VOL X.
THE MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY-
Maraonte was a walled town in a
province of France. In one of the
nouses near the ramparts lived a car
penter named lienott. He was a
sober man, who said little. He had
followed several trades, bad been a
soldier, traveled a great deal, and
had many adventures, but as he never
spoke of them, the town people
tnougnt lie cud nothing good to tell.
The only porson that he was at all
cordial .with was an old soldier named
Trappe who had saved his life in bat
tle. This man was a great talker
and boaster, and Benott suspected
him of being a knave. He had set
up a barber shop in a street pear by.
One evening he called on Benott to
ask him to drink a bottle of wine at
the Cheval Noir, with two old com
rades who had served in the same
regiment.
At first Benott refused; but when
Trappe told him it was the anniver
sary of the battle in which be had
saved his life, he accepted, and in
sisted upon paying the score. When
he arrived at the cabaret he found
two ill looking fellows whom he had
never seen before. . They sat drink
iDg together in the public room until
nearly twelve o'clock. ,
Benott, after spending more mon
ey than he had ever spent before at
an inn in Marmonte, bade them good
night and went home, followed by
Trappe,-who was talking loudly, up
to the room where Madame Benott
and her son were. Trappe laugh
ip&4y forced them to drink two glass
es -of wine with, hijri.:. Benott, an
noyed; walked to the window, and
when he turned around, was aston
ished to find Trappe gone. He remembered-
." this . afterwards, but
thought little, of it- at the time, he
was so sleepy wi'h the wine. He
then fastened his doors and went to
bed. ,
The next morning he was astonish
ed to find his shop door ajar, and on
going to his lumber loft, that the
window was open, tie said notning,
for it was not his custom to talk
about what he did .not understand.
On going to his work, he found the
whole town in excitement, and talk
ing about a great robbery that bad
been committed during the night.
He soon perceived, too, that he was
avoided, and many cast strange
glances at him.. Then he overheard
a neighbor say:
1 noticed iienoit s shop open
last night after eleven o'elock a most
unusuiil circumstance- no light po
lice
He passed on, so Benott heard no
more, but bis suspicions were arous
ed. He knew Trappe did not' leave
his house until all were asleep, and
that he had opened the door to the
robbers. He remembered the wine,
too. He went to the barber's shop.
'Trappe," Baid he, "thou hast
saved my life, I shall say nothing."
I he next day Irappe disappeared.
From this time proofs seemed to
accumulate against Benott. The po
lice found the tracks of the robbers
from his roof lo the ramparts. A
silver spoon belonging to a family
who bad been robbed of 'their plate,
was found under the window of the
lumber loft. Benott was arrested
and brought before the court. He
was asked by the judge if be left the
door and window open.
He answered, 'No.
(Then,' said the judge, 'do you
know who did open them?'
No, replied iJenott; lor ne did
cot know that Trappe hod done it.
'Do you suspect any one?'
'No, Monsieur. As I am suspected
unjustly, I huve no right to suspect
others1
Iu short, he answ ered every ques
tion, houestlv, without inculpating
Trappe. The jildge finding no proof
against him. was obliged to set him
free.
It was evident to him, however,
from the maimer of the discharge
and the talk of the people, that he
was still suspected. He showed no
emotion, but weut quietly home.
After embracing bis wife and son,
who were transported with joy to
see him aguin, he said to the latter:
'Sylvester, you will bear every
where that although I am acquitted,
I am no less thought a knave. Be
not d Sijuieted, this will not last for
ever. '
His wife was frightened at what he
said, but did not believe it. She
went out to talk with her neighbors.
Some turned their backs and would
have nothing to say to her, others
looked at her in pity, and shrugged
their shoulders as if to say: .'Poor
woman! it is not her fault.'
Others declared to ber what they
thought.
After defending her husband warm
ly, she returned home weeping, and
saying that she would live no longer
in Marmonte.
'If I go away,' said Benot, I shall
leave a bad name behind me.' -
'But what good will it do you to
stav in this place? asked Sladame
Benott.
'I mean to recover lny good repu
tation.' answered he.
'But you will lose all your cus
tomers.
'No,' said Benott, for I will be the
best carpenter in town."
'Tberawre others quite as good as
you, what will you do to make your
self better than meyr
:-'Ev takinz the mofit difficult work
and trvinir to make it perfect.'
