An old trick is being worked upon tho members of tho medical profession with success in several instances. A man calls at tho doctor's office at a time he knows ho is away. Asking for tho doctor and learning he is out, the ranu is, oh, so sorry, but maybe the good doctor's wife would answer. Tho doc tor's helpmate is summoned and is in formed that the visitor is a patient of the .doctor r.nd lives (in one instance) in Newark, N. J. He is anxious to set tle a hill of $29 and nsks the wife to give a receipt fcr that sum. Tho geed wife, overcome both by the vision of a $20 debt being settled and also by the flattering remarks of tho pleasant man nered fellow, gives the receipt. In ex change he presents n certified check fcr $25, gets the $5 in change, and well, in duo time the poor doctor jots down in his account book on the credit side, For experience, $5. ' ' Medical Record. JUST INSTINCT. Fate was a car nd Leonard Horrick was a mouse. Th.: had been some raro t-port, but Hen iik was of tho opinion- that it oould net last much longer. Ho had run this way ami that way, und a thousand times he hod fancied that ho was going to escape Dut always the-' velvet paws, with tho long, sharp claws springing out of them, had caught him just in time. Bo at lust ho lay still, pauting, not knowing which way to turn. Ho was in a big city, all alone. The people who rushed by him were like the thoughts that whirled through his brain they were shadows, and the everlast ing train of them had no beginning or end. Ho could not distinguish tho real men and women whom he saw from those whom ho merely remembered. Now and again there appeared in the throng the faces of the dead. He did not mind those. But there were others that he shrank from. Ho stood with his back against tho iron fence iu front of Trinity church. Herrick's hands were in his pockets. He crumpled a crackling piece of paper, which meant that he could live several days longer if he cared to do so. As to a more extended future, he could not picture it. All the lines of his life seem ed to end in a knot which could by no means be untied, but must merely bo dropped. He remembered thaj; there were miracles, but he could not think of one to wish for. of Herrick's personal appearance. n reflected with satisfaction that the spot on Wall street whoro ho had entered the carriago lnwl leen rather dark. Tho cab stopied suddenly, its path being blocked by a t angle of vehicles. Ilerrick softly put his hand upon tho catch of tho door. It yielded noisclcsidy; tho door swung open. Ilerrick stepped out. Turning bark for an instant, ho perceived the cabman sitting upon his box in entire uncon sciousness of tho fraud that was being practiced upon him. Ho wa a poor man and doubtless worked hard for all tho money that ho received. Still, it was reckkss to attract his attention again, especially so after having left tho cab in that strange manner. Thcro was a way to tho sidewalk through tho press of vehicles. Ilerrick saw it from tho corner of his eye and was ubout to tako advantage of it. In stead, to his surprise, ho found himself turned toward tho cabman, and imme diately ho heard his own voice saying: "I have decided to get out here. How much do I owe you?" The. cabman named his price, and Ilerrick paid iiim with the 5 "bill which had been tho sum of his wealth and the end of it, so far as ho could see, so short a timo before. He counted his change carefully, remembering that he would probably have to wait until the next day before ho could break one of tho thousands. Enough remained to him from the bill for a supper, a bed and a breakfast. When ho had found a restaurant, he ordered a meal and ate it with relish. mason ooxjisrnr Pure Rye or Bourbon Is an absolutely Piro Whlskoy, aged In wood and bottled by tho dlstlllors In full quart octagon bottlos.

IIow the Sport Became Topular In Mw York City. Whilo skating is now ouo cf tho most popular sports of the winter season it is only comparatively a lew years biuco it has become so in this city. When tho Central park was being constructed . iu 18G0 and tho email artificial lako at Fifty-ninth street was nearly completed, tho park commissioners announced tnac it would be thrown open for tho use cf skaters. A few men took advantage of tliA invitation. Lut wouuil could not bo tat ion, for he had no errand. A voice cried, "Cab, sir 1" almost iu his ear. He turned and looked up at the man on the box. 'Is it possible," he said to himself, "that I still look like a gentleman?" . He felt toward tho cabman as toward one who had given him a helping hand. Why not pay tho debt? To do 60 would cost him only a day of his life. Ho had a $5 bill in his pocket. Yes, ' ' ho said. ' Take mo up to the Fifth Avenue hotel. ' ' It was the first place that had come into his mind. Ho got into tho cab and snapped tho door. The cushioned seat ana tho comfortable support for his head were very refreshing. A fancy came to him that ho would dino decently and then go to a theater. The extravagance would be trifling, for it was really of small importance whether ho starved to death on Suuday or tho following Wednesday. Ho was in a mood to make a jest of it all. A strong glaro from an electric light 6truck down into the carriage and mado visible to him a packago in brown pa per that looked as if it might bo a sand wich. Tho object protruded from under tho scat. He thought it must bo tho cabman's supper which had been hidden in some small locker . and had fallen upon tho floor. Tho idea that tho food should bo spoiled was disagreeable to Ilerrick, and so ho picked up tho littlo induced to go on the ice.

