under the Australian ballot law, as
amended by the last legislature they

entitled to place on the official ballot
unless it shall have cast at the previous
general election at least 5 per cent of

gated it has been discovered that the
Democrats of Marion county last fall
cast between 500 and zoo votes, while

soon pass.
She wondered how far Chrissy was on the
road, and if Julien would be at the hotel
when the note arrived. She went down
stairs and walked on the lawn as far as the
gate, where she had so often parted from
him. She saw the rain-clOuds gathering,
and returned to her room. She tried to read,
but could not. She heaEi the sound of q
horses hoofs below thewindow, and, looking
out, her lips turned pale. Julien was riding
up the drive. He must have galloped all
the way from the town, she said, as she hur-
ried from the window to her mirror.
Julien threw his bride to George, who
was hopping about on one foot before the
door. In the hall he met Lefty. who, with
scared eyes, told him that Sibylla was at
home, and ran upstairs to warn her sister.
When Sibylla entered he was at the win
dow. She closed thedoor and stood looking
at him in silence. The color had not yet
returned to her cheeks, and Julien, she saw,
was very pale. For long moment they
stood looking into each others eyes.