Benott had work on hand when he
was arrested. He hastened to uiii.U
it. He did it so well, so promptly
and so reasonably, that the hnn con
tinued to employ him in spite of
their bad oninion of him. He arose
two hours earlier than usual every
morning, and retired later: be labor
ed diligentlv, so as to hire fewer
workmen, and be able to work cheap
er, flthounh be furnished the very
best material and workmanship.
Thus be not only kept his old cus
tomers, but acquired new tnes.
He knew the people thought ill of
j him, and were often afraid to trust
I him alone in a room, but he took no
! nnrtimilftr nntiPA nf if. "Rut if nnv
one spoke rudely to him on the street
as he passed along, he gave him such
a look that the insult was never re
peated. He saw, too, that bis ac
counts were examined, but he took
care to have them so clear, so detail
ed, and supported them with such
proofs, that his customers finished
Dy Baying:
'You take, sir, more pains than
you need to take.'
'No,' said he, 'I know your opin
ion of me. It is necessary that you
should see clearly that I do not de
ceiveou.' About this time a house took fire,
and endangered the one next to it.
Several workmen tried to prevent
the fare from reaching it, but soon
desisted on account of the danger!
Benott soon arrived at the door of
the threatened house. The servants
dared not allow him to enter without
leave from their master whom they
could not find. He rushed through
them, saying:
'If I happen to save the house,
you can see afterwards if I have
stolen anything."
He mounted to the top of the
house where no one dared follow
him. ' Passing through a chamber,
he saw a watch lying on the mantle
piece, he put it in his pocket to prevent
its being stolen; then, thinking if he
were to perish in the flames, and this
watch found on him, it would prove
bim a robber, he concealed it iu a
vase near by; climbed to a spot near
est to the fire, Btood where the flames
had already reached, and with a few
blows of the hatchet cut all commu
nication between the two houses.
Coming down be met the -proprie
tor of the house. ' He showed him
the watch.
'I put it there,' said Benott, bo-
cause I thought if it was stolen yon
would think that I took it.'
The upright conduct of Bouott,
constantly seen by the public, began
to make a favorable impression.
A rich man came to the province to
build a large manufactory.
He inquired for the best carpenter
in Marmonte. It was impossible not
to point out Benott. He employed
him, and was so well satisfied with
bis zeal, intelligence and uprightness,
that he at once pronounced him an
honest man. As he was a person of
great importance, this produced a fu
vorable effect.
The reputation of Benott as a work
man soon extended throughout the
province. He was put in charge of
great enterprises.
This brought mm in contact with
men of all classes, and every one
spoke highly of him. He was watch
ed no longer. -
People still wondered how Ins win
dow and door came to be open on
the night of the robbery, and many
believed he could have told.
Tho rich mau who had employed
Benott to build his manufactory, and
who was-a great deal interested in
bim, tolo him he ought to explain
the circumstances.
'Why should I?' asked Bonott.
'My reputation for honesty is estab
lished The adventure was almost forgot
ten, when a robber named Trappe
was arrested in a neighboring prov
ince , who confessed tbat he commit
ted the deed that nearly ruined poor
Benott.
Well,' suid Benott, wheu the town
people came to congratulate hiin, 'I
was certain that an Honest man could
not always pans for a knave."

hall not from necessity, but because
that is his chosen way. His numer

the historic old man is moving far
down the declivity of life, still with
the erect mem and sturdy step with
which he entered the Oregon wilder
ness years ago. I could not well
visit him, because of the bad roads,
but am told that his natural forces

A Sketch of tnelr Peculiar Pulnta.
The following description of the
great Beecher-Tilton lawyers, given
by the New York Sun during the
progress of the trial cannot fail to be
of interest to our readers:
Next to the two men pitted against
each other in the great scandal, their
wives and Mr. Moulton, heed is giv
en by the attendants of the trial of
Mr. Beecber to the lawyers engaged
in it. Their words are listened to
and their movements watched with
the eager attention that may be sup
posed ns given by the witnesses of a
bull fight. Significance is given to
everything they do no matter how
trivial. If Mr. Beach whispers to
Mr. Fullerton that there is a speck
on the end of his nose, or Mr. Evarts
asks Mr. Shearman what day of the
week it is, the observers in the gal
lery are certain that a new device has
been concocted or a change of plan
consulted about. : These legal gentle
men, too, although they make their
demeanor a matter of mimicry, cer
tainly Know mat uiey are comoai-
ahts in a struggle watched by the
world, and that their reputation as
lawyers are as deoply involved as are
the fates of their clients. The rela
tive strength of the opposing forces
is daily discussed. The latest bouts
between them being usually the facts
from which varying deductions are
made. There are eight of the law
yers leaving out those who do routine
work and are not lifcelv to ram prom
inence in the trial. There are Mossrs.
