THE DOCTOK'S FOETTJHE.
On his door there was a fine polished plate, inscribed.
MK. J-^MES IVOODriELD,
Surgeon. When he first came to this small coun¬ try toivn—that is to soy, when he first settled there as a professional man—he had been in the habit of passing in and out of that door often, and of looking with some pride nt the brass; for he was a young man, only just beginning life^ and it was very possible that the shining plate pointed to a future in the distance radiant with as bright a lustre as its own. Somehow, unfortunately, that future still continued to shine in the distance, and the days and weeks and months that be¬ gan to drag rather heavily over the young surgeon seemed to bring it no nearer to him. It was very odd. He had been told on all sides a promising opening there was in HoUowleigh for a surgeon; he had congratulated himself that tho absence of M. D. after his name was of no conse- quence—a mere sound, often unsought bythe grpatostmen. And, besides, there wim already a physician of old standing in HoUowleigh.
But the most provoking part of the whole afTair was that James Woodfield had scarcply had time to settle in his new house beforo this Dr. Heath, seeming sud¬ denly to discover that his then residence did not suit him, had actually tlxed opon tbe large and handsome house exac.ly opposite to tbat shining new brass plate. It was no use for James lo shake his fist at the doctor's carriage from behind the window curtains; of no use for him to wish there had been a school opposite, an asylum, anything, in fact, but that commodious residence with its lawn stretching down to the river on the op¬ posite side, which had proved so attrac¬ tive to tbe ph3'sician.
"I clioose this end of the town on pur¬ pose," muttered James, grinning at the obnoxious wngons which brought the doctor's furniture, "becauso he lived nt theothcr, and now he has actually follow¬ ed mehere. "Well,! suppose there's room enough for both; at any rate, it cannot be worse with me than it has been, for, ex¬ cept a poverty-stricken old woman or two, no patient has troubled me."
And then he went to sit at tho table of his little study and be miserable, which was of no use either. But the fact was, his eyes, glancing from time to time through the window, caught sight of the corner of some luxuriant couch or chair peeping from under its oover; of massive picture frames and costly mirrors. And he could not help reverting to certain golden visions of his own, whose bright¬ ness had faded by this time, and left them before him the pale ghosts of what they onoe were. Then, that carriage of the doctor's was the very thing he had indul¬ ged himself in picturing as fit for—some¬ body. And as the thought recurred to him, he sighed bitterly , for the time when that somebody might bo the rolling ge¬ nius of his house—even this little den— seemed so far off as to be almost mythi¬ cal.
But he did not tell her bo. He held a certain philosopliy, that cheerful letters were better than sad and grumbling ones; and, even with those obnoxious wagons beforo the window, he, having no pre¬ scriptions to write, and nothing particu lar to do, had actually drawn pena and paper toward him for.the purpose ot wri¬ ting to her.
¦Well, he couldn't help it. Nothing would come this time but the beginning— ¦'My own dear little Margaret"—such „ long beginning, tbat it lost, in fact, all the shapeliness common to beginnings.— But, for all that, ne must feel severally guilty concerning these two adjectives, even though our Margaret may have ex¬ ceeded the average height of women.
Haviug written so far, however, Mr. Woodfield's ink dried in his pen. He could not keep hiaeyes from the window; and the luxurioaaoarriage had just driven up with a lady in it—^two ladies 5 the doo-
tor's wife and daughter, he supposed, Try his utmost he could not help giving way to foreboding too dismal for Marga¬ ret's eye to read; he could not think of any possible good accruing to him from the doctor's invasion—as he called it— but only harm.
If Dr. Heath had stayed were he was, a few of the people al this end of the .town might have had recourse to the new sur¬ geon : but now, of course, all the neigh¬ borhood, as well as his old patients, would run after the great physician, who was rich and famous, and did not care about their patronage.
"The way of the world," muttered James, afler the fashion of disappointed young philosophers—" the way of the world!"
And then he saw Mr. Percival Heath the doctor's only son, ride up to tho door on a horse, which drew him, in spite of himself to the window, and made his eyes glisten.
" A splendid animal!" soliloquized the surgeon, who kept no horse—pretty well, as he thought, bitterly, if he could keep himself. " That's the sort of thing I should like now; make perfect, aclion first rate, and afine-looking fellow enough on him, too. I wonder if Mr. Percival goes in for the profession. Perhaps he'll be good enough to take the house next to mine."
