 But it wasn't candy. It was spiders, said Sonny, throwing back his head and laughing merrhy.
 "I know, Sonny. Only don't you think that you are getting to be too biz boy to take things to bed with youy'
 Sonny's violet blue eyes registered uncertainty. Then throwing his arms about his fathers neck, he whispered, Shed have throwed them out"
 Well, come along. I think you'd better be getting back to bed now" and rising, Rupert carried the little boy upstairs. Tucking him into his little bed in the room which adjoined his own, he kissed his small son good night.
 As he retraced his steps and entered his den, once more his brows were wrinkled in thought The peace of the evening har been disturbed. Walking towards his desk, he. picked up the pic ture of his boys mother. Her eyes, lust like those of sonny. seemed to smile at him. For a minute or two. with a wistful look. he studied the pie ture of the woman he had loved. Then. IS though he had received some in- spiration from the smiling eyes, he put the picture down again and got out some note paper.

 An excited yell was all the answer tine woman had suddenly discovered a huge black spider crawling on her sleeve. Stepping forward quickly the farmer brushed it off. This seemed to infuriate the woman still further for she continued her trade: That boy os yours will be the death of me-but I won't stayi won't stay another day on this internal place!"

 Help me-nothing. Not another day will l stay here. I'm terrified for my life with him. l put him into bed and then after I straightened up the bathroom went back to see that he was all right.

CHAPTER IT

IN THE lovely old farmhouse of
 Hearts Desire, sat Rupert Ran
 some, a coIlege-breda farmer who was known far and near for the fine Jersey cattle he. raised. A man of delightful personality, in his early thirties, he led very lonely life for just two years before he had lost his wife to whom he had been devoted. She had left little son, who was at once the darding and the torment of his life. About year after her death, when the boy was four years old, his friends had advised him to send the little fellow to a boarding school, where he could have companions of his own age and be well looked after. To this Rupert had objected. He felt the child was too much of baby to be away from home, so he secured the services of housckeeper in addition to those of Rosanna, the old Irish cook who had been in his mothers household when Rupert was a youngster.
 That plan, however. had not worked particularly well 50 far and there had been a succession of housekeepers. This evening as Rupert sat quietly smoking in his room which was part office, part

II she has to start at nine o'clock she is up Tt dawn to anticipate everything She rushes to the kitchen thinking the cook will not be able to serve break fast on time. Inez helps herself to food from the ice box, the remains of yester- days dinner. She eats standing over riding all health hints and physical sug- Cestions. Later while watching the family enjoy a regular breakfast, lnez urges them to hurry up.
 Inez is enough to make anyone laugh on a train. She is up in the morning by the first hours to get into the wash room. If she is told that her train must be emptied at once she begins to remove her shoes for fear the porter will say ''all out' when she is unpre- pared. She gets off the train with rumpled clothing having slept in them so she might be the first to step off the train. She anticipates every village and city.

Inez frequently sees smart dresses in fashion books and copies them. Her older sister asks her to wait just a sec ond and she will cut it out for her to haste. But Inez can't wait that sec ond even for proper help. To see is to do and to do quickly. She grabs the scissors and with zip and a rip the dress is cut indifferently well or pass ably good. She puts it on and wears it out as soon as it is finished.
 Inez was born in a hurry, raised in a hurry and can't sit down for fear someone will get somewhere before she can rise from her chair. She sits on the edge of chairs prepared to spring up at a moments notice. She is restless though full of pep" She will never become monolith. She is too active to join the tortoises.

District Committee at Meeting at
McRae Adopts Rules AS In
Previous Years

The Senatorial District Committee
which met at McRae Monday adbpted
rules as In previous years, whereby all

district, must submit their candidacy
to the voters of the three counties.
Ben Hill, Te1fair and Irwin on the
date adopted by the State Democratic
Executive Committee, for nominations
for the State House offices on Septem
Der 10th.
This rule is entirely in the spirit
OF democracy, since the Senator rep
resents the three counties and should
be selected by the combined votes of
the counties, although by agreement
the candidates shall be chosen from
each of the three counties, alternately
this year being Irwin county's time to
furnish the senator.

this office, and as he is we'll known to
the voters of this county, needs no in

However we recall his record made

and the people of the district were
well represented and his long service
in the House and his term in the SEN
ate qualities him fully for reelection.

McAdoo Has 544;;
Smith 4O8 Votes
McAdoo Is Nearer Nomination
Than Generally Supposed
| Observer Finds

CLEVELAND, o., June IL This
may seem strange source for news
about the democratic presidential nom
nation. Nevertheless it happens there
has been in Cleveland this week an
assembling of information about the
relative delegate strength of the var
ious democratic aspirants in which the
writer has much confidence.
According to this matching and
checking up by men with exceptional
comamnd of the facts, McAdbo is clos
er to success than is commonly under
stood. McAdoo has 440 delegates who
are his and whom he can vote on the
first ballot if he thinks that is the
best way to use his strength. In addi-
ton, there are 104 delegates who will
come to McAdoo within the first few
ballots, after the usual complimentary
votes have been cast for the less for
lnldable tavorite sons, like Gov. Ion
atlan Davis OF Kansas for example.
This gives McAdoo an aggregate
strength of 544 delegates fairly early
IN the balloting. This is within five
OF majority. Every politician and
every person experienced in following
conventions VIII ledllZe tllat THIS puts
McAdoo in very formidable position.
The same computation gives Gov
ernor Smith 29S delegates available
to vote for him on the first ballot and
ITO more who can come to him after
the first few ballots, making 40S in
all.
The same assembling of information
brings out the two important facts.
One is that Underwood will not be the
second choice of the Smith and con-
sentative democratic leaders, and that
Governor Richie of Maryland. prob
ably will. The other is that Senator
Ralston of Indiana, is much less likely
to be compromise choice, as has been
commonly assumed.
The writer was informed that the
antiMcAdoo forces will not consider
Ralston as compromise. If the
opening struggle between McAdoo and
Smith is inconclusive, the others who
will then come into the picture are
Governor Richie of Maryland John
w. Davis of New York; Carter
Glass of Virginia and Senator Robin
son Of Arkansas.
