CHAPTER XIII.

When Evelyn reached home, after
leaving the message with Dave, she
found her sister waiting for her in the
garden. Caroline Hasbrool1e said
nothing until the groom had led away
the pony, then, with a malicious
glance at Evelyn, she opened up:
Il guess you've heard about Ronald
Fanshaw."
Evelyn nodded; she could not trust
her voice to calm utterance just then;
besides, it behooved her to dissemble.
"He has murdered Sydney Hart"
Evelyn drew a quick breath and re-
torted:
''He did it in elf-defense-absolute-
ly in self-defense!"
"I don't believe word of it,"
Evelyn bowed her head, and passed
on up the steps, realizing that event.

lines eyes it would not benefit his
cause in the slightest, and she had
heart for nothing that could not light

not satisfied. Nagging was an amuse-

possessed was adapted. She followed

door with significant care and soft.

'Yes sub; des minute TO you got

The colonel swept a triumphant
glance at Winkle, and then concluded
his command to the servant
"Ask her to come down."

man had withdrawn, chat you will par

Twenty minutes later they were in
the sheriff's buggy, on the way to
Danube. Ratcliff had put cheap cigar
between his teeth, but he was not go
ing to light it till they were entering
the. town.
''Thar's one disagreeable feature,7 he
remarked. ''At first, my idea was to
hurry up an git it over, so you wouldn't
have to go to Jail at all; but it has
just struck me that this is Saturday,
an it is sometimes awkward work to
have a trial the last day O. the week.
You sec the prosecution will want to
summon Thad Williams, an that will
take time. Then, as tomorrow is Sun
day, you may have obleeged to wait
over till Monday.'
Ronald told him that it would make
little differences to him whether he
spent fhe time in Jail or out.
'Yo1 feel that away now," comment
ed the sheriff, ''but you will feel diff
ferent when you git in thar, at least
that's my experience with prisoners.

it has better look from the outside
than the inside.'
Just before driving into the public
square Ratcliff struck a match and ap-
Piled the flame to his cigar, then he
drew himself up more erectly and
drove on to the office of Judge Richard
son, the magistrate. A man coming
cut told Ratcliff that the judge had
gone out to his farm to spend Sunday
:You see," said Ratcliff, as he puffed,
and seemed to view himself from the
standpoint of group of citizens who
had gathered on the sidewalk and
whose eyes were asking what had hap
pened. One of the crowd stepped out
TO the buggy and asked if Ronald was
under arrest, but he received only a
non-committal grin and shrug as

All that night Ronald Fanshaw lay
awake. The coming of dawn-its first
gray streaks in the east-was like the
sight of land to a starving, shipwrecked
man, and yet when the sun was up its
genia! rays failed to disperse the shal-
ows in his heart: he found that it ached
as well by day as by night.
After breakfast Mr.. Redding called
to see him.
"Well, this is a pretty howdy -do!" he

II am awfully sorry to have to call on

Redding thoughtfuny pinched his
nose between his thumb and forefnger.
"Ratcliff told me the particulars" he
said, frowning little. "There is no use

either. This case will give you u chance

The main thing is to keep stiff upper

Tunkhannock, Oct. 22.---According to
| telegraphic report, received here this
morning, the Dauphin county court has
handed down a decision in the sena-
torial contest in this district, declaring
invalid the nomination certificate of II.
S. Edmiston, of Bradford county. Mr..
Edmiston was the choice of Bradford
county for the Office, and B. w. Lewis,
OF this place, was nominated by the
Wyoming county Republicans. At the
conference which was held at Wyalus-
ing. the conferees representing the two
counties were not able to get together
on account of disagreement in regard
to the representation to which each
county should be entitled, Wyoming
claiming that she was entitled to an
equal representation with Bradford,
and the latter alleging that a rule or
custom had been established giving
Bradford five conferees and Wyoming
two. The conferees Of the two counties
each held conference and nominated
their men. and the matter came up be-
fore the Dauphin county courts on eX
ceptions filed to both certificates. The
court Immediately decided the Lewis
cision on the Edmiston certificate until
this time. The result of the decision
is that the Republican party in this
district will have no candidate for SEN
ator unless the state committee should
fill the vacancy. The right of Wyo-
ming county to an equal representa-
ton in the district conference is also
established, and in the future she will
be able to get what belongs to her from
Bradford. Bradford has held the nom:-
nation for twenty-six years, ever since
the district was formed, and the claims
of Wyoming for the nomination have
been ignored.

There is q special revival of ac-

the determined stand and expressed
sentiment of Father Eugene Garvey
along this line. A short time ago, the
st. Aloysius society suspended initia-
tion fee for membership into their
society. and as result took in over
$50 new members. Yesterday the
Father Matthew society did the same
thing, and yesterday its membership
was increased by 12O new members.
Tomorrow evening the Ladies auxil-
iary Of the st. Aloysius society will
hold rally and as they have suspend
ed the iniation fee temporarily, it is
hoped to gain a large addition to the
roll of members.
