The Wisconsin delegation to the con-

including Charles Lush. provisional
national committeeman from the state,
found itself today without a state

tion invited the Wisconsin delegates to

all of the downtown hotels tonight.
Among the delegates arriving today were
those of West Virginia, headed by for
mer Governor Dawson; Montana. the
home state of National Chairman Dixon;
Idaho and Nebraska The West Virgin
ians came in 80 strong, each delegate hav-
inc one-fourth of a vote. Nearly all of
the states are TO have delegations In ex-
cess of their allotted quota, which ordi-
narily would be just one-half of the num-
Der of delegates allowed JOY the repub-
lican and democratic conventions. The
basis of representation in convention Is
one vote for each senator and represent
tative from a state.
The votes of the delegates are to be
split in fractions ranging from one
half to one-seventh.
South Carolina, so far, is the only
state concerning which no official
notification Of participation in the con-
vention has been received. A man
proclaiming himself as a citizen of that
state called at headquarters today and
asked how he might become a dele

He was told that 1t was probably
too late to arrange for a regular rep
resentation for the state and South
Carolina Is not expected to have a
voice in the convention.

Waste Time.

The American school plant is valued
at more than 81 1000, 000, 900. and as
used for school purposes alone utilizes
but thirty-nine per cent. of the time
which could be given to the needs OF
the community. This, according to the
National Magazine. represents a total
loss Of school plants to the country
Of more than $780, 900 every year.
An active movement Is now taking
place to turn school property during
the summer months into children's
Fairgrounds and places of amusement
and to make them the center Of recre-
alton. Of political and social life. the
same as in country places. where they
serve many purposes. oftentimes even
for church services.

Newberry. - The c]orporators and
committee having the matter in charge
have decided to make a whirlwind
campaign for raising the necessary
funds to build and equip the New
berry County hospital. 1t was decid-
ed to procure the amount in one day,
and for that purpose a hospital day
will be named and committees will
that day canvass the city and county.
1t Is hoped to have the stock all sub
scribed within the next ten days, and
to have the hospital in operation by
the middle of November.

CHAPTER XIX.

Daylight awoke with the familiar
parched mouth and lips and throat.
took a long drink OF water from the
pitcher beside his bed. and gathered
up the train of thought where he had
left 1t the night before. He reviewed
the easement of the financial strain.
Things were mending at last. While
the going was still rough, the greatest
dangers were already past
His mind moved on to the incident
at the corner OF the bar OF the Par
thenon, when the young athlete had
turned his hand down. He was no
longer stunned by the event, but he
was shocked and grieved. as only a
strong man can be-. at this passing OF
his strength. He had always looked
upon this strength OF his as perman-
ent, and here. for years. 1t had been
steadily oozing from him. AS he had
diagnosed 1t, he had come in from I'm.
der the stars to roost IN the coops OF
cities. He had almost forgotten how
to walk. He had lifted up his feet
and been ridden around In automo-
biles, cabs and carriages, and electric
cars. He had not exercised. and be
had dry-rotted his muscles with alco-
hol. And was it worth 1t? What did
all his money mean after all? Dede
was. right 1t could buy him no more
than one bed at a time, and at the
same time It had made him the abject-
est OF slaves. 1t tied him fast. Which
was better? he asked himself. All
this was Dede's own thought 1t was
what rhe had meant when she prayed
he would go broke. He held up bis
offending right arm. It wasn't the
same old arm. OF course she could
not love that arm and that body as
she had loved the strong. clean arm

A Remarkable Conuention

Columbia. - The State Democratic
Convention that has just adjourned
was one of the most remarkable gath
erings that has been held In this state
in many a year. 1t was conspicuous
because of the unusual evidence Of
interest in the political situation and
the high character of the delegates.
Men who have not for years taken any
part in political affairs made the sac
riice Of attending the convention and
the personnel Of the convention was
decidedly above the average in this
state. !,

To the Road For One Year.

Barnwell.-Mace Jeffcoat, a white
man, was sentenced to one year at
hard labor in the penitentiary or on
the changing, having been found
guilty Of storing whiskey for an lille
gal purpose. This was his second
offense, and there was, therefore, no
alternative of a fine. He is the first
person in this county to be sentenced
without the alternative of. paying a
fine. He served notice of appeal to
the supreme court, and pending the
hearing bail was granted in the sum
of 81, 900, which was furnished.

their own weight. He looked for the
lines Of cruelty Dede had spoken OF.
and he found them. and he found the
harshness in the eyes as we'll. the
eyes that we're muddy now after all
the cocktails Of the night before. and
Of the months and years before. He
looked at the clearly defined pouches
that showed under his eyes, and they
shocked him. He rolled up the sleeve
Of his pajamas. No wonder the ham,
mer-thrower had put his hand down.
Those weren't muscles. A rising tide
Of fat had submerged them. He
stripped off the pajama coat. Again
he was shocked. this time by the bulk
of his body. 1t wasn't pretty. The
lean stomach had become a paunch.
The rigid muscles of chest and shout
ders and abdomen had broken down
into rolls Of flesh. And this was age.
Then there drifted across the field OF
vision OF his minds eye the old mar

who was content to live in the chapar.
raj along with his spring OF mountain
water and his hand-reared and mani
cured fruit trees. Ferguson had solved
a problem. A weakling and an alco-
holic, he had run away from the doc
tors and the chicken-coop Of a city.
and soaked up health like a thirsty
sponge. He sat down suddenly on the
bed, startled by the greatness OF the
idea that had come to him. He did
not sit long. His mind. working in its
customary way, like a steel trap, can
vassed the idea in all its bearings. It
was big-bigger than anything he had
faced before. And he faced 1t square.
ly. picked 1t up in his two hands and
turned 1t over and around and looked
at 1t. The simplicity of 1t delighted
him. He chuckled owe 1t, reached his
decision, and began to dress. Midway
in the dressing he stopped in order to
use the telephone.
Dede was the first he called up.
Don't come to the office this morn.
Ing" he said. I'm coming out to see
you for a moment"
He called up others. He ordered
his motor.car. To Jones he gave in
structions for the forwarding OF Bob
and Wolf to Glen Ellen. Hogan he
surprised by asking him to look up
the deed Of the Glen Ellen ranch and
make out a new one in Dede Mason's
name. "Who?" Hogan demanded.
"Dede Mason" Daylight replied Inn
perturbably-"the phone must be in
distinct this morning. D-e-d-e Mason.
Got it,"
Half an hour later he was flying out
to Berkeley. And for the first time
the big red car halted directly before
the house. Dede offered to receive
him in the parlor. but he shook his
head and nodded toward her rooms
I'm there" he said. mo other place
would suit"
AS the door closed. his arms went
out and around her. Then he stood
with his hands on her shoulders and
looking down into her face.
