DWINDLING LOYALTY TO PARTY.

Political conditions Connecticut puzzng to the obser The old principles of political loyalty have disappeared Parties longer hold the obedience of their members and transition from party to another accomplished much of middle used to change Officers and sometimes the middle of the bat would go to the other side, for higher price,
 The condition Bridgeport is not unlike the condition in most other places Here party lines have disappeared for years thousands Repub voted the Dem ticket while thousands Republican ticket
 The Bridgeport situation is complicated by two sets of feud One in the Democratic party which poIed something than thousand votes in the primary One in the Repub lican party which poed 6OO votes in the primary
 But the winning faction of the Republican party has another feud that Fairfield county and New Haven county bosses
 This Republican faction though winning at home beaten abroad Its reaction this beating uncertain There indication that the winning group will try to defeat it's ticket if by the widest possible cutting at least by nacton
 There promises to be the peculiar situation in which the election will be finally determined by three of conflicting hatreds The voting will be less those who most loved than for those who least hated.
 These failing alegances signs of the break the party system exists Sooner late ably there must be reorganization and parties will be born old parties will be completely organized ties long exist vehicles by which offices lost gained persons who have other ideal the offices.

liars, to begin with, and alwaYS speaking the way they think you want them to. Hardin didn't bring them out of the jungle. They wouldn't ,ome, he said"
 What was the story?''
 "Ridicu1ous. That Forsythe had killed Barnes with poison dart from a blow pipe. Absurd. Not white mans weapon. Forsythe always paid his taxes. Sir Gideon thought a good deal of him. Hardin's story didn't hang together at all. He had no ac- curate date, no bearings of the place where this was supposed to happen. Sheer delusion. fostered by Indians III their second childh ood. Would have been laughed out of court"
 The secretary finished his glass and his argument for Forsythe. The taxes had been duly paid to the crown. For sythe was somebody-Hardin a non entity and a nuisance. He had paid no taxes. had bummed, in fact, on the American consul Selwyn, had finally got lobs in plantation labora- tories and, at last, had drifted back to the United States.
 There Cairns must follow him. He had done much. Now to ind Selwyn, ex-consul to British Guinea, to find Hardin, friend of Barnes, the ma n who might be Paxton. the strange, crookedlegged, poverty-stricken fig ure who had adventured into the in terior to hunt down the man who had robbed and, perhaps. murdered his friend. There was something heroic to Cairns about the persistency of this little druggist fighting and faith full against odds.
 And, if his story is ridiculous, why had the last word uttered by For sythe been the name of Barnes? Why had Forsythe been so shaken by the whitening of the Butterfly Orchid ? The pieces of the jig-saw puzzle were coming fast.

Cairns gripped his hand.

Cairns gripped his hand.
 'I have liked you in spite of pre- judice myself, Blatchley,'' he said. 1T believe in Miss Carroll's fine instinct. Aside from this matter of Hardin and Forsythe. I will subscribe to her choice of a man.
 So the two set out together.
 Blatchley came back to the hotel in St. Louis flushed with success.
 That little, twisted, shrunken Hardin holds the soul of a hero," he said. More than that, I believe you will be inclined to Justify Quando ill her fierce defense of him."
 'She is still an aboriginal" said Cairns "Her more or less mystic calling has had an atavistic tendency. She is back four generations to the days of the slave-drives on the Congo or the Cimarron, where her great grandmother was a sorceress. She would give her hearts blood or that of her, children where she thought feaHy belonged. Tell me about it."
 She had two sons," said Blatchley, settling himself with a pipe. "One Slim. Sam you have encountered Humpy, you have yet to hear of. The poor crook-b back was the apple of her eye. I have learned nothing really vicious of the lad save that the ignorant negroes used him as a mas cot for their luck and encouraged him to hang around their gambling haunts where they could rub his hump. The only money he ever saw came to him that way, flung to him when the gamblers won. Other times he got kicked and cuffed. But he was no beauty. as you may guess and the police had their eye on him as a dive unan and the white children round the neighb orhood used to scream and run when Humpy, with his high shoulder and his shuffling gait and his harelip, crossed them on their way to school.
 There came . Race-riot in the city Some white girl had been more fright ened than hurt. I gather, but the cry mounted, shot as fired and, fleeing the mob, poor Humpy was hunted down the street. Slim was knocked down, trampled, wounded in his de- fense, and his mother, who would have made them all quail, venture, was away.
 tSo Humpy, brick-battered, breath less, bleeding and mortally afraid, darted into the drugstore on the corner. then owned by Hardin. The present owner told 1Ae all about it. And Hardin defied the mob Set the hunchback behind his prescription case end, snatching bottles of acid, held back the crowd until the riot patrol showed up.
 "1t was proved that Humpy was far from the scene of the tncipient root of the affair, but he never dared to show his face in that neighborhood again and Hardin, never too prosper ous, and always trying to save money to go and seek for Barnes, was tab ued. Save for his colored clientele he could sell nothing So he sold ont cheap and went to British Guiana.
 Do you wonder that Quando would sell her soul to Satan for Eardin?''
 Shell never be bothered by me- said Cairns. Where is Hardin now?' guess.''
 "I don't know, but I can make a g-uess.''
 ''In Scipio."
 Blatchley nodded.

