In another moment the judge and per-

Annie would hand them the letter

was a moment of terrible suspense.
Annie stood aloof, her eyes fixed on
the floor. Suddenly, without uttering
a word, she drew Underwood's letter
from her bosom, and quickly approach

hand. The bankers wife flushed and
then turned pale. She understood.
Annie would spare her. Her lips
parted to protest. Even she was taken

Joke on the Doctor.

The physicians in Mankato had
agreed that during their Chautauqua
assembly they would employ a call
boy, and each was to pay his share
of the expense. This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, without
disturbing the speaker, as it was en-
barrassing to him and looked as If
they were doing it to advertise with
out expense. So it all went well until
the afternoon when Strickland w. Gil
Liland spoke. AS he was talking away
a certain doctor had a caH from the
platform. and he walked out rather
ostentatiously. Some of the people
who knew of the arrangement laughed
or snickered, and the speaker got it.
He said. Don't laugh, folks. That is
the way my brother got his start"
And everybody roared.
