A Professional Episode By DONALD CI IAMULRUN While the HpaiilKh-Amcrlcun war was Udiig fought a very pretty girl came Into my consulting room 1 uiu mi is'iillst with a cry sad face and surprised me hy asking mo to take out one of her eyes. My llrst supisisl tlou was that It had Ut'ii Injured un.l she dreaded that It would ulTi-et the sight of the oiher one, hut upon study lug her face for a time I saw inillca lions of uu anhalanced mind. So i simply asked her for her reasons. "I am engaged to a soldier Isiy now in Culm," she km Id. "mid be has writ ten me that a Spanish bullet took out one of bis eyes. He -.i . that bo will never permit me to sacrifice myself for him. If 1 have the same dlsllg ureineut he can't talk so." It seemed likely that the girl had hriMMjcd over her lover's misfortune and the danger of losing him till her a. Iial had Ins .,uie affected. Hut I did not la-lleve that her trouble was per iiianent. I Hied to persuade her to do something to divert her mind from her i roil I ile. hut finally, realizing the futll ity of lea miing with one siltleilng from menial depression and fearing that she might do herself ldlly In lury. 1 said to hi r ery Well. If by this day week you still feel as you do come here at o'chsk III the afternoon and I will perforin the operation " 1 wus so busy during the next week that 1 never c thought of the girl till on the afternoon I had appointed she came in promptly at the hour named It seemed to me that the shortest, the easiest and the safe t way to get rid of her would tie to pre tend to do what she asked. Ko I told her that If I took out her eye she would have to wear a bandage over It till the wound healed, otherwise she would lose the sight of her other eye Hid U-eomc totally blind I would not operate without her promise not to re move the bunduge herself or pen. .it any one else except me to do so. She gave the required promise. I made the suuie preparations us if I were ubout to perform a real agtgffl tlou, putting on my rubber apron making myself look like a but. her then called In an assistant, to whom 1 had explained what I promised to do, sud, placing the girl In an ojeratlug 'hair, directed my assistant to apply an anaesthetic. Aa soon as the pa tieut bad lost consciousness I placed a pud over the eye In question und held It lu ssdtlon by weans of bandages To complete the deception I showed her au eye In spirits. She wished in pay me for the operation, but I told ber. that being unprofessional, I would not take pay Moreover, I warned her to tell no one what I hud done, for If -in- di'l I would probably be altaaJsat i-d from my rot, - -ion. She prot to confide only in n. and Went away The girl was to come to see in.- it my request asjM a week sjajpa 1 wish , ed to keeli track of her and '.. re. ovensj per mental balance, confess to her that I had not taken out Iter eye She came once, nnd I saw that her condition was very much I lit proved. Then for thru- weeks I saw nothing of her One morning a young ma u with a green patch over one eye came Into my office, and 1 saw by bis lowering brow that be bad come to give me a piece of Ids mind, if nothing lllnl e. "What itld you mean," he ronrod, "by taking a gissl eye out of a wo man's head'" I suspected, of course, that be was the returned soldier lsy lover of the girl I bad pretended to operate on. but eoiitenlisl my serf for the present by asking him what he meant, whereupon lie told me that, having returned from the war in Cuba, his bet rot bed had told him that she bad persuaded un to make things e.pinl between them by having oVe eye removed. "And now," he said, "I've conic home with out losing my eye after all, though It will never la- as go.nl as the other one The dm tors told me they would have to take It out to save the other one. but they didn't, they saved it. I'm going to begin suit against you for malpractice at once." "What did the surgeons tell you they would have to take out your eye for . when they didn't do It, that you might not be disappointed? How do you know but that the girl who loves you has coino out better than she ex nectedT" "W'bnt do von in,-in'' "Is her mi ml alfei'iedV" I asked. Certainly not " 1 was pleased to bear this and straightway told the young man that her mind bad liecli uffceted and that I hud Mis-lMy savisl her fmai ruining her eye by pretending to take It mil lie seled my luiuil Joyfully and, not contented with this, threw both his arms about in neck "Where Is my patient?" I askisl "111 the iinteriHilil " "tiling her In here, and I will give her a surprise. Inn't disabuse her. I.eul e it to me." Ile went out and brought In the girl I saw at once that she had recovered her mental balance, and she looked at mi? reproachfully. 1 sat her down Is- f a mirror and proceeded leisurely to take off the bandage, then removed the pad To see her face when she saw her two eyes ill her head lighted up with delight 111 every feature was one of the pleasantest episodes In my i ' sloiial career of course I was obliged to attend the wedding. Sharpening a Psncll. An expert manual training man talk ed wltti the writer alxnit so simple a thing us sharpening a lead pencil. In the llrst place, he says, the knife should not Is- oversharp. but should tie u little dull, us if too sharp It will cut quickly through the wood und cut awuy the let d. Then, again, he says, it is best to hold the pencil in the left band w Ith the end to be sharpened pointing awuy from you und to cut away with a pushing cut rather than toward you with u drawing cut. as then tin on. I of the pel, i II la rested against the side of the thumb und is sharpened by u druw cut stroke of the knife blade Scientific American. PRESTER JOHN.
