hid her face on that lady's massive
shoulder.

That night Ashley delivered his final
speech to the electors OF Blackton-le-
Moor.
The meeting, which was to have been
riotously opposed. passed Of amid gen
eraI enthusiasm. His agent attributed
this to the large number Of women who
were seated in the body Of the audi
ence, and who seemed to suppress at
once any signs Of riOting.
When he came to the end Of his
speech a roar Of enthusiasm burst forth
from friend and foe alike.
The following morning it was ru-
mored that Bully" Acroyd and the
Jolly Miners were voting solidly for
/ Ashley. II was further rumored in the
afternoon that large numbers Of voters
/ IN No-Man's Land and Walkers Rents
were prevented from coming to the poll
by their wives. who had stolen their
clothes in the night and had kept them
in bed all day with unlimited Cruel and
tobacco and beer. declaring that they
were not well, and should neither work
nor vote that day.
Late that night, as Ashley drove
down to the Town Hall, accompanied
by the rector and his daughter, he de
clared, as he absenly twisted a dia
mond ring on a very slender finger
that he was far too happy TO carr
whether he was at the top Of the pol
or not.
As he spoke, a red rocket scared from
the roof Of the Conservative Club, AM

DR.. Crawford. my amiabIe Baptist

Western dress appeared 70 him an adj
vantage in his mission. as more liable
to attract the attention and respect OF
the population in the different places
he visited. In fact. no effort was needed
to get an audience together, for great
crowds usually collected about him,

The experiment in Paris OF supplying
automobiles TO the mail collectors and

and now comes the news that In the
French town Of Alencon there is in ex-
eellent working order an automobile

cles coupled to an ambulance OF the
Lagogue pattern. The motor man and
the doctor use the Quadricycle, and the
patient Is the sole occupant Of the am

for the benefit OF the country far and
wide. the service Is naturally managed
differently from the Paris ambulance
service. After a call Is received 1t is
necessary to secure a doctor and travel
out in the country perhaps miles for
the patient. Hence the speed furnish

A young girl who lived in the little
village near Cork, Ireland. broke an
artery In her chest and lost almost ev-
cry drop Of blood in her body. The
doctor who was called had only been
qualified a year and was not out Of his
twenties. He injected salt into his pa
tents veins to bring her around, then,
turning to her naturally anxious par
ents, he said: Il eau save her life If
anyone viii allow me TO inject a quart
Of their blood into her system"
Although there We're two strong sons
in the room, neither said a word, but
their mother. a delicate woman, voiun-
teered to give the required quantity.
The doctor saw at once that she re-
{ quired every drop she had in her body
and without another word he barred his
arm. cut a vessel and allowed the blood
to run into the veins Of his patient He
saved the young lady's life, but he was
never able to make good the blood he
had lost, and about six months later he
died.
