With the dusk the luxurious limou-

sat the precious June and Mrs. Willard,
Tommy Thomas. Orin Cunningham
and Gilbert Blye. Strange what diff
ference this day had made in Iune's
feeling toward these people. They liked
her. If their views of life were not her
views she could keep her own. They
seemed to have discovered that she
meant to retain her ways of thinking
and living. and it WAS so much nicer

They turned their eyes as by one ac-

twisted and puckered for some time

happy. He could be alone for twenty

Inclosed in the missive was a heavy
white card engraved in script:

terlined in ink. Annette read the in
vitation and then handed it to Inez.
Good" exclaimed Inez. These are
worth while-these shipboard dances"
Five minutes later she called up
private number on the wire in her
boudoir, waiting impatiently until she
heard a voice she knew. Then she
talked rapidly, almost in a whisper.
'It's worth taking chance, is 1t
not?" she queried.
"Ah," returned the voice at the 9th
er end of the wire, I'VE do nothing
without chances. We shall take a
chance. Farewell"
It must be understood that an able
seaman like Neal Hardin, while his
good behavior, his natural aptitude
and his general Inability gave him
many privileges-yet he was still the
victim of caste-naval caste. AS a
civilian he might travel with ladies
of dignity, such as his mother, and
young women of style and beauty,
such as Annette Ilington and her
friend, Irene Courtier; but as chief
petty officer remarked to Neal-"A
ball on board the Alabama is not for
able seamen, not so you could notice
it, my boy. STILL" he added, clapping
Neal upon the shoulder, "I'll try and
get you a place on the back stairs
where you can look on and see the
swells."
Figuratively speaking, he got him
q place on the back stairs without
much difficulty, and after Neal had
spent a day in assisting his fellow
able seamen in polishing up every
thing aboard the Alabama that could
be polished, and in swabbing every
thing aboard her that could bC

They were both drinking from the

OF course the unexpected naval-se-

hotel created some sensation-as we'll

young women, Miss Irene Courtier

Newport is a place of many happen
ings-sensational and otherwise-and
after all the Crooked Crag had been
raided many times before.
In its balmy days it had been clev-
erly constructed and maintained as
a secluded gambling place for New
York millionaires, a place full of cub
by holes and uncanny getaways. For
the thirteenth time in its history it
was closed up and its proprietor
Jailed.
But the three weird characters who
had been the cause of all the vio-
lence still remained in hiding-Her-
nandez, the Portuguese adventurer;
Ponto, his Mexican side partner, and
their strange and unusual companion,
the brute.
Annette. for her part, gave full de-
scriptions of these three to the au-

to the clubhouse and was regarded by
all as a full-fledged Republican"
This "turn-coat' policy of the
Democratic candidate for County Re-
corder does not go down well with
Democrats who have been faithful to
their party principles for years and
who believe that there are Democrats
enough to fill all nominations without
going outside the party to drum up
candidates.
Bosses Lukewarm
Strange enough. while Fritchey's
candidacy was not seriously opposed
by the bosses of the Democratic ma
chine at the primaries. he is not get
ting much support from them at
present. They are very lukewarm in
his behalf and it is limited from head
quarters that the chief boss of the
Dauphin county machine would really
breathe sigh of relief If Fritchey is
soundly beaten. For many years this
man has striven to overcome the po-
litical Influence of DIR. John A.
Fritchey brother of the candidate in
this city and county. He has wrested
the control of the party away from
the elder Fritchey at great expense of
money and effort and it is not very
likely that he will go to much pains
to elevate young Fritchey to one of
the most influential offices in the
county. thereby giving the Fritcheys a
fresh foothoTd in Dauphin county
politics.
If it had not been for the Demo-
cratic boss in question, Albert Fritchey
would now be postmaster. The chief
boss turned Fritchey down and named
Sites for the reason that while it was
generally understood he would sup
port young Fritchey for the place. he
was afraid of putting the elder
kaI,,o s.Ir f.,k
his recognized political cunning would
enable him to again come into control
of the Democratic party machinery in
this county. For the same reason the
chief boss is said to be willing to let
Fritchey go by the board this time.
