having evaded the ordeal of the cut
lery, Hickey discoursed variously and
a; length upon the engrossing subject
OF Anisty, gentleman-cracksman, while
the genial counterpart OF Daniel Matt
land listened with apparent but decep-
tive apathy, and had much ado to keep
from laughing in his guests face as
the latter, perspiringly earnest, un-
folded his plans for laying the burg
lar by the heels.
From time to time, and at inter-
walls steadily decreasing. the hand of
the host sought the neck of the bottle,
inclining it carefully above the thin
stemmed glass that Hickey kept in al
most constant motion. And the de-
tective's fatuous loquacity flowed as
the contents Of the bottle ebbed.
Yet, as the minutes wore on, the
burglar began to be conscious that 1t
was but shallow well of information
and amusement that he pumped The
game, fascinating with its spice Of
daring as 1t had primarily been, began
to pail. At length the masquerader
calculated the hour as ripe for what
he had contemplated from the begin
ming; and interrupted Hickey with
scant consideration. in the middle of a
most interesting exposition.
You'll pardon me, I'm sure, II I
trouble you again for the time"
The fat red fingers sought uncer-
tainly for the timepiece; the bottle
was now empty. The hour, as an
Iounced, was ten minutes to two.
I've an engagement" invented
Anisty. plausibly, with a friend at
two. If you'll excuse me-? Garcon,
raddition!"
Then l und'stand, Mister Maitland,
we en- count on yeh?"
Anisty, eyelids dropping. tipped back
his chair trifle and regarded Hickey
with fair imitation of the whimsical
Maitland smile. Hardly, think"
why not?'-truculently.
ITO be frank with you, have three
excellent reasons. The first should be
sufficient: I'm too lazy"
Disgruntled, Hickey stared and
shook disappearing head. II was
afraid Of that; yeh swells don't never
seem to think nothin' Of yer duties to
anni'ty."

sOEE r.kE FRITTERS
SEVERAL WAYS OF MAKING
THESE TASTY ARTICLES.
aeclpes That Include Those That Are
Concocted With Oysters, currant
Jam. Pineapple, Salmon, Or
anse and Cranberry.

Plain Fritter Baiter.-Beat till light
four eggs. adding TO them four large
tablespoonfuls of sugar, half cupful
OF creamed butter. pinch OF salt, two
cupfuls-one pint-of milk and two
thirds of a cupiul of -four. Use a per-
fectly smooth frying pan. or the cakes
will stick; butter it, and when hot
pour In enough batter to cover the
bottom. When done spread with jelly.
sprinkle with powdered sugar and
serve at once on hot platter. These
may also be buttered. with a mixture
Of powdered sugar and cinnamon
spread between and over them; when
served in layers they are cut like
pie.
Oyster Fritters.-Nothing 80 appeals
to the epicure as oyster fritters; to
cupful of the liquid add one of sweet
milk, four eggs. saltspoonful OF salt
and enough -four to make stiff bat
ter; add pint of chopped oysters
and fry in deep fat. Serve at once
garnished with white celery tips.
Currant Jam Fritters.-Currant jam
fritters are a dream Of richness; make
the usual batter, and to every cupful
and one-haH OF Il add cupful Of the
jam, adding sugar to the latter before
mixing. Drop by spoonfuls from the
spoon into hot fat; sprinkle with
sugar and serve with cocoa.
Pineapple Fritters.-Pineapple frit-
ters are luscious morsel; CRATE the

Ing sufficient water to make 1t one
pint; sift one pint Of flour-using
Juice to make the batter-one-half tea
spoonful of salt and yolk of one egg.
Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat; drain.
dust with powdered sugar and serve.
Salmon Fritters.-The salmon frit-
ters are most appetizing and are more
substantial than those of fruit; they
are made by stirring into the plain
batter enough boned salmon to make
one-half the quantity of batter; drain
on unglazed brown paper and serve
on lettuce leaves or garnished with
parsley.
Orange Fritters.-The richness and
flavor Of the orange fritter is pro-

