Not but that there were plenty of people about; the trouble was that either they would not be ill, or, when they were ill, they would go to old Dr. Robson at Tunston, twenty miles away, when they might have come to me and been cured for half the money. lwas not what is commonly called “hard up,” for I had enough money left to last me, with economy, for another year; but I was sick and tired of the ter- rible inaction, and of being pitied, or laughed at, or treated with contempt, as the new doctor. Insucha frame of mind I ought to have sensibly set to work to heal myself by prescribing exercise and fresh air, and forced myself to go out, instead of sitting indoors studying, and fearing to leave home in Gase that long-expected patient should come, as come he would, I was sure, directly I went out. I walked to the fire and poked it that frosty day, and then I walked to the window, rubbed away a little of the ferny ice pattern, and looked out. Two ruddy-faced young fellows and three merry-looking girls, evidently their sisters, were walking sharply by, with the frozen snow creaking and crunching under their feet, as each swung a pair of glistening skates de- pendent from the wrist. “Off skating!” I said, aloud, and a thrill of pleasure shot through me. Well, why not? I had a splendid pair of nearly new skates, which had been ground and oiled before they were put away two seasons before. The ice was perfectly safe, the sun shone, the sky was blue. In imagination I began to glow and feel the blood throbbing in my veins as I heard the hollow metallicring of the black ice, and saw the puffs of white dust fly at every stroke of my steel blades as I sped along. “They're going up to the big sheet of water on the way to the Hall. Lord John is in town, and the bailiff has given them leave. Hurrah! Ill be a boy again for a day, and skate as I used to skate. It'll do me good, and—” A second thought struck me, and I threw myself in my chair with my fore- head all in lines, for I caught a glimpse of it in the glass. “Self-denial, John Russell!” I said. “Master yourself, for so sure as you go skating somebody will come and want you. Stop at home and study up, ready for the patient who will come. Your surgery’s weak yet. “Of course it is!” I roared, angrily, as if in answer to somebody who had poken. o would yours be if you had no practice!

Oh, Old Morton, the veterinary surgeon. Pity I was not brought up a yet! Plenty | of horses, cows, pigs and sheep want doctoring, but no people.” The skaters went on, and I took down a book which, off and on, I studied all day, going deeply into the construction of joints and their muscles, and ques- tioning myself how I should proceed if at any time I was called in to attend a patient with a sprained ankle, knee, wrist, elbow or dislocated limb. Just as I resumed my seat after lunch the skaters came back, evidently to their own dinners, and just then Mrs. Dinton came in to clear away. “I knowed it would be, sir,” she said. “The pump—it’s froze hard.” “Restore its circulation with a kettle of boiling water, Mrs. Dinton,” I said, “and have it bandaged with hay-bands.” “Why, sir, any one would think that you were a country gentleman, instead of from town. That's just what I was going to do.” I went on reading; Mrs. Dinton went on talking. “They tell me some of the young people’s got a whole bundle of torches from Tunston, and they’re going to skate to-night by torchlight. And oh, what do you think, sir? Marly, the carrier, tells me that the old doctor over at Tunston’s ill in bed with gout.” “Humph! Might send for me to help him,” I muttered to myself. “And that he has gota local demon down from London to help him.” “A what?” I roared. “Well, sir, I thought it strange, but that’s what Marly said.” “No, no; locum tenens, Mrs. Dinton.” “No, sir; he said local demon as plain as plain, and Dick Marly’s a very care- fulman. You won’t go skating, sir? I did dusty your skateses.” “No, no, Mrs. Dinton. Too busy, thanks. “Poor old fellow! Gout? Well, he will not want me,” I said to myself, and I read till the sun set red over the hill, and then till the mist was gray, and the night set in as it does set in during a January frost. As I sat over my tea in my cozy, warm room and listened to the hum- ming of the frosty wind outside, I turned in my chair to listen to a merry chorus, as a party went by my window, and the clink of a pair of skates told me what their mission must be. Iread on for perhaps an hour, quite in good spirits, and was mentally treat- ing a very bad sprain successfully, when Mrs. Dinton bustled into the room. “A letter for you, sir. Man brought it from the Hall, “From the Hall? “Ts he waiting?” “No, sir; he’s gone again. was to come on directly.” I opened the envelope with trembling fingers and read, written in a bold, clear hand: “MR. RUSSELL: Come on tothe Hall direct- ly. Lord John has met with an accident. Leg badly fractured. Bring your instruments.” “Lord John!" I exclaimed. “I thought his Lordship was in town.” “I did hear as he was expected down any time, sir. Is any thing the mat- ter?” “Leg broken!” I said, “Quick, Mrs. Dinton. my coa’ “Bless us and save us! Poor, dear man! He's slipped on the front door- steps, as sure as I'm a sinful woman, and him with a houseful o° servants, and not one to think to throw downa shovel of ashes! Here's your comforter, sir.” I slipped the things on, stuffed band- ages and splints into my pockets, a bot- tle or two in others. and then caught up a long mahogany box from the side- board cupboard. “Oh, for goodnes: as you're going to- “That's all, I think!” I said, breath- lessly. ‘‘Don't sit up if I'm late.” The next minute. without hearing Mrs. Dinton’s reply, I went out in the frosty night thinking of the task I had in hand. and the possibilities. “No,” I said. “I must not attempt an operation without assistance. It would be too great a responsibility. Better have left the case at home.” I laughed at my too-great eagerness in a few minutes, but at the moment of starting, if that letter had said: ‘‘Bring every appliance in your surgery,” I be- lieve I should have obeyed. I had a mile and a half to go, passing two or three farm-houses before I reached the park with its fine avenue of oaks; and just before I reached the last house, with its ruddy lights stain- ing the pure snow, I could see other lights down in a hollow to my left, and hear shouts as the smoky torches of the skaters glided here and there. Ialmost ran the rest of the way, and kept expecting to see the illuminated windows of the old Elizabethan Hall; but all was dark still, and when I reached the place I was saluted by the baying of a dog, and a man came out of a yard to my right with a lantern, while beyond him I could see the lights in the stables. “Who's there?” “I—Mr. Russell,” Isaid. ‘Will you show me the way up to the house?” “Yes, sir; but there’s noone there, sir. Mr. Bennet and old Sam are in the stables.” I cried, excitedly.

