Judge Pauls went down the office
stops briskly, his face, which a few
moiueuts before bad been creased Into
a frown, now beaming with the satis
faction of duty well done, lie had for
bidden the new doctor, who had no
prospects and uo faculty for money
making, to visit his house auy more.
From what he know of Edith and what
he had seen In the young doctor's eyes
he felt that he need apprehend no
further trouble, and the affair bad not
gone far enough for either of the young
people to suffer any heartache.
Dr. rtiil was stamllug in front of an
open window In his office, his hands
thrust deep into his pockets, gating out
at the judge as he crossed the street
i and passed on through the field oppo
site toward the river, probably to see
If tbe swollen torrent was doing any
damage to his lands. Then, with the
same strong, self contained look which
the Judge had seen and. against his
will, admired, the young doctor turned
back Into his office.
There was no despondency In his
clear gray eyes, no weakening of his
square chin. He had fought his way!
rroni almost absolute ignorance at
iweive in me tioptns ot a coal mine
through various situations to one school
after another, through college and med
ical school and hospital practice, until
now he was here in an office of his
own waiting for the first patient.
There was a large bark region of
farm and mountain people here, and
once he could gain their confidence it
would offer him such a field aa he lov
ed, a life of bard, continuous work,
with much of it In long Journeying
under the open sky. The horror of bis
early boyhood In the black depths of
the mine could never leave him: to be
In the open air was to be in God's own
world. Tba matter of recompense In
money never troubled him.
As be turned from the window a man
came hurrying across a field from the
direction of th river. Reaching the

"You can't cross herel" one of them
yelled. "It's sure death!"
"A woman's ou the other side dying,"
was Dr. Phil's only auswer.
He did not even attempt to check
the horse, but plunged Into tba water
at full speed.
This horse was the ouly piece ot
property that Dr. Pull owned, and he
had been able to make the purchase
because the ugliness and vlelousnoss
and small size of the animal had mad'
the price very low. Uut the horse was
apparently afraM of nothing In the
world aud had strong staying powers,
and these were qualities which soon
convinced the youug doctor that he had
obtained the very animal he needed
without regard to price.
However, with that rushing, roaring
torrent before him, the animal seemed

lr. Phil well knew. He must roach
the other side, but he was not fool j

The torrent was winding In Its course
lr. Phil's gaze had swept keenly from
bank to bank; then he forced his horse
Into a current which approached the
opposite shore nearly a half mile down.
To the horrified spectators it looked w
though they were being swept away,
powerless to help themselves, as. In
deed, they were for the time being. All
Dr. Phil did was to guide the horse,
and ali the horse could do was to keep
them above water. But as the curreiit
approached Its nearest point to the oth
er shore, not more than ten feet dis

the water, with his hand twisted In
the horse's mane, and In that position,
freed from his weight aud with the
strong right arm assisting by quick,
powerful strokes, the horse threw him
self forward with a desperate effort
which brought his feet upon the hot j
torn. A few minutes later they emerged
from the water and staggered up the!
bank. i
Dr. Phil did not hesitate. Lonesome j
valley was two miles away, ami he,
could reach It more quickly on foot i
than he could on the horse In Its pros j
out exhausted condition. So he turned J
the animal loose; perhaps he could re ,

Dr. Phil was hurriedly gathering up
some things from his table.
"There's the liram-h that runs Into
the river from tho mountains," lie call
ed over his shoulder. "After this
freshet it inuM be a torrent, as dan
gerous as tho river itself. Jr. peters

"Hurry, I tell you:" thundered Dr.
Phil. "The woman may be bleeding

When the man appeared Dr. Phil

threw himself instantly upon the

"In Zanzibar and pemba slaves are
very slow to take advantage of the reg
ulations that give them the right to
claim their freedom." sn.vs a traveler.
"They realize that so long as they are
well used their position is superior to
that of the man whose freedom is his
sole asset. I have found tho same at
titude lu north Africa. I'rotn .Morocco
to Tripoli one sees most of the slaves
well content and flourishing. The fam
ine, the locusts, the drought and the
tax collector have no terror for them.
Work keeps them bealthy, they have
enough to eat and drink, and the future
has no meaning at all. There I pro
motion, there are confidential missions
to governors and friends that elevate a
slave, if only In the eyes of Ids fellows,
and there is always a chance of manu
mission when the owner dies and
wishes to have some good deeds record-1
ed In the books of Islam s recording
angels. The sorry truth of tfle matter
Is that slaves under Mohammedan rule
are much better off than they ever
were under the rule of white men In
America and elsewhere."
