Presently a shadow darkened th■

halted uucettalnly and gazed curiousl.
within. The old merchant rose coin

'■ xtended a silent invitation to enter
Seeing that the stranger still hasi

eagerness: ' Would (lie gentlemat
care to step in? It is not necessar;
to buy.”
An air of distinction in the old man':

“ ^re von a fortune-teller?" asket
the stranger, eagerly.
“Not in the ordinary sense, my son,’
answered the aged merchant, solemn
ly, “but much of the wisdom of tht
cast is mine, and I have known tht
hearts of many men.”
“If you help me," burst impulsively
from the other’s lips, “you may narm
your own price.”
I am listening, my son," answerec
Shaman, with dignity, apparently tin
moved by these glittering promises.
“My name is Philip Arden.” begat
the young man in quick, excited tones
"and I am what people call rich. I

Instinct is strong within me. At times
I am consumed with a perfect fevei
to excel at games involving chance and
skill."
"Why do you tell this to me?” de
manded the old man.
"You shall see," answered Arden
meeting his glance fairly. "Being
wealthy, the gambler’s love of gain
does not appeal (o me. Instead, I have
devoted myself to gain's of skid, pla\

upon billiards, to which I have devoted
myself, heart and soul, for two years
"No lover could be more devoted u
his mistress than 1 to my favorite
game. 1 wooed her early and late
playing my way up through the ranks
of the club, until last spring I defeated
the strongest men and was hailed club
champion. But alas! my joy was
short lived.”
“Your hand lost its cunning?" sug
gested Shaman Tuloc.
“No, not so. A more subtle hand
than mine entered the lists." explained
Arden with a touch of bitterness in
his tone. "While my laurels were yet
fresh, a stranger joined the club, a
tall, slender man, with sallow skin and
coal-black hair, which |»rted over a
narrow, contracted forehead Enough

I will give you what you like.”
Shaman Tuloc smoked awhile in si
lence, then rose from his scat and
drew a small casket from a secret re
cess in the rear of the shop. The
box was of fragrant sandalwood
wrapped with cords and sealed ir
many places. Carefully removing
these, he disclosed a small bundle o:
numerous layers of fine silk, conceal
lng some object within. Very reverent
ly the old man unwrapped the silkei
folds until them lay uncovered it
his palm a small cylinder of ivory o
wondrous quality, and without spot o
blemish.
“My son, you behold a portion of tin
of the sacred elephant of Siam
the most sacred of the holy hetd. He
went into the silence at the age of 2h0
i years, and this relic possesses a
: mighty power. Listen to the words
, on the scroll. I will interpret." As
I Shaman Tuloc spoke he lifted from
| the casket an oriental scroll and rev
I erently held it towards the light.
"To the pure and single of heart,"
he read in a low voice, "1 will grant
his wish."
"1 will give any price, fulfill any con
ditions," exclaimed Arden, in a cho
king voice, his whole form trembling.
"Look! What do you see?” the old
man suddenly demanded, holding the
ivory above his head.
"Only the ivory, nothing more," the
young man answered.
"Look again!" cried Shaman Tuloc,
eagerly. "Ixiok at the center! What
do you see now?"
"I see a delicate pink light shining
through the ivory,” answered Arden,
excitedly. "It seems to move and
tremble, like a rose swaying in the
breeze."
"It is the soul of the sacred tusks!”
cried Tuloc, triumphantly, "the spirit,
the life. Therein lies the power.”
"What am I to do? Tell me!” de
manded the young man.
"Hring from your club the finest ball
you have. My hands shall fashion its
mate in size and appearance from the
sacred tusk. I will entrust 1 lie task to
no other. In a week's time you shall
have a ball, endowed with the living
spirit of victory.”
I hat same evening Arden brought

