Case county lapssd long enough
to vote its county highway engi-
neer out of Office at the late elec-
ton and the Harrisouyille Demo-,
crat comments: "The Office OF
highway engineer in Cass county
was abolished by q majority OF
"a votes against it. This is the
small majority worked out OF q
total vote Of 2.631 cast on the
proposition, and the exceedingly
small majority against it has
caused the friends Of the. office to
regret that they did not work
harder and overcome such small
figures. The defeat Of the ques-
ton was due probably to q mis-
understanding Of. the merits Of
the proposition all the way
around. Those who recognized
its merits in some communities
did not do the work for il that
they were capable Of, because
they felt It hopeless. Within the
next year there will perhaps be
an awakening to the fact that in
abolishing the Office of county
highway engineer the county has
taken . backward step, and ii 10

course killed and the vehicle smashed

When it was all over the police ap-
peared and served summonses on
those concerned.
For long time the summonses could
not be heard, the operators having
gone to Africa to find another sensa-
tional picture. Finally, however, the
case came on before the Lorient police
court, and the judge, whose comments
were more caustic than the punish
ment, inflicted the maximum fine pro-
vided by the Grammont law, which,
however, was only matter of three
dollars.
The cinematograph company was
declared responsible for the costs,

took the photographs was acquitted

through the open port at the gray
vista of sea.

my voice shaking to the memory Of it..
1T was the hell of the great ocean

AS the Ell Cid sped on her way up
the Patagonian coast my strength
came rapidly back, and l soon found
my way on deck, where, wrapped
against the chill of the wind, 1 passed
much time talking with Doris, seeing
De Nova and Kelly now and then.
Celeste was often with us, her eyes
roguish as ever, but her face thin and
white. Once, when We Glanced to be
left alone together, l undertook to
question the girl.
What is the matter between you
and De Nova, Celeste? Have you two
fallen out?"
She tossed her head. flashing her
eyes at me.
II not know we ever fall in" she
said, pouting prettily He YER nice

head roguishly, Il have very good

She shrugged her shoulders, her
teeth cleaning.

"But De Nova? How does he
take it,"
"Pah! he get over it; l know &c

l glanced aft in the direction she
pointed. Within the companion stood
the debonair mate, his little black
mustaches curled jauntily upward, his
teeth merrily glistening, as he smiled
down upon a rosy-cheeked damsel,
whom l recognized as the stewardess,
My companion patted her little foot
on the deck.
"Pah! did / not tell you, monsieur?
know re sailor"
She swept away with the swift
movement of a bird, and 1 turned my
face about to perceive Marsden stand
ing silently beside me. He drew up
a deck chair and sat down at my side.
His grave face and manner led me to
speak first.
Il have been wondering" l said,
slowly, whether you intend to report
us as soon as you make land. No
doubt you heard the story of the Sea
