DOCTORS HATCH DEEP LAID SCHEME After rnrtnUlmc of thr Sirorjr Illi ilr. Sliiki'K MnUrft a DUrovrr) Unit I'lllo Mini with Alnrm. To tho nclRhborliood of which Forty-third nd HrlHt'Ol streets 1b tho center tho pre vailing IlelRlnn hnro madness Is a thing of raro nnd unUHUal Interest. Within tho lust twenty-four hour It hu3 etiRiiBcil tho atten tion of every mnn. woman and chllil com prehended within a radius of five blocks, and all now feel ft personal, thoiiRh Indirect, con corn In tho new "Industry." It Is because of a mishap to a person who will be known herein ns Stokes, because "Stokes" Is not his namo. Stokes Is ft nclglan hare- fancier who fancies the Hclglan hnrcs of his nclRhbors. He Is a victim of tho latest madness, with n complication of kleptomania. Dr. A. E. Attica lives at Kortythlrd and llrlstol streets. Along early In the summer tho doctor acquired two line hares, which he hoped would form tho nucleus of an Impos ing rabhltery, so ho built a high picket fence around his hack yard nnd reinforced It with wire screen. Ono nlKlit about a week later the rodents were stolen. That tho doctor was angry goes without faying, but ho was not discouraged. Thdt picket fence hadn't been built for nothing, llo tot his brains to work to figure out somo schomo to dissuade tho rabbit thief, nnd finally called Into consultation his fellow practitioner, Dr. (J. W. Tnylor, who lives less than a Mock nway. They talked the matter over at length, anticipating all tho dlflk'ultlcs presented by the problem, not the lenst nf which Is the fact Ibnt under tho htnto law rabbits arc not property. A mnn can no moro bo proierutcd for stealing a Ilclglnu hare In Nebraska than ho could be prosecuted for stealing a mnlteso cat. Hut llnally, between them, they hit upon a plan. Three weeks ago tho doctor bought nix moro rabbits. About noon Monday n little boy burst breathlessly Into the ofllco of Dr. Taylor and exclaimed: "'My pHpa Is poisoned, nnil we'ro all poisoned! Come quick!" Tho doctor, recognizing the child, winked at hlH reflection In a mirror nnd bestirred himself in thu matter of a silk hat and medicine case. "Who Is your papa?" he asked. "Mister Stokes. Oh--' "Sorry, son, but I was Just going out on nnolhcr call. Run down and get Dr. Ames; ho Just came In." Tim l.oy obeyed, and a moment later Dr. Ames wnB on hln way to the Stokes home. He wns there a half hour. On his return ho stoppcil at the office of Dr. Tnylor. Didn't IClMMV What Alleil 1 1 1 ill . After tho physicians had had their laugh, Dr. Ames explained: "Ho didn't know mo; Bcemed to think that I was you, so ho talked freely. 1 asked him what kind of poison ho had taken, and he said ho didn't know whether ho was Inoculated with scrofula or bubonic plague, but it wns something terrible. Ho'd bought some rab bits nt the market, he said, and tho rab hits had evidently como originally from some medical college that practiced vivi section, for ho found, In examining tho polls after the beasts lind been served In potple, that around tho neck of each was a little tng. Ono tag read: " 'This hnro hns been inoculated with diphtheria culture.' "The other lioro this device: " 'This hnro has been Inoculated with tuberculosis.' "From tho description of tho tags I rec ognized them ns the ones I had written out three weeks ago." "You gavo tho patients an antidote, of courso?" observed Dr. Inylor. "Well, 1 felt kind of sorry for his wlfo nnd children," replied Dr. Ames. "Thoy wero no doubt Innocent. So I recommended utrong coffee for them, and told them they'd ho all right In an hour, hut ns for Stokes himself- well, I gave him a dose of Ipecac that would sicken a horse." "That was a horse on him," said Dr. Taylor, dodging and putting up a guard, "Dut that Isn't all," resumed Dr. Ames. 'After I'd given him tho Ipecac nnd be fore It had time to take effect, I wrung a confession from htm. I made him admit he'd stolen my IJclglan hares and that four of the original bIx were still ullvo In his cellar. He's going to send them back this afternoon. "I went down cellar and had a look at the hareB and found that only two nf the four had tags on them. The chances arc that In playing about In the yard during the last three weeks nil except these two had torn tho tags off. I don't' suppose that the hares served In the potple were tagged, but that Stokes. In looking over his stock of stolen rabbits, saw the tags on these two and took it for granted that all six were Inoculated with disease germs, and that he was n dead mnn." Dr. Ames now hns four fine Ilelglan hares In his enclosuro nnd excellent prospects of keeping them. Ket'i) Vour llorvH StroiiK.