Evarts, Porter, Tracy and Shearman
for Mr. Beecher, and Messrs. Beach,
Fullerton, Pryor and Morris for Mr.
Tilton. As to comliness, the plain
tiff's array are eminent, Mr. Beach,
Mr, a ullerton, and Mr, Morris being
without rivals in the opposition ex
cept Mr. Tracy. ' As to brains, that
involves an opinion which can better
be formed after the coming weeks of
struggle. Each will get a chance to
show his ability in Ins strongest line,
the devision of work having been
made as a theatrical manager casts
the parts in a play ' 'to the full strength
of the company."
MB. WILLIAM M. EVARTS
The senior counsel for Mr. Beecher,
Mr. Jvarts, with the fame of connec
tion with national litigation and pol
icy, is seemingly tho most self-conscious
lawyer iu the two groups. On
about every day in the first week of
the trial be demanded more loom.
When the tables had at last been ar
ranged according to his plan, he still
frowned, and looked as though he
wanted to put everybody at a yet
more respectful distance. He is old,
thin, straight, and has such a face us
would wrench the proprieties by he
longing to anybody but a lawyer of
the old-school pal tern. His nose,
large and aggressive of outline, is
inclined to be neighborly with his
chin. His head is shapely, but not
large. He wears no beard; and his
hair is dark and rather short. His
clothes will be shabby before long if
he doesn t cret a uew suit. - To gum
up his appearance in his own incis
ive sort of language, be is half-way
between a wizen-fucod, musty old
gentleman and one of the fine, pre
cise, yellow veterans who have bung
in portrait galleries since men wore
stocks three inches broad. Mr. Evarts
wears such a neckerchief now, and a
blue cloak with a broad velvet collar.
His voice comes up from somowhere
iu his depths as though hoisted out
of a cellar where he had A great deal
more of it stored away, and there is
an interval between the opening of
his mouth and the outcome of anv
sound. It is like watohing a wood
chopper from a distance, and seeing
the nx full, the sound of the stroke
coming an instant later. In manner
he ie quick and testy, but be does not
waste time in purposeless bickerings.
He apparently expects to gain every
point that he makes, and takes it
hardly wben he fails, dropping into a
chair and throwing one thin log over
the other with a quickness that half
makes one listen to hear bis bones
rattle. His diction is almost perfect,
and he speaks slowly and distinctly,
no matter how much stimulated by
opposition or anger. He interrupts
the Court with a presumption and
frequency tbat would disturb a less
even tempered man than Judge Neil
son. He has fought Mr. Fullerton
stubbornly during the examination of
Mr, Moul on, their bot encounters
being the spice of the trial.
, Mil. WILUAM A. BEACH.
The senior counsel for Mr. Tilton
has never held a judicial position.
yet since his coming to New York
from Troy, a few years ago, be has
been generally called Judge Heat-b.
He is the embodiment of dignity in
bis court room demeanor, and is a
large man, with the outward indica
tions of great mental and physical
vigor. His features are striking and
full of character marks. His long,
straight hair and the whiskers that
bide bis chin, are white. They were
blanched from jet black to white in a
few short weeks, aliout three years
ago. It was no sudden stroke of
fright or grief that made the change
lie only stopped dyeing. He is an
oldish man with the vitality of youth.
Next to Mr. Beecher he has the strong
est fare in the court one that would
lie incongruous behind a counter, or
am where outof consequential scenes
He is unceasingly attentive while
Mr. Moultou is under examination,
and is so familiar with the scandal
matter that, when Mr. Fullerton oc
rationally misreads a word in a letter,
be quickly corrects him from memory.
