A DOCTOR'S
STORY
By EDWIN CONSTABLE. Ji.
j 1 was one night called from my bed
to visit a patient of wtioirv I bad Dover
1 heard. 1 asked tbo person at tbo
phone bow bo enmo to cull upon tne,
and bo could give uo reason, But be
said thcro was a young girl tbero who
bad received au Injury and If he could
not get a doctor for bor soon be feared
sho would ale. lie bnd called up sev
eral doctors and all bad refused to
J come.
"Kor heaven's sake, doctor." he add
ed. "don't leave us wit'u fi dying wo
man on our bands. We'll pay what
wo can!''
1 lived ou a street which, though it
was emluently respectable, was not
far distant from a district which was
quite the reverse. I decided to walk
! rather than take out uiy chauffeur, who
had drivcu me n good deal late at
night roceutl.v and was tired out.
The man at the phone had given me
the street and number, and as i pro
ceeded I saw that 1 was lu the worst
part of tbe town. The bouse Itself
was neither good nor bnd. the worst
thing uliout It being Its surroundings.
I hesitated for a moment, then rang
the bell. A woman came to the door,
and I noticed that Instead of hurrying
me to the sickroom she looked out
through the opeu doorway to see
whether I had come by conveyance.
"Did you walk, doctor?" she nsked.
"Yes. Why do you wish to know
that?"
"Oh. nothing Most doctors go
}lK>ut In automobiles nowadays."
This Interest in how 1 had come In
creased my suspicions, especially since
tbe call had lieeti so urgent. As I
passed through the hall to a room In
the rear I noticed that there was little
:>r no furniture In the house. Indeed.
It was what we call vacant, and the
people in it bad come Into it for a
purpose. What that purpose was I
could only conjecture. If It was to
rob me I bad iio arms with which to
lefend myself.
As soon as I' had entered the room
I saw that I had not Ih-cii called to
visit a patient The only furniture in
it was a rickety chair. Two men were
there, and the woman who had admit
ted me remained without, locking the
joor. The two men looked me over
without saying nnythlng.
"Where Is the patient?" 1 asked.
"There Is no patieut here." replied
>ne of the men. "What we want Is
money. Write us u check on your
l?uk for $3,000, and tomorrow after
we have drawn tbe amount we will let
! vou co."
The spokesman shrugged Ills shoul
ders. and the other mun felt some
thing inside the shabby otiat he wore
which I supposed to Ite n knife. 1
knew that all this was to terrify Die.
"1 haven't $.*.000 in bauk." 1 said.
"My balauce Is a little over $000. if I
remember correctly. I will give you a
check for
The men withdrew to n corner,
where they held a consultation in
\vhin|ierK Presently they came to me
ind said that if I would make It sure
they could got the money on the check
they would accept the amount, nud I
wrote a note to a friend of mine
asking him to draw the funds ami
give them to the hearer of the check.
Tills satisfied theiu. and there seemed
nothing to do* but for me to sit on the
rickety chair till the next morning and
ns much longer as was needed for my
?a p tors to get safely away.
One of the men went out: the other
remained with inc. I chatted with him
for awhile, apparently uiaklug the
best of the situation. Suddenly I sniff
ed the air suspiciously.
"There's ozone In this room," 1 said,
affecting to tie much frightened. If
there was anything iu the air it was
not ozoue; it was rather the waut of it.
"What's that?" asked the man.
"Have you got ozone'"" I asked the
man. approaching him nnd suiiUng the
air ns I did so. Then, putting my nose
to his sleeve, I added: "You have it.
Lot me get out of here. I don't waut
to die with you."
The mun looked at nic, evidently
somewhat frightened, nnd asked.
"What is It. doctor?"
"Do you know what leprosy is?"
"Yes."
"Well, ozone is n similar disease,
though it works much quicker. Iu
two weeks you will be a dead man."
He turned pnle. but kept enough
nerve to look at me with an inquiring
glance that I knew was to deteriuino
my sincerity.
"I.ct me out," I repeated. "The dis
ease Is contagious." I kicked furiously
on the door. The other man came In
to learn what was the matter. I told
him his friend had a diseaso that
would carry him off possibly in a few
?lays, and if ho didn't get away from
It he would come down with It him
self. I persisted till I had got them
frightened. Then they asked If 1
could not euro the disease. I told
them there was an antidote, but I
would have to go for It.
Following up uiy advantage. I made
an agreement with them that they
would surrender my check and call
the whole affair off if 1 would give one
of them a prescription for the medi
cine and they would let me go as soon
as It arrived. I sent the man out with
the prescription and the money to pay
for the medicine. I ordered laudanum
and when it camo gave tho patient a
dese to cure him and the other a dose
for an antidote. Having thus drugged
them, I left, nnd a few minutes later
the police bad them in charge.
UNCLE SAM'S GREAT SEAL
Story of tho Dailgn It Carriia on It*
Rovorso Sido.
Kvery American Is familiar with tho
(Treat son I of the United States? tho
Jeslgu of au eagle with outstretched
wings, bearing In Its beak a scroll with
the words "E I'lurlbus Unurn," but
few know that there Is n reverse side
to the seat, which, though never used,
Is Just as officially a part of tho grant
tea I us the side bearing the eagle. All
?eal? were originally made with two
shies, like a colli. Soft wax was plac
ed 011 both the fare and back of tho
ilocument to be witnessed by tho seal.
The obverse, or head, Impression was
made lu the upper wax; tho reverse,
or tall. Impression on the under.
The reverse side of the great seal of
the United States has for Its design a
truncated pyramid of masonry. Im
mediately above it is a sleepy looking
eye framed lu a triangle, which is sur
rounded by a sunburst Abovu Is the
motto. "Annult Coeptis." On the base
of the pyramid Is the dato 1770, writ
ten in Itoman numerals. The pyramid
Is set lu a Held sparsely covered with
plants. Below tho tleld and following
the curve of the circular rim thero
winds a scroll bearing the words "No
viis Ordo Secloruiu."
It was designed by Charles Thom
son. secretary of the Continental con
gress. in 1 78'J. "The uncompleted pyr
amid signifies growing strength mid
duration," he wrote to congress con
cerning the design. "The eye over it
and tile motto allude to the signal In
terpositions of Providence In fnvor of
the American cause. Tho date under
neath Is that of the Declaration of In
dependence, and tlie words under It
signify the beginning of the new Amer
ican era, which commeuces from that
The design was criticised so severely
by art critics and others as being un
worthy of a great nation that It wns
never used officially.
Nevertheless It was adopted by con
gress as a part of the great seal, aud
as such it must remain until thnt adop
tion Is repealed.? New York Times.

There are two glandular bodies each
of which Is known as tho sweetbread.
The larger Is the pancreas, a gland
which lies transversely across tho pos
terior wall of the abdomen behind the
stomach. It discharges Its secretion. ,
the pancreatic tluld. Into the duode

thymus gland found In the lower '
ihroat and chest. The gland Is duct

Little is known of Its function in the
economy of life. The thymus gland of
young cattle, such as lambs and calves,
is tho sweetbread of a delicate dietary.
