Grant read the message a second
time. wondering what remark could
have occasioned it. For a moment he
wondered if she had created a pretext
upon which to bring him TO the house
by the river, and then instantly dis
missed that thought as unworthy of
him. AT any rate it was evident that
his addressing her by her Christian
name had given no offense. This time
she had not called him "The Man-on-

of playfulness in the note. Then the

Impatiently to Wednesday evening.
An hour or two at Zen's iireside pro-

seemed unRppreciative of his domestic
privileges. remaining in town unless
his business brought him out to the
summer home, 1t seemed only Just
arrangement that they should be
shared by one who valued them at
their worth.
The Wednesday evening conversa-
ton developed further the understand
ing that was gradually evolving be
tween them. but II afforded no solu-
ton of the problem which confronted
them. Zen made no secret of the
error she had made In the selection
OF her husband, hut had no sugges-
tions to offer as TO what should be
done about 1t. She seemed quite sat
lsfied to enjoy Grants conversation
and company, and let 1t 20 at that
an impossible situation, as the youns
man assured himself. She dismissed
him again at quite respectable hour

Tia3 All Previous Records

NEW YORK, July 4-When the democratic national convention reach ed the 59th ballot last night, it tied the record of party history, and as no nomination was reached, the conven- tion then began setting new record
 The greatest number of ballots here tofore cast in a convention was in that of 1860, which nominated Steph- en A. Douglas, this convention begin ming in Charleston, s. C., where 57 ballots were taken, then adjourning to Baltimore, where two more balotc were taken, 59 in all, and Douglas was nominated.
 The next approach to the old rec ord was in the Baltimore convention of 1912, which took 46 ballots to nominate Woodrow Wilson and coming after that was the San Francisco con- vention of 1920, which took A bal lots to nominate James M. Cox.
 Between ballots last night the whole convention and the galleries were giv- en an opportunity to cheer together, when Chairman Walsh introduced Lieutenant Maughan, who recently made the dusk to dawn flight across the continent, and for five minutes he stood in the glare of the spotlights, at
 
 ledgement of the reception given him. The Democratic Standard and the U. s. flag was brought up and held in front of the platform and some one shouted, "A compromise candidate" 1" for the nomination. It was literally the first time the opposing factions had joined in applauding anything for days.

FOURTH OF JULY IS
 QUIET DAY IN SEWARD

The Fourth of July was quiet day in Seward, the larger part of the population spending the day at Mile Seven where picnic was given by the Sunday School of the M. E.. church. A fine program was given on stage erected for the occasion and free lunch was served in the beautiful grove near Romig's bunga- low While rain fell all day in town no rain fell on the picknickers, add ing greatly to the enjoyment of the day.
 Many Sewardites spent the day on the trout streams, while others took advantage of the new roads to make the trip to Kenai Lake.
 It is the first fourth for many years on which no celebration was held, but the town will give big cele- bration next year.

MT. Bell has a fine launch and his rates up and down the lake are very reasonable. The scenery and fishing on the lower lake cannot be beaten anywhere and com fortable accommodations for over night can be found at the roadhouse at Snug HarbOr.
 For a Sundays outing no nicer trip can be had than by going by auto to the lake and down to MT. and Mrs. Bells where a substantial mea. can be obtained.

McAdoo Lott 76 Votes Friday

NEW YORK, July 3-When adjourn ment was taken at four-thirty this af- ternoon until eight-thirty tonight, with the 54th ballot taken, McAdoo had suffered loss for the day of seventy six x-XOtes and stood at 427. Smith had 320. Davis got 59 on the last ballot, a loss of eight. Ralston had 92.
 During the four hour recess between afternoon and evening sessions. the leaders went into a series of confer enctrS in the hope of bringing to an end the deadlock. Taggart was the central figure in these conferences but he <did not appear to be inclined for the present to force the unduly move ment he had started. He told friends he would have been as we'll satisfied if the swing to Ralston had waited un- til both McAdoo and Smith had been eliminated definitely.
 Leaders are discussing proposal under which the low man on each bal lot would drop out of the running UT til there was a nomination by the pro cess of elimination.

 POPULAR ANCHORAGE PRIEST

Rev. Fr. Monroe, of Anchorage, who is forced to leave for the States on account of failing health, was ten dered reception in his church last Wednesday. The venerable church man first came to the Yukon coun- try thirty years ago, establishing him. self at Eagle where he served many years as missionary. Following the discovery of gold he extended his work throughout the district, holding services in crude meeting places, and doing a world of good to the strag- gling~ camps. Later he went to Fair banks where he was instrumental in building the splendid hospital in that city. Fr. Monroe is universally be- loved by the residents of the Inte- rior, who recognize his great worth and sterling manhood. 1t is hoped that he will recover his health and return to his field in Alaska.
