But, although the democrats didn't win

democratic leaders, that the fight would
show up so close at the finish.
This year the democratic leaders are
taking no chances Money will be spent
all the money that can be spared
where IL will do the most good and get
out the most votes. IL there are any cute
little ways of messing up the ballot to
the befuddiement of the colored brother.
those cute little ways will all be tried.
The fifth district. We're it not for that
same colored vote. would be the strong
est. stanchest democratic district in the
state. Nomination on the democratic
ticket would be just as equivalent to
election. barring death and other abso
lutte certainties. as it is now in Texas or
Alabama.
But in the fifth district is the black
belt of Maryland. In two of the coun-
ties the cOfored voters largely OUtnumber
the whites. Consequently. when the col
ored vote is permitted to he counted-it
is always ready and willng-that is usu-
ally sufficient to determine the result.
Two years ago when Mudd had such a
close call there was long ballot,
blanket sheet that would give a college
professor brain flag 10 mark correctly,
and as result large percentage of
the colored vote was thrown out through
inaccuracies. The democrats have no
hope coming to them this year on that
score. The ballot will be small and
simple thing. containing only three OF
four names. A man could almost mark
il with his eyes shut.

The Danish fisheries union has ta-
ken the initial steps towards max
ing arrangements for q fisheries expo
sition in Copenhagen in the summer
OF 1912. It is the intention to in
vite Swedes and Norwegians to parti-
cipate. An executive committee has
already been elected. The grounds
occupied by ''the white city, last year
at TivoH, will be used. But this par
eel Of ground is too small by far, and
over one hundred acres at Amager
will be used for displaying all kinds
OF fishing tackle used in Denmark.
Large buildings will also be erected
for an International exposition of mo-
tors that may be used in fishing.
Even the harbor and canals will be
occupied by the exposition. The
Tigsdag has already voted $3.50 for
preliminary preparations, and it is
calculated that said body will appro-
pirate at least $4,000 more for the
purpose.

CHAPTER XXI.
Mr.. GiIIespie's Diversions.

In my own room drew the blinds
for greater security, lighted the desk
lamp and sat down before the packet
Gillespie had given Rosalind. It was
a brown commercial envelope, thrice
sealed, and addressed: "R Gillespie;
Personal" In corner was written
"Holbrook Papers," I turned the pack
ct over and over in my hands, reflect
ing upon my responsibility and duty in
regard to it. Henry Holbrook, in his
anxiety to secure the notes, had taken
advantage of Gillespie's infatuation for
Helen to make her his agent for pro-
curing them, and now it was for me to
use the forged notes as means Of re-
storing Arthur Holbrook to his sisters
confidence. The way seemed clear
enough, and I went to bed resolving
that in the morning I should go to
Henry Holbrook, tell him that I had
the evidence of his guilt in my posses
sion and threaten him with exposure
if he did not cease his mad efforts to
blackmail his sister.
I rose early and perfected my plans
for the day as breakfasted. A storm
had passed round us in the night and
it was bright and cool, with sharp
wind beating the lake into tiny white
caps. It was not yet eight o'clock
when left the house for my journey
in search of Henry Holbrook. The
envelope containing the forged notes
was safely locked in the vault in
which the Glenarm silver was stored.
AS I stepped down into the park
caught sight of Miss Pat walking in
the garden beyond the wall, and as
lifted my cap she came toward the
iron gate. She was rarely abroad so
early and imagined that she had been
waiting for me.
''You are abroad early, my lord"
she said, with the delicious quaint
mockery with which she sometimes
flattered me. And she repeated the
lines:
Hast thou seen ghosts? Hast thou at mid
night heard
In the winds talking an articulate word?
Or art thou in the secret of the sea,
And have the twilight woods confessed
to thee?
mo such pleasant things have hap
pened to me, Miss Holbrook."

difference was $4,900,000 in favor Of
