PENNSYLVANIA BRYAN'S.
Will Swing Into Line With Other
 States, Says Anti -Guffeyist.

Denver, July 5.-"Pennsylvania will swing into line with the other states for Bryan" declared former Congress- man James Kerr of that state soon af- ter his arrival today. At least forty of our votes are favorable to him and I feel confident that when the minority discover the situation they will wheel into line"
 Being asked regarding the situation with reference to the national commit teeman from Pennsylvania, Mir, Kerr replied:
 we must have new deal there; we must have man on the national committee who represents the senti- ment of the real democracy of tho state. Col Guffey does not meet that requirement, They say he should be upheld because he makes liberal con tributlons to campaign funds. That s the very reason why he should be re-

On the wide veranda the orchestra

Making a Match.

EScS$S$S>SSz$$SSSS <SSSSc$S<SSScs<ScSSS
copyright, 1908, by American Press Asso-
ciation.]
Mrs. Hunniman's hobby was match
making. When Mr.. Charles Edwin
Lupton took up his residence in the
city Of Mrs. Hunniman's home and
presented a letter Of Introduction to
her, her first thought was how to pre-
sent him to society, the second how to
present him with wife. She de-
termined to invite the social leaders
to meet him at dinner and to give him
for table companion lady, also a
newcomer, in whose social preferment
she took a deep interest
Mr.. Lupton was a man Of forty, in
tellectual, good looking, well to do and
of aristocratic mein. He had been
abroad for some time, and Mrs. Hunni-
man knew nothing Of his antecedents
except that he was vouched for in the
highest terms in his letter of introduce
ton. But no one would mistake him
for anything else than a gentleman.
Miss Overlander, whom Mrs. Hunni-
man designed for Mr. Luptons wife,
was thirty-two years old and still a
beautiful woman. But friend of Mrs.
Hunniman told some one, who told 9th
ers, that Miss Overlander was not
Miss Oyerander at all.
When the dinner guests were assem-
bled in the drawing room, Mrs. Hunni-
man took Mr.. Lupton's arm and led
him to the lady beside whom he was to
sit at table. There was something so
distinguished in both Mr.. Lupton's
and Miss Overlander's person and
manner that the hum of conversation
ceased, and all eyes were fixed upon
the couple. Both bowed low, the man
made some casual observation, the
woman replied by an asserting nod,
the guests resumed their chat. and not
long afterward all passed into the din
ing room.
There is one thing that matchmakers
who are real matchmakers never do
They carefully abstain from any word
tons to the objects of their designs.
Mrs. Hunniman had thus abstained in
the present case, though it had been
| whispered among the dinner guests
that she had intentions concerning Mr.
Lupton and Miss Overlander, and dur
ing the dinner the couple were the re-
cipients of curious glances. The con-
versation between the two seemed at
first a trifle constrained, and Mrs.
Hunniman was not especially encour-
aged as to the matter she had in view
The lady seemed not especially at
tracted to her dinner companion, who
showed trifle of embarrassment con-
sequent upon her GOODNESS, and when
shortly after the soup she entered into
conversation with the gentleman sit
| ting on her other side Mr.. Lupton

and this brother of mine." he asserted.
"And how is that:' she asked.
''Follow suit" said he.
Her brows wrinlsled in a perplexed
frown. Il don't exactly catch your
meaning" she said.
Cuyler suddenly leaned toward her.
There was something in his eyes that
brought quick flush to her cheeks.
Lets not permit these other people
to have all the happiness in the world.
Let's reserve little for ourselves
said he.
Her head was turned from him.
Presently he saw her shoulders shake
convulsively. At the same time she
arose from the bench
"I'm-Pm going down to the pond"
she faltered. still refusing to look at
him. "Please, please, stay here and
don't come until l call YOU"
"Just minute. Elinor," he pleaded.
Il wanted to say
But with a little imperious gesture
she moved away, leaving him there
somewhat mystifed and decidedly an
cry.
He sat down again on the rustic
seat, drew out cigarette and began
smoking furiously. When it was burn
