he had come to remove the stains from his fathers
memory, told him about my mortgage for two
thousand dollars and the worthless stock that
all l got out of it. And, by George! he up and
offered to pay the money, with ten per cent.
interest to date. and take the stock off my hands.
What did you do with the certificate, Mary?"
Me mel" broke out Mrs Bullsrnith Here I've
been sick in bed for months, and l never saw the
paper but the first night you brought it home!
What did you do with it, Thomas Bullsnith?"
Mutual taunts and recrminations grew fierce and
bitter across the dinner table; then stopped,
while thorough and feverish search of the house
was made No trace of the missing certificate could
be found, and Thomas Bullsmith almost tottered
back to the jewelry store, so shaken he by the
sudden reaction.
He home at supper time, suen and silent.
Did he pay the money!" Mrs. Bullsnith asked
anxiousy
No, of course he didn't'' her husband snapped
why should he when can't produce that paper?''
A week later Mrs Bullsnith across an item
in Chicago paper. The directors of the Mother
Lode copper mine, it said, have put the stock on
listed the stock exchange. 1t sold yesterday on
the curb at forty.''
That bit, of paper was worth eighty thousand
dollars, if she could only find it, The verv fire of
avarice burned in her blood She dared not tell her
husband of what she had learned; for in her heart
she somehow felt herself to blame for its loss She
could hardly have blamed him if he had killed her,
once knowing the truth So she spent her days
searching the house microscopically for the lost
certificate. She herself thin, tearing clothes
and bed con1forters to bits digging under carpets,
and looking again and again behind pictures and
through the contents of the writing desk. She neg
lected her household work. and others besides her
family began to whisper that she was losing her
mind.
One day she absent when Bullsmith came
home to dinner, having gone to search the contents
of the family ash bin, dumped on the village green
month previous But the goddess sent her home
just as her husband got up from early and scanty
table He smiling again
Well Mary he said cheerfuly I've got good
news for you, Young Williams is here again, and
he'll pay me the two thousand dollars with ten per
cent. interest, condition that l sign paper re-

a gOOd deal OF a Spectator
anyway, and if it ever gets
to be worth one cent on the
dollar You'll break even"
Ashen faced and near to
tears, Bullsmith crept home
with the bit of green and
golden paper. His wife, just
up from her bed, seized it
with hands that trembled
with wrath.
80 that thing stands for
ten years of slaving!' she
sneered, and ended with a
cry of inartlculate rage. She
tore the certificate half in
two and would have tossed
the fragments into the open
stove had not the golden
goddess interfered. The old
woman slipped, stumbled
against a chair, and toppled
over, her head striking the
edge of the table, while the
paper fell unnoticed into the
big woodbox. On top of it
presently the youngest Bull
smith dumped a bushel bas-
ket of chips.
The next three months
We're a nightmare. Thomas
Bullsmith grew white and
bent and wrinkled. His hand
tremblcd SO that he ruined
the insides of several watches.
At home his wife lay groan-
ing and tossing in her bed,
while the daily visit of a
doctor, at a dollar a call,
cut deep gashes in the family
income.
Then one terrible day the
jeweler brought to dinner
Strengthened shoulders and
q cunny face. Young Fred
Williams is here from Chica-
CO." he reported. He called

mental inducements, ten per cent. was potent
argument Before going home to dinner he went
to the court house and searched the records in the
county clerks office for what they might show
to the standing of the Williams block There
no mortgage, no lien of any kind, recorded against
the property. That afternoon, without saying
word to his wife, he called at Williams's Office and
accepted the proposal on his own behalf.
When he took the mortgage and note home at
supper time, his wife, because she had not been
suited, scolded harshly, and declared that Pa"
had much better stick to farm loans. Bulsmith
bore the accustomed lashng without recriminations
and put the papers away in the tin box in the ground
floor bed room. To him. to most other people of
means, taxes were abhorrent. If he had his mort
gage recorded it would cost him per cent; so
he simply hid it away and waited the ending of the
ninety days
Now, when the goddess starts her woong she
must win at any cost: so she arranged that the
next Monday morning old man Williams should be
found dead in bed leaving his estate in condition
far worse than bankrupt. 1t was nearly before
the news tricked into the iewelry store Bulsrnith
locked his door on the instant hurried home got
the mortgage, and sped to the office of the county
recorder to have it set down officially. Consterna-
ton! Nearly twenty thousand dollars in prior
claims each running against the Williams block,
stared him in the pallld face All had been
corded that morning.
Old Mrs Bullsmith took to her bed with the
shock and Thomas and the boys got their own
scanty meals. One night week later they
awakened by the cangor of the fire bell The Will
liams block burned to the ground and it was found
that all the insurance policies had expired the day
after old man Williams's death. Even the house in
which he lived merely rented. Nothing was
left but big safe full of wildcat mining stocks
The lawyer who made the final settlement was
humorist. He knew Thomas Bullsmith for timid,
mean, cowardly little person, who would take
chances with his immortal soul rather than with
copper coin. So, after careful investigation had
shown that nothing of the Williams bundle of
securities had more value than it might possess as
a specimen of the engravers art he tossed across
the table to the eweler certificate for two thousand
shares of stock in the Mother Lode copper mine of
the northern peninsula of Michigan.
There, Tom" he said, with a grin, that calls
for two hundred thousand dollars par value. You're

THERE is a most daz-

charms abroad in the land,
whose acquaintance is viz
tuously denied by most
men of substance and

them, on some forgotten

youth, she has given her
passing favors, for she is
ever the most idly capri

Rome, Aug. 21.-As the result of
the recent anti-clerical attack on
Iapal Secretary of State Del Val.
diplomatic note to all representa-
tives of foreign Powers has been
issued by the Vatican and sent to
the Italian Foreign Minister, Signor
Tittoni
The note Is couched in very strong
language. 1t is the first time since
1870 that such communication has
been sent to Italian Government off,
cials. After Rome was occupied by
Italian troops the Vatican authori-
ties refused to hold any official in
tercourse with the invading govern
ment.
The note was sent out because the
Pope Is determined to stop the anti
clerical demonstrations which dis
credit the Church and some of It's
institutions.
The note, by implication accuses
the Italian Government of conniv-
Ing with the Italian anti-clericals.

Meserve, who resigned as warden Of

my feelings have been awful and be-

simply shut my eyes and welded the
lash. To my mind as a result of
my experience the whipping post
should be abolished above every
thing else"
