or. rather. with the practically certain
rediscovery of them by the mob--Mir-
apolis will jump to the front rank as
gold camp. and the reclamation serv-
ice will have to call a halt on the Buck

Leshington's long. plain-song face
grew wooden. "You say practically

be rediscovered? Bet any of you a

''They didn't need any new stunts.
They had the world by the ear, as it
was"
That's all right" returned Leshing-
ton; maybe they didn't. I heard a
thing or two over at Bongras' last
night. that set me guessing. There was
piece of gossip coming up the pike
about the railroad pulling out of the
game. or, rather, that it had already
pulled out"
Once more silence fell upon the
group in the mapping room, and this
time 1t was Grislow who broke it.
81 suppose Harlan is getting ready
to exploit the new sensation right?'
he suggested, and Arson nodded.
'You can trust Harlan for that.
He's got the valley wire subsidized,
and he is waiting for the first man to

gets the facts he'll touch OF the fire.

Il wish to goodness Brouillard would
turn up and get busy on his job. It's
something hideous to be stranded this
way in the thick of STORM"
ITS time somebody was getting
busy" snarled Handley. There are
hundred tons of fresh concrete lying
in the forms. just as they were dumped
with no puddlers--to say nothing OF
half as muck freezing to solid rock
right now IN the mixers and on the
telphers."
Grislow got up and reached for his
coat and hat.
I'm going out to hunt for the boss,
he said, "and you fellows had better
do the same. If this is one of Cort
wright's flip-faps. and Brouillard hap
pened to be in the way, wouldn't put
it beyond ]. Wesley to work some kind
of disappearing racket on the human

At the other extremity of the trajec-
tory Of Grislow's telltale fieldglass
Brouillard was summing himself luxu-
riously on the porch step at the Mas

spelled absence from the woman he
loved. But Miss Massingale was in

CHAPTER XII
Bedlam
~ ~

It was between two and three
o'clock in the afternoon of the day il
which Mirapolis went placer mao
when word came to the reclamation
service headquarters that the power
was cut off and that there were ne
longer men enough at the mixers ant
on the forms to keep the work going
| if the power should come on again.
Handley, the new fourth assistant
brought the news, dropping heavily in
to chair and showing his hat to the
back of his head to mop his scanned
and sun-browned face.
why the devil didn't you fellows
turn out?" he demanded savagely OF
Leshington, Arson and Grislow, who
were lounging in the Office and very
pointedly waiting for the lightning to
strike. "Gassman and l have done
everything but commit cold-blooded
murder to hold the men on the Job.
Where's the boss?"
Nobody knew. and Grislow, at least,
was visibly disturbed at the question.
1t was Arson who seemed to have the
latest information about Brouillard.
"He came in about eleven O'Clock,
rIImmaged for minute or two in that
drawer you've got your foot on. Grizzly,
and then went out again. Anybody
seen him SINGER"
There was a silence to answer the
query, and the photographer righted
his chair abruptly and closed the
opened drawer he had been utilizing
for a foot-rest. He had a long mem
DRY for trifes, and at the mention of
the drawer a disquieting picture had
flashed itself upon the mental screen.
There were two figures in the picture.
Brouillard and himself, and Brouillard
was tossing the little buckskin sack
of gold nuggets into the drawer. where
it had lain undisturbed ever since-un-
til now.
Moreover, Grislows news Of Brouil-

the silence had grown almost portent-

How To Mark The Ballot.

The voter this year will find upon
the ballot, to be marked on Tuesday
next the list of eight electors eacn
for the FIVE parties: Democratic,
Republican, Prohibition, Socialist
and Labor. In addition will be
found the names of the nominees for
u. s. Senator of each of these parties,
the names of the Congressional nomi-
nees of the Democratic, Republican
and Prohibition parties, and suqares
in which to vote for or against the
Constitutional Amendment.
The voter does not cast his ballot
directly for President and Vice Presi-
dent, but votes for eight electors
who represent the candidates of his
choice in the Electoral College. But
in order to simplify the marking of
the ballot, the law provides that the
names of the candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the res
pective parties shall be PLACID upon
the ballot, and that one mark in the
SQudI0 az IA0 AA6AS Va SAOAA AA1AAOS
shall be equivalent to marking for
the eight electors OF that party.
The Presidential part Of the bal
lot comes first, and to vote for the
electors but one crossmark is neces-
sary, placed opposite the names of
the President and Vice President of
your choice.
Additional cross marks are re-
quired placed opposite the names of
the Senatorial and Congressional
nominees Of your choice, and cross
mark for or against the constitu-
tional amendment.
Thus it will be seen that despite
the array of names of electors, the
ballot is very simple one to vote
this year, and requires but four cross
marks.

