THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, OVEMBER 4, 1882—DOUBLE SHEET. MY FIRST FEE. L T fear Iam not saying anything very original when I mention that my father was a poor @lergyman.

My aunt's husband, a Scotchman, and an M.

I meant to begin at once in good style; nothing ventured, nothing have, and I was determined to have one of the best practices in town. | ‘At last a part of my dream was realized. But yet it was all very weil to be the occupant of a le-looking house in a quiet Londcn square; to have gone to the expense of a bra: late on which was neatly engraved “Dr. Arth jerrifield ;” further to have engaged a worthy, Middle-aged female to answer the dyer, if the il had ever been wrun nd the master | i for. !

Tom Jones was the son of a rich brewer, and, knowing very well that he would come in for heaps of money, had considered it would really | be waste of time to settle to any profession. He Was, however, a good-natured, generous youth, delichted to do a kindness, and with no greater vice t a love of doing nothing useful. “Helto, Merrifield!” he exclaimed, *‘How are you?

I came at lunch-time, for fear. otherwise, of finding you closeted with some rich hypochondriac.” “Tam not very busy just now,” I answered, “but delighted to see you at any time. “Weil. how many fees have you taken?” asked | the irrepressible Jones. “Of course, London is | already ringing with your praises.” I wished he Would talk on some other subject, but truth | compelled me to ai “No. no, not yet: these are early day: truth is [have very few patients.

I never felt better in my life. 1 haven't a pain or an ache about me. However, if the case is as you say, you won't quite despise my news; I fear it is not worth more than a guinea fee, but it may lead to more. My rich uncle. Jonathan Dillon, is coming to consult you this very afternoon, because { told him you ‘are the very man he wanted, but I just looked in to tell you that he is very crotchety, and you must just manage him properly. As to his ail- ments, { don't believe they are of much conse- quence, because he has been just the same ever since I was in arms. Never looks @ day older. “L'll do my best professionally,” I sald, secret- ly not much believing this rich man would.turn Up. “As to managing him, I am afraid that 1s not in my line.” “Well. that’s a pity, because if he were to take a fancy to you, you would want no other recommendation. He'll recommend you right and left, and the whole Dillon class are diszust- ingly a ‘bh. And all inherit asthma or bronchitis. I bezan to express my thanks, for, in spite of his off-hand manner, I felt sure Jones taken some trouble about me, but he only laughed at my gratitude. “Don't mention it. Besides. old Dillon may take adislike to you. However, he mustn't find me here; perhaps he wouldn't believe I had | come to consult you, thouzh I did tell hin you were the cleverest fellow in London, 40 you are, in my opinion; I wouldn't mind tell. ing the Queen as much, if I had the chance. And then he was gone. But no, once more he turned back. “I say, Merrifield, old Dillon's dauchter is sure to come with him; he never goes out without her; a perfect slave he makes of that girl!” Tt was toward four o'clock on a winter's after- ®@ loud cough, then doors being firat patient had come. Io his card was handed to me, entered the room in my most professional amen and looking straint befure me at once saw what was unmistakably “old Dillon,” but so much wrapped up that very little more than ‘@ quarter of his face was visible. I can honestly gay I never noticed Miss Dilion till her father himself waived a small fat hand in her direction, »in-j 2 read, | not givea dishonest opinion. but | of Pa | ache, was | self about sucii a little matter, will—” i could not be much more than 17 years old. Her forehead was encircled by the most golden hair Thad ever seen, and her face, though not what could be called extremely beautiful, was yet one of the sweetest I had ever gazed at. The ex- pression was so simple, the large blue eyes were so innocent and shy, that fora moment I was completely lost in wondering how such a man as the one before me had any right to possess such a daughter. Miss Dilion was evidently aye retiring, and at this moment also feeling rop. “I dare say, Dr. Merrifield,” she said, hur- riedly, blushing up to the roots of her hair, “that there is a room I might sit in while you hold your consultation. Papa never likes me to leave him alone a minute, for fear anything should happen. Anywhere