He generally found it, and, being the kind who picks upon a smaller man by preference, he usually gave better than he got. The doc was a young fellow, and Pretty Miss Lida, old man Pearce’s daughter, who had been East to school, seemed to like him well enough. It made most of the boys rather sore to 8ee a pretty, clever girl like that take up with such a little runt. However, that was her business and nobody thought any the less of the little doc for succeeding where sq many of the rest had failed. Besides, there was an epidemic of typhoid that fail, and everybody was pretty much scured.{ Nobody knew who was going to be the next victim, and the doc was' working with might and main to shut | Off the spread of the disease, However, he fouad time to it for & half hour on Miss Lida's stoop oec- casionally, and fan himself with a palm leaf. The boys who used to go there and weren't invited €0 much now used to grit their teeth and go around a block so as to avoid seeing him. But still, it wasn't a case for & personal grudge. At least, except with Dutchy, who, being naturally a boor, and never hav- ing succeeded in making any impres- slon on Miss Lida’'s heart, set out to i “fl. | 1 “That's All Right, Dutchy.” I | be ugly.

P— For however small a man may be, it is expected that he will do something when he gets a hit across the mouth instead of picking himself up and smil- ing, as the doc had done. And Miss Lida was certainly placed in an un- comfortable Pposition, for no girl likes going with a coward. Three days after the Dutchy’s friend Hinkman ul::h:: ning into the doc’s office. “Dutchy’s got the fever, doc,” he sald. “You won't remember what he did to you, doc? He's scared out of his wits, doc, and thinks he's going to die” “All right,” answered the doc. He £ot up and went round to the shack, in which Dutchy lay upon his bed, ' tossing and muttering deliriously. It was the last case in Sapphire, but it was the worst. The doc had pulled the rest through without a single dis- aster, but this seemed hopeless from the first.

Mrs. Melledge, president of the Village Civic league, feit very much satisfied with her selection of Corinne Long as Martha Washington to lead thomrchinthemeembenven bhy‘thc organization on the approach- patriotic holiday. She had al- ways been fond of Corinne, and when ; the girl had been forced through war time conditions to earn her own liv- ing she had been glad to help her to | get a dancing class in the city. “I'll have the sweetest little Martha Washington you ever saw,” she told Mrs. Ramsey at a committee meeting on the following day. “And wait till you see my George Washington!” Mrs. Ramsey counter enthused. “And he dances perfectly. I'm fortunate in being able to secure circle in town.” The members of the committee doc put in nearly all his time with | Were naturally curious as to the iden- Dutchy.

Much the valley of the shadow. It was an awtul time, said Hinkman. Dutchy dimly recognized the doc and thought he was trying to poison him. Sometimes he fought so hard that it was all they could do to keep him from jumping out of the window. The little doc showed a good deal of | strength, Hinkman reported, in such | encounters. Finally Dutchy, out of danger, and ] weighing about one-third as much as he had done, lay on the bed, conscious, and looking up at the doc with a sort | of dumb dog gratitude expression. “Doc,” he had the grace to say, “I'm sorry.” “That’s all right, Dutchy,” the little doc answered, smiling. The days passed, and evidently the doc had succeeded in squaring himself with Miss Lida, for they sat together on the stoop every afternoon now. And there was not a man in ! camp but vowed the doc was a white man, and that he would give his life rather than let anyone say the op- posite, or lay a finger on the doc again. Well, Dutchy went North to con- valesce, and at last the day came when he stood before the doc, who was still sitting on Miss Lida’s porch —they being now engaged—and spoke up much less sheepishly, but still sort of ashamed. “Doc, I've come back and I want to thank you,” he began. “That's all right, Dutchy,” ca-wered the dnc. “Are you ready now?”’ “Ready? For what?" asked Dutchy. “Why, for your thrashing,”’ an- swered the doc, as it surprised, and he went down. “Put 'em up, Dutchy,” he sald. “You see, I couldn't strike & s!ck man, and I knew by your look and your pulse that you were getting ready for a siege with typhoid. But now I'm going to lick you.” Which he certainly did. When it was over Dutchy’'s face couldn’t have been recognized by his own mother. But then we found out that the doe had been the featherweight champion at Princeton. “Now come along to the surgery, and I'll sew up your wounds. No charge,” said the little doc. Dutchy was the sort that couldn’t rest until he got even. He threw the shoe after the wedding and struck the doc behind the ear. That settled all scores. CUSTOM OF TEA DRINKING Love Brewed the First Cup, According to a Legend Believed in China. | Interest was manifested in the ap- | proaching ball. | When Corinne arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Melledge and was | placed before a cheerful hickory fire in the great dining room, she sighed more contentedly than she had sighed | on any evening since she had become | a wage earner in the great city. This was her first real holiday, and she felt, once more, like the old Corinne who used to be a member of house parties in fashionable suburbs, with dancing and gayety in prospect. How little she had appreciated her care- free existence of those days. How little! “You haven't showed the slightest interest in your gown, Corinne," said Mrs. Melledge, as she approached the fire and sat on the arm of the girl's chair. “Don’t you want to see it?" Corinne slipped her hand into that of her friend and sighed. “Where is it? And my partner? Has he come?” she asked.

AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA “He’s to be here tonight, Marden Drew, no less, my dear!” Corinne shrank into the corner of her chair. “Marden Drew! Oh, Mrs. Melledge—I—oh, why did you select him?" Mrs. Melledge stood up and looked searchingly at the girl. “Why—what’s the matter, dear? Do you know him?" Corinne covered her face with her hands. “Know him? I—should say— I—did know him.” At last Corinne looked up. “Isn’'t tiere someone else who could lead this march, dear Mrs. Melledge? I just can't do it with—Marden," she said. “Nonsense—why not?” Mrs. Mell- edge tried to laugh off what threat- ened to be a tragic ending of her plans. “He—we were engaged” Corinne began. “When I had to leave home and find employment 1 told him I could not marry him because—oh, well, you know how a girl feels who has always had all 1 had.” Mrs. Melledge put her arms about the girl. “Don’t you suppose this is fate—this chance coming together, dear?” she asked. “Oh—I don’t know,” sobbea Corinne, her head down on her arms. “I-—I was thinking of him when you came in, and—oh, T am so tired. Let me g0 to bed and I'll promise to behave tomorrow and—do what is best. I'm sorry to be so silly,” she sald, rising, her arm across her face like that of a little girl trying to hide her tears. Mrs. Melledge followed her. “If you like, dear—Oh, Herbert!" she ex- claimed, meeing the form of her hu band in the door. “Quick, Corinne,’ to the girl. It you're a man you'll come down: The Chinese claim to be the first : Herbert Melledge was followed by from behind a woman's skirts and talk face to face!" screamed Dutchy. The little doc came down. Miss Lida let out a cry, but there wasn't anything to be done, for Dutchy was a big man and he could have smashed Phil and Jim with a blow of his fist, to say nothing of the little doc. The doc came up to Dutchy and looked keenly into his eyes. “Ha, the furor Teutonicus, I see!” he sald to himself, as though sum- ming up the condition of a patient. And then, while Dutchy was still slowering him with insults, he caught hold of his hand and felt his pulse, quite in a professional way. 1 “You'd best go home to bed, Dutchy,” said the little doc. Dutchy stared at the doc in speech- less anger for a few moments. Then | he shot out his big fist and caught the | doc on the mouth, knocking him down and cutting his lip open. “Have you spunk enough to fight, you little shrimp?” he roared. The little doc, very pale, stood be- fore Dutchy, not attempting to defend | himself. “Ho!" roared Dutchy. “Nice sort | of man you're going to get, Miss Lida. Why, I'd fight the little whippersnap- per with otfe hand tied behind me.” Then, being somewhat pleased with his work, Dutchy permitted Duggan and Moffat to lead him home, still breathing out threats of what he was going to do to the doc next time he caught him on Lida's porch. What Miss Lida said to him is un- known, for she sat in a sort of daze while the little doc was being knocked down. However, It was noticed that | ———————————————————————————— Virtue of Gooa Manners.
