The Deadly Deeoy.
II David Manley was blindly and un-
reasonably happy. all that day and the
next. he succeeded in keeping his hap
piness TO himself. II was not a
propitious time, he knew, for the air
in; OF emotions so essentially per-
sonai. There was still a shadow over
the house OF Golden. a shadow which
gave small promise OF passing away
until fate or accident ended the activ-
tiles OF one Jules Legar. There was,
too, a shadow in Manley's heart. a
shadow OF doubt as to how far he
was justified in accepting Margery
Golden's words as he had accepted
them. So as he talked with her the
following day he was conscious OF a
vague constraint which reminded him
there were still reservations to be re-
spected and condolences to be with
held.
This was brought keenly home 10
Manley as Wilson carried In to the
girl sitting so close 10 him a sealed
note which she opened and read In
silence. That this note brought a
somewhat disturbing message 10 her
was only too evident. And whatever
that message. II was equally evident,
she intended to keep II to herself.
No bad news, | hope" remarked
Manley. rather deiectedly studying her
face.

Margery Golden smiled little as

again and still again. One small piece
OF that paper futtered from her fingers
and fell half way between her and the
still frowning young secretary. He
stared down at II cautiously. almost
sullenly. Then his eyes slowly
widened. for clearly inscribed on that
scrap OF paper he saw one-halt OF the
sign OF the Laughing Mask.
She then walked slowly across 10
the open FIRE and tossed into II the
note which she had already torn into
fragments.
Manley stood watching her as she
ordered Train and the limousine and

then called for her hat and coat He
had much to say. but for once he saw
that silence was golden.
The moment he was alone, however,
no quickly crossed TO the fireplace,
dropped down on his hands and knees,
and there peered closely at the
charred remnants of the note which
had heen tossed en- the Goals.
Three or four OF the fragments he
even rescued with the help OF a brass
fire shovel He turned them about
delicately and studied them patiently.
On one he deciphered the words you
will come" On another he managed
to make out "am ILL.," The only re-
naming portion OF uncurled carbon on
which he could discover any trace OF
writing had lost its center. But on
what remained OF Il no could read
"63 Washi-re."
"63 Washington Squtre!" he an
announced. And five minutes later
found him seated in a taxicab
He had just crossed Fourteenth
street, sweeping south. when he caught
sight OF the Golden Limousine, empty
with the exception OF Train at the
wheel, sweeping northwest.
This disturbing discovery, once he
had reached the square. took him up
the stone steps OF a ruinous mansion
long given over 10 artists studios and
workshops OF a meaner order.
He had climbed three fights Of
stairs. and climbed them with all the
stealthiness Of fat looter, when he
came 10 a door which held out more
promise than the others. For behind
this door he could distinctly hear the
sound OF voices. As he squatted down
and peered through the keyhole he
heard a girls muffied scream followed
by throaty laugh OF triumph. And
the moment he heard that laugh he
knew II 90 be Legar's.
Yet at the same moment he made a

Only Associates on Ticket.

julius Thorson and o. A. Hedin, dem
ocratic nominees for lieutenant COVER
nor and for railroad and warehouse
commissioner. are Mr.. Dryers only
associates on the state ticket, and they
are both openly for county option. The
democratic state committee, which has
opened headquarters in Minneapolis, is
not planning to work much with Dwy-
er. 1t has some hope for Thorson and
Hedin. The courts have just settled
the republican nomination for lieuten-
ant governor in favor of Thomas
Frankson. the primary winner. An at
tempt to disqualify Frankson for
spending too much money, under the
corrupt practices act, failed through a
technicality. Some feeling developed
and is being used by the democrats in
Thorsons interest. They also dwell on
the fact that nearly all the candidates
on both tickets are from the Twin
Cities, including Frankson. while Thor

farmers against Judge Ira B. Mills, the
veteran railroad and warehouse COM
missioner. who is republican nominee.
The farmers of the state are being or

