A SAVING OF STEPS.

If a telephone would save you a
half dozen trips a day-it usually
saves people from three to six times
that many wouldn't it be an eco
nomical investment
A telephone i'll your house or
place OF business costs you less than
10 cents a day. Six trips a day
would cost you not less than ten
cents each, or a total of 90 cents.
In a month this would foot up the
enormous total of $I8 counting
Sundays and all. But some busi-
ness men use their phone 100 or
more times day. They couldn t
do withoutit.

ants, In the great, gloomy mansion on
the ancient Langdon estate, and dur
ing the month of probation" as
Thalia laughingly termed 1t, Thornton
was a frequent caller.
From their first meeting Thornton
had felt the charm Of Thalia's pres
ence. She had none of the pathetic
pensiveness that is so often the accom-
paniment of blindness. She was win.
somely bright and CHEEKY, and her wit
was like flashing steel.
After the necessary explanations
were made the approaching expert
ment was not mentioned until the day
came for the first trial. The applica-
tion Of the fluid used In the eyes was
like pouring hot oil into an open wound,
but Thalia made no sound nor uttered
word Of protest.
AS he bandaged the eyes DIR. Thorn.
ton said pityingly: This must be borne
twice more, Miss Langdon. viii your
courage hold outT'
1T will be as nothing II can only
see," she whispered.
She was trembling violently, and
Thornton was conscious Of a sudden
tumult of emotions such as he never
before had experienced.
Before this he had thought solely Of
the fame he would win by success In
case so unusual. Now, the thought Of
what the girl must endure was torture
to him, and, worse than that, was the
wretched uncertainty of the result. She
was no longer a "case." She was the
zone woman" He knew 1t!
when this is over" he resolved, II
will tell her-if succeed
When the bandages were removed
week later and the eyes submitted to
the required test his heart sank, for he
saw there was no apparent change.
Thalia did not speak, but the unutter-
ed question Of her eager face and tense
listening attitude struck a sharp pang
through his heart.

plication."

sighed. Il can walt"
When the day came for the final
test it was the man who was unnerved
and pale. The girl to whom that day
would bring the glorious boon Of sight
or the doom to hopeless darkness SEEM
ed endowed with a high, calm courage
that would have won the respect of a
soldier.
When the eyes were free she neither
moved nor spoke nor gave a sign Of
any consciousness Of change. With
jaws set close and hard, lest he betray
the awful fear that made him weak
and faint, Thornton adjusted the test
ing instrument. A quick second Of
sickening suspense, then he laid 1t
aside, and for awhile neither spoke.

said at last-"failedF'
His voice was quite calm, but It was
the calmness of despair.

out his stock of Hardware at cost, Mr.
Postel has built up a splendid trade in
Lancaster, and meeting wi tn the
greatest success. but illness of his wife
makes it necessary for him to seek
another climate, possibly California,
and this, of course, necessitates the
disposal Of the stock. He will sell the
goods at cost. and makes splendid
proposition to any one desiring to take
the entire stock. Mr. POStel is a fine
business man, and an upright citizen

Change in Voting Law.


One of the laws adopted by the last
Legislature requires all voters resid
ing in towns of the fifth and sixth class
to register prior to the election or be
disfranchlsed. Its but an extension Of
the law that has heretofore been in
operation in fist, second, third and
fourth class cities and is mainly for
the purpose of preventing people who
are strangers and who have not lived
in the town, county or state the re-
quired length Of time from exercising
the right of suffrage. With the ex-
ceptiOn of cities Of the first and sec.
Ond class the law is practically farce
as the officers of election in smaller
towns are familiar with every voter
in the different precincts and the
chance of an illegal vote being cast is
very few and far between. In addi
tiOn to the registration the law re-
quires that certificate be given each
voter at the time he registers, which
is the first Tuesday in October prece
ding the November election. With
out that certificate it will be impossi
BILE to vote, and notwithstanding 4;
citizens name may appear in proper
form on the registration book. Ifcer
titcate is lost or destroyed the either
can procure a new one by making al
affidavit and paying the County Clerl
SOC therefor. Voters will do we'll I,
bear these facts in mind as hundred
will doubtless be cut out of thei
votes through ignorance Of the nev
law.

Working Nicely.

If Jesse AlverSOn, the father of the
vagrant law, could see the seven OF
eight negroes cracking rock on oul
streets, he would feel proud that he
had law passed that has almost com.
pletely broken up the loafing habit.
Nearly every coon i'm town is now at
work, and many of the sorry white
ones have gone to scratching mother
earth. The law is a fine one, and the
Hon. Jesse AlversOn of the good coun-
ty OF Lincoln. is entitled to the praise
of having it enacted.
