Practically Complete Count.
Portland.—On the face o f thu unof
ficial returns Hen W. Olcott has been
nominated by the republicans for gov
ernor over Charles Hall, his nearest
contender, by a lead of more than Z60
votes.
With the tag ends of the vote In
Several counties which have given
Olcott substantial majorities over Hall
to clean up, and with the vote com
plete In all Hall counties, the totals
stand:
Olcott. 42,72«; Hall. 42.4*1—Olcott'»
lead, 247.
In Malheur county, where on the
partial returns Olcott has 29« and
Hall 7«, there Is about one tblrd of
the vote yet to be counted. The esti
mate of the county clerk o f Malheur
county Is that Olcott will have fully
300 majority over Hall In that county.
There are allll 16 precincts to hear
from In Harney county, where on the
Incomplete count the vote stands,
Olcott 112, Hall 23. There Is one pre
cinct missing In each o f the following
counties: Maker, Douglas, Wheeler.
Kxcept as noted above, the vote Is
complete In all counties. In the fol
lowing counties the county canvassing
board has checked over the reports of
election boards and tha figures are
official, and subject only to check by
the secretary o f state:
Menton, Marlon. Clackamas, Crook,
Jackson, Klamath,
Morrow, Polk,
Sherman, Tillam ook and Yamhill.
In the other counties where com
plete reports have been received the
figures are unofficial, but are com
piled from the reports of the precinct
election boards.
It la probable that Olcott will gain
at least 100 votes over Hall In the
preclnrta yet to hear from In Malheur
and Harney,
It Is possible that the canvasses yet
to corns by county tgrards and the re
canvass by the secretary of state will
disclose some errors—Increase or de
crease the Indicated lead for Olcott.
but It Is not believed probable that
the official canvass can disturb the
main result.
There Is, however, already talk of
a probable demand for a recount. The
Hall supporters are said not to be sat
isfied that the Multnomah county bal
lots have been correctly tallied, and
they are said to be Investigating a
rumor that reservation Indians were
voted In Umatilla county. They may
ask for recounts there and elsewhere,
but are awaiting tho official canvass
before taking action.
Rant Control Extended.
Washington, D. C.— Congress raced
Monday with the landlords of Wash
ington and won by four hours and 46
minutes— putting through a two-year

Meanwhile, Mra. Curtis was walking
tbe floor upstairs, half mad with anx
iety, and Katherine, In a state of
nerTes. waa smoking one cigarette a f
ter another.
“God!
When sbe'e gone," broke
forth the girl, 'T il know what happi
ness means!"
“ So will I," echoed Mra. Curtla.
“ It's almost time for me to go down.
Isn't It? I hope that mao won't dis
appoint us."
“ Don't fear about that,”
sneered
Katherine. “ He's even more anxious
than we are. So* Reggie, bat I don't
envy you telling Tony her mother's
•live."
“I think you might do I t ” com
plained Mrs. Curtis with a sniffle. “ All
the snxlety and worry of this thing
has fallen on me."
“That’s because you're so clever,
my sweet," retorted Katherine, sarcas
tically. “ Oh. go on down and don't
act as If you were afraid of your own
•hadow.
Say, Rege was drunk as
anything at dinner.”
“ Disgustingly so." sighed the moth
er as she went out. “ I hope to tbe
high heavens he'll straighten up some
day.”
First Mrs. Curtis stole down to the
library. There she found Uriah De
von, standing with hls hat In his hand,
and, as be saw her, he made a grin
ning bow,
“ Where's Rege?” he asked eageity.
“ Upstairs, I think," replied Mrs.
Curtis In a low voice. “ He's had too
much to drink. Did yon bring your
w ife?"
“ Y ep; she's outside." was the man's
answer.
“ And the kid? Does she
know Kde's still In the land o f the
livin'?"
“ No, but I’ll tell her now." returned
Mrs. Curtis desperately. “ Here's the
five thousand dollars." She thrust a
roll of bauk notes Into hls hand. 'T il
send Tony right down.” ended the
woman and she went swiftly out.
Uriah glanced shout the room In
anticipation.
He Intended not only
to take Tony with him. but every
thing else of value he could lay hit
hands on. Edltb had often described
the valuables kept In a wall-safe In
this very room. Mrs. Curtis had no
more than closed the door before, re
volver m hand, he began hls search.
An exclamation of delight almost es
caped hls lips when he discovered the
safe-door was unlocked. He grinned
at the carelessness o f the rich as he
(lung Into tha black bag the boxes of
Jewelry, completely stripping the safe
of Its contents. He didn't take time
to look over hls haul I That would
come later.
Alt through the day Tonnlbel Devon
had told her Joy over and over to her
self. Now, almost ready to retire, she
was sitting rending the Bible. It
seemed most appropriate that on this
night she should sing with the Poet
the Psalms o f Thanksgiving.
A knock at the door caused her to
close the book and pnt It on the ta
ble before she called: “Come In."
At the right of Mrs. Curtis she rose
to her feet, startled.
‘T v # good news for yon, child,"
choked tha woman, and Tony went
forward eagerly.
“ W h a tr’ she demanded. “ Is Phil-
ip—"
“ Now, don't get nervous, my dear."
came In quivering Interruption. “ Bat
— but you were not correctly Inform
ed about your mother. She's— she's
downstairs."
A violent emotion overtook the girl.
She knew then she had never really
believed what Uriah told her.
"M y mother I" aha breathed, her
eyes deepening In color. "M y dear
little mother I Oh. let ma go to her I"
“ She's In the library. This Is a
happy day for you. my dear— for—all
o f ua. You’d better dress, hadn't
you?"
