VIII have twenty-three horses from
Knoxville, Iowa, bought from the farms
where they were raised they are from
four to six years old. Mr. D. b. MILKY
went to Iowa first of February and took
plenty of time to get load of young
horses; there are ten mares in the load.
He said when he left he would not have
one over six years old There will be
some good trades in this load. for they
were bought when there were not so
many looking to buy, for it was cold and
quiet and good time to buy good trades.
If You are in want of young horse weigh

them to you. If you take one home and
don't like him we will give you your

Judge Gilbert picked up the tele-
phone on the table and asked Will
liams, his secretary, who sat in the
outer Office, to get Mr.. Wright at the
Belmont News on the line for him.
Judge Gilbert's Offices consisted of
an outer room where sat his secre-
tary; within, where Kerr and his lieu
tenants were in conference, was the
library, large room looking out on
the main thoroughfore of Belmont;
and from this, opposite the outer re-
ception room, then opened, two
smaller rooms. one of which Gilbert
used as his private office, the other
as room for consultations.

reach the conclusion that in some way

caused her to soothe him with the
remark:

cause you're head and shoulders above

She might not love him, but her
pride in him and her loyalty to him
were all the greater for the lack of

for not having that true filtal regard
which other daughters had for their
fathers, and therefore whenever she
could she strengthened her faith in
him as Belmont's leading citizen.

CHAPTER XII.

On the day Of his interview with
McMinitry Kerr had asked Kendall
and DR.. Hayes to meet him at Judge
Gilbert's Office directly after luncheon.
At this conference he intended 10 tell
them they would have to acquire the
News. The transfer of the property
need not be made until after the
election, but he wanted to know at
once that it was his.
The boss was late, and the three
men had to wait some time for him.
81 wouldn't want the boys to know
it." said Gilbert disconsolately, "but
I'm afraid he's got us beat"
Kendall was hopeful still,
"It's three days till election" he
urged. Anything can happen in that
time"
81 wish / believed in miracles like
you dc" was DR.. Hayes rueful COM
ment.
only miracle can save u.s." added
Judge Gilbert gloomily.
II tell you, gentlemen" insisted
Kendall, II still think Dave Kerr can
swing it."
"All the same" answered the cor
oner, when | went out to stick my
good money in real estate options on
factory sites l wash I'd been riding
Balaam's ass
The others laugh at his expense
was cut short by the entrance Of Da-
vid Kerr.
"How S it look, Mr.. Kerr asked
Gilbert.
1T might be worse" was the reply.
1--WE count the votes, don't WEI"
Gilbert was not optimistic.
I'm afraid 1t isn't going to be that
close"
Have you heard anything from the
eleventh." queried Kendall.
81 had talk with Sweeney this
morning, and he said he could put
enough stock-yards people in the lev
enth to deliver the ward all right.
Bauerschmidt was In my Office at the
same time He's up against it in the
sixth"
Then we can't count on much out
side the river wards said Kendall
Kerr nodded his head. He could
have added that the river ward men
would vote early and often, but that
there was no occasion for it. 1t was
an open secret that for several weeks
floaters had been colonized in the
levee district.
I'VE can't count on much besides
