CHAPTER .
r. Mary Bunn was soon an establish-
ed. member of the Harebell household.
A large room,. looking to the side of the
honse that faced the lields, wee appropri-
ated to her use, and here were presently
eollected her professional and iudividual
properties. Among these he medieine
oas.e was most conepieueus and highest
prized. She consulted Mr. Harebell re-
specting the purchase of a horse.! Right-
ly iconjecturing that her rides woeld not
yet require a powerful animal, he cared
he the use of the old white steed that
had fetched her froin the station. A
second-hand gig and set of harness were
found to, suit the (lector's elender purse,
and the equipmeut was doinplete.
Mies Bunn had only to sit :down and 'a-
wait the summonses of her patierits.
This locality was called Rudley Cor-
ners; and the country relied about was

appearance prevailed largely among the
.,:gentler sex: it was mixed; in most in-
stances, with conteinptsof her pretensions
and ability.
" "What sort of a creature Oen this be,
who his come to R.udleY Pornets, and set
heiself up as a medical man?" exclaimed
Miss Keturah Benedict one evening to
her brother; a tall, iron -gray man with
earnest eyes, who sat reading at the
other aisle of the table. That is, his hair
NTI8 beginning to be iron -gray.
"1 don't know," he answered, "1
hate never seen her." And, as a little
smilecrept over his face, one saw what
a good and pleasant and comely face it
-was. 4

decent !"
• " Not quite so fast, Keturah. • I have

the needful nerve and skill for a doctor,
let her be one." .
r "If she does. Why, - of course you
know she cannot. A woman is a woman.
But, look there, John; it is a novelty.
' People run after novelties and they will
run after her—and she'll take your prac-
tice from you." •
1; He smiled again. "She is quite 'vvel-
ceme to take a slice out of it at Rudley
tiorners."
"Oh! Had you not better recommend
her to your patients? Perhaps you mean
to do it !"
"Not quite. Aly feeling about her is

With emphasis. " She has no sort of

Was anxious to see the netViumate ; and
--the imprestion she mede on.them varied.
Some pronounced Pr. Mary Bunn a mere
nobody; there was nothing showy about,
her, nothing striking. Othert found. her
a quiet, pretty sort of wornan, rather
ledylike.
But all this curiosity and Calling did
net diminish Dr, Mary Bunn'S stock of
medicines norenlerge her income. Ten
days, a fortnight, three weeks passed,
and there came nt demand for her pro-
fessional attendence. Meanwhile , her
expenses for board, and such -like, were
rimming on. One stormv. evening the
Lector went to rest in a desponding frame
cf mind. At thie rate her 'fends would
it on be exhausted—and what then?
Pondering this question, she fell asleep.
A few hours later she awoke with a
start ; , was that eome one 'knocking at
the back of the house? She sat up in
bed, andlistened.1 Steps came along the
hall and up the stairs, anda very decid-
ed tap Rounded on the door of her own
room. 1
" Dr. Bunn is Wanted," called out Mr,
flarelaell, who had been aroused by the
seremons and got up to antwer it.
" Yes," she answered eagerly,,, "1 am
beginning to drets myself,thank you.
Who is it wants me ?' , •
"Squire Morrison, over at Barnes,"
Called back.Mt. Harebell from beyond
the door. "He it taken with an awful
distress in his beck and stomach, the
messenger says, ;and they want you to
come right away. But it is a tremendous
night, Miss Bunn; not fit for you to
veuture out in. Had I not better tell
the young man to ride on to Malden for
Dr. Benedict?" I
"O -h, no; no; don't think of it," she
eried with alacrity. "P11 be dodrn di-
rectly, Mr. Harebell. If ----some: one

Harebell. He did not wake up his man.
By the time the steed was brought to the
door, Dr. Bunn ''as ready in her water-

"it is raining pitchforks—and such a

brella will be useless. • I really think you

"Never mind," said the doctor cheer -
felly. "1 can put up the hood of toy

Miss Bunn alighted and undid the,
gate, after some shaking and noise and
trouble. At that moment a deep, poie
tentous sound rose on the air; there was
a rush along the walk, and she scrambled
us mastiff,rn
back into her vehicle just cle time to
escape the onset of an enor
which leaped and harked 'bout as if
wishing to tear everything to pieces.
