KENT FOR DIRECT PRIMARY

Want the New Castle County Demo-
Gratis and the Sussex County Demo-
Gratis to Adopt the Same Plan
The Democrats of Kent County
have declared for direct primaries.
The Kent County Committee, whose
chairman is about to retire, met in
Dover and adopted several resolu-
tions bearing on this point, as a re-
suit of which all candidates for Re-
preventative and Senator in the
General Assembly, if not for State
and county Offices, will hereafter
have to appear on the primary
ticket and run the gauntlet of the
primary elections. The Kent Com
mittee also adopted resolution adj
dressed to the Democratic Com
mittee of New Castle and Sussex
Counties urging that the Democrats
of these two counties also adopt
the direct primary plan. Hitherto it
has been the custom in Kent county
for a few men TO select delegate
states which they present to the
voters at the primaries on the fol-
lowing day or the following Satur-
day. Now the names of those for
whom the delegates will vote will
have to appear on the ticket, ex-
cept for the minor county Offices.
1t will also, it is said, bring the
election of United States Senator
down to a direct focus before the
voters and will put them in direct
touch with public questions.

to exchange his for one of them.
He also informed the hotel man that
be was in hurry to get to Middle

and drove off. Truitt walked a mile
to the nearest telephone and called

CHAPTER X.
Room ComnaniOnS.

Some time later the judge was
aware of step on the path beyond
his door, and glancing up, saw the tall
figure of man pause on his thresh
old. A whispered curse slipped from
between his lips. Aloud he said:
"Is that you, Mr.. Mahaffy?'' He got
no reply, but the tall figure, propelled
by very long legs, stalked into the
shanty and a pair of keen, restless
eyes deeply set under high, bald
head were bent curiously upon him.
II take it I'm intruding," the new
conner said sourly.
"Why should you think that, Solo.
mon Mahaffy? When has my door been
closed on you?" the Judge asked. but
there was guilty deepening of the
flush on his face. Mr.. Mahaffy glanced
at the jug, at the half.emptied glass,
lastly at the judge himself.
"You seem to be raising tirst-rate
hell all by yourself"
ooh, be reasonable, Solomon. You'd
gone down to the steamboat landing, y
said the Judge plaintively. BY way OF
answer, Mahaffy shot him contemp,
tuous glance. Take chair-do, Solo
mont" entreated the judge.
when did l ever sneak jug into
my shanty?" asked Mahaffy sternly,
evidently conscious of entire rectitude
in this matter.
II deplore your choice Of words Sol
omon," said tho Judge. "You know
damn we'll that if you'd been here |
couldn't have got past your place with
that jug! But let's deal with condi-
tons. Here's the jug with some liquor
left in there's a glass. Now what
more do you want?"
Mr.. Mahaffy drew near the table.
'Sit down." urged the judge.

hairy. J
IF it's any satisfaction to you,
do" admitted the judge.
"You ought to- Mahaffy drew for.

whats the news from the landing?
Mahaffy brought mis- fist down on
the table.
81 heard the boat churning away
round back of the bend, then / saw
the lights, and she tied up and they
tossed off the freight. Then she
churned away again and her lights go1
back of the trees on the bank. There
was the lap of the waves on the, shore
and was left with the half-dozen mis-
cradle loafers who'd crawled out to
see the boat come in. That's the news
six days week."
BY the river had come the judge
tentatively hopeful, but at heart ex'
pecting nothing, therefore immune to
disappointment and equipped for fail
ure. BY the river had come Mr.. Ma
haffy, as unfit as the judge himself,
and for the same reason, but sour and
bitter with the world, believing always
In the possibility of some miracle of
regeneration.
At the judges elbow Mr.. Mahaffy
changed his position with nervous sud-
denness. Then he folded his long arms.
"You asked if there was any news,
Price; while we were waiting for the
boat a raft tied up to the bank; the
fellow aboard of it had man he'd
fished up out of the river, man who'd
been pretty well cut to pieces"
"Who was he?" asked the Judge.
Nobody knew, and he wasn't con-
scious. l shouldn't be surprised if he
never opens his lips again. When the
doctor had looked to his cuts, the fell
low on the raft cast of and went on
down the Elk"
Il occurred to the Judge that he him
self had news to impart. He must &C
count for the boys presence.
