CHAPTER RI
BREYMOUTH THEATER.


COULD not get Mr.. Noah Nash out
L of my head all day. 1t was quite
stirring incident in my life at Brey-
mouth, which had been very dull and
monotonous till then. He was on my
mind, and not to be shaken off. 1t
seemed so strange that he should re-
member me as the young surgeon of
ThistleWOod street-stranger still
that | should have been called, in a
case of emergency, into this mans
house.
AS [ sat before the fire the whole
facts came back by degrees, though
the scene was misty and the charac-
tiers, all but one, mere shadows, the
shadow Of Mr.. Noah Nash-a pale,
nervous, confused man, whom L
should never have identified with the
leading comedian of the Prince Thea
ter, Breymouth-the most indistinct.
There was a second shadow,
gawky, ill-clad girl with large black
eyes, standing in the background,
biting nervOusly at the corner OF an
apron-a girl who never spoke; that
must have been Della. And the pa
tient-she who had been brought
home-a young woman, very dark,
very handsome, very wild and hys-
terical, prone to delirium in her pas
sionate outbursts at her own ill-for-
tune, not to be pacified or controlled
in her grief and despair and passion
while I was with her-she was no
shadow now. / could see her just as
wildly as on that cold, cherries
January night-again | saw the
blood leave the face and the lips
grow gray, and the eyes look at me
as at the judge who had condemned
her, when I urged them all to take
her to the hospital, without further
delay. How it all came back that
afterp oon-how strange it was!-
I seemed to be having my share in
this family's disaster once again!
l must have dropped off to sleep
thinking of these Washes, and be-
come the victim of disturbed dream
In consequence, in which the ridicu-
lous became mixed up with the SEN
Sational, and my little house In This
tlewood street, my dead mother, and
nv live housekeeper-dear old Men
nv, who thought so much of me to
the end of her life-became more
real than the Breymouth life about
me. and yet were mixed with it in a
strange, homogeneous fashion, patent
to the dreams of folk who go to sleep
In easy chairs srith their heads hang
Rg upside down over the arms.
If attempted to account for what
followed my waking-with a jump
and groan and a sensation OF hav-
ing been stabbed with sharp knife
at the back of my neck-only cr1ck
that, I dare say few scsptical
friends would laugh at me. I could
only account for 1t by one Of my odd
theories which I have family al
luded In an earlier page-and this is
not the time and place to ventilate
them.
I woke UP that afternoon with no
more out-of-the-way intention than
that of going to the Princes Theater
at Breymouth that evening" fixed

thing to do is to take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the blood. That is
all there is to the treatment for
sciatica. These pills build up and
cleanse the blood as no other medi-
cine does. This pure healthy blood
carries nourishment to the in
famed, over sensitive, starved ner-
yes and it isn't long before you

erly nourished. Best of all the
pains don't return for the pills rid
the blood of all it's impurities.

Pills is not confined to sciatica and
neuralgia. They are equally effec-
tive in the treatment of nervous
prostration, nervous indigestion,
nervous headaches, insomnia, St.
Vitus' dance and nervousness.
Impure blood is the common cause
of all these nervous troubles.

Washington, D. c., January 1.-THE temperance
forces in the Senate yesterday outwtted the blind pig
defenders of that body with the result that the Kenyon

January This is the prohibiting the inter-
state shipment of intoxicating liquors when they

in any way liquor intended for lawful purposes The

debate thereon was concluded at the time and it

the bill would ask unanimous consent for its consider

interests would object and thus defeat consideration.

A few minutes later Senator Smoot
one of the liberal group that had
undertaken the task of blocking a
vote as long as possible and who was
on guard today, discovering what
had happened made vigorous pro-
test.
He contended that unanimous
consent really had not been given,
because had he heard the motion he
surely would have objected.
An acrimonious debate began,
which was suspended at I o'clock
by the resumption of the Archibald
impeachment case.
Later in the day, the matter came
up again but Senator Gallinger adj
hered to his decision and Senator
Gronna secured the floor and held it
until adjournment, thus defeating
the blind pig cohorts. Senator
Smoot is full of wrath because he
fell down in his efforts to protect
the blind pig interests.
Today, the fight was renewed in
the Senate, Senator Smoot protest
ing vigorously. Finally conpro-
mise was made in which the order
to fix the date at January 20 was re-
considered, the vote being 40 to II.
Thereupon Senator Gallinger inme-
diately asked unanimous consent for
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1913-01-17

a vote on February to which objection made
and the vote will accordingly be taken that date.
1t is Senator Shoots theory that by succeeding
in getting the date postponed until then that he may
be able to fight the thing off until after adjournment
Of Congress, and thus save the blind pigs.
The pressure of the various liquor organizations
on Congressman is simply enormous. The blind pig
interests moving heaven and earth to avert this
calamity to their business.

temperance allies, urges all friends rush in letters
