we traversal. the darkness of the
woods. the dreary barking of watch dogs
are to me like an unpleasant dream.
We returned to the otiice tired and worn.
The doctor looked 1min, and I supposed
of course that he would go at once to
bed. What was my astonishment to see
him place upon his dealt a number of

"Is not your day‘s work dome?" I
asked. .
He smiled hopelessly. ”Just begun,
my boy. if I didn’t Work now the re-
lult of the last twenty-four hours would
amount to nothing in dollars and cents."
Then he spent half an hour in making
notes for his day’s labor. I watched him
with an emotion that was almost rev~
sruutial. Here, if anywhere. was it man.
Snbduing all inclinations toward friv-
ollty or oven healthy recreation, he goes
on his way day after day. applying as
skillfully as he can the scientific knowl-
edge in his group.
For him there is no night. no Sunday,
no vacation; always fighting death he
gives up his life to the conflict. And
what does he find? Testy patients. ig-
