COUNTY 800 SHORT

The force OF deputies at the oiiiee
OF the county clerk is kept working
overtime these days verifying the
nominating petitions fled by candi-
dates for the various county Offices.
Many names upon tho petitions are
having to be crossed OF because OF
Irregularities. sometimes the signer
to the petition having failed to re-
gister, at other times the name was
written upon the petition different
from the manner Of registration. as
for example. II John Smith used his
full name in signing the registration
books and then signed the petition
with his initials. his name would not
be counted. Others signed from
wrong precincts, and some dittoed
their address when II should have
been written out in full. All OF the
petitioners had q margin OF voters to
go on, however, and while there were
a few close calls, mono had been
counted out as far as the clerks have
proceeded with their work.
]. w. Turvey. who had declared
his intention OF becoming q candl-
date for the ofice Of county commits
sioner, did not qualify as only three
OF the petitions OF the Ave that had
been circulated for him were return
ed to the clerk before the closing
hour. Petitions from flve OF the pre-
cincts In the county were necessary
to qualify a candidate for county Of
fice.
The registration of voters In the
county has not yet been completed,
but II is evident that about 500 fall

Leith doubted if his employers would
retain Harry when they learned of
his gambling habits.
All! At all hazards the changed
course of the weak and struggling
must not be crossed! Leith arrived
at a speedy decision. He WINGED as
he realized the great sacrifice he was
called on to make. Then his lips
drew firm and resolute. He forgot all
save the urgency of the moment,
tossed the letter on his desk, picked
UP his hat and hurried from the Of

Fifteen minutes later Mr.. Merriam
called, according to appointment. He
was shown into the Office of the man
ager, where he decided to await his
return. Almost the first thing that
met his eye was the open note that
Leith had received. Twice he read
it. That proud lip of his drew closer,
his stern eye took to its depths a
steely CLINT. He memorized the adj
dress given in the missive, arose and
started form the place, smoldering
volcano of wrath.
Meanwhile Gordon Leith had gone
to his bank. He had saved up over
two thousand dollars. He drew an
even half of this. Then he proceeded

"Are you Davenal?" demanded

Leith passed beyond the drapery
of the doorway and sat down at a
little table opposite the gamester.

"Then l give you a check for an

A strange expression came into the
eyes of Gordon Leith. He drew his
coat closer to conceal dangling Or

as if that might betray vital secret.
It was a prize given to the champion

nerve and confidence.

among these children, what charit-
able act. Another thing | was think
ing of was the war in the sixties, the
Spanish American war, the war in
Mexico and the present European con-
flict. All OF these wars showed us that
in times of War there is always period
OF drouth.
while there are quite a few of the
veterans of the civil war left, have
never heard one of them mention this
fact, but never the less it seems to be
rule that the great wars are Away
followed by an unusual Grouth.
II hope never to SEE another war but
l do hope to see another Christmas
and to see you popping more fire
cracker, so a merry Xmas back 10 you
little girl"
