TIL. IMAM ANNOUNCES
THAT HE is IN RACE

Washington, Mafch. 5.-senator
B. R. Tillman tonight announced his
candidacy for reelection as senator
from South Carolina. The senior
senator in a prepared statement calls
attention to his position as chairman
Of the committee on naval affairs,
his work for the navy in that con-
nection and his influence in official
Washington. He declares that the
world war has so fchahged the situa-
ton since his announcement in 1914
that he would not be a candidate to
succeed himself that he now believes
he can best serve his State and the
nation by remaining in the senate.
Representative A. F. Lever of the
Seventh South Carolina District,
chairman of the house agricultural
committee, also issued a statement
in which he says that although
strong representations have bee.
and are being made to him he has
n positive announcement to- make
in regard to his ultimate intention
touching on the senatorial race.

A gleam of hope showed in the eye Of the engineer. 'You didn't bring her? Diane said you threatened"
 Maybe did say would. Anyhow, l thought better Of 1t But Pm glad someone had the sense to tell Miss O'Neill the truth"
 "WhO do you think brought herr"
 I'm not thinking on that subject out loud"
 "But if you could show Mac"
 That's up to you. I'll not lift a finger. I didn't start this war and Pm not making any peace overtures."
 You're as obstinate as the devil" :" smiled Peter, but In his heart he ad- mired the dourness of his friend.
 The engineer went to Macdonald and gave deleted version of his talk with Elliot. The Scotsman listened, a bit ter incredulous smile on his face.
 Says he didn't bring her, does he? Tell him from me that he lies. Your wife let out to me by accident that he threatened to bring her. Meteetse and he came up on the boat together. He "etS "AIi hSi GU yOui tiOuSS WAcu Sue told her story. He's trying to save his hide. No chance"
 "Elliot isn't liar. When he says he didn't bring the woman, that satisfies me. I know he didn't do it." insisted Paget stiffiy.
 Different here. Who else had any interest in bringing her except him? Nobody. Use your brains, Peter. He takes the first boat down the river. He comes back on the next one She comes back, too. They couldn't figure I'd be at your house when they showed up there to tell the story. That's where MT. Elliot slipped up."
 Peter was of different stuff from Selfridge. He had something to say. So he said it.
 "Times have changed, Mac. You can't shoot down this fellow without making all kinds of trouble. First thing, we'd lose our claims. The ad- ministration would drop you like a hot potato if you did a thing like that. Sheba would never speak to you again. Your friends would know in their hearts it was murder. You can't do it."
 Macdonald's jaw clamped. "Then let him get out. That's my last word to him."
Cleveland County herald., 1918-04-11
CHAPTER XIV.
Ambushed.

Colby Macdonald. in miners boots and corduroy working suit, stood be- side his horse with one arm thrown carelessly across it's rump. He was about to start for Seven Mile Creek camp with $2,700 in the saddlebags to pay the men there.
 Diane was talking with him. "She's young and fine and spirited. Of course 1t was great shock to her, She had been idealizing you. But think she is beginning to understand things bet ter. At any rate, she does not hate you any more. Give the girl time."
 "You think she will-be reasonable? ?"
 ''I don't know. But I'm sure of one thing. She'll not be reasonable. as you call it, unless you are reasonable"
 "You mean-Elliot?"
 "Yes. She likes him very much. Do you know that when the Indian woman came he urged Sheba not to listen to her story?"
 Sounds likely-after he had spent his good money bringing her here," sneered the mine owner.
 He didn't. GOrdOn IS a splendid fel- low. He wouldn't lie," answered Di- ane hotly. And one thing is sure-if you lay finger on him for this. it will be fatal with Sheba. She will be through with you"
 Macdonald had thought of this be- fore. It had been coming to him from several different angles that he could not afford to gratify his desire to wipe this meddlesome young official from his path. He made a slow, sulky promise.
 "All right. I'll let him alone. Peter can tell him."
 Swinging to the saddle, he spurred

CHAPTER xIll.-Continued.

His companion flashed a look of warning at him and explained that they were going down the river to look for work outside of the district.
 Suddenly Trelawney broke loose and began to curse Macdonald with a bitterness that surprised the govern ment agent. What struck him most, though, was the obvious anxiety of Northrup to quiet his partner and to gloss over what he had said.
 Elliot bought an automatic revolver next morning and box of cartridges. He was not looking for trouble, but he intended to be prepared for 1t when trouble came looking for him. In the afternoon he walked out of town and practiced shooting at tin cans for half an hour. On his way back he met Peter Paget.
 The engineer came straight to the subject in his mind.
 "Selfridge came to see me last night. He told me about the trouble between you and Macdonald, Gordon. You must leave town till he cools down. Mac donald is a bad man with gat."
 'Ts he? There'Il be no trouble of my making. But if he starts any I'll be there Macdonald doesn't own the earth, you know. I've been sent up here by Uncle Sam on business, and you can bet your last dollar I'll stay on the job till I'm through"
 "Of course you've got to finish your 5ob. But it doesn't all have to be done right here. Just for a week or two"
 ''Tell your friend something else while you're on the subject. If I drop him, go scot free because he is inter- fering with me on duty. I'll put Self ridge on the stand to prove it. But

jail without breakfast. He was furi- ous, but as he paced up and down the narrow beat beside the bed his anger gave way to anxiety. Surely the Pag- cts could not believe he had done such a thing. And Sheba-would she ac- cept as true this weight of circum- stantial evidence that was piling up against him?
 It could all be explained so easily. And yet-the cts fitted like links of q chain to condemn him. He went over them one by one. The babbling tongue of Selfridge that had made common gossip of the impending trag- edy in which he and Macdonald were the principals-his purchase of the automatic-his public meeting with two known enemies of the Scotsman, during which he had been seen to give them money-his target practice with the new revolver-the unhappy chance that had taken him out to Seven-Mile Creek Camp the very day of the rob- bery-his casual questions of the min ers-even the finding of the body by him. All of these dove-tailed with the hypothesis that his partners in crime were to escape and bear the blame, while he was to bring the body back to town and assume innocence.
 Paget was admitted to his cell later in the morning by Gopher Jones. He l shook hands with the prisoner. Jones | retired.
 Trough luck, Gordon" the engineer said.
 "What does Sheba think?"

 And Diane?" "Yes, she knows"
 "WellY demanded Gordon brusque ly.
 Peter looked at him in questioning surprise. "Well, what" He caught the meaning of his friend. "Try no to be an ass, Gordon. Of course sht knows the charge is ridiculous"
 The chip dropped from the young mans shoulder. Good old Diane. might have known" he said with 6 new cheerfulness.

 "No. I'm hungry, come to think o1 It."

fever of the patient was subsiding. He slept good deal, and in the intervals between had been once or twice quite rational.
 The thoughts of the cousins drew their steps toward the jail. Sheba looked at Diane.
 "Will they let us pass, do you think?"
 Perhaps. We can try
 Gopher Jones was not proof against the brisk confidence with which Mrs, Paget demanded admittance.
 The prisoner was sitting on the bed, His heart jumped with gladness when he looked up.
 Diane shook hands cheerfully. "How Is the criminal?"
 Better for hearing your kind voice" he answered.
 His eyes strayed to the ebon-haired girl in the background. They met a troubled smile, grave and sweet.
