Cora J. Irwin. H. e. Foster attor-
ney for defendant. j. A. Ivers, at
torney for plaintiff, was also sworn
and offered papers in evidence. w.
H. Hardesty was a witness for plain
tiff. Upon hearing the evidence
and arguments by counsel for both
parties, it is thereupon considered
by me that the plaintiff William D.
Irwin is entitled to the immediate
possession of said mules. and that
he recover of the defendant John
Whitehouse the sum of twenty-four
dollars as actual damages and his
(plaintiff's) cost.
This case was carried to the
court of common pleas. We find
the name of John Henderson SUBJ
scribed as bondsman for Mr.. Irwin,
to whom the mules were turned
over. 1t was later found that the
judgment had been transferred to
w. H. Hardesty, but the case went
to the higher court nevertheless. OF
the parties named in the case we be-
1ieve only three are living.

The following letter from A. A. Men
del expresses the feeling of many
readers of the Democrat who have
not written to the correspondent
from their former home neighbor-
hood in Morgan:
Valparaiso, Ind,
February 6, 1887.
@. B. Ray,
McConnelsville, Ohio.
Dear Mr.. Ray:-This short mes
sage is to tell you how much enjoy
ment l get reading the news you
the county are sending to the Demo
crat. You surely have to put forth
great effort and spend much time to
fill a mission that is so dear to the
readers of the paper, who have long
years ago drifted away from the
county and located in different
parts of the country. No doubt we
appreciate the news over the county
great deal more than those who
have always lived there. Bristol
township being my old home, I will
read over the news from Meigs and
Rowland several times, and then
pick up my two hundred year old
Stainer violin and play the Arkan-
saw Traveller, Irish Washerwoman,
and a few hornpipes, and go back
and read the items again. to see
that l have not missed anything.
Would like If you can, to tell me
whether John Roberts was justice
of the peace before or after James
Rowland. The records of those two
justices interest me very much. It
has been so long since I have seen
any high water, think / would like
to be there and see it. If all the
water in the Muskingum and Ohio
rivers were emptied into lake Mich
igan and all the other big lakes
around here, you could not see any
rise. The Kankakee river is only a
short distance from here, but since
it has been dredged out, seldom
gets out of it's banks. Thanking you
again for the many good items in
the Democrat, am as ever yours,
A. A. Mendel.
In answer to Mr.. Mendel's ques-
tion regarding Mr. Rowland and Mr..
Roberts, we find Mr.. Rowland pre-
ceded Mr. Roberts as justice. In
those days it was thought necessary
to have two justices in the township,
one in the north and one in the
south portion of the township. Our
guess is that Mr.. Rowland and T. v.
Chambers served at the same time.

time? After all, it is a double
one"
"All right, darling. I'll compro-
mise. I'll only drink half of it"
You see," and Margery gave
him one of her most devastating
smiles, Il know that you have
some important work to do. Don't
think me preachy, but it worries
me-"
Freddy looked at her as if he
would like to devour her.
You are simply amazing. beau
tiful one," he said.
In what manner?"
"Yeu solve my problems like
that!" He snapped his fingers.
You point the way out so easily"
In regard to wour work."
Exactly, Susie. We are both
concerned about it. And so we
will go in for strenuous play-for'
get the work entirely-and there
you are. Bingo! Our worries will
be over"
This frightened Margery little.
She couldn't afford to fail.
Please be serious, Freddy" she
urged.
Il have to brace myself for
that" He took sip Of his drink.
"Marge has told me. Margery
said, you simply must finish that
novel on time or face an awful
lawsuit"
Freddy stared at her with ad-
miration, but gave no hint that he
heard or understood what she was
saying.
do you know, you are awfully
sweet when you are so Serious?"
Freddy" she pleaded, you
might even go to Jail"
Never had that pleasure. Have
some friends who have. I must
ask them about it,"
Please" Margery said, desper-
ately. please go to your room and
work"
Freddy shook his head and
smiled at her.
You must!" Margery cried, pas
Sionately.
Our first quarrel. Heavens.
how sweet it is"
Margery felt that she was going
to fail. She got up and looked at
him, reproachfully. Freddy stood
UP at once.
I'm sorry, darling" he said.
so am I, but what's the use?"
That's the way to look at it.
Susie. What's the ,use?' 1t is
fate. Can't do anything about
fate, you know. I have the right
idea. suppose we have one dance.

rooms to have a shower and dress

1T does sound inviting" Mar
gerry said. a plan having come to
her at that moment. "but it won't
do. You see, have an appoint
ment at the hairdressers. I am
due right this moment"
We'll. if you have an appoint
ment, I suppose you must get
dolled up. but it will be trying to
paint the lily. Will you be gone
very long?"
THAT depends on the hair
dresser"
"I will be right here, darling. +"
Here? Then please, Freddy,
drink only lemonade, because. {.
well, because ask you"
Lemonade. darling. and hurry"
Margery nodded. gave him a
quick little smile and hurried out.
The waiter came along and
Freddy finished his drink without
thinking of his promise.
Another, Mr.. Matthew'S" the
waiter asked.
"Yes-er-lemonade, this time. i"
Freddy said. The waiter, who
had often served him on his trips
down to Monterey, started at him
in surprise.
II said it-lemonade. and make
it weak, I hate the dashed stuff"
The waiter departed, rather
confused.
Freddy lighted a cigarette, looked
at the time and tried to figure
out how long it would take this
supposed Susie Rogers to get
through at the hairdreSsers.
But Margery had not gone to
a hairdresSers. She had no in
tention of doing so.

