DEMOCRATS ALL SERENE
Their Convention at Sioux Falls OF
Wednesday Closed With Feel
ings of HARMONY.
ings of Harmony.

Thursday there was a happy
lot of democrats arrived in the city
from Sioux Falls, where thev attend
ed the state convention Wednesday.
They were delegates from Hutchin-
son: Douglas and Charles Mix coun-
ty, and they were feeling exceeding
ly happy over the result of the con-
vention, which selected Hon. E. S.
johnson, Of Armour, as the national
committeeman from this state. Mr..
Johnson'S place as chairman of the
state central committee was filled by
the election of j. w. Martin, Of
Watertown.
The following delegates were selec-
ted to the national convention at st.
Louis and they were instructed to
vote for the nomination Of William
Randolph Hearst for president:
First District-John Fanslow of
Yankton.
Second District-R. f. Pettierew
of Minnehana.
Third District-W. f. Brennan of
Kingsbury.
Fourth Disrtict-J. a. Stransky

Fifth District II. S. Volkmar of
Grant.
Sixth District-E. NJ. Gross Of
Potter.
Seventh District - Chauncey L,
Wood Of Pennington.
Eighth District-W. j. Whitmire
of Lawrence.
One Of the strong features of the
convention was the address of eX-
Senator Pettigrew,..who made his ad-
vent wholly into the democratic par
ty at this time. There was some
doubt as to his democracy before,
but after his speech he was accepted
as one of the faithful.
The Mitchell delegation arrived
home this afternoon via the Milwau-
kee road and the boys say that
democracy is looking up since that
convention was held.

was a faint response, and then a
growl and yelp of wolf. 1t was a
blood curdling yelp, followed quickly
by another and then a human cry.
Harold trembled with excitement and
wonder Suddenly out of the gloom
ahead he caught sight of huge, form
less object on the ice. Instinctively he
guessed it's meaning 1t was the
broken mast and sail Of the Snow
Bunting piled in wreckless disorder
over the craft.
But beside it and tugging away at
something near the sail were half a
dozen dark bodies which he recognized
as huge, hungry wolves. 1t was crit
ical moment, and for an instant Har-
old did not know how to act. He
shouted loudly to brighten the wolves
away, heading his boat directly for
them as if to run them down. The
Ice King was now sailing directly in
the wind again, and she was clipping
along at q speed which made the ice
fly.
The wolves snarled and snapped, an
grily resenting this great object fly
ing toward them. But they did not re-
treat. They had run down one such
creature and found it to be made of
wood and cloth. What harm could
there come, then, from this new one
looming up out Of the darkness?
Their brief challenge, however, gave
both Harold and Chetson a moment to
think and breathe. The latter stag
gered to his feet and dragged himself
to one side. Then huge wolf leaped
upon him again and pulled him sprawl
ing to the ice. Harold shouted to
brighten the beast, but it was no use.
The animal was hungry and savage.
Then in a moment Harold felt the in
spiration Of the moment and acted on

