my watch house here and slip on

Thereafter for two evenings a
slouching figure, suggesting some
tramp wayfarer looking for free
lunch and lodging meandered by
the Barrett home. On the first oc-
casion Clio, in the garden, managed
to slip note over the fence. On
the second she was near enough to
the stroller to catch the words: BE
on hand" and her pretty lips whis-
pered the agreeable response: Every
evening at this hour"
So it was that those two had a
pretty thorough understanding of
the situation, when, one evening just
at dusk Mr.. Barrett drove up to the
curb in his automobile. He was an
active public officer and attentive to
his duties, and was bound back for
his office as soon as dinner was over.
Mr.. Barrett attended all fires,
courts and public meetings so as to
keep in touch with everything affect
ing the civic interest. He had a reg
ular alarm bell attached to his ma
chine, it's tones so familiar to the
general public that the people cleared
the way promptly when its signal
tones echoed out.
What happened two minutes
after Mr.. Barrett had left the car
was that Gerald sprang into the va
Gated drivers seat from behind a
tree. At the same moment Clio
squeezed her way through the hedge.
Just as she got into the rear seat of
the machine her father appeared un-
expectedly. He had left package
of papers in the auto and had re-
turned to secure them.
Gerald with a leap sent the ma
chine forward, disregarding the
amazed and threatening shouts of

he looked up with a start
Excuse me-" said the bridgeten-
der, for it was he, "but 1 want to
thank you"
ooh, yes-you are Fenton. Got
the job, did your"
Eyes, sir, and your recommends
ton it was that did it,
Fenton, rough and ready young
fellow, had been sent by friend to
Gerald and he on account of his &C
tivity in the mayoralty campaign
had been able to exert some influence
with the county board. Now, it
seemed, his recommendation had |
borne fruit.
'Glad you got placed" said Ger
aid heartily.
Eyes, sir" spoke the man humbly. |
will you excuse me if l say some
thing?"
Gerald nodded agreeably.
well, sir, I've got eyes and I've
been hearing things. You know this
bridge appointment is county bust
ness, so the mayor has nothing tod
do with it. l was against the mayor
He'd fire me if he could. He hates

is a jewel, though. Say, could ven

fellow, that you want letter taken
to the little miss? Oh, sir, you can
trust me-"
Now that was just what Gerald
wanted done He engaged in a con-
fidential talk with lbs new ally. He
felt confidence in his protestation of
fealty. He was surprised to find the
man full of clever suggestions, and
when he left the bridge an hour later
he was sure that the letter would

They give the alarm when trouble
approaches, and the warning is disre
garded at ones peril When Roy

What troubled Walt most was tha'
Janet not only would not acknowl-
edge the truth to him, but wa
obviously even trying to hide 1t from
herself. For weeks past he nae
watchd with distress her strenuous
work in David Temples office. He
knew her promotion had laid great
responsibilities on her, But he hate'
10 interfere with her development as
she saw lit to pursue il or disturb th'
course of work which was to her suen
source Of pleasure and pride.
With heavy heart he watched her
bright color fade and her moods OF
sprightly vitality lapse into fits OF
weary depression. He welcomed Roy
Nicoll's offers OF motor rides and
country dinners with what cordialit"
he could muster, hoping they would
stimulate and rest Janet. Sometimes
he went along himself But oftener he
declined as he had done tonight, FOR
fear Janet might think he did not
trust them.
Now he resolved upon firmness.

voiced earnestness. you shall tell

vacation or you'll be desperately ILL.,

Louisville, KY, Feb. 22.-ln a

was killed; his daughter, Geneva,

two hours later at the city hospital,
and his wife, Mrs. Della Hall, 81,
suffered four bullet wounds of which
she is dying.
The shooting occurred as the fam
lily was sitting down to the evening
meal. Armed with pistol she had
concealed in her lap, Mrs. Hall re-
turned her husbands fire when he,
crazed by alleged infidelity on her
part, fired the first shot. The daugh-
ter was shot through the lower
chest as she crouched under a sink
for safety. Another daughter, Lola

when the duel began and escaped
unwounded to the street.
Behind the three words Third

phone wire by Hall a few. minutes
before the enactment of the tragedy,
lies the solution of the murders.
Police believe the words came to
Hall from the lips of spies who had
been detailed by the puddler to
watch the movements of the wife.
They are searching for two young
men who watched the Hall resi-
dence yesterday and followed the
wife when she left home early in
the afternoon.

Regardless of our choice in the
matter we feel called upon to an
nounce that the race for the Repub-
lican nomination will narrow down
to a contest between Hughes and
Roosevelt. Neither of these states
men are seeking the Presidency, but
either of them would fill the bill.
Justice Hughes is one of the logical
men to unite the Republican party
and although he has announced that
he is not candidate we cannot be-
lieve he would refuse the nomination
were it offered him. We would like
to take one long look at the eyes of
the man who is too big to be Presi-
dent of this great country, and with
all respect to our Democratic friends
who feel it their duty to support
Wilson, we do say that is just
about what the Republican nomina-
ton means. Democratic newspa-
pers never miss a chance to take a
Shot at the IDOL OF many an Amerl-
can common heart and it seems to
us they admit their fears by SO do
ing. We have said before that we do
not favor the nomination of Roose-
welt, but we repeat the assertion that
we will not seek another emblem in
case Roosevelt's name appears Nn-
der the cabin. Furthermore we have
confidence in the man and know
that he is capable of handling our
national business. 1t is surprising
to realize the support he really has
among the common people, and there
are few in Ohio county who will not
support him If nominated. Stranger
things have happened in politics than
the nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt.

MINEKS' DEMANDS
GOOD FEELING PREVAILS WHILE
URGING NEW WAGE SCALE
AT JOINT CONFERENCE.

New York, Feb. 1.-Anthracite
operators and miners representing
$4,000 workers met in joint confer
ence here today to arrange a new
agreement to replace the one that ex-
pires March 31.-The ten demands
presented by the officers of the Unit
ed Mine Workers were referred to a
joint subcommittee with instructions
to work out, II possible, satisfactory
wage scale and report to the full con-
ference. The subcommittee imme-
diately went into session, organized
and adjourned to meet here at 1 D.
m. next Monday. Thus. for the first
time in the history of the joint hard
coal wage conferences, the demands
of the miners union were not
promptly rejected when formally
presented.
The mine workers were cordially
received by the coal operators and
the best of feeling prevailed during
the joint conference. An unpreced-
ented incident was the applauding
of John p. White, international pres
ident of the United Mine Workers.
by some of the operators when he
concluded fervid speech in present
ing the demands of the men.
The representatives of the miners
expressed themselves as pleased with
the attitude of the operators, and
said they found nothing in the joint
conference to lead them to believe
that an amicable settlement would
not be reached. A speech by s. d.
Warmer, of Philadelphia, president
of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company.replying to the miners ad-
dresses, was termed conciliatory by
the union officers and made a good
impression on them. the miners said.
The weeks adjournment of nego-
tiations was taken. 1t was said, be-
cause It did not suit the convenience
of both sides to continue considera-
tion of the demands this week. Some
of the operators had business engage
ments within the next few days and
the international officers of the union
participated in the conference have
arranged to hold a further confer
ence here with bituminous operators
from the, Middle West beginning
Thursday. t-t
Thirty-seven operators and thirty
