The committee appointed to visit the
recalcitrant delegations made the rounds
with great dispatch and returned in less
than an hour, reporting that they had
polled some of the missing delegations
and had secured the guarantee Of suffi-
cient number to swell the total to 5s2.
They also stated that while in some cases
they had not been able to make an actual
poll on account of the impOssibility of
seeing individual delegates, they had been
assured by members of delegations who
were seen that there would be a vote of at
least $50. This estimate, it was stated

The following resolutions was unani-
mously adopted: "That it is the sense Of
this meeting that the interest of the cause
of free silver requires that Democrat in
favor of silver should be elected temporary
chairman Of the convention and that all
true and loyal friends of the free coinage
Of silver should vote for Senator John w.
Daniel for temporary chairman of the con.
vention as recommended by the minority
report of the national committee.

ton was adopted requesting all silver dele.
gates to be ut the convention hall not
later than II o'clock and in their seats not
later than II 80 this morning.

which occurred at 12 o'clock last night
Senator Jones said: II feel very confident
on the eve of the convention that the
promises of the Democratic silver men to
the country will be entirely verified by the
proceedings tomorrow. We were not able
to locate all the silver delegations tonight
but we have assurances of between 5Ot

Gnidhood, I'm not going to beat about
the bush. I've come to ask you some
thing. T.
''Sit down. Once I'd have thought it
must be an offer of marriage; now L sup
pose you We come to decide some wager &C
cording TO my memory of ancient history"
ono, but have come because you know
everything, and because you are so dis
Greet This is it: Where-no! Who did
Linda MarmOnt marry?"
(Which Linda Marmont?''
"What There are twoP Great Jove!'
Lester only breathed this apostrophe. 1t
was as if he had not strength left for vocal
effort
"Of course there are two. Though it is
rather odd, with name like that You
didn't meet-no, you weren't here that
season that Tom Marmont's young niece
came here from back in the country some
where, and Linda, our Linda brought her
out and married her off to Mark Weber.
They are travelling in Spain now"
FLOW in the world did she come to do
such cheeky thing as be named Linda
Marmont?' Lester asked the question
with deep resentment. The old lady
dark eyes twinkled as she looked at him
shrewdly.
"Why, she was named for Linda Leland
the families were very intimate, you
know. That was the way that marriage
of Linda's came about; the families made
it up. My son, your silence tells that
you've said all you have to say, and I beg
that no sense of the duty of politeness will
keep you here. Perhaps your wager Is a
very important one."
"You are the best woman in the
world
"And very discreet
"And very discreet. And with happy
laugh Lester stopped and kissed her with
cred hand and was gone.
But his happy mood was not to remain
unbroken through that winter afternoon.
When he sent up his card to Mrs. Mar
