TIPPED" FOR MAYOR

The City Council will meet IN
special session tonight ior the
purpose Of clccting a Mayor OF
Richmond to FIJI out the ,lileXpir-
ed term of the late Leslie T. Ev-
ans.
Much sentiment is said to have
developed for the election OF
Councilman William O'Ncil for
the Mayoralty. Mr.. O'Ncil had
nothing to say about the matter
but did suggest that whoever
the Council might select. would
undoubtedly turn over the salary
of the office for the remainder OF
this term, to Mrs. Evans and her
family.
The Kentucky statutes place
the appointment OF Mayor to
fill vacancy i'll the hands OF the
City Council; in fact, the Council
is given wide powers with refer
enCe to the mayoralty. There Is
much city business that needs a
attention, so the Coun-
Gil will act promptly in the mat
ter.

CHAPTER XIII.
The sherifFs Nudge.

The sheriff's barn stood against the
hillside, the distance of half a block
back of his house. He had been in the
saddle most of the day. It was dark
when he rode into his barn lot to put
up his tired horse.
So intent was he upon his task, so
eager to hurry it over and get back to
the house to supper, that he failed to
notice a dark form stealing down off
the bluff, through the bushes, and
along the barn WALL
The task finished, the sheriff closed
the barn door and turned toward the
house.
"Sh-h!"
He whirled, and found himself gaz-
ing down the wrong end of steady
six-gun in the hand of the very man
he had been hunting all day. The
sheriff was brave man, but he knew
where bravery ends and ,foolhardiness
begins. His hands went up as quick
~ as he could get them up. The man
with the six-gun carried his arm, in a
sling. 1t must have cost him torture
to take it out. but he did it; reached
over and plucked the sheriff's revolver
out of his holster, thrust it into his
blouse and put his arm back into the
sling.
"Listen r. There was no misunder-
standing that whisper. 4I'Il not hurt
you If you do as say. Creep up the
