'0Time flies, anu ilis GIT; nd IS press ing one" said Minot. ''-Am I right ill assuming, MT. Wall. that you are Lord Harrowby's friend:'
 "Just what is your interest in the matter?' Wall inquired
 ''The same as yours. l. am Harrow. sy's friend. Now. MT. Wall, this is the situatian as see it: Wanted, board and room in a quiet ncighborhood for NIT. George Narrowly Far from the street cars, the vaudeville stage, the wedding march, and other disturbing elements. And, what is more, think I've found the quiet neighborhood. l think it's right here aboard the Li- leth.''
 "Oh, indeedr'
 "Yes. A simple affair to arrange, Mir Wall. Trimmer and his live prop osition are just about due for their final appearance of the night at the opera house right now. I will call at the stage door and lead MT. Trimmer away after his little introductory speech. I will keep him away until you and couple of your sailors-I suggest the two I met so informally in the North river-have met the vau- deville lord at the stage door and gen tly, but firmly, persuaded him to come aboard this boat"

 Exactly. He was fearfully rattled, was Meyrick. My word, how he did go on! Considers his daughter humil1- ated by the antics of that creature we saw on the stage tonight. Can't say blame him, either, The wedding is in definitely postponed, unless that inn postor is removed from the scene i'm mediately.'
 "Oh-unless,'' said Minot His heart sank. His smile vanished.
 Unless was the word, fancy" said Narrowly, blinking wisely
 .Lord Narrowly" Minot began, ''you intimated the ether day that this man might really be your brother k ".No," Narrowly broke in. ."Impossi- ble. I got a good look at the chap to- night He's no more a Harrowby than you are.''
 "You give me your word for that?'
 Absolutely. Even after twenty years of America no Narrowly would

 T have noted it. he said. .In other words, go on to the stage now, fol- lowing the man who followed the train ed seals. I thought my role was that of Cupid, but it begins to look more like Captain Kidd. An, well, I'll do my best" He stood up. 'Im going out into the soft moonlight for a little while, Lord Harrowby While Pm gone you might call Spencer Meyrick up and ask him to do nothing definite in the way of potponement until he hears from -us-er-you."
 Splendid of you, really,'' said liar rowby enthusiastically as .Minot held open the door for him. T had the feel ing I could fall back on you"
 And I have the feeling that you've fallen,''' smiled Minot. "So long. Bet ter wait up for my report y Fifteen minutes later, seated n 8 smc rcsvboat on the starry waters of the harbor, Minot was loudly saluting the yacht Lieth. Finally Mir. Martin Wall appeared at the rail-
 "Well, what d'you want?" he de handed.
 "A word with you, MT. Wall" Minot answered. 'Will you be good enough to let down your accommodation lad der?"
 For moment Wall hesitated. And Minot, watching him, knew why he hesitated. He suspected that the young man in the tiny boat there or the calm, bright waters had come te repay call earlier in the evenings call made while the host was out. Al last he decided to let down tae ladder

 Il U "A clever scheme he said. C What would you say was the penalty for Kidnapping in this state?"
 ''Oh, why look it up?' asked NLinot carelessly. "Surely Martin Wall is not afraid of a backwoods constable"
 What do you mean by that, my boy?'' said Wall, with an ugly stare.
 "What do you think I mean?' Mi not smiled back "I'd be very glad to take the role I've assigned you I can't help feeling that it will be more entertaining than the one I have. The difficulty in the way is Trimmer. believe I am better fitted to engage his attention. know him better than you do and he trusts me, begging your pardon, farther"
 'sHe did give me nasty dig," said Wall, flaming at the recollection. 'The noisy mountebank! We'll, my boy, your young enthusiasm has won me. I'll do what can.'
 And you can do lot. Watch me until you see me lead Trimmer away, then get his pet. I'll steer Trimmer somewhere near the beach and keep an eye on the Lileth. When you get George safely aboard wave red light in the bow. Then Trimmer and shall part company for the night"
 "I'm on,' said Wall rising. "Any- thing to help Narrowly And this won't be the first time I've waited at the stage door,"
 "Right-o!' said Minot "But don't stop to buy champagne supper for a trained seal, will you? I don't want to have to listen to MT. Trimmer all night
 They rowed ashore in company with two husky members of the yachts crew, and ten minutes later Minot was walking with the pompous MT. Trimmer through the quiet plaza. He had told that gentleman that he came from Allan Narrowly to talk terms, and Trimmer was puffed with pride accordingly.
 "So Mr. Narrowly has come to his senses at last?" he said "Well, l thought this vaudeville business would bring him round, although I must sa; I'm a bit disappointed down i'll m heart.

To Hon Il l. Williams Governor Of

Dear Sir Allow me to answer The

In the first place all members Of the
County Election Board were present
when we made acquisitions on the
State Election Board for state bal
lots; in ordering our ballots we based
the number on the vote cast in 1914,
and did not think of there being any
shortage. Some precincts We were a
little short on state ballots, but had
two thirds the voters that failed to
vote voted for Walker aud we was
about ITO votes short in the county,
then Walker would have been de
fea,ed.

hood thai ! ever removed the ballots
from the boxes or entrusted them tc
