CHAPTER XII.-CoNTINUED.
'T wish Chuck was in there. | wish
ne would come out and kick me good
and hearty"
(Chuck would have been delighted
to perform the trifing service; and he
would not have gone about it with any
timidity, ether.
Hang the horses! I'm going to take
a peek in at the side window, and he
slid cautiously from the box. He stole
around the side and stopped at one
of the windows. The curtain was not
wholly lowered, and he could see into
the drawing-room. They were there,
all of them; and Miss Annesley was
holding the baby, which Mrs. Jack
had awakened and brought down stairs
He could see by the diffident manner
In which Jack was curling the ends of
his mustache that they were compar-
ing the baby with him. ''The conceited
asst" muttered the self-appointed out
cast; lit doesn't look any more like
him than it does like me-" Here Miss
Annesley kissed the baby, and War
burton hoped that they hadn't washed
its face since he performed the same
act
Mrs. Jack disappeared with the hope
of the family, and Nancy got out
bundle of photographs. Msieu Thames
would have given almost anything he
possessed to know what these photo
graphs represented. Crane his neck
as he would, he could see nothing. All
he could do was to watch. Sometimes
they laughed, sometimes they became
grave; sometimes they explained, and
their guest grew very attentive. Once
she even leaned forward eagerly. 1t
was about this time that our jehu
chanced to look at the clock on the
mantel, and Immediately concluded to
vacate the premises. 1t was half after
ten. He returned to his box forthwith.
q was going to use the word "alac-
rity," but l find that it means cheer
full readiness" After what seemed TO
him an interminable wait, the front
door opened and a flood of light
blinded him. He heard Nancy's voice.
Il am sorry, Betty, that 1 can't dine
with you on Monday. We are going
10 Arlington. 30 sorry.
I'm mott" murmured the wretch on
the box. I'm devlish glad!- Imagine
passing soup to ones sister! By
George, It was a narrow one! 1t would
have been all over then"
well, there will plenty of times
this winter, " said Betty. Il shall see
you all at the Country club Sunday af
ternoon. Good night, every one. No,
no; there's no need OF any of you COM
ing to the carriage"
But brother Jack did walk to the
door with her; however, he gave not
the slightest attention to the groom,
for which he was grateful.
you must all come and spend the
evening with me soon," said Betty, en-
tering the carriage
THAT we SHALL" said brother Jack,
closing the door for her Good night" +"
Home, James" said the voice with
in the carriage.
| do not know whether or not he
slept soundly that night on his stable
cot. He never would confess But it
is my private opinion that he didn't
sleep at all, but spent a good part
of the night out of doors, smoking
very black, strong cigars.
Celeste, however could have told you
that her mistress, as she retired, was
in most amicable frame of mind. Once
she laughed.

No Pajamns for Him.

1t was at a dinner, and the shy
young girl was in misery because she
had to talk to a very deaf old man
In great embarrassment she began
looking for some topic for conversa-
ton, and, seeing dish of bananas
said to the old man,
do you like bananas?"
"Hey?"
do you like bananas?"
whats that?"
"Do you like bananas?" shouted the
poor girl, conscious that every one at
the table was listening in amusement.

loudly, "old-fashioned nightgown

and served so we'll in rehearsals that
Pierre could only grumble. One af-
ternoon she superintended the comedy.
She found thousand faults with him,
so many, in fact, that Pierre did not
understand what it meant, and became
possessed with the vague idea that she
was hitting him over the groom's
shoulder. He did not like it; and
later, when they were alone, War
burton was distinctly impressed with
Pierre's displeasure.

can not please me. Bah! Eat ees vat

And there were other humiliations,
petty ones. She child him on having
the stirrup too long or too short; the
curb chain was rusting; this piece
of ornamental silver did not shine like
that one. James fetlocks were too
long; Pirates hoofs weren't thorough
" oiled. With dogged patience he
tried to remedy all these faults. 1t was
only when they had had a romping
run down the road that this spirit fell
away from her, and she talked pleas
antly.
Twice he ran into Karloff, but that
shrewd student of human nature did
not consider my hero worth studying;
a grave mistake on his part, as he was
presently to learn. He was handsome,
and the only thing he noticed about the
groom was his handsome face. He
considered it a crime for servant to
be endowed with personal attractions.
A servant in the eyes of a Russian
noble excites less interest than
breedless dog. Mr.. Robert made no
complaint: he was very well satisfied
to have the count ignore him entirely.
Once he met the count in the Turkish
room, where, in the capacity of but
Ter he served liquor and cigars. There
was certain grim humor in lighting
his rivals cigar for him. This service
was a test of his ability to pass through
a room without knocking over taborets
and chairs Another time they met
when Betty and the two of them took
a long ride. Karloff did notice how
well the groom rode his mettlesome
mount, being himself a soldier and
daring horseman. Warburton had some
trouble. Pirate did not take to the
idea of breathing Jane and Dicks dust,
he wanted to lead these second-raters.
Mr.. James arms ached that afternoon
from the effort he had put forth to re-

THE ELECTION.

The election of Tuesday of this
week replaces the affairs of the
country into the hands of the Re-
publican party and the trusts.
While the Democrats have gained
some Congressman, but that body
will still continue to be Domino
ted by the Republicans. We are
glad to note that the South re-
mains true to its traditions; true
to the party which stood by it in
the hour of its trials, and which
upbuilt and received its fallen
fortunes after the war of Sc
cession. AS for the State of
Louisiana it sends a solid Demo-
cratic delegation back to the cap
itol. All the amendments were
carried but one. So now the suf-
fragist would do we'll to recon-
mence the payment of his poll
tax from this date onward, if he
hopes to find himself able to ex-
ercise the voting privilege at the
next election effecting the whole
State, which will be the guberna-
torial election in April of 1908.

