A DOCTORS
Glekroy,
CHAPTER L
In his unusually pleasant office on
Broadway sat Lemuel Gray, a middle
aged man and successful lawyer, in deep
thought. In his hand he held a letter,
which, after a few moments, he again
carefully read. A it refers to people
and events to be mentioned often in the
remarkable story about to be related, we
give the contents entire:
Yonkers, April 15, 18 . .
Mr. Lemuel Gray:
Dear Sir It is with great difficulty
that I pen the following, being very ill,
but as the object I hare in view by thus
addressing you is of great importance, I
will write in as few words as possible.
You are aware, being my confidential
adviser, that I expected to sail for Eu
lope shortly, in-order to attempt to un
ravel the mystery surrounding the death
of Sir Arthur Glendenning, in whose fate
I am so deeply interested.
I wished to visit, in some disguise, the
. town where Glendenning Hall is situat
ed, to become acquainted with the pres
ent baronet and Lady Constance, his
wife, with the nephew and niece resid
ing with them, and to learn something,
if . possible, about the only sister who
married without the consent of her fam
ily, and who; therefore, was disowned by
her relatives as well as a young girl
Whom it was said they had adopted.
I desired, also, to make inquiries in
regard to the private character of An
toine Duval, the valet of the present Sir
Reginald Glendenning, and to study ev
erything that might bear upon the mys
tery of the case.
I regret to say that my physician de
clares it impossible for me to undertake,
with safety, this journey. What do you
thing of my sending thither a substitute?
I have in mind a young physician, Dr.
marie Hiltenstem, who resides in your
city. I write to ask you to hunt him up
for me. Please make .a few inquiries
as to his circumstances; disposition and
above all, whether he is an energetic and
conscientious man.
Inform me in regard to these matters
at an early date. If favorable, set a
time when you can meet him at my resi
dence and explain to him the peculiar
mission I wish him to undertake, in my
behalf. Your presence will be absolutely
necessary, as the disease with which I
am afflicted forbids my entering into the
long explanations that must be given, in
order to instruct him in the performance
of the work.
Yours, etc..
LEON RAPPELYE.
To this, a few hours later, the follow
ing reply was penned:
N. Y., April 16, 18.
Mr. Leon Rappelye:
Dear Sir Upon the receipt of yours
of the 15th, I examined the city directory
without delay. I find Dr. Elfenstein's ad
dress to be 47 Exton street;
Going at once to the neighborhood.
learned trom a reliable source that the
young man has a very small practice,
therefore, finds it difficult to support his
widowed mother and himself in comfort.
This state of his finances is not due
to lack of energy, for he is indefatigable
in his efforts to benefit his patients, but
those who apply to him for advice are,
unfortunately, the very poor in the region
of his home.
He is an exceedingly conscientious and
good man, and from all I can learn, just
the one to undertake the important busi
ness which you propose, and which I
fully approve.
I will meet him at your residence, on
the evening of the 18th. It would be
well to send him a telegram to that ef
fect as soon as you receive this. ' Yours
sincerely,
LEMUEL GRAY.
It was a dull and dreary picture that
the eyes of Dr. Earle Elfenstein rested
upon as he drew back the lace curtains
that draped the parlor window of his
cozy home.
His practice was not large and far
from lucrative. Times were unusually
hard, and his bills for services rendered,
poorly paid, so that he had, indeed, a
hard struggle to live.
This afternoon he was peculiarly cast
down, for his mother had reminded him
that the month's rent for the flat in
which they resided would be due in three
days, and he knew he had not one quar
ter of the amount required.
It was no wonder, then, that a sigh
escaped him as he turned to greet the
sweet-looking lady about fifty years of
age, who entered the room, holding on
envelope in her hand.
"Here is a telegram for you, Earle.
What can it be?"
"I cannot say, as I expected none," he.
replied, opening the missive. "This is
singular. I am requested to leave the
city by the 8 p. m. train for Yonkers,
to Bee a gentleman, who is an invalid,
on a matter of business. His name is
Leon Rapielye, a strange name to me."
"What shall you do about -it?" asked
the mother, anxiously.
"I shall go, of course. The message
says, "you will be met at the station.'

and meet the tram."
"What time shall you return 7'
"It will be late, I know, perhaps not
until morning. Good by, little mother.
Who knows but this will bring better
things for us T'
Later, closely protected by a comfort-
- able ulster from the heavy rain that was
falling, with a train of serious thoughts
in his mind, occasioned by his poverty.
Dr. Elfenstein wended his way to the
' - rirand Central Denot and entered the
cars that would bear him to his destina-

