I remomlior 1 was reading in in.s ollleo early in tho morn ing, when a visitor was announced, who sent word ho wished to soo mo at onrc and on important business. 1 laid ulilo my hook ind Invited him in. Ho looked llko an honest, hard-working meehanie. It is rather a painful subject to mo, doctor, ho said, "but I havo thought It over for MHoral days, and Dually mado up my mind that tho host thing I could do would ho to consult a phy sician who understood Insanity. I lmvo been directed to como to Jim. 1 would llko you to pass your opinion on my wifos mental condition. Sho has oxhiblti d symptoms of insanity for a lonjr time, and has now become so violent that 1 am actually in fear of my life. 1 want to send her to an asylum v.-hero sho will bo well treated, and wheio she may bo cured. '" My visitor spoke in a tone that was half fearful and half bolieltous. llo gave mo an address in tho tenement, district on tho east sido. I told him my engagements would not permit mo to visit hit homo for ft day or two, but that 1 would go as soon us I could. No other time but !) o'clock would do. His wife was ut homo during tho day, ho said, but for reasons which ho would not explain ho did not want tho oxuminatlon muilo then. Wo went in quite eat ly and sat down In tho front room that served for u purlor. Tho husband, who wan rather an under sized man, was trombllng from head to foot. I.'o partly screened himself behind tho policeman. "Well," said I, "whoro Is tho pa tient0" .Juijt us I spoko a buxom Irishwoman came in, wiping her humid on her apron.

An' how aro ye, docthor? Suro 1 haven't laid eyes on yo slnco yo sent Jimmy there to tho asylum. Poor sowi! Ho got hotter an1 they lot him out, but ho s as bad as over now." I turned quickly and got a good look at tho man's faco before ho darted for tho door, which ho did tho moment his wife opened her mouth. 1 had forgotten him entirely, but when tho woman recalled tho case I romombeml having signed u certillcato testifying to his insanity three or four years bo fore. Ho was u parauoalo, and tho logical delusion that possessed him was siitllciently ingenious to deceive mo, which It did as 1 havo related. CONDUCTOR WAS HORRID.
