Main st. -1 DENTISTS. -------------TTTTta BY KENNETT HARSIS. Toddv Scoffield had one consoling He had several, for that matter, for he was always disposed to look on the hright side of things. But one thought often occurred to him and gave his spirits an uplift when they did have a sinking tendency that there were bright chances of success in life for Todd, for Willie, Jim, Eudora, Emmeline and little Fred.

They were all bright children exceptionally bright, if Todd did say it himself. Todd- might have settled into pretty much of a rut and, to tell the truth, he hadn't much hope of ever getting out of it, but there was no rea son in the world wThy the boys should not make their mark. As for the girls, they were-pretty as pictures, and mighty good girls at that. Todd didn't want them to make any brilliant alr liances with wealthy and titled foreigners. The duke or baron who got Eudora or Emmeline either would" have to show a cleaner record than most of them could, according to the best of Todd's information.

No, a straight, square, prosperous American would be good enough for them. "Well, there's plenty, of time to think about that, my dear," said Mrs. Scoffield. "Are you going to manage to get Willie's shoes this week? The poor boy's feet are nearly on the ground." He roused himself with a sigh and said he supposed he'd have to manage. Todd started out for the office, wherein was his rut, with a bulge in each side of his threadbare overcoat bread and butter and ccjd fried ham on one side, an apple on the other.

He had intended for some time to get a neat little leather bag to carry his lunch in, but somehow he never seemed to quite get around to it. Of course, he didn't pretend to much style, but now and then he thought: "Suppose meet somebody I used to know." He didn't think that on this occasion, but he met the somebody just outside the railway station. It was Dave Cotier Dave grown stout and mere florid than ever Dave expensively attired and in the act of paying a cabman from a fat pocket-book. Todd just caught his eye and about to pass on, but Dave reached out a big red hand decorated with thick rings and caught him by the arm. "Todd Scoffield, you old pirate," he growled out in his rumbling bass, "what the devil do you mean by giving me the glassy stare? Give an account of yourself." "I I didn't think you knew me, Dare," said Todd.

"But, of course, I'm glad to see you." "You look it," said the big man, hot releasing his grasp. "You ain't sore on me, are j-ou, Todd?" "Why, no," said Todd. "Because when yon struck me say, how long was that ago? Well, I was up against it, honest and then, well, I forget it. I'll pay you right now. I Ought to pay interest, too, and I will if you'll let me." "No," said Todd, decidedly.

"You can pay me if you like, but I don't want any interest." The pocketbook was still in Cotier's hand and he whipped out a bill and stuffed it into Todd's waistcoat Then he" picked up his suitcase and again clutched his friend's arm. "Come along with me," he said. "I've only got two minutes to catch my train. Great Scott! How gray you're getting! Where do you live? I've got to look you up. Todd," he continued, as he hurried along, "I'll give you a tip.

You take that $50 and buy Mexican Rubbers. Billy Pollard, Max Heim and me are in it up to the ears and we'll boost her up to par inside of 30 days. I'm on riiy way down there now. They're giving the stock away now and we're gathering it in quietly. You watch it move, but get a bunch first.

You do that and we'll be square. But this is on the dead, mind. Here, I've got to skip lively. So long! I'll look you up." He made a dash for the gate, almost overturning the man who was closing it, and swung himself aboard a moving train, leaving Todd staring after him in bewilderment. "Who ever would have thought that!" said Todd.

Then he looked at the station clock. "Heavens! It's 25 past now!" he exclaimed and turned to go, but as he went he' extracted the crumpled bill from his waistcoat pocket and looked at it. It was $50, sure enough. Fifty dollars! Fifty dollars all in one lump and with no claims on it. Should he buy Mexican Rubbers? If Dave was" in with Pollard and Heim it certainly looked well.

Speculation was uncertain, but Dave must have known what he was talking about, and it might mean hundreds. He looked in the paper to see at- what figure the stock was quoted. It wasn't quoted. Should he tell the wife? He didn't. The next day he went to a broker's ofilce and bougnt Mexican Rubbers a bale of it.

The broker looked at him curiously. Ten anxious days later the stock took the first little step of its phenomenal advance. After it had gone almost to par and then had declined to almost nothing Todd sold out. The next-day Todd stood looking at the display in a haberdasher's shop window. He went in and asked the clerk to show "him some collar buttons.

"You're quite sure they wont tarnish?" he asked the derk. "We" guarantee them for ten years," answered the much?" "Thirty-five cents, cr three for a dollar." Til take three," said Todd, laying down a As he went cut of the store he smiled quite "I've seme collar buttons out of it, any-way," he remarked.

Nor can there be any doubt as to the fine flavor which a rabbit, fed on the spring verdure of Texas imparts to'- Texas' -unrivaled black bass. The Potomac black bass have some local reputation in 'the vicinity of Washington, but they feed for the most part on small frogs and' June bugs and do not grow to heroic proportions like the bass of more ample Texas.
