CHAPTER XVII.
The English medium, Mrs. Brand,
came to Chicago sitting" in private
homes of several of the most prom
inent people Of the city and demon
strating evidences of communication
to the full satisfaction Of the IN
creasing groups Of devoteees, and
daily convincing the skeptical of the
reality of her powers to reach the
world beyond.
She established, therefore, most ideaA
conditions for the trial Of Lucas
plan to demonstrate the fact Of Ag-
mes Cullen's presence in the realm of
the dead.
Shortly after Lucas Cullen, Senior,
had communicated - his family, his
decision to attend the sitting" of
Mrs Brand at Mrs. Stanton-Fleming' S,
Barney received by special messenger
one of those cards which admitted the
holder to Mrs. Stanton-Fielding' )
drawing room between 4:30 and $50.
With the card came a note enjoin-
ing him to be present early, to occupy
an inconspicuous position and par
ticularly to avoid recognition by the
Cullens, but to closely observe them.
These directions were not signed,
but Barney was sure that his mother
had written them.
You shall hear all-all," she had
promised him, when she last clasped
him, "all in its proper time, my son.
If 1 told you now. would spend too
much-too much of what I've kept

LATE VOTING I IN PRIMARY.

Slayton's official lead over Grand
field in the Washington county sheriff
nomination was l3--lucky or unlucky,
according to the viewpoint. Incidental
ly, 1t is worth noting perhaps that the
majority was essentially the same as
was ascertained by The Times during
the early part of the night following
the voting on September IL. Within
three hours after the ballot boxes
were closed The Times announced
that Slayton had been turned in a
winner by 10 majority over Grand
field. The difference of three votes
might, perhaps, be accounted for be-
cause of poor telephone communica-
ton in theN receiving of the returns
from the twenty cities and towns Of
the county, as some of the returns
had to come in over two-system con-
nections, making the hearing rather
indlstinct.s In view Of the fact, too,
that returns were very frequently be
ing given and received over the tele-
phone during the height of the COM
pilation there was also a chance for
slight error to creep in. Under those
conditions the returns for sheriff, as
we'll as for the other county and state
Offices, furnished by The Times on
the night of the primary, were on the
whole rather nearly accurate.
In this connection it might be well
to state that the plan of holding the
ballot boxes in the primary open to 8
o'clock in the evening has nothing par
ticularly to commend it. The bulk of
the voting was in by 9 o'clock and the
few votes cast in most of the towns
of the state after that hour did not
amount to much. Ii would seem to
be more reasonable to adhere to the
same hours as are set in the elections,
with the ballot boxes open in the
morning. 1t is probable that the
choice of the voters for candidates
would be as accurately determined in
earlier voting as it Is BY late voting.