will do.” I bowed, and rang the bell, saying, in as calm a tone as possible: “Show Miss Dillon into the study.” The vision of fair hair having disappeared, I gave inyseif up to the examination of my patient. After a careful inquiry I came to a conclusion which made me certain that this was the last time I should see Mr. Dillon. The truth being there was nothing much the matter with him, that the old man was a regular hypochondriac— in fact, that all his ailments were imaginary. Bat yet.come what might, | must speak the truth; even for the sake of further fees, 1 must I would not be the first of the thirteen to act a lie. Mr. Dilion now began to give me a minute ac- count of his ailments, and to repeat the advice arious doctors. “And now, Dr. Merrifield, I feel sure you will agree with me-in thinking it absolutely impera- that I should leave England ‘at once,to cure troublesome cough.” If only I couid have agreed with him; but no. “Quite the contrary,” I said calmly. ‘I think you should stay in England, the finest and most thy climate for a constitution like yours.” Bless me! Bless me!” ejaculated Mr. Dillon, looking distressed. ‘Do you really think 80?” “Without a shadow of doubt, sir.” it about exercise? I ought to take very of course?” “Not at all; the more you walk the better it i be for you.” “You are quite unique, sir, in your opinion— remarkable! But about prescription, doctor. 1 suppose you will write one for me, to allay this cough, for instance “No,” [ answered, “any ordinary lozenge will suffice.” I knew now I had signed my death warrant; or rather, I thought I knew; for what Was my surprise when Mr. Dillon exclaimed: “My dear sir, you are the first physician who has given me’ no prescription! I believe you understand my case. I hope I may come and consult you as often as I feel the need of it; which need, I grieve to say, occurs frequently.” 1 was amazed. Curiously enough, for once the truth had pleased the old man, but now I was obliged to answer: “Lam sure you will find it quite unnecessary to come again, unless some unfureseen—” “Tut, tut, Dr. Merrifield, not one of my many medical advisers ever told menot to come again. Tassure you I shall come again, whatever you may say, and many times, too; and I hope to send others of the “family here. We all have wretched constitutions; all except Lucia; I’ve often wanted her to see a doctor, but it’s no good; the girl never complains, even of head- This time I really smiled. ‘I am sure we doc- tors are only too glad to see a lady in perfect health. The present excited life which many of them lead—" but Mr. Dillon was not listening to me, for he suddenly turned round, (for he had | risen to leave,) conghed violently, and then, ailer a nervous fumbling among tlie pockets of his great co at, he said: “Bless me! I had nearly forgotten an im- portant little matter. Believe me. s pleasure, so now I begin to think he must have —given you—" Miss Dillon quite gasped, so that I hastened to fill in her pause, this time feeling quite distressed at her trouble. “Your father gave me a very good ginger lozenge, Miss Didon; oneof those little mistakes whieh will occur now and then. Pray don’ make yourself the least uneasy about it. “How very kind you are.” she said, again holding out her hand, which I took, and forgot to let go till she had done speaking. ‘‘I-felt sure it must be that. and then I thought per- haps you would think us impostors, and I knew yoa would be too much of a gentleman to men- tion it, and so—do you think I was wrong?—I came off with Mrs. Brown this morning, and made up my mind I would explain the mistake, only it was so dreadful. But I don’t mind now that you look so kind about it. And then would you do me a great favor, Dr. Merrifield? Would you mind not hy peor to know anything about it, or that | came, or anything, because papa doesn’t know I am out; he is not down yet; and he would be go distressed, he might never come again, and I should be so sorry, as you suit him exactly.” “Pray don'tcail this a favor,” I sald as gravely asI could. ‘I think you will believe me when { say that, without even knowing your wishes on the subject, I should never have mentioned the—the lozenge.” “1 don’t know how to thank you! Now I must go.” And then Miss Dillon put that small gloved hand in her muff and drew it out again, holding it out toward me once more, and this time I felt @ little square bit of paper in my hand. Somehow our eyes met, and in spite of the gravity of the occasion we both laughed, feeling, | am sure, we