The Knocker,

After God had finished the rattle
snake, the toad and the vampire, he
had some awful substance left, with
which he made knocker. A knocker
is a two-legged animal with a cork
screw soul, a water-sogged brain and
a combination backbone made of jelly
and glue. Where other people have
their hearts he carries a tumor of rot
ten principles. When the knocker
comes down the street honest men
turn their backs, the angels in heaven
take precipitate refuge behind their
harps and the devil bar-locks the gates
of hell.-Missouri Brunswicker.

people would not mind that. They

now saw his mistakes.
The Vances had arranged some coy

taken some children home from the

sprang to his feet as a scream echoed
out in the yard back of them.

and ran to the door, tore it open and
his daughter burst into the room, pale
with alright.

dragged his burden to lounge and

from his undue exertions.
"Oh, dear! dear!" exclaimed the
motherly Mrs. Vance, after a glance
at the white pulseless face of the I'M
conscious stranger-"a young man,
almost a boy! Abner, this is pitt

Helen stood regarding the rescued
wayfarer as though gazing upon some
vivid camera scene. A handsomer
face she had never seen. There were,
however, the traces of dissipation
upon. its surface. Then, too, the of.

When we decided to 90 into this
business we agreed to stay by 1t to
the last. 1t is a long way from a
failure"
Yes" sighed Mrs. Vance, but the
anxiety and slow worry is wearing
you down"
THE only mistake we made was
that we calculated on too little CAPT

are started right, we will give clean
meritorious entertainment, and-we
are bound to win!"
II was a peculiar position in which
the Vances found themselves. TWO
months previously they had sold out
a little general store business that
had given them a bare living for
twenty years and enabled them 10
give their only daughter, Helen, an
excellent musical education.
A relative in the south had been
the cause of a sudden determination
on the part of these worthy, credu'
Ious people that had altered the whole
current of their lives. He was some
thing of a plunger and speculator
with the motto: Get in first on the
new things" He had made a lucky
investment in a motion picture show
and was fast acquiring a fortune.

she'd be half the show"
So. pride aid novelty carried the
Vances away from their usual sober
Judgment and here they were now
discussing the results as proprietors
of the palace" photo playhouse al

They found a poor, cheap motion
picture show in the town when they

before the game was scheduled to
start. The crowd in the grandstand
was moving around in an effort to
see every point in the practice of the
two teams. The movement of the
spectators started the stand to sway

The game was started about half
