The poor tn m was in a terrible pliojst Hh was subject to rheumatism, acme and painful, and a thorough wem g by rain would be aure to bring it on. As a strange unci ghos' lv luck w mid h:ve it, ut that moment the old sextoa came uj on his hearse. He had to drive directly hv Hie doctm's door. The good man hailed him and begged for a tide. "I shall die if I get wet," he said. "Theic ain't room up here, D ct ir, for only one, and a plagued small seat at that; but if you're a mind to gel in side, you can dt no. S ikes nlie! I'd lather tide in there strong and well than dead" The doctor did not stop long to can. sirtnr.
