Dr. Perry closed his office door with
sigh of relief.
"It is hard for a doctor to snatch a
holiday," the housekeeper said. "You
must hurry, sir, or you'll miss your
train." '
Haste and excitement lent anima
tion to a face usually! wooden in ex
pression. Always a pleasure to visit
his mother, Dr. Perry joyfully antici
pated the present holiday because the
girl be was to marry was to be a
guest, also. He was stepping into the
automobile when his housekeeper
called him:
Dr. Raymond wants you at the
telephone."
Reluctantly he turned back.
"Can you come to me at once. Jack?
am in desperate trouble. Gordon, is
dying."
The boyish excitement vanished as
Dr. Perry answered:
"I will be with you as quickly as
possible."
Dying!" he pondered as he sped
onward. "Incredible! He was doing
so well last night."
Gordon was a friend who had fallen
ill at a hotel and bad been moved to
the doctor's house. Raymond was
Jack's best friend. He was greatly
beloved and skillful, with one weak
ness, recurring at long intervals.
I.ara in an awful position, Jack."
were the doctor's first words. "I know
you will help me. I dare not ask any
one else." With a gesture that told
everything, he pointed at two vials.
"The wrong one I fear I've done for
him!"
One glance showed Jack that the al
coholic craving bad returned, hence
the mistake. As they talked they
neared the sickroom.
'You may rely on me. certainly.
Raymond."
'Thank you. Nurse may suspect.
but she's loyal."
Jack had a talent for rapid diag
nosis. The holiday face was gone;
the physician resumed mastery. The
patient, at first glance, seemed to be
past human aid. Heroic treatment
would be necessary. Raymond and
Nurse Anna felt the relief of trusting
strong will. In the absorption of
science and the effort to save life.
mother and sweetheart were complete
ly set aside. Now they despaired:
again they were rewarded by hope.
At a critical moment Dr. Raymond col
lapsed, j
Again the work went on. At mid
night a servant handed Jack a tele
gram. Acute anguish convulsed his
countenance as he read:
'Mother dangerously ill. Wants you.
Dr. Montgomery with her.
"ELINOR."
His precious mother dying, needing-
him, and he pledged to help a stranger!
It was terrible. If he could but wake
Raymond. Going to the bed he shook
him, only to see him doze again under
the Influence of the narcotic.
God help me! I've burned mv
ships," Jack groaned. "Oh! Mother.
mother! I gave my word! You would
bid me keep it." .
He sent a message: "
"Impossible to leave till
Critical case. Love to mother. Ask
Montgomery to stay. JACK."
An hour later came a telegram from
his fiancee:
"Come at once. Mother worse.
"AGNES."
Great beads stood on the son's fore-
head as he ministered to the stranger.
Suddenly he responded to the treat
ment.
In the library of the homestead
Agnes Armitage paced, paused at the
French window to peer into the night.
longing for the rumble of wheels bring
ing her fiance. '
"Elinor!" she raved. "This Is cruel!
I will never forgive him never! To
refuse to come to his dying mother! A
critical case Indeed! Any one could
attend to a stranger. There is abso
lutely no excuse for him."
The girls went again to the mother's
room, no one needed Agnes. She re
turned to the library, woefully disap
pointed In the man she loved. Cruel,
she deemed him. In their brief en
gagement there had been one flaw
jealousy not personal but of his work,
ofMhe absorption, the 'power of enn!
centratlon that excluded her. Foolish
little woman! Had she but known life
better she would have, rejoiced that a
great ambition possessed him.
Above, the stricken mother lay,
sinking. Always her eyes watched the
door.
"The last train will bring him. moth
er," Elinor said, softly.
"Take this," Dr. Montgomery coaxed.
"It will give you strength to see
Jack."
With an effort she took the medicine
she bad refused before. It stimulated
the failing heart
"If we can carry her over the hour
when vitality la lowest I will have
hope," the old doctor whispered to
Elinor. The chill, gray dawn crept
through the casement. Birds twittered.
The melancholy that comes after a
night's watching gripped the hearts of
the nurses. Elinor reared that the
grayness was creeping over her moth
er's face. At the window she listened.
Ah! Wheels on the gravel!
"Mother!" she cried In agony. "Walt
for Jack! He's coming!"
' A step on the stair, and Jack had
come!.
"Mother! Little mother!"
On his knees, be kissed the dear
hands, the wrinkled cheeks Ineffable
Joy lighted the fine old face.
I was slipping into the dark, laddie.
I waited for you," she murmured, faint
.ly. "I'll stay now, please God."
Then Jack took possession of the
room, sending doctor and nurse to
rest. Alone with his mother, he
stroked her hands. Contented, she
slept. For hours neither stirved. With
a wealth of love and gratitude her son
watched. When the nurse relieved
him he thought of Agnes, resting un
der the home roof.
He found the family at breakfast.
