''DRYS" TO HAVE
ANOTHER CHANCE
Supervisors to Meet in Regular Session
Feb VIII Take Up Elec-
ton Petition.

The 'Drys' are busily engaged
these days in trying to persuade
sufficient number of voters. to
sign their petition calling for an
election to decide whether or not
liquor shall be sold in Navajo
county. Up to yesterday the,
had secured only four signers.
and expressed a keen desire to
get fve more to supply the def
clency OF nine in their petition.
The women engaged in the cir
culation of the petition have not
been wanting in activity or per-
suaslve power, and left nothing
undone to improve their cause.
1t would appear that the sup
ply of prohibitionists in Winslow
Dr., at least, of those willing to
make public declaration of their
faith, is about exhausted, since
four votes seem to be the total
result of a months effort. Fol-
lowing the last meeting rof the
board, when it was, announced
that the supervisors would defer
action on the petition and allow
it to be perfected at their next
meeting, the local prohib's ex-
pressed absolute confidence in
their ability to secure the num-
ber needed right here in Wins
low, and that within a few days.
AS they have never been guilty
of apathy in any liquor move
ment in which they have been
engaged, it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that they are suffering
some disappointment at their
difficulty in enlisting nine more
volunteers in a town that con-
talns over five hundred voters.
Their efforts have not been
confined to Winslow, however.
Some weeks ago the residents of
the upper country were called
upon to get busy and secure ad-
ditional names from that strong
hold and as the sentiment in
that section is uncompromisingly
dry, it is expected that they will
come before the supervisors on
Monday with a petition that will
compel the calling of an cleo
ton.
In the event of their second
failure to secure a sufficient
number of signers to meet stat
1tary requirements, the board
will have three options, any Of
which they will have legal au-
thority to choose. They, may re-
ject the petition in it's entirety;
they may again defer action un-
til a future meeting. or they may
may order the election by the
authority vested in-them by the
statutes. ots
Supervisors Stiles and Rich
ards, who have been. in Phoe-
nix for some time, have returned
and full attendance of the
board will be on hand Monday.

Stubborn as the lock was, persever-

happy ways. But, alas! such wishes
are without temporal power.
Fortune never knew. She sat In q
chair, her fingers locked tensely, her
eyes large and set in gaze. her lips

ampotent despair.

beating. What had the love-1orn fool
said to the child?
He said that he was not good
man, and that you tolerated him be-
cause he ran errands for you. What
kind of errands?"
Mrs. Chedsoye did not know Wheth-
er to laugh or take the child by the
shoulders and shake her soundly. "He
was laughing when he said that Err
rands? One would scarcely call it
that"
why did you renew the acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Jones, when you knew
that you never intended paying back
that loan?"
Here was question, Mrs. Chedsoye
realized, from the look of the child,
that would not bear evasion
What makes you think l never in
tended to repay him?''
Fortune laughed. It did not sound
grateful in the mothers ears.
Mother, this is a crisis; it can not
be met by counter-questions nor by
f1ippancy. You know that you did
not intend to pay him. What I de-
mand to know is, why you spoke to
him again, SO afably, why you seemed
so eager to enter into his good graces
once more. Answer that"
Her mother pondered. For once she
was really at loss. The unexpected
ness Of this phase caught her off her
balance. She saw one thing wildly,
regretfully: she had missed a valuable
point ina the game by not adjusting
her play to the growth of the child,
who had, with the phenomenal sud-
denness which still battles the psy-
biologists, stepped out Of girlhcod
into womanhood, all in a day. What
a fool she had been not to have left

fertile and active. For time the
process of the evolution of thought
was denied her; she tried to think, but
there was an appalling lack of continu-

of those circumferential railways; she
travelled, but did not get anywhere.
Ryanne had told her too much for his
own sake, but too little for hers. She
sat back In the carriage, inert and
listless, and indeterminedly nkened
her condition to driftWood in the ebb
and flow of beach-Waves. The color
and commotion Of the streets were
no longer absorbed; It was as IL she
were riding through emptiness,
through the unreality of a dream. She
was oppressed and stiaed, too; harb-
niger Of storms.
Mechanically she dismissed the car
riage at the hotel, mechanically she
went to her room, and in this semi
conscious mood sat down in a chair,
and there Georges wish found her,

IS STRANGER THAN FICTION
Wisconsin Woman Reunited With Par
ent Mourned as Lost IN Iroauoia
Theater Disaster.

Chicago THAT truth Is stranger
than fiction was demonstrated once
more the other day when the story
came out Of how a family, disrupted
by the Iroqlois theater fire nine
years ago, has become reunited at
Grand Rapids, Wis.
The heroines of the romance are
Mrs. ella MayheW and her daughter.
Mrs. Sidney Burrows Of West Grand
Rapids.
For nine years it had been believed
Mrs. Mayhem persisted in the Iroquofs
fire. On the day Of the disaster Mrs.
Mayhem, or Mrs. Maxfield, as her
name was at that time, attended the
matinee at the Iroquois theater with
friend When the fire broke out the
two became separated
The friend escaped uninjured, but
no trace could be found OF Mrs Max

was taken out Of the fire ruins. She
was mourned as lost.
Mrs. Maxfield was not dead, how
ever. She was badly injured In the
fire and on escaping from the thea
ter was taken to hospital where for
fourteen months her life hung by a
thread and her mind was a blank.
Upon her recovery she learned
that, supposing her to be dead. her
husband had married again and her
only child, Mrs. Burrows, had chang.
ed her residence.
Under the circumstances Mrs. Max.
field thought it best: to conceal her
identity under an assumed name. She
became connected as nurse with
the hospital where she had been re-
stored to health.
Her existence would probably new
err have been discovered had ii not
been, for the settlement of an estate
in which she was interested. Her
real name WIS mentioned In the
newspapers and was seen by the
daughter. A long distance telephone
call followed and the voice of the
mother answered Mrs. Burrows. The
mother went at once to Grand Rapids,
where she and her daughter have
been reunited

was not right; something was wrong;
and this wrong upon one side con-