Autl Jamea, returning to his writing materials, put them away hastily.
In general Margaret got her letter about once a week, as regular as tho counlry paper came out, and he got his answer as punctually, but she must wait another post this" time. Today he could not write lo her, and it was with a cer¬ tain grimness of sarcasm that he thought she would put it down to his being so busily engaged with his patients that ho had no time to write. No time ! That was the greatest evil. He had too much timo, and did not know what to do wilh it.
Ho had established a slight acquain¬ tance with many of the town people, and, among others, with Mr. Percival Ueath, whom he liked, but with whom he could not, perhaps, under the circumstances, have much in common, since a struggling man has little sympathy to spare for a favorite of fortune. And hewas wont to think that on thatyoung fellow everything smiled, insomuch that it was a marvel to find him so littlo spoiled and so full of life aud energy. Mr. Woodfield wonder¬ ed too, sometimes, as he looked at the large house opposite, if its inmates ever thought of him in his struggles and un¬ fulfilled hopes. Why should they ? He was nothing to them. Pr. Heath had a perfect right to take the house if he chose. Possibly, indeed, if ho had remained at the other end of the town, it would have mado but little difference to James. Everybody would have gone to him just the same ; for why should people consult a young, untried surgeon in preference lo a well- known physician, who, moreover, on cer¬ tain days, gave consultation gratis fo tbose who could not aiTord his fees?
Dr. Heath had done this for years ; and the act of a young surgeon's rash appear¬ ance in the town was no reason for the discontinuance of a charity. He began to think it was a mistake to come to HoUow¬ leigh ; nevertheless, the thing was done, and he must make the best of it.
It was more than a j'ear, it was nearly two yeara, since the polish of that plate had roused so'complacent an expression on James "Woodfield's face; and he was still, to use a significant phrase, struggling to kepp his head above water. His fvit-nds, loo, if he had possessed any near enough to examine his personal appear¬ ance, might have observed that there was a slight tendency about the corners'of his mouth to curve downwards, and altogeth¬ er a want of elasticity about the man very difl'erent from his buoyant air of two years ago. Such friends as ho had, how¬ ever, were either unobservant or not suffi¬ ciently inlerested in him to trouble them¬ selves about his looks, and he went on his way drearily, with suoh hopo .18 he could summon up to help him. He had gone so faras to confess that tho whole affair was a decided failure. He was at times mi.'serably depressed and anxious, almost ready lo give up allogether; but, if he did that, what was to become of him ? A portion of his small capital was gone al¬ ready ; W.IS he to throw the other after it ? He might try and try, and yet have no more chance than that unlucky fly in tho window had of evenlually escaping the bloated spider on the watch for him.
And, of course, as he looked at the fly and the web, his eyes travelled, as they always did, with a persistency which as¬ tonished himself, to tbat house opposite ; and he saw the carriage, which wa's the ideal ol his visions in that department, drive up and deposit the ladies of Dr. Hoalh's Family; three ladies this time, aud the third, who wasa visitor, report had decided to be Mr. Percival's financee. Then he saw Mr. Percival himself ride up .as usual, and noticed that his one hand was bound up in a handkerchief.— lie wondered idly what lhat was for, and then, as he watched the young man assisting the ladies from the carriage, and marked how he lingered beside that third one, who did not yet belong to the family, he was conscious of a feeling as nearly akin to envy that he took himself to task at once for it.
" You are developing into a surly brute, James Woodfield," he|said ; a selfish cynic, who woUld snarl at another's happi- ness because your own is—ah, well,! where is it, and when will the good time come ?" After all, though Dr. Heath's removal had done him no good, yet it had fur¬ nished him considerable occupation, spec¬ ulation, and some amusement. As it grew darker that night he took his usual position, with his elbows on the window sash, to watch the^arrival of the Doctor's guests, for there was a dinner party at the opposite house, and he saw among the arrivals magnates whoso patronage would have made the heart of the young sur¬ geon glad, while in a professional point of view, Dr. Heath cared very little, if at all, for tbem.
