CHAPTER Ill.
The Candidate.


 The butchers boy brought the tid- ings of the auction sale in at the kitchen door of the Old Ladies home even while Angy and Abe were lin gering over their posies, and the in- mates of the home were waiting to receive the old wife with the greater sympathy and the deeper spirit of welcome from the fact that two of the twenty-nine members had known her from girlhood, away back in the boarding school days.
 "Yop," said the boy, with one eye upon the stout matron, who was criti- cally examining the meat that he had brought. "Yop, the auctions over, an Cap'n Rose, he Don't that cut suit you. Miss Abigail? You won't find better. nicer, tenderer and more juicier piece of shoulder this side of New York. Take it back, did you say? All right, maam, all right" His face assumed a look of resignation: these old ladies made his life martyrdom He used to tell the "fellers" that he spent one-half his time carrying orders | back and forth from the Old Ladies home. But now, in spite of his meek ness of manner, he did not intend to take this cut back. So with Machia vellian skill he hastened on with his gossip.
 "Yop, an they only rig one hundred dollars an two cents-one hundred dollars an postage-stamp. l guess it's all up with the cap'n an the Old Mems. l don't see 'em hangin' out no l Welcome sign on the strength of that"
 You're a horrid. heartless little boy!" burst forth Miss Abigail. and, 1 flinging the disputed meat on the table, she sank down into the chair, completely overcome by sorrow and | indignation. You'll be old yerself some day" she sobbed. not noticing 1 that he was stealthily edging toward the door, one eye on her, one on to- 1 morrow's pot roast. T tell yew, | Tommy" regaining her accustomed 1 contiding amiability. as she lifted the corner of her apron to wipe her eyes, Miss Ellie will feel some kind O bad, l tew. Yer know me an her an Angy 1 all went ter school tergether, although 1 Miss Ellie is so much youngern the rest O us that we call her the baby. l Here! Where"
 But he was gone. Signing heavily, the matron put the meat in the cebox, and then made her slow. numbering way into the front hall, or community room, where the sisters were gathered in body to await the new arrival.
 'Waal, say!" she supplemented, after she had finished telling her pitt ably brief story, "thars trouble ernough to go around, hain't thar?"
 Aunt Nancy Smith, who never be- leved in wearing her heart on her sleeve, sniffed and thumped her cane on the floor.
 You young folks" she affirmed, her self having seen ninety-nine winters. while Abigail had known but a paltry sixty-tive, "yew alters go an cut yer pity on the skewgee. I don't see nothin' to bawl an boiler erbout. l say that any man what cant take heie nlHSeIl, not ter mention ms wife, should orter go ter the poor house"
 But the matriarchs voice quavered even more than usual. and as she fin ished she hastily bent down and felt in her deep skirt pocket for her snuff. box.

He decided to arrest them and Captain Fite of the border patrol sent three soldiers to help Delaney called out to the men that they were under arrest and ordered them ash ore The soldiers fired a volley. One bullet splashed the water near the boat.
 Don't hit them" cautioned De- laney.
 "Well come ashore a soon as We pick up the decoys," shouted one of the hunters.
 They rowed upstream toward the dc- coys. Suddenly the boat headed fer the American shore.
 "They've got away; let them eo,' De- laney told the soldiers.
 "1ll give them another scare" said one soldier He raised his rifle and fired. Both hunters toppled over in the boat, which drifted to the ferry land ing. Smith was dead. Dorsch was brought to a Buffffalo hospital. His con dition is not serious.
 J. B. Curtis acting United States consul at Fort Erie, made a prelim-
