PROLOGUE.

Yes, it was utterly inexplicable. Sa strange, indeed, were all the cirenmstances, and so startling the adventures that befel me in my soarele after truth that until today I have hesitate to relate the narrative, which is as extraordinary as it is unique in the history of any living man

Hitherto, my terary efforts linre been con fired to the writing of half-ilegible prescriptions or an ocasional contribution to sue or other of the wetlical journals; but at the suggestion of the one who is dearest to me on earth I have how resolve to narrate the whole of the a tonishing facts in their dine sequence, without stoking to disguise anything but to lay bare ny secrat and to place the whole matter unreserved ly before the render.

Then followed an inquest, exposure, vensure from the coroner, a rider from the jury, and my employer with perfect sang-froid suscoiled in fastering the blame upon myself in order to save the scanty reputa- tion he still orjoyed over the countryside,

The jury vere, of course, unaware that ho was intoxicated when he attended the men and committed the fatal blander, while I. in perfect innoconco, kad obeyed his injunctions. It is useless, however, to protest before a coroner, therefore, I at once rosigned my position, and that same night returned again to London full of indignation at the treatment I had received.

For the rest, ronder. I shall be quite straight forward and open in my confession without the affectation of academic phrase, even though I may be a physicun whose consulting room in Hailey Strust is invariably full, whose fees are heavy, and whose name figures in the public prints as the medical adviser of certain le ders of society.

I can at all times be frank, and sometimes confidential.

In the wild whirl of social London there occur daily incidents which, when written down in black and white, appear absolutely incredible. Amid the forerod rush of daily life in this our giant city of violet contrasts, the city where one is aft-times so lonely among millions, and where people starco and dis in the very midst of reckless extravagance and waste, one wori

inios meets with adventures quite as astound ing as those related by the pioneers of civili sation; adventures which, if reconoted by the professional novelist, must of necessity be ac- opted with considerable reserve.

Reader, I am about to take you into my con- doncs. Think for a moment. Have you not read in your daily paper true statements of fact far stranger than any over conceived by the writer of fiction? Have you not sat in a dull dispiriting London police court and witnessed that phantasmagora of comedy, tragedy and mystery presented to that long-suffering public servant, the Metropolitan Stipendiary?

If you hure, then you will agree that romance i qually distributed over Greater London Love is as honest and heart beat as true in Peckham, Paddington, or Plaistow as in that fashionable half-mile area around Hyde Park Corner; life is as full of bitterness and broken idols in Kensington as it is in Kentish Town, Kennington, or the Old Kent Road. The two worlds rab slinaldera, All that is most high und noble mingles with all that is basest and most criminal; therefore, it is not surprising that the unwary frequently fall into the cus- ningly-dovised traps prepared for them, and even the mest prosaic perscus raost with queer and exciting adventures.

CHAPTER I.

MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE.

My worst enemy--and alas! I have many would not accuse me of being of a remantic disposition.

In the profession of medicine any romance acquired in one's youth or college days is knocked out of one by the first term at the hospital. The medical student quicidy be comes, in a manner, callous to human suffering, and by the time to obtains his degree he is generally a shrewed and sympathetic observer, but with every spark of romanci ernshed dead within his heart. Thus, there is no bachelor more confirmed than the calibate doctor.

I had left Guys a year. It is not so very long ago, for I am still under forty young, they say, to have made my mark. True success has come to me suddenly, and very unworthily I think, for I confess that may advancemeat has been more by good luck than by actual worth. Indeed I have very often felt that after all, our knowledge of human ailments and the causes, even with all the rent bacteriological dis- coveries, is very meagre, and that I am but little better than a charlatan. We doctors do our Loss, but if the plain truth be spoken, our know- ledge, with all its recent advancement, is very snparticial, and there is still a good deal of -quackery in our methods.

At Guys I had been nuder McCormac and other great men, whose names will over remain as medical landmarks, but when I left with my degree I quickly discovered that the doctor's calling was anything but lucrative As in every other walk of life the medical profession. because it is considered gouteel, is overcrowded. Thore is, of course, an outlet in certain of our malarial colonies, but for the doctor who desires to remain in England, and is entirely dependent opon his practice for an income, the outlook was then, as it now is, an exceedingly uninvit ing one,

It is the one highway in London that never changes.

I had strolled along to the corner of Bedford Street, down-learted and low-spirited, I rust Ah! to know how absolutely lonely a confess. man can be amid those burrying millions, one, must be penniless. In the seven years that had passed, most of my friends had dispersed, and those who still remained cared little for a ne'er- do-well such as wyself. In that walk I caluly reviewed to situation. Away in quiet old Shrewsbury my white haired widowed mother lived frugally, full of fond thoughts of her only boy. She had brought herself to the verge of poverty in order that I might complete my studios and become a doctor. Poor mother! She belier- ed, like so many believe, that overy docter makes a comfortable income. And I had worked, nuy slaved, night and day, through seven whole years for less wage than an average artisan!