GRAND RALLY
Senator Hepburn addresses Large
Audience on Issues of the
Campaign.

The Republican Rally, held at
the opera house lat Monday even
ing, outcapped anything OF like
nature ever held in Shoshone. Peo-
pie from all over the county were
present the hall being packed to
the doors and much enthusiasm
was shown throughout the entire
program.
After two choice musical select
ions by the Shoshonc Silver Cor
net band the meeting was called to
order by A. l. Mcmahon, VINO pre-
sided as chairman of The meeting.
Mr.. Mcmahon in a few choice
words explained to the gathering
the object Of the assemblage and
touched on some of the more i'm
portant issues of the crmpaign.
Miss Belle Chamberlain, nominee
for State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, was then introduced
by the chairman, and she, in
brief but instructive talk. explained
to the people the conditions now
existing in the schools throughout
the state and pointed out where
changes could be made that would
be of material value. Miss Cham
berlain's address was very well re-
c-ived by the audience.
The chairman then introduced
the principal speaker of the even
ing, the Hon. Weldon b. Hepburn
United States Senator for Idaho,
and at the mention of the honora-
ole gentleman's name the audience
nearly went wild. The Senator
poke at some length on the Nor
non question and explained to
he pc pie the smallness OF the
ubject OF which the Democrats are
rying to make an issue. The SEN
Ior also spoke about the tariff |
question, the record of the Repub-
lean party, having data to prove
lis statements, and the record OF |
he state administration. To the
after he paid high tri-

raise for the buisness-like man.

The report was ratified by the
convention and the Committee on
Resolutions was called upon to re

were read and unanimously adopt
ed by the convention:
We the delegates to the Repub-
lican County Nominating Conven-
ton hereby affirm our allegiance
to the National policies of the Re-
publican party under the leader
ship of the Peerless Roosevelt, and
are especially proud of the record
of the last National Congress in
that it caused more 5enefcent
legislation to be enacted into law,
and the needs of the great mass of
the common people received more
careful attention than any previous
congress ever held.
We call the attention of the
stockgrowers and farmers OF Lin
coin county to the fact that the
present prosperous conditions OF
the farmers and stockmen, bust
ness is solely and directly attribut
able to the wise and beneficent
protective laws enacted by the Re-
publican party.
We again call the attention of
those occupying homesteads under
the Minidoka Reclamation Project.
that they have been afforded this
golden opportunity to build home
for themselves and families solely
because of the all-wise policy of the
party in enacting the
Reclamation Act.
We feel that the Republican
party should feel satisfied and
pleased by the record made by
Idaho's Representatives in the
National Congress. Senator Hey
burn has achieved national promin-
ence in accomplishing the passage |
Of the Pure Food Bill, and Con-
yressman French has been ever
of the welfare of the peo-
pie of the State OF Idaho, and es-

Snake River Claims Another.

Word was received here the first
OF the week that AR. Ayers, a we'll
known rancher of Hagerman, had
been drowned in the Snake river
near that place. 1t seems that
last Sunday Mr.. Ayers had been
on the opposite side of the river
atts ling to some work and late
in the afternoon wishing 10 return
and not being able to procure
passage on the ferry boat, he
launched an old row boat that had
been standing idle on the bank the
greater part OF the summer and
attempted to effect his passage in
that.
That was the last seen of Mr..
Ayers and late in the evening. rel
atiyes of the deceased becoming
uneasy as to his whereabouts, a
search was made for him, with the
result that the boat in which he
started was found almost full Of
water washed up on the banks of
small island in the middle of the
stream. The boat was an old one
and as it had been landed high
and dry since early in the summer
the supposition is that after Mr..
Ayers started to cross the river the
boat commenced TO take water with
the result that just after he got
fairly started he had to abandon il
and try to make land by swimming
which he was unable to do. We
have been unable to learn up to
this time whether or not the body
Of the deceased had been recovered

brother, moved here from the east

STIRRING RESOLUTIONS PASSED
W. N Shilling of Rupert Elected Chairman--Every
Place on the Ticket Filled by Competent
Office Holders.

The Republican County conven-
ton that was held here last Mon
day was probably the most harmo-
ious one ever held in the county,
and at the conclusion the best OF
feeling prevailed among the de-
feated candidates and the lucky
ones.
The convention was called to or
der shortly after two O'Clock by +.
w. Gooding, chairman OF the Re
publican County Central commit
cs, who announced the purpose OF
the convention and called for the
nominations OF a Temporary chair
man. w. n. Shilling of Rupert
was the choice OF the convention
and ia very eloquent speech he
thanked the members OF the con-
vention for the honor conferred up
on him. Among other things Mr.
Shilling stated that he had voted
in Idaho for SO years and he was
proud to say that he had always
voted the Republican ticket
straight. Mr.. Shilling was inter
rupted several times during his re-
marks by the enthusiastic az
plause of those present. Nomina-
tions for a temporary secretary
were then in order and c. g. Dol
man of Hagerman received the
unanimous vote of the delegates.
On motion of f. S. Smith of Ru-
pert three committees were ap-
pointed-committee on Creden-
tials, committee on Order of Busi-
ness and committee on Resolu- |
tions-the committees to consist of

pointed by the chair. Thirty I
