"I don't know who he is any more than what you can see there for yourself," replied the officer. "He's a dope fiend, and I guess a pretty tough case, though we've never had him up for anything. He's lived here ever since I've been on the beat, and that's three years or " "All right!" interrupted Kline crisply. "He's no good to us!
"You're a white man, Kline. But destroying that plate won't save me. The minute a single note printed from it shows up, they'll know back there in Washington that the plate was stolen, and " "No; you're safe enough there," the other interposed heavily. "Knowing what was up, you don't think I'd give the gang a chance to get them into circulation, do you? I got them all when I got the plate.
Kline would, no doubt, be very ready to take it off of your hands." "If the family were satisfied, I would cheerfully delegate the work to him," said Doctor Hillhouse. "He's a younger man, and his recent brilliant operations have brought him quite prominently before, the public."
"It's Larry the Bat, and he's doped to the eyes. There's the stuff on the floor we knocked off the chair." "Light the gas!" directed Kline curtly; and, being obeyed, stooped to the floor and picked up a hypodermic syringe and a small bottle.

He paused for a moment, and then said, with strong emphasis: "The hand, Doctor Hillhouse, that cuts down into her dear flesh must be steadied by healthy nerves, and not by wine or brandy. No, sir; I will not hear to it. I will not have Doctor Kline. In your hands, and yours alone, I trust my wife in this great extremity." "That is for you to decide," returned Dr. Hillhouse.
I am very sure that on the morning after one of the occasions to which I have referred Doctor Kline finds himself in no condition for the work of a delicate surgical operation until he has steadied his relaxed nerves with more than a single glass."

"That is something in which you have the advantage of younger men." Doctor Hillhouse made no reply to this, but sat like one in deep and, perplexed thought for a considerable time. "I must see Doctor Kline and go over the case with him more carefully," he remarked at length. "I shall then be able to see with more clearness what is best.
