The
Grateful Taticnt.
lOriginal)
Dr. Sylvester Kordham, specialist, j
had passed the morning lu his consult
ing otftce llsteuiu.* to the complaints
of one patient after another until 1
o'clock, when, tired out and thinking
that he bad attended to the last appli
cant for treatment, be threw himself
! on a lounge for a few minutes' rest.
I There are doctors who have very little
aptltnde for the profession They ask
for symptoms, then whip cut pencil
and pa|>er and write a prescription, as
suring the patient at the same time
with a pleasant smile that ho will come
out all right. There are doctors who
pry Into every case, making a business
of diagnosing tne cause of the trouble
and doing their best !<> remedy it. The
1 tirst cure l>y encouragement and syiu
'? pathv. the second class by investiga
j tlou and skill, and consequently they
| are apt to be brusque iu manner. L>r.
j Ford ha in belonged to Ibis number. In
! deed, by some he was considered bru
! tal. Neverftieless such w as the contl
j deuce lu his surgical a ullty that he
j had far more patients than he wanted.
While taking his minute quantum or
rest be heard some one fumbling with
the kutib of the door leading to the
anteroom. The door opened, and there
stood the ghost of a man. looking nt
j him with great hungvy eyes a inav.
whose clothes denoted that he belong
ed to the working class.
"I don't want un medicine nor op
era I ion. doctor," sa itl the man In a
trembling voice. "Don't you know
me!"
"No."
"I'm the man yoti found In the hos
pital the day you were hurryin
through It. Yon stopped, felt over tne
found out my trouble, operated on me
and cur.'.l me. It was very good of
you, doctor, seein' 1 hadn't a red ?vnl."
"That's all bosh." sneered the doctor
"I haven't time to 1h> good. 1 remem
her you now. You're 'he man I op
erated on for stone."
? Yes, sir. and yon wade me well
again."
The patient a.-comp snied his words
with a grateful look. Instead of pleas
trig the doctor It seemed to irritate him.
"Suppose I did." he snarled. "Isn I
that uiy busluess. making people well;
"It may he little to you. doctor, but
It's a lot to the people you relieve from
sufferin*. besides puttin' 'em iu a li\
to do sonierlilu' again It's made a loi
of difTereuce to me"
"Oh. most of these people I treat nr.
able to pay me well. I work for inon
ey. the same as everybody eNe. That -
what we all work for."
"You didn't get much money from me
doctor."
'??>li. 1 had to tlx you up or there M
have beeu a bad story out about me.
Half of it's for pay. the other half to
avoid getting into a position to prevent
our making money, ft'- nil selfishness
at bottom."
??I don't know uothin' about that. 1 |
kuow you made me well
"Weil: Why. man. you're a shadow:"
"That's because I haven't had much
to eat since I got out of the hospital."
"If you're well, why don't you go to j
work?"
"I've been lookin' for work. sir. I j
! only found a job this moruin'."
"Well. then, why don't you go at II V
1 don't see what you want here."
The man opened his threadbare coat
unbuttoned a ragged wjaistcoat and be
gau to fumble* with his woolen shirt.
Then be took a rusty knife from his
\ rouscrs |MH*ket anil began to rip. The
? doctor watctied him curiously. Pres
?utly a little gold coin fell from the
shirt Into the man's hand. A change
might have come ov.-r the il '('tor's ex
pression had he uot been used to con
trolling it. Doctors and gamblers must
?creen their feelings. The man walked
up to the doctor and poked the coin at
him.
"I've been keepin' it for you. ?! x'ior.
ever since I sot out. When I left home
niy old maiiiiuy sowed it ni? in my
shirt and tolil me never tt> part with it
except in sickness. 'So long as you're
well." she said, "you can work to put
bread in your luoutli. liut when y-iu'w
sick yon can't. Besides. you uiiuht have
to |>:iy a doctor. They're ?>ti tl t U*< 1 to it.
ami 1 want my son always (o pay for
what he gits." I've beeu hungry, doc
tor. for a month, and I'm' been tempt
ed t? buy a meal with it ofteu. but 1
remembered what my old mother said,
and 1 remembered your kindness la re
I levin' me from sutTerin' ami puttin'
me on my feet attain."
The doctor, who was lying with his
head rest ii IK in the p i tills of his hands,
listened to tlie speeeh without motion
or change of expression. When the
man had tinisbed he remarked, with
apparent irrelcvauce:
"By thunder:"
Then he arose, took the gold piece
and said to the man.
"I'll keep your coin as a siwvenlr.
Come in here where I store my pres
ents from grateful ?ieuts. There's a
silver punch bowl from a millionaire, a
seal ring from a wealthy widow, a dia
mond searfpin from a bank president.
Here, take this (handing the man the
scarfpini and this ia Jewel handled pa- ;
per cutter* and this ta gold snuffboxf.
There's not a uiite of sacrifice in any
one of them. Take them and -ell theui
and g> get something to eat."
"But. doctor"?
Get out of here. I'm tired and must
go t-> lunch. If you don't. IJI1 lire you."
