political patronage. But where the
bad outlook came in was with the
city editor, which meant the entire
local staff. Within nine months four
city editors had been killed ON the
street, and no wonder that a con-
temporary said that the paper was
rightly named the Dispatch.
In the part of the country where
the Dispatch was printed silence
could discount truth as virtue. It
made no difference what a man might
know-it was what he said that got
him into trouble. But how was il
possible to print the news without
saying something, and was it likely
that one could keep on saying some-
thing without treading upon the

taught that 1t was right to kill men. |

she could not help but feel certain

But at this moment there entered q
tall, handsome fellow with black, rip.
ping hair. She smiled and asked him
to be seated. He sat down, and then
in businesslike manner told her
that he had come to apply for the
city editorship. She answered him
with a start and gasp. Was it pos

was afable and inclined to be con.
ciliatory, but the angel said that he
wasn't feeling very well, having just
got up from shake-dowE of chills
and fever, and he thought that lit
tie fresh blood was eIout what he
needed. Hicks asked him if doctor
had given him that sort of a pre-
scription, and the angel flowed" that
he had, and then the ground was
stepped off, and Hicks shot the angel
between the eyes, and the coroner
declared that it was a good shot.
This was also printed, and by this
time Hicks was at the threshold of
reputation. Sometimes in society, at
receptions or at teas, Miss Lelane
was asked If she had heard anything
more of that fellow Hicks. Everyone
was interested in him.
The skeleton would once in awhile
bring in a piece of news. No one
thought of killing him, yet they made
II inconvenient. One man hit him
with mallet and dislocated his hip,
and laid him up for q day or two,
and another fellow knocked him
down, just to hear him rattle, but
otherwise no damage was done. Still
his position was often embarrassing.
So he said that he believed he would
resign. Lelane urged him to remain
. day or two longer, till she could
find another skeleton, or some
other physical unfortunate, immuned
against attack. He said that he was
willing to stay till his other hip was
dislocated, but after that she would
have to make other arrangements.
He went, out and just then came an
other communication regarding Ralph
Hicks. He was on a railway train
when three robbers came in with pis-
tolls and demanded money or life.
Men fell down and the train was at
the mercy of the robbers till Hicks,
who had been taking nap, awoke.
Then the scene changed. He was so
tickled to find something useful to
do that he broke out into rude
laughter. But he did not stop at this.
He shot two of the robbers, tied the
other one. threw him upon the wood
box and told the conductor that he
might go ahead whenever he got
ready. This piece of news tickled the
Town and the name of Hicks was
heard in every gathering. Two days
alter the skeleton came in, limping,
Ind said that his other hip had been
iislocated and that it was now time
or him to go. She paid him off and
le went out, and Lelane sighed be.
