The old COW took advantage of the
gap in the fence, got into the cornheld

Hearing the racket, his wife ran, up
setting a four-gallon churn full Of
rich cream into a basket of kittens,
drowning the whole flock. In her
hurry she dropped 81 set OF teeth.

through the spilled milk in the parlor
and ruined 500 carpet During the
excitement the oldest daughter ran
away with the hired man, the calves
got out and the dog broke up eleven

the form which the proposed Lincoln
MemoTial--a memorial on the desir-

Highway, great national road from

posed by certain interests, the high

DELEGATES ELECTED
MEN CHOSEN BY DEMOCRATIC PRIMA-
RIES TO NAME THE TICKET
Convention to Be Held Monday In
Odd Fellows Hall

The Democratic primary election
last Saturday passed off very quietly.
In most of the districts there we're
no contests, and the interest therefore
was not great enough to produce any
excitement. In the Second district
(Uniontownl and the Seventh dis
trict (Westminster) there were two
sets of delegates, and both sides
worked hard to elect their men, but
there was no bad feeling, and we
have heard no charges of unfairness
on the part of the election officials or
the improper use Of money by either
side.
In the Second district the delegates
representing o. Il. Doddrer for county
treasurer defeated those favorable TO
Joseph w. Baust for sheriff.
In the Seventh district the combi-
nation OF Coonan for register of Wills,
Franklin for clerk of the court and
Hesson for sheriff defeated the COM
bination of Boyle for register and
oursler for sheriff.
The vote in the different districts
was as follows:

CHAPTER XIII.

MIR. SAUNDERS HAS A PLAN. G rlISS PELHAM'S affair with IM Thomas Saunders by this time had reached the stage where @ observers feel hesitancy about twitting the parties most concerned.
 Miss Pelham is a clever girl, much cleverer than Saunders would be if he were girl" said Britt. She's found out that he earns a thousand a year and that his mother is a very old wo- man. That shows foresight. She says she's just crazy about London, all though she doesn't know where Ham mersmith is. That shows discretion. She's anxious to see the boats at Put ney and talks like an encyclopedia about Kew gardens. That shows di- plomacy. You see, Saunders lives in Hammersmith, not far from the bridge, all alone with his mother, who owns the house and garden. It's all very appealing to Miss Pelham, who has got devilish tired of seeing the universe from a nineteenth story in Broadway"
 She's a very nice girl" agreed Bob by Browne.
 "A very saucy one," added Depping- ham, who had come a severe cropper III HIS SlHSle dtlcIupI IO lHleTeSI AcT au a mild irritation.
 "She's off with Saunders now," went on Britt. That's why you can't find him, my lord. If you really want him, however, I think you can reach him by strolling through the lower end of the park, but don< fail to shout.''
 "I do want him, confound him! want to ask him how many days there are left before our time is up on the island. Demmed annoying that I can't have legal advice when I''-
 How many days have you been here?''
 How the devil should I know? That's what we've got Saunders here for. He's supposed to tell us when to go home and all that sort of thing. you know"

We can't call 'em out of the sky as Chase did last night. Lucky beggar! That fellow Chase is ripping, by love! That's what he is. I wish he'd open up his heart bit and ask us into that devilish American bar of hfs."
 "He owes us something for the war. ship we delivered to him last night said Bobby. He has made good with his warship story, after all, thanks to the Kings Own and Britt.''
 And the fairy princess" added Lady Deppingham.
 II am doubly glad I came if you in clude me in the miracle" said Ge nevra, shuddering a little as she looked at the lounging natives. Isn't it rath CT more of a miracle that should come upon mine ancient champion in this unheard of corner of the globe?"
 ''1'd like to hear the story of Chase and his adventures in the queens gar den,'' reminded Bobby Browne.