Hi manner is dictatorial and ag
gressive in the extreme, but he stops
short of impoliteness. The little
sneakinr; Hint be his done in the
trial haa been bvond doubt better
than that of any of his colleagues or
opponents. - He has a heavy, sonor
ous voice, a ready and discriminating
oommand of words, and a dogmatic,
forceful style of delivery . When be
rises to make a simple objection or
suggestion, it is with the air tf an
orator beginning a long address, and
he always starts circumspectly with
"Now, if your Honor please," bow-
ever audacious the matter that coniesq
after. He opposes anything like
theatrical show, and when the flowers
were sent in to Mr. Tilton on Friday
he advised their removal, because be
feared that the jury might believe it
to be a prearranged exhibition. . Al
thougu during his long career in Troy
his bosom friend was the Bev, Dr.
Baldwin, the Baptist preacher nnd
author, he is not religious, and in his
opposition to Mr. Beecher is regard
ed as a genuine partisan. He sits
closo to tho jury, but his efforts to
impress them are wholly oral. His
opposing senior has a habit of smil
ing, Bneenng auu lrowuiug iu n biuu
long way, as a mute commentary up
on the testimony. This would be too
great a laxness of dignity for Mr.
Beach to exhibit, and if be acts it is
in the direction of gravity. He will
make the closiiic speech for the plain
tiff, and something inordinary is ex
pected of him.
int. JonN k. ronTKn.
At the Beecher table sits through
every session a man who from across
the room looks to be forty-nve years
old. A little closer he has tho ap
pearance of the stage lawyer, mid
frows ten years older. This is ex
udge John K. Porter. His hair and
moustache are jet black, yet he is an
old man. Dye. One day a sepul
chral sentence rose from among the
lawyers for the defence. Everybody
listened vainly for more, and wonder
ed who bad caught such a dreadful
cold. Mr. Porter bad spoken. He
had not previously done so nor has
he since. He is constantly busy,
however, working as though alone in
his office, and seemingly paying no
attention to what is going on, lieally
he is following the testimony with in
tense application. A pair of specta
cles saddle his nose, and be holds
his eyes within near sight of .a pam
phlet of the scandal statements.
Humped over this book, as it is laid
open on a table, be has closely cover
ed the margins of the pages with
notes. He is, so it is said, to cross
examine Mr. Tiltou's witnesses, and
is thus preparing himself to deal
with Mr. Moulton. His fame as an
inquisitor of antagonistic testifiers
has penetrated the court room, and
the spectators discuss and watch him
in his silent industry, predicting won
derful exploits of entanglement. Ho
seldom looks up from hii book, comes
and goes unostentatiously, and is the
easiest overlooked of any in the ar
rays of counsel by those who do not
know bim. Mr. Beecher goes to bim
occasionally to whisper in one of his
yellow years, and then they compare
the peucilings in their books. He is
usually in his place before the open
ing,, entering without any show of
consciousness of the watching by tho
audience. Rolling his unfashionable
overcoat into a wad, be puts it under
the table, sets bis bat ou it, and goes
to work. When the session is over
he invariably finds that bis collsaguos
have wiped their feet on his coat,
and kicked the nap of bis hat the
wrong way. This annoys him for an
instant, but be . forots It before he
has bad time to brush away the dam
age and so he goes out in disordered
raiment. He shows no interest in
the wrangles of counsel, and would
be vory slightingly regarded by tho
audienco were it not that thoy know
him to bo ex-Judge Porter, and that
his time for display in the trial will
soon come.
MB. WILLIAM A. FULLERTON,
The greatest doer in these days of
Mr. Moulton's direct examination Is
ex-Judge Fullerton, the inquisitor
for Mr. Tilton. He is a handsome,
portly old fellow, with- thin, curly
blonde bair, and a boyish moustache
of the same color, and with his suav
ity and dignified politeness should
be admired of womankind. During
four hours every day he stands will)
a bunch of note paper in bis left
band, and with bis right dangles a
pair of eye glasses whon they aro
not in use. His voice is musical, and
he puts questions in a tone not al
ways loud enough to be heard by all
the lawyers, whereat he is often
querously chided by Mr. Evarts.
He has made an elocutionary bit in
his reading of the scandal letters and
Mr. Tilton's poem, "Sir Marmadiiko's
Musings. His infusion of fooling
into Mr. Beecher'a epistolary out
pourings of sentiment i artistic and
telling to a dramatic degree. The
phrases which nave become worn in
to by-words are revived under his
elocution into expressions of the
most intense and solemn emotions.
