door locked and barred and was obliged
to hunt up the landlord and ask him
for information. He hadn't much to tell
me, except that there had been a revo-
luton and that DR.. Moreno had installed
himself in the presidential mansion and
had placarded the town with proclama-
tions saying that he had resolved to put
an end to the era of revolutions in Tor
lizonia and to give the people peace and
security.
1.-THE landlord said that the revnlu,
tion had opened at precisely IL o'clor.-
in the evening and that there had beer
no resistance to Moreno, who had al
ready received the submission of ELL the
troops belonging to the four presidents.

news for the doctor was the last man
in Torrizonia whom | would have sus-
pected of taking part in politics. How
ever, he was a very popular man, and |
was, on the whole, glad to remem Der
that he had all his rivals safe in the
hospital and could threaten them with
amputation of the legs if they didn t
submit to- him and withdraw their
claims to the presidency
" Have you heard, said to the
landlord, whether the new president
has made any arrangements with the
presidents in the hospital?'
d" Certainly he has, said the land
lord. Didn't you hear the rife shots a
little while ago.
"'Of course | did, said |, but what
had that to do with the sour presidents?
" Only this, replied the landlord.
President Moreno discharged them
from the hospital at o'clock this
morning, stood them up against the
front wall and had them shot five min,
utes after they were discharged, You
can trust the good doctor to make a
clean job of anything he undertakes.
He is great man, and he will make
the best president we have ever had.

morning and congratulated him. He

aot be acting in a way worthy of his
high Office
81 thought over the situation that
night, and when morning came l called
on the doctor who was at the head of
the hospital and told him that wanted
to see the differences between the four
presidents amicably settled. In place
like Porto Nuevo the head of the hos
pital is always the most influential man
in town, with the exception of the pres
ident and the chief of police. You see
that whenever a revolution breaks out
and the parties to it begin to shoot the
hospital fills up pretty rapidly, and the
wounded men are mighty anxious to be
on good terms with the doctor, so that
he won't try any carving experiments
on them.
"This particular doctor was the most
level headed man in Torrizonia, and
when he and l had talked things over
we agreed that the best thing to do
would be for me to arrange an interview
with the four presidents and induce
them to compromise their differences.
The doctor said that they would agree
to anything, provided the consideration
was large enough, and he thought that
if the four presidents were to form a
syndicate and govern the country in
partnership it would be a satisfactory
arrangement all round.
81 went back to the hotel and wrote
an invitation to each of the presidents to
dine with me on the next day but one,

LAUGHING GAS.
The Man without 1t.

The weight of centuries he does not seem
To feel. He lies upon his back and yawnA
He bears the dust of ages on his face
Without murmur, but he feels thirst
A thirst that will impel him presently,
With great reluctance, TO up end himself
And work the town to quench it. Look at himl
Who gave him that consuming thirst? Whose
hand
Incarnadined that nose? Who put that look
OF ennui in his dead, lack luster eyes?
Who wore the clothes originally which
Hang in festoons about him now, and who
Turned him out to grass? Approach and ask him.
"My rusty friend my poor, world weary friend,
Ger whom the modern car of Juggernaut
So ruthessly doth seem to have been driven,
The maniness within thee crushing out
And making thee fattened imitation
OF human being, wilt thou tell me
Who is the author of thy miseres?''
"Bgosh, j dunno who! he makes reply.
"Al can rckollect is that day,
When was hoein in the field seemed
To hear voice that said, Throw down that hoe!'

But, boss, drapped that hoe, and hain't never
Felt like worLin since, and never 'spect tot"

ssAnd I'm blessed IL there was living
soul in the house-that Is, as near as
could guess. l couldn't tell for sure, of
course, without looking, but imagine
can tell always as soon as l step into q
house whether there's anybody in it or
not. In dead house. SO to speak-that
is, you know, where there's no life, mo-
body-the airs dead. don't mean with
the deafness Of shut up rooms. but it
lacks something, and when there is some
body that something is supplied. sup
pose it's current of some sort that
the air is charged with; but, anyhow,
you can tell by the feel whether there's
anybody in house or not, and there
wasn't anybody in this. But it wasn't
deserted, not by long shot. 1t just
seemed to me as though they'd all gone
off somewhere for that night, the whole
kit and caboodle of EN-, and left the
house alone.
"And it was comfortable house, l tell
you; everything just as slick and nice as
could be; people of means and people
who knew how to live and who lived
happily; pooty things all around and
showing so you could tell that the folks
had 'em there cause they liked EN-, not
just for show. And the silver was what
you might have expected in a house like
that 1t was solid and good and hand
some and at the same time kind of club
by-that is. it was inclined to be sort OF
stoutish rather than tall and slender.
1t looked good humored and cheerful
somehow, and it suited me right down to
the ground.
II got that stuff together. and it made
pretty heavy sort of sack. And then
I / stopped right there. ! knew the house
was empty we'll enough, but | wasn't
i taking any chances at all. might have
struck a good trade up stairs, but I'd
( struck good one down sure, and it
seemed as though it would be a blunder
/ to take one chance in a million of spoil
{ ing the good thing I'd got by reaching
I after more, and so l just went away and
went home and l got there, with all that
stuff. almost MS soon as I'd have got to
gone there. My folks was away. like
they was out of that house I'd just come
from. and babylike l spread the silver
out on u table in room down stairs and
looked at it and then left it there and
went to bed. | woke up in the morning
thinking of it and came down to look at il
again, and it wasn't there. 1t was gone
to the last spoon, and latch showed bach
from window showed how.
81 don't like to think ill of anybody il
my own profession, but I'd like even now
to meet the man that swiped that silver.
