The plea Of the Bull Moose
party in this State that those
who voted in the primary are
ahsolvcd from voting for Demo
cratic electors is a mere quibble.
Before the primary the Demo
cratic National convention had
chosen as the party,S standard
bearers Wilson and Marshall and
every intelligent voter IN the
primary knew this to be Il fact.
Therefore, we say, every man
Iuho Swore to support the noml-
nees Of the party when he vot-
ell in the Democratic primary
violates his oath when he votes
for Bull Moose electors III the
general election, inaSmuch as he
knows that thereby he is mdi
rectly voting for an Independent
candidate who iS opposed to the
Democratic nominee, Woodrow
Wilson.

would not have been so concerned
about 1t. Eventually he decided to
refer everything to Mahaffy. He

The judge gasped-he wondered IL
this were not premonition OF certain
hallucinations to which he was not a

membered Fentress and the meeting
at Boggs', something OF how the eve
ming had been spent, and spasm OF
regret shook him.
Il had other things to think of. This
must never happen again!" he told
himself remorsefully.
He was wide-awake now. Doubt
less Pegloe had put him to bed. Well,
that had been thoughtful of Pegloe-
he would not forget him-the City
Tavern should continue to enjoy his
patronage. 1t would be something for
Pegloe to boast of that Judge Slocum
Price Turberville always made his
place headquarters when in Raleigh.
Feeling that he had already conferred
wealth and distinction on the fortu-
nate Pegloe the Judge thrust his fat
legs over the side of his bed and stood
erect STOPPING he reached for his
clothes. He confidently expected to
find them on the floor, but his hand
merely swept an uncarpeted waste.
The judge was profoundly astonished.
Maybe I've got 'em on. don't re-
call taking them OFF," he thought
hopefully. He moved uncertainty in
the direction Of the window, where
the light showed him his own bare ex-

inal idea that his clothes were scat

CHAPTER xxx.-(continued.)

An hour later Pegloes black boy
presented himself to the judge He
came bearing a gift, and the gift ap-
propriately enough was square case
bottle OF respectable size. The judge
was greatly touched by this attention,
but he began, by making a most tenn
perate use of the tavern-keeper's Of
ment he was preparing took shape un-
der his hand he more and more lost
that feeling of Spartan fortitude
which had at first sustained him in

Cured to him that it would be only
proper personally to convey his thanks
to Pegloe. Perhaps he was not un-
inspired in this by Interior hopes; II
so, they were richly rewarded The
resources OF the City Tavern were
suddenly placed at his disposal He
attributed this to a variety of causes
all good and sufficient, but the real
reason never suggested itself; indeed
1t was of such perildlous nature that
the judge, open and generous-minded,
could not have grasped 1t.

black boy to remote chamber In the
kitchen wing. Here he was undressed
and put to bed. and the tavern-keep-
er, making bundle of his clothes, re-
tired from the room, locking the door
after him, and the judge was doubly
a prisoner.
Rousing at last from a heavy,
dreamless sleep the judge was aware
of faint impalpable light In his room
the ashen light of dull October dawn
He was aware, too, of feeling OF
profound depression. He knew this
was the aftermath of indulgence and
that he might look forward to forty
eight hours of utter misery of soul
and, grooming aloud, he closed his
eyes. Sleep was the thing If he coulC
compass it. Instead, his memory
quickened. Something was to hap
pen at sun-up-he could not recall
what it was to be, though he distinct
ly remembered that Mahaffy haC
spoken of this very Mahaffy
the austere and implacable, the dis
embodied conscience whose fealty t
duty had somehow survived his owl
spiritual ruin. so that he had becom,
a sort of moral sign-post, ever point
ing the way yet never going it him
self.
The Judge lay still and though
deeply as the light intensified itself
What was 1t that Mahafy had sal,
he was to do at sun-up? The yer,
hlur accented his suspicious. Prof
