A STORY WITH TEETH
introducing a Mysterious Woman
With a Strange Mission.
BY M. QUAD.

copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary
Press.l
The village Of Brinkly was and is
today place of about 1000 inhabit-
ants, and the country is thickiy set
tied with farmers for seven miles
around before coming to another vii
lage, but only one dentist has ever
made 1t pay there since the place was
founded He didn't stay but couple
of months, but he carried away a roll
of money as large as a log.
1t wouldn't be polite to say that the
villager and the farmer do not give
proper attention to their teeth. but
they are never in great hurry about
it. They hate to part with the old
roots and snags and keep putting off
the evil day when they have got to
get into the executioners chair. 1t
might have been said of Brinkly and
the surrounding country that not an
adult had good set of teeth and that
up to certain day no one was giving
dentistry any serious thought. Then
on Monday morning change took
place. A travelling dentist who had
his Office in a van drove into town
and opened shop. For two days no
one went near him, although he hung
out a sign of the most painless kind
Of painful dentistry.
Then a strange woman arrived. She
was dark complexioned, dressed like
a gypsy and passed for one. She was
a mysterious woman on a mysterious
errand. She had come to that locality
to search for great buried treasure
She couldn't search for it by her lone
some, as the spirits guarding it had
put a ban on her, but the gold was to
be found through some one else That
some one else must have tooth drawn
to propitiate the spirits. Then he
would be led to the treasure and would
whack up with her. The hours for
finding the treasure were between mid
night and o'clock in the morning,
and the searcher must on no consid-
Grafton say word to any one about
what he was after. If not finding the

to lose three, but that would be the

Had the woman gone about among

She did exactly the contrary. She in

victim was known as the hardest head

He was so stingy and mean that when
he had the mumps he refused to let
any OF his neighbors catch them free

any buried treasure around there he
wanted his half of 1t. Indeed, he
wanted it all if he could get it.. He
had heard about the travelling dentist.
and within two hours of bis talk with
the woman he was at the van. 1t was
80 cents a pull, and the dentist Sc
lected a front tooth that might have
continued business for several years
longer. The pulling hurt like blazes.
but as the man carried the molar away

was his On a Sunday night, which

alongside of an elm tree and watch
for the fash Of a FREELY. Two feet
under ground beneath the fash the

The next day the dentist pulled teeth
for no less than five different men.
