When 1 was alKuit to prejiare myself for the mi'll leal profession I fully con sidered tbtsquestlou and concluded that 1 must decide lietwcen making rnedl- i ino civ II'e profession and a [»osslblo nuir- ago. I «Its. kit'd in favor of the profession and made a solemn resolu- tl h that I would never marry. How I railed to carry out this resolve 1 am a’ u;t to relate. I confess I am not ' r ■ I pleased at the cause of my fall- i re Had 1 met a member of my own I r>ift <slon—an eminent surgeon, for In s t a v e —and formed a professional as we I ns a matrimonial partnership w,t.i him r should not possibly regret iuy surrender to the little god. In stead of this. I was Induced to break my resolution by trickery. I had barely commenced to practice my i»rofesslon when I wns called upon to visit a young man who was the old est son of well to do parents. Indeed, the family was a very loving one, he being the Idol. I was called In by his sisier, next younger than he. who gave me his symptoms, which were, as she descritied them, threatened rnelan- . holla. "I'ertle." she said. “Is so attractive to the girls that they have spoiled him. I think that if he had been born poor Instead of rich and homely Instead of handsome he would have choeen a pro fession and made a success of I t As It Is. he has no object In life and U nicking into n state of mental Inanition. It's such a pity, for he Is the loveliest boy In the world." This description of Albert Emerson was not calculated to Interest me In his ase. for It Indicated that he was Just the kind of a man I would despise. When I saw him there was something about him that supported his sister'» description of him. I did not wonder that silly girls were disposed to make fools of themselves about him. When he looked at me out of his confidence inviting eyes and smiled his confiding smile I was seized with an Irresistible desire to serve him. If anything was needed to convince me that he wns one of those lovable men who win by frankness It wa» when his sifter left me alone with him. "Ileally, doctor.” he said. “I can't permit you to waste your time and good intentions on so worthless a per son as myself. I must tell you a se cret. 1 am not 111 at all. I'm In love. Nothing will cure me except a response from the woman who has engrossed my whole lielng. Your drugs will not be of any avail with me. but evidently you can serve me. My mind, I admit. Is ailing. If you know of any medi cine that will Bteady me mentally pre- scrilie It and. above all, do not fall to visit me regularly. I)o you believe in i be eiTect of one mind over another to the subject mind's benefit or the re verse?” ”1 certainly do." "Well, from the moment I first saw you I felt the effect of your mentality. It may be that this love I bear is a symptom. If so your mentality may cure my body, and that may drive away this craving for the woman who has absorbed me. I beg of you, don't desert me. Come and see me often.” 1 was at this time much Interested in t!ie cure of disease by mental or spiritual Influence and was caught by the way the young man put his case, it would Interest me to prove that his diagnosis of his case was correct I would give lilm the benefit of my men tal power over him. This Intention was facilitated by his family. Instead of being received by them ns a physician I was treated ns a friend. I did not attempt to exert any Influence over the patient I slm ply permitted whatever Influence I pos sessed to net upon him. He seemed to grow lietter gradually. One day liLs sister asked me to ride with him and her. I accepted. Then I rode out with aim alone. I had been visiting Albert Emerson thus semlprofessionally for several months when one day he made a con fession to me. 1 wns the woman he loved and had loved long liefnre I had visited him. Hut this confession was not made until my wings had l*een so far clipped that I could not fly nway. In other words, 1 had been trapped. Tlie worst of It was that I did not wish to l>e untrapped. I bad been gradually absorbed by a man who I had not dreamed wanted me or I Wsnt- ed. And now, ten years after our mar riage. lie lias further confessed that he won me simply because he had beard that I had decided never to marry. I am sh a m ed through nil my nature To have loved so slight a thing. Hut. all the snme, I love my husband and my children. M.v profession has long ago faded away from me.

First comes the man who keeps the sake isplritsi shop. ”1 hear," he says, "that the admiral uever complains of the food that lie finds on his table and that he eats the same food as his servants I get no orders for sake nowadays and only seikl In some soy (saucei and mlso fa curd made from beans and eaten for breakfast) of the commonest quality, occasionally. My monthly Dili Is uever more than 75 cents and sometimes un der 50 cents. I am ashamed to ask for payment, the bill Is so small.'' The greengrocer, a “young student- like man." is afraid to divulge very much, but finally says: "The things I sell lo the Togo family are of the same quality os those I sell to my humblest customer. When the early fruits come in 1 always offer them, but they are seldom bought. The simplicity of the admiral's life Is aston ishing. It would lie great rudeness for a man like me to inniniorit on a god like man like T o g o sly monthly bill amounts to 75 cents or so." Tlie fishmonger: "I have been a l lowed to enjoy the custom of the Togo family for many years, and there has been no change i the orders I get Most officers when they return borne from sea will soon lie known by the special order» they give to the trades men around them ai.:l the increased activity of their kitchen. There is no special dinner for Admiral Togo when he returns nfter an absence. The life lie leads Is absolutely below the stand aril for so great a man. No wonder that the people regard him ns a god My monthly bill Is Insignificantly small." Tho butcher: "Admiral Togo's meat order is very small. When lie enter tains guests he orders from some n s taurant. Occasionally I g'ot ¡in ord"i for his excellency's table. and for tie rest the meat lie.buys I generally for his favorite dog. I believe the dog gets more meat than the master." The barber: "I am called to tlie ml mlral's house twice n month, except when lie goes to the imperial palace.

All tho tradespeople expressed sin cere admiration of the admiral's fru gality.
