Bob is the prosaic name OF a horse that
pulls the wagon OF a downtown candy
manufacturer. Although he Is a docile AMI
mai ordinarily, he wears a muZZle. for
which there Is reason. Bob has a deep
seated prejudice against boys. And he
knows a boy when he sees him. A man,
woman or a girl can pet the knowing horse
and he doesn't mind a bit. But let a boy
come near him, and he becomes wild, and
before the muzzle was placed on him he
tried TO bite several boys. The driver eN-

Hunnewell, Kas., April A. Mrs.
Ella Wilson is now Mayor of this

she and o. M. Akers we're tied for

that the two candidates draw lots
for the office. But that did not az =

Mrs Wilson could race a man to a
tie she ought to have the office.
Therefore the judges of the election
declared her elected.
Now she says she is going to clean

CONVERSATION, BurChard found himself
relapsing painfully into silence every
little while.
The more he thought of the situa-
ton the more indignant Burchard
grew. BY the time he said good even
ing he was able to give Sylvia the
frostiest sort of nod and barely to
touch the tips of her fingers. The
surprise In her eyes was succeeded
by flicker of something else, which
was quickly hid by her lowered lids.
Burchard would have been a good deal
surprised II he had known that in
stead Of dragging herself slowly up
the stairs to weep over his cruelty
Sylvia dropped down on the bottom
step when the front door closed and
laughed.
Naturally Burchard called the next
evening to atone for the GOODNESS of
his good-by. Sylvia was wearing a
particularly large bunch of violets.
which he eyed Indignantly.
Il love Violets," Sylvia said alb
sently, patting them. You can al
most smell these!"

wildered.
They're artificial" Sylvia explain
ed. Did they fool your"
The bound of relief that Burchard's
heart gave when he found Gillmyer
had not sent the flowers was perfectly
evident. but Burchard was too upset
to grasp the fact. He was conscious
OF an inner triumph when he left at
1880 that he had had the field to
himself. But these triumphs were
few, for Gillmyer bobbed up at all
sorts Of moments.
HE knows so few people in town"
Sylvia said once. And, really, he's
awfully nice. don't you think, Ted"
Fine chap" agreed Burchard, with
a sensation of swallowing red-hot
Goals.
The worst of II was that Gillmyer
really was a fine chap. He broke
into the Sunday night chatting dish
suppers that Burchard had been wont
to enjoy with Sylvia, and he cut up
the cheese and beat the eggs as
though that had always been his duty.
Between whiles Gillmyer invited
Sylvia to go to the theater and
brought her books and candy as
though there was no reason why he
shouldn't The little ranking jabs
attached to this phase of the situation
was that there really was no reason.
Yet Burchard felt outraged.

his dismay that Sylvia had gone out

1t amazed him that Sylvia should
show no trace of contrition, shame
or concern about the manner In which
she was treating him. She acted as
though she was perfectly all right
and appeared to have no uneasiness
over Burchard's acquired gloom. On
the contrary, she seemed to be having
decidedly good time That she ac-
tually could enjoy Gillmyers society
was an agonizing blow 10 Burchard.
His mind was such mixture of I'M
happiness and bewilderment that he
did not even try to figure out a solu-

He was agreeably surprised when
he called one evening TO find that
Gillmyer was not present. He took
his old chair, but sat on the extreme
edge because Il really wasn't all his

WHEN HE
WOKE UP

II was a surprise 10 Burchard when
he dropped I'm to call upon Sylvia to
ind a strange young man occupying
his special chair and acting quite as
much at home as though he belonged
there by right.
Burchard had been calling on Syl-
via for months. even years, and had
sat In that particular chair innumer-
able times. A sensation Of being i'll
used and injured surged through his
soul as he bowed with stern cordially
to the young man.
Mr.. Gillmyer," Sylvia was saying
sweetly, rs a brother of my old
school friend, Dot, of whom you've
heard me talk so often, Ted. He's
come to Chicago to go into business.
Isn't that delightful"
Lovely" agreed Burchard There
really was nothing else that he could
say Speech seemed to have been
smothered within him by that first
wave of surprise which had over
whelmed him.
Try as he might to enter into the
conversation, Burchard found himself

But it was too good to last. Reorgani-

FRANK CABLE ALIVE;
WHO IS DEAD MAN?

With Frank Cable alive and well in
Pendleton, with Steve Cable alive and
well at Pullman, last September the
mystery surrounding the death of an
unidentified man near Viola several
months ago is deeper than ever.
1t is evident however, that the body
is not that of either of the Cables,
although the Identifying marks in the
description of Frank Cable tally so
closely as to be almost unbelievable.
A Pendleton dispatch, received to-
day, says:
"This is the second time they have
had me murdered" said Frank Cable,
when told this afternoon his dead
body" had been found near Viola,
Idaho, and identified by former
sweetheart and others. In addition to
his own statement wired to Sheriff
Taylor by the sheriff at Moscow, Idaho
he is also in receipt of message from
his brother, David Cable of Pullman,
and in response to this message will
leave Saturday morning for the home
of his sister at Rockford. Cable did
not exhibit surprise when the news
was broken to him.
'He says that while he was living in
Carolia his parents were wired that
he had been killed by shot through
the head. Then, as now, it developed
that he was far from the scene of the
tragedy.
"He insists there was no mystery
with his leaving Viola Ac-
eording to his story he and a cousin,

Victims Sue Mcnamara.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8.-"Let them
20 to it," exclaimed James Mcnamara
in his cell late yesterday afternoon,
when deputy sheriff served him with
papers making him defendant in civil
action brought by relatives of Robert
Sawyer, a telegraph operator who lost
his life when the Times building was
destroyed. The damages demanded are
$4,000.
The Mcnamara brothers were sitting
in their cell smoking when James was
served.
The original action was brought
against the Times-Mirror company;
the Los Angeles Gas and Electric cor
poration; Western Union telegraph
company and a number of John Doe
defendants, of which Mcnamara was
one. He was included because the
principals in the action desire to show
that McNamara's pleading guilty does
not relieve others of responsibility.

| Steve Cable, planned to come to
Pendleton, and, missing TIE train at
Viola, were driven to Pa1ouse by ].
W. Clawson, with whom they had
been living. Leaving Clawscn stand
ing on the depot platform, he two
cousins planned to come to Pendleton.
Frank said he stopped and went to
work fer Walter Planting, five miles
north Of town, while Steve went to
Weiser. Frank has been here ever
since"
Since this later development the
mystery is deeper than ever. People
who have followed the case are COM
pltely at sea to account for the pres
ence of the body, and there is still
much wonder as to what became of
Clawson and his family.
Clawson was the uncle with whom
the Cable boys lived. He suddenly
disappeared one night last February,
leaving behind partly paid-for home,
his chickens, and some furniture.
Since that time nothing has been
heard from them, and R. B. Hately of
Pullman, Clason's wife's father, de-
clares he has not heard word from
them since the alleged disappearance.
The first theory advanced, when the
body was believed to be that of one
of the Cables, was chat Clawson
might have knowledge of the death,
but later developments not only deep
en- the mystery of the body's identity,
but seem to leave not even a logical
theory for his sudden abandonment of
his home