But tho doctor's reception rooms faced the lawn, so that, after the arrivals were over, and he bad counted soma dozen of ladies in thegossamer attire which needs to be made fire proof, and as many gen¬ tleman looking mournful in funeral suits, there was nolhing for him to do but to watch the flickering lamp outside or furn to the interior of his little room. He chose the latter alternative, and as he turnod he became aware of Master Cadger caressing the door-handle and seemingly waiting hia pleasure.
" What do you want, you rascal ? Why don't you—"
" Knock, sir ?" interposed Master Cad¬ ger briskly. "Did, sir, if yoti pleaae; couldn't make you hear. It's only a party, as ha has been telling me he'a go¬ ing away." I By a peculiar jerk of his thumb Maater Cudger appeared to intimate that "he"
was Dr. Heath.   At least so James under¬ stood it.
;; Dr. Heath 1   Going away t"
" Yes, sir. Leastways he's going to for¬ eign parts, and oan't come baok not in a day exactly, you know."
" Well," said Mr. Woodfield, collecting himself, "whal has that to do with me?" " Nothing, sir. It's only as the party's always doctoring, and was anxious in oase ahe might be took sudden, and ho doctor to be had. 1 told her yon wonld be at home, unless, to be sure, some of the oountry patients sent for you."
" That will do," said James. " You can go."
It is not to be denied that Mr. Wood- field's heart did beat with a spectral hope. If the' doctor was going abroad might there not be a chance for him ? It seemed only reasonable to suppose there would, since, if the people were ill, a new doctor must be better than nono.
The fates were surely in league against James Woodfield. No sooner was his hope conceived lhan a rude hand dashed it to the groond. Dr. Heath would leave a deputy behind him.
Mr. Percival Heath was walking down the HoUowleigh road toward the town. He walked slowly, for he had an unusual sense of discomfort,which he could neither shake off nor analyze. It weighed upon him witb a very heavy oppression; it was like nolhing lhat he could think of so much as terror—vague, unreasoning, but strong terror, springing from no cause that he could discover, and pointing lo no re¬ sult. He could not make it out. Hehad thought to shake it off in the open air, but it seemed to get worse instead of bet¬ ter, so he turned back toward home. Was he going to be ill ? He had been blessed hitherto with such vigorous health that he knew nothing about illness.
He raised the hand which had been bound up, and on which there appeared a slight scar, to his forehead confusedly. As he did so he reached a point in the road where tho river, running parallel ivith it, became suddenly visible by tbe lowering of the roadside bank.
Mr. Percival started back with a pang of desperate misery. He could not besr the sight of that water; ho was afraid of it. .Behind him came two men with some dogs, and he was afraid of them also; afraid of the men, but more so of the dogs; and more than all he dreaded that gurgling waler.    He waa horribly afraid ofit.
He stood still and put bis hand up again to his forehead, and his eye caught the lit¬ tle scar. A cold perspiration broke over him, and a single ejaculation passed his lips— "Good God 1"
It was no irreverent outburst lightly spoken. It was—no one, however, could possibly tell all lhat those two horror- stricken words were meant to express, for a ghastly suspicion had broken upon Mr. Percival's mind—a suspicion that a fate more horrible than anything he could con¬ ceive huiig over him.
That little soar had been left by the bile of a dog. It was a fortnight now since, in pity to a screaming child hehad attempted to drive a dog from his path, and the dog had snapped at him and passed on. He remembered now that the dog had been killed, and that some idle rumor about his being mad had floated for a day or two. Such rumors, however, being common, of course he had never onoe thought of it a second time, never even experienced a sensation of uneasiness unlil now. But now—   •
Ho was a strong-willed energetic man. To get home quielly, if possible, to keep down this horrible dread, as though his heel were upon it, and walk like olher men, and that was what he set himself to do. Already the air around him was in¬ stinct with mad, lurid eyes and slavering jaws, and he scarcely knew as he walked up the street, whether it was the houses that were bearing down heavily upon him or his own fancies that made tbem seem to do so. He got into the house and called his servant. He spoke to the man as calm¬ ly as he could, and gavo him a message. It was fruitless. Dr. Heath's deputy had gone out; time of relurn uncertain.
"William," said Mr. Percival, "I'm afraid the dog that bit mo was mad. Go across and. fetch Woodfield. Tell him what I say, nnd not a word to any one else. Be quick."
