while under the Williamson manage

mar in the audience sought him out
after the first performance and ex-
pressed great pleasure at seeing a
Scotch actor in kits.
ooh, it's fine," said the newcomer.
You're a pleasin' sight to the eyes,"
He hung around Draycott every
night. Finally, one evening, the actor
told him the bill was to be changed.
And what r you going to play
now?" asked the other.
"Tm to appear in a playlet called
Madame Butterfly" said Draycott.
"And what part will you take?"'

her like an insistent voice.

swarthy farmhouse roofs huddled like
giant Indians on the trail, and ponds

to see her pass. Was this real or

open road at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of the
hare-brained maunderings of a half
mad old negro?
The great iron gate of Damory court
hung open, and scarcely ~slackening

the long drive. The glooming house

huge porch columns looked like lonely
gray monoliths In the wan light. NOT

emptiness about the place that
brought her heart into her throat with
a sickly horrible feeling of certainty.

horse and hurried around the house.

Mrs. rwaddles Wonders.

'T have always wondered" philoso-
phized Mrs. Twaddles, how a horse
feels. Now don't interrupt with some
silly remark; / am In earnest. A horse
hasn't any idea what is going to hap
pen to him when he is hitched up. He
doesn't know how far he is going, or
what he is going for. To be driven
hither and thither, blindly, seemingly
without purpose, with no idea what
it's all about or when it will be over
how must the poor creature feel-what
must he think about it all?"
II suppose" answered Mr.. T~waddles,
YEARLY, that he must feel just as !
do when you take me on a shopping
trip with you"
But Mrs. Twaddles merely shifted.

His Face Called for 4 Touring Car.

That it is expected Of some very
plain ONE to have money In their
own right, and some very unattractive
men to possess motor cars in order to
maintain their popularity, was shown
the other day in a conversation be-
tween two young women on a street
car. They yer speaking Of a man
they had just met, who supposedly
had accumulated quite a bit Of wealth.

harp into its corner she threw herself
upon a broad sofa in a feathery drift
of chintz cushions and dropped her
forehead in her laced fingers. A gilt
framed mirror hung on the opposite
wall, out of which her sorrowful brood
ing eyes looked with an expression Of
dumb and weary suffering.
Her confused thoughts raced hither
and thither. What would be the end?
Would Valikht forget after a time?
Would he marry-Miss Fargo, per-
haps? The thought caused her a stab
of anguish. Yet she herself could not
marry him. The barrier was impas-
sable!
She was still lying l~istlessly among
the cushions when a step sounded on
the porch and she heard Chilly Lusk's
voice in the hall. With heavy hands
Shirley put into place her disheveled
hair and rose to meet him.

you are tired out"
She disclaimed the WEAKNESS that
dragged upon her spirits like leaden
weights, and made him welcome with
her usual cordiality. She was, in fact,
relieved at his coming. At Damory
court, the night of the ball, when she
had come from the garden with her
lips thrilling from valiant's kiss, she
had suddenly met his look. 1t had
seemed to hold a startled realization
that she had remembered with a re-
morseful conjunction. Since that
night he had not been at Rosewood.
Ranston had lighted a pine-knot in
the fireplace, and the walls were shud-
.dering with crimson shadows. Her
hand was shielding her eyes, and as
she strove to fill the gaps In their

REPUBLICANS CLAIM

0. P. COLUMN e'

San Miguel county will elect every
republican candidate in tomorrows S
election. Party leaders predict that
the republican candidates will receive
1900 more votes than their nearest
rivals. This is something like the ma
iority that used to be rolled ub in
San Miguel county several years ago
and which gave it the title of the
stronghold of republicanism in New
Mexico.
The party is united as it never has
been before, and there is no disaffec-
tion among the men who usually vote
the republican ticket. There Is every
reason to believe that East Las We
gas, which has been voting democrat
ic by slight majority during the past
two elections, will swing back strongly
into the republican column. The pro-
gressives, who we're responsible for
the democratic gains in this precinct,

republicanism still is strong in San
Miguel county. They will be content
if they can reduce the republican ma-
jority in this part of the state. The
democrats are figuring upon getting
a larger vote than usual in the Pecos
valley and other democratic strong
holds, and are intent upon reducing
normal republican pluralities. Wran-
sles among their party leaders in the
Pecos valley, however, have hurt their
chances, and there is every indica-
