he displayed great executive ability in
the management Of the campaign,
while as an orator he has more than a
local reputation. Mr.. Elliott has never
been a seeker after public office, but
has been content to remain by his lu-
c:ative practice. He was for six years
city attorney for Wellington and was
county attorney for one term. His
practice has ever been an extensive one
as he represents many large firms and
corporations. For the past twelve
years he has been local attorney for
the Rock Island and Missouri Pacific

the moment of entering upon his official
duties he has known no politics, but
conducted his office on strictly business
principles, hence his popularity. How
satisfactory has been his work in office
is evidenced by the fact that on going
before the people for reelection in 1897
he received a majority of SAC votes
showing mis- support to be irrespective
of party. No man in Sumner county
enjoys a greater degree of confidence
more justly earned.

his way, and as he did not know her ad-
dress-Kitty never having invited him to
the little Eat homes which she and
Myra often held-he was not able TO find
her out or communicate with her. He was
surprised to learn how much he missed
her and how often she was in his
thoughts; and at last he never went out
without scanning each bus and car and
hanson as they passed him, in the hope
that he could discover her.
Life went on as usual with the two
girls. Myra discreetly refrained from
making any remark when Kitty an

IS so large-grow under fingers, and so
deft is she that she can still go on with
them even when the room is filled with
callers, and there is a continuous buzz
OF conversation in which she is expected
to join.
Myra had let her book drop into her
