attracted by the sight Of the familiar
picture Of the father which was on a
great easel in front Of the artist.
She came q few steps farther into
the room, and still the artist did not
look up, and it was only when Faith
had advanced as far as the frame of
the picture of her father that he turned
his face and looked at her.
"L am Faith Kirk. and that Is my
father" said Faith, speaking directly,
after Malcom's own manner, and point
Ing at the portrait. "I've come on a
rather peculiar errand, Mr.. Raleigh,
but you won't blame me for 1t, am
sure"
Blame the daughter of Dorothy Gil.
bert" cried Francis Raleigh. His
once heavy, black hair was streaked
with gray, and he had grown notice
ably old in many ways, but he was a
handsome and well preserved gentle
man, and the old Raleigh manner sat
on him with even more grace than
when he was young.
He rose and bowed with an elegant
politeness that brought the color to
Faiths cheek, and for q moment they
stood, facing each other In silence.
Then Raleigh brought chair, and
Faith sat down, while the artist look
ed at her with great and increasing In
terest.
81 suppose you have come to take
me to task for painting this picture" /"
he said. 1T was in one sense q very
bold thing for me to do. think, how
ever, your father will forgive me. l
am sure he will when he knows all
about my reasons for doing it" He
spoke in q tone that made Faith feel
somehow that the picture had had a
real influence on the life Of the artist,
as indeed it had, and the telling Of 1t
at another time revealed the fact that
Francis Raleigh had gone through an
experience Of moral struggle that had
left him also victor in overcoming.
"I'm sure father, would be pleased"
said Faith slowly. Then she paused,
for suddenly one of her shy spells
came over her and she did not know
how to go on. For the first time she
seemed to feel as If perhaps her er-
rand would be considered unusual.
"What can do for you" said
Raleigh. He spoke in a way that re-
moved Faiths shyness at once. If 1t
had not been for that she would have
gone away without telling him what
she had come for.
"Of course" he continued, 81 am
wondering every minute how you hap
pened to come in here, for your home
is in Kansas, isn't it? and p
"Will you let me tell how happen
ed to be hereT said Faith, feeling
more confident in her errand. II shall
have to tell it before you will under
stand why l have come"
Eyes, tell me your story" said Ra-
leigh, smiling encouragingly. So Faith
related her experience in the photogra-
piers studio and her present place Of
work at the Fultons', whereat Francis
Raleigh opened his eyes a little, but
he continued to listen In sympathetic
silence.

To Have Good Teeth.

To Have Good Teeth.
All persons, old and young, should
have their teeth examined once every
six months by a competent dentist.
Decay will be present and tartar form
ing which nothing but thorough ex-
animation will reveal. Professional
service rendered in time means high
class work, less pain and great econo-
my. A tooth filled when decay Is slight
will not be sensitive, the operation not
long and the filling lasting, because the
operator has more and better structure
to work on. He Is enabled to make
the walls of the cavity thicker anG
stronger and with slight danger Of ex-
posing the nerve, the dread and fear Of
all when having teeth filled. Have
your teeth attended to in time. Do not
procrastinate. Give the dentist good
tooth structure to work upon, and he
will render you excellent service. One
person in hundred has good teeth;
80 persons in 100 could have good teeth
with the proper attention.-H. G. Vor-
hies, D. D. s., in Woman's Home Com

SOME ELEMENTS Of CHANCE.
The Change of very Few votes May Elect
Bryan.

Bryan.
Saturday Evening Post.
All sorts of things may happen in
four years. Conditions change and
people sometimes think differently on
the same issues. Then, too, even in
the most successful presidential elec-
tions there are always close margins.
When Cleveland was elected over
Blaine a change of six hundred votes
in New York state would have revers-
ed the result, and in that contest the
Prohibitionists polled in New York
alone over twenty-five thousand votes.
Major McKinley's success four years
ago was the most marked in American
politics for nearly a quarter of a Gen.
tury. His plurality over Mr.. Bryan
was upward of over six hundred
thousand, and the electoral vote stood
Mckinley 271, Bryan 176. The ma
iorities here seem overwh lining; but
in presidential contests the popular
plurality has little to do with the case.
indeed, in several of our elections the
winning man has had the plurality
against him. The interest of the fig
ures of the last contest rests in the fact

Thayer and Bryan.