Mr. J.ames Woodfield was in the litlle room called by courtesy his study. He had been there pretty nearly all day, not having spirits, perhaps, to get out. By a singular coincidence the subject he had been studying, and whioh had roused con¬ siderable interest in his mind, was a cure that bad been performed in India of a case of hydrophobia. He had made him¬ self pretiy well master of the details, .ind it was a certain psychological featuie which occupied him when, after the cus¬ tomary knock, Master Cudger ushered in Dr. Heath's servant.
" Beg pardon, sir. Party wouldu't wait; must see you directly."
The rest of Masier Cudger's speech, which was irrelevant, was spoken in the surgery, while Mr. Percival's case already lay beforo the doctor in his study.
Mr. Woodfield was sensible of a strange thrill Ihrough all his nerves ashe listened, and a single phrase out ot that pamphlet which he had been reading kept repeat¬ ing itself like an echo in his brain.
Without a word he followed the man across the street into the hall, where he had seen so many gossamer-robed ladies and black-coated gentlemen, up the wide semi-circular staircase, which might al¬ most bave swallowed up his whole house, and into young Heath's room.
Mr. Percival sat on the bed in his shirt sleeves, and he was trembling all over, and shrank back with an expression of terror aa the doctor entered. Mr. Wood- field turned and looked full into the ser¬ vant's face.
"You'll do," he said, "Como in and sit down there, out of sight, till I want you."
Then he turned the key softly in the door and went forward. He seemed to have risen with the occasion out of his de¬ spondency into a man of iron nerves and indisputable authority.
" Woodfield," said Mr. Percival, look¬ ing at him with eyes 'seared and blood¬ shot, "you Bee I know you; keep ofif for your own sake. Let no one come near me."
James never once took his eyea off the patient's faca while ho felt his pulse, and Mr. Percival returned the gaze like one fascinated.
" Xiisten to me," said James, still with hia hand on the young man's wrist, and still looking at him wilh the same steady eye. " There ia no proof that the dog was mad. You are strong and healthy. You have never been a drinker or tampered in any way with your constitution ?" "No."
" Theu there is hope for you.   The vi¬ rus will have less chance, and my treat¬ ment more.   Are you capable of follow¬ ing what I say ?" " Yes."
" Then listen.   I know that you are
energetic and strong-minded.   Exert your
will.   Exert it first to believe that all you
think you see or feel is, in fact, delusion;
I exert it, above all, to keep ea quiet as
ptwsible. The will may be overrated a« well as nodertated; but it is an iiiBtra< ment of immense pow^cr. Ifyou feel th^f you are giving way to terror, try and fix your eyes on mine. Come, you are calm already.   I am going to bleed you." -
" Doctor," said the young man, " you J:7iow' the dog was mad. -Promise me one thing, and I will have perfect failh in you Swear to kill if you cannot cura."
James responded:   "The means I am about to use are certain death or certain cure." "Did they ever cute ?" " Yes."
"Sir," said the aervant, horror-strick¬ en, " you have bled him to death I"
" No," replied James, with a whitening ahout the lips, "only to death's door."
In fact, the young man lay motionless as a corpse, and colorless; and only the faintest dimness was visible on the glass which the man held to hia lips.- " Will he ever get over it, sir ?" " I hope so."
" Oughtn't he to be bound ?" " No," said James quiokly.    " I will be here when he comes to himaelf."
Mr. Woodfield went home, but not for long. He stayed but lo take such refresh¬ ment as was absolutely necessary, and to go over once again the details of the case which, by what ho conceived lo be so strange a chance, he had been studying when the servant fetched bim. Then he weut back.
It was night, and the gas under which he had walched thosa ball room guests so often shone upon him as he ascended the stairs. In the lobby he was startled by the rustling o( a light dress; by the aud¬ den appearance beside him of a radiant little creature whom he had seen before, but only at a distance; and by two small white hands grasping his arm with im¬ ploring restraint.
It was that third one—the poor litlle girl whowashavebeen Mr. Percival's wife and she was in her evening dress. Pro¬ bably she had just heard the terrible na¬ ture ofhis illness, for in spite of all cau¬ tion, it had oozed out, and, as James looked at tho wild, dumb agony in the eyes that sought his face to read if there were any comfort there, he experienced once again that strange thrill—that fense of exaltation which had roused him be-' fore into the exercise of an unsuspected power.
" Doctor, doctor"—and the girl's voice sunk into a gasping whisper—" is it true ? Is it, is it?"
