CHAPTER XV.-Continued.
-t.1t.SsFEf7..ss.fssfs-te.fs5s.a..5

And now, in the afternoon silence of
the woods. the curate pondered on the
fate that had seemed to shape his ends
so unprofitably. Was there ever any one
in the world less fitted to be a clergyman
than he?
Why has the silence Of the summer
woods been so often likened to the silence
of a cathedral? They have nothing in
common. The silence Of the cathedral Is
the silence of great stones frozen to-
gether by fear. The silence of the woods
is the stiffness OF innumerable sounds
blended, as all the colors of the rainbow
are blended, into the white light which is
invisible
Daddy Merle, how do you spell en-
joyed?' An Petronia looked up from her
writing.
He spelled it for her slowly and she
said 1t after him.
Thank you, Daddy Merle.
Again he found himself staring at the
picture of the apostles. 1t fascinated
him. 1t seemed to Merle as il the paint
ers self were speaking to him across the
centuries.
DO they look as if they were acting a
play, these holy men that I have paint
ed?- Has the spirit Of Christianity SO
changed that the sacred commands of
the Master must be explained away with
strange words? Has the flock strayed so
to be only a symbol, and the shears Of
the shearer a metaphor and the sheep
fold figure of speech? Have l painted
my picture in vain?"
And now the printed words OF the text
before him seemed to speak aloud, to call
to him:
For / have given you an example.
that We should do as have done to you.
There was no mistake about the mean
ing. 1t was a command: command to
be obeyed literally. If the church
thought otherwise. then he must part
company with the church. He could not
serve two masters. He had made his
choice. he would obey the call. The
humber the service his hands found to
do. the more gladly would they do it.
Was mot that what Hiram Baxter HIM
self had tried to tell them In his homely
way? 1T will make men and women Of
you,' that's what he had said. Hiram
Baxter was right.
And then great resolve formed itself
in the heart OF Horatio Merle. He would
take Hiram Baxter at his word: he would
tell him he wanted to work. He was
willing to do anything so long as 1t was
work, so long as 1t was helpful. He had
been blind. and in his blindness he had
tried to lead others as blind as himself.
II have lost my way" he said, aloud.
He had risen to his feet and stood with
head bowed and hands extended in an
attitude that would have been theatrical
if it had not been so utterly unconscious.
You isn't losted. Daddy Merle" He
felt the clasp of her little hand. 'Tum
with me, l know the way"
Together they walked through the high
ferns, in some places over An Petronias s
head, and through dim, winding woodland
passages and secret stairWays of moSsy
rocks behind the tapestry Of ivy and
convolvulus known only to An Petronia,
until they came out on the Millbrook
lane, just in time to see the last flicker
of sunlight through the hawthorn hedge.

Of Original Writers.
From the Idler Magazine.

From the IQler Magazlne
Critics have a habit Of complaining that
modern authors do not give US modern
thoughts; that the writer's Of the
present day repeat in parroting chorus
what other and greater writer's nave
written long ago. Critics are difficult
to satisfy. They object to new forms
and clamor for new truths AS well go
rate your chef because, though he con-
stantly devises new dishes. he brings no
new food. The trouble lies. not In your
chef. but in nature. And so the trouble
lies, not In your author. but In nature.
New truths! And what. pray. Is the mat
ter.with the old truths? Do we tire Of
truth merely because 1t Is familiar? SO
1t would seem, else why do We now well
come the maker Of paradoxes who gives
us truth wearing the face Of falsehood? =?
New truths are for the scientist Old
truths are more than enough to occupy
an author. Let us eschew the paradox.
It is a dangerous plaything for 1t cuts
both ways and who knows but that
from welcoming truth which wears the
face of falsehood we shall come at last
to welcome falsehood which wears the
face of truth?
who tell US only what we already know.
Tiresome. perhaps. but can they do US
harm? Only by saying the same thing
in the same way until our ears refuse to
hear ana our mlnOS 10 comprehend what
they utter. Truth is something like the
lady who rides bareback in the circus;
the first time she jumps through paper
hoop we think she is wonderful. but
when she does it for the tenth time she
is already commonplace. and we grow
impatient for the trained seals. That
is the way it is with the critics. After
they have seen Truth go through her
hoop for the tenth time. they clamor for
the trained seals. 1t does not even
amuse them to see her go through her
hoop backward. And so they are vexed.
and they tell us that the original writer's
are all dead and buried.