Hecently Dr. Kurd ha in has astonish
ed his friends l?y giving up his prac
tice. They were still more astonished
when it was learned that he was doing
a certalu amount of work each day
among the poor. But his manner to
ward them has changed. Instead of
-narlin,' at them he s[K?aks to theui
kindly and sympathetically. Every
c>dy Is wondering at the change,

I Ivan Lernsky. au engineer on the rail
i road ruining between Moscow and
Odessa on the Black swi, was known
I by the revolutionists 10 be In the pay
j of the police. Onc^ or twice "pollti
! cals." trying to Ret out of the country,
iiad begged Itlm to conceid theiu on his
.ngine and take thein to 0?le.ssa. where
they could embark. One had tried to I
| bribe him. Invariably the engineer
liud gone straight to the follee with I
I the in forma tlon. One night Lemsky,
I who had a day run. was preparing to
i go to U'd wlieh there was a knock on
his iloor nud a well dressed young umn
with light hair and blue eyes stepped
in.
"I wish to go south to Odessa on to
morrow s 11 o'clock train. You. I am
told, run ttie engine of that train. Will
you slow up just Iteyoud the limits to
enable me to get on? it will be very
easy for you and would l&> worth a
hundred rubles to me."
Lemsky thought a niomeut Should
he luke the brllie without earning it f
He would receive Its double troui the
police for his Information No; It
would lie too risky.
The uext morning I.emsky when he
went to tlie roundhouse dropped 111 on
lite .police and Informed theu? that a
suspicious character had tried to bribe
him to slow his traiu that he might
get on. The police orderec a couple of
detectives to go on the tral i and watch
for the suspicions character as de
scrlbed by the engineer.
At half past 10 o'clock a report was
heard in the governor's palace and |
attendants entering found the governor
blown to atoms. There was uo sign
whatever of the perpetrator of the
(leod. There was an awakening Jit the
[ oli.-e ollice, though It came late. The
Information of the engineer suddenly
appeared lo be very Important. Of
course it was only a clew, bnt the more
!t;pv thought of It the mors they con
> Idered it the true clew. Und It not
leen the assasslu himself who. Intend
ing to kill the governor not long before
it"* train started, bail wished to take
It outside the city limits? Hut. falling
to brilie the engineer to s[.>p. had he
iv.'t taken the train at the >>ntlou?
It was 1 o'clock when the police g"t
the Idea Into their stupid L'.'ddles, nud
tin* train had l>een g'>ne two hours
They at once went to the nil way of
flies and directed the suj erlnlendenl
to catch, the 11 o'clock triin bv tele
grupli and direct tin* dete'dves on it
to slop it till It could l? certainly
know u If the assassin wa< on Imard.
The sn|>erlntenrtent gave them two
ple.-es of Infonnatl'- "Jhat .istouishod
tl.eiu? first, the tele,-.iph line to Ode-'
ha was down; second, a police (.fflcial
had only half an hour ago hurried into
the otlice and in the name of tne gov
ernment demanded an engine with
which to follow the 11 o'clock train
An engine standing ready oi? the
track bad l>een given him and after
taking In all the coal and water It
could carry had left not ten minutes
Wore with the ollicer. the engineer
awl stoker.
t he otfii lals were puzzled. E'ubant;
It, j; opinions, they concluded that some
one high In rank and more ent.rgellc
thau themselves had git nhiHid of
them. Hut they could only v?.lt for
Information. The telegraph line being
down, there was no way of NMchlng
the train or the euglne.
And now let us follow the pojL'e or!
c!sl who hoi distanced his ftsllows.
He was a black eyed man. with darl
hair and beard. He s?ood, with n
watch in hand, timing the train, ami
though It covered a mile a mlnote, In
ordered the engineer to go faster
??Catch the 11 o'clock train be'.'oro It
reaches I'rakov," he said to tbw eugi
neer, "and I promise you In the name
of the czar a thousand rubles."
Tlie engineer ordered more coal Int->
the furnace, aud. with Increasul
sfeiun, Hie engine bounded over the
rails like a comet. The olflcer had n
time table in liis pocket and, noting the
time of day. told the engineer that lie
sli -II overhaul the train at Kursk.
Aim! lie did. When the locomotive roll
ed into Kursk, there stood the train 011
the truck. A switch was set for the
locomotive, and It rolled alongside the
train. Then the officer of police or
dered the engineer to pull oti.
"Hut 1 thought you wanted to catch
thi iralu." said the enginet"r.
"I did? and pass it. Pull on!" thun
?Tercil the officer.
The engineer let on steam, and the
locomotive was soon dashing on again
it the same territlc rate as before.
"Now for Odessa." said the officer.
"We must reach It l>y 10 o'clock to
night, in time to catch the boat for
Constantinople."
The engineer now began t" wonder
at this singular man who had been so
anxious to catch a train and when he
had caught It passed It without com
municating. Hut he held his peace.
He wad in Russia, and the ottloer talk
ed in the name of the czar. He spots
as one In authority, ami It was plain
that he was not to t>e questioned.
It was still a long Journey to Odessa
and had they not been going at an
extraordinary rate would have beer,
much longer. Several times they stop
ped for coal and water, and the officer
threatened those who did the loading
with the vengeance of the czar If they
did not hasten.
It was nearly 10 o'clock when the lo
comotive rolled Into the Odessa station.
| The officer jumped down while it was
still going u iv'. ran for the boat. Dash
ing on to It. lie was lost to sight aud
did not make his appearance till it was
well out at sea.
The assassin of the governor had cs
| caped. But he had bad assistants, one
of whom had offered the bribe aud an
other had cut the telegraph wlrea.
