rellevedly. She pl;.ee I the weapon on

"Father Is very-very eoinvleutlous."
she murmured ai'-'b-u'erleally. 1
There wn n dUiin- t elne kle from i
the pantry. "I Inure n.itlee.l that." re-j

"It happens to so many of them,"
sighed Annie Jane. "And then father
;Mies them anil they are to rude.
Some of them offer money to let them

The prisoner blushed hotly under tho
scorn In Annie June's voice.
"What did father say when you
tried to bribe him?" fhe asked de
murely, i
"Ho said he said he was the only

Annie Jnne nodded. "Father Is like
that." she said simply. "He sought

There was a lot:' i c iif.;r "

' niile Jane was obsurvini; the
cap and goggle and huge fur
- iing across a chair. Somehow
the prisoner In the pantry did not seem
to be like the majority of motorists
whom the conscientious sheriff cai
lured In the night watches.
As a rule, tho prisoners were dusty
and grimy, w ith oily hands blackened
and discolored. They were of every
nationality and temjierauieut, but one
and all concurred In that they were
unjustly detained.
Tills young inau, however, had a
clean cut, clever face, with a deter
mined Jaw and keen blue eyes. He
was an American; his hands werel
Drown and strong nnd well kept. An
nie Jane liked good bauds.
Suddenly she uttered a little shriek
and tucked her feet under her milled
skirts.
The prisoner shifted bis gaze from
her charming face to the bright rag
carpet. "What la the matter?" he
queried.
"Such a horrid rat!" quavered Annie
Jane, pointing to where a small, gray
body slid along the floor.
"Give me tho revolver and I'll pot
him," he suggested eagerly.
"No, oh, no; 1 eau't let you out," sob
bed Annie Jaue hysterically.
"Nonsense! I'm not going to have
you frightened to death," retorted the
prisoner authoritatively.
"I am afraid of It but I promised to
keep you locked up. 1 cannot break
my word," murmured Anule Jane, with
an attempt at valor.
Once when she was a little child a
rat had bltteu her hand, nnd since then
tho mere sight of one would send her
Into hysterics.
The chauffeur looked at her face,
from which every trace of color had
fled, and, with a muttered excluiation,
he turned away from the little open
ing. A minute iuter enmc the sound of a
window being raised, and presently the
prisoner walked into the room through
the hack door. Without a word he
seized a poker. Thuro was a rush of
steps, a sharp sijucak aud theu silence.
The door opeued and closed.
The chauffeur washed his hands at
the sink. "I shall return to the pantry
now," he began, when the outer door
opened again aud the harsh voice of
the sheriff boomed through the house,
Annie Jnne sprang to her feet,
whiter. If possible, than before.
"Ho's locked lu the pantry, Justice,
and Annie Jane's beeu a-watchlng
him!" said Peter I.amson-trlumphantly.
Mr. Justice Smith, Btout, rosy and
Jovial, withal he had beeu aroused
from his bed, entered tho room In ad
vaucc of the sheriff, aud his genial
glance alighted on the prisoner, who
was calmly drying bis bands on the
roller towel.
"Hello, Wninwrlght!" he cried. "So
you got here after all. Lamson says be
went over to your place, but your serv
ants said you were out lu the machine
chnslng scorchers, I suppose! Now,
Miss Annie Jane, have out the prison
er, and we'll each land lilm a heavy
fine, eh, WaluwrtghtV"
Justice Wninwriglit swept the room
In a keen glance Unit noted Peter Lain
son's chagrined face and the pitiful
entreaty In Annie Jane's eyes.
"Sorry, sheriff. Il's all iny fault, hut
your prisoner has escaped," he said
carelessly.
"Shucks!" exploded Peter I.aiusnn.

DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR
AT LAST FOR NEBRASKA
LINCOLN, Noli., .ran. 8. For the'
first time hi a so tiro of years Nebraska
mm u uemocrutu' governor, Ashton !.
Shallenberger was yesteidiiy imiguriited
as etiief exoeuf i t' iiu-l the event was
uinile the occasion of a widespread
jubilation on the part ul tho democrats
of Bryan's state.
Tho legislature winch convened this
week is also democratic in complexion
for the first time in many years. Many
radical measures will he taken up,
among them a law to guarantee bank
deposits, such as was tuivocatcd in the
national platform of tho party. The
bill will be similar to that which is now
in successful operation in Oklahoma.
Another important plank in tho dem
ocratic platform is tho pledge to enact
a law providing for the physical valua
tion of public serving eoi po rat ion 3. This
pledge will have considerable opposi
tion. County option was na ibsuo in many
of tho counties at tho elect inu and it
is claimed that tho legislature is op
posed to any change in tho present
liijuor laws, although tho comity option
advocates will mako a fight just the
same. Thev claim to have a petition
nsking for the enactment of a county
option law or the submission of a priv
hibition amendment, signed by more
than InO.ouo persons. This petition will
be presented to tU.0 legislature.
