“About six vears ago my wife became afflicted with female weakness writes the Rev. [. j Copp t Elmo, Kaufman Co., Texas. ** Silie could not stand on her feet or get in any position m which she did mot suffer great pain. She despaired of ever again being well. She took six

bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and has been well and happy for twelve months.”

| BILLIAM.

By 8. R. OROOKETT, fCopvrieht. 1297. by the Author,}

Billiam had once porsessed more fur- niture than this. He had a wooden bed which he had bought in the Cowgate for 4 shillings and carried up the Pleas- ance himself, post by post and plank by plank. He only slept upon it one night. The next day he began to cut it up for firewood. It was a good bed, though, he said, but not for sleeping on. After the first five minutes it began to bite him all over.

So Billiam burned the 4 shilling bed, and it turned out all right that way. It crackled like green wood as it burned. Presently the fame of Billiam’s brass plate waxed great in the land. Dr. Macfarlane, a short winded and tem- pered man, came upon the announce- ment quite unexpectedly as he was puff- ing his way up the weary, grimy stone stairs to visit the sister of the seam- stress who lived upon the other side of the lauding from Billiam.

To say simply that Dr. Macfarlane

| Was astonished does considerable injus-

tice to his state of mind. He stood re- garding the brightly polished, clearly lettered announcement for fully ten

| minutes. Then he rang the bell, and an

| seamstress’ sister, who volunteered this |

a= a el el

answering peal came from just the oth- er side of the panel, but no one arrived to cpeu, forit was the middle of the cay and Billiam was at his classes. Dr. Macfarlane could learn little from the seamstress or her sister beyond the gon- eral suspicion that their neighbor upon the other ‘side of the landing was ‘‘may- bes no verra richt in his mind.”

It was not the seamstress, but the

information.

“But he sent us in these,’’ added the seamstress, who was a pale and exceed- ingly pretty girl, pointing to some nobly plumped purple grapes which lay on a plate on the little cracked table by the bedside.

*“*He’ll be a kind o’ young doctor seekin a job, nae doot,’’ said the seam- stress’ sister, sinking back on her pil- lows, for gratitude was not her strong point.

The suggestion excited ¢he doctor, for

he was a man who had worked hard at

' his most uncertain and unremunerative

t

practice. Besides which he had a young family growing up about him. If, there- fore, he was to have a young interloper settling in the center of his sphere of influence, it was as well to know with whom he had to contend.

So he called upon Billiam.

It was 6 o'clock in the evening when ‘Dr. Macfarlane came stumbling up Bil- liam's stairs. The door stocd slightly ajar, and there came from the other side a confused murmur of voices, a yelping of dogs, with sundry other sounds which even the doctor’s trained ear could not distinguish. But, above all, there rose fitfully the shrill cry of an infant. Upon hearing this last the doctor pushed the door with the brass piate open, which, when he stepped within, seemed at first nearly full of people. It was brightly enough lighted, tor the broad flame of a No. 6 gas burn- er hissed with excess of pressure above the bare mantelpiece. A fire burned in the grate, which shone cheerfully enough, being heaped high with small lamps of coal.

Most of the people were ranged along the walls cof the room, sitting with their backs against the wall paper, upon which their shoulders had made a gcasy brown stripe all round—young lads with dogs between their knees, girls holding cats in baskets, middle aged women nursing birds in cages. They talked to each cther in subdued tones or to their pets in reproving whis- pers. Sometimes a dog would become excited by the voice of a cat complain- ing of bonds and imprisonment near him, but he would be promptly cuffed into submission by his master, or 4

Cabary womid sucaaenly fintter agasc the bars, warned by instinct of proximity of so many enemies.

Mostly, however, there was a respect- ful silence. The doctor stood awhile rooted in amazement and did not even take any notice when several of his former patients nodded affably across to him.

Presently, from an inner room, there came forth a hard featured man, cerry ing « large book under his arm. Billic:

followed behind him, his shock of hair |

tossed and rumpled. He was stooping forward and eagerly explaining somie- thing to the man. So intent was he upon the matter in hand that he passed the doctor without so much as noticing him.

“‘And T’ll lock in and see how the pair of you have gct on tomorrow,”’ Billiam said, shaking the hard featured man warmly by the hand at the door.

Billiam turned and for the first time looked the doctor fair in the face.

‘*My name is Dr. Macfarlane. I have & practice in this neighborhood,’’ said the physician, ‘‘and I should like the favor of a few words with you.”’

“Certainly; by all means—with

pleasure,’ replied Billiam. ‘**Come ti: way.”’ And they went together into the

ond of the Montgomery street garrctr lt was nearly as bere of furniture as t- first. There was no more than a tab! some bottles and an instrument case, while round the room, arranged so as t¢

| make the most of themselves, stood Bil-

liam’s three chairs. ‘‘Take one,’’ said the student polite-

| ly, but Dr. Macfarlane pfeferred t«

stand till he knew exactly where h« was.

