youngest boy Of the family, who had
listened gravely to all the talk broke in.

When Silas Chaplin came out OF his
front gate early oGe spring morning. he
saw his friend Homer Marlitt also turn
ing into the street. The two were past
fifty, dad been friends from boyhood,
and for over thirty years had walked
the street OF the little town to business
in this way. Chaplin was of medium
height with iron gray hair, sharp black
eyes and fierce Napoleons. Marlitt was
Of large frame with bald head and clear
blue eyes.
"Mornin', Homer"
"Mornin', ST."
II heard a rumor last night, Homer,
that you were going to run agin me this
election"
Yes, 81. you heard correct. Some Of
the boys said you'd been mayor Of this
town fifteen years and i: was time to
have change. l didn't want it, but
they kept talking 60 much OF my being
the only man who could down you, and
that it was duty to the town, and the
like that 1 gave in to get rid Of EN-"
"Well. I'm glad it's you. I'm about
tired of the place and was goin' to re-
sign. I'll keep in the race just to please
my friends, but you'll win sure. And
Ill be glad of it,"
"But 81. 1 know won't win. Ill just
bet you new hat l won't"
well, I'll just bet you hat you do"
replied Chaplin.
And the two old men shook hands on
the wager and parted.
Every morning as they walked down.
the two chaffed each other good natured-
ly about the coming election and their
bets became known through all the
town. As the election approached it
became evident that the Marlitt opposi-
ton to Mayor Chaplin was assuming
threatening propnrti, ns-so much 90
that Chaplin was as happy as a boy.
while Marlitt became greatly agitated
for fear he would really receive the Office
which his friend had held 80 long.
The night Of election, Chaplin went
home in a tranquil mind and went to
bed. But Marlitt was 40 afraid that he
would be elected that he remained at the
polls until all the ballots had been count
ed. 1t did not take long in the little
town to reach the result. At ten o'clock
it vas determined that Silas Chaplin had
been reelected by a majority of eight
votes.
Chaplin had just retired when he was
suddenly aroused by some one running
up the walk and ringing the
bell violently. He raised an upper win
dow and asked who was below.

pavement was still bare enough for the
rattle Of hurr, ing carriages to be heard
distinctly. The engine whistles down in
the yards. screamed shrilly in the frozen
air. Shutters and loose boards and the
beer signs or the door potts ratified fitful
ly in the Wild wind Of the night.
Within the little saloon, a few men
with unshaven faces and rough over
coats, sat about the stove in which the
fire roared up the long rusty pipe 60
furiously that the metal was fiery red
about and below the damper. The
tables and the wine rooms ut the side
were all deserted. The keeper mopped
off his bar and counted the cash sales.
1t was about eleven O'Clock then.
The door opened end a woman entered.
She was not young, nor was she old.
She wore an old, blue wool skirt and
faded pink silk waist. A pair Of dirty
dance slippers we're on her feet, and as
she walked across the room, the skirt
Tapping back and forth, REVEALED her
bare ankles. Her face was deeply rouged.
and her hair done high, was covered
by ragged scarf. Her eyes were un-
naturally brilliant and constantly
wandering in every direction.
"Hello, Mani" said one Of the men.
GOOD evening. gentlemen-yes. Milt,
bring me small drop over here in the
corner-whiskey. No, Bill, drink alone
tonight"
The bar keeper served her and came
back to his accounts. The men about
the stove melted away. Others came in
for drink and went out again. The
bar keeper was busy and quite forgot
the woman in the corner.
At midnight the storm had increased
to q gale. The snow covered the street
and was piling in great drifts at the cor.
ner. The electric lights blinked hazily
and were caught ard swung about by
the wind. The cold was so intense that
the last few men who came into the
saloon found their faces frozen in little
white spots, and their fingers and ear
tips icy cold, even within the heaviest
covering.
The bar keeper finished bis counting
and locked the money in the little iron
safe under the bar. Ten he began clos
ing up his place for the night. He bank
ed the fire and drew down the shades.
Then he locked the rear door and started
to turn out the lights. As he turned to
one Of the side lights the figure of the
woman caught his eye. He went over
and found her asleep. Her limbs we're
stretched out under the table and her
head rested upon her folded arms. He
touched her roughly on the shoulder.
"Come-get out of this!''
She stared and looked up at him be-
wildered. Something in her attitude
touched the man
"Come, Man, he said more kindly, "itis

lowed him still half dazed to the door.
"What'd you say" che asked stupidly.

repeated.

ly. and then with terrible laugh "oh.

A rriumph Ct Modern surgerr

The reputation of the we'll lknowp spe-
cislists, Drs. Sadler and Sigmann, s0i
Penn Ave, Pittsburg, Pa, is too well es-
tablished to need much comment The
thousands of deaf and blind people who
have been restored to hearing and sight
by these most eminent surgeons. are by
far the bet recommendation of their
merits
To the long list of marvellous operations
which have been performed in their
offices, new one is added through the
case of Mr.. Massey, lO7 Third Street, s. s..
Pittsburg Pa. His right eye-b bali was
pierced by piece of Steel in February
last. The wound healed after protract-
ed and painful period of recovery, but the
vision was totally gone, which was partial
ly due TO cataract which developed in
the injured eye; partially also to infiam-
nation of the tender inside structures
covering the pupil with an impenetrable
membrane.
DIR. Sigmann, to whom Mr.. Massey
entrusted his case, performed so-called
Iridectomy tmaking an artificial pupil,
removed the cataract, aud now, eight
weeks after the operation, Mr.. Massey is
a happy man. He sees with glasses
even small objects at long distance and
can read coarse print. Indeed, a triumph
of modern surgery.
