He liked a man of his own ilk, but he
hated, as he said, "them as put on airs
bokas they'd mod a bit o" money."
Accompanying him was Vclasqtiot. the
man whom Wilcox despised above all the
many despicable pooplu he had mot in
tho course of a lonj life limit.
"Hello," said Wilcox, in his free and
easy manner, to tho Justice, "what's

said the Justice, "but you may rost as

"Ah, by od. that ho shall," said thu

Then he crossed over to Anton and
said: "Cheer up old lsiy and keep a tfood

Then turning' to Velasquez, bo said:
"And as for you, I dupiost) now that

Thl i threw a new light on altalrs and
Mrs Dclaru was amtizod. Why had hvi
husband given Velasquez a note at
thirty days for such an amount of
money? She was utterly unable to
solve the rldillo, and at onco sought her
tdd friend for aid.
This Is what old Jool Wilcox, the
millionaire, s.ild about It: "You kin

big millionaire, and said "Mr. Wilcox,

So Wilcox naturally thought this
would ho a g-ool starling point.
On entering ll.o oiBce, ho Inquired for
Mr. l'-..mlll, and was usberod Into the
gentlmnn'a prliato room.
As soon as Mr. t'randall hoard tho
naino ot lilt tailor ho uricltel up bis
ears and was Immediately prepared to
net aa ouu-qulousl.r as an olrtflulous
man possibly could, under such elranm-
Sluices.
Tor Joel Wilcox was a well-known
man In Krlsco, his enormous wealth
being a matter o( (mbllc gossip, and
the little Ivnv-oytsl broker thought ho
was In (or a good stroke of business, hit
ot course surmising thai lb.) millionaire
was on the lookout for 1111 investment.
Ill this, as we know, he was doomed
todtviptmlntmont, Tho broker foresvw
what was coming when Mr. Wilcox
asked:
"Do you know If I.eon Velasquez Is In
town, Mr Crandall?" Now. the
broker and Velaxiies were "Ihisoui
cronies," having workitl many quiet
and sometimes nbndy deals together.
Still, the broker was by far tho
hrowtlur of the two men, and while
Velasquez brought the lambs to the
laughter Crandall managed to catch
most of the blood. Therefore, when
this question wns suddenly sprung upon
him he was diH-ltltslly surprised, Itul at
the same time was tot) old In the busi
ness to lietray any undue agitation.
"Mr. Velasquez. Ah, yes, I rciiicmb"r
him now; the gentleman from San l'ao
la?" he said, with assumed iudillore tiro.
"Hut why do you come here in search of
that gentleman, Mr. Wilcox: It Is hardly
probable that 1 should be aware of tho
fact liven If ho did happon to bo In town.
Ills calls hero are oxcetsllngly few nml

sat at Ills iltmk in Hie public olllce.
"Well." said Mr. Wilcox. "I havo
been Informed that he had a good matiy
business transactions with you and thai
this would be a likely place to tlml him."
"Yes," the litiln broker responded,
"Mr. Velasquez certainly did have somo
business to transact with hid but his

formal nature, and we woro not on such

"I am not thu sort of man to bo it
around the bush, and I may as well bo
plain with you," said Mr. Wilcox.
'You have of course, heart) of my
friend Mario Delaro's murder near his
own wlnu cellars on the night of
the twenty-llrsl of last mouth?"
"Yes, I did hear ot the sal occur
auce," was tho rejoinder. Joel Wilcox
continued: "Tho week Itoforo that inur
tier Mr. Dolaro told mo of a ileal ho
made with you, though Velasquez, In
some mining stock that paid big, and
I'm here as a representative ot Delaro's
widow to know if the matter lias ever

"Yes, I hollovn It hr.," replied
Crandall; "hut to make sure I will step
around to the olllce of the broker who
sold the stock for Velasquez and in
quire If the money has been paid," .t -lug
which he rose to go and huude.l Mr.
Wilcox a iieivitpuer to road during his

As soon as Crandall had gone Joel
W ilcox muttered to himself: "Well, I

Delaro on his hooks, at least I couldn't

He was not left to his thoughts vory
long, for, no sooner wai ('ran tail's back

to come Into thu room with n bundle of

AN ECCCfs-IHIC DOCTOR.
The Quaint Wu) ,.f s Nur-rful Nrw
thiflniul flf.llr.it Mxn.
Dr. Charles Wild prnclict-d motliclnn
In HrsHikline, Msss , in tho days when
people insisted upon taking largo doses
of calomel, rhubarb, Jalap, plcrn, ipts-ac,
antimony and countless other drugs,
and oil being blistered nml bled. The
doctor was tsjtial to tho occasion, and
gave his patient their money's worth
of physio and service w hen they could
stvure his attendance.
I'or the do. tor was a dllllcult man lo
find, ami, wh.-n found, to Impress with
the itlea Uiat ho was actually needed.
I'nless the easo was represented as a
matter of life and tlettli, ho was apt to
delay bis visit until tho patient had re
covered or tiled. Those who hunted for
him, knowing bis habits of going from
one patient to another, without going
home for a day or 11 night, used to go
thlough tho slieeUs looking for "old
Sal," his sorrel mare, and his familiar
old buggy, Htamllng lieforo somo house
door.
Hut such was tho publlo eonlldeiico In
him, thai In ordinary lllneet people
would wait his tardy lsll rather than
send (or another phvslcinu. I
Tho author ot "SkeU-hes of llrooV-'
llnti" tlescrlbs him as entering a house
in the breety way, stamping olf the
snow or thu mud, throwing otf his over
coat mid letting down his black leather
pouch, with noise enough for three men.
Ills salutation, Uttered In a deep, grulf
voice, wai likely to Ik, If the utlent
was an acquaintance:
"Well! w-!l! what kind of n kick-up
have you gut now?" j
He gave nlCiiiames lo the children, '
and would aik: "How's Nli-odcmus to
da) '." or: "Well! Is lohabthl s ttsith
ready for the Ian.-" this morning? " A
iriemt.s child, who 10 name was Flor
ence, hocalltsl "lioine," ".Milan," or by
M'lernl other lliillan cities.
A meuiberof his family, w hlle making
out tho doctor's bills, was peri. le veil bi
ll charge iism the Urnks of a visit ti
"Don Sebastian." On inquirv it prowsl
to bo the hlt-kiiiimu of 11 cluhl of tho
CnUit faintly.
W hen the doctor had studlisl the case
ami given the patit lit his dose of medi
cine, bo would, ( there was cause (or
anxiety, seltle hlmsi ,1 tor a nodal visit
of two or three hours, during a hich he
told droll stories, ami acted Hu m out to
till) amusement of thu chi..lreii, who
wnro very fund of him. It th case was
Herious lie was grave ami silent, catch
ing tiles, If ll.ore were any to cateh. or
1 walketl there in in tleep thought.
I The tits tor was more than a physician,
I bii was the counselor ol bis patients,
j who eontiiltisl him Uhiii nil sorts ot
! matters, from choosing a wife or a bus
' baud to building 11 lieiwthip. Ills opin
ion wns an authority that tow disputed,
for his good sense w.h 1.0I1I0111 al fault.
lllsquaint humor, on b.iiing.i sick
room, would ofton express itself tu some
Hiioh salutation as this: "Nun K you can't
steep well ami don't know what to
do, you can amuse your-oU w Ith taking
an omelic." -Youth's Companion, j