BUS OPERATION AS ADJUNCT TO
 ELECTRIC CARS

Chicago, Oct. 12-(A. P.)-That the bus has a place in light traffic but that 1t should be operated by electriS rail- way arrangements as an adjunct to their regular service and not as a competitive agency, was the report brought to the convention of the A An:erican Electric Railway associa- ton here today, prepared by com n'ttee composed in part of bus own CTS Of a year ago.
 Operated by electric railways. buses will supply regular. responsible service" the report stated. Mass transportation cannot be handled by buses as cheaply as it can by electric cars, but in cases of light traffic, the bus sometimes is more economical.
 H However, where traffic is so light that the higher cost per passenger of operating the bus is offset by the re- latively high fixed charges per passen- ger with such light traffic which re- suits from the electric railways in vestnent in track. a field is created in which the railless vehicle can fur nish service satisfactory alike in op- erat+on and economy. The possibility of utilizing the motor bus or trackless trolley therefore should be kept in mind by electric railway operators"
 The committee reported that the Fffy-by-night jitney" and other irregu- ton had not been considered in the study and that development of track less transportation by electric rail- ways should not affect them adversely if intelligently carried out.
 The report stated that the automo- tive industry has progressed to the point where it is now producing vehi- cles of a design suitable for passen- the electric car on rails Is the best servant as a whole, largely due to the fact that the operating cost per passenger for bus operation is high

CHAPTER VIII.
Blatchley nodded.
At Scipio.


 The reaI-estate of Scipio is an un- certain quantity. Sometimes the town can temporarily boast of so many hundred acres, then the river goes on a rampage and turned much of it into pestilent breeding place of mosquitoes where the frogs croak in recurrent victory. Much of it is aI- ways swamp, where expresses grow in the ooze and pines struggle on the ridges, where snakes turk in the pal metto scrub, half water things, half land reptiles. The men and women and the children are pale and anemic manifestation, hook-wormed, lack ing ambition.
 To Scipio came Cairns and Blatch- ley, seeking Hardin, not in animosity though BIatchley's search was ting ed with a dawning hope as to his final acceptance of Claire Carrolrs renun- citation of F'orsythe's money) but from @ rigorous sense of justice, as men appointed to solve a mystery.
 A fantom buggy, drawn by a fan tom stee1. driven by negro who had waxed fat on catfish where his whiter fellows pined on better food, took the m to the rameha ck7e hotel
 The porch of the for1orn hostelry, the gallery as it was called, though 1t slanted down to the sticky mud of the main street, was evid ently the appointed meeting place of the town. And the loungers, ninety-five per cent of the populace, were assembled there to observe the strangers whose coming had been the cause of univer- sal midnight speculation
 The landlord introduced them to the sheriff of the county, a slab-sided man with a mustache like the horns ot a Texas steer, down-drooping to coincide with the spirit of Scipio But he frightened to the strangers and in- vited them to have drink. To the three rounds of awful ginger-ale they swallowed he kept pace with slugs of feroucious whiskey and Flowed he'd fooled the malary fo' the u1a,wnin' ''
 Once more they went out to the decrepit gallery and sat on s1un1ping arm chairs of wood, scared by the wftless case-knives of the generation. The sheriff, once imbued with the idea that the strangers wanted off, ctal talk with him, shooed away the reluctant multitude to a non-hearing distance.
 "Naow we-a11 can paIaver," he said. 'rWas you-au lookin' for investments? Tax lands, mebbe? RecIaimin' swamps? They's a good chance for thet work in Sctpfo. This mud can grow most ennything if it gets chance to dry-and stay dry" he added in afterthought.
 Cairns. looking at the drenched prospect, did not doubt the statement openly but refuted that reason for their presence.
 We are looking for a man named Hardin," he said.
 The sheriff was shocked out of his good-natured 1ounginess. AS he sat up in his chair a figure caught his eye, squatting by the far rail of the veranda, like a great toad.
 You Humpy. git," he cried.

For those of you who are interested in blood pressure, we have an article you may have.
 Mrs. E. S.:-Moles are congenital. That is one is born with them as a rule. The little moles on your child's face are growing because she is growing and they will stop growing when she stops growing. They can be destroyed by electro lysis. radium, acids, freezing with liquid air and other methods. This should be done by a skin specialist if it is done at all.
 Sometimes in the latter half of life certain types of moles may become concerous and they should be watch ed If they are in a position where they are irritated they should cer- tainly be removed. I am glad to know that you have lost 30 pounds.
 Reader-If you will apply to your city health department they will fun- igate your house and rid it of VS@- min, or they will instruct you how to do it.
 T. P, W.:-Your asthma. is undoubt- edly increased and made worse by your smoking so much. There are different types of asthma and I shall have a paper on it soon. But until then will you remember that asthma is influenced very much by the diet You acknowledge that you eat a very heavy meal at night and that you always suffer from asthma very much afterwards. Why don't you rear- range your meals and eat a light meal at night? Overeating of certain clements, and incorrect diet in other ways. markedly affects asthma. Of all types.
 M. s. M.:-There are so many causes of headaches that you may need a complete examination to de- termine the cause of yours. Mean while look well to your diet and general habits and correct any that you know are wrong More on head aches later.

 Mrs A. B. P.:-Whooping cough has no fixed length or course. Six weeks is about its average duration but it may run longer or shorter. It is highly infectious and, because it lowers the resistance markedly. it is g. dangerous disease. It really should be @ quarantined disease. Sooner or later this will be recognized by health boards.
 If you will make a long abdominal binder of some elastic material for your child and wrap it around his abdomen, you will find it makes him more comfortable and will give him a feeling of something supporting him when he coughs. It will also lessen the dangers of rupture and will le5- sen the vomiting spells and so help keep up his nourishment After every vomiting spell a child should have a drirfz of warm, nourishfng cream soup or milk. Don't forget this The reason the disease lasts so long in some cases is because children get so run down in nourishm ent.