Are you the one?" " . r
"I am." . . - - ..
"Then please follow me.
The young man was soon seated in a
handsome close carnage. Street after
street was traversed, until finally they
turned into the extensive grounds of an
elegant residence. .
As the young man stepped acress the
piazza, the large aoors were instantly
opened by a colored waiter, who motion
ed him to enter and proceeded to assist
in removing his overcoat ' and wet over
shoes. Crossing the marble floor of the long
hall, he was ushered into a room ele
gantly appointed. The bright grate fire
cast a cheerful glow around, while the
velvet carpet 'scarcely gave back a foot
afll. The table was laid for one, and
very soon a sumptuous dinner was serv
ed, of Which he alone partook.
Leaving the doctor to enjoy his solitary
meal, we will precede him to the story
above, and to the presence of the invalid,
whose urgent telegraphic dispatch bad
brought him to the place.
The second story back room was large
and commodious, opening into a room be
yond, where every luxury abounded, fof
the comfort of the master.
"Has he come?"
These- words issued from the pale lips
of the sufferer, who was half sitting, half
reclining upon the bed.
"Has Dr. Elfenstein come? I thought
I heard the carriage."
"You did, and he is here," returned the
nurse and housekeeper. "I thought it
best to have him take dinner before you
saw him. I presume you have much to
say and would prefer not to be interrupt
ed. He will be with you in a few mo
ments now."
"Has my lawyer come?"
"Not yet. But the door bell rings. I
think that is he." ,
"Set that stand with writing materials
close by my bed, then go down and show
both gentlemen to this room; after which,
you can leave us to ourselves until you
hear me ring."
Making herself known to the doctor,
the nurse introduced him to Mr. Gray,
then led the way to the sick man's pres
ence.
"Here is Mr. Gray, Mr. Rappelye, and
this is your expected friend, Dr. Elfen
stein."
Reaching forth a thin, white hand, the
old man smiled feebly, and between
struggling breaths managed to say:
"I am very glad to see you."
Taking the emaciated hand in both his,
Earle Elfenstein pressed it tenderly, and
in a low tone full of feeling responded:
"I am glad I could come to you, but
sorry, very sorry to see you so ill!"
"You must wonder why I summoned
you, an entire stranger, to my side in
this unceremonious way, but I have- im
portant business to transact. Talking is
such an exertion, my lawyer, Mr. Gray,
must explain for me my wishes, and
why I sent for you.".
These words were uttered at intervals,
for his short breathing prevented long
sentences, and gently releasing his hand
Elfenstein took the seat close beside the
bed, while Mr. Gray seated himself in a
business-like way beside the table.
CHAPTER II.
"Dr. Elfenstein," said Mr. Gray, "my
client and friend, Mr. Leon Rappelye,
is, as you see, extremely ill. Our friend
is a lonely, man, having no relatives liv-?
ing to whom he wishes to leave his large
fortune. He has dictated his last will
and testament, and as he desires to sign
it before he may be unable to do so, it
was necessary for him to see you per
sonally, previous to placing his name to
the document, in which, I may .add, you
are deeply interested.
Earle Elfenstein started as he heard
these words, and looked from the lawyer
to the invalid beside him.
"You are surprised, naturally, again
resumed Mr. Gray, and probably won
der what Mr. Rappelye knows of you
I will explain this at once. Yoar father
was George Elfenstein, a well-known
banker; in years gone by he did Mr.
Rappelye a never-to-be-forgotten service.
His arrival in this .country was follow
ed by a long and dangerous illness, when
he lay alone among strangers, almost
neglected, and he attended to his wants
like a brother, until he was entirely con
valescent. They met often afterward.
and then lost sight of each other. Years
of silence passed, when accidentally he
learned about three months since that
his benefactor . was dead, and his only
son was a struggling physician in New
York. He has heard of your fearless.
conscientious manner of meeting your en
gagements, and this was a characteristic
he particularly wished to hnd in some
young friend. ' When, therefore, his
health entirely failed, he determined to
send for you, and perhaps place his af
fairs in your hands.
"Anything that I can do within the
range of honor and integrity, I shall be
pleased to undertake, Jfiarle answered.
"We felt so. The case then is this;
but. of course, you will recognize the
fact that the history of our friend's' life,
which I shall be obliged to unfold to "you,
is told in strict confidence. Will you
promise to regard that confidence as a
sacred trust, never to be told to another,
until all that is now mysterious has been
swept away?"
"I wilL"
"Then I will proceed. Our friend was
the youngest son of Sir Geoffrey Glen
denning, residing in a large town near
IJvernooL This gentleman had one
