coarse bed and placed her soft, cool
hand on Tiny's fevered brow. At first
in vain she tried to'quiet the child, but
by degrees the little girl became calm,
and late in the afternoon sank back on
her pillow in deep and restful> sleep.

he gazed upon her with deep, sympa-
thetic eyes. 81 knew you wouldn It fail
US when Mrs. Higgins sent for you.
God bless you, little woman" The doc
tor took both her hands in his and held
them tight.
Then again the troublesome words,
"Only a gutter child" flashed across
her mind, aud in answer the thought
came, "This is a man, and all at
once, as beacon light from the dark
ness, she knew her own heart.
Turning away 50 as to hide her real
feelings, she murmured, ''And Tiny will
get well?''
"She surely will;'' the doctor an.
swered, coming close to her. "And now
as you were SO successful with one
patient, can you give your attention to
another case9n

surprise. "Arline, why did YOU invite

lionaire patients put together. I wager
this hurry call was only to some little
gutter creature.' ...a
Airline drew long breath but said
nothing.
The jolly crowd was soon seated
about the beautifully decorated Christ
mas table. Fun rolled merrily on, but
somehow for Airline there was a little
rift in the lutte and the words, "Onlv a
little gutter creature" kept flashing
across her mind.

her that they would take care of them

manned silent. AS she went for her hat

Airline had promised to give Dudlee5y
Grant her answer on Christmas day,
and although she had had two months
to weigh this vital subject she had not
yet come to decision. Dudley was
considered by all the first families as
the most eligible of Arline's circle. He
was clean, good looking, prosperous,
healthy young man of fine family. If
airline had told any of her friends that
she hesitated accepting this paragon
they would have raised their hands in
horror and cried, '"What moro does she
want7"
She herself didn't know. That was
the trouble. When he was not near she
felt she loved him; but when he was
with her often she became dissatisfied.
Deep in her heart was little uncer-
tainty. ".'.A..

ual conscription for the Lima jurist,
but subsequent examination proves
that the editor who resides by the
placid Auglagze was not authorized
by Richie to start boom.
Darke county was on the defen-
sive rather than on the offensive. All
she asked the congressional aspirants
to do-and they all courted Darke,
which is always difficult to judge and
often productive of surpTise-was to
stay out of the county fights. 1t ap-
pears that the leaders want to force
all congressional candidates to re-
frain from slate-making, even if they
must club their adherents or shut off
the expense money, if necessary. This
is reported to be an effort to settle a
committee dispute.
In the district caucus for the Sc
lection of committeeman for the con-
yention, harmony was the prevailing
characteristic. This may in part be
due to the fact that there is little
worth worrying about in the state
convention of today, or it might be
traced to the fact that the delega-
tions were anxious to get out of the
Virginia ball room to the more lively
Neil. But the smooth and affable
manner in which state central com
mitteeman Lee, who presided, slipped
around and asked each county chair
man what he wanted, was the CHIEF
reason for the absence of discord.
e. A. Macbeth was seated in the
secretary's chair and the organiza-
tion made permanent. F. NJ. Wilder
muth, of Shelby, was awarded the
Office of vice president-every dis
