There was the nonce, of crowding
feet and hushed hut ewlted voices.
Joung Dr. Allen R-?ve, Just at th
threshold of professlnl practice, fac
ed a group of half a Sw.en women a ad
children who bore Ic their midst the
figure of an exceedlnVv beautiful girl,
but limp, lifeless, her face devoid of all
l!olor.
"It was at the alley, Doctor Reeves."
babbled forth one of the women. "She
was passing its end when Murphy's
horse ran away. She was brushed
against the wall and she went down
like a broken flower. She is so still
and white. Is it dead she is!"
The poor of the neighborhood knew
the young physician well In time of
illness and trouble and were friendly
and familiar. Doctor Reeves spoke a
reassuring word.
' "NJ bones broken, one shoulder
bruised quite badly, but there's the
shock," he said to Mrs. Hannlgan.
"Just hold this phial to the nostrils
and fan the young lady till I go to the
drug store and get soma medicine I
find I have run out of."
The young doctor moved with celer
ity, lie was not a man given fo triv
ia! impulses, yet his whole soul was
enlisted in the present case. Never
In-his life had a lovely face so impress
ed him as that of this haphazard pa
tient. He wondered who she could be,
obtained the remedy he was after and
was not gone from his office more than
ten minutes. His face clouded as he
entered it, for his absence, brief as It
was, had been of sufficient duration to
mark the return to consciousness of
his mysterious patient and her depar
ture :
"I couldn't stay her, doctor dear,"
explained Mrs. Hannlgan. "She wan
all nervous and troubled. She said
she must hurry to a train and that her
sister had her railroad ticket. And
when I told her of you she looked at
your picture on the wall there and
said you must be a truly kind-hearted
num. Then she said something about
having no money and after she'd gone
I found this lying on the little stand
yonder.
"Tills" was a small pretty finger
ring holding an amethyst surrounded
by small pearls. Along Its Inner rim
was the Inscription : "Anice from Sis
ter." Doctor Iteeves traced an ele
ment of pathos In the situation. This
Anice, whose fair fentures were so
powerfully Impressed upon his mind,
bad left the ring In lieu of the money
for his fee. He mnde a great many
vnln Inquiries regarding its owner the
next day, but It was of no avail.
Plotro Santos, a settlement favorite
who mude and peddled plaster of pari
Images, was brought Into his office
that afternoon with an Injured limb,
trnd this distracted bis thoughts from
this provoklngly beautiful and persist
ently haunting Anice. She was hack

however, within a few hours. Iteeves
attached a ribbon to the ring mid wore

":i-a de country, doctor." announced
I'litni a month later, all mended up
I'm. staring on one of his usual
trips nwny from the city. "Owe-a for
.von fix-a Pletro tip so flue. Pny-n
when I come hack."
"Don't you worry about that." snld
the young physician, waving the grate
fill Itinerant an encouraging adieu.
Two afternoons later at the edge of
a little village pletro came across a
gang of rough loafers, who Bttacked
him, took his hard-enmcd money,
botipd hlnv and. setting his pretty
ware on fence post as targets, pro
reeded to demolish them. An hour la
ter, passing the spot, a moan attracted
the attention of a fair, gentlelared
girl. Dr. Allen Iteeves would have gtv
en a good deal to have wen, fr
was the patient who had disappeared
so disappointingly Anice Merrill.
Her true sympathetic soul n re
vrnled a she set the victim of bru
tality and hnvoe free and heard his
prtbetle story. She led him to her
home, cared for him until the next
day and even provldel him with the
money to ruy hit far to hli city
home.
"You tnv-a my courage, my life." bo
told Anice. "I never forget. When I
