Five specialists, her family doctor and his energetic young part- ner, were gathered at Poffley castle; also Boodles. It was Boodles, the de- plorable Boodles, who effected the cure. Boodles was a mastiff puppy, and diagnosed and cured the case at five o'clock, on August 16, 1906. He was shot by the gardemer the same evening. He was a deplorable dog,' and bad to be destroyed; still, he cured his patient. Incidentally he caused a dissolution of partnership of the firm of Burdock & Francis, medi- cal practitioners, and seriously injured the professional prospects of an emi- nent surgeon, and of an authority on medical electricity. It is also due to Boodles that Sir Howard Lawson, the future president of the College of Physicians; Sir Frank Judson, heart specialist, and Sir William Bowers, nerve specialist, are no longer on: speaking terms. It was high time that Boodles was destroyed. Lady Poffley-Henderson had been {1l for weeks. Her medical attendant, Doctor Burdock, shook his gray beard and suggested nervous debility. Sir Geoffrey Poffley-Henderson, who did not believe in such a thing, said “Rats!” Boodles sprang to his feet at the word, and broke a chair. “Curse the dog!” exclaimed Sir Geof- frey. It was a deplorable beast. Doc- tor Burdock advised complete rest, and the patient spent her days on an invalid couch. Boodles thought it un- commonly slow, and said so. Why wasn't his mistress up and doing, as he was? He fought and destroyed a hearthrug, and then appealed for en- couragement. The bell was rung hastily and Boodles was carried out. Doctor Burdock left for his holiday and the junior partner, Doctor Fran- cis, took charge. He increased the medicines, he tried an electric bat-| tery to stimulate the nerves. Boodles thought the buzzing induction coil a' great joke. He tried to eat it, and it' bit him. He raced round the room in pain; no rat had ever hurt him like that. He destroyed a cabinet of china before he was stopped. Boodles had done his best, but he had not been given a fair chance. So his mistress ! remained as she was; indeed, she got worse. She declared that was unable to walk. She remained on the invalid ! vouch and Doctor Francis sent to Lon- j don for the newest drugs. Boodles ate a box of them, and for some days re- mained in the stable, feeling uncom- fortable all over. Meanwhile Lady Poffley-Henderson got no better. Doctor Burdock re- turned from his holiday and shook his i head at the slow progress. So they all came. Including Bur- ! dock and Francis, there were seveu,! the fatal number. It it had not been' i for Boodles, who knows what might have happened. Boodles was living In retirement in the stables, recover- The gnawing an opening in the stable door. He wanted to get out and lee: his mistress. On the morning of the consultation the hole was almost large enough for him to squeeze through. | He set to work with renewed vigor. The patient was examined in the ll-I brary. Afterward, feeling exhausted, she was wheeled out on her couch into the garden. Meanwhile the seven medical gentlemen retired to the din- ing room to talk it over. From the windows they caught a glimpse of their patlent being wheeled into the garden just outside. Then the consul-! tation began, Doctor Birdock indicated thf‘ _r;l th X, freshments on the sideboard w by tasted the sherry. : “Now, Sir Howard, what is your opinion?” “Uncommonly good wine, Burdock,” and he smacked his lips. Sir Willlam Bowers was inquiring of Doctor Preebles how they all were at home. S8ir Frank Judson was holding an animated discussion with Mr. Cut- lin. Doctor Burdock gathered that the surgeon was urging the heart spe- cialist to sell West Australians. “Take my tip, Judson, and clear out. They dropped two points yesterday.” But the heart specialist meant to hold on. Preebles rather fancied Butterscotch for the Middlesex Autumn handicap, but Bowers didn't. He had lald a bit | on Maidenhair and saw no reason for ' hedging. “Maidenhair's my fancy, Hey, Lawson, what's yours?” “Sherry at present,” and the physi- Preebles. wave of his hand and posted himself | fire 8ir Howa £ T oPeee IS e weo : death rate, about the average’vigor, { ing after her during my holiday.” Slr| 5 Howard beamed. The door opened and Sir Geoffrey Pofey-Henderson entered to hear the opinion of the seven medical gentle- men. He foolishly left the door open. Boodles had gnawed his way through the stable door and was making for the house as fast as he could. He was on his way when Doctor Burdock was explaining to Sir Geoffrey what they thought of the case. ‘ Boodles entered. He had not seen; his master or mistress for a week l.ndI now he meant to have his say. He I)o-I gan by leaping at Sir Geoffrey’s face. Having licked that to his own satisfac- bBCk. tion he selected the heart l];oclxl.ll-t‘lI waistcoat and jumped. So did the ! heart specialist. There was an excla- mation of rage, a dismal yelp and a crash. - Sir Frank Judson had seized the de-| plorable dog by the neck and thrown i him through the window. I “Curse that dog!” spluttered Sir | Geoffrey. The heart specialist qulu| | ! agreed. There was a shriek from the garden and the eight men rushed to the win- dow. Boodles had discovered his long-lost mistress and charged. Lady Poffley-Henderson was alarmed. Had Boodles developed hydrophobia? He leaped at her face to repeat the lick- ing process. She screamed and beat him down. Boodles thought this great fun. He jumped again. This was too much. Lady Poffley-Henderson sprang from the couch and ran. So did Boodles. “Good Lor'!” exclaimed Sir Geoffrey at the window. “Cured, by Jove!” shouted Mr. Cut- lin over his shoulder. The garden was circular and en- closed by a low parapet. Lady Pof- fley-Henderson was moving around this area at great speed. Boodles was tearing the back of her dress. “Curse that dog!” shouted Sir Geof- frey as he rushed for a stick. 3 “Two to one on the dog, Judson!” “In guineas, Take you, Lawson, at that!” Boodles stopped to bite Lady Pof- fley-Henderson’s sun shade, and she gained several yards. It was the sec- ond lap around. “Paralysis of pyramidal tract,” mur- mured Mr. Cutlin. “Simple little exploration operation,” retorted the nerve specialist. l “‘Oh, bravo! bravo!” came from the seven spectators. Lady Poffley-Hen- derson had jumped over the couch at the beginning of the third round. “Getting her second wind,” said the heart specialist. The next moment they cheered again. Lady Poffley-Hen- derson had leaped the parapet and was . disappearing towards the tennis lawn. : Boodles followed. So did Sir Geoffrey with a heavy stick. | “Cleared the stick clean!” shouted Lawson, | “Cured the old girl, by Jove!” came from the surgeon. There was a moment of dead silence. “I'll have the beast shot,” said Doc- tor Burdock. Sir Frank Judson looked at his watch. “When's the next train to' town?” The five consultants went.!' Boodles had diagnosed and cured the patient. The deplorable beast was shot P the same evening. As Doctor Burdock | Model of velvet, richly embroldered explained, “it was a narrow escape In beads.
