led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;

Il began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks | could walk mile, and in

Since that time have felt as well and

in your case that after / got home
last evening looked up the reference
on the point in dispute. You were
right and the judge is wrong. l have
taken the liberty of bringing you a
memorandum of the authorities" and
she handed Ransom several folded
sheets of paper closely written over.
An hour later when the case was
reviewed and Ransom cited his au-
thorities, the opposing counsel looked
fiustered and the Judge positively
angry. The latter was more censorious
and unfair after that than ever, how
ever. Finally the attorney for the de-
Tense introduced an UNEXPECTED wit
ness. He swore to investigating GER
tain points in the case, decidedly ad-
verse to Ransom's client. From the
start Ransom discerned that the man
was a base perjurer.
He was unable to oppose any con-
Trajectory testimony. The odds of
knavery and faIsehood were too many
for him, he realized. From that mo-
ment Ransom was sure that the case
was lost.
He looked surprised as a bailiff
came from beyond the railing and
handed him a folded note Involun-
tarily he glanced up at the two young
ladies in the gallery. From there
his sister smiled and Miss Adams
seemed to bow encouragingly. Ran.
som knew that the note must be from
the latter. He opened it, to read the
puzzling sentence:
ASK the witness if he was an in
vestigator five years since in the
Evans bribery case. Then tell him
that is all. Then say to the Judge
that you intend to recall the witness
in the sur-rebuttal testimony"
When the opposing attorney had
completed his questioning, Ransom
arose to his feet.
Your honor" he spoke not sure OF
his ground but resolving to obey this
new friend of his extremity. Il wish
to ask the witness only one question,
We're you an investigator in the
Evans bribery case?"
The witness gave great start. His
face paled. He grasped the arms of
his chair in which he sat to steady
himself.
Yes" he choked out, like one un.
der some fearful spell of terror.
l.
ly. your honor I wish to announce
that I will recall this witness in the
sur-rebuttal testimony
"The judge is ill., cried bailiff
and rushed to the side of the jurist,
who had turned deathly pale. had
tainted suddenly on the bench.
The court was adjourned in some
confusion. The next morning the
Judge, looking az though he had
passed a night OF intense suffering, an,
nounced that the DEFENSE had decided
to withdraw from the case and judg'
ment was given for the plaintiff, and
the latter and his gifted young attor
ney were rich men!
1t was only when he had become
acquainted with Miss Adams that the
latter explained the mystery of heI
! fortuitous hint.
"It must never come out" she said
for it is a secret, but l recalled q
case where my father had told me
Judge Allison had accepted a large
bride. Your allusion to it caused
him to fear that the truth would come
out. For once at least he was obliged
to decide case fairly"
And, when they had become still
better acquainted, Ransom BAIRD
asked Honoria Adams the sweetest
query human lips can frame: "Wil
you become my wife," She did mo-
say Nay"

COUGHED
Up Tip From Gas Burner
Swallowed Nine Years Ago

In a coughing spell Wednesday
morning, Margaret Webb, 14-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. o. Fl. p.
Webb of Walnut street, expelled a
gas burner tip which she swallowed
nine years ago when an infant of five
years.
The tip presumably found lodging
place in her wind-pipe or throat and
has remained there this long time.
Margaret has been troubled recently
with severe attacks of coughing. Sew
eral days ago, her mother summoned
DIR. S. E. Deeley and asked if it were
possible that the tip swallowed years
ago was the cause. The physician in
formed her that such might be the
case, and on Thursday morning the
girl coughed up the fixture.

Nearly Half Went To Eighth
Cong. District
And Some Friends Get More
Than One Job

Columbus, o., March Sin whin-
ing, placative appeal put out in be-
half of Governor Willis by his pub
licly supported, private press bureau,
it is pleaded that he had only 600
places to bestow on patronage seek
ers. Even SO! Why did nearly half
of them go to the Eighth congression-
al district? And why did Newton M.
Miller get two jobs, one at $4,000 a
year, and the other, just created for
him, at $2,400? Why is it that Pro-
fessor James M. Carr, the governors
presidential manager, was allowed to
name his own son as deputy oil in
spector at Cleveland at $1,000, the
said son being a college student in
that city? And why is 1t that Carr,
who is state oil inspector, is also al
lowed to serve as school examiner in
Summit county at $40 per day while
employed? The answer is easy. The
Governor is financing his political
machine out of the state treasury and
robbing his party workers Of their
share of the loot through one and
the same operation.
