the red life-blood gushing forth afresh
from the gaping wound in his back,
but he needed it not. His whole mind
was intent upon the movements of his
enemy. His right hand firmly grasped
the stock of the heavy revolver, with
his ready forefnger grimly caressing
the trigger; his lips were pressed
tightly together; his eyes cleaned
brighter, more balefully than ever, and
his whole attitude was one of intense.

Mrs Edwin Knowles of Brooklyn,
the new president of the Professional
Woman's league, does not believe in
woman suffrage. Discussing the sub
ject the other day, she said that to her
mind the woman suffragist appeared
as a ridiculous being. Mrs. Knowles,
who enjoys the reputation of knowing
what she is talking about, expressed
the opinion that nothing was to be
gained by enfranchising women There
are as many ignorant women as men, %
she says, land giving woman the right
to vote would merely increase the num-
Der of voters, while their division on
the issues of the day would be about

Ton MICH John Doe.

The campaign against John Doe,
Richard Roe and Jane Stiles, alleged
fictitious personages who figure prin-
cipaASy in divorce cases in Connecticut,
mairA1- as a cover for the correspond
ent in such suits, was begun in the
Superior Court, New Haven, by Judge
Wheeler, during an exparte hearing in
a case in which John Doe was named
as correspondent, says the Hartford
Daily Times. When the complaint
had been read, with John Doe named
as the defendants friend, Judge
Wheeler informed counsel for the
plaintiff that he would not accept the
complaint with John Doe as part of it.
Then he said that hereafter while he
was on the bench of the Superior
Court he would not under any circum-
stances recognize John Doe in any
such suits. He stated that if the CO.
respondent was known, the name Of
such individual should be entered on
the complaint, and If unknown, then
the papers should announce that fact

PEBBLE FOR EVERY OATH.
An ArtisticaIIy Profane GoIf-Piayer's
Record Turned In.

An ArtisttcalIy PrOfane GOIf-Pisyer's
Record Turned In.
There is a weII-known young man
in Omaha, who does several other
things better than he plays golf. He
is a past master in artistic swearing.
In fact, his anger finds expression in
such coherent streams of expletives
that his reputation as a member of the
Country Club is based chiefly on this
accomplishment. But to get at the
story of a famous bit of golf playing
this loquacious young man did last
week. His record is 1877 or Whereabouts
and every time he makes the round of
the course his score grows worse and
he gets more vehement in giving ex-
preston to what is uppermost in his
mind. Last Wednesday before he
started on the course one of the young
mans friends jokingly remarked:
Every time you swear put a clod or a
chip or a piece Of gravel in your
pocket.X This was early in the after
noon. Just as the sun was sinking in
the west a weary young man with
bullying pockets staggered into the club
house. His friends had forgotten him
and supposed he had gone home. As
he entered the door he emptied a coat
pocket and pebbles rolled all over the
reception room floor. That's the plain
d-ns - he exclaimed. From another
pocket he dumped 100 pebbles which
stood for a stronger number of the
purely masculine vocabulary. Other
pockG.cs produced still more pebbles
and clods which represented other bad
words His friends tried to call halt.
but he persisted in littering up the
floor, remarking: This amt a cir
cumstance. Just wait till you see the
wagonload Of oats the caddy and the
teamster are bringing" This story is
told on the authority of friends of the
artisticaIly profane young man.-From

as the last drop went trickling down
his throat. l like whisky with an edge

the chance. Eff it warn't fer that bull
let in my back I'd feel bout ez clipper
ez ever. Bet 1 kin pull a trigger with
the best of 'em yet. Lemme see; whar
is my gun?'
Reaching down he drew a heavy six
shooter from his hip pocket and swung
it into position for action. His steel
gray eyes cleaned with the baleful
glitter seen in the eyes of a wounded
snake or q wild beast at bay. There
was a smile on his face-the crafty,
vindictiVe smile of a savage lying in
wait for his prey or gloating over the
suffering of his victim tied to the
torture-stake.
A little brown bird alighted on a
tvig above his head and began cheerily
singing, but with a wave of the hand
and an impatient oath he frightened
it away.
Then a buzzard wheeled lazily over
head, scanning with hungry eye the
earth below, and as the wounded man
looked up and saw it he broke into
sardonic laughter.
"Ha, ha, ha. Yeh seen ole Cy Gran

he'd left some grub fer yeh along the
road behind him, did yeh? Well, yeh

He raised his revolver to level with
his right eye and squinted steadily
along its shining barrel. For fully a
minute he held it thus, and then
| dropped it to his side with the remark:

A half hour passed during which
the wounded man neither stirred nor
spoke.

senses were on the alert.

on the hard mountain roadway and

The Man BY the Roadside.
nv Will s. GIDLEY.

Copyright, 1901. by Daily Story Pub COD
A man suffering from half a dozen
gunshot wounds lay dying by Ken
lucky roadside man grizzled anu
gaunt, and upon whose lean face was
the bronze of fifty summers and many
q jagged seam and scar.
A rabbit poked it's nose inquiringly
through the bushes as he lay there,
and then at a sudden movement from
the diving man turned and scuttied
swiftly away.
Then a big blue-bottle ny came buzz
xing around the helpless man, welter-
ing in his own life-blood beside the
rude mountain trail, and after hVe
minutes of blundering and humping
against his battered features finally
zettled down on the raw edge of a
wound, just below the matted hair on
his forehead and began patiently drill
ing into the sensitive flesh.
The exquisite pain seemed to revive
the MORALLY wounded sufferer and
awaken his instinct of self-preserva-
ton. His right hand stirred by his
side, and then crept slowly-slowly
but surely-up toward his blood
stained forehead.
Inch by inch it advanced-that
gnarled, claw-like hand-until it was
on a level with the demon fly probing
into Ris wound; and then with a sud
den movement he brought it down,
crushing the life out of his tormentor.
f'Ha, ha! 1 got yeh, did II" he
chuckled hoarsely. "Wush 1 could
reach out an mash ole Cy Grandy
under my hand same ez l did tibet fly!
cd die happy then. Yaas. I'd be
willin' to go to hell if 1 cd send Cy

The wounded man rolled over and
made an effort to rise to a sitting posi-
ton, but the attempt was a failure.

He stretched out his right hand and
it came into contact with a smooth,
oblong-shaped object lying on the
blood-soaked grass by his side.

D. O. nl,n. =. the PLAY.

On one occasion, in the ffties, an
amateur dramatic performance was
given in San Francisco for the benefit
OF some deserving charity. Among the
performers was the late Hugh Farar
MeHermott, the poet, and in box was
Mr.. Mills. The play was some classic
piece, and the acting was SO bad that
what should have been a tragedy be-
came farce. In the last act MeDer-
mott dropped his sword, and, stoop-
ing awkwardly, picked it mp. There
was a litter in the audience, which in-
creased as the Iuckless performer
asked: What shall / do with this en-
venomed blade?" From the bankers
