4.3« 24 DIED FROM SHOCK Seized with a heart attack, Elizaâ€" beth Morris, wife of Bradford M. Butt, dropped dead in the kitchen of her home, 100 Oak Street, Galt.

They were business lumoll nowâ€"Hubert and Edith: If it had not been for Captain and Mrs. Leafy, who came in each day l to weed and water the flowers, their garden at Old Quay would soon have Iibeen in a sorry state. The kitchen ! furnace bad not been lighted for ten days and, though Rdith did the daily round of duty, she felt that she would be shamed for ever if her m ther‘s eye took in the result. Why, it was dirtier, untidier than . . . than @ue‘s room on Fridays‘! But Huâ€" bert, with the true masculine toler ance for dust, which sets most woâ€" men crazy, never even noticed the difference. "Hubert, we have got to get in some money. We can‘t send a debt collector, because it‘s not legal. And, if it were. it would only frighten peoâ€" ple away. But there are lots who can pay and won‘t. They do pay the big doctorsâ€"a â€" guinea | Or two | gwineasâ€"yes, before they go in. We work among poor people, but people \who would pay if they only knew they had to. Fancy, Hubert, there are men. hundreds of them, in the yard who make from four to five pounds a week. Now, I know you will ery out thet it‘s lowering the dignity of the profeseion, and so On. But we have to live, you and I." > ‘‘Well," said Edith, "I know these ‘Thorsby folk. I ought to. I was iborn here. I have lived among them all my life. If they can get anything for nothing, they wou‘t pay. If they can‘t, they will think all the more f the thing ‘because they have to pay for it." â€" Edith put the matter to her hus bad plainly â€" oL. â€" "I will do anything that is not forâ€" bidden by the Medical Council," said Hubert. "God knows I have no reaâ€" son to be proud." |rlght. MHad he not deliberately chosen that life, why then should he | hesitate? Great doctors made their :footmen exact their guineas before ushering their patients into the preâ€" sence. Hubert with his aixpenny and ehilling turnstileeâ€"well, that 'rn‘de no matter. The principle was the same. And Hubert, tangled somehow in an intrigue too deep for him, took hi# het and followed the little blue toque with the feather pointing deâ€" cidedly forward. + A gasâ€"jet shone within. The fanâ€" light was brilliantly illuminated. Edith ‘knocked and the outâ€"and> outer opened. A strange man ap peared, a huge screwdriver with a twoâ€"foot crossbar handle in his grasp. ‘The anteâ€"chamber was the eame as Hubert had left it, seated round and round, a stove in the fire place, white German tiles alternate ly with the deep blue of the latest pseudoâ€"Dutch. ‘The table in the middle was strewn profeseionally with the latest penny papers, which at least were a change from the Punch and the Graphic of ten weeks But what staggered Hubert was the curious ‘barrier in biackâ€"andâ€" gold metal which surrounded the door into the surgery. In it were two turnstiles, each fitted with a brase slot. Over that to the right was the inscription: Consultations One Shilling wWIPPH OR WITHOUT MEDICINE â€"‘"Wellâ€"what‘s coming out of that clever little head now?" smiled Hubert. "Come up and see, Hubert, if you have finished your supper!" 0 "Up to the surgery; it should be fixed by now." â€" â€" â€" N/B.â€"Please put the Shilling in the Slot and the Gate will Open. Over the other, to the left, Hubert read the words: ‘This Gete for Yardsmen and their Families only. ‘CONSULTATION SIXPANCE Hubert shrank back. "Edith, I can‘t," he said, "what would the others say* What would my fatherâ€"*" Then it was the fate of Dr. Huâ€" bert Salveson to learn yet a little more of the wife he had married. He had never seen her temper? Loverâ€"like he fancied she had not got one. ‘‘The others!" she said scornfully, "your father! What have the ethere, what has your father done for you? Only stood in your way, and tried to prevent you working. Now I am helping you to work. Its‘ this, Huâ€" bert, or we can‘t pay our way. It‘s common honesty, that‘s all!" It was on the question of money that Edith was adament; not to be rich, mark you, but that others should at least treat them with momething of that samg "common honesty" she used hemefi(. GAS BVEGSS 4 ivgsicomk _ AuNT â€" »MATL Hubert laughed. She was right, that wondrous girl. She was always lessly, fearful lest he should stop her, "as they come in, gach pationt must take a ticket out of this box at the outer door and come through the gates in order of arrival." "Do you think they will understand ftwoleviflW?"utd the outandâ€"Outer. "I have my ‘‘Well," said Riith, "we have got to teach them, thats‘ all. 1 will, and Howard Stanley, when there‘s noâ€" body eise. 'l‘llrt of them can read, and there x'l!l be somebody willing to expiain. And you, father, will drop in of an evening on your way home, and Sue too. Oh, we‘ll teach them. It‘s only getting startâ€" "and besides," said Edith, deterâ€" mined to have aH over at once, ‘I‘ve got ‘Formerly House Surgeon at East Dene Hospital,‘ added to the plate; and oh, Hubert, I wish you would Jet me have your diplomas framed, especially the one ‘with honours‘!‘ They would look «plenâ€" dig." "Nonsense! blame me," . sald Edith ; "besides _ everybody in Thorsby knows that you are not a quack. You are your father‘a sonâ€"" woret vials." "I won‘t! I shan‘t!" cried Hubert, stamping first married stamp on the floor. ‘ The outâ€"andâ€"outer laughed. "It atrikes me," he sald, "that this business is going to be run as a business." And the turnstile fitter, busy with his ‘big ecrewâ€"driver and much amused, was of the same opinion. He resolved on the spot to have no more doctor‘s ibills. CHAPDER XLI Work and Overwork The innovetion succeeded. â€"It was much talked about. In general the elder practitioners only laughed, and kept the news as a choice thorn to prick the surgeonâ€"general withal. They would congatulate him on his «on‘s success. Only Dr. Budden was ‘really angry. He went about breathâ€" ing threatenings and sleughter. He would bring the subject up at the next British Medical Council as "de rogatory to the dignity of the proâ€" fession." Hubert‘s former comrades came over from East Dene to scoff at Salveson. They remained, howâ€" ever, to lend a hand. ‘The steady stream of consultants astonished as much as Edith attracted them. They liked seeing her busy with her cashbox (which she took to be locked up in ‘Mr. Gilmerton‘s safe every night), busy with her dispensâ€" ing and the overseeing of the crowd in the waltingâ€"room, so that she had neither eyes nor ears for the emart young men from East ‘Dene, Yet they liked even that and took off their coats to be allowed ‘to stay. ‘‘They‘ll call me a quack," said Hubert, a little uncertainly. . _ ‘But after the first five months were over, Edith began to look a little pale. Her eyes were big and radiant; perhaps too radiant. And old Dr. Growling, who looked in often in passing (he had a rich famâ€" ily practice in the West End and this did not at all concern him), said to Hubert: "That‘s it," said Dr. Growling; "you must gét an assistant. Pull down your barns and build greater. Let your wife have an easier time, orâ€"well, you know as well as I do!" Hubert started. He had seen Edith so continuously that_he had noticed nothing. But certainly she seemed pale, far too pale. She was, however, in the highest aptrits. The business was paying. ‘They had made over sixty pounds clear, and as for the wholesale drug people, their bill was in the back of the fire long ago. ‘"And please God," said Edith devoutly, "they would never have to grant another." _ ‘"‘You Rad better my boy. You are too hard." "Iâ€"" exclaimed Hubert. I can to keep her at home is never out of the place!" About this time, curiously enough, there was a burglar «care in Thorsby. One dark November afterâ€" noon the eafe at Old Quay Cottage was opened, and a window in the gaâ€" bie left wp. Edith rejoiced. She had had the forethought to put their money in their landlord‘s strongâ€"box, from which she took it heteelf twice a week. There was nothing in James Pritchard‘s old safe except certain papers of no particular value. ‘These had deen looked at and left behind. The police found no clue. Stil}l Hubert did not like to leave his wife too much alone after that. He had a oonnect?hn made through the ®brick wall atthe back, as well as in front, to the cottage occupied by Captain and Mrs. Leafy. Still alt would not serve. Rdith had been too completely shocked by her adventure with Jo Ghaiioner ever to be thoroughly comfortable alone in Old Quay iCottage; and in deed the place was overâ€"lonely for a young wife. â€" â€" They taiked the matter over in the dark hours, and agreed that at the New Year the Outâ€"andâ€"outer and his wife, with Sue and Will, should come 7® o \tK§ j > look to your wife, making her work Hubert.

