Quad. $ Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis. 4 1t was the public press that first gave me a lift as a young physician and sur- geon, and it was the same power that almost wrought my death in the same fortnight. I had been very fortunate in a surgical operation in a charity hos- pital in which many people of social standing were interested, and the news- papers caught up the talk and gave me a fine send off, Not a week had passed before I received a caller who came to consult me about a case of cancer of DE slater. of his. he sald, who was the viet, Eri ts call was to learn how I would operate and whether I would be free after 9 o'clock of an evening. It was the fourth night after his call that the summons came. A man whom I at once took for a valet came in a cab to tell me that Mr. Gray's sister had consented to the operation and I was to go with him at once, Every- thing necessary except the surgical in- struments had been provided, and in ten minutes I was riding through the streets of London with him. When we finally stopped after a two mile ride, the street, so far as I could make out, was a fairly respectable one, and the house we entered was detached and built of brick and stone. I took no heed of name plate or number, but fol- lowed at the young man's heels and was conducted to a room on the second SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS. floor. 'As I entered a sitting room near the head of the stairs I found it well lighted and Mr. Gray awalting my ar rival "The patient is in the next room," he sald after greeting me, "but I should like to have a few words with you be- fore going in.

"Man, you must be crazy!" 1 exclaim- ed in indignation. "Is this what you | brought me here for--to mutilate? | "That is it," he replied as he rubbed | his hands together.

You will either do as I| order you to or--or"'-- "Or what?" I asked. "I will take revenge on you as welll" he quietly replied. "Then take your revenge, for I'll have nothing to do with ygur case!" I think he was satisfied that I meant what I said, for after a long look at me he picked up a bottle of chloroform and a sponge and after filling the sponge applied it to my nose. Do not | imagine I took the situation serenely. On the contrary, I shouted and strug- gled, and it was only after I had been thrown to the floor by the combined ef- forts of the two men that they succeed- ed In depriving me of my senses. 1 | knew when 1 was going and wondered TM-wiat part of London. 1 was and 4 what sort of fate would be meted out to me. The next thing I knew I was | In a hospital, with a doctor seeking to revive me. I had been picked up on the street by two policemen and carried in- to the place. I was supposed to have taken too much wine and then been run over by a passing carriage. The hospital was a mile and a half from my office, and I had no doubt been car ried to the spot where 1 was found by the two men and a carriage. If the husband had meant to have revenge on me, he had thought better of it. You may be sure 1 put the case in the hands of the police, but nothing came of it. They found a score of streets and a score of houses which an- swered to the faint description I could give, but were sure of none. ,What the | fate of the woman was I could only conjecture. Perhaps the husband re- lented toward her as well and was sat- isfied with easting ber off. A Cornet Performance, In the early part of Queen Victoria's reign & very talented family of the name of Distin earned considerable fame both in this country and on the continent by their singing and admira- ble performance upon & quintet of sax- borns. Bubsequently the party broke up, and one of the members essayed to start a musical Instrument shop in Cranbourn street, Leicester square. He was, however, in very indifferent pe- cuniary circumstances, and his "store" engaged in whitewashing, when a cus tomer arrived and demanded a cornet.
