CHAPTER XVII.

Morning broke.
With the first streak of red in the east
the men who had been on guard were
stirring.
One of them came to the door of the
milk house and listened.
Il reckon he's asleep" he reported.
Anyway he amt a-movin' round"
wall, let him have his snooze out,
| said Bill Green. Its prob'ly the last
one he'll enjoy fer a right smart spell"
As soon as it was fully light men be-
gan to arrive.
They came from all parts of the settle
ment, and before o'clock the entire male
portion of the neighborhood was on hand.
| 1t was evident from the stern and res
! olute look on the faces of most of them
and the determined air which character
of grave and weighty import was about
to be done.

"Let's hear his story, fust of ALL"
Yes. trot him out" chuckled Saman-
thy. "Trot him right out. Pm jest achin'
to see ye do it,"
Bill Green, as master of ceremonies, I'M
locked the door of the milk house.
Come out O. that" he called out, in
tone that was meant to convey terror
to the occupant of the milk house.
Hearing it and watching the way in
which Bill swelled up like a turkey COB
bier as he delivered his order, Samanthy
chuckled all over.
No reply came from the milk house and
no person emerged therefrom.
"Pr'aps he's asleep yet" some one in
the crowd suggested. Heller am wake
him up, Bill"
Samanthy's amusement increased.
Bill put his head in at the door very
cautiously and looked around the room.
He amt here"' he cried in dismay.
He's gin us the slip, felers, as sure's ye

grave danger that many Atlantans will
forget how it is played, says a resident

this decline IN the national game lies
in the penalty attached-there IS a fine

the second no human power can keep
the offender from the chain gang So
il can be readily understood why the
fascination Of draw does not tempt
gentlemen of sporting proclivities in
Atlanta. The ignominy of being hauled
up in court is too great price TO pay

In spite Of the comparatively few
Representatives likely to be chosen for
Ross, his chances of winning the sena-
torial contest are not to be scoffed at.
1t is apparent that the contest between
Dillingham; and Grout is going to be
very close. with the leader not many
votes to the good. The 'unpledged"
members are likely to hold the key to
the situation, and it is very possible
that even with all the Republicans
aligned there win be enough straight
Democrats, not under obligation to
vote for either Grout OF Dillingham;. to
cause a deadlock. Ross Is the easy
solution Of this difficulty. and as a
dark horse he is a formidable figure in

When the Caledonia county senators

the Grout and Ross supporters that
Grout should have the senator from
St. Johnsbury without opposition and
that later, the Judge should be repre-
scented in the House by member from
his own town. without opposition from
Grout. The Ross men kept their
agreement, but now, after a regular
caucus has nominated a Ross candi-
date, the Grout faction have filed a
man OF their own. Are votes 50
precious to the general that straight
promises must be broken?
