bers are concerned. There were three

Budd carried the caucus over both
competitors.
At 2:15 Squire Baldwin raped for
order. stated the object of the meeting,
and asked its pleasure. Martin Os-

ton and w. ID. Garner were appointed.

caucus. }. T. Bennett moved that
the caucus express its choice for reg-
lister of deeds with the understanding
that the candidate who received the
most votes be permitted to name his
delegates. Geo. w. Ryland moved to
amend so the one receiving majority
of the votes cast should name the
delegates. Geo. w. Ry land and Jos.
Book supported the amendment, Ry-
land claiming that republican doctrine
required that majorities should rule
and Book that the motion would be
unfair unless one should get more
than both the others. Geo. b. Carter,
X. b. Showalter and j. +. Lane OPP
posed the resolution. Carter cited
the fact that in elections pluralities
control; X. b. Showalter maintained
that if a majority of the convention
voted for Benefits motion, then what
ever that motion provided for would
have the approval of the majority and
would be, in fact, majority rule j.
+. Lane said that precedent was against
Ryland's amendment and thee the men
who were urging that amendment had
worked for the exact opposite in
former caucus.
Ryland's amendment was lost and
Benefits motion carried.
Geo. b. Carter offered the resolution
that every man who votes in the eau
Gus pledges his word Of honor to sup

darling" He stopped abruptly, and
barbara, alarmed by his pallor, shocked
and overcome by his unexpected cen
fession and request, could only beg him
to give her time.
That night she lay awake trying to
decide what to do. She ]onged for her
mother as never before. She loved no
enc else, but the hero of her dreams
had always been an unknown, fascinat-
ing creature, and King West she knew
so we'll He WIS a dear, good fellow,
brave ana handsome, but she would al
most as soon think of marrying Ned
as his old and intimate friend. It
wrung her womanly heart to think of
him so soon TO die. What mattered her
girlish quallns? AS ne had said, it
would be such little while, after ali,
and it would make the dear fellow hap
pier. But there was that money. If
only he were poor, her motives would
be understood; but-well, what did
she care if her own heart was right?
And she would give It all away and
help everybody. all in his name. And
vet, marriage was such sacred thing.
So poor Barbara tossed and turned and
reasoned and changed her mind, and
the upshot Of it all was that there was
very solemn and quiet marriage cere-
mony, and at its close the pale, sweet
faced bride was Mrs. West.
Mr.. Lippincott consented-he loved
this adopted son sincerely-and, indeed,
he never had refused any request of
his idol, Barbara. So the days went on.