daughter, who
married .against his
wishes, and three sons. Arthur, who
would in case of his death succeed to
the title: Reginald, two years younger.
and Fitzroy, the gentleman yon see be
fore von. whose severe domestic misfor
tunes Have been so great that for the last
twenty-five years he has been obliged to
live in this country, under the assumed
name of RaDDelre."
"'A short time after the death of his
d areata, for they expired within a few
months of each other, and after : his
brother Arthur had coma into possession
' of his title, little turmoils arose between '
the brothers, and . seemed to embitter
them exceedin"'y. '
i "Reginald, t-e second son, had an ugly,
! morose disposition, that ' was peculiarly
exasperating, and whenever -the oppor- ;
" tunity occurred . he ,, delighted in getting ;
Fitzroy into disgrace -with, -the - young
baronet. '
i "These young men had a Tery pretty
cousin, in whose society they each took
extreme pleasure. Her name was Con
stance Leonore Glendenning. It was soon
discovered that the affections of the
young girl were centered upon Sir Ar
thur, and - this knowledge was immedi
ately followed by a betreaL
"Reginald, being some. 1st disappoint
ed that he could not win the prise, un
dertook to report several little interviews
of a purely innocent and accidental na
ture that 'Fitzroy had with this lady to
his brother, casting a very sinister light
npon them, and assuring Arthur that
Fitzroy was endeavoring to supplant him
in her favor.
"This artful story infuriated the young
nobleman, and caused a very bitter inter
view, ifitzroy indignantly denied every
thought of interference, declaring the
truth, that his love for Constance was
merely cousinly. This Sir Arthur refus
ed to believe, and they parted in anger,
Fitzroy exclaiming in a moment of un
guarded passion as he left him: .
'Very well, thmk so if it stubs yon;
but, mark me, you shall yet repent your
unjust accusations, and, as I live, shall
never repeat this insult.'
Closing the door as he spoke, he step
ped into the hall and stood face to face
with Antoine Duval, the valet of his
brother Reginald, and from the conscious
look he gave him, Fitzroy knew that he
had either purposely listened or acci
dentally heard the unfortunate remark.
"The brothers did not" meet again that
day, but early the next, Fitzroy was
awakened by an unusual tumult. To his
horror he was told that Sir Arthur had
disappeared during the night. His bed
had been occupied" as usual, but he had
probably been murdered, or very badly
wounded, as while no traces of his body
could be found, evidences of a contest
were on every side.
'Blood was upon the bed and floor,
the window seat was covered with it, as
though he had been dragged through it,
and then by means of a rope let down to
the ground below. From the grass to an
ornamental lake not far distant were
irregular patches of the same human
gore. Beyond that, nothing was ever
discovered! That Jake was thoroughly
dragged for the body; the grave by the
side of it was searched, not a spot being
left in which a corpse could be buried
to no effect.
"But, while stupefied with grief over
his brother's loss, our poor friend was
made aware that the finger of suspicion
pointed to him with singularly fatal evi
dences of guilt.
'A dagger with his name engraved
upon the handle was found by the bed
side, on the floor,-its blade still wet with
blood. Beneath the window seat, eaught
upon a nail, was a fragment of cloth
which, upon search being made, . fitted
exactly into a rent in a dressing gown
of his, that was found hanging in his
own closet.
'All he could conclude was that some
unknown enemy had struck the fatal
blow, and after stealing these articles
from his private rooms, had left the
dagger purposely .upon the floor, and -re
turned the torn and bloody gown to the
closet, in order to fasten suspicion upon
him, and thus shield themselves.
"To make a long story short, in due
time the trial took place, and Sir Regi
nald Glendenning, who had succeeded to
the title, testified to the bitter feeling
that had existed between the brothers.
He also identified the dagger and dress
ing gown as belonging to the prisoner.
Antoine Duval testified as fully to the
threatening language used to the de
ceased on the day previous to the mur
der by his brother.
"The trial was quite lengthy, but re
sulted in his acquittal and discharge
from custody. But although freed by
law, the popular opinion remained un
changed, and, unable to endure the cold,
averted looks of . his former friends, be
left his home and embarked for America
under an assumed" name.
"Arriving in New York, "the strain of
grief that he bad undergone so told upon
his nervous' system that he was laid
upon a bed of severe illness. Then it
was that your father sought bun out and
nursed him so tenderly. After his re
covery, he resolved to devote himself to
business, and thus forget his troubles
and misfortunes.

