Louis will end Thursday Of this
week1promptly at noon.
The near approach Of the4end
calls for the activity of the
friends of each=of the candidates
land from this time OH there will
be a big vote polled every day.
Thousands of votes have been
issued and the final vote will be a
big one.
Miss Villemin today polls close
to $4,000 votes, while Miss
Spencer polls nearly 10000. The
contest between these two ladies
is so close thatit would be simply
impossible to predict the result.
Each has a large number Of
friends who are determined that
their favorite shall win and lay
ing the question Of the contest
entirely aside it is doubtful if
there are two more popular
young ladies in the city.
The issue Of the contests will
be watched with the greatest
interest.
The contest in the outside
towns continues to grow more
spirited and although not 50
large a number is being voted
each day a great many votes are
being reserved.

CHAPTER TX

Y N the gray wreathed dawn Lord
Dunmore, ut the head of his
I Virginia troops, marched off
~ with fife and drum for Fort
Pitt, and the buff and scarlet passed
the Kings Arms, where Anne peered
from the window to see them of. In
one Of the scarlet groups she distin-
guished Francis Byrd. Drawing the
curtains close under her chin, she put
out hand and waved to him, smiling,
and he saluted her face with flash Of
his sword and a wistful look as he rode
by. Immediately behind the governor,
near Jarrat, rode Foy, and a sting of re-
sentiment made her clinch her hands,
with the steel in her eyes.
When they had gone she crept back
into the warp bed and lay smilingly
thinking. She should see Armand soon
again, and he should never know what
she had done. So thinking, she drop
ped to sleep and did not wake till the
sun was high.
She breakfasted with gay spirits, in
sisted on riding horseback and, followed
by John the Baptist, galloped off half
hour in advance of her aunt's chariot
along the way to Greenway Court.
She entered No one was in the hall,
and her feet fell noiselessly in the thick
buffalo robe on the floor.
She pushed open the door of the liv-
ing room and then stopped, startled.
She saw settle strewn with skins, a
wave of curling brown hair pillowed on
it, and under this glimpse of pale
face turned away. There was shaded
window opposite, and light came
through it whitley. A hand and wrist
hung over to the floor. There was some
thing desolata in the silence, something
appealing in the droop Of that hand
that brought smart to Anne's eyes as
she looked.
Suddenly she caught her breath and
took quick steps forward into the room,
gazing searchingly at the figure on the
couch-the strong hair, setting all the
paleness of the face in shadowy
frame; the blue circles under the closed
lids, the young mouth, the upward
sweep of the rounded chin. She began
to tremble exceedingly, her lips un-
steady. her great blue eyes misting, her
whole face caught in quaking terror.
She had gone whittier than q moon flow
er.
"They were too late" she whispered.
"You fought, then? All, willie l was
SO glad!"
She crouched down by the settle, her
hand pressed tight against her heart,
full Of joyful anguish she had never
known. Something she had fought
down hitherto rose in her throat and
choked her at sight of this hurt, this
helplessness.
At last, yielding all at once, with a
little sob and a gesture of pride and
longing and surrender, she bent slowly,
like swaying lily, and kissed him on
