WATSON DOESN'T LIKE PLACE.

Paramount, w. Va, July 19.-Sena-
~ Watson has no intention of seek
ing the Craftsmanship of the Democ-
ratio national committee, which was
suggested by United States Senators
Johnston, Overman and Taylor at the
dinner given in their honor at Sena-
tors home Saturday night. Before
his home tonight for Wash
ington he said:
Under no circumstances could I
consider that I be selected for chair
man of the national committee. OF
course, I consider it a great honor
II have the Senators, all good Demo-
Gratis, express their preference for me
for so responsible a position, but the
thing is out Of the question. My bust
ness affairs would not permit of nv
giving TIE time and attention to party
affairs which the Craftsmanship would
necessitate, and I can not hermit nv
self to be considered for%the place. I
appreciate the kind words of those
rho suggested me for the place"

How to Make a Town.

One cannot make a town. The
newspaper cannot dol But one man
on a newspaper with the help Of ths
wide-awake men of the place, all pull
ing together can make a wide diffef-
ence In the place. Every man who
succeeds in a town is a help to it.
The more money he makes, if he
spends it, the better for the commun-
ity. The larger bust ness he builds
up, the more he advertises, hence the
more attention he bring to the town.
A man cannot build up an honorable
business in the town without heii'-
ing the country. The interest of Oaa
Is the interest Of all. No town wi,
become a business center so long rs
it's business men rely upon a few
merchant to make the effort to bring
trade to town. Too often the men
in a few lines of trade r about the
only ones that reach out for Gus
tom. Other merchants will wait "a
til these men have induced the peo-
pie to come to town and contest
themselves with trade that naturalfs
drifts to their place. A public spirit
ed man should ask himself If he is do
ing his part in attracting people &c
town to trade.-Salisbury Post.

A silence electrically surcharged
with possibilities settled down over
the qaiet room for a little while. At
the end of the pause the senator rose
and put his hand on his sons shoulder.
Il haven't a word to say" he said
slowly LAS you told me that first
day out here, son, it's your job to hew
TO the line and let the chips fall where
they may. Go ahead and do what
seems right and law abiding to you.
I'd rather go to jail twice over than
have you do anything else. Is that
what you wanted me to say?"
BlOunt dropped into chair as if the
hand on his shoulder had crushed him
and covered his face with his hands.
1t was hard-harder than even his own
predgurings had forecast il.
1t was a long minute before he stag
gered to his feet and CROPPED his way
to the door, leaving his father stand
ing before the fire, still with the hand
outstretched which had been laid in
fatherly affection upon his shoulder
When old Barnabas had helped him
into his coat and had given him his
hat he sought Patricia.
Must you go backY' she queried
when he had descended the steps to
climb stiffiy into the seat beside her.
He nodded.
your duty is cIear?"
He nodded again.
And the consequences she asked.
Il don't know" he muttered. Ruin
and disgrace for all of US, l suppose.
OF course I shall resign from the rail
road service and stand with my father
when-when the thing is done"

20 give you, but am sure you are
opening the door to lifelong sorrow
for yourself and-and-for me"
1t was the last two words that
steeled him to his purpose. Not even
for her dear sake would he turn aside
from the plain path of the oath bound
obligation. 1t struck him like blow
that the turning aside would make him
forever unworthy Of her love.
Take me back to the city as quick
ly as you can, Patricia" he said. ''or,
better still. stay here and let me have
the car. That IS my last word"
For answer she threw the speed
lever into the high gear and snapped
home the clutch. Like a prOjectile
hurled from Catapult the little tour
ing car shot away down the cotton
wood avenue, and the second race
against time was begun.

the bolt that strikes near at hand.
The approach to the mouth OF Shonoho
canyon was down a long incline with a
gentle curve near the bottom to hide
the canyon entrance until they were
within a hundred yards OF it. Blount
had a mOmentary glimpse of some
barrier-a tree, he took it to be
lying across the main road. Seeing IL,
he realized in the same instant that
Patricia was neither releasing the
clutch nor applying the brakes. After
that there was barely time to snap the
switch and TO throw the heavy glass
wind shield down before the devas-
tating crash came

Don't make me do evil that good may

am driven to do this thing, how every

ness If the necessity could be wiped
OUT
Instantly she changed her attack
'Tf L can't bride you 1 must and
you are a brave man, Evan. know,

mustn't turn cowardly now"
Nor shall t.. he countered quickly.
''But don't understand"
Don't you? Isn't It cowardly TO
strike this cruel blow IN the dark?
You know yoursfather isn't here to de-

for him to stop -the-car. But her sin
gle hearted devotion. was not to be SO
easily thwarted. 1t had not occurred
to him that he might. drive to War
trace Hall and return IN time to set
the legal machinery in motion to stop
the frauds. So when he leaned for
ward It was not to throw the electric
switch, as she feared; it was merely
TO adjust the wind shield so that the
blast Of the speed rush would not blow
them both breathless.
For fifteen miles north OF the capt.
tai the Quaretaro road is a straight

proved herself a fearless driver. Al
most before Blount realized it the
red car was among tie hills and climb
