who can nurse a sick man? Why,
can do It myself; or Mr.. Van Camp,
his cousin, could do 1t. Why should
you want her. of all people. when she
feels so toward us?"
The moment his professional judg-
ment came into question Doctor Thay-
er slipped out from the cloud Of en-
barrassment which had engulfed him
in mis- recent conversation, and as
sumed the authoritative voice that
Agatha had first heard.
My dear Miss Agatha Redmond.
that is foolish talk. You are half
sick. even now; and it requires a
strong person, with no nerves, to do
what ! desire done. Mr.. Van Camp
may be his cousin, but the chances are
that he wouldn't know bromide from

had, so far as / know, and we can't
wait to send to Augusta or Portland.
The next few days. especially the next
twenty-four hours, are critical"
Agatha listened intently. and a
growing resolution shone In her eyes.
Would Mrs. Stoddard come, IL 1t
were not for what you said-about
me?" she asked.
The Lord only knows, but l think
she would" replied the poor, har-
assed doctor She's always been a
regular Dorcas in this neighborhood."
"Dorcas!" cried Agatha, her anger
again flaring up. II should say Sap
phira."
"Oh. now. Susan isn't so bad, when
you once know her." urged the doc
tor.
Agatha got up and went to the win
dow. trailing her travelling rug after
her. "She shall come-I'll bring her.
And sometime she shall mend her
words about me-but that can wait.
II she will only help to save James
Hambleton's life now. Where does
she liver" Suddenly, as she stood at
the window, she saw an opportunity
There's Little Simon down there now
under the trees; and his buggy must
be somewhere near. Will you stay
here, Doctor Thayer, with Mr.. Ham,
bleton, while | go to see your sister,"
Hadn't ! better drive you over to
see Susan myself" feebly suggested
the doctor.
mo, I'll go alone" There was
anger, determination, gunpowder In
Agatha's voice.
but mind you, don't offer her any
money" the doctor warned, as he
watched her go down the hall and dis
appear for an instant in the bedroom
where James Hambleton lay. She
came out almost Immediately and
without word descended the wide
stairway, opened the dning-room
door, and called softly to Sallie Kings
bury.
Doctor Thayer returned to the sick
room Ten minutes later he heard the
wheels of Little Simon's buggy rolling
rapidly up the road in the direction
of Susan Stoddards place.

CHAPTER XIll.-Continued.

Il can't go in-I can't bear to see
him so ill.," she whispered; and as
Aleck looked at her before entering
were filled with tears.
Agatha went back to her couch, feel
Ing that the heavens had opened. Here
was a friend come to her from she
knew not where, whose right it was
to assume responsibility for the sick
man. He was kind and good, and he
loved her rescuer with the boyish
would surely help; he would work
with her to keep death away. What.
ever love and professional skill could
do, should be done: there had been no
question as to that. of course, from
the beginning. But here was some
one who would double, yes, more
than double her own efforts; some
one who was strong and we'll and
capable. Her heart was thankful.
Before Aleck returned from the
sick-room, Doctor Thayer's step sound
ed on the stairs, followed by the
mildly complaining voice OF Sallie
Kingsbury. Presently the two men
we're In a low-voiced conference In
the hall. Agatha waited while they
talked. feeling grateful afresh that
Doctor Thayer's grim professional
wisdom was to be reinforced by Mr..
Van Camps resources. When the
doctor entered Agatha's room, her face
had almost the natural flush of health.
"Ah. Miss Agatha Redmond"-the
doctor continued frequently TO ad-
dress her by her full name, half in
affectionate Difference and half with
some dry sense of humor peculiar to
himself-"Miss Agatha Redmond. so

your man in there will be worn out
presently"
"Oh, that can be managed. Send
TO Portland, to Boston, or somewhere.
We can get a nurse here soon. Do
not spare any trouble. doctor. | can
arrange"
Doctor Thayer squared himself and
passed slowly up and down Agatha's
room. He did not reply at once, and
when he did, 1t was with one of his
characteristic turns toward an ap-
parently irrelevant topic.
Have you seen Sister SUSAN" he
inquired, stopping by the side OF
Agatha's couch and looking down on
her with his shrewd gaze. 1t was a
needless question, for he knew that
Agatha had not seen Mrs Stoddard.
She had been too weak and I'll TO see
anybody. Agatha shook her head
We'll, Miss Agatha Redmond.
Susan's the nurse we need for that
young gentleman over there. It's con.
slant care he must have now. day and
night: and IL he gets well, IL will be

amend the present law Sc that
Nevada can no longer be the butt
of ridicule. The Independent calls
upon these who are responsible for
this state of affairs to either do
their duty or else resign and give
way to men who know their duty
and are ready and willing to por-
form it.
This is the way the Ely Record
puts it.
The Record is informed that
a member of the legislature was
recently Jared loose from $500 in
little social game with friends at
the state capitol and yet under the
law or at least according to a rul-
ing of the late attorney general,
this is not gamlbing-just a little
recreation and amusement for the
fellow who wins.
The gambling law is farce and
is being ignored in every camp in
the state with the exception of
Tonopah, where an effort is still
being made by the sheriff to en-
force it.
Local officials who make no at
tempt to enforce the anti gambling
law should not be harshly criticized
when state officials and members
of the legislature are openly play
ing for big stakes every day and
evrey night in the states capitol.
The trouble is in the law, rather
than with the officials. In case of
arrests the question naturally
arises: What is gambling? The
law answers certain games and
seems to exclude other games OF
chance upon which money is won
and lost. Local officials know that
gambling is going on in every camp
in the state. but they do not know
and probably could not prove that
the anti gambling law is being
broken Or even fractured.

THE ELKO BOYS

The Eiko county boys should be

the Elko contingent was loyal to
them to the last and cheered every

The Independent holds no brief

making and law enforcing power
of the state, making a monkey of
itself any longer on the gambling
question.
Why is it that members of the

can play for high stakes when the
Legislature is in session while the
poor devils back home, who may be
caught playing penny ante are
liable to be sent to the pen. -
1t is high time the state officials
took a tumble to themselves and
either enforce or repeal the present
law. 1t is a blot on the fair name
of sovereign state and it should
not be allowed to stand in it's pre-
sent form, unless it is enforc ced to

1t is doubtful whether the inter.
probation given by the late attorney
general will stand if carried to a
court of last resort. If it stands,
then by all means repeal it and en-.
act law that is founded on cop..

Let the assembly enact a law
making it a criminal offense to
wager money on any and all games
of chance and that will be better
protest from the common people.
The most serious objection urged
against the present law is that ac'