It’s because we allus call the old horse Lord John.” “Give me my letter and let me go.” “Stop a moment, sir,” said the old man, taking out a letter which he read aloud: “We'll mind and shut the gates after we've done skating, and we shal! be offof the ice by eleven.” “Yes, I thought so, sir. One of Mr Mark Winsey’s games. Look.” I snatched the two letters and com- pared them. There was no doubt about it. I had been hoaxed by the practical joker of the place. “If had him here,” I said, fiercely, “I'd horsewhip him.” “And serve him right, too, sir. It’s too bad to a gentleman; and it’s like him as called wolf in the fable. P'r'aps some day he'll want help and it mayn’t come.” “Well, Master Bart,” said a rough voice, ‘the sooner the better, I say.” “Oh, don’t say that, Mr. Morton,” cried a woman. ‘Poor old Lord John!” “Well, ‘tis a bad job, Mrs. Bennet, but the sooner he’s put outof his misery the better.” “I'm ‘fraid so, Mr. chap, then!” The bailiff went into the stall where a good-looking cob was standing on three legs, and the poor brute turned its head round and uttered a pitiful whin- nying sound, while I looked on. “If you'll fetch the pole-axe, Master Bart, I'll soon do it,” said the harsh- voiced man. “Is the leg badly broken?” I said. “Well, no; not what you'd call badly broken.” “Couldn’t you set it?” “Set it!” said the vet, contemptuous- ly; ‘who ever heard of setting a horse’s leg?” “I have,” I said, sharply, for his tone annoyed me. “Then you'd better set it,” he said, with a sneer. “T will,” I said. Morton. Poor old “Does your master set much store by this horse?” I said. “Store by him, sir!" cried the bailiff. “Why, Miss Lydia will break her heart about it. His Lordship wouldn’t lose him for a hundred pound.” “Shall I try and set the leg?” I said. “Shall you try, sir? Will you?” For answer I took off my coat, and the veterinary surgeon laughed. I need not tell you how we did it. Suffice it that I did set that horse’s leg that night. The poor animal seemed to understand what was going on, and rubbed his muzzle against my hand as I patted and talked to him after he was hoisted up and slung from the stable rafters. As I went home at about eleven I was stopped half way by an excited group, who hurried me to one of the farms, where I found another patient awaiting me, lying groaning on a mattress. “How did this happen?” I said. “We were just leaving the ice,” said one of the party, “when Mark slipped and fell.” “Mark!” I involuntarily exclaimed. “Yes, sir, Mark Winsey.” I meditated for a few momentsas I re- called the bailiffs words, and then I took off my coat once more, and with a great deal of show placed my small mahogany box on the farm kitchen table. “All leave the room,” I said, “but three.” I was unwillingly obeyed, and then I knelt down and examined the injured man. “Leg fractured,” I said, ‘just below the knee. Hah! a bad case.” There was a faint groan from my patient. “Lucky for you, Mr. Mark Winsey,” I said, ‘that I've been in practice to- night.” There was another groan, young man looked ac me wildly. “I’ve set Lord John’s leg, sir, and I’ve followed out your advice to the letter. I did bring my instruments—luckily for ou.” : “What?” he groaned. ‘Doctor! doc- tor! you're not going to take off my leg.” “Surely I ought to know best what to do inacase like yours, sir. There, I shall not hurt you much. You are too young and stout-hearted to need chloro- form. Your friends will hold you. Be kind enough to pass me that case.” “Doctor, 2 moment!” he whispered, hoarsely, as he clung to my hand, which I had laid upon his wrist. ‘“I won't flinch. I'll be aman, but—but—it was a beastly contemptible thing to do, and —and I beg you pardon.” “And I beg yours, my lad. I am ashamed of myself for being so mean as to try and frighten you in revenge for your practical joke.” “T swear I'll never—” “No, no, don’t swear it,” I said. “There, lie still; I will not hurt you | much. It is a simple fracture, and soon you shall be quite well.” “Thank God!” I heard him whisper to himself, ‘for my mother’s sake!” I kept my word, and I believe he kept and the “What, is he there?” I said. “Yes, sir, and mighty bad.” “Be quick, then. How did the acci- dent occur?” “Well, sir, that’s what I can’t make out,” said the old bailiff, whom I now recognized, as he led me toward the sta- | ble. ‘‘No business to ha’ slipped up as he did, for it's only three @ays since he was roughed.” What?” I said, as we entered the | stable where a group of people were standing in front of a stall.
