A DOCTOR’S STORY. \ ~~~ On ft fine summer day in the year 187-. I was proceeding by the South western railway to visit a friend and former patient, a resident of Portsmouth It is not often that a medical man gets a holi day. and but for the kindness of a fellow practitioner, in taking my practice for a fortnight. I should not have had this op portunity of enjoying the sea breeze The train by which 1 started was an early one. and. having procured my ticket, 1 took my place iu u second class carriage and lit tny cigar for it was a smoking car riage On entering it 1 was surprised, and, I think naturally so. to find the far tber corner of it occupied by a lady “Oho'” said l. inwardly, “some fast American demoiselle who desires to in dulge in a cigarette ” On observation, however, it appeared to me that the features of my fellow trav eler did not bear upon t hem that impres sion of cuteness which marks American nationality She had soft, brown eyes, a full, round face and a profusion of chest nut hair She was dressed in a plain traveling suit, bound with white braid, and wore a straw hat. “Maybe a German,” I soliloquized; “they are terrible smokers. ” But again it occurred to me that possi bly the young lady might he neither American nor German, but had got into the carriage without noticing that it was one reserved for the use of smokers. Under this impression I bowed slightly to her, saying “l fear my cigar may annoy you. Per haps you are not awaro that this is a smoking compartment?" U “Oh. yes, " sh 6 answered, with a slight German accent, “yes, yes, yes, yea.” There was something peculiar in her slow, deliberate utterance and the four times repeated monosyllable A dreamy look, too, iu the speaker’s eyes, as if her mind was preoccupied However, the train was now in motion, and 1 had noth ing for it but to esconce myself in my corner, look out of the window and take a bird’s eye view of the surrounding house tops For a short time this was well enough; but I began at last to weary of the monot ony of such an amusement We English men. as a rule, are so reserved and unso ciable that wo shrink into ourselves and every fresh addition to the occupants of a railway carriage or an omnibus is received with black looks and a sort of tacit intima tion that lie has no right to enter Now, I am free to confess that, whatever my failings, want of sociability is not one of them; and 1 determined to try to engage my companion in a little conversation. There could be no impropriety in a man of my age (I was 88) endeavoring to beguile the tedium of a lazy journey by convers ing with a fellow traveler, a school girl— and certainly not out of her teens. It was. therefore, with an almost, paternal feeling that I addressed her “There are not many passengers by this train.” I remarked “Two thousand and three.” was the answer, that not a little startled my equanimity 1 looked <it the speaker, expecting to find a mischievous smile dancing in her eyes, or lurking at the corners of her mouth Nothing of the sort She was perfect ly serious, even stern, and her eyes had still the same dreamy far away look in them “Very absent minded, or else in love,” 1 thought to myseif. However, I tried again “I think we shall have a fine day for our journey.” I ventured to remark. She turned upon me with that fierce, despairing, yet restless look that we see in a trapped rat “How you talk, talk, talk!” she said in dignantly “But” “Are you mad?" she screamed In a tone of intensified shrillness, and with such an awful, hungry look in her eyes, that tho truth Hashed upon me like an inspiration. She was mad! Medical man as I am. a feeling of hor ror overcame me when I reflected that I was shut up alone in the carriage of a train, traveling at express speed, with a lunatic True, 1 was a strong man. she only a girl But it is Inconceivable what extreme strength is possessed by many of the insane I have known a woman thus afflicted require two. and even three, powerful men to restrain her during one of her paroxysms However, 1 endeavored to keep as cool as possible as I looked the young girl steadily in the face She looked at mo for a moment or so without quailing; then she sank back in her corner, resumed her apathetic posture and sat gazing out of the window’ with the far away look in her eyes, as if no such person as myself was in existence “Poor girl!” I thought; and I began to wonder who or what she could be, and how she came to be traveling alone. Could she have escaped from an asylum? If so how came she to be possessed of suf ficient funds to procure a railway ticket? 