 thought [ had still good bit, of a start, for as I reasoned 1t would take some hours to fix the blame on me and several more to identify the fellow who got on board the train at St. Pancras.
 It was the same jolly clear spring weather, and I simply could not con triye to feel careworn. Indeed, was in better spirits than I, had been for months. Over a long ridge of moor land l. took my road, skirting the side of a high hill which the herd had call ed Cairnsmore of Fleet.
 Nesting curlews and plovers were crying everywhere, and the links of green pasture by the streams were dot ted with young lambs. All the slack ness of the past months was slipping from my bones, and I stepped out like four-year-old. By and by came to a swell of moorland which dipped to the vale of l4ttle river, and.a mile awry in the heather saw the smoke of a train.
 The station when reached 1t proved to be ideal for my purpose. The moor surged up around it and left room only for the single line, the slender siding, a waiting room. an office, the station masters cottage and tiny yard of eooseberries and sweet william.
 There seemed no road to it from a1a6- where, and to increase the desolation the waves of loch lappsd on their gray granite beach half a mile away. I waited in the deep heather till saw the smoke of an east going train on the horizon. Then approached the tiny booking office and took ticket for Dumfries.
 The only occupants Of the carriage. were an old shepherd and his dog, wall eyed brute that mistrusted. The man was asleep, and on the cushiops beside him was that mornings Scots man. Eagerly I seized on it, for fancied it would tell me something.
 There were two columns about tle Portland place murder, as 1t was call ed. My man Paddock had given the alarm and had the rnilkman arrested. Poor devil! It looked as if the latter had earned his sovereign hardly, But for me be had been cheap at the price, for he seemed to have occupied the police the better part of the day.
 In the stop press news I found fur Eher installment of the story.
 The milkman had been released, I read, and the true criminaL about whose identity the police were reti- cent, was believed to have got away from London by one of the northern lines. There was short note about me as the owner of the flat.
 I guessed the police had stuck that in as a clumsy contrivance to persuade me that I VRs unsuspected.
 There was Lothing else in the paper nothing about foreign politics or Ka- rolides or the things thaC had inter ested Scudder. I laid it down and found that we were approaching the station at which I had got out yester- day. The potato digging station mas ter had been gingered up into some activity, for the west going train was waiting 10 let us pass, and from 1t had descended three men, who were aSkinO him o0oSfi0uS

CHAPTER w. The Mysterious AercpIane.

VI SUPPOSED that they were the
 local police who had been stirred
 up by Scotland Yard and had traced me as far as this one horse siding.
 Sitting well back in the shadow, watched them carefully. One of them had a book and took down notes. The old potato digger seemed to have turn ed peevish, but the child who had col 1ected my ticket was talking volubly. All the party looked out across the moor where the white IAad departed I hoped they were going to take up my tracks there.
 As we moved away from that sta ton my companion woke up. He fixed me with a wondering glance, kicked his dog victous1y and inquired where he was. Clearly he was very drunk.

OF United State Senators has been
put into the hands Of the people.
These questions OF sobriety, hon.
esty and decency strike us as
vastly more important than the
enactment OF the anti-pass law
and the agitation Of other ques-
.tions of little moment to the peo-
pie. The democratic candidate
ought to be made to show up right
on the questions named or be
allowed to remain at home to
wonder who hit him in the No
vember election. Lexington Prog
ress, Oct. 26."
Think this over. Can you as q
voter indorse the record of my
opponent, Mr.. T. K. Reynolds, as
such that favors the farmers and
taxpayers? AS such that is for
economy in the affairs of the state?
AS such that is helping the country
schools and country high schools?
Does his record commend itself to
you upon business propositions
and principles that affect your
welfare? II you approve his record,
vote for him. But, on the other
hand, regardless of whether you
are a democrat or republican, if
what | stand for, will the better
serve your interests, ask you to
to vote for me. If my name is not
printed on your ticket, and you
want TO vote for me, write it on
your ticket and then make an X
mark either to right or to left OF
same.

A Democratic Opinion.

