The next morning promptly at eight
o'clock Jack Warford. in response to
muttered invitation, burst excitedly
into Percy Darrow's room. He found
the scientist, draped in a pale-pink
silk kimono embroidered with light
blue butterflies. scraping methodically
at his face with a safety-razor. At the
sight the young fellow came to an
abrupt stop, as though some one had
met him with dash Of cold water In
the face.
'Hello!" said he, in constrained
voice. Just up?"
barrow cast glance through his
long silky lashes at the newcomer.
Yes, my amiable young canine, just
up"
Jack looked somewhat puzzled at
the appellation. but seated himself.
Helen said you wanted to see me, !"
he suggested.
barrow leisurely cleaned the COM
ponent parts of his safety-razor, wash
ed and anointed his face, and turned.
II do" said he, "if you're game.
"Of course I'm camel" cried the boy
Indignantly.
barrow surveyed his fresh, young,
eager face and the trim taut bulk OF
him with dispassionate eyes.
Are you?" he remarked simply.
Possibly. But you're not the man to
be sure of it,"
II didn't mean 1t as Dragging" cried
Jack, flushing.
Surely not" drawled barrow,
stretching out his long legs. But no
man can tell whether or not he's game
until he's tried out. That's no refiec-

LYNDEN MEN AID IN
HUNT FOR BANDITS

Sixteen Lynden men, armed with
shot-guns, rifles and revolvers, set
forth Friday night under DIRECTION
of Sheriff Thomas to capture the
Sedro- Woolley bandits.
They remained on guard at vari-
Gus points along the river until
after midnight, when Marshall War
rem, who had given the sheriff much
able assistance in raising the posses,
notified them that two of the rob-
bers had been killed by Deputy Will
son Stewart, and the other one
had escaped. The Lynden men re-
turned to the city about 2 a. III.
The Lynden party was divided up
into five groups one of which
was headed by A. e. russo. Sheriff
Thomas and Marshall Warren had
little trouble getting volunteers for
the work. In spite of the possible
danger, more than enough men
asked the privilege of joining the
party. The guns which the men
used were also gathered here, and
were willingly loaned by the own
er5.
The following were the Lynden
men deputized: Henry Leist, Jake
Ko0yman, Charles Bussard, Ernest
A. Young, b. Lyons, w.
Staight, A. E. Rusco, G. ID. Heoffer,
G. l.. Miller, d. Mcleod, w. J.

Ole HANSON WILL SWEEP
STATE, Is PREDICTION

The break in the present campaign
came last week. A poll by the
Spokane Chronicle independently in
the business district of Spokane,
showed Jones running bad third.
Hanson led by two and three to one
in the residence and labor districts.
The Republicans of King County
are hOpelessly split. The party or
gan, the Seattle P. l., has endorsed
and urged the election of Bull Moose
Candidate for Prosecuting Attorney.
Party lines have been broken and
Republicans are voting for men on
their merit regardless of party.
This means an overwhelming victory
for Hanson. He is very popular
in his home town and is receiving
the support of prominent business
men of all parties. Republican
headquarters in Spokane and Seat
tie are discouraged and down-heart-
ed. Hanson's active campaign for
State Development and Progressive
Principles has won for him united
support of the independent voters
and the independent press of the
State.
Jones record on Lorimer, the
milage graft. Washington slums
and his association with the Special
Interests, has discredited him. 1t is
predicted by leaders of all three
parties that Black will not be con-
tender in the November election.
Hanson closes the remarkable
campaign which he has made by
speaking in the Armory at Spokane.
on Thursday night. Drea INLAND
Rink, Seattle, Friday night; Ta-
coma Saturday night; and Aberdeen
Monday night. Although every spe-
cial interest in the State is fighting
him, he is confident of victory. All
he asks now is square count. The
people of the State are with him
and il the votes are counted as
they are cast, Hanson will be the
next United States Senator from
the State of Washington.

URGE CITIZENS TO VOTE
FOR PROHIBITION BILL

The Lynden Temperance Commit
tee held it's last prediction meet
ing Monday evening. The business
part of the meeting was mostly con-
fined to making arrangements for
getting out as full vote as pos
sible.
Outside meetings had been held
ut Delta, Glendale and North Prai-
rie and reports from them indicat-
ed good attendance and lively inter-
est. Meetings were arranged for
Sunshine school house Tuesday
evening, NorthwOOd grange hall
Wednesday evening, Ten Mile
Thursday evening and Wiser Lake
grange hall Friday evening.
The absence of Rev. Mrs. Jen-
nings, who was called away to a
far distant state was severely felt
She was an earnest and able work
er for the temperance cause and
The committee could not even ex-
tend vote of thanks to her and
he trustees of the Baptist Church
for the free use Of that edifice for
these meetings. The committee
would also express its gratitude to
The business men of Lynden for
their generous donation of adver-
.tsing space and for other courtesies
and hopes that No. will be voted
into law, that there may be an OPP
Dortunity all over the state for
such business conditions to pre-
vail, as is the pride of dry Lynden.
On account of the very large
registration in this precinct the
committee urges all who can vote
before noon, so as to avoid jam
or crowd late in the day, and ii
urges all to vote, for the issue can
not be ignored. AS was expressed,
if you can vote for No. 3. and ne
glect to do so, you cast half a vote
for the saloon.