seif-imposed task. As ho wrought liis
labor of love, patiently, silently, with
reverential skill, the slender, graceful
form of his only daughter glided often
through the parted curtains and hung
on her father's shoulder with moist
eyes and heaving bosom. More than
once a rosy blush suffused her modest
cheek as she recalled the young
stranger’s face and trembling voice.
Then she murmured a silent prayer
for her father's task and for the young
man's victory.
On the eighth day the bail was fin
ished, and to the instructed eye
seem to throb visibly with sentient
life, as it lay, white and glistening, in
the sandal casket.
fake it, my son,” said Shaman
Tuloc, committing the box to him.
Let no other hand than thine use this
sacred ball. Let no other interest di
vide your heart. Then victory will
attend.”
The report that Arden was to play
Ids conqueror again filled the club
house. An undefinable feeling was in
the air that this game would possess
unusual features—that it was a strife
for mastery to an unusual degree.
To the surprise of his ferret-eyed op
ponent, Arden, playing with the
sacred ball, won the bank. The balls
were spotted and the game began. The
style of play was 14-inch halt line, one
shot in. Without effort, by graceful,
easy play, Arden rolled off run after
run. ills hall was absolutely under
control, and the audience was with
him to a man. following his game with
freqimnt applause. But. do what he
would, Arden could not shake oil his
opponent. He answered run with run.
and invariably finished a point or two
iu the lead.
Arden, however, never lost confi
dence for a moment in his hall or the
outcome of the game. As the player
approached the goal, the 300 mark,
almost. nhrf*nRt hut tho .
still in the lead, the excitement grew
intense. With only eight to go, the
latter ran six and missed on his 299th
shot. A hateful scowl showed on his
face, hut changed instantly to a tri
umphant smile, as he saw that Arden,
" ho stood at 295, was left an iuipc s
sible shot.
Arden's ball lay tight against the
cushions in one corner, the red ball
in the same position in the far come:
on the other side, and his opponent's
bail against the cushion along the rail
half-way between the other two balls
It, indeed, looked to be an impos
sihlo shot, but Arden, with unruffled
confidence, played a masse, whose like
had never been seen on that or any
other table. His ball, with a beauti
ful curve, spun to the ball half way
down the rail, continued its jouruov in
the same marvelously accurate fash
ion to the red hall, and counted, ot
course. The house fairly thundered
its applause. The result of the shot
was to leave the three balls lined up
along the center or the table. A sec
ond brilliant masse counted 297, and
the remaining three shots were clicked
off in rapid succession.
As Arden made the last shot, which
meant victory for him, he felt his eyes
| drawn irresistibly across the table to
■ the tier of seats opposite. His gaze
rested on a pair of eyes shining witli
a radiancy lie had never seen before.
As he felt himself yielding to theii
power and started toward them, a
strange thing happened. With a sud
den click the wonderful ball, with
which he had played and won, snapped
asunder and parted into two pieces
As it fell apart Arden saw an appear

Better Not Get
Dyspepsia
If you can help it. Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by
effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion.
But don’t trifle with Indigestion.
A great many people who liavo
trifled with indigestion, have been
sorry for it—when nervous or
chronic dyspepsia resulted, and
they have not Icon able to cure it.
ITse Kodcl and prevent having
Dyspepsia.
Everyone is subject to indiges
tion. Stomach derangement follows
stomach abuse, just as naturally
and just as surely as a sound and
healthy stomach results upon the
taking of Kodol.
When you experience sourness
of stomach, belching of gas and
nauseating fluid, bloated sensation,
gnawing pain in the pit of the
stomach, heart, burn (so-called),
diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or
chronic tired feeling—you need Ko
dol. And then the quicker you take
Kodol—the better. Eat what yon
want, let Kodol digest it. |
Ordinary pepsin “dyspepsia tab
lets,” physics, etc., are not likely
to he of much benefit, to you, in
digestive ailments. Pepsin is only
a partial digester—and physics are
not digesters at all.
Kodol is a perfect digester. If
'you could see Kodoldigesting every
particle of food, of all kinds, in tho
class test-tubes in our laboratories,
you would know this just as well
as we do.
Nature and Kodol will always
cure a sick stomach—but In order
to be cured, the stomach must rest.
That is what Kodol does—rests the
stomach, while the stomach preta
well. Just as simple as A, U, C.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOR STATE SENATOR.
To the voters of the Sixth Senator
ial District:
I am a candidate for the State Sen
ate, subject to the action of the next
Democratic primary. I made the race
four years ago against two good run

paign, and, to say the least of it, I
made a good race. T was quite a boy
then and merely running to get ac
quainted. but, gentlemen, I am now
fully grown, and am going to make
this race in dead earnest to be elected.
I would appreciate it very much if the
men who voted for Hinkle and Edmon
son before would join hands and come
over with my friends and rfiake it
unanimous. I do not expect to devote
my entire time to the campaign until
Jan. 1, and I trust each voter will
take this as a personal appeal for his
support. Yours for success.

The Value
of the
Telephone
* A Telephone in the house
is a servant of great value
and is available for many
purposes.
* It may be used to summon
help in emergencies; to call
the doctor in case of sudden
illness, and thus perhaps save
a priceless life; to call the
neighbors in case of fire, vio
Ilence or accident.
• Without the Telephone in
such cases, precious time is
lost in getting the needed
help.
• We have installed a new
Switch Board and overhauled
everything, and can give you
good service.
