An oath escaped the angry colouels

the scar which the wound Lee had made
had left ON his hand, but he turned
abruptly and ordered the troops to form

lawn.
A shout and the sound of firearms
drew the attention of Mrs. Slocumb to
the long avenue that led to the house.
A cry escaped her at the sight, for
there was her husband, followed by two
of her neighbors, pursuing on horseback
band of five Tories whom Tarlet on
had sent TO seour the country.
On and on they came, and il was evi-
dent that the pursuers were too busy to
have noticed the army of Tarleton.
Broadswords and various kinds of wea-
pons were flashing III the air, and 1t
was plain that the enraged Slocumb saw
nothing but the Tories he was pursuing.
Could nothing be done? Would they run
into the very heart of the camp? Mrs
Slocumb tried to scream and warn her
husband, but not sound could she
make. One of the Tories had just fallen,
when she saw her husbands horse sud
denly stop and swerve to one side What

cumb had dispatched. as soon as Tarle-
ton had come, to warn her husband,
had started promptly ON his GRAND, but
the bright coats of the British had so
charmed him that he had fingered about
the place. and when the sound of the
guns was heard Sambo had gone only

avenue. Discretion became the better
part of valor then, and the negro i'll his

but when his frightened face beheld his
master approaching he had mustered
courage enough to crawl forth from his
hiding place and startle the horses as

they had gained the shelter of the

The chagrin of the British Tarleton
was ms great rs the relief of Mrs Slo.

TWIN ROSES.

In a distant, verdant valley,
BY lazy, hmped tide,
Mid the birds and trees and sunshine
Grew two roses side by side.
One was kept by n maiden fair,
The other she gave to her lover there,
As they pnghted their troth one day.
One cleaned white ON u corselet bright,
Az knight rode away in the morning lrgh,
To join his king in the fray.
The other dropped its snowy head
At the fear and grief its mistress knew.
She kissed its petals and murmured low,
Il fear, fear-l love him so. "
She saw fair summer with heated breath
Die in the flush of hectic death.
She heard the wild geese rise and cry
Adown the glaring southern sky.
Yet never home her lover came
Slowly died her hopes bright flame.
In a distant verdant valley,
BY lazy, hmped stream,
Blooms "a rose above grave,
One, white rose In the sunlight's gleam.

Contention That the Antl-Gamb bling
Amendment Was Illegally Carried.
Trenton, Oct. 2O.-The state board Of
canVassers yesterday afternoon can
vassed the returns of the recent con-
stitutional election and found that the
anti-gambiing amendment had been
carried by S02 majority and the ad in
terim amendment by 1926. The wo-
mems suffrage amendment was de-
feated by 10,O59. The returns also
showed 961 rejected ballots. Ex-Sena-
tor Edwards appeared before the board
and raised the point that the rejected
ballots had been improperly thrown
out, and that If they had been counted
the anti-gambling amendment would
have been defeated. His point was
that the ballots had been rejected un-
der the general election law, which pro-
vides that ballots can only be marked
with a pen and black ink, or with a
black pencil. The special election law
under which the election was held pro-
vides for the marking of ballots with a
pencil. and says nothing about color.
He wanted the state canvassing board
to send the returns back to the county
boards for correction. This PROPOSE
tion was rejected, and the two amend
ments were declared carried.
Governor Griggs consented to with
hold until Monday the proclamation
making the two amendments part of
| the constitution. Senator Edwards is
| understood to represent the race track

turns to establish the contention he has

R. Bruce Clayton has received his com

appointed Edward Waters as his assistant.
Ex-Governor PattisOn will stump the
state for the Democratic candidates
With full party vote next month, the
Republicans will carry the county by hand
some majority. Get out the vote, should be

Governor Hastings is leaving his own
state to stump Ohio for Mark Hanna, the
man who said, Hastings has no more back

The Central Republican Club, of Potts
vile, is about the only party organization
that has not endorsed the county ticket.
Hugh O'DOnnell, of Homestead fame and
well known here, will open headquarters in
Pottsville in the interest of Thompson, the
independent candidate for State Treasurer.
1t is important that the county be held in
line this fall, and the way to do that is for
every Republican to go to the polls and vote
for the party nominees.
