The contestants weree give a term of years in which to perform the most diabolical deed each could de vise, 6btain authenticated proof of its actual perfomance and to pre sent all evidence at a public meet ing held for that purpose. Under his seal the Devil obligated himself to reward the one winning the con test by making that one his Deputy, give him power to reign with absolute authority during the Devil’s indispo sition or absence on vacation and to present him with' a scepter second only in fearfuUness to that of the De vil himself At the appointed time the cohorts of Hell assembled in solemn con clave and each one in the-audience was in breathless expectation to learn what the Devil (who liad an nounced previously that he was to be the sole judge in the contest) would consider the most diabolical deed. Arme<} with documentary evidence in some instances filling to over flowing a lawyer’s brief case, each contestant assembled on the . plat form and a smile of self-satisfaction overspread the countenance of the ■one who, at the call of the Archdc- mon, walked to a position in front of the Throne and recited his evil valor and misdeeds. Without going into details of what was a most sordid recital of murder, rapine, crookcd dealing, shame, degredation, dishonor and crime, it will suffice to tell of the last to present himself for the coveted honor. When the name of “Old Trusted Subscriber” was called by the Arch demon a somewhat unfamilar figure stepped to the front of the stage and, saluting his Majesty, began his re cital. There was little about his ap pearance to justify an onlooker in supposing that he belonged in that motely gang of evildoers, nor did ho carry much evidence of his wrong doing. In fact, with the exception of a few letters and cards which he held conspiciously, one could not discern that he was a candidate for the honor offered by the Devil. Given permission to speak, Old Trusted Subscriber related that he had subscribed for the local news paper a number of years ago. “At first,” said he, “I paid in advance each year. Then I found out that the Editor was a pleasant sort of per son, trustful and hardworking, and not disposed to press those who were indebted to him; so I began to let my subscription lapse. Every row and agr.in there appeared a no tice in the paper to pay up, with a mild threat that back accounts woulj be placed in the hands of a lawyer for collection. As a sort of sop I went to the office and paid for a year on my indebtedness, but never paid up in full, not to mention payng in advance. Then I made inquiry and found that those lyho did not ‘scarc’ at the threat to take legal action were not molested or troubled, so I decided I need not settle, either. “In the meantime, I got all the per sonal mention and publicity I want ed. When.ever we gave a party or had friends visiting at our house the Editor ahvays published a note of it. Whenever death came into the family or one of my children got married, I always wrote out a long account in which I praised myself as being a representative citizen of the commun ity and the Editor always published it in full. Whenever one of my boys or girls went off to school the Editor mentioned it; when they got high marks or won distinction the Editor printed an account of it and I figure that I got twice the value of the EubEcription price each year; but, year by year, I got further and further behind with my payments. “Then I moved away from town, but as I wanted to know of the doings in my old town, and knowing full well that the home paper would .chronicle all of these doings, as well as publish anything I might send in from my new home so that my friends might hear from me without the trouble of writing to them, I or dered the paper sent to my new ad dress. The Editor *fell’ for this im position and even wrote out, without any suggestion from me, a eulogistic item about my value to the commun ity and the loss the community would feel at my going. But this did not induce me to pay up before leav ing. - my paper five years in arrears- I recieved a bill from the Editor but paid no attention to it.
