A TICKLISH SITUATION. iDimo poft TQB new tom ourrn, BY D. W. MOORE. Ten jeara ago I piaotlced In Fuls, if snch coon patlon as mliie was at that time maj be csUed pracUolDg. Propettj speaking, I had no ptaclloe at all. Tbe few padenis I had lucceeded in treat- ing during the jear I Ured there belonged mostlj to the olass tbat asTerpajs; and bad I not pcsseiaed a certain knack at handling pea and bik, which placed me In a poalUon to earn mj support, tbe ei- mme smallneae and nncettalntj of Ibe receipts tbat the qiaal exerclae of mj profession afforded me wonM ptobablj hare long abice brought me face to face with the iradlUonil wolf. For a moderate Bum, I bad incceeded In biting two rooma bi an old timble down house. Tbei« was a good gronnd for this, tor half tbe rooma In the houae remained, for some reason or other, contlU' nallj vacant, and tbe landlord was glad to rent tbcm at anj price. Towards tbe end of tbe Snminer I was attacked with a serere UMees, from which 1 bad only Istelj begun to recorer, ind Just then, In tbe cool October days, I felt Its painful eOlBots ntj perceptlblj. One evening—I ahall never forget lt-1 sat bi mj aigs room, burled In glocmj tbonghls. Tbe past, the brtning enccess I bad met with nnUl then, and the edll darker onllook for the tutors, were rannlng Ibrongh mj bead. While I was thna engaged mj thoughts, sHange to aaj, dwelt longer tbau osnal on an oocntrenoe that alreadj dated back aevemi months, and which la Itself waa a small matter—a quarrel wltb a neigh- bor, wbtob, of conne, was nnpKaaant enough, but still not wortbj of conaldereaon; from which, bow- ever, I could not tree mj mind on that partlcniar evening, 1 was suddenlj startled out of mj melancbolj reverie bj a soft knock at the door. Ourious as to whom It could be, I wanlad to light a lamp qntohlj; bat while I wae looking tor tbe matches the knock waa repeated, vtolentlj this time, 10 tbat I made baste to open tbe door. "Who's tberet" I asked, seeing no one bi the darkness. "It's l," replied a voice. "Yon will be euiprtaed toBeeni«,nodonbt." lelartadbaok. "Monsieur Oerardel" I eiolabned, recognizing hto voice.