There is a convenient tremor iu bis
voice tbat is very useful for pathetic
effects, and be uses it with the dis
cretion and cleverness of an oocom
plished actor. When be carefully
adjusts his eye glasses and alter sev
eral trials brings a document exactly
into focus, the people expect a re
ward for listening and are at once
attentive. He is not always unruffled.
however, for wben Mr. Evarts attacks
bim be flashes up, bot and angry,
into snarp retort, xie is strong in
repartee, and beats bis antagonist in
the manner if not the matter of his
personalities. Having won or lost
in tho encounter, he drops easily
back into placidity. There is little
in the task of questioning Mr Moul
ton to perplex bim, as the Mutual
Friend is a willing and intelligent
witness; but in bis cross-examination
of Mr. Beecher much interest will
be centered. His manner toward
witnesses is polite and never bullying.
He coaxes into ambushes rather than
drive into open encounters. As Mr.
Beecber has in the most trying pub
lic scenes of the scandal been self
controlled and placatory, the struggle
between them is sure to be one of
bitterness covered by politeness,
' MESSRS. TRACY ASD SHEARMAN.
The most aotive of Mr. Beocher'a
lawyers in the ante trial times of the
scandal is now the idlest while in
the court room. Gen. Tracy aits
through the session with his chair
often tilted back and his hands thrust
into his pockets, a close listener; but
he titkoB no notes, does not follow
the reading of documents in the
printed book, and seldom joins in
the consultations of his colleagues.
He looks like what people call "a
long headed fellow" a 01, whisker
ed, middle-aged, shrewd-faced man,
with intelligent, pleasing features,
except that his eyeB have a cold, wily
expiession. He showed bis excellence
as a speaker in his arguments before
the commencement of the trial, but
has hot said a word since Mr. Moul
ton has been on the standi It is
supposed that he will precede Mr.
Evarts in the summing up if the
plan of allowing two speeches on
each side is udhered to. Ho is the
only ono of the defendant's counsel
who had Bern the originals of the
letters previous to the trial, Mr.
Moulton having shown them to bim
early in the controversy. The rest
of the lawyers for the defence ea
gerly scan each letter as it is pro
duced, notably Mr. Thomas G. Shear
man, famous as the dork of rly
mouth Church and confidant of Mr.
Beecher, ia a very small and, a very
busy man , with a pale, beakish face
nnd black whiskers. He is always
at full tension, with law books and
papers in a confused heap around
him, and is usually looking for tome
thing that he' oannot find. He says
nothing while tne examination is
going on, although in the previous
arguments he was a frequent and
fluent speaker. In manner he ' is
brusque and nervous, and in bis
court-room intercourse with hiB cli
ents plainly exhibits bis admiring
affection, It is supposed that he
will open the case for Mr. Beecher
in a speech of two or three days du
ration, and his industry in the court
room is in preparation. He and Mr.
Moulton are bitter enemies, as shown
by tho witness pointedly quoting Mr.
Beecher as saying that! be was a med
dler. Mr. Shearman has brought
flowers to court for his pastor's table,
and more substantially attests bis
love by announcing tbat lie will take
no pay for his professional services,
MESSRS. PBYOR AID MORRIS.
Tho engagement of an old-time
Southern fare-eater as a counsel for a
former active aboltionist is the odd
point in Gen. Roger A. Pryor being
one of Mr. Tilton's legal party. Mr.
Pryor is a typical man thin, tall,
nervously aggressive and hot blood
ed. With irregular features, lung,
stiff black hair, and large piercing
eyes, he is the singular component
of the party. . His oratory, as shown
in an argument before the actual
commencement of the trial, is of the
John Randolph sort flory,. bitter
and ambitious. He wears a slouch
hat and a cloak, iu which guise he
is the ideal of a Southerner with
dnelibtio incliuings. Iu court-room
demeanor he is the most courteous
of them all, and the must open in
his partisanship. He has nothing to
say ut this ejsge of the trial, except
in the way of whispered conference,
but may precede Mr. Beach in the
summing up. He ml at Mr. Tilton's
side, with bis ;nder lip protruded
in an almost grotesque war, his
forehead wrinkled into a frown, and
bis flushed face expressive of the
acme of combativeness. Whilo Mr.
Morris is sick Mr, Pryor helps in
the arrangement of papers for pre
sentation in Mr. Moulton's testimony.
