would be used in New York at the next
election because Of the disagreement be-

Elections and because the Automatic

into contract SO far as New York city
Is concerned.
Mr.. Lyons had negotiated with other

I'VE prefer to sell our machines only
to those communities desiring them"
Mr.. Lyons said that. under the cir
cumstances. he was pleased that the
company did not see fit to make a con-
tract for the purchase Of the machines.
Under the mandate of the law he
said, II would have had no alternative
but to have made the purchase. Unfor-
tunately, there is no existing competition
between used and tried voting machines,
the Jamestown product being the only
voting machine in general use through
out the country and in this State for
the last eighteen years.. Forty-five
counties in this State are using this
voting machine with absolute satisfac-
ton, leaving twelve counties outside New

Dick took the chaps, and, going up
to Mercedes, he explained the sltua'
tion. She laughed, evidently at his
embarrassed earnestness, and slipped
out Of the saddle.
"Senor, chapparejos and I are not
strangers" she said.
Deity and promptly she equipped
herself, and then Gale helped her into
the saddle, called to her horse, and
started off. Lash directed Gale to
mount the other saddled horse and
60 next.
Dick had not ridden hundred
yards behind the trotting leaders be
fore he had sundry painful encoun-
ters with reaching cactus arms. The
horse missed these by narrow mar.
gin. Dicks knees appeared to be in
line, and It became necessary for him
to lift them high and let his boots
take the onslaught Of the spikes.
Ladd pursued zigzag course south
ward across the desert, trotting down
the aisles, cantering in wide, bare
patches, walking through the clumps
Of cacti. Gale became chilled to the
bone, and his clothes were damp and
cold. His knees smarted from the
wounds Of the poisoned thorns, and
his right hand was either swollen
stiff or too numb to move Moreover,
he was firing. Mercedes must be made

Ladd was carrying Mercedes.
1t seemed that hours passed, though
he knew only little time had elapsed,
when once more he threw off the spell
of weariness. He heard a dog bark.
Tall trees lined the open lane down
which he was riding. Presently in the
gray gloom he saw low, square houses
with fiat roofs. Ladd rode on for
perhaps a quarter Of mile, though
it seemed interminably long to Dick.
A grove of trees loomed dark in the
gray Of morning. Ladd entered It and
was lost in the shade. Dick rode on
among the trees. Presently he heard
voices, and soon another house, low
