Some time ago, poor old peasant
who had invoked the kings wrath was
seized by the kings soldiers and placed
in a dungeon. His majesty was pres
ent and had the old man searched be-
fore being incarcerated. All his per-
sonal property consisted of cheap
watch, a small penknife, shilling in
cash and q lead pencil. The poor old
man begged for mercy, but his plead
ings availed him nothing, and he final
" asked to be granted the privilege Of
knowing the length Of his sentence. In
reply the king took his knife and watch
which lay on the table, and after TAX
ing the knife and prying the hands of
the watch, returned to him his watch,
saying, When you have learned to
tell the time correctly by this watch in
your dungeon cell. you will be liberat-
ed" The poor old man, knowing that
the king meant life sentence, stag
gered into his cell and wept bitterly.
Nevertheless, he was liberated in twen-
ty-four hours, having accomplished
the wonderful task of telling the cor
rect time in the dark with a watch
without hands How did he do it?-

He had felt that she was lost -
| him forever, and desperation seized
him.
His law business went to tn. dogs,
while he Joined the wild herd which
| frequented the stock exchange.
He did not gamble in grain. He
| acknowledged the criminal injustice
| of speculation in breadstuffs or provi-
sions and, now that his eyes were
opened he was too honest to engage
il such piracy.
But one taste of speculation was to
him what one taste of liquor is to
many another man. 1t intoxicated
him. There was no consideration to
hold him back, and he rushed madly
into the purchase and sale of stocks,
rising and sinking with the tide, try
ing to drown the misery in his heart
with continual excitement.
Month after month passed. Hollis
made money, but lost it quite as fast.
At the end of three years he was back
where he started, absolutely penni-
less. Worse than that, his mad career
had left him bankrupt in friends and
credit. His clients had forsaken him,
and he knew not where to turn.
Stung with remorse and despair, he
thought Of the only escape that
seemed open to him-suicide. So
there came out in the paper one morn
ing the following heading to a long
article setting forth his history and
the moral it pointed:
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE-A Talented
Young Lawyer, Ruined by Specula-
ton, Shoots Himself in the Head
Fatal Career of Hollis Craig-He is
in a Critical Condition"
In darkened room Hollis lay back
upon the pillows, pale and haggard,
wondering at the strange providence
that had saved his life.
He seemed to be sleeping, but the
soft rustic of woman's dress aroused
him. He looked up and saw a slight
figure clad in deep mourning, the face
and figure of Mamie Lyon!
"Hollis!" she whispered, bending
over him with the tender light of a
divine love shining in her eyes. "Hol-
lis, do you know me?"
"Nannie!" he said, family, trying
to raise his head "Nannie!"
Eyes. 1t is Nannie!" she cried. joy
ously, Clasping her arms about him.
'Oh, Hollis? Thank heaven, you still
live. l will never leave you now
never, never!'

struggle; darling, you must not!
ANA wreck; you-no, no. the sac
rifice is-too great
81 love you,' she whispered, bend
pale li?s. Let me stay, Hollis!"
A look of speeches. JOY fitted over
his wan face, he clasped his arms
about her. his tears fell on her shin
ing hair, but still he shook his head.
"Hollis." she pleaded, in tremulous
tones, papa and mamma are both
dead. l am all alone. want you
to take care of me-"
"I!" he cried, in the ecstacy of self
scorn; "Oh. Mamie, Mamie, l am
ruined man."
But l am rich now, Hollis. and-1
love you. Let me stay with you. l
would rather you were penniless than
than that you should have millions
made by speculation. Darling, you
can begin all over again, and begin

Her arms were about him, her sweet
wooing lips close to his own.
His great love welled up and swept
away his scruples.

whispered. For your sake-fOr your
sake-for your sake! Mamie, my dear

My dog early learned that at 10 A.

expected to follow as he does at other
times; consequently he remains con-
tentedly behind. although there is no

Sunday he shows his usual expectan-

fourteen years he evidently lost his

way. The first time he failed to I'M

THE CALL
Gov. Davidson Announces That He
Will Be a Candidate for Re.
nomination atPrimaries
MAKES BRIEF DECLARATION

Governor James 0. Davidson, late
Wednesday evening declared himself a
candidate for denomination for the
high office of governor Of the state and
in a brief note sent out from Madison,
in which he accepted the call recently
sent him by 200 Milwaukee Republi-
cans, urging him to come out as can
.didate. AS the Governor is the first in
the field it is thought that his decision
will bring about an immediate draw
ing of lines and it is possible that so
many of the leaders of the party will
rally to his support that it will make
it inadvisable for any other candidate
Ito enter the field. In his short an
|nouncement the Governor does not take
up the question of his platform, but it
is understood that this will be issued
later in the campaign. In his note of
acceptance he says;
''Ia thank sincerely" says Gov. Da-
wilson, "for this expression of conf
|dence and proffer Of support and accept
your call to become a candidate for
governor. Should the people elect me
for another term it will be my en-
deavor to serve them with fidelity. If
elected it shall be my purpose to safe
guard the rights of every citizen, to
enforce rigid economy in public affairs
and to execute the laws of the state
without prejudice or partiality"
The petition, which has been signed
by 200 Milwaukeeans, reads, in part.
as follows: -
|'Because of the able, honest and
efficient manner in which you have for
more than two years administered the
duties Of your high office; because of
the desirability of retaining at the head
of our state government one already
conversant with the duties of that Of
flee and especially the details Of the
work OF constructing the new state
capitol, respectfully request you to be-
come a candidate for the Republican
nomination to the office you now hold. y
