Old Dr, Sylvester Baird does not prac tice now. He is retired upon a very fine income, the result of long yean of practice, very sttccessfal too, in a med ical point of view, and being bachelor lores to gather such of hi old cronies as time haa spared about him, nnawed by the presence of petticoats or the domi neering of grown up children, whose rapid modern views are intolerant of old fashioned ways, and who, although they do not express it in so many words, show that they are weary waiting the inde pendence and power that money brings, and which they know must be their por tion when hand and brain that patiently gathered it are hidden away in the earth, with their lying, griefs cut in the cold and repulsive graveyard marble. One night the doctor and a few of his gray cronies were gathered around the blaze of Mb fireplace, in his solidly com fortable sitting room, comparing notes on a case of strychnine poisoning that had startled the town. Prom this special theme they drifted away to a general discussion of the peculiarities of prisons and then to poisoners, those who pur ned the dreadful trade of poisoning others for lucrative gain or place or power, in ages gone by. The doctor of divinity was especially well versed in all of tlio horrible cases of poisoning by the Bargtas of olden days, especially that far famed prelate, Cesare Borgia, who, as many historians allege, in conjuctirai with bis father, concocted the plan of poisoning four of the wealthiest cardi nals at an evening party in the '"ilia Corneto; but by mistake the poison, which was mixed with wine, was ad ministered to Alexander VI and Cesare himself. But Cesare wus saved, having partaken of but little of the drugged wine All the rest died. Then Ceaara seined upon the pajial treasures, but was afterward overthrown and banished. It would seem from what the reverend gentleman advanced that lie believed that everybody connected with the noble classes in those far back days were pois oners, and that every ambitious man or woman made his or her way to power through the medium of the poison oup. And then, a natural sequence to the process of reasoning indulged in by the cloth, he laid all the blame upon the theological tenets entertained by the people in those days, drawing from one of the retired 'uierdututs present the cynical observation, "How strangely like a woman the average clergyman reasons!" s . Whereat all present, inclusive of the good natnred clergyman himself, laughed pleasantly, while the latter continued in his bit and miss observations. He was satisfied from .his reading that as a rule poisoning was originally confined among the higher classes of society, and from this he drew the homily that as a rule adversity drew families closer together than prosperity; he was positive that adversity drew friends together with ' books of steel. When ambition stepped in the hooks of steel that bound friends together re laxed th.-ir grip, jealonsies were fo mented and the glitter of gold dried the dewy y of friendship. He did not think, barring insanity, that case of poisoning ever occurred among people in humble life. He bad yet to hear of such an instance. Talk as you will, he asserted, the humbler classes are the closest to (and and are the most obedient to his will. . Dr. Baird, who had his eye bent upon the tire while the not unpleasantly vol- " able clergyman was talking, looked up as be closed and suidt "One of your con clnding remarks somehow reminds me at strange oaue that came under my observation while 1 was in practice in ions of the largest cities of the United States, A watchman was taken sud denly ill while pacing his beat at 8:80 o'clock In the morning, and was carried : home, .i'v.-i '.. "The nearest physician, myself as It happened to be, was hurriedly called, and hastening thither 1 found the man in great distress, Administering iSooie thing to alleviate his pains, 1 came to i the' oonclusiou that it was a case of poison by strychnine. 1 put up the proper medicine, and on inquiry found that Dr. 0. was the regular family phy sician, The watchman's wife was a hand tome English woman, about US years of age, who stood at the foot of the bed during ray ministrations to her husband, with nothing peculiar about her except a pair of piercing bluck eyes, i do not know that 1 would have remem Joered the expression of her eves but for the fact that the watchman, in an interval of his paroxysms, groaned out,' 'Oh, doctor! I was all right until I ate .that little piece of pork.' "1 happraiwl to look up at the time and found the wife's eyes tout upon my face with a sharp scrutiny of suspicious in spection. But there was trouble written in her face, and 1 attributed the look at the time to the natural anxieties of a wife. I had a more important case on hand for that morning, and giving the necessary directions to the woman, to gether with instructions to call the fam ily physician next day, and believing that the watchman with the necessary attention was in a fur way of reoovery, I retired. ' "But the watchman died. I read of the fact in the newspapers, but found that no suspicions attached in the case; poison was not even hinted at. I re member only entertaining surprise at the time, but as the time wen); by the affair grew upon me to snch a degree that I was constrained by curiosity, which amounted to partial mania, to in vestigate. One day I happened in to the health office, where the record of deaths and their oausns are kept, and turning to the proper name found that the watchman's death was attributed to the intense heat which prevailed upon the night when he was found writhing upon ms oeat. "It instantly occurred to me that Dr. C, whom I knew, must have known from the man's general condition, as well as the medicine which I prescribed, that it was a case of strychnine poison ing, and 1 must confess that it struck me with a suspicion, which I instantly repelled, that the doctor was in some way particeps rriininis. I made it a point, however, to casually throw my self in his way, and to raise the question of the death of the watchman. The first few words which the doctor dropped convinced me that he was in no way mixed up in the mysteries of the death. "He stated briefly that when he was colled the man was dying, with only a few breaths left in his body. The wife hod informed him that I had been gone but a short tame before he was called, and that I had said her husband had been overcome by the heat and some thing the watchman had eaten, which disagreed with his stomach. The fact is Dr. C had not been called in until the afternoon. On comparing notes Dr. C. became interested, and knowing the people in the neighborhood, where he was often called, began a course of cau tious inquiry, and iu the course of time gave me the following facts: "When the watchman died, and while the preparations fur the funeral were go ing on, the widow gave great scandal to the neighborhood on account of her de portment. Her face was absolutely radiant with the happiest of expressions and the sound of her voice was as joyous as the expression of her face. Hhe talked glibly on the most trivial of subjects and welcomed people as though a wedding instead of a funeral were going on. No ticing finally that jiomeof the callers were shocked at her actions, she became demure and aileut, and called np an affectation of sudden grief, but it did not lost long: the old radiance came back, and it seemed that the short time of her simulated grief redoubled the in tensity of her broadly apparent happi ness when her natural feelings tri umphed. "In due time after the burial of her husband she drew $2,000 insurance money from a life, insurance company, and, disposing o! such effects as she had, bought tickets lor herself and family of three children to England. It was only after her departure that Dr. C. learned that tiie medicines which I had pre scribed had not been administered, but had been thrown iu a closet, where they were found intact subsequently. She kold a neighbor that her reason for doing this was that she was a Catholic, and would not give her husbandaaProtestant doctor's medicine. . "Having started into thc)B-rjstigation together, Dr. C. and inyseli extended it to the subsequent career of this woman. On her arrival in England, where, as it transpired, her girlhood's lover lived, she sought him out, and found that he had entered the British army as a com mon soldier. But, nothing deterred by this, she flew to his arms, and they were married, although she knew him to be a common drunkard, only saved from a drunkard's grave by the rigid discipline of the army. . "And ere long she also knew that she was indifferent to his selfish egotism and swinish character. She loved him and she was near him, and that was all she oared. He beat her, but she loved the band that rained the blows upon her head. He squandered every dollar of the money which she possessed, and when his regiment was ordered to the West Indies he left without even taking a farewell look at her as she lay, not only iu a bed of sickness but in a bed of poverty, with her three children in the poorhoiue. She only wept, but never upbraided her heart's love when she heard how be had brutally deserted her," As the doctor ceased the cynical mer chant hummed the line, " 'Tis love that makes the world turn round."
