THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND. iy IUNE A L He Got a Chance Dillmere has a tender heart and an impressionable mind. Not only does he sorrow over troubles visible, but, being blessed with an imagination, he guffers over those concealed from or- dinary mortals.

When Dillmere reached home that night he found his wife waiting for him. She was pointing to the opened bundle of books much as one of a re- fined disposition mizht point at a viper or a dynamite bomb. “What on earth” she began at once, “do you mean by buying that stuff, James Dillmere? Why, if 1 caught Jimmy with a volume of crimes in his hand—" “You aren't going to," said Dillmere. “They are not for Jimmy's youthful intelligence. A mature mind can read without harm about deeds of vio- lence—" “That book agent must have been a good talker,” said Mrs. Dillmere, grimly. “You'll have to keep those books on your closet shelf or Johnny —and I don't see, anyhow, why on earth you should want to read such things when there are so many nice books: i “I'm tired of nice books,” said Dill- mere recklesly. “I've had a surfeit of recipes for tatting and prescriptions for making a china cabinet out of a packing box. My mind needs stimu- lating. Anyhow, it is a matter of edu- cation. 1 am ashamed to he ignorant of what has happened In the world.” After dinner Dillmere retired into the fastness of an easy chair with his books and promptly was lost to his family “H'm!'" coughed Mrs. Dillmere at last in desperation, 1 looked at new coats for Johnny today.” Silence, “H'm!" began she again. “Grace teleplioned that her uncle was dead. I wonder if he left anything? She's always expected that he would.” Silence. Mrs. Dillmere looked at her husband. His eyes were popping out of his head and he breathed deeply. “James,” she proceeded in a conversational voice, “the bank failed today. Your father murdered your mother. 1 fell down. stairs and broke my neck!" “Um!" answered James vacantly. Mrs. Dillmere rose and swept the book from his hands. “Why don’t you llsten to me?” she demanded. “Whew!" breathed her husband. “They were going some in the middle ages! If you didn’t llke a fellow you just put cold poison in his tea and it he wouldn't drink it you choked him till he did! Nobody seemed to mind wholesale slaughter if you had money enough to awe the populace! It must have been fierce!" That night Mrs. Dillmere woke up to find her husband pacing the floor “Somehow,” he sald, “I can't sleep. Are you sure the back basement win- dows are locked? 1 thought I heard some one on the basement stalrs a little while ago, I don't see what is to prevent a burglar from walking in at the open bedroom windows from the room. There! Did you hear that”" “It's that book you were readin declared Mrs. Dillmere. “Go to bed!™ Dillmere persisted in reading the books. Occasfonally when the hor- rors grew too great for him to bhear alone he related them to his wife after Johnny had gone to bed. “I don't see how they earned a liv- ing in those days,” Dillmere said one evening. “After every fellow got through his daily stunt of poisoning a few relatives, beheading a whole vil- lage, robbing cathedrals and burning up castles he naturally would not have much energy left for the milder pur- sults of life.” Mrs. Dilimere woke that night to find the lights turned on and Dillmers perched on a chalr endeavoring o climb the wall. “James!"” ghe shrieked. “Hush!” sald James impatient!y. “I'm escaping. If I get to the top of this wall and drop into the mos low Caesar Borgia and his m cannot find me to make me drink poison! They are burning up the !
