skirts, and as Dorothy disappeared
within Hastings strolled down the
quiet village street.
Matters had been tacitly understood
between him and Dorothy for a long
time, and when he had obtained the
position as operator at the depot he
had hoped soou to be able to make her
his wife. Then the First National
bank was established In Tabor and,
to the surprise of everybody, Almon
Spencer, who had been elected presi-
dent, appointed Frank Paxton as cash.
Ter. The action had excited no little
comment, for Paxton was New York
er, and Tabor felt that the position
should have gone to local man. Ger
aid had at first hoped to secure the
place himself, and now it seemed to
him that Paxton had cut him out Of
everything. A fierce desire for venge-
ance filled his heart as he made his
way homeward.
His feelings had not changed the

9:10 down train there was little to be
done for more than an hour, and he
busted his brain devising some means
for overcoming his rival.
He and Dorothy had been lovers al

to city man seemed doubly hard.
He was awakened from his reverie
by the appearance of the janitor of
the bank, who deposited on the ledge
q coin and yellow telegraph blank.
"Mr. Spencer says to send that at
once, please" this as Gerald mechanic
ally counted the words. The latter's
heart throbbed with sudden fierce salts

William W. BIrdsall. Bank Examiner. All

Can you come up at once2 Paxton has
gone wrong. ALMON P. SPENCER.
For more than two hours Gerald
went through his work automatically.
A delirious joy filled his heart at the
thought that his rival was driven from
the field. The revulsion came at I
o'clock with the return message:

night. WILLIAM w. BIRDSALL.
He sent the message up to the bank
by one Of the boys, but not with the
satisfaction he felt when he received
the first message. After all, Paxton,
in spite of the fact that he was his
rival, was a pleasant fellow, with a
kindly word for all. 1t would be q
terrible thing to be arrested for such
q betrayal of trust.
The rules of the Western Union are
strict on the matter of giving out in
formation relative to dispatches, and
the thought that such a revelation
would mean the sacrifice of his posi-
tion deferred him for awhile. But in
the end sympathy for his discounted
rival proved too strong.

When John Was In Doubt.

John was a coachman who took life
most seriously and, being very particu-
lar, would return frequently in the
course Of the day to make sure he un-
derstood the ore ers that had been given
him in the morning. One afternoon he
presented himself before his mistress
and began:
Mrs. IT., Oi'm not quite certain ez

noticed that the horse was lame. an he

A shoeing was evidently required, but
the execution of the order and likewise
of the horse was deferred until Mr.. T.

ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE.
One of the Great Dangers Which
Threaten Men.


The greatest dangers which threaten
man are generally invisible to the vic
tim, and among these none Is more
productive of disastrous consequences
than electrical leakage" the selfsame
leakage used by the natives of all hot
climates to lower their temperatures.
AS no organic function can take place
except by means of electrical currents,
80 1t can be easily understood that If
these currents leak from our bodies
the loss of power must be distinctly
harmful. A common instance of this
loss of electricity from our bodies con-
sists of what we call nervous shock,
the scientific explanation being that
sudden egress of electricity takes place
owing to the violent mental impress
sions involuntarily forcing current Of
power through channels which had not
been previously open to receive them.
"This," remarked a scientist, 'is but
one case among thousand of the ways
in which we uselessly expend our vital
power. The electrical waste of a per

The DOG That Served the Purpose of
q VentriIoq uist.
The following story is told of q ven
triloquist, now famous, but at the time
of this happening so hard up he used to
walk between the cities where he was
to appear. On one of these tours he
came to Philadelphia on foot, and on
the road he picked up miserable little
dog because it looked so much like he
felt" The story will explain what be-
came of the dog.
The first house he came to was sa-
loon. and of course he wanted drink.
He had no money, but went in anyhow
to see what he could do. The proprie-
tor, a German, said:
"Well, what will you have|
He said, "Ill take little whisky"
and then, turning to the dog. he asked:
"What will you haveW
The answer came very promptly:
'I'll take a ham sandwich"
The German was so surprised he al
most tainted. He looked at the dog q
moment and then asked:
What did you say?"
The dog replied:
81 said ham sandwich"
Hans thought it wonderful that dog
should be able to talk and asked who
had trained him, how long it had taken,
etc, and wound up with:
"How much you take for him?"
"Oh," said Mr.. Ventriloquist, II
wouldn't sell him at any price, but
am a little hard up now, and If you Will
lend me $50 I'll leave him with you till
l bring back the money"
"All right" said Hans. II just want
him for a little while SO 1 can show
him to some smart people / know
around here"
So everything was settled. the money
paid, etc, and as the ventriloquist went
out he turned and waved his hand to
the dog and said:
''Well, goodby, Jack. I'll come back
soon."
The dog looked at him and said:
"You mean son of q gun, to sell me
for $50 after all I've done for you! So

A BIG STRIKE OF WATER.

Depth of 349 Feet.
A big strike of good water has been
found in the c., r. |. & p. railway well
in Tucumcari at a depth of 349 feet,
says the Alamogordo News. In drill.
ing no rock of any kind was encoun-
tered, and the water was found in
coarse conglomerate gravel, evidently
the bed of a su~bterranean river, as the
gravel found is worn round from water
friction, and i~nterspersed with SHELF
of various kinds.
In thirty minutes the water had risen
200 feet in the well. The quantity
seems to be inexhaustible and the
quality excellent. This strike of fine
water will be received by the railroad
company with no little rejoicing, as
the company has expended vasts sums
of money in drilling and exploring for
water along its lines in this county. 1t
means much for Tucumcari and will be
both a boon and a boom of incompara-
bic value to our town. 1t may result in
bringing railroad shops of various
kinds to this place.
This well, together with the well re-
Gently opened by the Tucumcari Elec-
trio Light & Water company, settles

part of the country for all time to
come, and great rejoicing by property
Owners in Tucumcari is the result.
