But mam? ma saw them. Now MIK lambert wassomewhat out of temper that day, S for Mr. Lambert, while fuddled, with : beer at the saloon had Just made a peculiarly unfortunate bargain, fie bad traded his cow, one main support of^s family, for a washing machine which some smooth tongued guzzler assured him would do their washing before breakfast-meaning, of course, if -theyV commenced early enough! Hrs. Lambert was kneading bread and brooding over this matter when sb?^netlthe two children, just tarn inf&toto the?*lreet~ fpZmkyf?l"! shecried, "James Hen? ry! /Jhyy-on bear me?

Each side bad computed. its 1 forces, and was seeing their last man was brought ?nT ""The Targe room was full of men looking on, passing tickets, keeping tally of the voters, or discussing the situation in loud tones. Jimmie, still holding Mamie's hand timidly twitch? ed a man's coat, and looked up in his face. - j "I want to vole for mv pa," he said. "You are too small, my lit'1^ man, lo-" " i '"Who is it?" cried a second. '.Sam Lambert's children," respon? ded some one. . "Lobbying for a new candidate!" "Give him a vote!" "Give the boy a chance!" / So ran the exclamations around the . room. ''Give us a speech," said a brawny gunsmith. "What office does your pav??nt?" And so saying he stood the children side by side upon the judges' table. All were hushed for a moment, in expectation of something to cause fresh merriment. Some who had just come in stood with their ballots in their hands, enjoyiug the diversion with the rest .Poor little things!' said one in a sympathizing whisper, as if to sug? gest that the play had gone far enough. Jimmie's lips trembled, but - be managed to say: 'I want to vote for my pa.' .Shimmie's doin' to ?>te for our pa/ repeated Mamie, in a prompt, clear voice, 'so 'e won't do to s'loon!' The merriment wa? over. An al? most painful awe crept over that as? sembly of men, as if in the voice of helpless childhood they had heard the voice of God. .'.Won't none of yez help these ba? bies?* cried an Irishman. 'Sure, and I've a mind to help 'em meself.' 'Give them some tickets!' shouted a voice, lt was a happy thought, and no sooner said than done. 'I'll count for yez, me little man/ continued the Irishman, and he took a ballot from Jimmie's hand, folded and voted it. Then what a wild hur? rah went up from that crowd! An officer rapped for order. 'The- boy has voted; now, who'll vote for the little gir!^ cried the gun? smith. 'That's me!' 'I'm another!' 'I'm your man, little one!' And taree hands were outstretched for fe??lote, ?raw?ng them from Mamie's ! --closed fist. Another cheer went up! 'Yon must remove the children, j gentlemen, anti stand back a little, * ? commanded one of the judgete, rising.
