TOM HALLS LUCK.

Tom Hall had got religion" There
was no doubt about it. The news was
public property in the pretentious lit.
de Nevada town, and as sensation II
was a decided success. Even had Tom
denied (which he did not--the daily
and mighty evidences he gave Of his
conversion were indisputable. He re-
signed his position as day shift behind
the bar of THE Golden Palace" seat
was no longer kept for him at Dono-
vans faro tables, and If he drank at
ell it must have been but little. More
over, when accused of going TO the
little white church on the hill, on a
certain Sunday, in company with the
young lady school teacher of the
town, he had turned amgrily upon his
interlocutor, and pertinently inquired
"if it was anybody's damn business
whether HE did or not?" 1t was no
point against the prevailing conten-
tion that Tom had not Immediately
dropped the vernacular of his envi-
ronment.
Now, Tom, if the truth were known.
had never considered himself d great
sinner, and it was doubtful if he was
filled with any penitence at all for his
past life. In his converted state he
had resolved to do and not to do GER
tain things, as to which Miss Dawson,
the teacher, had very decided opin-
ions. But secretly his private views
on morals were still rather broad and
liberal, and he saw no particular
harm in taking a drink at proper in
tervals, gambling when the deal was
fair, and otherwise partaking in
moderate way of the various enjoy
ments provided by the town in the
sage brush. In short, Tom was more
converted to Miss Dawson than he
was to the church. But although the
town wisely concluded that the step
taken was not altogether devoid Of
worMlmess, it took malicious de-
light in clothing him, fguratively, in
the garb of an anchorite.
The church on the hill, as was nat
ural, felt proud of it's new member,
but Miss Dawson felt prouder The
young lady would, indeed, have been
hypercritical had she felt any cha
grin ON being accompanied by the
young and handsome neophyte.
One Sunday the pastor announced
that 1T was very desirable that the
church be provided with new organ.
He proposed that the fun. for this
purpose be realized in a way novel to
that locality at least. The members
OF the congregation were individually
to pledge themselves to raise money
by the performance Of service, or
by the manufacture or sale Of some
thing inexpensive, and afterward the
different accounts Of the various ex-
periences were to be given, which in
itself promised considerable amuse-
ment.
Tom Hall went to his rooms and
gave the subject deep and profound
consideration. He was not long in |
deciding in which direction lay the
prospect Of success for his best en-
deavor.
The following night he astonished
the players at Donovans faro tables
by walking into the place and drop
ping into his old seat. He at once
bought $25 worth of red, white and
blue chips.
Well" came from the amazed DR..
Toots.

lookout, apparently to himself.
Tom was seemingly oblivious to
these and other remarks.
