HER KING
CHARLES
SPANIEL
BY ABBIE F. RANSOM

Rodney Jackson was at his desk In
the Office of the Hustler in that envia-
BILE state Of mind which usually fol
lows a good dinner and makes a fine
cigar a railroad on which to travel far
into the castles of Spain.
Two months before he had been
broken hearted because he and Della
Baesden had quarreled. She had Civ
en- him back his ring. 1t wasn't dia-
mond. He couldn't afford one. In
stead he had bought her an opal-"to
commemorate the month Of our en-
gagement," he said, land no bad luck
can follow so happy a courtship as
ours" But 1t was over. The bad
luck their friends had prophesied came.
Her heart had been broken, his life
ruined, and he ended 1t all by accept
ing a position on the staff of the Hus-
tier, one Of the "yellows," at nearly
double the salary the staid, conserva-
tive Daily Chronicle had been paying
him.
A lady's voice on the other side of
the partition which separted his desk
from that of the city EDITORS reached
his ears. 1t wasn't an ordinary lady's
voice-at least not to him-for 1t caused
him to jerk his feet off his desk, sit
upright and peer furtively around the
corner to obtain mere glimpse Of a
blue tailor made suit, the pink rim of
an ear and some locks OF brown hair
under a brown veil.
Now, tailor made suits. pink ears and
brown hair and wells are more common
every day than sunshine, but these par
ticular ones made his heart beat to the
tune Of Come Back. Sweetheart, to
Me-" while he strained his own ears In
most unmanly fashion to catch every
word the voice was saying.

you will put little notice among your
news items that my dog has been lost,
perhaps the finder may see it there.

There are Hypnotists and Hypnotists,
but the kings of the occult are the
Flints. Herbert l.. Flint is the first
hypnotist to be called in criminal
case and have his testimony accepted
