Miss Mabel McQuinney had said yes.
Softly and in whisper she had ut
tered the word, but Victor Spoonamore
had heard it.
And Victor was wildly, madly, de-
liriously happy.
The moon went behind a friendly
cloud for a moment.

youth embraced an opportunity and

rs proceed with the narration of the
plain, unadorned facts.
Up and down the broad south side
boulevard they strolled, needless of the
flight of time. Her little hand rested in
the hollow of his arm. Being young
man possessed of more than thimbleful
of brains he knew better than to grab
her elbow after the fashion prevalent in
Bridgeport and Kalamakosh and yank
her along the sidewalk like a frugal
husband on small salary endeavoring
to steer reluctant wife past an auction
room.
1T only remains now, Mabel" he
pleaded, for you to name the day.
Make it early, please"
Miss Mabel proceeded to temporize.
"What will your family say when
they hear of this?" she asked.
THE family will be delighted. fancy
nobody will be greatly astonished, but

Thinks.
Its an old family, isn't it?'
"We can trace our ancestry bach
hundreds of years." said the young man
proudly. "There was Spoonnemower
in Shakespeare's time. A Spoonlemure
was an officer at the court of King
George III. The Spoonamores came to
this country in 1917, and many of them
have filled positions of honor and trust
in Virginia and New England for the
last seventy-fve years. 1t was Spoona-
more that officiated at the laying of the
cornerstone of the Boston state house.
There were Spoonamores in the diplo-
matte service in President Madison's
time There were plenty of them in
both armies during the war of the re-
bellion. One was brigadier general.
A New Jersey Spoonamore designed the
house you and will live in, Mabel-a
large, stately building on Prairie ave-
nue., with seventeen rooms and all the
modern conveniences."
You have reason to be proud of your
people, Victor. Don't you hold family
reunions sometimes"
"Once in awhile"
"There must be great many of you"
Hundreds, Mabel-hundreds.
''Are there any other representatives
of the family in Chicago besides you"
she asked, after moments silence.
"None that | know Of" he answered.
THAT settles it, Victor" exclaimed
the young woman sadly, but with iron
frmness. 1--WE shall not be married

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 6.-The election yes
terday was q surprise to every body. Con-
servative Democratic estimates had placed
The majority at about $4,000, and
there were very few Democrats
who predicted that much. 1t may be
said that 10000 majority was the average
conservative estimate of tbe State. The
Peoples party. after the fusion with the
leaders Of the Republicans. counted on
carrying the State by 30. 900 majority. The
majority of the Democrats will not vary
much from 5000. the largest majority the
State has polIed in years. The negroes. gen.
orally. voted with the Democrats. Peck. the
third-party candidate for Governor. was
beaten IN his own con mtg tRockialel, by
us majority. He carried only eight out of
thirty-seven% counties. The Democrats car
ried every senatorial district except TWO,
which are doubtful. and elected the lower
house with the exception of four Republic
cans and ten third party Representatives..
The Democrats swept every ongresslonai
district. carrying Tom Watson's by 1.5ll
majority.
The election has in most places been
quiet. There was a killing in Oglethorpe
county. A negro assassinated a " hite man
and was lynched. In Ebert county there
