rail Eddie tried to reason it all
out.
The trouble was that he couldn't
talk about Bernice to Marian
without the appearance of caddish-
ness. How could he tell one girl
that another was crafty in love
with him? How could he defame
Bernice-yet her lack of morality
certainly was vital to any true
understanding Of the situation?
No, the whole truth was not
the sort of thing he could dis
cuss with Marian. At most, he
could tell only half truths, and
there would be about any ex-

would have a hollow ring.
He was startled. suddenly, by
the sharp vIgor OF the telephone
bell from inside.
The intense thought ran through
him that Marian was calling

In desperation he hung up the
receiver. He was trembling all
over. If she rang back he wouldn't
answer it. He took a strip of

The fact of the matter. Eddie

alter the fact. He was mixed up
with a woman--an unsavory girl
who bore the flash and stamp of

Within another day or two, the

she had come after him. Maybe

He was not happy, nor yet

neither the will nor desire TO

to blot out all else, hung like
a single star in his mind. He
was going to see Marian.
'The business of hitching his horse

By DONALD A. CRAIG.

November 23, I876--Persons who
placed bets on the recent presidential
election are advised to take precau-
tionary measures" by writer who signs
his communication with the initials wv.
j. d. in The Evening Star today. He
warns those who bet that Gov. Hayes
would be elected President OF the United
States in the contest with the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee. Gov. TIL
den. to watch out for proposals coming
from the Democratic side to declare all
bets ''off'' in view of the present doubt
that exists over the result in several
States and the contest which has arisen
as to who was elected President.
The writer refers TO a Democratic
view of the matter as outlined In the
Baltimore Sun, received here this morn
ing. He says that. as the Sun points
out, on all wagerS amongst betting men
there are certain rules which govern.
They are "by common consent termed
referees. to whom the question is lett
for decision" For instance, In a horse
race all bets go with the decision of the
Judges. but at the same time the judges
have undoubted right to declare all bets
"of" and by all betting men this ruling
is generally acquiesced in without any
murmuring."
at is plain to the whole country
continues this writer, presumably still
quoting the Sun, that Mr.. Tilden has
besn fairly and justly elected as the
next President of the United States. If.
however, by any pretext, dishonest and
unscrupulous partisanS should attempt
to divert the just will of the people and
set aside their verdict under false and
vague rulings, then and in such case
any fair-minded referee would declare
all bets off,"
This attitude should be warning

parties to take precautions to protect

parties to take precautions to protect
their bets.
Meantime, the election muddle," es-
pecially with regard to the proper count
of votes in several Of the Southern
States, grows in difficulty. It appears
that, although the South Carolina elec-
tion board has certified the election of
the Hayes electors in that State. the
case there will be taken to the courts.
The doubt as to the result in Florida
and Louisiana is no nearer being re-
moved than 1t was on the day of elec-
ton, and partisan feeling Is running
high.