should never again be atraid of each other, as she said: “Please, Dr. Merrifield, don't laugh at me. Is this the right way to giv fee, because I must tell you this is the first time in my life I have ever had to give one. I suppose some day I shall be ill and want a doctor, but I never, never have wanted to go to one before. And It wasn't for inyself thia time. was it? you will bear witness—I mean, I hope you won't ever mention it; good-bye. Now, Brown, I am ready.” And just as a ray of sunshine sometimes comes into one’s room, glimmers, dances, and illuminates the place for a time, and then sud- denly disappears. so Lucia Dillon had come and gone, and that noisy four-wheeler took off my vision of fair hair, leaving me with a golden sovereign, and anew shilling wrapped in a sinall hali-sheet of paper, on the top of which was stamped the address of their London house. 1 folded that piece of paper and put it away in a pocket-book among my treasures, such as my dear mother’s first letter to me af school, and the flower that a littl® girl of seven years old had dropped when I, a nine-year-old urchin, had fallen desperately In love with her. There was nothing there unworthy to lie next to the paper which Lucia Dillon’s fingers had touched, Later in the dayI received a note from Mr. Dillon, begging me, if I were not too much en- gazed, to come and see him, as he felt very un- well. And if I would do him the great favor of dining and spending the evening with them he would be very gratetul, for he saw so few peo- ple on account of his wretched constitution. Well, I went, and spent a very happy evening. It was only the first of many more, at least during this first season. But Mr. Dillon was as good as his word;from the day of his first visit my practice slowly but surely increased, and though there were years of up-hill work, yet it is per- fectly true that ‘ce n'est que le premier jes qui coute.” Thad at last got a chance, and I seized it. I worked with double euergy because at the the one ot making the five gif at home proud of me; I wanted a sinail, fair, blue-eyed Lucia to , | never | be proud of me; and I wanted to be able to lay gave a fee with greater pleasure or more grat- | at her feet all that is best and grandest in this tude.” He pressed his fat hand into mi and I felt a small round thing slipped dexte: ously into my palm. I then weni to rejease the vision of fair hair from my den, and at once hoped that it Mr. Dillon did come azain Miss Lucia would always accompany him. I escorted the par te the iront door, and just as Mr. Diilon ha entered the carriaze his daughter made a pretense to run back for a glove. “Please forgive me, Dr. Merrifield,” she said, looking right up into’ my face with a most anx- fous expression on her sweet countenance. . yrgive me, but what do you really think of papa? “In excellent health, Miss Dillon; pray don’t be anxious.” But before she could say any more her father called her impatiently, aud she vas gone with just one sweet smile and a ik you so much,” for all the world as if [ had just cured her father of some obstinate dis- ease. And now, clasping my first fee, I returned to my room. ‘There I uuclasped my hand, aud in the middle of my palm lay a bright, hard, yel- low, ginger lozenge! The expectation had been great, and the re- alization was so small that I burst out lauzhing at my own bad luck and my discomflture. Yet not for a moment did it enter my head to ac- quaint my patient with his mista I felt sure if I did so the vision of golden hair would blush with confusion, even though I did not see her, and the blue, truthful eyes would look troubled. No,my first fee was not wortha guinea, but such as it was, I did not hate it, because—ah, well, I might well call myself a fool for even fancy! that I, Arthur Merrifield, penniless and un- known, should, tor a moment dream that I had fallen in love at first sight with my rich patient's only daughter. I put the lozenge away in a box, and that night I again slept the sleep of a feeless phy- sician. UL. The next day I found myself thinking of a vision of tair hair, instead of taking in the sense of a clever treatise on the anatomy of the hand, which certainly could in no way be connected with the events of the day before. Curiously enough, however, about 11 o’clock, a cab drove up to the door, and what was iny astonishment —I need hardly say pleasure—when Miss Dillon, followed by an elderly maid, made her appear- ance. There she stvod, as fair and soft and beautiful as the before. but. if