Once at Green Peace my father was
going to drive with my mother and my
sister Florence in a closed carriage
with a large window in front.
As tbe driver was mounting the box
he dropped his whip and got down to
recover It. This startled the young
horses, and they bolted down tbe
driveway.
My father tried to open tbe big win

The apothecary exclaimed In horror
He could not. be would not. without a
Burgeon's order. It was out of the

"I am a surgeon." said my father
“and I command you to cut It off.”
It was cut off. My father dressed
tbe wound wltb bls other band and
