That evening Arthur Norris called
to his suit he had not the slightest
doubt. He had carefully rehearsed

his campaign since quitting Paris he
decided that he had made 70 mis-

He made his declaration confidently.

A few. days later General Garden ar.

conferences with Arthur Morris. One
night he greeted Jessie with unusual
tenderness. The old proud light was
In his eyes. His shoulders were

Peter Burt abruptly changed the

nearly three hours they talked on
various topics. ana never once did
Peter Burt lead the conversation In n
direction not entertaining to his fair
young visitor. Not until the great rock
to the west OF the house threw its
long shadow over them Gid Jessie look
at her watch. With nn exclamation Of
surprise she arose to 20.

THE VALUE Of ONE VOTE

But the Importance OF one vote was
never more signally demonstrated than

declared for both Jefferson and Burr

gave TO Jefferson, There would have
been no tie. the election would not have
been transferred TO the House Of Repre-