it. He knew that he had one chance
in a hundred of accomplishing it. With
a steady hand he steered his craft
straight for the dismantled Snow
Bunting, holding the nose Of the Ice
King so firmly and steadily toward
the point that collision seemed in
evitable. A waver of hairs breadth
might precipitate an accident which
would ruin all. The skill of a man
with iron nerves was required to avoid
an accident.
When the PROV of the Ice King was
within half an inch of the wreck it
veered sharply to the left, swinging
the craft around so fiercely that the
runners actually became entangled in
some of the rigging. But the sharp,
steel shod runners cut the small ropes
in two and spun on their way over the
surface of smooth ice. In that brief
instant, however, Harold had stretched
forth hand and grasped ChetSon by
the leg. There was a quick gasp, a
groan, and then the Ice King cleared
the wreck and rushed on her way.
Harold chung to the leg of Chetson
and slowly pulled him toward the
yacht. In the sudden change Of af-
fairs the big wolf had been shaken
from his hold and was now vainly
running in pursuit Of his disappearing
prey. But not So the two other big
wolves that had boldly challenged the
approaching craft. They had leaped
upon it as the yacht swept past them
There they stood in the dim light,
covering with fear and dread, on the
forward part of the yacht. The uneX-
pected speed which carried them along
had robbed them Of all anger and
spirit They crouched closely to the
boat, uttering low whines and snarls,
but not daring to move forward or
jump from the flying craft
When ChetsOn was securely pulled
on the Ice King, Harold saw his two
passengers in the front, and for a mo-
ment he thought they were ready to
spring upon them. But when he saw
their craven fear he laughed.
'Look, Chetson! Isn't that sight
worth all our danger? Did you ever
see such frightened animals?"
In spite Of his wounds Chetson join
ed in the laugh, but the noise made by
them brought matters to sudden eli
max Both wolves darted from their
perch and fell headlong on the ice,
where they rolled over and over, while
the ice yacht sped on through the dark
ness at fifty miles an hour.
They'll never board another ice
yacht, I'll bet" was Harold's comment.
mot unless they go back and chew
up my wrecked one," replied Chetson
cts a pretty sad wreck, and''-
Probably not so bad as you think.
Well go back in the morning and pick
it up" replied Harold. You'll have
to go home with me tonight, and in the
morning I'll help you rig it up again.
With the second race thus happily
ended, the bitterness between them
was forgotten, and later, when Haro.A
finished rigging up the Snow Bunting,
Chetson insisted upon sending work
men to make the addition to his home
as fair payment in return. AS for
the next cup race-well, they're both
looking forward to it this winter

winter in his work and in the end
caused him endless worry and loss of
time and labor.
But, on the other hand, the need of
the 500 in cash offered by the COM
mittee in charge OF the races was i'm
perative, and Harold had counted so
confidently on it that he had, figura-
lively speaking, already spent it. The
addition to the humble home which ne
and his aged mother occupied on the
banks of the Upper river had been
planned and talked about for a year.
This addition was needed to keep out
the cold and to make life more COM
Portable for the inmates.
One of the judges appeared at this
moment and interrupted his train Of
Bit II thoughts. IF you come down
next year with yacht you'll certain

wanted to give the prize to you, but it
was impossible. You had the right Of
way and could have stood ON your
course. You were certainly going fast
enough to win by long lead 1t was

prize and championship cup of
~ the Upper river was over, and
Harold Stetson was looking
ruefully at his craft, which had just
missed winning the coveted trophies.
1t was bitter disappointment because
the ice yacht he had built with such
skill and labor was really the faster
boat of the two, Which had run neck
and neck for the prize across a stretch
of five miles of shimmering ice. For
six months he had been preparing for
the race, spending his odd moments in
perfecting every little detail that
might in the crucial moment decide
the contest. In fair trial and a fair
field he had been confident Of victory.
Others had not shared this belief un-
til they had seen the burst of speed
which the Ice King developed in the
last mile of the race. Then Harold
had sent her down the course with all
the skill of good maneuvering, and the
yacht had fairly leaped into the air to
skim merrilly over rather than on the
ice.
"Why, she only seemed to touch
about every hundred feet!" some one Of
the spectators exclaimed in admira-
ton.

third critic. IF so he'll take the prize
next year."
"Well, it was too bad. By rights the
prize should go to him. 1t wasn't fair"
These remarks were pleasant to hear,
but they did not change the condition
of affairs. The race was lost-lost to
him and won by one who did not need
the money as Harold did.
Chetson Allison had not played fair,
and none knew it better than the two
contestants for the prize. At the crit
ical moment when the Ice King was
rushing down in a squirt which would
have carried her to victory with
handsome margin Chetson had altered
his course, changed it so that a COLI
sion was Inevitable unless Harold was
willing to sacrifice the race. 1t was a
trick which the judges could not we'll
