Democracy may take Dewey.as vice
presidential candidate in the hopes that
he will be able to help them out of bad
case of hopelessness. but the average
Democratic ward-heeler will have little
but contempt for him. A man who never

their estimation.

McGill's grasp soon closed on the roots of low Alpine shrub. With 2. wrench that seemed to be tearing his arm from it's socket he brought up, anchored to the bush, and held on for very life.
 At dsath's door the eye is quick and keen. As he lay there gasping, McGiu saw the great gulf widen below. the mist that half hid and half revealed il, the sheer cliffs beyond.
 And h. saw, too. in the same instant. a human forn-the body of q woman--- on the edge of the precipice just whirl- grasped her.
 Perhaps the next half minute was for McGil as awful time as any man is called upon to endure. The strain upon his muscles was almost past bearing. The bush bent and cracked. Worse than all. he could hear away down the gulf the roaring thunder of the avalanche. growing bigger and bis ger as it fell, until at last the debris r-ached the valley below. where no human being had ever trOd.
 As for the woman. she was merci- fully spared the sight, the sound. the appalling uncertainty. Dead or insens- ble she lay inert under McGill's clutch. white and bruised
 Bit by bij he hauled the girl up to his own level. Then. bracing his foot upon the roots of the bush. he shifted his precious load to his shoulder, and thus burdened he crawled, rath5r than climbed. back to the path.
 There he shouted loudly for help. Presently came panting up the way the r5st of Miss Wiggins's party. Un- der the care of her friends the girl soon opened her eyes.
 Introductions followed and presently. when McGilrs friends came rushing down tin pajh to see what kept Bob such laundering long time getting q little water" they found themselves spectators at q moving scene of tears and kisses and gratitude.
 Then the two parties turned to the hotel together And after that McGin bascly deserted his friends and joined Miss Wiggins's.
 And after that-well. Miss Wiggins was solicitous about McGill's injuries, which Were rathor more serious than her own. And as for McGill, the shud- der that thrilled him whenever he thought that that lovely girl might have been but for him dashed to pieces in the gulf on the mountain side natur- ally suggested that he ought to be near her always to take care of her.
 Before the young people had reached Philadelphia they had discovered how wise and benevolent fate may be. and q the home of the brides mother they were married.
 And now when Mr. McGin wants to be particularly "mlan" he can truth fully say to Mrs. McGill:

HER CLEVER GAME.
What One Woman Did With q Thuus-
 and Dollar Bill to r Gain.

1 One day last week a well dressed wo- man ent red a state street sore. and ! stopping at the hosiery counter made q purchase amounting to forty cents. | in payment she tendered the clerk Il bank note which. when unfolded by | him. almost took away his breath. IL was q $100O bill.
 The clerk never before had < en. even in dreams, a Sl,GO0 bill. He gazed
 at it in a bewidered way. The clerks on either hand. although polit ly atten- tive to patrons. caught a glimpse of the bill and looked unutterably sur prlsed. So much In so little was as
 sounding. ..
 I'm sorry" said the shopper. "that I've no smaller bill with nln this morn ing. I hope it will not bother the house go make the change.
 Not at all madam" said tha clerk proudly dnd plomHly. r called to him self and sensitive for the financial fam"
 of his firm. "Ther- may be little de- lay in counting out your change: that will be all. Just have d seat, please"
 The bill was thrus, into a box along
 with the forty-csnt purchase slip, and
 started downward to the office oi eX-
 change. Arrived ther5 it created such a commotion among pompadours and shirt waists that he head floor walker
 was called into consultation. He caught up the surprising bill and ear
 ried it to the head cashier Then, in secret conclaVc, it was decid q that be fore the bill should be cashed it must be known to be genuine. IL was there upon sent out to a bank. where it was test q and found to be all right"
 In the interim of waiting for hr change-$999 6O-the shopper discovered tha. the pair of hose she had selected aid not quite suit her, after all: and SD tn $1OGO bill was finally returned to her
 T snail have to have it chansei pres cntly," she remarked. as she tucked it into her pocketocok. 'far l must have some things up stairs"
 Meantime. by a system of t legraphy peculiar to departmen, stores. the fame of the hosiery transaction had spread over the main floor and up stairs and down. The woman with the $l.OO0 hill" was the whisper as nh- shopper sauntered through some attractive aisles and stepped into an elevator. And so it came about that when. on an upper floor. she had invested to the amount of $200, tn clerk was quite prepared to be handed a $1,O00 bill IT was eTaciously received at the desk. It had now acquired a pleasantly fla mi!iar look. EiGlt hundred dollars were counted out and delivered to tin shopper, who Ih=rcup1n took quiet departure.
 Then followed a second general sur prise. Tn address left for the deliv- cry of the purchase was in q questiona- bia part of the city. Suspicion awoke. A $l.c00 bill was hurried a second time to a bank. This time it was founl to be a genuine-couEterfei Tae trick sr-W plain as Jle store reflected.

PITY AND BEAUTY

The most beautiful thing, in the world, is the baby, all dimp!cs and joy. The most pitiful thing ia that same baby, thin and in pain.
 The dimples and joy have gone, and left hollows and fear. 1t is fat that is gone; gone with it, comfort and color and curve; all but pity and love.
 The little one gets no fat from her food: has had none for weeks: she is living on what she had stored in that plump little body of hers. She is starving for fat; it is death; be quick
 Scott's emulsion of cod-livcr oil is the fat she can take. It will save her.