A democratic paper, the Licking.
ton Progress, published at Lexing-
ton, Tennessee, by W. B. Barry &
Son, in its issue of Oct. 20, 1916,
expressed a real democratic opinion
in the following language:
There is a republican candidate
for foater over at Dresden, who
had a card in the Carroll County
Democrat, who is talking out in
advance and who seems to have
a democratic opponent who does
not boast Of a very savory record
while serving in the last general
assembly, if the house journal has
properly recorded his votes. This
man who calls himself a republi-
can says that he stands for no
interference with the custer law,
that he opposes legalizing horse
racing gambling, that be opposes
any backward step as to temper
ance legislation and that he will
work and vote for such temper
ance legislation as will stand the
test Of the supreme court, that he
is for the betterment Of the schools
of the state and that he will op-
pose appropriating the public
school funds for the support Of the
polytechnic-institute at Cookeville.
This mans name is Charles A.
Ogan, and the things that he
stands for in his race for the lower
house are such as to commend
him to the consideration Of the
best people, regardless of poll
tics-and there is now no politics
in the legislature since the election

A LARGE CROWD
HEARS HOOPER.
Met at Depot by Big Reception Committee Rid
iDgin Sixteen Automobiles FIOWerSH
Miss Ida May Bowers.

When Gov. Hooper reached the
courthouse last Friday to deliver
his first speech in Dresden be was
greeted by a packed house, while
many stood upon the outside, I'M
able to get inside. The number
seated and standing was about 500.
Mr.. Hooper was met at the de-
pot by a brass band from Milan,
employed by local friends and sup
porters, and escorted to the square.
After a short rest at Hotel Bowers.
where he held an informal recep-
ton, meeting many old friends, he
went to the courthouse and was
appropriately introduced by R. w.
Eskridge, former chairman OF the
republican committee Of this coun-
ty,and today chiefrepublican mogul
for all West Tennessee.
MI. Hoope1's speech was along
usual lines, except that he severely
criticised the appointment by the
state board Of election commission
ers Of Hon. ]. l.. Parham, OF Mem
phis, to succeed Judge Steen, re-
signed, this appointment taking
place last Thursday. In this con-
nection, Gov. Hooper said be was
preparing to make fight for an
honest election in Memphis. He
said that the newspapers there had
been demanding that Memphis be
freed from the odium of stolen
votes and stuffed ballot boxes. Ten
thousand fraudulent votes, he
charged, were cast in Memphis in
both the August and November
elections, 1914. In further refer
ence to this matter, be said:
"A thing happened yesterday
which means trouble to the friends
of honest elections in Memphis.
Judge Steen resigned as a member
OF the Shelby county election COM
mission, to the great chagrin and
disappointment Of well-informed
people all over the state who had
looked to him for a clean election
in Memphis in November. Judge
Steen is an honest man and would
not permit the further disgrace Of
his city by the domination Of
force and fraud at the polls.
Yesterday the state board Of
elections selected as the successor
Of Judge Steen, J. L. Parham, a
ward politician, member OF the
Crump machine and a senator
from Shelby in the last legislature,
This is an i'll omen for honest
elections, but | intend to spare no
trouble to see that election thievery
is blocked in the coming cleo
ton. l expect to have an organi-
cation that will know what is done
at every polling place in Memhis.

publicans have no hope Of carry

At the conclusion of the address,
which was listened to attentively
and literally applauded, Mr., Hoop
or was presented a boquet Of
flowers by little Miss Ida May
Bowers, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Duke G. Bowers Gov. Hooper
responded feelingly, saying he was
for the women and especially for

CANDIDATES EVEN
ON FINAL LAP
Drift During Week UnquesdORaby Toward PTesSI-
dent Republican Nominee Shows
Loss Of Il Per Cent.

New York, Oct. 28.-The New
York Herald's political canvass
for the week shows a neck.and-
neck race as the wire is neared in
the presidential race. The Herald's
summary Of the results Of its work
follows:
Entered upon its final lap, the
race for the presidency is still q
neck-and.neck contest.
The president has been making
gains in the Herald's national
straw vote, but the republicans
assert that the Wilson tide reached
its highest point several days ago
and is now falling off.
In the total vote published to.
day President Wilson shows a
gain of one per cent and Mr.
Hughes shows a loss Of one and
one-tenth per cent.
During the week the president
made gains, large and small, in
eighteen states. Mr.. Hughes made
gains in eight. There were no inn
portant changes in the totals from
nine states.
In New York City the president
gained. Upstate Mr.. Hughes
made advances.
The drift during the week was
unquestionably in the presidents
direction. In the opinion of both
republicans and democrats, the
campaign hung on a dead center
several days ago. The republicans
declare that since that time the
swing has been in their direction
The democrats do not contend
that there has been continuation
of the marked drift of two weeks
ago, but feel confident that the
strong current driving in theil
direction up to the time there
came a lull was sufficient to over
come any back drift which may b.
started by the republicans.
