at once, made a half turn, and darted
of, while the astounded policeman,
making one wild clutch in the air,
managed to catch his toe against the
PROSTATE form of the baron, and fell
heavily upon him. The grunt with
which the baron hailed the advent of
the officer upon his stomach was a
fitting anti-climax to the thud of his
earlier fall.
the second policeman sprang eagerly
to intercept him. Brockett, glancing
back in full flight, saw the predica-
ment of the Cuban, and, hating for an
instant. shouted. Slide. Ramon,
slide!"
Solano went to the pavement in a
compact, moving mass, and shot along
the stones, feet first. The oncoming
shoes caught the policeman on the
legs. He rose like some light and Joy
GUS bird, shot through the air with a
howl Of dismay, and joined the popu-
lar assembly on the stony ground. Be-
fore any Of the three fallen men could
pull his senses together or eve strug-
gle to his feet, Brockett and Solano
had turned the nearest corner, lodged
up an alley, and headed down a side
street. AS they ran they heard hoarse
bellowings, the shrilling of whistles.
and the thudding of clubs upon the
pavement, but the sounds grew faint
er, fainter, faded to a whisper and
died away. The boys pulled up in the
shadow of a f1at-building, and regained
their wind.
I'm sorry for the big German" re-
marked Brockett. THAT bump will
keep him in bed a week, If it doesn't
cripple him for life. It's a vicious
trick, a DEVILS own bit of work, but l
couldn't see any other chance. What

"You slid beautifully, Ramon
laughed Brockett as they resumed
their march, jogging along at a fairly
rapid gait. IF you had only slid home
that way when We needed it on about
ten afternoons l could mention, we
could have saved a flock of games"
The Cuban flushed, and then laughed
back at his friend.
This was a different occasion, Har-
ry. l felt more as If l were sliding
at an umpire this time. Somehow or
other I never could bear the idea of
spiking an inf1elder, and that's why

The baron's hand shot lightning
fast into Brockett's inside pocket, and
emerged clutching a small, thin wal
let. Baron Zollern was not only a
Hercules and an able general, but
something of a master in the art of
aegerdemain.

Solano was already moving for
ward, with a vague notion of an at
tack upon the policeman, when there
was another clatter of feet from the
rear. A second policeman was COM
ing up. Hating about twenty feet
away, this officer took stock of the
conditions and, grinning cheerfully,
awaited the call of his partner.
Brockett had to do the fastest
thinking of his life. An explanation

The negroes were given names at the
gate. They then repaired to the
polling place, and in many instances
forgot their names, and to remedy
this defect in the system they were
given slips of paper with their names
appearing upon them 1t appears
that DR.. G. r. Busk9rk, a Democratic
election commissioner, made an eff
fort to prevent some of these negroes
from voting. Thereupon the plan
was changed, and Postmaster Hat
field would stand at the gate and he
was occasionally relieved by, man
by the name OF Harmon AS the me-
groes would approach the door of the
polling place they would shout out

CONGRESS SAYS INTENT
WAS TO COMMIT FRAUD.
This man by the name of Har-
mon" referred to in the report of
the House elections committee as
having assisted in these fragrant
frauds, is at the present time one
of the Republican nominees for mem
Der of the legislature from Nc
Dowell county and was on the ticket
for which Dr. Hatfield was working
on the day Of the primary election
when Hatfield was nominated for
Governor and Harmon was nomin-
ated for the House of Delegates.
AS to DR.. Hatfields part in the
elections Of two years ago in Nc
Dowell county, the same committee
of the House Of Representatives re-
ported to Congress in the same case
as follows:
"The testimony shows that the
president of the county court, one Dr.
H. d. Hatfield, who is also president
of the Senate of West Virginia, re-
fused to appoint challengers for. the
Democratic party at the various vot-
ing precincts Of Mcdowell county, al
thought the law of West Virginia
seems clear that the county chair
men Of the two leading political par
ties shall dominates and the county
court shall appoint challengers Of
election. The testimony shows that
this same Dr. Hatfield was very
active in the actual conduct OF the
election in Mcdowell county, and
the refusal to appoint Democratic
challengers raises strong presump-
ton that the conduct of the election
was to be neither fair nor honest.
THE circumstances are all strong
as showing a deliberate intention to
commit fraud in the interest of the
contestee."