1 had had some experience in “mad cases.” and I knew that the most out rageous ones are those where the patient maintains an even sullenness of de meanor The girl's case did not seem to me to be one of them On the contrary, her sudden change of mood when I an gered her seemed to indicate it to be a case of temporary aberration of mind, and consequently a curable one I looked at my watch In a quarter of an hour we should be at Basingstoke. I was in the very act of returning my watch t° my pocket when my companion, with a mocking laugh—the peculiarly metallic 1 m^ K ot k* o * l 11 * s quite impossible to do- Bcnbe—literally hurled herself upon me fr o m°hT'ch m 8f n rCe ' broke U,e watc h trom its chain and sent H spinning through the window t n another secmtd she was endeavoring to force herself a l so through the window Then commenced a terrible etrugglo. of which 1 even yet shudder to think My muscles were strained to their utmost of tension, the perspiration poured down my face, and my arms felt as if about to be wrenched from their sockets. And all this to restrain one of tho sex commonly called the “weaker” from self destruction. All this time the poor girl uttered no sound that could give warning u* tin* guard or our fellow passenger* of the ter rible struggle foi life or death that was giomg ou within a few yards o( them As f<tc my own voice the ext run rdi nary physical effort I was making to restrain the would be suicide entirely prevented mv making the slightest use of it But just as tny powers were falling me. and I felt that I could no longer prolong the struggle, the train beguu perceptibly to slacken speed “Thank heaven! Basingstoke at last.” What followed is easy to relate Of course, assistance was at hand and the unfortunate young lady was removed to a place of safety From letters which we found on her and some articles of jewelry, which we advertised, we speedily dis covered her friends Naturally l as a medical man. would not lose sight of her till I had discovered them The patient proved to be a member of a German family, naturalized in England, who was subject to periodical attacks of mental aberration, but had never actually been in an asylum During the attacks, which invariably came on without any warning, so that it was difficult to watch her. she was seized with a restless desire to wander over the country, and. it appeared, had merely selected the Southwestern line because it happened to be the nearest to her own home She had been so long without an attack that her mother and sisters had on the previous night ventured to go to an even ing party, leaving Lotta fast, asleep in bed at home During their absence she eluded the vigilance of the servants, got up and dressed herself, walked about for some tune and took a ticket for the early Ports mouth mail—at least that was what she imagined, and told us, on her recovery Her memory, however, was very imper feet, but the poor child must certainly have walked about the streets for some time prior to the departure of the ex press. It w T as natural that under the circum stances —l have already stated that 1 had had considerable experience in such cases —her friends should ask me to eudeavor a cure. I undertook it and entirely succeeded. And also I undertook and succeeded in something else. It is my wife who is looking over my shoulder as I write, and who says; “My dear, the maddest act of all my life was when” But here I stop.—Hartford Times. About Cuban Railway Travel. There are some odd regulations about Cuban railway travel Ticket offices are closed five minutes before departure of trains; and if one thus faps of securing a ticket, one-third additional to regular fare is exacted for tho first division over which your route may lay You are allowed to carry free only a hat box or a medium size valise, but if your train does not make schedule time, you can stop any w’hore along the route and get your entire fare refunded No “persons of color” are allowed in first cars, though game cocks, iu baskets, are; and if you attempted to ride upon the platform or to occupy more than one seat, you w’ould be immediately turned over to the goiardia civil, whose members ride on trains between stations to tiirt with fair senoritas. and to con stantly enforce the fact that Spain owns Cuba. As in most European countries, there are three grades of passenger coaches and all are modeled on the American plan The third grade cars have only solid wood seats; the second are very plain but the seats are of “cane;” the first are very pleasant and convenient, and in most cases prettily enough decorated, the woven cane seats taking the place of our plush cushions ou account of the differ ence in climate The conductor is uni formed as with us. and is the busiest man on earth for the amount of business he transacts He is at everybody every five minutes for re-examination of tickets, and a pompous guardia civil, a soldier of one of the three classes of military in the islaud, is forever at his heels glaring ini pudently into faces, demanding with maddening frequency your passport if you happen to be a foreigner, and espe cially if an American, whom the Spaniard loaths. and searching your person or even a lady’s reticule if the whim seizes him There is no chance for comfort or pleas ure under this regime You are arranged and righted and adjusted and watched and glared at and bullied a hundred times a day —Edgar L Wakemau in Kansas City Journal East & \Vestßailroad of Alabama.