Thayer ana bryan.
When WILLIAM Jennings Bryan first
went to Nebraska, he was hired to take
the stump against Thayer, who was
running for governor, and said some
hard things against the candidate.

Mrs. Fulton rose, looking bewildered.

thought of associating Faith with 1t.

Fulton. "Alice, will you 60 and see?''
Alice went out and soon came back,
saying that Faith had gone. Malcom
Stanley paced the parlor In unusual
agitation Of manner.
"If this is the daughter Of Malcom
Kirk" he said to himself. Then he
turned to Mrs. Fulton and bowed
formally.
"You will excuse me, madam, If l
take my leave now. I am obliged to
make some arrangements about the
picture at Mr.. Raleigh's this after
noon."
"When do you leave for the west?"
Mrs. Fulton asked. She was annoyed
at the events Of the day.

Denver But feel anxious to see Miss

showing some color under the excite.

"She certainly played the piano like

And, besides, you can see from her
manner that she is refined and lady
like" Alice spoke with glow Of un.
selfish feeling, and Malcolm Stanley
looked gratefully at her.
81 may come out with Mr.. Fulton
this evening"" he said.
Mrs. Fulton and Alice to talk over the
matter, while he went down to Francis
Raleigh's studio, determined every mo.
mcnt with increasing resolve to re,
turn and see Faith before the day was
over.
Meanwhile Faith had gone directly
to the familiar window on State stree;
where the picture had been.
She knew before she reached the
place that the picture was gone, be-
cause the usual crowd Of people was
not there. She stopped in front Of the
window, however, and read the adj
dress of the artist which was attached
to q small scene Of Il foreign seaport
She heSitated moment, and then reSO

she finally opened the door, she drew
back at the entrance, for the room ap

red this year with the other states re-
naming as in 1896, Mckinley would
get 30S votes in the electoral college to
139 for Bryan-or considerably more
than twice as as many as Bryan.
These things show the great uncer-
tainties that attend presidential cleo
tion, and when you add two million
votes to the combinations that can be
made, the prudent man will wait un-
till the returns are in before Icing
sure of the results. In the meanwhile,
each party makes it's claims. Mr..
Bryan declines to concede single
state, and Chairman Hanna declares
the Democrats will poll fewer votes
than in 1896.

A Settlement Pending.

New York, Sept. 29.--Anthracite
coal was quoted 81 per ton cheaper
than it was two days ago. This was
taken as an indication that the rail-
roads and others with stocks of coal
on hand regard an early settlement
of the miners strike probable. Rail-
road officials however refuse to say
to what point negotiations to this
end had progressed, but it was learn
ed the operators practically agreed
not to entirely ignore the union in
making a settlement. The present
plan is believed to be to place conces-
sions before the men of the different
collieries and ask them to return to
work pending the settlement of the
remaining differences by arbitration.
The extent to which the miners or
ganization is to be recognized is said
to be that the men will have the operu
ators' terms placed before them at the
meetings of the local unions. Ac
cording to the Wall street news agen-
cy, there will not be a uniform rate
of increase proposed throughout the
district, owing to varying conditions,
but there will be no advance less than
10 per cent on the present wages.
New York, Sept. 29-The Evening
POST says today: while no final an
nouncement of the coal strike settle
ment is Forthcoming, there was today,
reliable authority for the statement
that matters still under discussion
are details merely and satisfactory
conclusion will be reached in a saort
time"
1T is conceded every where that
the coal trade price of coal after the
strike will never settle down to the
same level as before. More than 10
per cent increase in wages is believed
generally 10 be the concession the
miners will demand This will mean,
acc ording to reliable estimates, an
increase of fully twenty-five cents in
the cost of every ton mined. This
will make the cost at the collieries
about $2.75 per ton. The consumer
Of course, will pay the difference.
