''Bless his dear little heart" she sobbed kissing the dirty little old Valentine over and over again.
 She pitched the orchids and Lilies of the Valley out of the window and running back down stairs she drew her chair up to the breakfast table once more-this time smiling gaily.
 You seem very happy" said her sister n-law with an abnormal, effusion which had been quite noticeable since Anita had told her that she was engaged. What is it, dear?"
 Nothing uuch, said she, handing the little white Box which contained the Dia- mond and Ruby Crescent to her sister in-law. You may have it. I've decided NOT to marry Mir. Feeber. That's why I'm so happy this beautiful Valentine Day"

 Once upon time there was pretty young girl.
 In fact, she was just 20.

 You don't happen to live with your brother and his new wife.
 Of course John was good enough as brothers go, but he kept impressing upon Anita the fact that she ought to be ''set- ted" as he called it, and have nome of her own.''
 Being of a sensitive nature, when John spoke in that peremptory tone about such serious things, Anita felt very like an interloper, although her brother had sup ported her every, single minute of her poor little 20 years of life.
 Anita had two perfectly good ''beaux, ' let 1t be said-one that lived with "The Lady Next Door" and he was exactly years old and the other lived in his Bachelor Apartments down town, and was exactly-65.

 Anita couldn't get her breath when MT.

READY TO FILL
TAGGART'S PLACE
Dixon and O'Brien Mentioned For Pc.
sition On Committee--Tageart
Makes Statement.

Washington, July lot became
known here last night that the resig.
nation of Thomas Taggart as Democra-
tic National Committeeman from In
diana, will result in Mr., Taggart's po-
sition going to Lincoln Dixon, dean Of
the Indiana delegation in Congress or
to State Auditor William II. o'Brien.
Friends of Mr.. Taggart scout the
idea that his resignation was forced
by the Bryan strength of the party. Mr..
Taggart said that his business inter
ests in Indiana are so extensive that
he is compelled to lay aside active
participation in politics. In addition
TO the French Lick resort, which Mr.
Taggart operates, he has many other
business connections in the Hoosier
State that demand his attention.
Mr.. Taggart is enthusiastic over the
nomination of Governor Marshall for
Vice President and says Wilson and
Marshall constitute a ticket that will
sweep the country this fall.
In a statement made public giving
his reasons for resigning from the Ma
tjcnal committee Mr. Taggart said:
IF the party were not united and re-
sourceful, ready to meet every emer-
gency and achieve a glorious victory
this fall, | would not for a minute con-
slider retiring from active service. ]
leave the National Committee with a
State House full of Democrats. with
12-and soon to be 13-Democratic
members of the House, two Democra-
tic United States Senators and Vice
President of the United States to the
credit of the Indiana Democracy. |
include Vice-President in this sum-
mary because Governor Marshall is as
good as elected.
81 only hope my successor will leave
as many Democrats in office as am
leaving. At the very least calculation
Indiana will give a Democratic ma
jc,ity of $4,000 this fall and will elect
the Democratic State ticket and Dem
ocratic Legislature. After having met
Governor Wilson personally at Sea
Grit | am more than ever pleased with
him This National Committee is abb
solutely of one mind in desiring to give
him the national chairman and execu-
tive campaign committee of his choice
and to aid him in every possible way"

Officials On the Scene.

The tunnel was damaged for about
250 feet. The slide started in an open
cut which is being made in connection
with the new double track tunnel now
under construction at that point, and
the increased pressure caused the
walls OF the present tunnel to cave in
and about 10000 cubic yards of rock
and earth which filled the tunnel at
the west end.
Because of work on the new tunnel
the company had anticipated that
something might occur, and conse-
quently it was closely watched, so that
hours before the slide the trains were
stopped from passing through and ar
rangements made to detour the B. &
o. trains over the new line of the West
ern Maryland road between Cumber-
land, Md, and Keystone, Pa.
A, w. Thompson, third vice presi-
dent; F, l.. Stewart, chief engineer;
Earl Stimson, engineer of maintenance
of way, and other officials, left for the
scene and arrived there last night
to superintend the work of clearing
the tunnel Seven hundred men and
three steam shovels were put TO work
this morning removing the obstruction.
Telegraph Offices were established
last night every five miles on the new
Western Maryland road and block sig
nails placed in operation to minimize
delay sas far as possible
All B. & o. trains are using the new
Western Maryland road between Cum
berland Md, and Keystone. Pa, with
but slight interruption of the SEIZED
/ ule.

army of laborers and a battery OF
steam shovels are being rushed to the
tunnel but it may be week before
the slide is cleared up. Meanwhile the
b. & o. will detour freight and pas
senger trains over the new extension
of the Western Maryland Railroad.
Early this morning two special
trains from Baltimore carrying labor
ers passed through the city for the
tunnel, and the men will assist in
cleaning it out so it can be used. The
men were in charge of Supervisor T
Mulligan, who will have charge of the
work.
On account of the trouble much in
convenience is being experienced by
the travelling public. Train No. II due
here at 1921 a. m. from Pittsburg
did not arrive until 10.47 today, and

Charleston. w. Va. July 10.--When
the Republican State Committee met
here today 10 canvass the returns OF
the primary election held June 4. Il
was learned that an effort will be made
to ascertain whether or not the cleo
tors named at the State convention
will support the nominees OF the RE-
publican convention.
In case II II found they win not the
State committee will be asked to call
a convention to nominate electors
pledged TO Taft. AT the time OF the
national convention, Governor Glass
cock was quoted as saying that the
West Virginia electors would support
Roosevelt regardless OF the nominee.
Hatfield Takes Stand.
When the committee began It's de-
alterations a stormy session was en-
In the party could be seen by every
one present, and to prevent such every
means is being resorted TO. The ques.
ton now facing the COMMITTEE is How
can harmony be brought about. and
the party placed In position TO make
a respectable showing at the polls

DR.. II. y, Hatfield. candidate for gov
ernor. appeared before the committee
and delivered a lengthy address. He
declared In plain terms that In case
OF split that he would withdraw. aud
that tls party would have 10 seek an.
other candidate. His remarks had a
profound effect on the committee. but
no action was taken.
The Taft men led by Fl. c. Ogden,

w. w. Whyte and others demand that
the Roosevelt electors withdraw with
out delay, while the Roosevelt continr
gent headed by Colonel Seymour Ed

tons, and there seems no possible
