THE LAST DAY.
C,hapter LXXNNII,

Chapter LXNNNIl.
The last day at Fernclif was n bad
dream. Ry noon time Bill Thorley had
packed his bag and left the house. Martha
Jones had gone in the early afternoon.
A telegram had come from Joe Hammond
that he was unavoidably detained IN the
city.
Only Grace Merrill and | were left
Dan was incoming about the garden.
Alice had Haunted out of the kichen that
morning and had not returned.
IL can't leave things like this, anyway,
| said.
Little Grace Merrill had turned
up her sleeves and put on her big painting
apron. You're not going to do all this
aloner' she had assured me.
Without any further words we had
gone to work The sitting room showed
signs of being liveable again. We even
tackled the huge pile of dishes left from
the wedding, before the morning was over.
'ls there anything else?' Grace Merr-
i'll asked late that afternoon, bringing the
broom back to the kitchen and looking
completely tagged out.
Nothing" | said with the mental
reservation to myself that | still had
to tell Alice that her "guests" had packed
, their belongings and gone.
Grace and | went to our rooms early
that night thought Alice would come to
my room and wake me up later. But !
heard nothing from her.
Ii was very peaceful to go down
stairs. next morning and find the
house all quiet and in order. Grace
| joined me later and we ate our breakfast
in comfort.
| 1t was sunny, cloudless day, The
kind of day in which you feel nothing
! bad can happen | had only the worry OF
! telling Alice. on my mind Yet she herself
! must have realized that this could not
/ keep up much longer Even the complaints
/ must have drifted to her Impervious ears
/ I'm all packed. so shall go this
morning. there's really nothing else for
me to do, said Grace Merrill
| | wished that | might so with her.
| But | had one more du " to perform
! We had said good-by and ] promised
| TO write and to come to see her when |
reached the city Then she, too, was only
figure disappearing down the dnve.

| my possessions into my bag How shabby
my clothes had grown ! opened my
| pocket book 10 look for some money

Milwaukee, April 3-Returns at Z
o'clock on yesterdays senatorial cleo
ton show Irvine L. Lenroot, Republi-
can, maintained his lead over Joseph
E. Davies, Democrat. With Is coun-
ties missing and many others incom-
plete, Lenroot had a plurality of TO-
SAT.
Victor L. Berger, Socialist, was
27,769 behind Davies, according to
the latest figures.
Since the inception of the cam
paign every leader has insisted that
the loyalty of the state was being
judged by the nation. The Socialist
platform was opposed to the Presi-
dents policy of peace with victory
offered refuge for the ballots of the
disloyaI element Patriots accepted
this vote as test, and on that basis
the state has apparently voted loya!
by three to one.
Some of the votes lost by the Re
publicans went to Davies because the
President wanted him, but much of
it, represented by the German ele-
ment in the La Toilette faction, voted
for Berger, according to local analysis.
The Socialist platform which calls
for Withdrawal of the American forces
in France and a repetition Of the Boil
shevik experiment in negotiating
peace with Germany, was fully under
stood, throughout the state. Promi-
nent citizens who have felt that the
state had been misrepresented were
content to count the Lenroot-D Davies
vote as loyal; that of Berger as dis
loyal.

DEMOCRATS IN
HARTFORD WIN
CITY ELECTION

Hartford, April 3-Despite the fact
that he received 400 less votes than
in 1916, Richard J. Kinsella yester-
day defeated Mayor Frank A. Hag
arty for the mayoralty. A very light
vote was polIed. Mayor-elect Kin
sella's plurality was 452. Fire Com
missioner John A. Gleason, Demo-
cratic candidate for town clerk, ran
ahead of the ticket, and defeated
Henry F. Smith, the Republican can
didate for reelection, by more than
5000 votes. The other candidates on
the Democratic ticket were carried
along in the victory, which resulted
in changes in various offices, the Dem
ocrats gaining practically all the
places in which the Republican can
didates were not endorsed, except the
minority representative places on
various boards.
Six Democrats and five Republicans
were elected to the court of common
council. This makes the membership
in that body evenly divided, each of
the two major parties having ten rep
resentatives, 1t was a close race i'll
some wards.
The voters defeated the appropria-
ton of S35O,Oo0 for widening Morgan
street, and the appropriation of $780,
900 for the Buckley street plan. The
electors voted to make the mayor ex
officio member of the water board,
fire board, charity board and street
board

ADMIRAL JELLICOE
NOW A VISCOUNT

London, March 29-Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe has taken the title of
Viscount Jellicoe of Scapa.
The name Scapa is derived from
Scapa Flow, which has been the prin-
cipal home base of the British Grand
Fleet since the beginning of the
war. Scapa Flow is a great land
locked harbor in the midst of the
Orkney Islands, north of Scotland,
and a "a hours train journey from
London. The surrounding land is
brown, bare, desolate and treeless.
There are ninety islands in the Ork-
ney group, of which 81 are uninhab.
tied
Such was the place to which Jelli-
coe brought his squadrons at the end
of. July, 1914, and the place to
which he returned with them time
and again to rest after fruitless
chases in the North Sea. Scapa was
the king-pin in the strategical dis
position of the Allied Naval forces
during the entire time that Jellicoe
commanded them.

