. The next move was to place the ring
on the finger, and the well dreamd dia

pawnbroker's and pledge the ring for at
least three times its worth. ; Within It

"Doctor," he said, "my eyes have

After a few preliminary questions the
doctor told him to strip himself to the

there, a maKnificent speciuwo of man
hood. The doctor examined him, pay
ing liarticnlar attention to his back, for
a reason "of 4vhicb I know nothing.
Having finished, hesaidt - " -