Mr, Woodfield took one of the poor lit¬ tle hands in his own. He felt so aged and grave in this sudden crisis which had drawn forth all his strength ; he was so sorry for her, thinking, perhaps for a mo¬ ment, of his own Margaret under such cir¬ cumstances, lhat hedid not dream of be¬ ing ceremonious.
"My dear young lady," said James, " I have heard of one recovery from such a seizure, and only one. The means that effected that recovery I am using."
'• You would not deceivs us 1 They have telegtaphed for Dr. Heath, but they were uncertain of his address, and it might never reach.   Sir, you must save him."
The little hand was clinging to his still, and absolutely wringing it in the intoler¬ able misery of this sudden blow She had been so happy yesterday.
"It is in higher hands than mine," aaid James gravely. ¦ "Butba comforted. I tell JOU the truth, I have hope." " Thank you, doctor.   God bless you
and help you to save him !    I will "
But he heard no more, for her voioe had broken into sobs, and she had turned away from him hurriedly."
James went on into the sick room whieh, was still quiet aa he left it. At another time the possibility of the tele¬ gram reaching Dr. HeatlT and bringing him home to interfere with the case migbt have been disheartening, but he had now no space to think about it. He was like one in a trance; the strangestof his owing hia first serious caae to Dr. Heath's aon never even struck him then. He was so resolute as to keep his nerve, his whole strength of mind and body, strung up to that extreme pilch of exallalion and full belief in his own power, on which' he be¬ lieved that power in a great meaaure lo depend. Wheu tho patient awoke to consciousness the doctor's eye must meet his; must communicate by a power which might or might not be mesmeric—James did not stop lo argue that; lo him some of his own calmness and concentration of purpose must keep him, if possible by lhat mesmeric sympathy, from those sea red, wandering glances inlo the distant corners where shapes of horror lurked.
And again the bleeding was repeated, to the manifest terror and distrust of the servant, who 'thought Mr. Woodfield cer. tainly meant to kill his master.
But James persevered. His whole heart was in the case; his whole will set upon saving the patient; Night and day he was with him ; his own air and manner were ao totally changed that even in the doctor's servanla hall there had arisen a certain awed respect for tho poor surgeon once a fair but for witticisms. It waa not to be expeoted that tho long strain left no impress upon James Woodfield, but if it had been doubly bard he would have undergone it gladly for the great reward ofthe result.
When Dr. Heath came home in horri¬ ble agony of mind, having recaived tard¬ ily, and by a mere chance, one ot those letters which were aent after him, at first he looked upon the attenuated figure of his son—eyes which recognized him, with no wild light of madness in them, lips lhat spoke to him calmly and hopefully —as upon one restored from the dead.
And at once he hurried across the street to the little house opposite, from a wiu¬ dow of which James saw him coming, and hastened to receive him.
The outpouring of Dr. Heath's gladness is of little consequence. It was rumored afterwards that he had offered to take Mr. Woodfield into partnership, whioh offer, however, James did not accept, and this reticence probably added no little to lue furore which began from this date for the young aurgeon. This wonderful cure flew about in all directions; it was on everybody's lips. Patients began to flow in a marvellous tide towards the shining brass plate, to tho delight of Master Cad. ger's heart and the increase of his bodily exercise.
"Your son has recovered," said James Woodfield, "butyou know, Dr. Heath that what I did was a fearful thing to do ; that in nine caaes out of teh, it would be fatal, and that if his constitution had not been of iron, and his health perfect, I must have killed him."
" You have saved my aon," responded thedoctor, " and it will make your for¬ tune.  I hope it will."
Dr. Heath waa right. Twelve months after that the brass plate waa removcd- from the little corner house. It shone upon the shrubbery gate leading to Dr. Heath's old residence at the opposite end of the town.
Ihere was a bay horse curvetting in. frontof Uiat gate, and upon him sat Mr. Percival Heath, lookiog aa handsome as
ever, and he was talking and laughing with the young surgeon.
" Come in, Heath," said James with a certain gravity, pulling abell and pointing out Mr. Heath's horse to a groom who answered the summons. " I have a favor to ask of you," he add«d, when they reached the house.
" Glad tp hear it. You are so precious independent that I never have a chance to prove my friendship. " Well, old fel¬ low, what is it?"
