lions to Use Economy.
Cresson's last words as he parted from his
wife at the steamer were instructions that she
should cable him at once as soon as she had
landed. He didn't explain the cable system
to her. aud as she is one of those women who
don't.1nd things out unless they are explained
she proceeded to send back a message Of
rathsr:unnecessary verbosity. as follows:
"Had lovely trip. Arrived In good health.
Expect you soon"
Expects me soon. does she?" eaid Cresson

the opinion that this STATE would give Bryan

Before the poise of the reports had
passed away DR.. Grand was hammer
ing at Stanley's locked door with a
heavy poker. The bolts gave way, and
he entered. The gas was at once light,
ed, and disclosed Stanley Robshaw's
apparently inanimate form lying bound
in the easy chair.
The ropes were at once cut, and a
policeman was summoned, by whose
aid the doctor carried his insensible
friend down to his consulting room.
Here restoratives were at once applied,
and the hapless man presently recov-
cred consciousness.
His first act was to point to his eyes.
"Quick-quick" he painted; "for
heavens sake, save my eyesight! That
villain has painted my eyes with can
tharides tincture."
Great heavens. Are you sure?"
anxiously asked his friend, springing
up from the seat he had just taken.
While he closely examined the law
yer's eyes, the latter related everything
that had befallen him. At the conclu-
sion of his narrative an expression of
ineffable relief appeared on the sur
geon's face.
Calm yourself, old fellow, it's all
right; but no thanks are due to Mr..
Kingston Scott for your escape. You
owe that to Mr.. Jonas Smithers, who
Is one of my regular patients. He is
hypochondriac, and has periodical at
tacks of nervousness. Whenever Smith
ers hears, or fancies that he hears
noises In his ears, he imagines that he
is going deaf. He then comes to me,
and demands to be blistered forthwith.
If refused to operate he would simply
go to another medical man, who might
perhaps be led to give credence to his
symptoms, and might really blister
him. So l keep for Mr.. Smithers' es-
pecial delectation harmless decoction
of weak tea and little iodine, and it
Is this which has been labeled liuuor
vesicatorius fortis,' that the miscreants
have employed. The word 'fortis' mis-
led them, and saved your eyesight, for
the real stuff was on the shelf above.
I'll apply something to counteract the
iodine, though it's hardly strong
enough to be felt after tomorrow; and
then you must take n composing
draught and go to bed. The bruise on
your temple will be all right in a
week."
At this moment knock was heard
at the hall door. The constable who
had been left on duty there answered
1t, and the police inspector was intro
duced into the surgery moment later.
Can have Mr.. Robshaw's state
ment, doctor?' he asked.