CHAPTER XIX

CHAPTER XIX
Margery knew that Susie had
gone out when, on entering her
apartment, she almost stumbled
on the overnight bag, placed close
to the door.
She was in hurry and didn't
bother to look in the bag, having
full confidence in Susie's ability
to pack it properly. But she did
carefully wrap up all of her awful
disguise and thrust it into the bag.
Then she dressed as her own
beautiful self, with just the proper
amount of makeup, caught a taxi
and had only three minutes to
wait for a train, so that instead
of getting started within an hour,
as Abbey Belden ordered her to do,
she was on her way in half OF that
time.
BY instinct she went to Mon.
terey's leading hotel. That was
where Freddy would hang out
while he began his search for
Susie"
When she registered as Miss
Susan Rogers" the admiring clerk
smiled knowingly.
"Oh, yes, Miss Rogers" he said,
zone of our guests, a Mr.. Mat
theWs, who arrived only an hour
ago, has been looking all over for
you"
"I can imagine" Margery said,
dryly.
Shall I have him paged?"
mo, I know just about where to
locate him"
At that moment, Freddy Mat,
thews was seated dejectedly at the
bar in the cocktail room.
Another double Singapore
sling" Freddy ordered and then
he said, to the barkeeper, Harry,
if you were looking for the most
beautiful girl in the world. where
would you look?"
I'm back of me, first, to make
sure my wife wasn't following me. "
IT don't happen to have a wife. "
he said moodily, and began to sip
the drink.
Margery, in her room, got into
her most attractive outfit of sport
clothes and came down, heading
at once for the cocktail bar, quite
sure that Freddy would be there.
Nor was she mistaken. He was
finishing the last of his drink
when he spied her and almost
choked as he finished it and
rushed over to her.
-f"Susie! What luck! I was afraid
it might take me days to locate
your grandfather" he exclaimed.
Then Margery remembered that
she had mentioned visiting a
grandfather. She pretended to be
mildly surprised.
why Mr.. Freddy.
What on earth are you doing
here?"
"Oh, matter of business, didn't
take long, and now here am, ter.

save my life"
"All of which is a big fib, OF
course"

He led her to a table. A few
were dancing to the music of a
small orchestra.

DOUGLAS WINS
 } B. B. GAMES
 OVER JUNEAU
Practice Tits Played Last Night in Natatorium
 on Island

Three Juneau basketball teams met defeat from Douglas Island op- ponents, last night in the Douglas Natatorium. when the Islanders Eagles, Al-Stars and High School lives took easy victories from the Juneau High Varsity, Reserves and Frosh, respectively.
 Losing the game in the last min- ute of play when a sustained drive would have meant success, the Ju- neau High School Varsity players let a Douglas lead of 21 to "A at the end of the third quarter develop into a final score of 34 to 28.
 The Juneau varsity showed good form in the first and third quarters and threatened to take the game during moments of enthusiasm, but the steady, superior playing of the Eagles brought the Douglas team its second victory over the high school varsity this season.
 Erskine, Mills and Edwards were outstanding men on the Douglas team, while Dutch Behrends, Bud Brown, and Ritter played fairly good games for Juneau.
 In the Reserve-All Star game, Keith and Dave Reischl showed an interesting two man passing sys-

tenn. Douglas honors were taken by Manning and Angus Gair who helped keep the Juneau team from coming within scoring chance Of the All-Stars during most of the game, which ended 30-23.
 The Juneau Frosh found them selves up against team which the varsity found hard to beat the othe day, and lost a l3 to g point game to the Douglas High varsity. Despite current reports that the previous Juneau-Douglas varsity game was played half-heartedly by Juneau il order to give Douglas hope and ere ate better competition, the Douglas High varsity showed repetition of now-expected drive and cooperation. Seen to advantage because of ap- parent inability of the Juneau freshmen to learn how the game should be played, the Douglas var sity was headed by Stars Stragier,
 Wahto, and A. Savikko. Juneau novices who may show promise were Rice, McDaniels, and Miller.

 Valley, Idaho

The four-year- University Of Washington Ski team will be pitted a week from tomorrow against the strong Dartmouth squad in two day tournament of skis at Sun Val ley, Idaho, for what will unofficially be top-rank in the country's ski ing colleges.
 Dartmouth is the pride of the East while Washington has held the Pa- cific Coast Conference ski cup since her team was organized little over three years ago In 1884, while Washingtons Husky slab artists were still in very amateurish form, Dartmouth won at Mt. Rainier.
 This year, with lettermen skiiers wearing the Purple and Gold of the Husky pack in much improved form and reinforced with excellent material in the form of new skiiers, the Big Green Dartmouth squad will have a tough row to hoe"
 Six lettermen from the Washing  ton team are returning for action. Captain Bob Higman, Lonnie Rob- inson, Tom Hill, Walt Page, Harold Stacks, and Bill Hubbach.
 Several newcomers are threaten ing the veterans for places on the five man team Otis Lamson, a transfer from Dartmouth, Paul See va, a Northwest skier who spent last winter competing in Europe and Ranger Qvale. Norwegian ex- pert, have all shown exceptional promise.
 The internationally famous ski coach, Otto Lang, is bossing the Husky aggregation
