At 1 o'clock lu the morning a man
who was looking for a doctor found
a door plate ou which he distinguished
tlie words. "Night bell," aud rang tho
bell. When the door opened and a
figure appeared In the semidarkness
of tbe ball he said:
"Hurry up, please. There is a sick
woman nt No. 132.”
The man Inside said “All right,” and
In n few seconds both men were rac­
ing dowu tbe street to No. 132. Iu the
top floor front room lay a very sick
woman. The uewcouier pulled a small
table to the bedside aud took from bls
pocket a sheet of paper aud a fouutalu
pen.
"What on enrth are you doing with
that?” said the man who had summon­
ed him. “You're a nice doctor, you
are.”
"Doctor?" echoed tbe man. "I'm not
