Have had years of experience, and my work has always- given sa*‘sfaction. W. H. STRAIN, Lakeland, Fls By HAROLD CARTER. “No, sir, I won't let you look at my eyes, nor I won't have you round here neither,” snarled “Pop” Hendon to young Docter Gray. The young physician had only spent three months in Greenville, but that was quite long enough to convince him that “Pop” Hendon was, as the neigh- bors said, the crankiest old man in Bretton county. Doctor Gray did not mind the old fellow’s moods. Before he had gone blind, five years before, Hendon had been a good neighbor and citizen. Since his blindness he had become morose and suepicious. The werst feature of the situation, so far as the doctor was concerned, was that “Pop” suspected the young man’'s love for his only child, Alice, and took a ma- licious pleasure in taunting him about 1 ‘The young fellow was not yet in a poeition to marry. Alice would have waited for him; but she could not leave her father. She was all he had. The young doctor had a last inter- view with his sweetheart that after- noon. “Dearest, I will wait for you as long as is necessary,” she said. “But so long as my father lives we must be just good friends and nothing more. If he were not blind I would leave all and come to you.” Gray understood. He kiesed her fondly and went back to his office, re- solved to throw himself with all his energy into his work and try to forget, until the time came to claim her. And so a year passed by. Rarely, when Gray had occasion to pass the house, he would see the old man, im- placable as ever, seated upon his porch, spelling out the Braille words with his right forefinger. He seemed conscious of the doctor’s presend®, and would look up and scowl heavily when Gray went by. One day Gray had an urgent call on the telephone. It was from Alice. “Wont' you come up at once?” she begged. “Doctor Clitden is away and father has had a bad accident.” A medical man knows no enmities where his profession is concerned. Half an hour later Gray was at the house and being shown into the old man’s sick room. Hendon had been knocked down by an automobile while trying to cross the street. He had taken malicious delight in running away from his daughter, and had been struck fairly by the machine. He was badly bruised; but, what was worse, the tendons of his right hand had been crushed. Gray saw at a glance that, while the hand could be made serviceable, Hen- don would never again be able to straighten the fingers completely. “You're the young fellow who used to be sweet on Alice, ain't you?" he snarled. “I thought you'd drop her as soon as you learned there waen't any money coming with her.” “Let me see that hand, please,” an- swered Gray. A week later “Pop” Hendon learned the truth. His hand would be useful for all purposes except one; never again would he be able sufficiently to flex the forefinger so as to feel the raised type with the delicate nerve tissue underneaih the first joint. ‘When the news was broken to him the old man's agony was painful to witness. He lay still without speaking for days together, interspersing these outbreaks of maniacal fury. At such times only Gray could restrain him from flinging himself out of the win- dow. Somehow the young doctor seemed to have acquired a certain in- fluence over the morose old man. It was after one of these maniacal spells that Gray addressed Hendon, who was lying exhausted upon his bed. “Mr. Hendon,” he said, “I may as well tell you that I took the occasion just now to examine your eyes.” Hendon lay on the bed in dogged silence. “I believe your trouble is nothing but cataract,” he continued. “I have been to the doctors who examined you before and seen their records. What they told you was that your case was incurable at present, but might be al- leviated later.” “Yees, trying to fool me into spend- ing more money on ’‘em,” snarled “Pop” Hendon. “No, sir,” answered Doctor Gray de- cisively. “A cataract cannot be op- erated upon until it has reached a cer- tain stage of hardness, about a year after it begins. You were the victim of your own suspicions. You could have been cured years ago. You can be cured now.” “Will you do it, Doc? gasped old Hendon, turning his face upon Gray’s with a look of wistful hope in his eyes, Two weeks later “Pop” Hendon, seated in the dining room, waited for the bandage to be lifted. The morose old man had been strangely silent dur- ing the period of waiting. Doctor Gray took off the bandages. “Well, sir?” he demanded. “Pop” Hendon leaped out of his chalr. “I can see!” he screamed, clasping Gray violently by the hands. “Lord. I can see again. Doc d the world is!™ With which sentiment the dooter was in entire sympaiay, as he drew Alice toward bim and kissed her. And “Pop” Hendon beamed on then through his heavy lenses. (Copyright, by W. G. Chapr.an) W 3069 periods of moroseness, however, with ; SPATS D HARR By GRACE JENNINGS. When Harry Fenton opened a law office in the metropolis he encouraged himself with the statement he had once read that the average lawyer's income was in the meighborhood of three thousand dollars. That was all | right, but it omitted to add that the colossal incomes of the leading lights I swelled the average; in other words, i that this income was distributed ! among the profession very irregular- ly indeed. Three months and three clients had begun to raise in his mind serious prob- lems as to his winter's office rent when, one morning, the prettiest girl that he had ever seen entered his little place. “What can I do for you, madam?” asked the man, bewildered both by the apparition and by the melancholy thought that he could not charge a pretty girl as much as he would charge her father. “You are a lawyer, are you not?” asked the girl, sitting down and look- ing helplessly at him. “I wanted—I ‘wanted to go to an unknown lawyer. You see, I am well-known about here. My father is a lawyer.” “You havnr come to the right place, madam,” said Harry grimly. “Well, it's like this,” said the girl. “My father married late in life. He 18 nearly eighty now, and he has fal-| len into the power of a dreadful | woman—Madame Charmeuse, the Me—! dium.” | “Who advertises In the Sunday papers?” “Yes. She claims to put him in communication with his wife—my step-mother, you know—by automatic | writing. My mother died when I was born, and father maried again, and his second wife died.and—well, last night ! 