Hayre de Grace is among the
"wet" spots of the State when vote
on the prohibition question Will De
taken Tuesday next, but you would
never know 1t from either OF the
newspapers published in the town.
Evidently neither favor proh1bition'
but have not the courage to come
out openly for whiskey. The Bel
Air papers, however, are pouring hot
shot into the Havre de Grace whiskey
crowd. as the rest of Hartford county
is dry and they are anxious to see the
saloon kicked out Of the town. Says
the Bel Air Aegis: "Havre de
Grace's chief notoriety today is that
it is in a business no longer popular
and rapidly growing less SO. A long
enjoyment of this special privilege
has proven beyond question that it
draws into the town an undersir-
able, idle, semi-criminal class and
drives out the sober, industrious,
earning class. In fact the inevitable
conclusion after long experience
must be that few have benefited at
the expense Of many, and that the
population as a whole would be much
better OFF today had licensed
houses been banished from Havre
de Grace when they were banished
from the balance of Hartford"

The Woman Vote.

Democratic women will not allow
themselves to be misled into turning
the government back to the reaction
aries who are responsible for Mr.
Hughes's nomination and who will
control the government IL he Is cleo
ted.
The women's party wants to make
suffrage a partisan issue, but it
would be grievous mistake to do SO.
No party is likely to control two
thirds Of both houses and three
fourths of the states, and that is
what a constitutional amendment
must secure. The women who met
at Atlantic City recently were right
in refusing to make woman suffrage
partisan issue. Surely the pre-
sumption Of wisdom is on the side of
the majority who oppose making
woman suffrage a partisan issue
rather than on the side Of the few
who are trying to use the issue to
aid the republican candidate.
And why does the, women's party
rely on Mr.. Hughes's utterances in
stead of on the republican platform?
Republican senators and republican
congressman are not bound by any
thing that Candidate Hughes says.
they. are bound only by the repub-
lican platform which is not as strong
as the democratic platform. The
republican platform after endorsing
woman suffrage. leaves the question
to the states, while the democratic
platform recommends the extension
OF woman suffrage to women.
AS between the candidates, Mr..
Wilson has much the better rcord.
Mr.. Wilson went to New Jersey and
voted for woman suffrage year ago,
while Mr.. Hughes did not feel inter
ested enough in the question to vote
when his vote might have decided
the question in New York. Presi-
dent Wilson was the first president
to. put the influence Of the white
house on the side of woman suffrage.
Is 1t not fair to assume that his
action is largely responsible for the
recent growth of sentiment that
forced the republican party to go as
far as it did? 1t must be remember
ed, too, that President Wilson is
responsible for the fact that the DEM
ocratic platform endorsed woman
suffrage. Being the unanimous
choice Of the convention his wishes
were considered in making the plat
form. So far as is known, Mr..
Hughes had no part in making the
republican platform.-The Common
Ter.

Before another issue of The Mid
land Journal reaches its readers the
result of the election on Tuesday
next will be known to them.
AS whole, despite the fact that
the approaching election is an i'm
uortant one, there has been an ap-
parent lack of interest, and 1t is this
very feeling among many people. that
one vote can't make any difference
in the election, that every year leads
several million voters to stay away
from the polls.
Given the right of franchise, it
is the duty of every man to exercise
1t, as it is Indifference toward the
ballot that permits the ascendency
of corrupt boss influences, enabling
handful Of men who are in politics
for their own selfish gain, to win
their ends, with no thought of polit-
ical betterment or reform.
Given the secret ballot, the inde-
pendent, thinking voter. who largely
out numbers the boss-controlled ele-
ment, has it in his power to defeat
the scheming politician, but all too
frequently he is too Indifferent to go
to the polls and vote.
Eevery man owes it to himself not
only to take an interest in the affairs
Of his country, but to express his
preference by voting for those candi-
dates who represent the principles in
which he believes.
So Mr.. Voter, don't let the general
afathy that has held sway through
out the campaign keep you away
from the polls on Tuesday next, but
get out and vote for the man of your
choice!

The following is the amendment
which the voters will be called upon

This amendment provides that the
Governor shall present to the Legis-
latlire soon after it is convened
Budget giving complete plan OF
proposed expenditures and estimated
revenues for the two succeeding

aries as fixed by law, and for the
public schools as fixed by law. With
regard to most other matters he may
revise the estimates presented to him
either by State officers or State-aided
institutions. The Legislature may
not increase the estimate presented
by the Governor or pass any addi-
tional appropriation act except by
majority vote and must make pro-
vision by tax for such increase or
additional appropriation. The Leg
islature may not alter in an appro-
priation act the provision made by
law for the State debt, or for the
judiciary, but may reduce all other
items in the Governors estimates;
and the words ''for the Constitu-
tional Amendment" and against
the Constitutional Amendment" as
now provided by law, and immedi-
ately after said election due returns
shall be made to the Governor OF the

amendment, and further proceedings