“‘T have the honor of addressing’’— he said and paused.

“William Reginald Setoun Ormi- thwaite,’’ said Billiam quietly.

‘*You are a doctor?’’ queried his vis- itor.

‘‘By no means. I am only astudent,”’ said Billiam quickly, ‘‘but I give these people a hand with anything they bring along.’”

‘*Do you possess any qualifications?"’ persisted Dr. Macfarlane.

‘Qualification?’ said | Billiam, a lit- tle perplexed. ‘‘ Well, I’ve been patch- ing up dogs’ legs and things all my life.’’

‘*But, sir,’’ cried the doctor indig- nantly, ‘‘this is no better than an eqauiv- ocation. I heard you with my own ears prescribing for the man who went out just now—an old patient of my own if I mistake not. And I saw you with these eyes taking a fee from him as he passed through the dour. Are you aware, sir, that the latter is an indictable offense?’’

Billiam smiled with his usual quietly infinite tolerance.

‘‘Dr, Macfarlane,’’ he said, ‘tif may sound strange to you, but the fact is

He could often be scen walking along the Pleasance.

; that man came to consult me about a separation from bis wife, and he br

ught his family Bible out of the pawnshop to show me the dates of his marriage and birth of his children. I gave him some- thing when he went away so that he would not need to take the Bible back into pawn, at least not immediately. Do you think 1 need any qualification for that?’’

‘‘And those people outside?’’ said the doctor, not yet entirely convinced.

“Will you go round the wards with me?’ said Billiam, smiling brightlr and irresistibly.

Without another werd he led t) way to the door of the next rocm. 1 seemed to the foctor fuller than ¢{er,

‘‘Lame degs this way,’’ said Bsllicu.

in a matter of fact manner, and helf ez dozen men slouched after him. Very deftly Billiam laid out a row of smal) shining instruments upon the table, with salve, lint and bandages arranged behind him.

Then he tock animal after animal in- to his hand, set it upon the table, passed his fingers lightly to and fro over its head and ears a time or two, listened to the owner’s voluble explanations with- out appearing to notice them, and forth- with proceeded to deliver a little clin- ical lecture. His deft fingers snipped away the matted hair from a neglected and festering sore. He cleaned the wound tenderly, the dog often instinc- tively turning to snap. Yet all the time Billiam never once flinched, but talked steadily, impartially and sympathetical- ly to the animal and his master till the sore was dressed and the patient rede- livered with all due directions to his owber.

_.Before long Dr. Macfarlane became so

*

interested that he w.tcti while case after cnee was disposed of with the un- erring accuracy of a hospital expert. Sometimes he would instinctively have the lint or the bandage ready in his hand, just as if he had still been dresser at the old infirmary and waiting for Lister to work off his batch.

At the end of half an hour he had no more remembrance of Billiam’s want of qualifications. He asked him to come round for supper and smokea pipe. But Billiam only smiled and suid, ‘‘Thank you a hundred times, doctor, but I have some private cases in the back room to attend to yet and then I must read up my stuff for tumorrow.’’

After awhile there came to visit Bil- liam a minister or two familiar with the district, the young resident mission- ary from the students’ hall, a stray law- yer’s clerk or two—and the superintend- ent of police. They all came to cavil, but one and all they remained to hold bandages and be handy with the vase- line.

On one occasion the minister of St. Margaret's offered Billiam the use of a pew in his church, but Billiam said, ‘Sunday is my day for out patients, or I should be glad.’’ For Billiam was a gentleman and always answered even a dissenting clergyman politely.

“*You should think cf your immortal soul,’’ said the minister.

*‘Who knoweth,’’ said Billiam, ‘‘the spirit of the beast that goeth downward into the earth?"’

And Billiam could never find out why the minister went away so suddenly 6r why he shook his head ever afterward when they met in the street. It never crossed his mind that Mr. Gregson of St.

Margaret's had taken him foran infidel and a dangerous subverter of the system of religion as by law established. Yet 80 it was.

In due time Billiam's nest of garrets became known as the ‘'lame dogs’ home’”’ and grew famous throughout the entire city—that is, the southern city of high lands, steep streets, winding stairs and odorous closes, with their Arab popula- tion of boys and dogs.

“You let that long, lanky chap alone,’’ cried one brawny burglar to an- other, ‘‘or I'll smash your dirty face like a rotten turnip! Now, mind me! Don’t you know the dog missionary?”’

Every policeman befriended Billiam, and the greater number of the police- man’s ordinary clients. He could often be seen walking along the Pleasance or past the breweries in the Laigh Calton, attended by a dozen dogs, which had followed Billiam far from their wonted haunts on the chance of a word from him and which departed obediently if unwillingly when be bade them return to their own niaces iz neace.
