 This case involved a controversy be- tween Jesse E. Rich and his son. os- car Rich, and when tried some weeks ago in the Superior court at Putnam. attracted widespread attention and interest. The question in point for the court to decide was whether or not the son was an equal partner in the business with his father

WASHINGTON QUIET
 0N ELECTION DAY Many Living There Send in Their
 Ballots by Mail

Washington, Nov. 7.-Elections over the country today had their re- fex in Washington In every gov ernment department there were many vacant places several members Of the, cabinet and many under officials and employees having gone home to vote. The exodus this year, however, was not as great as usual as an in creahng number voted by mall.
 Having registered his choices in this manner, President Harding was at his office at the usual hour with full day ahead. He had all the latest forecasts of his party lleuten- ants and as the day wore along re- ceived scattering reports from the actual balloting. Tonight he was to get the returns in his study as rapidly as they could be received at the exec utive offices over an Associated Press wire and relayed to him over the telephons by Secretary Christian.
 Three members of the cabinet will not vote. Secretary Mellon, 1t was state, was prevented from register ing by pressure of public business; Secretary Hoover now on his way west to a meeting of the Colorado river commission at Santa. Fe, is un- able to reach his home state of Cali fornia in time for the election, while Secretary Davis is still in the far west where he has been campaigning
 While there was no accurate infor- nation as to just how many votes were cast today by residents of "vote- less" Washington, leaders of the two principal parties estimate that there are upwards of 50,000 potential vot- CTS in the District of Columbia, the having been swelled since the enactment by 24 states of laws per- hitting legal residents absent to vote by mail.

his knees, wash face and hands in the icy water.
 It became plain to her that he was nearly ready to depart She watched him preparing. And now she could see him plainly, and knew him to be Quintana and no other. He had light basket pack. He put some articles into it, stretched himself and yawned, pulled on his hat, hoisted the pack and fastened it to his back, stood staring at the fire for a long time; then, with a sudden upward look at the zenith where a slight flush stained cloud, he picked Up his rife.
 At that moment Eve called to him in a clear and steady voice. The effect on Quintana was instant; he was behind tree before her voice ceased.
 "Hallo! Hi! You oyer there!' she called again. This is Eve Strayer. 1 I'm looking for Clinch! He hasn't been home all night. Have you seen him?" After a moment she saw Quintana's s head watching her-not at the shoul- der-height of man but close to the ground and just above the tree roots!
 Hey" she cried. Whats the matter with you over there? Tn. asking you who you are and if you've seen my father?"
 After while she saw Quintana coming toward her. circling, creeping swiftly from tree to tree.
 As he fitted through the shadows the trees between which she was standing hid her from him a moment. Instantly she placed her rifle on the ground and kicked the pine needles over it.
 As Quintana continued his en- circling maneuvers Eve, apparently perplexed, walked out into the clear space, putting the concealed trap be- tween her and Quintana, who now came stealthily toward her from the rear
 It was evident that he had recom- noitered sufficiently to satisfy himself that the girl was alone and that no trick, no ambuscade, threatened him.
 And now, from behind pine, and startlingly near her, came Quintana,

 Eyes mortified stare was natural; she had not realized that any man could wear so evil q smile. Quintana stopped short dozen paces away. The dramatic in him demanded of the moment It's full value. He swept off his hat with a flourish, bowed deeply where he stood.
 "Ah!" he cried gaily, "the happy encounter, Senorita. God is too good to us. And it was but moment since my thoughts were of you swear it!--"
 It was not fear; it was a sort of slow horror of this man that began to creep over the girl. She stared at his brilliant eyes, at his thick But the toe of her right foot touched the stock of her rife under the pine needles.
 She held herself under control.

 Quintana laughed: Charming child" he said, it is I who have caught your people And now, my God!-I catch you! It is yer funny. Is it not?"
 She looked straight into Quintara's black eyes, but the look he returned sent the shamed blood surging into her face.
 By God" he said between his white, even teeth-"by God!"
 Staring at her he slowly disengaged his pack, let it fall behind him on the pine needles; rested his rife on it; slipped out of his mackinaw and laid that across his rifle-always keeping his brilliant eyes on her.

(foetinued From Our Last Issue)
 CAMPFIRE II,
 When at last Eve arrived, at the r'soe Of pines again. and saw the far sioct al gimmer of Qnintana's fire slil was almost breathless. But
 vas not very far away and there ,t ained little time for the taking ( Of q dangerous man.
 Where two enormous pines grew clos together near sapling. she lne down. and. with both hands scoo2ed out big hollow in the inn .n rial layers of pine needles Ha"r she placed her trap. It took ? CT strength and skill to set it; to taitan the chain around the base of the sapling pine.
 And now, working with only the faintest glimmer of her torch, she covered everything with pine needles.
 It was not possible to restore the forest floor: the place remained visible-a darker. rougher patch on the bronzed carpet of needles beaten smooth by decades of rain and snow. No animal would have trodden that suspicious space. But 1t was with man she had to deal-a dangerous but reasoning man with few and atrophied instincts-and with no ex- perience in traps; and, therefore, In no dread of them.
 Before she started she had thrown a cartridge into the breech of her rife.
 Now she pocketed her torch and seated herself between the two big pines and about three feet behind the hidden trap.
 Dawn was not far away. She looked upward through high pinetops where stars sl1one; and saw no sign of dawn. But the watcher by the fire beyond was astir. now, in the inn minence of dawn, and evidently meant to warm himself before leaving.
 Eve could hear him piling dry wood on the fire: the light on the tree trunks grew redder; pungent reek of smoke was drawn through the forest aisles. She sniffed it, listened and watched, her rifle across her knees. ~
 Eve never had been afraid of any thing. She was not afraid of this man. If it came to combat she would have to kill. It never entered her mind to fear Quintana's riffe. Even Clinch was not as swift with a rife as she. Only Stormont had been swifter-thank God!-
 She thought of Stormont-sat there in the terrific darkness loving him, her heart of child tremulous with adoration.
 Then the memory of Darragh pushed in and hot hatred possessed her. Always, in her heart, she had cjstrusted the man.
 Instinct had warned her. A spy! What evil had he worked already? Where was her father! Evidently Quintana had escaped him at Drowned Valley, .- Quintana was wonder by his fire, preparing to flee the wilderness where men hunted Tim. But where was Clinch? Had this sneak, Darragh, betrayed him9 Was Clinch already in the clutch of State Troopers? Was he in jail?
 At the thought the girl felt slightly faint then a rush of angry blood stung her face in the darkness. Ex- cept for game and excise violations the stories they told about Clinch were lies.
 He had nothing to fear, nothing to be ashamed of. Harrow had driven him to lawlessness; the Government took away what was left him to make a living. He had to live. What If he did break laws made by million afro and fanafici What of it? He had her love and her respect-and
