When I got home last night. said
Squills. the old lady was up waiting
for me-. | knew there was something
in soak. There always is when she
sits propped up in bed reading, and l
knew it,
l wasn't feeling pretty good. said
Squills, for l had been whitewashed in
the convention, sold cut body, boots
and bresches, and felt like a board
yard he-cat with his back hair curled
the wrong side up.
'.Have you got the nomination,
Squills, dear ="
I knew she had seen the evening pa
per, butt I said "No, love-" as mildly
as if conventions and all such snares
were beneath my notice.
"Not got the nomination, Mr..
Squills?"
"No Mrs. Squills, not that the court
is aware of at this present writing.
Certainly not"
"Then what do you expect to get
for all the whiekey you've been pouring
down those fellows throsts ?"
"What fellows throats 2"
"Your friends who have been tramp

dren's money. and running you into
all kinds Of disreputable places to hunt
up votes, and sneaking you Of into the
country to barbecues and other infa-
nous resorts, paying for buggies. and
making ridiculous remarks which l
know yeul paid the reporters TO work
up into q speech. A nice thing you
have done for yourself and me and the
poor children, and then. after all, not
to get anything for your pains. I'm
ashamed Of you, Mr.. Squills; l would
blush for you, bot I can't, and whats
more. ] won't. Don't tell me, Squills, |
that you don't want me to blush for
you, and you sitting there just as mad
as hat full of hornets. After you
telling me, too, and the dear child, that
she should have new silk when you
got the nomination. A nice nomina-
tion you've got, and those fellows who

what fool for believing them. That's
what hurts me in the tsnderest point,

I put out the light. tumbled into bed
and prepared to 60 to sleep. but Mrs.
squills still kept at it with forty-Squills
power.
After time exhausted nature gave
lway and she was silent
Then l felt singular iggling Of the

"Mrs. Squills, is that you? What

Il you want to laugh, laugh, but don't
