Bvery- luuly knows tljat you bavo worked yi u;:.;olf up to your present high posi­ tion by your mva unaided effort?.1’ ’•Everybody knows ;juat nothing about it. Bit down there, and I’ll tell you a story. You’re a man now, and it won’t injure you, On the contrary, it may teach you not to bo too self reliant' and bqvo d«u respect for luck.' And who knows how far luck means providence. And providence often works through channels that are sur prising to us mortals. "When. I was where you are now X was obliged to start in a small town. While I was studying I was ambitious for what I have now, but as soon as X struck that town my heart sank with­ in mo. And X hadn’t been there a month before Xwas glad to attend a horse with the blind staggers to get a few dollars. 1 managed to eke out enough to pay for a room in a garret and one or two cheap meals a day. Surgery! Why, there never was but one surgical case In the town. . ."One day my old friend George Phil­ lips came through the town and looked me up. We had been at the medicai school together and had a lot to talk over, George invited me to do the talking in a restaurant, and we spent a whole evening there eating and drinking —after 10 o’clock ’ mostly drinking, Xwas an ‘abstemious young man and couldn't stand the liquor X . took in on that one occasion. George, who was more used to-it, took me to my room and left me while he ran to catch a midnight train, “X tried to get off my clothes, hut . couldn't X remember taking off my coat and frying to hang it on a bed­ post when i t came round to tue, for everything in the room was circling. While I was vainly trying to find the shoestring of my boot I heard a Vlo- . lent ring a t the doorbell' below, and presently my landlady came up in a wrapper and said, something which startled! though it didn’t sober me. John Overaker, the duly rich man in the town, had been taken violently ill and I was wanted immediately, "Here was a terrible situation. My , first chance had come and I was hope­ lessly drank. I caught at “ay coat when It came round, managed to get It on, accidentally jammed my band against my hat, got It on and stag­ gered downstairs, Xsucceeded in get­ ting to the Overaker#, rang the bell and was admitted by the only member of his family, his daughter Ethel, " ‘Oh, doctor,’ #be said wildly, I didn’t hear what she said. I learned it afterward. ‘I fear It is apoplexy. Mother died of apoplexy, and X know it by the snoring. Fafhet was brought homo by two friends, who put him In his x’oom and left him, I sent for our’ regular physician, hut he Is out of town, so I sent for you.’ "While she was giving me this In­ formation X held on to the wall with one hand and looked at her without speaking. When she had finished, she led me upstairs. I knew enough to get her out of tho room, and to do so looked at her and put my hand on the door. She understood and left me. Overalter was snoring heavily. I sat down in a chair to try to steady my­ self, and—fell asleep. When I awoke tho patient was still snoring. X re­ member leaving the room and by a careful hanging on to the banister get­ ting downstairs. I was mot by Miss Overaker. "..‘Oh, doctor, is there any hope? "I nodded my head affirmatively and pressed her hand without "speaking. Bhe understood by this how deeply I felt and my sympathy for her. ‘“ You will call very early la tho mornings’ "Again 1 nodded affirmatively and went out into tjio street. ’•Tho neat morning t was In bed groaning over a bad headache, e„worse cor-seioacu and the knowledge that 1 bad ruined my caicer a t the start, 1 wondered If Overaker was dead. There wan one comfort—nothing can bo done ill a <£tr;r* of apoplexy. 1 had prom- l:ed to call early, so I got up and by a great effort dressed myself. X was going downstairs when I saw in tho hall below, tiiiraMa. dicta, my patient. Ho saw me coming and smiled at ins.
