One of those in line was an undersized, ragged fellow, past middle age. Over one eye was tightly bound a huge handkerchief of screaming red, which, when his turn came, he re- moved to show Skinner an optic glassy and lusterless and consider- able shot with blood. The Last side expert, however, in view of the lowly, unmoneyed ap- pearance of the patient, and the other probably better paying ones in waiting, gave the injured eye but a superficial glance and the owner a small bottle of “Doctor Skinner’'s Magic Fluid"—for which he col- lected 50 cents—and, with a su- perior air, door. A week perhaps had elapsed when one morning the little man, more ragged than ever, again made his appearance at the great doctor’s of- fice, complaining that the eye was no better and vociferously demand- ing a stronger medicine. Skinner without much ado. quickly com- pounded a perparation, which he ex- plained he was “sometimes forced to use in obstinate cases,” and this time collecting a dollar, bowed the importunate caller out as before. The next morning came a violent | ring at the doctor's bell. A grinning colored bay answering it admitted no other than the vious occasions, but accompanied this time by an elderly, well-dressed man | who quietly but firmly demanded to see Dr. Skinner at once. There was something in the aspeet of the men which boded no good for the eye specialist, The liitle man’s face, or that part of it not hidden from view by the huge flaming handkerchief, was a veritable study of suppressed rage. The doctor scon sallied forth from | bowed the man to the de- | jected-looking visitor of the two pre- | ELAND, FLA,, JULY 5, 1913.

Telophone, ofhes and res' denee on same line 856, his inner ofiice, Noting that his call- ers were standing, he said in his blunt- | ly polite way: “Sit down, sit down. Thanks, we'll stand,” said the el- derly man. Then he asked sharply: “You're Dr. Skinner, ain't you?" “That’s my name, but—" “And you know this man here, don't you?” Indicating the former patient. You treated him for an aflection of the eye, didn't you?" asked the inquis- itor. “Well, yes' I suppose 1 did—but, say, who the deuce are you? I—" Drawing a card from his pocket, he handed it to the astonished Skinner, who read the words, “Leo Van Slike, Attorney-at-Law." “I don’t understand,” began the doc- tor, nervously fumbling the card. “Don’t suppose you do,” replied Van Slike. “However, I'll tell you. My client here (this was said in a very lordly tone) is about to sue you tor‘ $5,000, that's all!” “Sue me,” cried the eye specialist in surprised indignation. “Why me, pray? What are you driving at, any- way?” The words were no sooner out of his mouth than the little man tore the handkerchief from his head, and. lift. ing a sunken eyelid revealed beneath it a hole—a hideous cavity, half black, half red, where once an eye had been. “Burnt out! curse you!” he roared in anguished fury. “Burnt out! That's what we're drivin’ at.” say,” commented the lawyer, “One moment,” Interposed the doc tor, excitedly. “Why shouldn't we compromise this matter without no- toriety? I'll give $300. I'm no mil- lionaire, Mr. Van Slike.” The lawyer eyed him keenly. “You'll have to double that,” he said. “And I'll give you just one minute to go to your desk and make out a check.” His tone was exasperatingly cool. There was nothing left for the spe- | cialist to do but obey the mandate, and within a few minutes the two un- welcome visitors left the place richer by $600. Said the astute Van Slike: “Say, Jim, I think the next touch we make | ought to be in some town where we're not known. Then we'll be able to sue for twice a3 much. Ha, ha, ha!” Said the unsuspecting Skinner: “What an idiot I was not to examina the little monkey’s eye when he first “A mighty serious business, I should | KELSEY BLANTON LAWYNR ? §. Blig.