Agnes was silent. Dr. Montgomery
talked of the patient Elinor asked no
questions. The old doctor, quick to
read faces, saw trouble ahead. Agnes
left the room. A maid let a door
bang. Both men started nervously.
Those who had been calm in a great
crisis were unnerved. Jack followed
Agnes to the library. It would be
soothing to rest on her sympathy.
"Dearest," he said softly, laying a
caressing hand on the bright brown
hair.
"Why did you not come. Jack?
What patient in the wide world kept
you "from your mother?"
There was scorn in the tone re-
proach and sadness. He who had been
strong was weak before her. j
"It was life or death," he an
swered. "And your mother hovered between
life and death! Who was she pre- I
f erred to a mother?" j
The doubt stung.
"I do not discuss my patients,
Agnes."
Yet had she trusted, something
might have been said without disloy
alty to Dr. Raymond. The moment
passed. She doubted. Both were over
wrought It was not the moment
for argument So, with tempers tried
words were spoken to be bitterly re
gretted.
"Take back your ring, Jack. You
are free."
The sweetness of summer came in,
but it brought no soothing. Through
Jack's set lips no reassurance came.
Stern, severe, as youth can be, Agnes
refused forgiveness.
"Then it's good-by, dear? But 1
wish you could have trusted me un
proved." Kissing her forehead, he went out
by the window, to disappear beyond
the graperies. When he returned he
did not see her. Again he became
nurse. When next he came down
stairs 'Elinor told him that Agnes had
gone.
A month later Elinor motored with
her brother to the golf club.- Alone
on a corner of the veranda she looked
up to see Dr. Raymond. His face was
beautiful. A new light illuminated It.
To himself and his friend he had kept
the vow registered on that fateful
night Henceforth he was "master oC
his soul." Elinor had always been
his ideal. Hitherto he had felt that
he had no right to seek her. To-day
he sank gladly into the seat beside
her. Jack was on the lawn with a
group of golfers. Dr. Raymond eyed
him keenly.
"What's wrong with Jack, Elinor?
He's gone to a shadow."
Instinctively the girl knew she
might speak.
i"You know he and Agnes have bro
ken their engagement"
"Impossible! They were made for
each other. Surely it is a passing
cloud."
"It's past mending, I'm afraid. But
if anyone can help ' us I believe you
can. Mother and I think it hinges on
some question of professional ethics
somebody's secret that puts him in a
wrong light."
Then she told him of hen mother's
sudden illness their night of sus
pense and the outcome.
Dr. Raymond listened silently. The
voice that said: "Thank you, Elinor,"
was husky. With a gesture habitual
to him when touched deeply, he cov
ered his eyes with his left hand.
As Elinor spoke Dr. Raymond
sprang to his feet. ,
"Wait for me here, please."
Quickly he crossed the lawn to
Agnes. Plunging into the story, he
began:
"Agnes, I am going to confess and '
throw myself on your mercy. We
were boy and girl together. You know
my fault You were brave enough and
kind enough to lecture me because of
it God helping me, it is overcome at
last, thanks to your Jack."
' "Not my Jack. It's all" over."
"It's not over, Agnes.. Listen!"
Again he told the story.
"He would keep his plighted word,,
Agnes. He would not see me dishon
ored, my career spoiled. Now, child, i
tell the world. Clear him. Strong'
enough to sacrifice mother, wife, hap-',
piness, for friendship and honor. Be1
proud, Agnes, proud and glad."
"How can I look him in the face
again?" the girl cried, sadly. "I failed
him. I doubted. Lately I have known'
it but I was too proud to call him'
back. Tell the world! Never! He
would not permit such treachery."
"Ah! Here they come."
Elinor and Jack crossed the smooth;
green turf and stood before them. Dr.
Raymond sprang to his feet Grasp
ing the hand of his friend he wrung,
it hard.
"Confessions are in order. Jack. Let
Agnes do her share. Come, Elinor."
Drawing her to a quiet nook he'
pleaded for her love. But what he
said or what she answered has noth-:
ing to do with the story.
Bings This is a hard, hard, old
world.

The Good Word
That Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is to-day and hasi for over
40 years, been the standard Blood-puri-fyer,
Stomach Strengthener and Liver
Invigorator sold by druggists. It's not
a secret nostrum but, a medicine of
known composition a medicine so
good that the best physicarfs prescribe
it knowing that its ingredients, which
are printed on its outside wrappers and
attested under oath, are the best known
to medical science for the diseases for
which it is advised.
The oTpnr siircpss of Tit. Pierce's
CJnlden Mpdiral Tliscoverv in curins weak stomachs, wasted bodies,
weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the rec
ognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden Medical Discov
ery" supplies Nature with body-building, tissue-repairing, muscle
making materials, in condensed and concentrated form. With this
help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to di
gest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering ob
stinate coughs. The "Discovery" re-establishes the digestive knd
nutritive organs in sound health, purifies and enriches the blood,
' and nourishes the nerves in short establishes sound vigorous health.