6th of them Wrote to him.” | Out of the girl’s incoherence Harry gathered the following facts: His vis- itor's name was Lucy Lawrence, and her father had been a noted lawyer in his day. He had begun to investigate Spiritualism, and the “Medium” had: begun to send the old man notes, lnI i | | | i \ e “My Wife's Writing!” 1 | | | | automatic writing, instructing him to { leave all his money to her, instead of ' to his daughter The old man, who | was shrewd enough in other ways, ' had shown reluctance to comply wlthi . his second wife's wishes. Whereupon , the spirit of the first wife, the girls mother, had appended her name to a similar communication, stating in posi- | | tive terms that no money was to be, left to her daughter, since her nature , needed to be developed through pover- I “And it you can help me in some | way I shall be so grateful,” pleaded the girl. “It isn’t that I want the, money, But it is terrible that my father's fortune should go to that horrible Charmeuse woman, a dreadful greedy impostor.” “Have you any letter that your mother ever wrote?” asked the young | man. The girl reflected. “Yes. Father! showed her one of mother's letters once,” she answered. “I believe I can get it for you." “One more question. Is it possible for you to bring me to one of these seances?” asked Harry. “Why, of course,” replied the girl. “Father is delighted to have people brought, it he thinks he can convince them. Only, you see the Charmeuse woman is too cunning to write those communications when anyone else is there.” | She brought Harry the letter the following day, and it was arranged that he should call the next evening at ' the house, where a seance was to be | held He could not avold some trepidation . | when he was shown into the room. Mr. Lawrence, the old lawyer, was seated in his chair, and, near him, a creature in a black frizzled wig with a pair of singularly penetrating grey eyes which, turned on him, apprizing him at once that the Charmeuse was on guard, and that there would be no commui ications” worth mentioning tha! evening “Father, this 18 my friend Mr. Fen- ton who is auxious to study spiritu-| alistic phenomena,” said the girl, .-! “l am pleased to meet you, sir,” . sald the deluded old man, rising and extending his hand warmly. “Madame Charmeuse, permit me to preseat Mr. Fenten. Yes. sir. we are in a position to kaow bejond doubt that e wred return, to mani'esi inems-lves Oy the band of the living. You are acquaini- ed with automatism?" “Not yet,” said Harry. It is pot lik_: that rou ~= 5 » sald Mr. Lawrence. “It takes time to make the spirits aware that you are here. But if you concentrate hard you may assure yourself that you will draw ; pure spirits down to these earth-bound i regions—but let us begin,” he ended, | taking his seat at a small table. l The “Medium” followed suit with | poor grace, and, & sheet of paper hav- | ing been placed under her hand, MI a pencil beside it, the lights were turned down. It was creepy—Harry ack:owledged that, But the thought of 'diss Lucy had somehow become an in«piration to | him. He felt that he must save her fortune from the grasp of the barpy opposite him. Once his band met hers and he ventured a silent pressure of good-will. He thought it was returned before the girl drew hers away. “I'm going into & trance,” an- nounced Madame cnlakrn':em “I'm going—going—hello folks!” The last was in a thin, squeaky voice which made Harry jump in his chair. “That's Joey, the Indian boy,” ex- plained Mr. Fenton. “He always comes to announce who is present.” “We can’t do much tonight” said Joey. “The spirits won't write. They say there's an unbelieving presence here which is antagonistic to their success.” “Isn't either of my wives there?” asked Mr. Lawrence. “Yep, they’re both here, but n:ey[ say they can't write,” said Joey. i “Dear me, I am sorry I am antagon- istic,” said Harry. “You get out!” squeaked JocY. “You've got no business here, and you know it.” “Papa, perhaps it would be better | to turn up the lights,” sald Lucy quickly. And the lights, turned up, showed Madame Charmeuse just com- ing out of her doze. “Did anybody come?” inquired the ‘woman, “No,” answered the old lawyer. “The influences were antagonistic. Joey said they couldn’t—" “What's this?” cried Harry, snatch- ing up the paper under the “Medi- um’s” hand. There certainly was writing on it. “My wife's writing!” exclaimed old Mr. Lawrenge, holding up.the papes.to | @i gas. “Dear Husband,” He Tead. “I write to tell you to leave all your money to Lucy. The spirits that told you not to were lying spirits using my name. Don't give them any further chance, but compare my handwriting | with thelrs.” “Good Lord!” muttered Mr. lLaw- rence, staring in amazement at the writing, as the “Medium” slipped quiet 1y out of the room, pausing only long enough to make a threatening gesture at Harry. “How can I ever thank you?” asked | Lucy six weeks later. ‘“Father has, taken the message to heart and be belleves Madame Charmeuse has evil spirits and won't see her again. And you have done all this.” “You can repay me amply,” Harry ' answered. “You see, that case I got unexpectedly for the Langbury Corpor ation has encouraged me to suggest that—do you prefer gold or platinum, ' dear?” And Lucy said gold.
