CHAPTER XII.

It was 10 o'clock on the evening OF
the election In Ossian. About the
headquarters of Walter Bedight the
followers of the victorious representa-
tive were clamoring for their chosen
leader-and among the voters were
innumerable women who had fought
shoulder to shoulder with their
brothers at the ballot box.
Mrs. Holcomb, the president OF the
Allied Women's clubs. followed by .
bevy OF workers, passed through the
crowd and sent in her card. The door
was opened to admit them.
Bedight came graciously forward. a
smile of welcome upon his face.
Congratulations. Mr.. Bedight," said
I Mrs. Holcomb. "and let me introduce
Miss Vining. Of Epworth."
Bedight had not seen her until then,
but as his eyes fell upon her his heart
leaped as the dry grasses to the show
er, as the laughing water to the sun
shine. He held out his hand.
We have met before, thank you.
Mrs. Ho,comb," she said. the roses
mounting 10 her cheeks, and then tie
crowd surged in.

eagerly to Jackie as he turned to
grasp the outstretched hands.
And esen as he murmured his
thanks to the congratulatory constitu-
ency, he pressed button upon his
desk. An attendant answered. He
whispered a message. still pressing
the hands that met his. The attend

said, with the old ring in his voice.
that the apple gets bitten:"

At daybreak Bedight sighted boat
bearing in from Squirrel Inn. He
hailed it and soon the two disheveled
adventurers were enroute to the hotel.
Jackie made much ado over Miss
Mcconnell, who drew her aside. the
roses in her face redder than the color
of the Magma Charta.
Late in the afternoon Bedight stole
away to the cabin and made his prom

prisoners were in a sullen mood and
demanded to be liberated.
Monday morning found him assidu-
GUS in his attentions to Cleo Sum-
mers, who brought out a copy Of ''Lu-
cille" and beckoned him to a shady
spot in the wood not far from the Inn.
Seating herself on the grass, she
handed him the book.

officer had regained his feet and given
the alarm. The mayor heard a call
for help, hurried explanation, and
then footballs, in pursuit Down the
road he ran toward the shadows OF
the trees along the highway.
If Briggs was there and ready, he
would get away in time. Something
ioo:ced black in the shadows ahead.
1t was the car! Bedight called as
he ran-but Briggs was too surprised
to heed.
Crank the carl" cried the mayor
excitedly, dashing up to the machine.
But the pursuers were upon them
as the bewildered Briggs sprang to
the wheel. The mayor turned and
struck blindly at the sheriff in the
lead. whirled and sprang into the ma

and shot ahead. leaving the enraged

CHAPTER XII.

After spending day with win
some woman reading Lucille, 1t is
either the hand of Fate or the inten-
tional prank of witch that sends the
same man canoeing with decidedly
pretty girl of the same name!
Lucille Walters was a leader at
vassar and popular at Squirrel Inn.
where her personality was predomi-
nant and pleasing. To none but Jackie
vining need she yield the palm Of
favor and of attractiveness.
Upon Mayor Bedight Miss Walters
tried all her wiles. In a sworn COM
pact with the Judge" she sought by
every means in conformity with lady
light alluring to wiring from him some
J little slip that would throw light upon
his clandestine meetings-but Be-
digit baffled her at every clever
thrust. She came home at night only
to admit her defeat.
HE is charming-and decidedly
adept at fencing" was the verdict
Miss Walters rendered to her
chaperone.
And on the pinnacle of this 1t hap
| pened!
Jackie vining and Lucille Walters.
star gazing, beheld the rascally Be-
digit enter the arbor. A half hour
later the figure OF woman emerged
from the trysting place. For time
the two stood in the arbor entrance.
The arm of the mayor was about her.
Then their lips met in a lingering
caress and the girl glided across the
lawn as on that other night when
Jackie had beheld like tableau.
Undoubtedly the woman was one of
them-but which one?
Miss Winnings anger and contempt
for men in general and Bedight in
particular ran high.
But" protested Miss Walters, per
haps his intentions are perfectly hon.
orable and possibly right here under
pur noses a romance has budded and
blossomed."
"But-but-" protested the Honor
able Jack, stopping herself just at the
point Of confessing what Bedisht had
said to her that night on the dock.
The said the girl was doing no
harm-and-"
Don't be silly. Jackie" pricked
Miss Walters. "it isn't wrong to kiss
one's sweetheart"
But Jackie was unappeased. She
felt that Bedight was deceiver for
try as she would. she could not JUST
lry his words to her with his act a.
the arbor. The danger to the gir,s
under her protection was imminent
The whole affair had been a travesty
1t best and she was unwise to continue
It longer. But what method of pro.
:edure was best? Jackie thought seri.
ously for an hour. Then she sum
moned an attendant from the Office
and gave him a message. Having done
this she retired.
1 Mayor Bedight was still up at mid
I night when a woman glided down the
hallway and tapped gently at his
door. 1t was opened from within
and the girl closed 1t behind her.
"Walter!" she CRIED excitedly
Jackie Vining has sent help to the
sheriff. 1 just learned 1t. It's almost
time for him to arrive. You must
act quickly. The letter with the bill
inside is still unsealed on her dresser
tried to get 1t but failed. You
must"
I "All right. Bess." replied the mayor
patting the girl on the shoulder. "I'l
act-and want to say right here tha,
you're a trump card. It's up to your
Uncle Dudley to buy you a new seal
skin when we meet In Chicago"
