connected with the settlement Of
big estate. Mrs. Delaney, widow Of
a son of the decedent, was one of the
Iegatees, and she was visiting her sis
ter-in-law, Mrs. Robert Austin, in cen
trail Illinois. Mr.. Austin owned ex-
tcnsiye farming interests near Dexter,
and his handsome home was less than
two miles from the heart of the town.
Crosby anticipated no trouble in driv-
ing to the house and back in time to
catch the afternoon train for Chicago.
It was necessary for Mrs. Delaney to
sign certain papers, and he was con-
fident the transaction could not occupy
more than half an hours time.
At 11:30 Crosby stepped from the
coach to the station platform in Dex-
ter, looked inquiringly about and then
asked q perspiring man with star on
his suspender strap where he could
hire q horse and buggy. The officer
directed him to a feed yard and sta
BILE" but observed that there was a
funeral in town an he'd be lucky if
he got a rig, as all of Smiths horses
were out" Application at the stable
brought the first frown to Crosby's
brow. He could not rent rig until
after the funeral, and that would make
1t too late for him to catch the 4
o'clock train for Chicago. To make the
story short, u o'clock saw him trudg-
ing along the dusty road covering the
two miles between town and Austin S
place, and he was walking with the
rapidity of one who has no love for the
beautiful The early spring air was
invigorating, and it did not take him
long to reduce the distance. Austin's
house stood on a hill far back from
the highway and overlooking the entire
countryside.
The big red barn stood in from the
road a hundred yards or more, and he
saw that the same driveway led to the
house on the hill There was no time
for speculation, so he hastily made his
way up the lane. Crosby had never
seen his client, their business having
hesRSHOnducted by mail or through
NNDlfe. There was not a person in
ss4&EF, and he slowed his progress con
as he drew nearer the big
.8house. At the barnyard gate he came
to full stop and debated within him
self the wisdom of inquiring at the
stables for Mr.. Austin.
He flung open the gate and strobe
quickly to the door. This he opened
boldly and stepped inside, finding him
self in lofty carriage room. Several
handsome vehicles stood at the far end
but the wide space near the door was
clear The floor was as ''clean as q
PIN except along the west side. Nc
one was in sight. and the only sound
was that produced by the horses as
they munched their hay and stamped
their hoofs in impatient remonstrance

Booster Or Knocker Which?

Mountain Home, October 23, 1912.
Editor Republican.
Yesterday ! noticed the Secre
tary Of the Borah Club distributing
anti-Taft literature on the street
For the benefit Of the officers Of that
club. would It not be well for you
to in your paperx, that under
the dc~sion Of the Supreha Court,
there will be no Bull Moose D. siden-
tial electors on the ticket III III 10 /?
They evidently do not understay 1
that fact and are devoting much time
to fighting Taft that might be bene-
ficially used to Mr.. Borah,s interest.
Also It might be well to call atten-
tion to the fact that at Weiser. on
October 21st., during Senator Borah u
speech, he read from President Taft's
letter Of acceptance Of the Republi-
can nomination, and showed that he
was sponsor for what the President
declared were the four most import
ant bills passed by Congress during
the administration. The senator al
30 gave as his reason for not boiting
at the Chicago convention that he
believed he could do more good for
the people in the senate if he re-
remained within the Republican
ranks, than II he affiliated with the
Progressive party.
Another thing that struck me very
forcibly, as ! walked around town
this afternoon, lin the window of the