An analysie of the accident statistics furnished by Motor Vehicles Branch of the Onâ€" tario Department of Highways, inâ€" dicates clearly that there is no hour during night or day, in any reason or under any conditions, when either motorist or pedestrian can afford to take a chance. 1,283 accidents occurred in the province Oof Ontario last year be tween midnight and breakfast time. Most of these accidents took place because drivers, concluding there waesn‘t much competition for rightâ€" ofâ€"way, stepped on the accelerator just a little harder than usual and took it for granted that the apâ€" proaching intersection or blind curve would be clear. If you drive a motor vehicle of any kind, the next time you are tempted to relax vigilence because the hour is early and traffic lightâ€"don‘t. 1,283 Motor Vehicle Accidents Occurred in enough air. ‘What‘s your occupa tion ?" to Oid Quay Cottage, dwelling rent free; amd that they themseives should take the vacant house next door to, and above the eurgery with entrance at No. 3, Dunham Street.

But after it was arranged, Master ‘Will announced his intention of "going into lodgings." He was getâ€" ting "fifteen bob a week" and could make a bit more by overtime. He was not going to vegetate in a hole, nor yet "liye on our Bde‘s coatâ€"taile." Sue, however, had no auch scruâ€" ples.

And at last it was only the proâ€" duction of the copy of the wiill (which allowed saile but forbade letting) and her daughter‘a picture of the "place going to wrack and ruin" which moved Mrs. Dillingham to pity.
