Sam Rawson occasionally said q

could not understand how the money
appropriated for the roads had van

stretch of road running past SANS
house was in VIGOROUSLY poor condi-

had paid literally to have it put in
good order, and there was general in

statement before the selectmen. IT'D

date danger. shouted, but my voice
was unheeded or was drowned in the
clatter of hoofs. ,the noise, of the
wheels. Instant humiliation seemed
mine. There was mo way of escaping
that dreadful rush. The great eyes of
the carriage glared into mine I saw
the figure Of man rise up. and heard
the crack Of the whip as he dashed the
horses onward. Then when it seemed
as though the maddened animals must
bear me down, when almost fancied
could see the hoofs raised to batter out
my brains, l suddenly swerved to the
left, drove hard on the pedals and
found myself flying headforemost into
the ditch,
1t was desperate move, but it saved
me. 4 few moments later the carriage
Numbered over the very spot which
had so precipitately vacated. and as it
dashed by l caught the momentary
glimpse. of man as he leaned forward
In the glare of the lamp. 1t was but
glance, inconceivably rapid, but rapid
as it was it enabled me to distinguish
the outline of the face. 1t was the vel
low man with the strange eyes!
Fortunately for me the occupant or
occupants OF the carriage. which vehi-
Gle was of the phaeton order, did not
wait to see what damage they had
done, so, bruised and shaking with
cold and excitement, dragged myself
out of the ditch and listened-listened
until the sound Of the hoofs died away
In the distance. Then, like one in
dream. fished my bicycle out of the
mud and tested it, and finding wheel
and chain and pedal all moved freely l.
jumped on and made my way over the
muddy road at breakneck speed. |

with intolerable conjecture What

A Boiling Faction.

Realizing their disadvantage IN
opposing "a measure SO emphati-
caily demanded and unequivocally
promised by their party platform, n
few republican papers now seek to
escape the odium Of their ueachery
aud at the same time accomplish
their purpose Of damaging the La
Toilette administration by advo-
eating that the primary election law
be submitted To "A vote Of the people
Their purpose is plain. They want
to seem fair while practicing u fraud.
With the help of the solid democratic
strength in the legislature, united to
small minority of the republican
memhers, these regulators of party
promises may be able to prevent the
passage of u primary law this ses-
sion. BY the same means--a union
of republican regulators with the
solid democratic vote-they would
seek its defeat at the polls, if sub
mitted
The question is u purely politi-
cal one, and the legislative vote
clearly indicates the attitude of "A
majority of the republican party to-
ward it. Its defeat, either in the
legislature or at the polls, will be n
victory for the opposition, and re-
publicaus who aid such results are
in the attitude Of boiling faction,
just as if they boltcd regular party