would have to accompany them to
headquarters, he began to struggle
frantically to get away from the
clutches of the detectives. At last
he freed himself by a supreme effort
and ran down Broad street in the
direction of Elm. It took the detec-
tives only a few seconds to recover
from their surprise and Immediate
ly Detective Malone brought his
gun into play.
The second shot found it's mark in
the lower left forearm of the fugitive,
tearing through the wrist and f1eshy
part of the hand, carrying away a
finger. The effect of the wound
was to make the alleged thief run
faster until finally exhausted from
his efforts and the loss of blood he
staggered into the garage where he
was found hiding a few minutes
later.
When the officers entered the gar
age in pursuit of the wounded fugi-
i've, they found him huddled in a
dark corner but ready to put up a
fight. They approached him from
u1iLed elL SUES anu he was Se1zeQ from
behind by Detective Sergeant Bray,
before he could use a weapon.
He fought every inch of the way
while being taken to police headquar-
tiers, until finally wearied and ex-
hausted he submitted to having his
wound dressed in the Emergency hos
pital by DIR. J. F. Keegan. Later in
the day he will be put through a thor
Iough sweating by Captain Detective
e. o. Cronan, who believes that he
will be able to give information which
will lead to the capture of the rest Of
the desperate gang.

Chicago, April 3-Socialist candi-
dates and those Republicans endorsed
by Mayor William Hale Thompson
were defeated in every ward in which
they appeared ON the ticket at the
aldermanic election yesterday. There
were Spcia tstic candidates in SO Of
the So wards, but in only six were
there contests and in those the fights
were waged by the Socialist candi-
adtes on the continuous and active
opposition to the war; voiced in the
national platform of the party adopt
ed in st. Louis. One Socialist MEM
Der of the council was up for re-elec-
ton, William E. Rodriguez Of the 18th
ward, and he was beaten by the votes
of women. On the vote of the men
alone Rodriguez was ahead by 10, but
the women gave Oscar H. Olson, his
Republican opponent whom the Dem
ocrats supported, & majority of 27O
and the victory by 266 votes.
In the Third ward, where the
strongest fight of the half dozen made
by the Thompson forces was carried
on, the result went against the
mayors adherents by a large major
1Iy. In L06 total results the IhepuDll-
cans will have two less votes than in
the old council the Socialists one less
and the Democrats gain three votes.
Twenty-four Democrats and IL Re-
publicans were elected yesterday.
There is a hold over member from
each ward The new council will have
As Democrats, % Republicans and two
Socialists.
The total vote of the Socialists was
Ga, 216 almost 5000 less than their
leading candidate received in the ju-
dicial election of last fall. In the
wards where the German vote is
heavy, however, the Socialists made
gains in comparison with the vote at
the last election.
The total Democratic vote was 1885,

HEAVY VERDICT
AGAINST LOCAL
CABLE COMPANY

New Haven, April "a verdict of
$4,000 in favor of the plaintiff was
returned by a jury in the United
States court today in the suit of Mary
Englesbe of Bound Brook, N. J.,
against the Electric Gable Co. of
Bridgeport, the action being one to
recover damages for the death of Jo-
seph Englesbe, husband of the plain
tiff and an employe of the company.
Englesbe was killed while handling
portable electric lamp.
The allegation was that insulation
of the wire of the lamp was defective
and this permitted a current of 208
volts to enter the employees body. The
widow is Administrative of the estate
The United Illuminating Co. was made
co-defendant but the complaint
against it was dismissed by Judge
Thomas. A motion to set aside the
verdict made by Carl Foster, attorney,
was denied by the court. The verdict
is said to be the largest ever returned
in a Federal court in this state in q
case of this nature.

100000 Will Be Summoned
to Colors Sooner Than
Formerly Planned.
TO HAVE 100000
SOLDIERS BY 1919
Will Be Shipped to France
With Shortest Possible
Delay at This End.

Washington, April 3-Meas-
ures to speed up the draft pro-
gram are in contemplation and
an official announcement is ex-
pected soon.
The intention is to meet the
emergency in France. For that
reason the 100000 men who
are to be called this year will
be called rapidly, more so than
was previously planned.
The War Department Off
Gals said no arrangements
were in sight looking to calling
out more than the 100000 men
it was planned to take into the
service.
Reports that the draft would be
raised from 100000 to 100000 were
denied.
Officials do not regard it as posi-
bic that more men will be sent
abroad this year than the department
already has arranged to summon,
even with additional British shipping
made available as troop transports.
There are now under arms here and
in Europe more than 1900, 900
American soldiers. The number will
have been raised to about 100000
by the end Of the year, counting
drafted men, volunteers and special
technical forces to be enlisted.
The present effort is directed
more toward getting the men to
France early in the year to meet the
emergency there than toward increas-
ing the number to be sent during the
year.