Tonnlbel hadn't even beard the Isst
words. 8he fled down the stairs and
Into tbe library, panting for breath.
Her cup of happiness was full to ths
brim, now that Edith had come back
to her. She halted, closed the door
and ran Into the room.
“ Edle, mummy dear!“ she called
softly, so overcome tbe could not
raise ber voice.
Then Uriah Devon stepped from be
hind tbe grate-screen and came to
ward her.
“ Daddy," pried the girl, “ where's
mummy? Where's my mother?”
Uriah dropped the bag and laid tbe
revolver on a chair. He had never
seen such a vision of loveliness. The
masses o f dark curls flung over tbe
flimsy dressing-gown, tbe small, bare
ankles peeping from tbe soft blue slip
pers sent so unholy desire for pos
session over him. What a fool be bad
been to promise her to s fellow like
Reginald B row n!
“Tony," ha faltered hoersely. “ I've
been s dog to you all these years.
I've come to tell you I love you. kid,
more s anybody In all tbe world.”
Tonnlbel dodged bis outstretched
arms and flames of anger leapt Into
her eyes at bis words.
“ But my mother." she exclaimed,
trying not to cry ou t
“ Never mind her. Tony, never mind
any one." commanded Uriah. "The
fact to, I ain’t your daddy at all. I'm
not any relation te you—“
Then he snatched at her and. as
she tried to flee from him, caught her

from her fingers.
“ Mummy,” cried the girl. “ Oh. Godl
You've killed him, Kdle darling!”
Still tbe woman didn’t say a word.
She only gazed at the speaker tin-
seeingly.
Tony snatched the gun
from her hand.
"Edle." she groaned.
"Mummy,
sweet, go right away, before any one
comes.
You’ve killed Uriah.
Go
away, go away. I say."
She grasped Mrs. Devon's arm and
hurried her toward the porch door.
“ Run,” hissed tho girl. "Get bock
to the boat quick. Iron't ever say a
word to any one." Then Tony spied
the little black hag she’d seen so of
ten on the Dirty Mary. Picking It
up she thrust It Into her mother's
bauds. "H ere I Take this, too. Oh.
mummy; kiss me, kiss m e!“
She flung herself upon the woman
frantically, kissed the pallid, Impea-
si ve face «gain and again and then
shoved Edith oat upon the dark porch.
It was while Tony's whole attention
was centered on her beloved that Reg
inald Brown seized the opportunity
to sneak stealthily from the room.
The neiwous women In the upper
part o f the house had not expected
to hear the piercing scream that came
to their ears, and. is It was repented
more than once with such terrible In
sistence. Mrs. Curtis, followed by
Katberiae. fled down the stairs.
Tony heard them coming, and a
surging lova for her mother brought
a resolution full-born from the loyal
young heart. She was standing over
tho prostrate Uriah when Sarah Cur
tis and her daughter rushed madly In.
“ I shot my father." rasped Tonnlbel.
looking at Mrs. Curtis, her fingers
locked tightly over the handle of tho
revolver.
“ Where's your mother?" came from
Mrs. Curtis’ lips.
Tonnlbel didn't answer for a min
ute. then she shook ber head.
"She hasn’t been h ere!" she swal
lowed hard and continued : “ TwwS
my father, and— and I shot him.”
Katherine took a long breath of ex
citement.
“ Don't you know you’ll be arrested,
you wicked girl?” she ejaculated.
“ And executed!" Interposed Mrs.
Curtis. "Katherine, call tbe police.”
As Katherine made for tho tele
phone, a motor car driving up to the
house stayed her kctlon. Her hand
dropped from the receiver when Phil
ip UacCauley came In. For a moment
he didn't see Devon. With a quick,
flashing glance, he noticed how pallid
and deathlike hls Tony wav.
"W hat have you two been saying to
her?” he demanded In deadening
tones.
“ I suspected something like
this, and— and got away as soon as I
could. . . . Darling girl, don't look
at me like tbat."
Mrs. Curtis was fully herself now.
“The wicked girl has shot her own
father." she told Captain MscCauley,
making an effort to keep the satis
faction out of her voice. “ There he
Is, dead on the floor!”
Then Philip saw Devon. In horri
fied amazement and disbelief bis gaze
came back to Tonnlbel.
“ Darling," ho said, and he went
swiftly to her. “ I don't believe a
word o f It. It's all a H e!"
Tooy flung out her band.
“Don't touch me. please don't!" she
mumbled. “ I told ber I did It, and
I— I— I— did.”
She backed away from the out
stretched arms.
“ But you couldn't have." groaned
the boy. “ What happened? Oh, God!
Won’t someone tell me what hap
pened?"
“ Mother has told you quite plainly,
Philip,” gulped Katherine, noticing
with a thrill that Captain MacCanley
had not covered the few steps Tony
had retreated. “ She said she killed
her father, ami no girl admits such a
thing as that unless It’ s true. Heav
ens. there's Cousin John and— "
“Cousin Paul," fell from Mrs. Cur
tis, who looked as If she had turned to
stone.
Not another word was uttered by
that silent group o f people until after
the two doctors entered the library.
For a moment everything was con
fusion. Doctor John forced Mrs. Cur
tis Into a chair when she tried to fling
herself Into hls arms.
With every
one but Tony talking at once, neither
he nor his brother could understand
the meaning o f the seemingly dead
man on the floor.
“ W ill you all keep still, a!! o f you?”
shouted Doctor John, In hls bombastic
voice. “ First. Paul, let's see about
this fellow here."
“ Tony shot him. If you want to