George Meredith and Woman Suf-
frage.

From the London Chronicle.
George Meredith, whose letters have
just been published, was one Of the pi-
oneers of woman suffrage in England,
and, unlike Browning. he retained his
belief in the movement to the end. Mr..
Herbert Paul considers that the greatest
service Merediths books rendered. apart
from their literary value, is their eXalta-
ton of women in the economy of the
world. The effect of his belief in the
possible enlargement of women's sphere,
and the development of their powers, was
all the greater because it was subtle, be-
cause ii reached the public through a few
minds to whom Meredith at once appeal
ed and because it inspired confidence in
women without parading their claims
The comparative freedom and in
which women now enjoy is
due more to Meredith than TO parliament
or to Mill

AoA VIC ASeSuAAS' United States lent
itself to the early announcement of the
result, and every newspaper and press as
sociation did it's part. OF course New
York led off with an election night crowd.
1t always does. A reporter. despairing of
success in an attempt to portray the
amount Of noise made by the New York
election crowds. in desperation wrote: If
400 lunatic asylums had turned loose their
entire list of inmates. and the biggest
band of Apaches and COmmanche Indians
that ever gathered had been commissioned
to help them make wierd and uncanny
noises, it still would have been but the
soft sigh Of lovesick maiden, as COM
pared with the noise that started below
newspaper row and swept on uptown and
across the Harlem"
The clock and the sun give the west the
advantage of the east in the matter of
election returns. The voters of the Pacific
coast can usually know how the Atlantic
sunset land quits voting. California can
not begin it's count until several hours
after New York has started counting.
The voting machine is gradually extend
ing its field, and it is predicted by many
that it will not be more than a decade
until it will take the place of the ballot
throughout the country. AS it works like
an adding machine and gives it's totals
as soon as the last vote is cast it will
enable the country to know how the elec-
ton goes almost soon as the last vote
is cast. In some places the voter is given
the choice of voting by machine or by
ballot But where the two have been
tried the voting machine has proved the
favorite.
In the early days Of the republic there
Evening star., 1912-11-06

were no big November elections such as
we know today. In the beginning only
few states allowed the people to have
any choice of the electors at all-most of
them allowing the legislature to choose
the electors. And they had as many diff
ferent times for choosing electors as they
now have for selecting United States
senators. Each state could select its
electors at any time before the electoral
colleges were scheduled to meet. 1t was
not until 1928 that the people had a
direct voice in the choosing of electors in
all Of the states except South Carolina,
and South Carolina did not give it's citi-
Zens that right until it came back into
the Union after the civil war. In the
early days first one state and then an
other would choose it's electors, and it
would be many weeks before the full
number was chosen. Pennsylvania could
know how New York voted before it be-
gan to vote.

Not until 1913 did all the states make
their choice of electors on the same day.

ship rendered by the party in power Ari-
Zona and New Mexico have come into the
Union, bringing with them six electoral
votes There have been three elections in
the history of the country in which those
six votes could have determined the elec-
ton. They might have given Jefferson
the election over Adams. In the first
Jefferson election they could have thrown
the presidency to Burr, and in 1876
Hayes might have been prevented from
winning even by the aid Of an electoral
commission.
The rapfdity and accuracy with which
sixteen million votes are counted in a
presidential year is not the least remark
able feature of the election of President.
With ballots in some states so large that
they look more fit for a billboard than for
a ballot box, a comparison of the unof-
ficial with the official returns always
shows a surprisingly small margin of
error and remarkable care in conducting
the count From many thousands Of pre-
cincts in the rural districts the returns

know them, were impossible until sixty
four years ago. There are nearly a mil

who were old enough to vote when the

1845 providing that the electors should be

the first Monday of November.
That accounts for the fact tnat the
first election bulletins were given out in

Zachary Taylor was a Louisianian, and
the people there wanted to know how

Voters Will Elect Delegates to State
Convention.

