little pinch Of fright engendered of the

Had he grieved himself into slumber

All! There was the moving shad-

She writhed and fought desperately
to shake herself free of this dumb
horror. The cold damp came out on
her forehead. Afterward she remem-

heavy shawl over her shoulders, put
her feet on the tiny fender and pre-

A light shone from the window
across the way. He was still at work,
then. He ought not to sit up so late.
No wonder he was looking so worn
out lately. He ought to have some
one to look after him. He never
though: of himself. He never had
time. She would talk 10 him about
keeping such late hours--if she were
not going back to Gods country next
week. Only next week! 1t was too
good to be true--and yet she sighed.
But there was NO other way. She
ought never to have come. She was
not big enough. He, too, had told her
she was not the kind. Doubtless, he
knew. And she didn't belong to any

Was that Gordon passing back and
forth in front of the window? Some.
thing must be troubling him. Was
it because Jesse Black had escaped?
But what glorious vindication of his
belief in the mans guilt had that
afternoon been given! Nothing lacked
there. Why shohld he be sorry?
Sometimes, she thought he might care
that day crossing the river for in
stance; but he was reserved-he
never said-and it was much, much
better that he did not care, now that
she was going away and would never
come back. There was nothing in all

to run away as she was. Well, but he
was man, and men were different.
And now she noticed that his head
had sunk down onto his arms. How
still he sat! The minutes passed
away. Still he sat motionless, his face
buried.
1t was dark. The yellow CLEAN
streaming out of the window only
served to make the surrounding dark
ness denser. The lamp on the table
cast pale circle Immediately in front
Of the Office. There was no other
flicker of light on the street. Into
this circle there moved a shadow. It
retreated - advanced again - glided
back in to obscurity. Was it something
alive, or did the moving of the lamp
cause the shadows to thus skip about?
But the lamp had not been moved. 1t
burned steadily in the same position.
The relaxed form Of the unconscious
man was still bent over the table.
Nothing had changed within. Prob
ably some dog locked out for the night
had trotted within the radius of light.
Maybe a cotton-tail had hoped into
the light for second. Louise did not
know whether rabbits ever came into

CITY Ordinance HeId Void.

The ordinance licensing the business
and occupation of distributing advertising
matter within the limits of the city of
Council Bluffs" will have to be amended
as the result OF a decision of Judge Wheeler
in the distrist court yesterday. Judge
Wheeler held that the ordinance in ques-
ton was void for the reason that 1t pro-
vided both fine and imprisonment as pen
atty, whereas under the state law It could
orly provide one or the other.
The question of the legality OF the or
dinance was raised in the case Of John f.
Hogle, a solicitor for a correspondence
school, who was arrested January 10. of
this year, and charged with distributing
advertising matter without a license. on
February % Hogle was fined s and costs
and appealed from the police court to the
district court. While holding the ordi-
nance void, Judge Wheeler ruled that the
requiring Of a license for distributing sd-
vertising matter was not unreasonable nor
Illegal.

HoRSEMEN BOYCOTT HUGHES
Owners Refuse to start I'm Race at
BRIIstOn Fair While Governor
f. Present.

BALLSTON, N. Y, Aug. 2L-For an hour
and a half yesterday afternoon the openly
expressed hostility Of the owners of
trotting horses taking part in the events
at the Saratoga county fair toward Gov
ernor Charles e. Hughes held up the
racing program at the fair grounds here.
Governor Hughes was a visitor at the fair
today and addressed a big gathering,
which gave him a hearty greeting and an
attentive hearing. The governors pres
ence on the grounds, however, was re-
scented by the horse owners. who have
taken exceptions to the governors efforts
to suppress betting on the race tracks of
the state. AS a consequence they refused
to start their horses while the governor
was on the grounds.
The strike" of the horsemen created an
unprecedented scene and caused the man
agement of the fair marked embarrass-
ment. When the condition became known
a sensation was created among the thou
sands of spectators on the grounds and
considerable pressure was put on the trot-
ting men to change their attitude and run
off the races as scheduled. In this the
fair officials took the lead, urging their
cases strongly upon the recalcitrent own
ers and pointing out the awkwardness OF
the situation caused by the balk in the
program. Their efforts were fruitless,
however, the owners remaining obdurate
and for an hour and a half refusing to
bulge from their position. They openly de-
clared that Governor Hughes had antag-
onized their interests and that they pro-
posed to retaliate by refusing to take
their horses out on the track while he was
present.
Those in charge of the fair threatened
to have the owners disqualified for their
refusal to come to time when the races
were called, but even this had no effect
in altering their attitude and the races
we're held UP during the entire period of
the executives visit to the fair.
Governor Hughes was scheduled to leave
here on the 1 o'clock train and shortly
before that time he left the fair grounds
enclosure.
Immediately on his departure the racing
proceeded. The lateness of the start
caused the continuance of the trotting un-
til dark this evening.
