BRYAN's CAMPAIGN PLANS.

stiIi Stands by the Kansas
City Platform.

1t is believed that William Jennings
Bryan brought back some interesting
news from his recent lecture tour
through the south. The news relates
to the stories that the south was
ready to turn from the Kansas City
platform to accept the leadership OF
David Bennett Hill, says Lincoln
(Neb) report in the New York Sun.
Mr.. Bryan is not talking for publica-
ton, but he makes no secret to his
particular friends of his satisfaction
over the condition in which he found
democratic politics in the south. While
he discovered that leaders like Bailey,
men with ambitions of their own to
follow, have indicated their intention
of allying themselves with that fac
ton of the democratic party which
promises the quickest success ma
tionally, he found the rank and file still
loyal.
The west he regards as morally GER
tain to stand by the Kansas City plat
form. and whatever successes are
achieved in the congress campaign
this fall he is sure will inure to the
benefit of the regular democracy.
At Washington he found unexpected
friendliness among democrats from all
parts of the country, save the middle
states. The central west he looks upon
as the real fighting ground of the de-
mocracy in preliminary skirmishes,
and here he proposes to go next, for
the purpose of looking after his
fences.

"What did you mean by maxim
me think he was hidden there?" he
demanded, furiously, unappeased by
the dancing brown eyes that looked
into his.
"I didn't tell you that he was
there" she said, innocently. "You
said he was there yourself"
Ben Pringle flung himself out of the
house and upon his horse without a
backward glance. If he had looked
he would have seen the girl standing
in the door, shading her eyes with
her hand and waving something white
after him; but he could not look.
Down under the sycamore tree ven
geance was waiting for him in the
the person of a grim old sheriff who
had an extraordinary gift of Ian
guage.
The girl watched them out of sight
and then turned back into the room.
"You can come out now" she said;
and the man who had laid Sol Wig
gins low came forth from his hiding
place.

gleefully, as he stretched his cramp-

she said, briefly. I'D strike out for
the lower ford, and try to get across
before they find the track again."
And acting on her suggestion he
went; but bursts of laughter made
merry the solemn road down to the
lower ford.
Three weeks later Ben Pringle,
still in the depths of humiliation,
told Sheriff Barton all about it.

THE two men, riding a little dis
i lance from the house, sat on
their horses and looked at one an
other.

the elder man, with decision.
"But she says not" said the young

The sheriff ran his fingers grimly
through his long beard, and gazed
at the house in question. Looks
mighty innocent" he said refectively.
Nobody at home but the girl-her
there ironin'-ducks and chickens in
the yard-everything like it had been
just so for year."
The young man, who CHANGED to
be deputy sheriff, smiled at his SUI
''Tell We what" he said blushing, IF
he's there 1 can get that girl to give
him up. I'm some acquainted with
her." he added, consciously. "Ive

off down the road and wait at that
sycamore tree at the fur side O. the

"See what it is to have kind o.
way with women" sighed the sheriff
"There was always somethin' lackin
in me, but whenever I piped they
didn't dance, not by long sight.
I'll wait for We, Ben"
The sheriff rode away as though
he had given up the quest, while Ber
Pringle, deputy of weeks standing
and intent on his first capture, went
back to the house he had quilted a
few minutes before. He was hand
some young fellow, tall and alert
There was something suggestive OF
power in the very manner in which he
tossed the bride over a fence-post
and slapped the horses neck, making
that animal bound airily; and per
haps the girl within was not alto
gether unconscious of 1t.
She bent over the table sprinklinf
more clothes and singing to herself
The neck of her waist was turned
in, showing the round, white throat
Her sleeves were rolled up above hei
elbows, and such arms might hav'
set throbbing an older heart thar
his. All the mass of her red-browl
hair was piled up on her head, bu
there were alluring little curls tina
fuffed around her forehead ant
strayed over her neck. The deput.
sheriff inwardly reminded himself
that he had come back in pursuit o
an escaped prisoner; but when h
paused to think he was not quite to-
sure. AS for her, when she straight

One of the most interesting

by admiring friends to his great
grandfather, the immortal Davy
Crockett, hero of the Alamo, and
author of the equally immortal
phrase, "Be sure you are right
and then go ahead" This gun
was carried by the grandson of
the first owner, the late Gen.
"Bob" Crockett, who brought
down much game with it, but
now it has been retired with hon.

mainder of its days, or centuries.
as a relic of one of the greatest
characters this country has ever
produced. 1t is a formidable
looking weapon, originally of the
-flint-lock type, with 40-caIibre
bore, The barrel was originally
46 inches long, but some of it has
been cut off and it is now only 40
IL inches. 1t was presented to
David Crockett soon after his
second election to congress in
1929, by some of his admirinc
young Wing friends of Philadel-
phia. 1t cost $3.50 and was made
especially for him, The donors
raised the money by contributing
half a dollar each TO the fund.

says that Mr.. Small had q quart
of whisky, and that he took three
drinks from the bottle going up
to Puney and two when coming
back.
While Small declined TO give
any explanation to newspaper
men. il is known that his ex-
PLANTATION to his friends is as fol-

that he delivered an address at
Putney and then started for Bat
