Cranston picked up the locket and hur-
lied after the girl, but during that mo-
ment In which he stopped to pick the
Jewel from the floor of the ferryboat
she was swept away in the press of
passengers.
He was certain that this particular
girl had dropped the trinket, for he
had left the ferryboat behind her and
he had heard the tinkle Of the locket
as it struck the planks.
Cranston was decidedly interested in
her. Once before he had seen her in
a street car, and she had haunted his
memory for days. On this occasion
che had completed her conquest, and it
was man very much in love who had
followed her from the boat in the hope
that something might occur to enable
him to speak to her.
He might save her from being run
down in the traffic, or she might slip,
or any one of hundred things might
happen which would break the ice Of
convention and permit Cranston to take
the plunge into uncOnvent1Onaltty.
And now something had happened, but
to his dismay Cranston found that it
did not profit him greatly, though per-
haps in the long run it might. The
locket was Of gold, plainly chased and
Of no very great intrinsic value. but
still it might be valued for its associa-
lions. Cranston opened the case and
was dismayed to find there the picture
of two small children.
It was just such locket as young
matron might wear, and Cranston re-
garded the pictures dolorously. The
girl did not suggest a matron, yet why
else should she carry with her the pic
lures Of two little children?
His hopes rose again when in an
swer to his advertisement he received

the face, while Mr.. Nunez by inclina-
ton and habit invariably turned his
back on trouble.
But If he had succeeded in ignoring
disagreeable things for forty years he
could not ignore Ariella. She said to
him bluntly:
Either you or !, papa. dear, will
have to 60 to work"
Mr.. Nunez shrugged his shoulders
and gently famed away the cloud Of
cigar smoke which enveloped him.
II will 60 to Uncle Alfredos," he
said. -, 49,:
To go to Uncle Alfredos meant a
small loan described as temporary, but
which was actually permanent. It
would not solve the problem, and so
Ariella advertised for gentlemen
dodgers.
Then it happened that the pretty
Spanish girl added to her list Of admir-
ers. who were mostly HCubans with no
wish to become zAmericanized, two
genuine Americans, Walter Brown and
Henry Vincent.
They had not been in the house a
week before each recognized a rival In
the other. Thereupon each, according
to his nature, adopted the method Of
wooing most likely to twin out. -
Brown, who had a smattering Of Span
ish customs, courted Pepe as the short
est cut to his daughters affections.
Vincent went straight to the point and
saw Ariella as often as he could.
From the first the chief obstacle was
Pope, the young looking, white haired
father. He warmly supported the pre-.
tensions of Brown, and whenever that
gentleman spent an evening at home
he had no difficulty In getting Senior
Nunez to come up to his room and

letter from Miss .Eunice Remson,
giving a detailed description of the
locket and Offering payment for the
advertisement and suitable reward.
Cranston performed solemn dance
emblematic Of Joy as he blissfully re-
garded the Miss" written in paren-
thesis. At least he was not in love
with married woman.
He made all haste to reach the Rem
son home, and as he sat in the recep-
ton room waiting for Miss Remson
he trembled with anticipation. By
this time he was almost ready to
throw himself at the feet of Miss
Remson when she entered and cry,
BE mine!" like the hero Of novel.
He was glad when Miss Remson en-
tered that he had checked his impulse,
for she proved to be a sweet faced
lady Of perhaps fifty.
"You have brought the locket?" she
asked as she motioned him to a seat.
Il am very much indebted to you"
"But are you the ownerY' he de-
manded. Il should like the pleasure
OF giving 1t to the owner"
Unfortunately that is impossible"
was the quiet reply. "Mrs. Weymer
left for her home in the west last
night"
"Mrs. Weymery' Cranston's spirits
sank again. After all, she was mar
ried. The children of the locket were
her babies. After the hopes raised by
the signature Of Miss Remson" the
phrase Mrs Weymer" seemed doubly
cruel.
"Mrs. Weymer is my niece" explain.
ed Miss Remson. Here are pictures
Of my little grandnieces from which
the miniatures in the locket were
made. I presume that you will regard
this as shficient proof Of ownership"
1T is entirely satisfactory" STAN
mered Cranston as he delivered to the
old lady the golden trinket on which
he had built such hopes. Don't speak
Of reward" he added as he saw she

CORONER'S JURY

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Quitman, Dec. 28.-After discussing the case and taking ballots for nearly four hours last night, the coronefs jury impaneled to hold an inquest over the body of Robert F. Parks, who was killed by S. Elliott Donpell Sunday night, failed to reach an agreement and was dismissed by Acting Coroner J. M. Lay.
 According to statements from relia- ble sources the jury stood five to exon- crate Donnell of blame and II to hold him responsible for the killing.
 After dismissing the jury Justice of the Peace Lay fixed DonnelPs bond at $250 and cited him to appear in his court for an examining trial tomor- row morning at 10 o'clock. Donnell made the required bond for his appear ance.
 According to evidence adduced at the coroners inquest yesterday after noon the only eyewitness to the tragedy were members of Parks fami- lily. All of these testified that Parks was unarmed at the time of the kill ing and that he had no razor, as was at first reported. No weapon of any kind was found on Parks person when the body was examined by the officers. The dead mans wife and children testified that Donnell came to the house and was engaged in scuffle with Parks when he fired. Donnell took the stand in his own behalf. He did not claim that Parks was armed, but said that he was forced to shoot in order to save his own life, as he thought Parks was trying to kill him.

 There being q quorum present, Chairman McCarty briefly stated the object of the meeting, to-wit: To select judges and clerks for the county pri- mary election to be held January 4, 1910, and stated that motions in re- gard thereto were in order. There upon J. F. Raney offered the following resolution:
 Whereas, under the present law it is the duty of this central committee to select the judges and clerks for the various precincts of the county at the coming primary election to be held on January 4, 1910;
 And whereas, for a number of years past it has been the custom for one central committeeman in each town ship to act as judge of election in Democratic primary elections, and for this reason, we believe that this com mittee is justified in assuming that the Democratic voters of the various town ships of the county selected the com mitteemen with this custom in mind, and with the view to the committee men acting as judges in their respec- tive townships;
 And, whereas, the committeeman from the various townships are inti- mately acquainted with the Democrat ic voters of their respective townships, and are better qualified to judge of the fitness of the different Democrats of their respective townships to act as judges and clerks than would be any outsider, whether a member of this committee from some other town ship or candidate or a politician; and the Democratic voters of the va rious townships have expressed their confidence in the judgment and integ- rity of the committeeman from the respective townships by selecting them to represent the Democracy of these townships in the party organization; and it is the sense of this committee that the Democratic voters of the va
