The beauty of the night made me

out through the garden to the per

She drew the ring from her finger,
holding it out for him to see.
''The starlight caught the gems on

her breath; chat was the beginning.
And them don't know why-as l
lay there idly turning the ring on my
finger, found myself saying, 81 must
go to New York; must leave my
body here asleep in the hammock
and go down to my own room in

A curious little chill passed over

she said TREMENDOUSLY; then l sus-

candle and saw it was truly my own

my own face in the mirror terror
seized me; it was like a glimpse of
something taken unawares.
For, do you know that, although
in the glass I saw my own face, the
face was NOT looking back at me-"
she dropped her head, crushing the
ring in both hands.
THE reflected face was far love-

rose, slipping the ring on her finger

gayly.
She raised her head and faced the

he stepped behind her, looking over

DENY VOTING FOR
STEPHEN BRUNDIDGE
ALLEGED SUPPORTERS
IN INTERVIEW
SAY THEY VOTED FOR DAYS
Claims Of Fraud In Primary
In This County Seem To
Be Without Foundation

Brundidge has charged fraud
in Hampstead county, and de-
manded, through his alleged rep
resentative, a copy Of the poll
books, which he says was re
fused. The evidence he has of
fraud is that someone reported
to the Brundidge headquarters
that there were fourteen men
voted for Brundidge at Wash
ton and only eight votes counted
for him. Some of the men who
it is said voted for Brundidge
were interviewed, and all said
they were not Brundidge men,
and did not vote for him. When
the Central Committee tabulated
the votes, the Brundidge rep
resentatives demanded that they
go into and count the Spring
Hill ballots; this was on the
ground, it is alleged, that some
one had reported only 90 votes
polled at Spring Hill, while the
poll books showed 105, of which
Brundidge received five and
Hays 100. If the charges of
fraud in the other counties are
on the same flimsy pretext a
in Hampstead, there are abso
lutely no grounds for a contest,
and it is foolishness for the State
Central Committee to take up
time with it.