Hickey's eyes gDstened. "Of course,

gested. significantly
Anisty's hand sought his pocket
How much?"
We'll. l guess l can leave that to
you. Yeh ouehttuh know how bad yeh
want the matter hushed"
"As calculate it, then fifty ought to
be enough for the boys; and fifty will
repay you for your trouble"
The end of Hickeys expensive PAN
e.ela was tilted Independently toward
the ceiling. Shouldn't wonder if it
would" he murmured, gratified.
Anisty stuffed something bulky back
into his pocket and wadded another
something-green and yellow colored
Into little pill, which he presently
fiicked carelessly across the table. The
detectives large notified paw closed
over it and moved toward his waist
coat.
"As l was sayin," he resumed, I'm
sorry yeh don't see yer way to givin'
us hand. But p'rhaps yeh're right,
Still, If the citizens d only give us a
hand onct in a while"
"Ah, but what gives you your liv-
ing, Hickey?" argued the amateur
sophist. What but the activities of
the criminal element? If society COM
bined with you for the elimination of
crime. what would become of your
job?"
He rose and wrung the dsconsolate
one warmly by the hand But there,
l am sorry to have to hurry you away.
Now that you know where
to find me, drop in some. evening and
have a cigar and chat I'm in town
good deal, off and on, and always
glad to see friend"
At another time, and with another
man, Anisty would not have ventured
to play his catch so roughly but, as
he had reckoned, the comfortable state
OF mind induced by an unexpected ad-
dition to his income and a quart of
champagne, had dulled the official ap-
prehensions Of Sergt. Hickey.
Mumbling vague acceptance of the
too-genial invitation, the exalted de.
tective rose and ambled cheerfully
down the room and out of the door.
Anisty lit another cigarette and
contemplated the future with satisfac
tion. AS diplomat he was inclined to

things taken under mature considera.
ton, the conclusion was inevitable that
he was the very devil of fellow. With
what consummate skill he had played

Maitland (when eventually liberated)
would be at pains to keep his part OF
the affair very much in shadow.

Several members OLA party of 60
automobiles, who started from At

Angeles, Cal, had O. narrow escape
from serious injury about ten miles
from this city. A cloudburst descend

SO heavy that the automobilists could
hardly see a dozen feet before them.
Then came a rush of wind and an
enormous tree fell right in front of the
leading car. The front wheels ran up
on the fallen tree and the motorists
were delayed for about an hour while
the tree was being removed from the
road.
Allen Griffen, justice Of the peace
of Carroll county sentenced a negro,
named Frank Washington to serve 2
years and months in the House of
Correction. The commitment is said
to be the queerest ever exhibited in
court; it neglected to state that the
prisoner had waived a jury trial but
stated that Washington made an "as-
suit on several parties by throwing
stones and using profane language;
also that the affiant lis legal officer
Of the State OF Maryland contrary to
law" Washington was released by
the Baltimore City Court on writ
Of habeas corpus.

An Appeal to Common Sense

will prove that honest values are much
more satisfactory than exaggerated
value claims. The store that is always
offering stupendous bargains in buggies
and carriages doesn't appeal to your
common sense but to your credulity
You will be far wiser and do better to
come here where honest values are quot
ed and common sense prices asked.

10 The Democrats Of Carroll Coun

To The Democrats Of Carroll Coun-
Since announcing my candidacy for
the nomination Of States Attorney, +
have received many assurances Of
support at the coming primaries,
which expressions OF confidence and
interest are both encouraging and
gratifying.
I find that this year voters are
asking candidates some straightfor-
ward questions. They are asking,
Have you held public Office before?
II you have been candidate for pub
lie Office heretofore and did not re-
ceive the nomination OF the party,
did you then, after the nominations
we're made, faithfully support the par
ty nominees?
In the elections or 1909 and 1910,
the Democracy Of Carroll County by
their votes certainly said 10 no IN
mistakable language. that the people
who do the voting demand the right
and privilege of making the nomina-
lions and they emphasized the fact
that men who have heretofore held
public office are not entitled to nom
nations above the men who have but
equal claim to the Office and have not
been nominees. The people demand
that faith in the party success and
loyal work for the nominees shall
have been the test by which candi
dates are to be judged.
Personally I place party success
above my own individual candidacy.
prefer the success of the Democratic
party above my own and believe and
trust III the good Judgment and sense
OF a square deal Of the people of this
County IL you, my fellow Democrats
find upon investigation that L measure

the candidates this year, / trust