" I am going to take a very important step." "Not to retire just yet?" "No; now be serious." " Nor to tnke a partner ?" " No.   I mean yes," added James.— " I am going to take a partner, and I want you to be my beat raan upon the occasion.   Now do you understand."
" I understand. But suppose I were going to play principal in just such anolher affair?"
" I know," said James, suddenly aeeing before him a bright little figure, with a face of misery and two whito handa clasped on his sleeve. " I wish you all happiness, Percy. But, knowing this, I have arranged that my affair, as you call it, shall take place first. I wish yoti to do me this favor very much. You havo been the agent of my better fortune, and it will be a good omen to have you at my wedding." " So be it."
" And now," said James," come and look at my new carriage. It isn't exactly the thing I onoe set my mind upon for my wife; but one must bo moderate at first, you know. This will do fo begin with, eh ? Only for you I should never have had one at all."

Carbon exists mora abundantly in charcoal than any fusable aubatance, and the smoke that goes up from a charcoal forge is car¬ bon in a fluid alate. Now, if you can manage to confine that amoke, and put a piece of iron into it forseveral days, and heat the iron at the same time, it will be¬ come steel. Heating tbe iron opens its porea, eo that the amoke or carbon can enter it.
The furnace for this purpose is a conical building of brick, in the middle of which are two troughs of brick or stone, which hold about four tons of bar iron. At the bottom is a large grate for the fire. A layer of charcoal is put at the bottom of the trough.0, then a layer of bar iron, and so on, alternately, unlil three troughs are full. They nre then covered over with clay, to keep out the air, which, if admit¬ ted, would prevent the cementation.— Fire is then communicated to the wood and coal with which the furnace is fllled, and continued until the conversion of iron into steel is completed, which generally happens in ahout eight or ten days. This is known by the blisters on the bars, which theworkmen occasionally draw out in order to determine. When the conversion is completed the fire is then let go out, and the bars remain in the furnace about eight days more to cool.
Tho bars of steel aro then taken out, anil either sold as blistered steel or drawn to a convenient size, when it is called tilted steel. German steel is made out of this blistered Bteel, by breaking the bars into short pieces and welding lhem to¬ gether, drawing them down to a proper size for use.
Y'oung Ameuica.—This raro specimen of composition was read in one of the schoola of Louisville by a sentimental lit¬ tle fellow. The theme of this profound essayist was " Trees:"
"There are a good many kinds of trees. Trees are very useful for wood; Some wood is good for ax handles. Switches grows on trees. Some trees bears pears, aome peaches, and some plums. Some people likes peaches, some likes plums, and some likes pears, iui as for me, ijivc mc Uberty or give me death," Oh, may these lines be intuitive.

" What are wages hero ?" asked a labor¬ er of a boy   "I don't know, sir."   "What does your father get on Saturday night? " Get 1" said the boy; "why, he gets tight as a brick!"
A profligate young nobleman, being in company with some sober people, desired leave to toast the devil. "Oh, certainly," aaid a gentleman, "we can have no objec¬ tion lo toast any ofyour lordship's friends. Hans, who is judge of morals as ot cur¬ rency, says, that being tender to another man's wife is not in any way a legal ten¬ der.
A lady, complaining that her husband was dead to fashionablo amusements, he replied, "But then, my dear, you make me alive to the expense."
A grave friend of ours tells us that he and his wife always go to bed quarreling." "And yet," said he," "with all our diifer- ences, we n&verfall out."
Some men are kind because they are dull, as coramon horses are easily broken to harness. Some are orderly because they are timid, like cattle driven by aboy witb a wand. And some are social be¬ cause they are greedy, like barn-yard fowls that mind each other'a clucking.
Talent is a very common family trait, genius belongs rather to individuals ; just as you find one giant or one dwarf in a family, but rarely a wbole breed of either. It is asserted tbat in Mayence, where the annual consumption of wino is three hundred and sixty bottlea per adult, " gout, delirium tremens and liver com¬ plaints are quite unknown." We are not told what kind it is that is drank in Mayence.
It is not men of might lhat wo want, but men who use their mighl—men who work with zeal and energy at whatever they set themselves to do. It is not the strong •¦Samsons" and the big "Goliaths" that do the most good; but lads, like David. Eoamest, active, and strong of purpose j doing one thing at a time, but doing that thing well.
