Fire split the blackness and the
charge of shot Numbered in a death
spasm, cutting Daco.. to the. ioor.
He never moved again-lay there on
his broad back with his powerful
arms .outflung.
There was a severe trial over this,
Rose Drew being arrested and in
generated. But through the skill of
the young lawyer, Jesse Rathburn, she
was eXonerated.
Gentlemen, you cannot punish this
poor girl for what she did to a de-
mon stepped in rascality."
The above was taken from his pub
lished address to the jury.
And she was freed. Jesse fingered
while that night, having come from
st. Louis to conduct her defense.
'They thought you must have had
an affair with Dacon," he explained,
otherwise he wouldn't have been
present in your house at night. But
thank God we changed their minds"
Later, he said as gently as possible:
I'm beastly sorry Rose-you see-oh,
I might as we'll admit the truth. I've
got to frame marriage of conven-
fence. 1t takes money to get any
where now-and you have none"
She did not protest, but sat silent
and saw him depart for good,
knowing she would never again lay
eyes on his face.
However, fortune belatedly smiled
upon her When the carpenters were
replacing the old floor with new
one, she found the riches the Makers
family had hidden in the house.
There were none to claim this, so
Rose Drew stepped forth proud and
wealthy woman, entering the elite
circles of the town. And she had
the satisfaction of throwing cold
water on the aspirations of Jesse
Rathburn who sought to marry her
for her money. When he wrote her
letters, she promptly returned them
unopened. And it was Rose who
later, and quite magnificently, ar
ranged for herself, a marriage of con-
venience. She married another st.
Louis lawyer.

him. Huh, maybe I amt got a
great deal of love for you. However,
I've got an ak to grind"
She recoiled.
you're after the property" she
accused.
He laughed mockingly.
Maybe that amt ALL"
For long time afterward this
statement was to prove to be a haunt
ing ghost to Rose Drew.
"Well," she declared, "I'n never
be your wife, and you may as well let
it drop at that"
We'll see," he Missed between
clenched teeth, and walked out into
the snow storm where the wind
swept and howled like a pack of
famished wolves.
1t wasn't long after that when her
father died, and after his death she
expressly forbade bacon to enter the
house. She told him that he would
cross the threshold only on pain of
death, and kept a shot gun con-
veniently near.
Countless times Rose thought of
what bacon had said about there
being something besides the property
he wanted. 1t had been, she knew, an
insinuation discreetly yelled, if it
could be called discreet at all.
Then one night she was rudely
awakened wheE a man crawled into
her bedroom throu5 a window near
the foot end of the bed. He held a
revolve.. and this was pointed at
Rose.
At once she knew that she was
being confronted by bacon in a real
life drama which surpassed any his
trionic presentations. She rose
screaming and fled into the kitchen,
where she CROPPED about in the dark
ness for the shotgun kept there for
just such time as this.
Her cold hands graSped the barrel
of the weapon secreted behind the
door with the violent entrance of the
man bent upon doing her some
heinous injustice. Up came the heavy
weapon, and, without pausing to
think, she pressed the trigger.

The story begins on luxurious
June afternoon like velvet, when the
rapidly greening grass reached up to
the Shapely knees of Rose Drew, our
heroine, and when the sun was an
explosion of bronze. piercing thin
veil of saffron; and when the birds
sang, and the soft padded feet of
game broke dry brush with a little
cracking sound, afterwards stirring
brush piles.
Beyond, on the banks OF the river,
about forty or fifty feet wide, squat
ted, like an enormous bug, the gro
tesque Red House where the Makers
family had been slain and robbed.
Rose Drew's father was not, we
have been led to believe, as supersti-
tious as some folk, so he was not
afraid to live where four people had
been fiendishly murdered. The old
gentleman had lost his wife shortly
after purchasing the house from the
late Charley Martin of Maryville,
and now resided with only his daugh-
ter for companionship.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1930-10-04

Drew remained silent. Still, how
ever, the flame of her glowing love
was not to be dimmed by anything,
no matter how grave.
Winter came, ushered in by a fu-
rious snow storm. The ground and
housetops were draped with ermine.
Where once there had been green
grass there were now only deep drifts,
and the trees looked like Christmas,
with icicles clinging to the knarled
branches.
Rose Trew knew when her father
went to bed that winter that he
would never rise again. He had
propped his cane up in a corner,
with the air of one who says to him
self: "Well, you're no good any more"
And a sort of peace and calm came
over him, being, as Rose well knew,
positively unnatural.
Mr.. Drew called her to his side.
I'm drifting away" he said, 80 I
guess you'd better look around and
find a husband. There's Karl bacon,
who lives at Wolf Greek Bridge. l
like him. Besides, he's honest, and
will treat you right. Call him IN.
I'll talk to HIM"
On account of the serious condi-
ton of her parent, Rose lifted no
objection, although she knew that
she could never live with the farmer,
bacon, as his wife.
bacon told her what her father
had confded to him. HE thinks you
and me ought to get married"
They were in the kitchen, seated
before the enormous gray stone fire
place, and Rose was popping corn
over the scarlet flames. She looked
up at bacon with wild stare in her
beautiful eyes.
"You wouldn't want to marry a
woman who hates you, would you?"
asked Rose calmly.
The question brought him volcano
cally to his feet. He was big man
and the floor threatened to break
through under his weight.
$50 you hate me, huh"
He reached out, having hold OF
her and pulling her up in front OF

Rose was waiting with admirable

presently, dry brush cracked again,
the ambitious youth appeared.

She smiled with her eyes, a trick
she had learned, which was with her
quite attractive and lovable.

that I'm losing the best part of ny

rules, and all else is forgotten.
Then Jesse Rathburn told the girl
who loved and trusted him that he
was going away. 1--WE saved enough
money to attend law school," he said,
so had better be making hay while
the sun shines. I aim, however, TO

He went off to law school, making
splendid grades and advancing as

brandished his cane. Get out, and

There was, as far as the young
lovers could see, nothing to do but
to obey; and that is the last time
they met for two years. 1t seemed
that Jesse Rathburn was afraid to

be intercepted by the obnoxious faith

VOTE THEFT PLOT
Charged BY LEWIS
Senatorial Candidate Says
Illegal Scheme Planned to
Defeat Democrats.


DE KALB, ILL.,, october 15.-James
Hamilton Lewis told Democratic work.
ers Of De Kalb County yesterday that
there is q deliberate conspiracy afoot
20 steal votes for United States Senator.
The Democratic senatorial nominee said
that II an honest vote were cast today,
he would receive a majority of 200, 900.
He urged his listeners to take particu-
lar caution in seeing that election
judges who sit as Democrats are really
Democrats who will see that the ballots
are counted fairly. He then named
De Kalb County in particular as one
OF several in which, he said, an attempt
would be made to get the Republican
and Democratic poll watchers together,
giving so-called Democrats petty favors
In return.
The Democratic standard bearer
traced the history of the trade move
ment, which, he said, started in the
last century. He asserted that every
one knew that Tilden was counted
out" in the presidential election of 1876
and that Mckinley was not really
elected President in 1896. Lewis said
McKinley's election could be traced to
the manipulation of $4,000 votes in
three States. The same system is to be
attempted this year, Mr.. Lewis said,
TO try to cheat him out of Republican
votes. He said there were certain coun-
places where such trading can be done.
The method, he said, was to have
selected as Democratic election judges
persons who would wink at ballot
changes and Juggling of figures with
the understanding they would be re-
warded with such Offices as deputy
sheriff and coroner.
