Tho sick man, however, dovolopcd a troublesome trou-blesome nppetlto, 111 as ho was, and ho protested against not being fed. Ho said the Institution, In fact, was starving him. Tho convalescent patient, pa-tient, all tho time, was receiving light food. This mado tho man In tho adjoining ad-joining cot nil tho moro Inslstont that ho bo fed. Tho physicians, however, paid no attention to his complaints. Tho patient waited for his opportunity, opportun-ity, which finally camo. Ono day n strango woltor camo around with tho meals, It oo Imp- pencd that When ho went Into tho ward tho convalescent patient was asleep. Tho other man was wtdo awnko nnd ho beckoned tho waiter and told him to lay tho food Intended for tho convalescent con-valescent patient alongsldo his cot.
