Dr. Woodhurst's elation had subsided | euMiclently for him to take some inter- | est In the outside world. To Mrs. Bar-| rington he announced: | ‘Most astonishing situation, Mrs. Bar-| rington—we won this fight by the nar-| row margin of one vote.” | “Isn't that thrilling, Doctor? I'm so interested in narrow margins.” The re- mark was thrown In his direction. To Bud she said: “Get ¢he number on the telephone quickly.” “Yes, lady. What ts the number?” Bud asked | “I don't know—look tn the book," she whispered. Turning to the doctor, she asked: “By | one vote, did you say, doctor?” * “Yes, by one, Mrs. Barrington, only one, and under the most pecullar ctr- | cumstances—that vote was cast by Sen- ator Reuben Glue, of Bugville City, | Onelda County.” 1 “To please his wife?” she hinted. “Oh, no. I gather from this telegram | that Senator Glue was quite ill with ptomaine olson and chilblains—tt | seems that he is very fond of canned | lobster, and he ate perhaps not wisely, | Dut too much. He had to be carried in | to cast his vote. But we won,” he finished exultantly. | Meantime, Bud either had been turn- | ing frantically the leaves of the tele- Phone book or running his finger down) ‘the pages to find the desired number. “Say, lady! Everybody's name in dis | ook begins with Smith,” he finally said An despair. “Pardon me just a moment, doctor!” ‘degged Mrs, Barrington. “Certainly!” he replied, fussing over | his telegrams and letters. | Mrs, Barrington seized the directory and looked quickly over the names. “There it 1s," she said with @ eigh of aatisfaction, “62 Hempstead. Call it up quickly- and don't mention any names, you understand?” Bud took up the recelyer, saying: “I’m on.” “And when does the new law go into effect, Doctor?” Mrs. Barrington put the question to divert the Doctor's at- tention. “Immediately, Mrs. @oon as the Governor can sign it," he replied unctuously. “Give me 62 Hempstead, and be quick!" shouted Bud to Central. The Doctor began to preach. “Too long have the iniquitous ruled. ‘The hosts of evil must be subdued lest, peradventure, We meet the fate of Sod- om and Gomorrah." “Aw, shut up!’ Bud's lusty yell into Barrington; as} the telephone almost paralyzed the Doc- tor. “Mercy!* he cried, startled and con- fused. “You musn't do that, Bud," Mrs. Barrington. “Well, is some fresh guy on the tel- chided P Sarrington, he said: * fo, lady—but you'll have to concentrate; he's got weak pipes." | Speaking into the ‘phone Mrs, Bar- | rington said: “Yes, is this Dr, Rabbit. | ‘This is Mrs, Barrington—yes, Mrs. Bar- rington.”” Lowering her yoice that the doctor might not hear her, she contin- ued: “It's all right—marry them—What! ye You can't hear me. speaking more loudly. she sald to Bud: “Make a noise so he can't hear me."

Speaking to Mrs. Barrington, Bud said: “Say, lady, I don’t know what the Doc called me, but whatever it Is, | I stands de gaff. Is there any more errands?” | “No, thank you, Bud. There's noth- | ing more to-night.” | “Then {f you don't mind I'll go down | to me shelter-camp and tumble tn de| hay. Good night, lady! Good night, | Doc!" He bowed his way to the door. Good night,” answered the Doctor, “Don't mention it!” bellowed the lad as he darted away. | ‘Would you care to read some of these telegrams, Mrs. Barrington?” The | Doctor proffered her the bundle he held in his hand. “No—why, of course’— | The ring of the telephone interrupted | her.

Then in a lower volce, after a rp the Doctor said: “You don’t say so! Thank you, thank you! Good-bye!" He hung up the receiver and turned to Mrs. Barrington, who had sunk into a chair, awaiting the explosion. “Mrs. Barrington!" he began. Again she sighed. “Nerve yourself. other shock?’ “Yes, I"r— “Ralph and Myrfle aro married,” he announced. “They are?’ She sighed with relief, outwardly cool, but inwardly alarmed and distressed. “They have eloped, but {t does not sur- Can you bear an- “Doesn't surprise yout" mured. “Not in the least.
