CAMPAIGN PROGRESS
Results In Wisconsin Still Mixed
News in Other Quarters

Instead of becoming clarified the
situation in Wisconsin between viii
son and Clark as to delegates is be-
coming more mixed. The only thing
cleared up yesterday was the result
in the 9th district in which both
the Wilson district delegates were
elected. On the other hand, the 9th
district which had been given to viii
son went over into the doubtful col
umn The Sth district also remained
doubtful. Last night Wilson had 10
delegates certain including the dele
gate at large. Clark had four district
delegates certain. Two were in
doubt. This with one Independent
makes up the 26 delegates from the
state.

Funeral of Convert and RecIuse.-
With but one immediate relative and
a few religious friends in attendance,
the remains of the late DR.. Finlow
Alexander, who once occupied con-
siderable share of public attention,
were laid to rest on March 30th, in
the Cote des Neiges Cemetery, Mon
treal, with Catholic ceremonies. The
transformations funeral ended the
career of a man who had been in
turn a medical doctor, minister of
the Anglican Church, and Catholic
recluse. He left the medical profess
sion for the ministry, identifying him
self with the Anglican Church. His
first mission assigned him was at
Cobourg, Ont. Shortly afterward he
was transferred to Guelph. He next
accepted a call to Fredericton, N. B.,
where for eighteen years he was Sub
Dean of the Anglican Cathedral, under
the late Bishop Medley. 1t was the
conversion of the late Cardinal New
man to Catholicism which Influenced
DR.. Alexander. The Sub-Dean resigned
his position and went to Montreal in
1894, where he was received into the
Catholic Church by the late Arch
bishop Fabre. Since that time he has
practically lived in retirement.

Yancy breathed a sigh OF relief. A
rifle was placed in Yancy's hands.

and turning away he struck OIL
through the pine woods. A brisk walk
OF twenty minutes brought him to the
OK Road forks.
He had not long to wait, for pres.

"Yes, it's Uncle Bob. You can light

'Leggo them horses!" said Mr..

still pleasantly.
Hannibal instantly availed himself
of the invitation. At the same mo.

whip, and his horses reared wildly.

Seeing that the boy had reached the
ground in safety, Yancy relaxed his
hold on the team which instantly
plunged forward. Then as the buggy

wheels into the road, where he pro.

general ever said on the matter"
The old general was borne across
what had once been the west lawn to
his resting-p place In the neglected acre
where the dead and gone of his race
lay. and the record OF the family was
complete. as far as any man knew.
Then Crenshaw, assisted by Bob
Yancy, proceeded to secure the great
house against intrusion.
They passed from room to room Sc
curing doors and windows, and at
last stepped out upon the back porch.
"Hullo!" said Yancy. pointing.
There on bench by the kitchen
door was Hannibal Wayne Hazard

Crenshaw.
II reckon you'd rather drop q word

something OF the nature of his friends

"A woman ought to be boss In her
own house." saitf Crenshaw.
"Feelin' the truth of that. I've never
married, Mr.. John. But was going
to say. what's to hinder me from
toting that boy to my home:"
III you'll take the boy. Bob, you
shan't lose by It,"
Yancy rested a big knotted hand

Come. wake up, sonny!" The child
reused with start and sta ed into
the strange bearded face that was
bent toward him. Its yo' Uncle
Bob" continued Yancy In q wheedling
tone. Here. give us the spo'tin' rifle

Yapcy balanced the rifle on his
great palm and his eyes assumed a
speculative cast.
II wonder what's to hinder us from

The chtld's blue eyes grew wide.

steadily from Mr.. Yancy's bearded

mo, certainly not; the boy was
merely left with Yancy because Cren-
shaw didn't know what else to DO
with him"
Get possession of him. and II l
don't buy land here I'll take him west
with me" said Murrell quietly. IL
am willing TO spend five hundred dol
lars on this if necessary"
I'll have to think your PROPOSE
tion over" said Bladen.
The immediate result Of this con-
versatiOn was that within twenty-four
hours a man driving two horses
hitched to light buggy arrived at
Scratch Hill in quest of Bob Yancy,
whom he found at dinner and to
whom he delivered a letter. Mr..
Yancy was profoundly impressed by
the attention, for holding the letter
at arms length, he said:
We'll, sir, I've lived nigh on to
fcrty years. but l never got a piece

the stranger.
"You tell him I'll be monstrous

to visit Balaam's Cross Roads. Cren-
shaw gave him a disquieting opinion
as to the probable contents OF his let

Trouble at Scratch Hill.

Captain Murrell had established
himself at Balaam's Cross Roads. He
was supposed to be interested in the
purchase OF a plantation, and in COM
pany with Crenshaw visited the nu-
merous tracts OF land which the mer-
chant owned: but though he prOfessed
delight with the country he was
plainly In no haste to become com
mitted to any one OF the several prop
ositions Crenshaw was eager to sub
NIT.
The Barony would have suited
me-" he told Bladen one day. They
had just returned from an excursion
into the country and were seated in
the lawyers Office.
you say your father was a friend
of the old generals" said Bladen
Years ago, I'm the north--yes," an
swered Murrell.
Murrell regarded the lawyer In 81
le1ce for moment out of his deeply
sunk eyes.
TOO bad about the boy" he said
at length slowly.
"iIow do you mean. Captain?
asked Bladen.

lips. in the midst OF which relations
were established between the mule
and cart, and the boy quilted the
Barony for new world.
The afternoon sun waned as they
went deeper and deeper into the pine
woods, but at last they came to their
journeys end, a widely scattered set

CHAPTER n.
Captain MurreII Asks Questions.

In the deep peace that rested like
a benediction on the pine-clad slopes
OF Scratch Hill the boy Hannibal TO-
lowed at Yancy's heels as that gen
tleman pursued the not arduous
rounds OF temperate industry which
made up his daily life, for if Yancy
were no, completely Idle he was re-
sronsible for counterfeit present
ment OF idleness having most OF the
merits Of the real article.
The Barony had been offered for
sale and bought i'm by Crenshaw for
eleven thousand dollars. this being
the amount OF his claim. Some six
months later he sold the plantation
Tor fifteen thousand dollars to Ma
thaniel Ferris. OF Currtuck county.
There's money i'm tho old place,
Rob, at that figure" Crenshaw told
Yancy.
"Bladen's got an answer from them
South Carolina Quintards. and they
don't know nothing about the boy"
added Crenshaw. so you can rest
