A DOCTOR'S STORY By W1LLARD BLAKEMAN When 1 first sot rny shingle as a physician I was told by the older practitioners to look out for traps set for me by lawbreakers, for it Is the inexperienced doctor who is called upon to aid them, they knowing very well that an old bird is not to be caught with chaff. I had not been practicing long before I was asked one day to call at a certain address. I found a stately man- 'sion standing by itself.

I was admitted by an elderly gentleman, whose dress and appearance was In keeping with the premises. He led me into a reception room and said to me: "Doctor, you have come some distance and at the call of one unknown lo you. Under the circumstances 1 do not think it fair to you to ask you to treat a patient without handing you yonr fee In advance, and that fee should be liberal." Stepping to a little mahogany desk, be wrote a check and handed it to me. It was for $50. By this time it began to dawn upon me that I had struck one of those cases against which I had been warned.

But I took the check and put it In my pocket. It might get me into trouble, but it might be valuable as evidence. The gentleman led me upstairs to a room where a man was holding a young woman down on a lounge. She was to free herself from him and hysterical. As soon as she saw me she became more so than ever.

"Vital Activities in Christian Endeavor," was the subject of an inspiring address made by Rev. E. M. Gearhart, pastor of the Lutheran church, of town.

The report of State Secretary H. B. Macory was a review of the substantial growth of Christian Endeavor work throughout Pennsylvania during the last year. Six new county couple are well known. The young The bride is lent that he feared she would injure herself and desired that I give her some soothing remedy.

I took a small vial from iuy modi- cine case, dropped some of its contents In glass of water and, ap- eel. preaching the youug lady, told her to drink it. She looked up at me with a frightened glance and almost slirlcketl: "Don't poison me! I'll do anything If you won't poison me!" Now, I am a believer In physical Indications, and 1 consider myself an adept at interpreting them. If I sec- two persons together whom I clou'I know and have never seen before I can tell if they are of the same blood. 1 can also toll by a person's eye whether fie or she is insane.

I looked Into tin; young- lady's eye and saw no evidence of insanity whatever. Another matter Influenced handsome fee I hud received In advance. "Don't fear me," I snicl to her in a reassuring voice. "I am a physicinn, and this is a simple soothing draft to quiet nerves." She looked at uie scarchingly and anxiously, evidently having felt confident that I had been brought in to poison her. "I don't need anything to soothe me," she Siiid, "if they'll only let me go.

They took me from my home and brought me here in a carriage. They are-going to shut me up for a lunatic." "Blink It," I said, holding the glass to her lips. "It won't hurt you anil do you good." I told her with my eyes what I had spoken with my voice, and she took the dose. It was really a help to her in restoring her equanimity and lessening the advantage her If they were over her. Reav- injf her, I went to a window and, taking- ont a prescription slip, wrote something on it.

Then, casting my eyes up at the ceiling as if in thought, I crumpled the paper in my fist and taking another slip wrote the prescription lor bread pills, which I handed to the gentleman who had me in charge and never took his eyes off me for a moment. Then I went again to the yamrg lady and felt her pulse. day," I said, taking her hand in mule. "Don't fear to take the medicine 1 have prescribed for you." In the palm of my hand was the prescription slip 1 had crumpled, and 1 left it in her pulra, she closing her band on it. What 1 hail written was; understand the situation.

Leave all to me. Do what they compel you to da without struggling." From her I turned to my conductor, to whom I said that he need not give her the medicine prescribed unless she became violent and if she became very violent Mr-fore he could remove her to send for me. Ho seemed satisfied with this and fontident that I had either been deceived or the fifty dollar check had stilled any suspicions 1 might have. I left the house and, going to a store- near by, telephoned my chum, Charlie Knowlton, who had gone into law when I went into medicine, to come to me at once. For half an hour I watched the house I had been in till Charlie came, then told him the story, and in naif an hour more he had detectives on toe watch.

Charlie rushed off to take legal means to free the young ludy and succeeded, though I never quite understood how he managed it. He told nie, using a lot of Latin luna- ttco Inquirendo," "habeas corpus" and all I knew nothing of what he meant. Tbe case was one of those which happen now and then wherein claim- ante to an estate attempt to get rid of at. tegal heir by claiming him or her to toe of unsound mind and unable to manage property. Charlie made a fortune by the operation, for he married the heiress, while poor devil, even returned the cheek I fead received for my fee.

I'll take a new hold, never minding the drop, and make a bee line again straight for the top. Had An Exciting Experience With a Charged Telephone Wire.
