them that the nurse had departed in
high dudgeon. They did not get any

themselves.
The night before he was to leave
Marjory came up with the maid who
brought his dinner She was so per-
fectiy lovely in clinging white dress,
open at the neck, that he had no eyes
for anything except her dainty beauty.
She finally decided that IL he would
not eat she would feed him, and they
made a great frolic Of the meal
After she had made him take the
last morsel, she decided to make him
presentable. So she washed his face,

she was so sweet. OF course she
cried-they always do-and he had to
kiss her again to comfort her. Then
she grew little saucy and tipped up
her cleft chin and looked so irresisti-
bic he simply had to-just once more.
Mrs. Metcalf came in and found her
daughter >kneeling by Phil Pembertons

Her mother was SO overcome that she
forgot her grammar and exclaimed,
why. Marjory, you've been being
kissed

alone? I should think you'd hate to

Mrs. Metcalf went and told her hus-
band, who said he was delighted-that
he would rather have her marry poor
man who promised well than rich
one who did not. Phil stayed week
longer, then begged Marjory to marry
and 60 with him. He was six feet

that he could not live without her
that loneliness would be his undoing.
So they were married, not downstairs.

the cozy room where he had first seen
her in the nurses clothes.
Mr.. Metcalf gave her away and Tom
was best man, while Mrs. Metcalf
stood very near and smiled through
misty eyes. The little bride wore the
white dress with the open neck and
looked like morning glory. In her
hair she wore no orange flowers, not
even a "sunburst, the gift of the
grOom"-but she did wear moth

Krause Leaves Meeting While La
Fever Changes His Mind-Late
Convention to be Held.

The meeting of the Republican COM
mittee, held at the office OF l.. b.
McNeal Tuesday afternoon was inter-
esting in many of its details. The
committee, as was stated in The Mir
ror Tuesday, indorsed the candidacy
of William H. Taft, for the presiden-
tial nomination. But the indorse-
ment was not secured without a
|fght.
Harry Krause. one Of the Foraker
adherents, left the meeting when the
Taft Endorsement came up. krause
refused to vote although the commit
teemen earnestly requested him TO do
SO. Chairman l.. B. McNeal, who
was thought to be Taft man refused
to vote for the Endorsement as did
Robert LeFevee. Finally LeFever
switched and voted for the indorse-
ment but McNeal stood alone. The
chairman fused and hemmed and
hawed but did not vote for the reso'
lutions.
There was a difference of opinion in
the question Of the manner of plac-
ing delegates in nomination. Mouser
interests favored the nomination OF
''slates" but some Of the committee
men object and as no agreement was
reached, the question was dropped.
Chairman McNeal thought 1t advis-
able to have an early convention in
order that many minor difficulties
might be settled but the majority, It
Is said, favored a late convention in
the county.
The Taft-Foraker fight in the coun-
ty is getting very warm and the out
come OF the battle. on which so much
depends, Is being watched with inter-
est.