Primaries will be held in the several
districts in Garrett county May 6, for
the dual purpose of electing delegates
to the State conventions, which IN turn
viii elect delegates to the National con
ventions TO nominate Presidential can
didates, and also for the purpose of
electing delegates to the Congressional
conventions to nominate candidates for
Congress for the Sixth Maryland Dis
trict.
The primary will be under the same
conditions of the primary last fall, when
delegates were elected to the State con
ventions to nominate candidates for
Governor Both the Republican and
Democratic primaries are held on the
same day, and at the same polling places
but with different ballot boxes.
All candidates, to get on the official
ballots, filed their applications Monday,

sional candidates with the local election
supervisors, are those of Gist Blair, of
Silver Springs, Montgomery county,
and Charles D. Wagnaman, of Wash
ington county, Republicans, and David

for president, and the delegates elected
will be required to vote for such candi-
date in the State conventions which
elects delegates to the National conven-
ton. The same condition prevails as to
the congressional candidates.
The applicants for places on the off
cial ballot in the different counties of the
State, must file certified check for ten
dollars for each county, with the Secre-
tary of State, and the candidates for
Congress a check for twenty-five dol

THE BRADLEY FARM SOLD.
VIII Be Divided Into Small Tracks
and Sold at auction.

The Dixie Realty Co., of South Boston,
Va, has just purchased the Bradley
farm, consisting Of four hundred acres.
This valuable farm adjoins the town Of
Oakland and is considered one Of the
finest large tracts Of land in Garrett
county, and its close proximity to Oak
land adds greatly to its value and at
tractiveness. We are reliably informed
that this property is to be subdiVlded
and sold at auction in small farms and
villa sites. Mr.. Howard L. Edmunds
President of the Dixie Realty Co, is
in town looking after the development
of this property, and the surveyors are
busy laying it out into desirable small
plots. We understand that this compa-
ny purposes to hold their sale the latter
part of MAY. The Dixie Realty Co.
have been very successful in exploit
ing sales Of this kind in Maryland dur
ing the last two years. One of the
unique features of their sales being the
famous Dixie Twin Auctioneers, who
cry the same bid on the same lot at the
same time in the same tones of voice
and selling lot minute. A great deal
of interest is manifested in this real
estate movement by our local people as
there is a great demand for small farms
close to Oakland.

Theos Helios Cozine, gentleman of the
old school and man of mystery" He
came here last fall and worked in the
Argus office and for the Journal more
or less all winter He had been good
printer and was fine writer, but was
in poor health and getting up in years,
perhaps 70 years of age. He was taken
to the hospital on Sunday before he died
and rapidly grew weaker and passed
peacefully away, He was born in
Teheran, Persia, but claimed Kentucky
as his home. He had no communication
with his friends and refused to allow
any of them notified during his last i'll
ness. He was buried on Saturday even
ing in the Kingwood cemetery, with no
services of any kind, as this was his
last request. The burial was attended
by few friends connected with the
printing offices of the town. He was
an unique character and every effort Is
being made to find his friends and more
about him, and later on we hope to be
able to give more full history of the
man. His death was caused by cirrhosis
of the liver. -Kingwood Argus.

After an operation had been performed
on his eye. Eczema appeared in his
eyebrows. All efforts on the part Of
the physicians to relieve the trouble
failed. Rcsinol Ointment was recon-
mcnded. and after two or three days
application there was scarcely n evi-
