RETURNS COME SLOW

Three counties have not as yet re- ported the result of the presidential elec- ton to the secretary of state. but 1t would make no particular difference if they never reported, so far as results are concerned. The electoral vote of the state is safely in the Wilson column, and the game and fish law is defeated more than two to one The 7S of the S1 coun- ties reporting show a total vote on the game of 7S,014. Of these 24S34 were for

Of these 24,S34 were for so In the event the supreme court should decide that the initiative and referendum amendment was unlawfully injected into the constitution the law will stand on the statute book just as passed and until re- pealed by the legislature.

land, which lie extremely mountainous,
rises to the east Of the upper Tigris
in the direction of Urumiah. The area
of this space is 10000 square miles.
There is not mile of railway in tho

goodness. He could not believe that
Lily Holmes was really the sort of girl
she protested to be-well. not pro.
tossed, for she professed nothing, but,
1t any rate, gave the appearance of
being.
He had taken her out to lunch and
telt that his conquest was almost COM
plete. He could not imagine any girl
resisting him, the millionaire, with
. reputation for gallantry that had led
demi-mondaines to throw themselves
Into his arms. When he told Lily that
he was going to call on her he be-
lieved that she understood as well
Is he.
And he called that night, dressed
Tor the part. He meant to take her
out to supper. He wore silk hat and
. gardenia. He had no doubt that he
would find her, arrayed in the latest
style. in some bachelor girls quarters.
Lily opened the door herself.
"Come in, Mr.. Anderson" she said
gayly. Father and mother are so
anxious to meet you.''
Anderson thought this was Jest.
He entered the room, to find an elder.
ly couple awaiting him. The father,
who wore long, white beard, had his
hand on an open Bible. The mother
was a simple. country woman, with
kind face that reminded Anderson of
his own mother.
Anderson felt his blood run thick.
Then he felt both ashamed and morti-
fed.
PLEASED to meet you, SIR" said tho
old man. my girl has often told me
of your kindness to her."
Don't mention it," said Anderson,
wondering what sort of trick Lily
Holmes had played on him, and how
soon he could escape.
MY daughter was fortunate to find
30 kind gentleman as yourself" said
the mother warmly. 1T isn't often in
these times that an employer takes it
upon himself to look after his stenog-
raphers like you do. Lily has told me
how you took her out to lunch last
week."
Yes-yes," said Anderson nerv-
ously.
Presently, after a little further con.
versation. the old couple rose. "And
now we'll leave you, sir" said the ia
Their. I'VE may be little behind the
times, not being long resident in New
York, but guess we know enough not

room, his wife upon his arm.
