Washoe Pete was generally considered a "bluffer'- by the crit ics of Dodie. and his wild exagger ations were the subject of merir ment only in that high old town.

One day last summer Pete walk ed into StrobridgeV saloon with the remark that he,had 'heerd the Last Chance was goin to be sold, and they've sent up an expert to ltok iuto it." , The expert, a pale, small man, dressed in - gray, was standing at the bar, and looked around as the tall would-be ruffian uttered these words.

H, 6HAUBR00K. - The next night about 9 o'clock I was disturbed by a ring of tho bell. On opening the door I found it to be Dr. Edgar of whom I hav( spoken before. We chat ted for a while t bout things in general, and the book I was writ ing. He said he had come to see if he could get- myas3U.tance:in helping him dissect a subject 1id bad obtained in a somewhat sin gular manner, which offjrded a very good study ot the nerves. We had loft my otnee, and were walking up town when Edgar aked me when I could assist him in the operation, and if I could not come to-night. xo, it i. impossible to assist you to-night, or I have a patient : that I must be with aid the crisis ot his diss order should occur to-night," said I. ,4Can you com ' tomorrow at ekv . "No, I have a lec- ureat that hour.', iBut, stop," rephed Kdgar, i- "we are at the door of my house, will you not come in and take a' look at mj subject?" Thanks; I shall be glad to, as have heard some, very flattering reports about you. '.For the best, I suppose," cried Kdgar, at the same time unlocking a door which he told me to hut and stand still a mmute, ar he had a secret passage by which he entered Lis other room. We then entered the other door and. by the glare of a match, which he struck, I unserved '.that the room was tilled with boxes, casts, ins 8trumeuts, bouks and all other horrible impedimenta of a eurgi" cal retreat. He then lighted -the gas ami 1 perceived that a table with some thing upon it stood m the middle of the room. It was covered with a cloth that hung down on either si Je about4 inches; it resembled a rresh - grave covered with enow, aud lifting the cloth I saw it was the . body ot a. ve.y young lady. As Edgar turned on more gas, he Baid she was tho nicest featured lady h had ever seen, i theu took nold of i her haud and noticed that there was a ied spot in the center, and a stripe on the haok. It e2med to be the same bund, and the same lady, ti at came to my oraco the my; lit before, and I was so certain ot it that I told Dr. Edgar ot the oc currence aad asked him where he procured the body, and lie said : I was in a certain pltco a, few eveiuugs ago, auu M,f.aiicu. see a lady who was tery-stCK.

After telling Dr. Edgar I would assist him to-morrow at twelve, I departed tor my homo. It was after eleven when I had closed my lecture, and was just stepping trom the platform when I met Dr. Edgar; and together we proceeded to the di&ceettnroom. Ihe subject lay cold as snow apparently no more life than a stone.
