\s Mr. Gallup lighted Ids tin lantern
after supper and started out to buy

pound of Rio coffee for ,
to ‘ -r' a postoffiee Mrs. Cal
fa t an j call at the
fop v, as in excellent spirits and had
down and took off his shoes and
thei i. taking a elreular from his pock
ot and putting on his glasses with
grout deliberation, began to read. It
was a circular regarding a now discov
"T 1,1 f k<‘ cure of consumption, ami he
liad not yet linlxhed with tile first tes
fimonial when Mrs. Gallup sobbed four
times in succession ami faintly asked:
••Samuel Gallup, do you know that
your dyin wife Is present in the room?"
He made no reply. That testimonial
from one who had been cured after
tils coffin had liecir purchased made
him hold his breath as he read.
“Yes: she is present.” dolefully con

Mr. Gallup wasn’t. He was devour¬
the second testimonial, which gave
ease of a woman who hruf been
up by over 50 doctors, and yet
bottles furnished her with a new
of lungs.
"When that djshekjth fell. I knew

-Mr Gallup was listening to a noise
He heard something to re
him of a hen trying to crow, and
wondered if it could la' that so long
dark.
'"•f yon \raut it a day sooner, you

I'm sorry you'll bev to take that long J

there ag’in. When you git ready to
buy me a gravestun. you kin send it
up by a man. I s'pose you'll buy a
Etun of some sort, won't you?"
Mr. Gallup didn’t hear. In the fourth 1
testimonial a man declared that lie had
been snved after one whole hiug and
three-quarters of the other were gone.
and It was a sketch to thrill tbe reader
clear down to his toes.
“Of course l don't kcer about no
gravestun for myself.’’ said Mrs. Gal¬
lup as she tried to wipe away her tears
with the glass stopper of the bottle,
“but If you don’t put one up the uay
burs will call stingy. Get cheap ,
you n
one, however. If you kin git one fur
$10 and trade a lot of carpet rags In,
IM do It. I used to think 1 wanted a
whole lot of readin on my gravestun,
but I’ve changed my mind. Jest put

you needn't—say n word—about them
things. Make it—a cheap—gravestun.

And when Mr. Gallup had finished
the testimonials anil fully determined
to buy at least three bottles and hide
them In the wood slu'd he rose up.
yawned and stretched and looked
around to find Mrs. Gallup asleep and
the camphor wasted on the floor.
