YADKIN VALLEY RIPPLES.

November 9-The political ago.
ny is all over with ard even de-
feated candidates are signing with
relief.s Ye pencil pusher, like
other free American citizens, went
to the polls to vote. There we
found quite a number of Jealous
poll hucksters ready to offer all
kinds of free advice. To please
them all, we voted for two Repub.
licans, two or three Socialists and
one or two prohibitiopists whom
we never heard of before, but the
poll hucksters said that they we're
mighty nice men. The rest of
the business we voted straight
Democratic as the Democratic fac
ton of poll workers, We thought,
got little the best Of the argument
concerning the empty dinner pals
and the crime of '73.
With due Difference to the in
telligence of the voters of North
Carolina we are in a crying need
of an Australian system of ballet
ing. I have talked to a number
of highly-educated voters who do
not seem to know anything about
the principle. For their benefit,
if they can digest my clodhopper
rhetoric, 1 will try to explain:
Eech ticket, from the presidential
electors Oh down to the township
c%onstables, are printed on one
sheetof paper, in separate columns;
the election judges give the voter
a ticket, he goes alone i'll a booth,
and if he wants to vote the straight
ticket all he has to do is to put
his mark above the column, but
if he wants to vote for four or five
different parties, same as l did IN
East Spencer, he can put his mark
to the left of each name; if he
wants information or assistance
none but the election Judges can
furnish it, and they are not al
lowed to tell how he votes, If every
voter knew tina. there was no pos
sible chance even for the election
Judges to find out how he voted it
would often change the results of
precincts and save poll hucksters
of Dragging about how they voted
us. Their persistaut curiosity and
advice is annoying as well as en-
barrassing. [ have often won.
dered whether Bill Nye was tick
led or disguised with the univer-
sal but silly system of trucking
for votes around the polls, when
he wrote the country is very
healthful, meaning Western North

ballot. II %g'slatlve Representa-

sideration. Two years hence let's

with her pistol Sir Charles only
laughed. He was in high glee.
Il wouldn't care II there we're a
thousand bullets in them. / intend to
have you out Of that boat, Mistress
Debbie, and"
There was q sudden scream from
Mistress Debbie. The boat In which
she sailed met with a sudden check.
The little cutter grated upon the edge
Of the shoal. Ellen sprang to the
helm, forgetful Of everything else but
the present peril. Her boat go
ing at rapid rate had taken ground.
She hoped that the touch had been 30
light that the boat would not be
stopped and wrecked. Indeed, she
flung herself violently to starboard
and the sudden shock swung the boat
OF the shoal. There was q scraping
Of sand beneath the keel and the
little shallop slid on.
Sir Charles was close aboard. Not
being sailor, he had not noticed, and
in the excitement Of the chase, Sir
Charles offering reward upon reward
to the fishermen II they overhauled
the other boat, these men forgot the
peril, II, indeed, they knew it. For
coming down at full speed and draw.
I ing half again as much water as
Ellen's cutter, they ran hard and fast
upon the shoal.
Ellen had counted upon their doing
this very thing. She looked back with
eyes Of experience, and saw exactly
their position. Indeed, they had bare
ly escaped ripping q mast out Of the
lugger. They were rocking their boat
furiously and making every effort to
get of, but they had gone on fair and
square, the tide was on ebb, and
Ellen concluded they were fixed for
some time.
She rose in the stern sheets aud
laughed gleefully. She put, her boat
about and ran down to pass In easy
hail Of Sir Charles and his men.
"Good-by," she called, laughing
with mockery that stung him, before
an hour we shall be aboard yon ship
/ am sorry that you were baked. A stern
chase is long chase, Sir Charles, as
you will find upon the sea-"
1 Poor Sir Charles had little to say fol
himself. He felt very much cha
grined and bitterly disappointed.
"Gooy-by, Sir Charles" called Debo

CHAPTER XII.
Lady Carrinqton's Luck.

About two o'clock in the morning,

sprang up. 1t blew fitfully in cats
paws and light battling airs at first.
Ellen made the most of every posi-
bility presented, however. She was
desperately anxious to get to Ports.
mouth and she handled her boat with
oil her accustomed skill, rejoicing in
her possession of it.
She did not awaken Debbie. She
let the boat drift while she herself
hoisted the single sail 1t bore. After
An hour Of yexatious backing and
filling, she thought the breeze was
growing stronger and by four o'clock

Presently, Ellen woke up Debbie in
order to trim the ship, bidding her
crawl up to windward. Before Deb.
bic took her position, they made such
morning meal as they could on tepid
water and the remains of the hard
bread, and then settled down for their
run into the harbor. The little boat
was jumring and pitching fearfuIly,
but Debbie was almost as good a
sailor as Ellen, and she suffered no in.
convenience from the wild motion.
AS for Ellen, her heart exulted. She
had something to. do besides think,
The sailing of the boat required all
her skill and ability. 1t was no light
