The little man's face, or e huge flaming handkerchic!, was voritable study of euppressed rage, . The doctor soon sallied forth from his inner ofiice. Noting that his call- er§ were standing, he said in his blunt- Iy polite way: “Sit down, sit down.” Thanks, we'll stand,” said the el- d“.rly 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 aftection of ;‘w eye, didn't you?” asked the inquis- tor, “Well, yes’ 1 euppose 1 did—but, say, who the deuce are you? 1—" Drawing a casd from his pocket, he handed it to toniched Skinner, who read ti “Leo Van Slike, Attorney-at Lav “I don't us retand,” began the doe- tor, nervously fumbling the card. “Don’t suppose you do,” replied Van Slike. “However, I'l tell you.

That's what we're drivin’ at.” “A mighty serfous business, I should say,” commented the lawyer, “One moment,” interposed the doc- tor, excitedly, “Why shouldn't we compromise this matter without no- toriety? 1'll give $300. I'm no mil- lionaire, Mr, Van Slike.” The lawyer eyed him keenly, “You'll have to double that,” ke said. “And I'll give you just one minute to go to your desk and make out a check.” His tone was exasperatingly cool.
