doctor. "A young man living in the open

break down any constitution returned
Punterly. sadly.
OH laughed the physician. IT'S the
betting system that is out of kilter? Then
until that improves you will hardly be

II am not likely to be satisfied with It
until I have some thicker kind Of medi-

''Of course l do" declared Punterly.
II follow your directions reIigiously. and
l fiatter myself that 1 never make a
mistake, thanks to methodical habits:
it's easy for me to take my medicine

practice with me to make bets at the race

At this point the conversation ceased
abruptly Punterly sat bolt upright and
stared. then shot from the office without
a word.
DR.. Wilson chuckled a while. but soon
forgot the incident Late that evening.
after office hours. his humor revived at
the sight of Punterly. who saluted him
cheerily in marked contrast to his former
detection.
You were right exclaimed the pa

the patient. jovially. Il knew that ]

DEATH.

The westering sun draws nigh his cloudy bed,
Leo, and gradual darkness wells thy head:
The sluggish life blood in thy withered veins
More slowly runs its course-what then remansi
Lo Death is brandishing his fatal dart
And the grave yearns to shroud thy mortal part;
But from it's prison freed, the soul expands
EXulting pnions to the enfranchised lands
Ny weary race is rum touch the goal;
Hear Lord the feeble paintings of my soul;
If it be worthy, Lord, thy plying breast
Welcome it unto everlasting rest!
May behold thee queen of earth and sky
Whose love enchanted the demons lurking nigh
The path to heaven; and freely shall l own
Twas thy sweet that gained my blissful crown.

that l was married.

Thoughtlessly shifting the alabaster knee
cap of her saffron leg about half an inch
to the right, the fair young creature then
shifted il back again. and broke into
fresh tears (most tears are salt. but it
is different in the world of the Poster
