The Blac'ssmith's
Revenge
Took a Fair Advantage of
His Enemy When the
Chan e CT e.ei.
By FRANK H.. MEL0ON
Copyright by Frank II. Meloon.

1t was at the fall elections that the
feud began in Pottersville. John Grant,
the village blacksmith. a big, rawboned
fellow of enormous muscle, whose fam
lily had hailed from Nova Scotia, had
dared to oppose Judge Weaver, can
didate for the legislature. From the
judges point of view the worst feature
of this presumptuous antagonism was
its success. Judge Weaver had been
defeated by the narrow margin of one
vote, and bitterness was ever there
after to rankle in his heart.
Another source of veXation for the
judge was the attachment which he
could not fail to see existed between
his daughter Nellie, a girl of pretty
face, medium height, plump person and
many s~uitors, on the one hand and
Willis Wenham, son of the first select
man, who was a student at one of the
big eastern universities.
Selectman Wenham was another of
Judge Viewers political opponents;
but, though the judge never forgave
n who crossed his will. this was not
the reason for his opposing the match
between his daughter Nellie and the
selectman's son Willis. The Judge was
a man of means. while Selectman Wen
ham, though possessed of a moderate
competency, could leave but a small
sum at his demise to each of his II u
merous family, of which Willis com
posed exactly one-thirteenth.
With young Wenham absent at col
lege, the judge was able to give his
undivided attention to the village
blacksmith. He was willing TO bide
his time, for he knew John Grant to
be one of those men who with unfail-
ing regularity get themselves into a
terrible state of in%toXication just once
every twelve months. For a full week
it was the blacksmith's custom to
wrestle with John ~Barleycorn, quite
willing to be overcome.
The only article in the warrant for
the last town meeting over which
there had not been more or less on
test was that which called for the
erection of a town lookup. 1t vas gen
| orally conceded that Pottersville had
reached that stage in q towns progress
where a Jail is demanded for the pres
| eryation of peace and order. An out
slider might have objected that there
had been no arrest made in the little
village excepting of boys Oh t~ruancy
charges since the converting of the last
town meeting, but this would have
been regarded as a M~achiavellian at
tempt at impeding the wheels of prog
ress. SO the new structure had risen
triumphantly, with not so much as a
hint of graft, under the supervision of
the selectmen, and, although the sug
gestion of building had come from the
mouth of Judge Weaver, none sang the
praise of conception and execution
more loudly than the village black
smith.
1t was at the fall elections, as we
have said, that the feud started be

tween John Grant and Judge Weaver.
1t was not until the approach of the
following spring that the latter found
the sought for chance to "get back" at
the smith. One morning in early Feb
ruary the blacksmith failed to show up
at his place of business. A line of six
or more impatient transfers set out
to look up the reason. AT Henry
Comes hosiery, known as the Come
Inn. they found it.
John Grant refused to do the work
the teamsters desired of him, but gen,
erously offered to fight them, either
one at a time or all together. His
tender was ~cOurteously refused.
This time, however, John Grant was
not to enjoy his parting from the path
of sobriety without paying the penalty
therefor as provided and laid down in
the statutes of the state. Judge Weav-
err forced the unwilling ccnstables, aft
err considerable goading, to action. The
blacksmith, snoring in slumber, was
dragged out of the woods and cast into
the new lookup. On the following
morning he had sobered up sufficiently
to appear before the court, which III
Pottersville meant Judge Weaver.
Two of the constables swore to hav-

While oily hair is not at all beauti-
full, it Is usually much healthier and
thicker than dry, harsh hair. If your
glory crown has started in to be dry
and wispy, 1t would be a wise move to
take it in hand right away and call for
an immediate reform. Twenty-four
hours before the shampoo rub pure
olive oil into the scalp. You can have
no idea how much help this will give,
and what lovely fluffy gloss it will i'm

NEW HANGER FOR SWEATERS
Special Holder, Made From Embroid-
cry Ring, Will Preserve Shape
of Garments.

Have you ever hung your pet sweat
er away on a coat hanger for a cou-
pie of days? If you have, you have
probably found it stretched most dis
t%ressingly when you took it down
again. So then, have you hung it,
ever so carefully, up on a hook?
Yes? Then, of course, you have
found a most annoying little bump in
the wool where 1t hung.
So then, perhaps, you have decided
to keep your sweaters in a bureau
drawer-and you have caught them on
the edge of the drawer and pulled a
thread.
Well, here is a suggestion to make
the keeping of your sweaters truly
easy. Have a special sweater holder.
This special holder is no more than
a huge embroidery ring, of the sort
mat is used for the handles and tops
of knitting bags. Attach a ribbon or
tape to the ring at each end, and by
means of this ribbon hang it on a hook.
Then pull the sweater through the
ring. Several may be placed on the
same ring without any trouble.
The ring, to be best fitted for its
work, should be wound with satin rib
bon. The quality need not be ex-
pensive, but the shiny surface Of the
satin ribbon makes it easier to pull
the sweaters through the ring and
there is no possibility of tearing by
splinters from the surface of the wood
when it is covered in this way.