Mr. Morris Iiub made his great effort
in his long opening speoTh, and
through it has become thoroughly
known by ihe public. 1 He has a big
nead, a lace mat ne need not ue
ashamed of, is vigorous and manly
in bearing, and a bard worker in the
case. Years ago he and Mr. Tilton
had a personal difference, growing
out of Misapprehension, and upon
lis adjustment uiey oecanie inornate
friends. Consequeatly the fight is
to him a matter of personal interest,
and his refusal the other day to have
a friendly talk with tbs defendant
was natural enough,

A Pn'txr Bor. A farmer's boy
was crossing a field where a very wild
and ferocious bull was allowed to
roam at large. When the bor bad
about reached the middle of the
hold, lie suddenly saw the bull, with
head lowered, rushing furiously at
him. ' lining accustomed to aisnag
ing cut tlo, lie was in no way disoon-
certed, but ran to a tree near by and
commenced running around it, wilb
the ' bull after him; presently be
caught the bull br the tail and com
menced belaboring him unmercifully
with a stick. The bull, finding tbat
''tail" wis turned, started oft at a
rim, the 4oy swinging to bim, but
the faster he ran, the mors the boy
belabored him, until finally be com
menced bellowing. "0, says the
boy, increasing hi blows, '.'you may
bellow, but I'd like to know who
started this.

Mr, Stanley's first letter from Afri
ca shows that he has already, at the
outset of his journey, accomplished
a great work, the moral and material
importance of which can hardly be
exaggerated.' In thirty days be ex
plored the nutfgi luver, which Dr.
kirk reported to be not navigable. '
Mr. Stanly, as the result of his spir
ited and successful voyage in the
Yarmouth yawl the Wave, informs
us that the river carries a good nav
igable channel fifty miles inland; and
tie believes that for nearly half that
distance the largest Mississippi
steamboat of &,0UO tons might safely
float.
Forty miles from the sea it is brand
and has a general depth of at least
nine feet; and the waterway beyond,
fmicticublu for shallow . stream
nunches, extends to a distance of at
least 2-10 miles. Not only has Mr.
Stanley made known the existence of
this important gateway to Eastern
Africa, lie has hit on the- lino of the
overland slavers, disclosing by his
preliminary trip how at one otroke
the 5.UQ0 slaves annually driven .to
Dar Salaam and the North may be
rescued, and thriving commerce
opeuod up with an industrious peo
ple inhabiting a remarkably fertile
region. ' The infamous truffle now lies
at the mercy of ber majesty's squad
ron, as soou as its officers got orders
from home to send boats up the
river, and to guard Kisu and Dar
nalaani. Mr. Stanley, try his initial
bit of 'work, puts the British Consul
at Zanzibar lo shame, and justifies
tho belief that he is not unworthy to
coutintio the work begun by Living
stone. Even the scientific geogra
phers who have hitherto treated this
young American with scant courtesy
will learn by-and by to respect him
for bis work.

General Frank P, Blair's rescue
from the jaws of death, as it were,
by the simple process of the transfu
sion of blood, suggests unlimited
possibilitios for the improvement of
tho human race. The doctors report
that General Blair, after each infu
sion, partook largely of the nature
of the person from whom the supply
of blood was drawn. For instance,
wben he received a supply of the life
fluid from the arm of a healthy young
man, who, unknown to tho physi
cians, had been on a small spree the
day before, the General Immediately
became very drunk, This shows
that groat cure must be exercised in
the selection of the blood supply
But with this precaution observod,
what a vast amount of good may b
accomplished among our publio men.
Take the, case of the Ilov. Henry
Ward Beecher to begin with. A
pious monk should be found in some
secluded cloister, whose reputation
for sanctity is unassailable, and Mr.
Beecher' veins should be filled pe
riodically with the cool blood of th
anchorite. Tho blood of a gentle
man should be infusod into the veins
of Ulysses 8. Grant. For Zacb
Chandler, a teetotaler, with an un
doubted character for sanctity, should
lie found, and found right away. For
Matt Carpenter, the same man who
did duty for Beecher would serve
unless the strain on him was too
great, The blood of almost any
liody would make an improvement in
John A. Logan. A modest man should
lie sclented for Murat Halxtoad, even
though it be necessary to scrape the
country with a fine tooth comb to find
him. And so on to tho end of the
chapter. The medical profession and
the people at large will learn that
this transfusion of blood ia a big
thing. 1 here s millions in it.
