turned to the fire. He staggered as
he walked

days more-forty miles-two days"
Kazan watched him as he. entered
the tent He laid his weight against
the end of his chain until the collar
shut off his wind. His legs and back
twitched. In that tent where Radisson
had gone were Joan and the baby. He
knew that Pierre would not hurt
them, but he knew also that with
Pierre Radisson something terrible
and impending was lowering very near
to them. He wanted the man outside
by the fire-where he could lie still,
and watch him.
In the tent there was silence Near
er to him than before came Gray VOLTS
cry. Each night she was calling ear
lier. and coming closer to the camp.
He wanted her very near to him to-
night, but he did not even whine in
response. He dared not break that
strange silence in the tent. He lay
still for a long time, tired and lame
from the days journey, but sleepless.
The fire burned lower; the wind in
the tree-tOps died away; and the thick
gray clouds rolled like a massive cur
tain from under the skies. The stars
began to glow white and metallic, and
from far in the North there came
family crisping moaning sound, like
steel sleigh-runners running over
frosty snow-the mysterious mono
tone of the Northern Lights. After

made, and when Kazan heard her

with his head erect, and his body rig
i'd, save for a curious twitching of his
muscles. There was new note in
Gray VOLTS voice, wailing note in
which there was more than the mate

sound of it Kazan rose from out of his
silence and his fear, and with his
head turned straight up to the sky
he howled as the wild dogs of the
North howl before the tepees of mas
ters who are newly dead.
Pierre Radisson was dead.

So many persons were pleased with

the piers at Atlantic City if a sutable
booking could be arranged. No effort

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
'Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. just plain mulsitied
eocoanut oil (which is pure aud en-
tirely grcaslcss), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, and clcanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust dirt, dandruii
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves {
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
TO manage.
You can get mnlsiied cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II is very
cheap, aud a few ounces is enough TO
last everyone in the family for
months.

The Topic Secretary Bris-

rest OF the Democratic ticket. Even
in Louisville, which he carried by a
large majority, he ran nearly $500
votes behind the majority of the Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress; In Ken
ton county (city of Covington) he re-
ceived 1889 votes less than the vote
for the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress; in Campbell county (city OF
NewporD he received 1882 less; in
Fayette county (city of lexington
which he should have carried by 1,200,
he carried by only 1877; and so it was
in every city where there was liquor
vote. Even in Henderson county, Mr..
Stanley's home, Governor Beckham
ran about 200 or $50 votes behind the
ticket, even though Stanley made a
speech there before the election, os-
tensibly for the ticket, but it happen
ed that in the five or six places where
he did speak in that campaign, Beck
ham, the nominee, lost votes, for STAN
ley's speeches were not intended to
help him. Notwithstanding all of this
detection and boiling, Governor Beck
ham won over his Republican OPP
ponent, Governor Wilson, by $4,000
majority, the largest majority given
80 years. SO the threat of Mr. Stanley
and his whisky and beer supporters
proved to be futile and empty.
1t is the same old trick they are
trying to work again on the Democrats
this year But it will fool only the
unthinking or the ignorant. Mr.. Nc
Chesney Is undoubtedly the strong t
candidate the Democrats can ncmi-
nate for Governor. He will be elected
beyond doubt; he may lose many ve-y
wet Democrats in the liquor centels,
Just as Beckham did last year, but he
will more than make it up in the coun-
try districts ana in the mountains. &c

sands of temperance Republicans and
Independents that they Will support
him, IL he is nominated over Mr.. Nor
row, who is well known as a wet man.
It is no use for Mr. Stanley to argue
that, because the Republicans will
nominate a wet candidate for Cover
nor on a wet platform, the Democrats
should do the same thing, and get into
a race with the Republican ticket to
see which can bid the highest for the
whiskey and beer votes Of the state.

might as well stand aside. The people

The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-07-21

The liquor candidates and the liquor
stem the rapidly increasing strength
OF Mi. McChesney, and to prevent, II
possible, what seems to be his prob
able nomination as the Democratic
candidate for Governor in the August
primary have been industriously cir
culating the report that if he is nomi-
mated he can not be elected in No
vember. They base this statement
upon the idea that the whiskey and
beer Democrats would not vote for
him, or for any other dry Democrat,
If he is nominated. In other words,
they admit that, although the liquor
Democrats will take very active part
In the primary against McChesney,
they will not hesitate, il he is nomi-
mated, to bolt his nomination and vote
for the Republican ticket. There Is
some truth in that threat, for that is
just what they have been doing for
many years. Most of them do not
seem to be bound, by any sense of hon
or or obligation, to support the nomi-
nee after they have taken part in the
primary. Admitting to be true their
purpose to bolt IL Mr.. McChesney is
nominated, and that is what this talk
amounts to when they say he could
not be elected, let us see whether or
not it Is to be feared.
The people of Kentucky remember
very we'll that in the Senatorial pri-
mary last year, the same kind of talk
and threats we're used against Govern
or Beckham. Mr.. Stanley, the liquor
candidate for the Senate then, as he is
the liquor candidate for Governor now,
used the same argument; so did the
same liquor newspapers. What this
argument amounted to in effect was
that, II Beckham was nominated, the
whiskey and beer Democrats would
bolt him, while IL Stanley should be
nominated he would get all OF those
votes and also the votes Of the tenn
perance Democrats, who would be too
honorable and too good Democrats, to
bolt the party nominee after they had
taken part in the primary. The result
of that primary should be fresh in the
memory of Kentucky Democrats. With
all the power and wealth of the dis
tilleries, the breweries, and the saloons
back of him, Stanley was defeated by
q substantial majority. Beckham was
nominated and large majority of the
liquor Democrats did bolt him in the
November election. 1t Is necessary
only to look at the returns from that
election to demonstrate it.
In all of the cities and liquor centers
Beckham ran considerably behind the
