BY MRS. A. ELMORE,
5 LONG, vacant office oppo
A site one of the principal
i 0 hotels in Kansas City,
Mo., had found an at
WJf' tractive tenant. Very rap¬
idly uiT the indications of neglect dis¬
appeared under the vigorous superin¬
tendence of a cheery faced, brisk little
woman, who unceremoniously ejected
the, spiders. and cemented the en
trances through wl non many mice
jeame and went hitherto Avitliout fear j
of mole itioi).
A dusky faced "artist in lime” pre
sided for a few hours, and. Avas l'ol- i
lowed by a painter, avIio eyed the brisk ! |
little lady tenant very critically while 1
obeying her orders. —......
One alter another added specimens
of their skill and were dismissed, mi-
til, in the full splendor of a bright-lined
carpet, lace curtains, burnished chan¬
deliers, tasteful furniture, and all the
little odds anil ends that go to prow a
woman’s presence, the occupant felt
that she was "at home.”
Then at the foot of her stairs, and on
her entrance door, appeared some very
modest signs, reading simply. "A. Ru
denheimey. M. D.”
Scarcely had "the ucaa- sensation” in
ncAvs opened its wings'for a free flight
over the city to announce the presence
of the audacious female — who, of
course, being “a stranger,” must also
be "an adventuress”— Avlien she avms
^called to the hotel oyer the way to at¬
tend one of tiie guests, who had been
discovered by the chambermaid in the
delirium of a violent attack of fever.
The mandate. "Run for a doctor!"
was obeyed by a veritable son of Erin,
who returned in a state of .excitement
about "the lady doctor” which far ex¬
ceeded that produced by the probabil¬
ity that the sick man was beyond the
reach of medical aid.
Very quietly Miss Badenheimer
donned her neat hat. turned the key in
her door, and crossed the street to visit
her first patient in her neAV home in the
West.
Self-possessed, conscious of her abil¬
ity, as AA-ell as her womanliness, she
entered the room, where three or four
men were vainly endeavoring to con¬
trol the patient.
With a half muttured curse one of
f a man glanced contemptuously at the
slight figure and girlish face, and rude¬
ly blurted out:
"I sent for a doctor—what brought
yon here?”
“I am a physician, and came at your
bidding." replied the lady, very quiet¬
ly. as she Avnlked toward the window.
where the sick man was struggling in
the hands of his captors.
A slight start and a half-suppressed
exclamation of surprise caused the first
speaker to say. emphatically:
“There’s a Avoman doctor for you.
ShoAVS till’ white feather at the first
ugly sight.
Apparently not heeding his words
the lady placed her un >vf-il hand on
tin* sick man's oroAV. saying, softly:
"You arc very ill and mu-t be quiet.
Allow these men to place you ou the
bed."
Almost instantaneously a change
came over the man. and he su tted.
without another Avord of remit mice
to the kindly attentions offered him by
strangers.
"Do you happen to know him?”
asked the landlord, rather abruptly, as
be turned toward the little indy.
“I think that I have met him before
♦o-day,” she answered, "but there is no
time to lose in unnecessary talk, I
want a good rse for him a strong.
rouble man. a.id I iu’-lsl have a room
more remote from the noise of the
street. He cannot recover here.”
‘‘ 01 >, then, you stick to his being your
patient, do you?” rather sueeringly
from the landlord.
"I certainly do." was the answer, in
a tope so firm, and accompanied by a
look so determined that no ordinary
man would dare to gainsay either.
As might have been expected, "the
doctor” had her own way, retaining
her position as physician and blending
it with that of a very attentive nurse.

perceptible change in the consuming

hurriedly went on his way.
The telegrams were followed by the
presence of Papa Badenheimer, a stout
looking, evidently “well to do” and
very jolly old farmer, whose hearty
laugh and merry jokes enlightened the
inquisitive as to the post of doctor and
patient.
“Ann." the old gentleman explained,
was determined to be a doctor, arguing
always that was “her sphere,” and
that “she should never marry any
one.” Her lover bitterly opposed her
professional ambition, until, at last,
argument gave place to anger, and they
parted, the one to seek the long-craved

A program for the running meet
at the coming state fair at Atlanta

The -program is for a twelve-day

or aa ich purses ranging irom $159
to $350 have been offered.
The eleventh day of tue meet, Fri¬
day, October 20, is to be “Roosevelt

a great many special feature arranged
for the occasion. Among them will be
a special program at the race track.
There will be no harness races dur

running race, as it has been estab¬
lished time and again that this is by
far the most popular phase of racing,
as far r.s Atlanta is concerned. It is
, expected that the meet this year will
not only be of unusual merit, but also
that it will be splendidly patronized.

ray, Ga., where she had been sent
on a visit, that her mother and Jamt.
Hix, also a sawmill man, who boarded
at the home of the Leas, killed her
father.
The story is one of the most re
vclting in the criminal annals of
Tennessee. Lea was found hanging bv
a rope which was attached to one of
the beams of the sawmill, his tre'Sk
broken. A coroner’s jury pronounced
him a suicide. Then Hix and Mrs. Lea
