held In his hand.
"No-why, of course
The ring Of the telephone interrupted
her. She tried to reach the desk. but
the doctor interviewed.
"Oh. let me answer II, Mrs. Barring

some trouble a little while ago."
DIR. Woodhurst held the receiver to
his ear. and In his mildest, most polite
tone said:

Mrs. harrington walked nervously
TO the other side of the room.

voice, after a pause. the doctor said:

He hung up the receiver and turned
to Mrs. Darlington, who had sunk into
a chair awaiting the explosion.

Again she sighed.

announced.

Most astonishing situation, Mrs.

narrow margin of one vote"
Isn't that thrilling, doctor? I'm so
interested in narrow margins" The
remark was thrown in his direction.
To Bud she said. Get the number
on the telephone quickly"
Yes, lady. What Is the number?'
Bud asked.
Il don't know. Look IN the book"
she whispered.
Turning to the doctor. she asked,
by one vote. did you say, doctor?'
Yes; by one. Mrs. Darlington; only
one. and under the most peculiar cir
cumstances. That vote was cast by
Senator Reuben Glue Of Bugville City,

'Oh, no. | gather from this tele-
