ghemieta i had promised to take lois braebank to the opera and was patting the last touches to my toilet preparatory to calling for her when a city messenger came with a note a glance at ihe

moment her message gave rise to more perplexity than pleasare it was too late to cancel my en gagement with lois braebank without mortal offence to that imperione beauty and it would be worse than no excuse at all to send to vinnie that i had postponed the pleasure of seeing her to that of escorting anothev lady i i what was to bo doue the father of lies at least i would gladly lay the blame dn

de ceive her thus lois braebank looked her best when i called her beauty was of the btately type and was well set off by her stylish cloak and queenly headgear miss braebank was an accomplished musical critic at times indeed she rose quite above my comprehension i ventured but little beyond assenting monosyllables and it may have been through pity of my ignorance that she finally shifted the con versation to topics more within my range yoq are from daisy vale i believe mr warne she remarked i was brought up there i answered ton must know vinnie irvin then i know miss irvin very well i re

aud did not tarn to go till there was no further excuse for tarrying 1 was glad to find that vin nie and her friends had already disappear ed and still gladder when x took leave of miss braebank at her fathers door fully determined that our acquaintance then and there should end next day i presented myself at the door of vinnies aunt to the card i sent in the servaut brought for answer that miss irvin was engaged and without an invita tion to call again the door was closed in my face i turned away aud walked on aimlessly whither i neither knew uor cared bit ter thoughts kept hie too busy to heed aught else what must vinuie think that i had preferred anothers society to hers and sought to deceive her by a silly falsehood were coucluswus she could not fail to draw besides she had seen me sit silent if not acquiescent while- abase was heaped upon hex without stint what ex- cose or explanation could i offer the look i had seen on vinnies face left no hope that any would be taken i had lost her and all through my own stupid folly a storm came up and the big drops fell thick and fast but i felt them not and still walked on it was nightfall when i bent my steps homeward then wet and shivering i sat down and wrote to vinnie i told her all without prevarication but why should she believe me now had i not already proved myself a liar my letter dispatched i threw myself on a lounge without thinking to change my soaked garments and fell into a troubled sleep i knew not when i awoke for the scorch ing fever which robbed me of rational con sciousness lasted as i afterwards learned for many days there were times when i fancied i saw vinnies face turned upon me with the angry scornful look i had seen upon it last i strove to tell her all to tell her of my love that had never faltered and how true my heart had been in spite of false appearances at last the fire that raged iu my blood and scared my brain began to smoulder and die out i fell into a deep untroubled slumber which brought the blessed boon of complete insensibility when next my eyes opened vinnies face was bent over me it was wan and worn with watching but full of loving tender- ness i tried to reach out my hand but had not the strength she took it in hers and pressed it gently do you forgive mf i asked feebly truly and freely she answered in her old landly way i was foolish to et so augry dudley for i really never ques tioned your affection and could not do so now after hearing the words let fall while the fever was upon you i wanted to tell her of the deep gratitude that overflowed my heart but

di rected his teachings to the people rather than the profeasion born and raised among connecticut settlers on the west ern resene in ohio he early began the work of many selfmade men starting at the age of sixteen as printers devil in a newspaper office he worked his way to the editorial chair and was severally con nected with the most prosperous weekly of its time in connecticut and the first successfel morning paper of brooklyn n y bat his main impulse had aioraytt been toward the study of medicine and to this end business enterprises were sacrificed antil an apprenticeship with a noteubotan- ical specialist and a coarse of study finish ing with graduation found him prepared to follow out the bent of his life to its com pletion he was among the earliest of those who advocated the publication of anatomical physiological and hygienic books for the masses and his success in writing interesting and popular books has been conspicuous his first and best known book entitled medical common sense reached a circulation of 250000 copies probably because of its originality and novelty in a new field and his subsequent writings have been mainly in the same line science in story having been writ ten for the purpose of affording a readable book for children and one which should make plain to their comprehension the facts which he considered it necessary for them to know concerning their own bodies in speaking of the late prof j s smith of oxford london saiurt remarks it has been said that in scientific thought he best and most original ideas have always been conceived before the age of thirty this is probably true also of the original of this portrait his most radical thoughts were published in his first work written before he was twentynine years- of age and though his pen is never long idle his first success has not yet been equalled by subsequent work though his plain home talk a revision and enlargement of medicacommon sense seems likely in time to obtain a circulation rivalling that of its predecessor ip practice dr foote has always been independent progressive and original al ways a foo of oldfogyism and trade-uuion- ism in medicine once a disciple of the old thcrnpsonian botanical school as opposed to mineral and bloodletting practice and now a staunch supporter of eclecticism in all that the name implies he has been actively engaged in the practice of his pro fession for thirty years and as the portrait given herewith is from a recent photograph hard work appears to agree with him and he looks equal to twenty years more of it
