It may Lave beeu indigestion of '

it lacked aroinn, or I lacked Bjipici iu

watching the people come and go.

rival of their diuuer.
It was at uooii. I had finished my
midday meal in a restaurant iu Sim
l'i nin,iv'o, and fat thinking, not very
f!;ii-i-ll v, of tin; scenes around me, nud
ul.so of'i.iy uncertain prospects in a cer
tain game called ,liff," in which 1 was
lib nit to start as u professional man.
1 had ju-t jrra.lnat e-1 from tbo Aun Ar

with luv diploma, a few huudred dol

had i:j;i;j West to build lip a prac

fieldon (i.ito of tbo "great Western
dope, uud liit 1 spent tbe first feu
days "seeing things." Hut now I
had lul l my lill of idleness. I a
anxious to get to work, both for the
phas ue of ooeii)atioii anil the Ihiuti- :
eta! emoluments thereof, of which I
!d soon be iu need.
I was practically ulono in tho world.
It ha I not been so up t ) the second
rear of my college life. My father
was a Men-hunt of St. Louis. He was
. i v bn. I of me. He and I were all
that were left of a siimll family. Ho
ha 1 gem rou-.!y provided for mi; dur
ing my sc'ioo'.-day.s, and been ex
tremely liberal as to my allowance

Hut ho succumbed to u midden
ntt.iek of pneumonia, leaving me en
tirely ah -ue. He left no iHrye estate.
Aft er si tticig ii)i his affairs, I found
in v oil with enough money to eotn
f. i ,ab;y s.-e mo through college and
b ave to nio the little I now possessed
ts w ..I king capital."
I hud nut yet opened on olliee. That

shaking oil' the some w hat morbid spirit
that had c .me over mo, 1 paid ley
bill, and strolled out of the restaurant.
I hal noticed iu sonic of my walks

In this direction 1 turned my steps.

J had i ia lo during my present short
f o .urn. Hut I was full ofthe pluck
i.f youth. My ambition was to be
come a siieco-fiil practitioner and,
Mune limo, to bo the owner of one of
the beautiful fruit ranches that make
California famous.
I experienced little difficulty in
ri'aio!.'? mi olliee. Tho rent, after all.

mo at what was really a reasonable
ligure the four front rooms of the first i

v.il'o the four rear rooms all they !
needed for their comfort. The rooms j
were finely decorated and well lighted; j
and as flats were Hoinetbin;; of a liov-
t-ltv in Sail Francisco, I paid a deposit I

to myself that the very novelty of itself j

I was very prou J. Tart of them wero
lieal works 1 bad purchased din
ing my college career, but tho greater
portion of them had been my father's.
Ruck of the library was my bedraom.
H iving arriiugcd these things to. my
pati. f.iction, after a caroful survey, 1
considered myself tho best-located
physician on the hill. T listened with
a 'ileg'-ee of pride to the lauda-

Despite tin-predict ions of my friend,

I did not tin I the populace, waiting with

Not mu. ii of a call. Kcueial'.y, but

Within
1 docks uf tnv office
there was
where tho s

magnificent church,
ging was grand, the
unl tho preaching very
modern.
Here I Mas wont to betake myself
Sunday morning, and sit calmly and
ipiietly, rest fully listening to the
neals of the great organ, as, under a
Tear tay cetiior, welcomed rne
oonlinlly iuto bis circle. I respected
tbe preat truth expounded by my
learned friend. My daily life and
babitu were not iu discord with a
churchman's rule, I had no vices;
not bec:muo my principles were so
strongly against them, but I bud in
herited a rugged will fnen my father,
and, like him, I coiisi b i c. a man who
allowed himself to be controlled by
vicions tastes a fool.
My acquaintance continued pralu
iilly to trow. I knew plenty of youns
ladies, but I was not a ladies' muii. 1
knew a lare number of vomitf men,
Home who like myself were but start
in out in their chosen life-work, mid
others w ho bad no need to pcrind, but
w bo were the fortunate sous of w ealtby
men.
Nor was my acipiiiinlanco limited
to the yoiiucor element of San l"iau-ci-co
society. I was tbo recipient of
manv piHi'inus bows und handshake
from tlio substantial men iu 1 w.uiieu
ofthe Park street emigi e.'al ion, suc.e
of w hom lived ui li le residences uii
Nob Hill.

Langstoii mi l I bad met at some of
i the social gatherings, iu which f was
beu-iiiliiiij,' to be -or. lit lea-t, to feel
, like a familiar tuuie. My ley;al

oilier new friend, I'uiner by nnm .-,
w ho kept a well-appointe 1 dr:l,'-stor I
near my olliee. Ho was a good I'd- )
low. t-o'mewhat prosy, it is true, but, j
on the whole, au iigree.inlo i-u.ipau- j
ion. j
My associates nt tho boarding- j
house remained almost r.mei s to j
me, for 1 was there very little. f.
generally got my breakfa-t there, an 1 j
sometimes my i'lmi'u, b it Kingston ,
and 1 w. re extravagant euou 'ii l i j

n. 0. led medicine, woul 1 come to me.

Many and many a timed! I we linger
over our edicts and pla i bnllin
for the future; and when tin- walls ot
our castles bocuno ibiugcrously hi ;!i,
we wnu!dtniubli) them down with a
laugh and liud eouipanioiis for a whist
table. Matters progressed in this way for
nearly a year. Cirftduiiiy my li.tlo
practice grew, nud with care I colli 1
live wicuu my income. .My circle oi ;
friends slowly increased as well, uud I j
began to feel myself in a sphere which :
might iiitimo become a useful as weilai j
n payingone. My main auibition n w ;
was to have a practice that would j
enable uie to 'ive well and keep a ;
npan of fast horses. It looked very j
business-like, 1 thought, for a doctor i
to be seen driving furiously through
tho streets, as if the lives of his
patients depended More ou the speed
of his horses than ou bis skill.
I expected no change iu my plans. !
I w us anchored iu San Francisco, and I
o.xiiccted to speu 1 my life there. I I
bad heard and read of creatures of
fortune, swept hero and there by tho
tide nf unexpected events; but iu my
prosaic, humdrum life there was noth
ing to i iultc.it e that suoli a futd was iu
store for inc.
Perhaps it was better that it was so.
One dark n'.gbt in December, after
I had my dinner and made n few un
important professional visits, I w.n
thrown on my own resources t i pa'i
away the lime, by t'.ie fact th it l.aii'.-s-ton
ha I a very pressing business en
gagement out of town. As wi-.s usual
at such times. I wan iered into
Phii.ter's. Phi' tor was talkative, and j
as tliat suited my mood, I not musing,
unheeding tho (light of time. Tho
wind began to blow, uud tho rain
enmo down in torrents.
"Criekmore," said Piihter, peel ing
from behind his colored bottles out.
int.i tho night, "this is the wor t
Sin Francisco has bad in live yean.
You are lti.'Uy not to be out in this.''
"Possibly," I said, with some
doubts. ' I a-n lu-ky t be in here,
and then ngniu possibly I am not.
I You forget that I have got to go out iu
the rniu t get homo."
"Not a bit of it, doctor. .Tu -t you
throw yourself down ou the ton igo
back here in the olliee, a i l sin re
away till morning. I wouldn't go o it
to-night for anybody."
"Well, I'll see. lint it's early yet
only eleven o'clock. It may slop
liy midnight."
H it it did not stop. If anything, it
got worse. At mi luig'nt 1'his.ter ! -g.m
to prepaio to leave for his apart
ment upstairs. While he was fussing
around with his lights, counting his
ensli and straightening up shelves, I