It felt like a mass of bills folded, awkwardly wrapped up mid fastened with elastic land Through the brown covering jiomeu could feel tho cri-pii's of the govern mcut paper. Tho amount might bo a poor man's monthly wagea i-r a rich man's profit on a great transaction. As to b.i.s own conduct ia (liHinatUr, Herriek had no doubt whatever. Fate had thrown this money into Lis liar.d:?. and fate inteht take it war, but not if ho could hold on tightly enough. His fingirs trembled ns he picked nt tho elastic bands. Suddenly ana wnncui his knowing why the rubber strings vanished with a loud snap that startled him. and the package sprang open on his knees. He caught a Hash of green color, and thou tho cab rolled out of light into shadow. It seemed a long time before another li-'ht struck in upon him. At the mo ment when it did so he saw a face eloso to tho cab door, and ho dodged back, covering the bills with his hands. But tho chance passenger on tho street saW nothing. He was thinking of his own affairs no doubt and had no inkling of tho strange thing that passed so close to his eyes. mm . Ilerrick was himself ngam in a mo ment, nud ho bent forward, eagerly scanning tho bills in his hands and counting them feverishly. There were 40 of them audeaohwas of tho dcnoml .f .i nnn. ' Throughout tho later poriodof ' tho young man's misfortunes no uau ua substantially but one wish to rest. Rest has many forms, suited to a vast variety of individual tastes. To Ilerrick in hisday dreams it had always taken the fonu cf travel without caro. All paths lio open for a man who has $40, 000, and there is no reason why cars should sit behind him as ho rides. Ilerrick had only tho most thought for tho person who had lost thU money. Ho did not even speculate upon the manner of its loss. It had passed into the control of one who needed it, and that was enough. He disposed the notes in his pocketi in tho best interests of comfort and safe ty Then he folded up the brown paper and pocketed that also, with , dim ccm Kiousness that if it were left in th cab it might get the driver into trouble. The fellow was honest, no doubt, ani Ilerrick did not wish that he should Suffer a wrong. Ho preferred to keep the wrapper himself and tako tho risk of it until ho could find some means of disposing of it that would bo safer tha. throwing it out of the cab window. How to leave the cab was a questkt, . ..u him nearly. He did not wish to confront tho driver again, for there might bo an investigation, and a quation of identification might vine, in which case it would bo well to &re the man know M little aa possible on an Atlantic liner, tho delicacies of European hotels and the iruits oi me tropics. Ho cared little for his bed. It would bo no more than a place to lie and think of tho future. It was many a night sinco ho had really slept. Certainly with so much upon his mind ho would not sleep this night, even if ho should try. So when ho had been shown to his room in a hotel ho piled his pillows against tho headboard of the bed and reclined against them, fully dressed. He was very happy. No question of right or wrong in what no nan none or wnat he expected to do camo to torment him. For a long timo he nail torne nis me like a tremendous burden. This had suddenly slipped from his shoulders, leaving his natural powers benumbed. In tho midst or nis ursc vision oi u new life ho was aroused by a knocking at tho door. Ho started up; his legs would hardly support him; he . had no voice with which to ask who was there. But one explanation was possible. He must havo been watched by the police He tottered to tho door and gave ut tcranco to a hoarse, inarticulate sound. "Eight o'clock, sir!" cried a voice without. "You asked to bo called, sir." Ho rushed to tho window und flung open tho shutters. Day streamed in, strong and beautiful. Tho gas flame paled. Ho knew that ho had slept as ho had not slept before in years. In the mysterious depths of his life ho felt a new strength stirring, but it was only nascent ns yet. A bath and a breakfast revived him still more. He felt the exhilaration of a busv day uon which he was entering. Ho si aimed the papers, but so far as ho could see they had no news or the mon ey that hvA boon lo.st. He was not con scious jy excitement in searching for that lie cv Thef arof detection had ... . . x r, 11 ..1...1 ' .1 , quite Kit Hm. ui iui mo.cii w"- uur.:t y the hardest to recover. x Presently Lo found himself riding down town iu s::i elevated railroad train. Ho was going to a steamship c face to arrange for his journey, then to n banker's i'or a traveler's checkbook. lli-s pi ckets, wore bulging with mon ey, but there was something in one cf tiiem that he couldn't remember to have put there. He pulled it out and found it to be the brown raper wrapper that had contained the money. As he held it in his hand it was concealed by his newspaper. No fellow passenger could see it, and it was doubly fortunate, be cause in plain sight upon the paper were tho name nud address, "Herbert L. Graham, 40 Wall street." Tho train was just stopping at Rector street That was tho station nearest tho steamship office. Thrusting tho brown pnicr back in his pocket, ho left tho car aud went with tho throng down to the street. Ho was thinking about the accommodations he would choose ou tho steamer. He continued to think of that and kindred subjects, yet ho turned north on Broadway instead of south. Presently ho fouud himself askiug an elevator boy in a big building if ho knew whero Mr. Graham's oflico was. Mr. Graham happened to bo in his outer offleo when Ilerrick entered. He was pouring a story into tho ear of an other gray haired Wall street man, and Herriek heard a few words of it some thing about cabs and cash and careless ness. "I have found tho money that you lost." said Herriek. "Hero it is." "Zioul" cried tho banker, clutching tho bills in his fingers. "My dear fel low, tell mo all about it." There's nothing to tell," replied tho young man. "I merely found it in the cab." Mr. Graham eyed him a moment in surprise. . . "You take it coolly," he said. "I couldn't take it at all," responded Ilerrick, with a feeble smile. "I don't know why. It was instinct, I suppose. My ancestors must have been honest men." "Upon my word, you must take one of theso notes," aaid tho banker. "I've offered it in an ad. and" "I can't do it," said Herriek. "I don't fed it to be right. " "But, my dear boy," exclaimed the old man kindly, "I must do something for you. I want to, believe me. At least come back and tako lunch with me. Shall wo say 1 o'clock?" "It will give me great pleasure,' ! said Herriek. and, bowing, he turned away and walked out or the ouice, Everett Holbrook in St Louia Globe Democrat.
