A DOCTOR'S
STORY 1
By W1LLARD BLAKEMAN
i
ik 1 =
When I flrst set up my shingle as a
physician I was told by the older prac
titioners to look out for trap* set for
me by lawbreakers, for It Is the Inex
perienced doctor- who Is called upon to
aid them, they knowing very well that
an old bird Is not to b« caught with
chaff.
I had not been practicing long before
1 was asked one day to-call at a cer
tain address. I found a stately man
sion standing by Itself. 1 was admit
ted by. an elderly gentleman, whose
dress and appearance was in keeping
with the premises. He led uie into a
reception room and said to me:
"Doctor, you hare come some dis
tance and at the call of one unknown
to you. Under the circumstances I
do not think it fair to yon to ask you
to treat a patient without handing you
your fee in advance, and that fee
should be liberal"
Stepping to a little mahogany desk,
he wrote a check and handed It to me
It was for $50.
By this time It begnn to dawn upon
me that I had struck one of those
cases agatnst which I had been warn
ed. But I took the check and put it In
my pocket. It might get me Into trou
ble. but it might be valuable as evi
dence. The geutleman ledime upstairs
to a room where ft. uiuu was holding a
young womau down ou a lounge. She
was struggling to free herself from
him and was hysterical.
As soon as she saw me she became
more so than ever. My conductor took
me aside and In a low voice told me
that she waR Insane and he was in
tending to taku her tv a retreat for
such patients. She had been so via
lent that he feared she would injure
herself and desired that I give her
some soothing remedy.
I took a siiinn vim rrom my mom
cine case, dropped some of Its con
tents In a glass of water and, ap
proaching the young lady, told her to
drink It. She looked up at me with
a frightened glance and almost shriek
ed: "Don't poison me! I'll do any
thing If you won't poison me!"
Now, I am a believer In physical In
dications, and I consider myself an
adept at Interpreting them. If I see
two persons together whom I don't
know and have never seen before I can
tell If they are of the same blood. I
can also tell by a person's eye whether
he or she Is Insane. I looked Into the
young lady's eye and saw no evidence
of Insanity whatever. Another matter
Influenced me-tlie handsome fee 1 had
received In advance.
"Don't fear me," I said to her In a
reassuring voice. "I am a physician,
and this Is a simple soothing draft to
quiet your nerves."
She looked at' me searchlugly and
anxiously, evidently having: felt confi
dent that 1 had been brought In to
poison her.
"I don't need cuything to soothe me,"
she said, "If they'll only let me go
They took me from my home and
brought me here In a carriage. They
are going to shut me up for a lunatic."
"Drink It" I said, holding the glass
to her Lips. "It won't hurt you and
will do you good."
I told her with my eyes what 1 had
spoken with my voice, and she took
the dose. It was really a help to
her In restoring her equanimity and
lessening the advantage her enemies—
If they were such—had over her. Leav
ing her, I went to a window and, tak
ing out a prescription slip, wrote some
thing on It Then, casting my eyes up
at the- celling as If in thought I crum
pled the pa|>er in my list and taking
another slip wrote the prescription
for bread pills, which I handed to the
gentleman who hud me In charge and
who never took his eyes off nie for a
moment Then r went again to the
young lady and felt her pulse.
"Good day." I said- taking her hand
In mine. "Don't fear to take the medi
cine I have prescribed for you."
In the palm of my hand was the pre
scription slip I had crumpled, and I
left It in her palm, she closing her
hand on It What I had written was:
"I understand the situation. Leave all
to me. Do what they compel you to
do without struggling."
From her I turned to my conductor,
to whom I said that he need not give
her the medi ine prescribed unless she
became violent and If she became very
violent before he could remove her to
send for me. He seemed satisfied
with this and confident that 1 had
either been deceived or the fifty dollar
ohek had stifled any suspicions 1
might have.
I left the house and, going to a store
near by. telephoned my chum, Charlie
Knowlton. ' who had gone Into law
when I went Into medicine, to come to
me at once. For half an hour I watch
ed the house I had been in till Charlie
came, then told him the story, and in
half an hour more he had detectives on
the watch, Charlie rushed off to take
legal means to free the young lady and
succeeded, though I nerer quite under
stood how he managed It. He told me.
using a lot of Latin words—"de luna
tlco inquireiulo." "habeas corpus" and
all that—but I knew nothing of what
he meant
The case was one of those which
happen now and then wherein claim
ants to an estate attempt to get rtd of
a legal heir by claiming him or her to
be of unsound mind and unable- to
manage property.
Charlie made a fortune-by the opera
tion. for he married the heiress, while
I, poor devil, even returned the check I
had received for my fee.