They like to be looked at in the mouth.

One afternoon, while we were sitting together smoking in his little den shove the surgery, he made a sudden suggestion.

"Do you know, Dick. I scarcely like to ask you, but I wonder whether you'd do men favour?"

"Most cartainly, old chap," I responded,

Even though you incur a great respon sibility !"

"What is the responsibility ?"

"A very grave one. To take charge of this extensive practice while I go down to Bristol

"Why, of course," I responded. "I'll look after things with pleasure.

I had not dined, for truth to tell, I had hesitat-and see my people. I haven't been home for a of to change my last sovereign, but the pange of hunger ruined me that nothing had passed my lips since the breakfast in my dingy lodging, and knowing of a cheap eating-house in Covent Garden, I had paused for a moment at the corner. Next instant I felt a hearty alap on the back, and a cheery voice cried

"Why, Calkirk, old fellow, what's up? You look as though you're going to a funeral!"

I turned quickly, and saw a round fresh- coloured familiar face before 1ae,

"By Jore I exclaimed in pleasant surprise, Raymond. Is it roully you?" And wo grasped hands heartily.

I fancy," he laughed. "At least, it's what there is left of me. I went out to Acera, you know, got a sharp touch of fever, and they only sent bank my skeleton and skin."

Bob Raymond was always morty and amas ing. He had been the humorist of Lay's in my time, the foremost in practical joking and the most backward in learning. The despair of more than one eminent lecturer, he had merer. thel ss been one of the most popular fellows in our set, and hund occupied diggings in the next house to where I lodged in a mean street off Newington Butts.

Well, I laughed, "if you left your flesh behind you on the West Coast you're filled out since. Why, you're fatter than ever. What's your beverage? Cod-liver oil P

No, Just now its whisky and seltzer with a big chunk of ica. Come into Romano's and have one. You look us though you want cheer- ing up."

I accepted his invitation, and we strolled back to the bar he had mentioned.

He was a short, fair haired, sturdily-built follow, with a round face, which gave hina the appearance of an overgrown boy, a pair of bine eyes that twinkled with good fellowship, cheeks tint struck, me as just a trifle too ruddy to be altogether healthy, a smail mouth, and tiny, drooping, yellow moustache. He wore a silk hat of brilliant gloss, a frock-cont as be camo one of the profession," and carried in his hand a smart ebony came with a silver hook. I noticed as we stood at the bar that his hat bulged slightly on either side, and knew that in it was concealed his stethoscope. He was there fore in practice.

Thanks. You're a brick. I won't be away for more than a week. You won't find it very laborions. There's a couple of kids with the croup round in Angol Roul, a bed-ridden oki girl in Bridge Road, and a man in Beadon Road who seems to have a perpetual stomach- nohe. That's about all."

I smiled. He had not attempted to diagnose the stomach-ache, I supposed." He was indeel a carelem fellow.

"Of course, you'll pocket all the fees," he added, with a touch of grin hautour. They're not very heavy-bobs and half-crowns, but they may keep you in tobacco till I come back."

And thus I became the lecam telions of the. not tos ertensive practice of Robert Raymond, surgeon, for he departed for Paddingtou en the following evening, and I entered upon my somewhat lonely dutica

The first couple of days passed without in cident. I visited the two children with sup looked in upon the bed-ridden relict of a bibulous furniture lealer, and examined the stomach with the perpetual pain. The latter proved a much more serious case than I had supposed, and from the first I saw that the poor fellow was suffering from an inearable disease. My visits only took an hour, and the rest of the day I spent in the little den upstairs, smoking, furiously and reading.

On the third morning, shortly before mid- day, just as I was thinking of going out to make my round of visits, an unusual incident occurred I heard a cab stop outside, and a moment later the surgery bell was violently rung.

I started, for that sound was synonymous with half-a-crown. Not once during the three weeks I had been Bob's guest had the surgery bell been reng except between six and eight in the evening, the hours of consultation.

I smoothed down my hair, re-arranged my cravat, slipped on my black coat-for I had been sitting in my shirt sleeves-and after the lapse of some live minates, descended in expectation.

A mikile-aged woman in black, evidently domestic servant, stood in the surgery, and as confronted ker, asked breathlessly, Are you the doctor, sir 2"

I replica in the affirmative, and asked her ta be seated.

Over our drinks, we briofly rolated our ex- periences, for we had both left the hospital at the same form, and had never met or heard ofI'm sorry to trouble you, sir," she said, "but each other since. I told him of my denilgery, would you come round with me. My mistres disappointment, and despair, to which he listened has been taken works,” with sympathetic ear.