possible, more shy and embarrassed. The little hand she held out to me trembled visibly, as she said: “Oh, Dr. Merrifield, can you forgive me for disturbing you this morning? I don’t know how I made up my mind to come, but I felt I must, even if, t—” She paused, and tears al- most came into her blue eyes, while I could think ef no words suitable enough to set her mind at rest, being ignorant of what she wanted to say. “Indeed, Miss Dillon, if there is anything I can do for you I shall be delighted ; so [beg you will not apologize for troubling me. “It isn’t that exactly." she answered, once more looking at me in a most distressed man- nel erhaps you require further particulars asto your father’s health. 1 must repeat what I said yesterday—’ “Oh, thank you, it was so kind of you; he was much better last night ; | know you will do him good; but that was not what I wanted to ask you—oh, dear! you will think me so rude, or else an impostor, or—or—" “impossible,” I said, more vehemently than the case required. “I don’t know how to begin; I mean, per- haps you don’t know the peculiar way papa keeps his accounts!” I was startled at this question. Remember- Ing the yellow lozenge in a box, I thought I Cupid say I did know one of Mr. Dillon's pecu- ays of paying fees, but not for the world would I tell this blushing, shy, bewitching girl before me the truth. “I don't presume —” I began. “Oh, no, I am sure you don't—I was soing to tell you about it. “Papa always makes his confidential man, Baker, put the same change every morning into his pockets, and in the evening, when Baker turns out the pockets, he just puts down ina book what is missing, and makes up the number of the coins the next morning. He does it just the same every moru- it io getting rather puzzled myself now, and could think of nothing more original to say than: quite true, or you see I shouldn't have known about it.’ fier the fair vision blushed still more.) “Baker puts tn a sover- eign, a Tonite crown piece—he finds these rather difficult to get sometimes—half-a- crown, a shilling. a sixpence. a fourpenny piece, s ereepenny 'y piece, a penny, a haifpenny, and a “A very complicated way of keeping one's money, Isn't it? or perhaps complicated for Baker,” I said, feeling it perfectly impossible to repress a smile, though Miss Dillcn's sweet, earnest mouth kept so grave. “No, it is quite simple when one understands, because Baker knows exactly what a maverea, a half-sovereign—and all the rest comes to—! forget what it is—but, oh, Dr. Merrifield! Baker knew we had been yesterday to consult a new physician, and in the evening there was only a threepenny bit and « tarthing missing, and so— and so 1 knew—I mean Baker knew—and he told me that papa must have given you some- thing by mistake.

The fear of this, and some amount of jealousy, perhaps, made me speak out one day. I shall'never for- get Lucia’s face when I had said some strong. earnest, passionate words. She put her little hand once more into mine and looked up with her beautiful trathful eyes, as she half sobbed: “Oh—do you really mean it? Because, some- how, I think I have—loved you ever since—” “Ever since you gave me my first fee, my darliny,” I said, as I drew her beautiful. head on my shoulder and—well, never mind the rest: “Well, Lucia,” I added, “I loved you the firat moment I'saw you, 80 you see I loved you long before you cared for me.” But Lucia, who Js just a little matter-of-fact, shook her head de- cidedly, and said that that was all nonsense. ‘There was still the question as to what Mr. Dillon would say about it, but our true love, which had had to wait so long, this time ran smoothly. Mr. Dillon, who stiil suffered from his wretched constitution, was delighted at Lucia’s cholce, and said all kinds of complimen- tary things abont my rising fame and my other ‘ties. And so we were married, and the five girls from home were brides-maids, though they soon afterward married from our house under Lucia’s care. And though! often tell Lucia that the last person she should have married was a popular physician, considering she is never iil, yet she always shakes her pretty golden head and says gravely: “But, perhaps, Arthur, some of the children may inherit papa’s wretched constitution.” As to the story of the ginger lozenge, Lucia and I kept that a secret until Mr. Dillon died. He left Lucia all his money—and so ends this true story of my first tee.—The Argosy. Saesi0e0e SATURDAY SMILES. It is sald that all children for some time after birth are completely deaf.
