CHAPTER XXIII.
"That man on the other side of the street looks like one of the belligerent doctors," said the Professor, as he and Toney stood on the pavement in front of the hotel.
"It is Doctor Bull, minus his spectacles, and with the addition of a very black eye," said Toney.
"His vision seems not to be very clear! There! he has stumbled over a dog, and is indignantly bestowing on the unlucky cur a couple of kicks," said the Professor.
"Bull is very near-sighted," said Toney. "He will get along badly without the aid of his spectacles."
"I wonder how he got out of jail?" said the Professor.
"Colonel Hazlewood bailed him out," said the landlord. "The colonel needs his services in attendance on his niece, Miss Carrington, who is still in a critical condition."
"Did the colonel also bail out the other physician?" asked the Professor.
"No, indeed!" said the landlord. "The colonel said he was afraid to let the other fellow out while the young lady was ill. The two doctors might get to fighting again, and their patient might die while they were settling their difficulties."
