COOLIDGE TIDE SWEEPS HIM OVER
 WITH 374 VOTES
Wins All Save Solid South Wisconsin And North
 Dakota

. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Cool idge tide, gathering increased momen- tum, has. found effective resistance only in tie .t'solid south." Wisconsin and pos sibly North Dakota.
 Its crest has swept a safe republican majority into the house. and is moving with force which may accomplish a like result in, the senate.
 Democracy's only hope of adding to the. electoral vote it received from the .'solid south" began to vanish today when the Coolidge and Dawes ticket rolled ahead in New Mexico, where first returns had shown lead for John W. Davis.-
 At the same time it showed a resis- tance in North Dakota that seemed like ly to stem the threatened inroads of the La Toilette forces.
 With Wyoming apparently definitely thrown into the Coolidge column 9n the basis ofs late returns, the Presiden's total electoral vote certainly will be 374, and it may reach 3S2. This would depend upon his ability to hold his present advantage in New Mexico and North Dakota. The Davis total stood at 136 and the La Toilette vote in the electoral college at 13.
 Over 5000, 900 Votes
 With the returns for the whole country still incomplete and practically none official President Coolidge had in excess of 15,000,000 votes, several mil lion in excess of the. combined estimated total of Mir. Davis and Senator La Toilette. On the basis of this calcula- ton, the democratic candidate had ap- proximately S,50O,O0O and La Toilette 4,5O0,OO0. ... tZ
 An analysis of the popular vote showed that Mir. Coolidge had received nearly 100000 votes in each of two states, Pennsylvania and New York, and in excess of 100000 in one other state, Illinois. In several other states the vote for him exceeded 50O, 900. These included Indiana, California, Michigan, New Jersey and Ohio.
 While Senator La Toilette may carry but q single state, his supporters were able to maintain their strength in the house of representatives. Whether the bloc of senators identified with him will remain intact depends upon the outcome of now close contests in two states, Iowa and Minnesota.
 Senator Smith W. Brookhart, after having conceded his defeat, found him self late today running ahead of his democratic opponent, ss result of re- checks inisa number of precincts. In Minnesota, Magnus Johnson, one of the two farmer-labor senators, was grad ually cutting down a well proportioned lead rolled up against him by Repre- sentative Schall, the republican nom inee, and still claimed that when the final vote was in it would show his

 MADEBY WOMAN
Miss Audra Stone Wishes. Movement Success
 With $50 Check

To Miss Andra Stone, stenographeR in the offices of Adams-Rowe & Nor man, falls the honor of being the first subscriber to the second annual ap- peal of the Community Chest, accord; ing to announcement by Alfred M. Shook, Jr., chairman of the appeal ac- tivities, at a conference of the execu- tives Thursday afternoon.

 Appeal headquarters at 2020 Fourth avenue, north, were expected to be ready for business Friday morning and the various committee chairmen and execu- tives will begin holding their meetings there. The first meeting scheduled for Friday will be that of the publicity committee, of which w. M. Cosby is chairman, and plans will be laid for an extension of the work of this commit tee. ,.f @ f.>,A
 Y. M. c. A. Interested
 Not only, the men, but also the boys, who are members of the Young Mems Christian association, are looking for ward with keen interest to their part in the second annual appeal of the Com munity Chest, November IS through 27, and indications are that they will be among the most active of the workers for it's success.
 W. S. Stallings. general secretary of the Y. M. c. A., in a letter to the off cers of the Community Chest Thurs day, tells just what the Community Chest means to his work, as follows:
 "In submitting our annual report for the past year, and the budget for 1925, we desire to express our appreciation of the service the officials of the Com munity Chest has rendered the Y. NJ. 0. A. and many other agencies during the first year of it's operation, and pledge our hearty support and cooperation in the campaign for the second chest fund. We are ready to join hands with other citizens of the city and make the sec ond campaign a success in every par; ticular.
 "Tke Community Chest saves the agencies and their workers from the dis traction incident to the individual cam Daign, and thus permits them to give more time and thought to their regular work. It makes for better and closer co-tperation among the different agen- cies and thus brings about more whole some community spirit and permits the community to provide more systemati- cally for needed development in social work.

CHAPTER XIV
The scrape Of a Match.

While grooming Graylock In his stan
that evening Jack Warhope thought of
the face that had appeared for its
startling instant at the snludged win
dow of Henry Spencer's unhallowed
cabin. AS. a matter of fact, he had
been thinking of it ever since riding
out of the jaws Of the hollow.
He hung up the curry comb and
stepped to the barn door. The sun
glared red through slit in the cloud
bank, and still cleared the trees on the
distant foothills by yard enough for
the purpose he contemplated.
A moment later he was climbing the
rough path that led to the uplands.
Pausing, to search critically the woods
in every direction. he then stole away
toward the ill-reputed cabin of the
dead woodchopper.
The sun just edged the tree-tops
when he came opposite the place.
Down in the bottom of the hollow the
shadows lay heavy but the light still
touched the uncanny howell sQuatted
against the hillside
Stealing through the bushes and
brambles, he crept up to the place I'M
der cover Of the fallen oak, with It's
festoons Of wild cucumber vines. Near
the corner most densely hidden by the
vines a chink had dropped out from
between the logs, leaving a narrow
crevice. Shading his eyes, he peeped
within. The cabin was empty.
Hugging the wall closely, he crept
around to the sagging door; softly
pushed it open. His eyes lifted at what
he saw-an old box on end near what
had once been the fireplace. an empty
whisky bottle on the box, with lamp
standing beside it ready to light; a
blanket ready to hang over the
smudged window.
The dusty floor was covered with
tracks-man tracks-one mans. Step
ping so as carefully to set his feet in
the tracks, he entered the cabin and
closed the door.