mated the primaries in that state, but
which has not gone far enough to at

Suffer From Factionalism.
The democratic party is suffering
more than ever from its factional fight.
The opponents here of Fred B. Lynch,
national committeeman. are taking
credit to themselves for his loss of
caste in the national organization.
They carried the fight to Washington
and believe they turned the President
and Secretary McAdoo against Lynch.
They refuse to have anything to do
with the state committee, which is
dominated by LAWYER and other allies
of Lynch. So they have gone to the
pendent state headquarters in Mime
apolis. calling themselves the volunteer
democratic committee. a. H. Austin,
the chairman. says they will work for
Wilson, sending out speakers and lit
erature, but will ignore the state COM
mittee and the state ticket, also the
national committee as long as Lynch
is a member.
No statewide gathering, either of
republicans or democrats, has taken
place this year. The state committees
have the herculean task of promoting
organization in the counties, and both
committees have hit on the plan of
county mass meetings, putting it up to
the local workers to get together and
choose their committeeman. Such meet
ings have been held by republicans in
several counties already, and the dem

Boilermaker for Governor.

The democratic cause looks hopeless
in Minnesota except for two or three
congressional districts. A hard fight
will be made for Wilson and he should
get fully the normal democratic vote.
Probably he will get more votes than
Lawler, and certainly more than T. P.
Dwyer, the candidate for governor.
Gov. Burnquist's possible majority
over Dwyer is placed at 100000 or
more. The nomination of Dwyer. who
is a boilermaker in a railroad shop in
Minneapolis was one of the accidents
of the primary law and party leaders
have not been able to conceal their
disgust over the contretemps. An at
tempt was made a few days ago to get
Mr.. Dwyer to withdraw in favor of
some strong democrat. The commit
tee which waited on the boilermaker
got small satisfaction. He served no.
tice that he will stay in the fight to the
end, and make it in his own way. He
has declared himself against suffrage,
against prohibition and for repeal Of
the county option law.

Next Move of the Drys.

The drys' next move is for statewide
prohibition. The vets are giving it
out that they will make no attempt to
repeal the county option law, and urge
that the liquor question be dropped
for this ore campaign. Some of the
drys are favorable to this truce, and
even those who want action are divid-
ed. The prohibition party wants the
next legislature to enact prohibition
by statute. without waiting for a vote
of the people. The AntiSaloon League
has agreed to stand for a constitutional
amendment, which would have to be
submitted by the legislature next win
ter and voted upon at the 1918 election.
The latter program stands some show
of success and many candidates for
the legislature are declaring for 1t. AS
the legislature is non-partisan, under
Minnesota's peculiar law, the liquor
question is about the only line of c1eav-
age. The state senate holds over. and,
though it passed county option, is
hardly expected to stand for prohibi-
ton.
The situation is badly tangled, with
bitter feeling against the Indian lid
in some of the northern towns as an
additional factor. An effort is to be
made to get Congress to relax the
treaty provisions and restore home rule
to the treaty area, now largely popu-
lated by whites and including parts of
the Mesaba and Guyana iron ranges
with big mining communities.

it is only a matter of a short ride on

Attitude of German Vote.

The suffrage question is complicated
with prohibition. The German vote is
strongly against both propositions, of
course. 1t is normally democratic, IS
per cent of it, and but for the neutral
ity question it would be almost solidIy
democratic this year. The German
vote of the state, early in the campaign,
the democracy. Hughes popularity
among the Germans has been shaken
since he came out SO strongly for suf-
frage. and the final proportion in
which the German vote will split is
highly uncertain. At this time the
republicans seem to have the best of
1t. on the national ticket, as the feel
ing against Wilson overrides all other
questions. But the brewery influence
is beginning to be felt against Hughes,
and il is a factor not to be despised.
The backbone of the democratic party
Is wet" and the party candidates this
year, for the most part, are openly Of

but every voter knows where he stands

controllable as rule than the dry"
and the wet" influence is beginning to
show up against Hughes because of
his stand on suffrage.
Two years ago the dry republicans
won the governorship primary, and the
wet republicans promptly threw their
strength to the democratic nominee and
elected him. In spite of that, bare
majority in both houses of the legis-
lature passed a county option law
which the governor signed, and under
eighty-five counties in Minnesota vot-

counties voting in which the vets tri-
