delegates ballotted without result.
There was adjournment over Sunday,
and on Monday the scheme was to be
carried through. At l o'clock Monday
morning the Blaine leaders met in the
Grand Pacific Hotel. They counted up
the votes that could be depended upon
for Blaine and the total was big ma
jority of the whole.

eve will nominate Blaine as soon
as the convention meets" they said
just before adjourning the conclave,
when the first gray light of the morn
ing was streaming in at the windows.
When, at 10 o'clock, the schemers,
weary, but feeling sure of success,
walked into the convention they were
all happy, for before noon the name
of the white Plumed Knight" would
again be placed before the voters of
the country as presidential nominee.
But they didn't know that Boutelle,
Blaine's closest friend, had received
a cablegram from him the day before.
1t was short and simple and it read:
I think II have a right to ask my
friends to respect my Wishes" Bou-
telle had slept on this cablegram, but
was in doubt early Monday morning
whether to read it to the convention
or not.
His doubts had been set at rest,
however, by an interview with John
Sherman, printed that morning in one
of the Chicago papers. Sherman an
alyzed the political game the Blaine
men were playing and condemned it.
In the light of what Sherman had
said, Boutelle didn't see how he could
keep the cablegram in his pocket.
When he entered the hall and told
his friends about the cablegram they
stormed, pleaded, threatened, almost
with tears, but he was firm, and imme-
diately after the cablegram was read
the convention got itself together and
named Harrison without further ado.
1t was the old big Four of New
York, Platt, Depew, Miller and His
cock, who made Harrison's nonlina-
tion possible, and they, together with
Stephen B. Elkins, who was the orig
inal Harrison man, had fixed it all up
outside the convention, just as the
Blaine men thought they had fixed
UP their game. 1t was agreed by FL
kins when he Won the big Four
over to Harrison, that Plat should be
made Secretary of the Treasury. thus
gratifying his long ambition. But he
never got the place.

love-tipped arrows the young hearts
of Homer Rodgers, young gentle
man who has scarcely reached his
majority, and Miss Cora Lou Duggan,
young school miss in short dresses.
AS spring approached, and the
flowers blOOmed, and birds carrOlled
their sweet songs, and everything
in nature turned lightly to thoughts
of love, the iufatuatiOn Of these two
young people grew more and more
intense, and Tuesday played the
prank that laughs a locksmiths and
betoOk themselves To that fount that
causes two hearts TO beat as one and
always with a single thought.
Mr.. Rodgers procured a closed vehi-
Gle and made his way to the Ocala
High school and told the teacher such
pathetic account of some accident
that had befallen the young lady's
mother that he readily granted her
permission to leave the school room

love, FASTENED behind two flying

hypnotic illusion prompted by the
same never failing power was exerted
over the preacher, and the youthful
lovers, under the formal rights of the
church, plighted their troth one to the
other.
The performance over, the bride and
bridegroom just had time to catch
the south bound train for Ocala and
were soon receiving the congratula.

dainty bells over the fallen branches
and the roots of Swiss pine wood. Tiny
rounded leaves and delicate bells hang

flames down unhindered. Here are
the truest children of Switzerland, the

till they took the very blue of the skies.

reason. Pyrola loves the wood be-
cause it loves the cool and moist, yet
also too much moisture is by no means
a blessing. Therefore it stores mOis-

ductor entered with the request: Fares,

"Fares!" said the conductor again,
this time rather sternly.
The passenger addressed responded
with a series of spasmodic winks, and
tapped the backs of his cards signifi-
cantly when his three companions were
ont looking.
Come, sir; I'm in hurry" said the
conductor

fellow players.

swer.
MY moneys all on the board" said
the passenger, appealing to the conduc-
tor.
You'll have to get off at the next
station, then"
The man laid his cards face down and
said in low tone to the next player:
What you you do?"
81 raise you TO-" was the reply.
The man passed his hand up to the
conductor. The latter gave it one glance.
Then he relieved fat pocket-book of
two 500 bills and handed them to the
dealer.
1--WE see your 20 and go you 20 BETTER"
he said.
The original raiser of 500 shifted I'M
easily in his seat. Matters were becom-
ing complicated. Finally he said:
"I'll raise you ten"
Call him." said the conductor, and
handed over the money.
The delinquent passenger called, and
started to take in the money on four
aces, when the other showed straight
flush and proceeded to fill his pockets
with the money, which included the con-
ductor's.
The latter was dazed. The delinquent
passenger was meek and astonished.
''Now, you'll have to get off" snapped
the conductor.
The train was just pulling into sta
ton, and the whole party alighted.
After the train had started again pas
senger remarked to the conductor:
Pretty slick crowd, eh? l saw 'em
work the same game over in Ohio few
weeks ago"
But the conductor was SO mad that
he did not reply, and went into the next
car and slammed the door behind him.
