MRS.

YORKE FINDS A GENTLEMAN When Mrs.Yorke arrived at the hotel, Dr.Balsam was nowhere to be found.

She was just sending off a messenger to despatch a telegram to the nearest city for a surgeon, when she saw the Doctor coming up the hill toward the hotel at a rapid pace.
He tied his horse, and, with his saddle-pockets over his arm, came striding up the walk.

There was something reassuring in the quick, firm step with which he came toward her.

She had not given him credit for so much energy.
Mrs.Yorke led the way toward her rooms, giving a somewhat highly colored description of the accident, the Doctor following without a word, taking off his gloves as he walked.