Top-Heat Hot Air Brooder.
The following is a description and
a diagram of a brooder which la In
use at the Mantana Experiment Sta
tion and Is recommended by them: It
was designed by Mr. James Rank en, a
veteran poultry breeder of Massachu
setts. Its construction Is as follows:
"A box Is made three feet square and
of four places of eight-inch lumber sur
faced. Upon the top of this box, for
a cover, is nailed a piece of sine entire
ly covering- the box. This zinc has a
hole In the center over which is sol
dered a pipe 1 Inches In diameter
and 22 Inches long-. This pipe Is sol
dered on the outside, the metal being
the top of the box. Next comes the
floor over this zinc, but not touching
it because an Inch strip, 1 by 1, should
be nailed on. around the outside In or
der to make an air space between the
floor and zina This strip should be
broken; midway on either side an Inch
opening should be left for the admis
sion of outside air to the space under
neath, the floor. The floor should be
made of "ceiling," smooth surface up.
Exactly in the center of this floor a
hole should be cut 2 inches In diam
eter and in this hole a pipe 2 inches
in diameter and 3 Inches long fastened.
This pipe should just extend through
the floor level with the underside of
the bottom. Through this pipe the
long ventilating pipe will go. This

completes the body part of the brood
er and a hover and top complete the
requirements. The hover should be
made in the form of a circle two feet
In diameter, In the center a hole large
enough to allow the vent pipe to pass
should be cut, and four legs S Inches
long tacked on to raise it to the re
quired height; then tack a light fringe
of jute sacking around the edge only
This Is the hover complete.
Next Is tbe top. Make another box
similar to bottom, using four pieces of
six-Inch lumber dressed. Upon oppo-
side sides a piece cut with . a doublt
pitch 3 feet long and 1 foot high in
the center should be nailed to form
the ends and the apex and joined with
a piece 34 inches long and 2 Inches
wide cut with bevel to allow the
screen doors, which should constitute
the two- sides of the roof, to fit snug
ly. This box portion should have a

for chicks to run in and out of the

in the space between it and the floor.

To Prevent Shying.
A plan for preventing a horse from
shying consists of a nose piece passing
ever the horse's nose, as shown in the
sketch. The strap
does not necessari
ly draw on the lip
unless the driver
pulls on It, then, it
touches the ani
mal's nose, and the
mere touch does
tbe whole business.
In describing this
device Its orlgiuat
"The contrivance consists of

simple head strap, properly braced and
coming down between the horse s eyes
and nostrils, to its end In the shape of
a sort of little metallic upper lip. The

horse may be drlzen right up
by the side of a noisy locomotive, or of
a gong-banging trolley car, that pre
sents to the horse, under ordinary cir
cumstances, the sinister aspect of a
moving, perhaps a living, thing, going
without any. visible means of propul
sion; and in his strict attention to the
new sensation at the tip of his nose he
will take no notice of the car or of the
locomotive. The queerest thing of all
is the fact that no amount of use or fa
miliarity with the nose-toucher ar
rangement seems to lessen the horse's
interest-in It."
Care for Brittle Hoofs.
Horses are frequently troubled with
brittle hoofs, caused by a deficiency of
water in the bone. This condition may
be caused by fever of the feet, as in
common founder; Inflammation of the
interior of the feet; exposure to fer
menting manure of filthy stables, by
which the horn . is saturated with
moisture containing ammonia. It may
also be caused by leaving the feet
covered with mud, or by continued dry
weather or other unhealthy conditions.
The horn may thus become dry and
granulated and often separates very
easily, crumbling and splintering away
until there is scarcely crust enough
left to fasten a shoe upon.
The remedy is to remove, the cause
and restore the moisture. Frequent
washing of the feet with cold water
will aid materially in curing. Glycer
ine and water in equal parts make ex
cellent dressings for the hoofs.
Butchering Outfit.
An Interested reader sends a sketch
for a one-man butchering outfit, as il
lustrated in the Ohio Farmer. A post
8 feet high has pivoted to Its top a
sweep 15 feet long. This sweep has a
hook on the short end and a rope on
the long end. The scalding barrel,
cleaning bench and hanging gallows
are. all on the circumference of the clr-
cle made by the short end of the
sweep. With an arrangement of this
kind it is apparent how one man can
easily do his own butchering.

The "mosquito plant," species of ba

in Nigeria says it is well known as a
mosouito defense there, and the na-

cure malarial fevers. As soon as a
hedge of this shrub was planted about
the Victoria gardens, Bombay, India,
the workmen, who had previously been
almost unable to work because of the
swarms of mosquitoes, had no further
trouble with either these pests or the
scourge of 'malaria from which they i
had beea suffering.
