WHY THEY COME TO TOWN.
 The theory that transients should

The theory that translents should be allowed to raise a little hell is far from uncommon. Nearly every town has been warned that if its laws are enforced 1t will drive away the transit ent trade. As long as man stays home he is expected to respect the statutes made land provided, but as soon ns he strikes strange town he Is expected to begin shifting about for illegal enterprise.--Spokane Spokes- man.

Ms GAS AGAIN BOOSTED ! Second 2 Cents Raise in New Orleans
 Within Ten HmyH s

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 1g.- The price of gasoline today was in- creased 2 cents a gallon at filling sta- tions, bringing the new rate gallon to 1Sh cents. s-
 The boost, the second within 10 days, was attributed by c. 0. Seholder, vice president of the Standard Oil Company of Louisiana, to continued increases in the price of crude oil.

give all the world if it were mine just
to see her once again."
But Michael Condor had little hope
of seeing his daughter again. She
seemed to have vanished completely
since that black night when he had
spoken so harshly to her. He had
tried hard to find her during the past
years, reducing himself to almost
actual want by depriving himself of
the money he had spent in the search
for her. Of late he had to confine
himself to an occasional advertisement
in, some paper hoping against hope
each time that she might see it. But
with each new disappointment a sense
of almost despair would take posses
sion of him.
Tired in body and mind from the
long weary day and from the fact that
he had eaten very little food since
morning, the old man dropped to sleep.
He awoke with a start some time
later. Great God! somebody was in
the room-what was this? He was
dreaming yet-cf course he was

Kathleen coming home to him like
this, at her side little girl that was
the living image of his own dead wife.
Trembling in every limb, he rubbed
his eyes with his coat sleeve and
looked again But, before he could
arrive at any decision as to whether
he was waking~or sleeping, two arms
twined themselves around him, and
Kathleen-his own loved little girl
was sobbing on his shoulder. But not
for long; the children-there were two
of them-clamored loudly to kiss
grandpa, and behind them Arthur
Brown, the man whom he might have
had for a son all these weary years,
was holding out his hand to him.

"Oh that'n be all right, marn," re-
sponded Silas cheerily.
An elemental hatred for the gobbler
had come to fill his heart. Christmas
was at hand. He pictured how, on the
morrow, he would grab the bird, he
would insult 1t with all the turkey
abuse that he had picked up from it;
then it should die slowly. as he would
like John to die.
On Christmas morning he found
letter from an unknown correspondent
in the city. Opening it, he read that
his brother John was dead.
John had left forty thousand dollars,
half of which was to go to Silas. "in
memory of our boyhood times together,
and in the hope that any Ill feeling,
if it existed. has long ago been can

little boy upon the farm; his heart
went out to him across the years.

aged to survive the crisis. But his
wife died, and he grew lonelier and
lonelier. If he had had few thou
sand dollars he would have sold out
and gone south to live, somewhere
away from this bleak New England
coast. But he could just manage to
make both ends meet. Daily he cursed
his brother in his heart.
He started raising turkeys, and that
was failure Only the gobbler lived.
He used to watch the bird with in

ing after him for crumbs. And it was
odd how it looked like John.
He began to call II John. 1t had

do when he was a boy. Gradually, to

so far as a turkey gobbler is capable
of love. Then, when Christmas came,
he was going to cut its throat very
slowly, bending It's head back to see
the terror In its eyes. He would thus
have his revenge upon his brother.
"Yes, marin, Johns thriving nicely
and putting on flesh" he told Mrs.
James. "dere he comes. John! John"

told him of the happy accident that
had led them to read his message he
called 1t a Christmas miracle.

to come with the dawn.
Down at the end of town, however,
there was one little home where an
air of gloom prevailed. There no
Christmas preparations were under
way, nor was there anything to ind1-
cate that the greatest day of the year
was close at hand. An old man sat
at dying fire in a crouching atti-
tude, his dong b0ny fingers clasped to-
gethar. There was something pathetic
about the weary droop of the bent old
body and in the quivering of his lips
as he spoke every. now and then to
himself:
"Ten years ago, tonight, she went"
he murmured; ten long weary years
without a sight of her bonny face.
