MILLER CASE
NOW ON TRIAL
kEokuk COUNTY SUPERVISOR
DEFENDANT IN CUSTER
PROCEEDING.

| Siguoney, Nov. 21.-The custer pro-
ceedings against Thomas A. Miller
member of the Keokuk county board
OF supervisors, was taken up in the dis
trtct court on Tuesday morning with
Judge William Theopolis of Davenport
presiding. The plaintiffs are repre-
scented bq County Attorney Jennings
and former Attorney General George
! Cosson, while the defendant is repre-
scented by Hamilton & Beatty and
Wagner and Updegraff A couple of
! motions for more specific statements
were submitted by the defendant and
sustained by the court and the plain
tiffs then amended their application. to
comply with the courts ruling. This
occupied goodly portion of the fore
noon.
The taking Of testimony for the
plaintiff was begun about II a. m. and
up TO the time of the evening adjourn
ment about fifteen witnesses had been
examined for the plaintiff. The first
witness was the clerk of court, who
identified certain judgment in favor
of one ]. M. White on which there was
O. balance of SIS, due Mr.. White. This
balancabhad in fact been paid into the
hands Of a former clerk who failed to
turn the money into the county treas
ury, when leaving office Mr.. White
presented claim against the county
for the SIS, and the board paid the
claim. This is one of the complaints
alleged against Mr.. Miller. The other
witnesses were called to testify as to
the sale of certain materials sold by
Mr.. Miller, which it is claimed never
were paid for, but in each instance it
appeared from the cross-examination
by defendants attorneys that all these
matters had in fact been adjusted and
that the county had sustained no loss
in the sale of this material.
Just prior to the evening adjourn
ment witnesses were being called to
testify as to why certain so-caliea
court house bonds were not paid off by
the board, when it is claimed the
money had in fact been collected from
the taxpayers and that if the bonds
had been paid when they should have
been, a saving of about $4,000 to the
county could have been made. This
branch Of the case was taken up again
this morning, and all indications are
that most of the week will be consum-
ed before the trial is concluded.

"Why didn't" =
I'm coming to that, just because
you do look saner," the girl explained
81 didn't tell you because didn't dare
thought you were crazy"
"What?''.
"Who wouldn't, when you were
talking that way about opportunity
and insisting that I stay here and all
that sort of thing" the young woman
inquired tartly. ut was plain enough
that you were crank at the best OF
it. and didn't know-well, it seemed
better to take chance on getting out
!: through the night"
Second by second, normal cerebra.
ton was returning to Anthony, and
although it caused him to grow colder
and colder with plain apprehension it
also rendered his perspective more
true for he burst out with
why in Heavens name did you, a
girl, ever come here in the first
placer
| "What?" The girl smiled flittingly
and ruefully. "Oh, there was a reason
for that, too
| What was it,"
She of the Titan hair eyed him
thoughtfully and shook her head
Perhaps I'll tell you some other
time," she said.
"You wouldn't be any happier for
knowing, just now" the girl said.
Her pajamaed legs, swathed In the
mighty bathrobe, crossed comfortably,
Turkish fashion, and she considered
Anthony with her calm, quizzical eyes
land of a sudden an overwhelming
helplessness surged through Anthony
Fry and he had more than little diff
f1culty in concealing the slight tremble
Of his limbs.
For II the boy David had been a
nervous, frightened creature, the lady
who had succeeded him was almost
anything else! David had been timor-
Gus and given to shrinking; the girl
was all quiet assurance. David's eyes
had been frightened and round; those
eyes were just as round but, as much
anything else, they seemed to express
mild amusement at Anthony's discom-
future.
And that was the way Of the whole
sex, Anthony reflected bitterly. Hav-
tangled him. hands, feet, and every
thing else, it was woman's habit to sit
and stare calmly, Just as this one was
staring, wordlessly inquiring just what
he meant to do about it.
"Who are you?" he, asked dizzily
''Um,'' said the girl meditatively.
"Well, if you find it necessary to call
me anything, call me-er-Mary."
"Mary what?"
"Just Mary"
"But your other name"
"You wouldn't be any happier for
knowing that either" the girl assured
him serenely.
What on earth does that mean?"
Anthony demanded, with almost a re-
turn of his old imperious manner.

CHAPTER VI.
johnson Boiler PROPOSES.

johnson Boiler Proposes.
The whole head of brown hair had
come. free in his hand and from
Davids Uranium, billow upon billow
of red-glory floated down about the
bathrobed shoulders.
David, in fine, with no warning at
all, had turned into a decidedly pretty
young woman!
Through Anthony's astounded brain
Impressions pursued one another so
rapidly, those first few seconds, that
the room danced crafty. There were
two or three Davids and oceans of
reddish-gold hair; there were several
pairs of somber, deep-blue eyes as
we'll, whirling around and mocking
him, regarding him quite steadily and
all packed with new significance.
Yet in the tumult several details,
which had rather puzzled Anthony
Fry, grew painfully clear. Very fully
now did he understand that delicacy
Of feature-the small. beardless chin
and the fine, regular little nose. which
he had ascribed to good blood some
where in David's family He under
stood also the slenderness Of David's
hands and the curious high. pitched
'shrillness that had come into the
voice once or twice in moments of
excitement. ~
But these were minor, insignificant
realizations; he understood them and
passed them, forcing his brain to
some sort Of calm; and now, with
only one David in the room and the
furniture quite steady again, he stood
face to face with what was really one
Of the most horrible facts of his whole
life; a pretty young woman, of whose
identity he was utterly ignorant was
in his guest chamber now, in pajamas
and bathrobe-and she had been there
all night!
