"They" include the rich and the poor, the once-rich and the mid- fe classes. A hill billy and his wife riding tandem fashion i the hurricane deck of a m ule over the clay hills of Ken Ijicy will find some polling places to record their sovereign tptes.

His horse covered with sweaty foam, One Arm Brown raced to the front gate, dismounted and hailed Judge Boise, telling him of the plight of J. W. P. Huntington, wao, ia ns capacity as superin tendent of the Indian department I for Oregon, had recently received a shipment of gold to be disbursed in payment of salariea and ex penses of Indian agents, etc., and that he was desperately ill at his home in Salem, and unconscious. and had not divulged the place where the money .was kept. i S I This was startling news for Judge. Boise, for he wss on of Huntington's bondsmen; had been an tha first bond after his original appointment in if 14, and als on tha on given attar his reappoint- meat. Tha errand of Ona Arm Brown, at tha argent request of other bondsman, was for Jndge Boise ta hasten ta tha bedside of the sick superintendent and, possible, find out where the money could ba found. R. 1. Boisa recalls that his father was aaickiy in the saddle of his hastily secured riding horse. and tha two riders were off at top speed tor Salem. But he came too late. Huntington was too far gone on his bad of death to ba suffi ciently aroused so that his mind could work and divulge tha mon ey's hiding; place-. Tha sick man died that day, or tha following day. a "a The lettering on the tombstone In the burial lot of the Hunting ton family In the I. O. O. T.

' - ' "I thought you locked the door," he cried. "I did," Ted answered, "but the bums must have stolen the pass key." The room, roughly speaking, had been redecorated. Among those now present were a bobby horse, a bass drum, several pair of dice, cards, empty whisky bottles, bur lesque show poster and other such trinkets. Tha Rene Gallery and Murderer's Row had beca restored with even more amorous inscrip- nona rnaa ring sad ever con ceived. Leaving the Hall they met Pat and the Brute. "Good afternoon, boys," Pat said cheerfully. "You two guys," Pidge responded vigorously, "can go to hell." "Why, whatever can be the trouble with those boys? Pat asked the Brute in his best chorus boy manner. t ine ladtes thought it all quite funny. Showing them the room was al ways risky business. During the afternoon and even ing, Ted had Barb's offense under the microscope; noticed how her smile accelerated when she met each new boy; how it retarded when she was alone with him again. She was treating him as a hus band or a convenience neither was flattering. After dinner she must change to another costume for the Glee Club concert and dance.

After the dance they went be yond the Michigan state line through the moonlight; through the romantic spring. Pidge drove with one arm about Miss Chicago, who found a spot on his shoulder to fit her small head. This was the time, Ted thought, to talk about things. He ventured an arm about her but she caught his preliminary motion and warned hun off coyly. Ted succumbed with' out a struggle. That would be eltssivencss; ges ture number nine in the book of tricks hard to make. Ted knew he was being ungentle- manly for having such thoughts.

Rosalie . . . He had run out on her. While Barb was using him as a prop in her act while other Wey rick girls were at the Prom, Ro salie would be over there thinking what a bunt he was. Well, get it over with. But Rosalie was not mooning at Weyrick. Rosalie was at the Prom with the other girls. Rosalie was with Stone. He would punch Stone's sneering puss, tie bad knocked that sneer off once and would do it again and make an ass of himself. He had thought he was putting one over On Stone by dragging Barb; Stone was smart, that was an. Bat what did Rosalie mean by coming out with a guy like that?

But when the next dance ended Ted managed to be near Stone and Rosalie. Oh. hello," Barb called, innocent as a little bird, the borne town. This is quite surprising." "Undoubtedly," Rosalie replied. "but it's such a small world." "Hello, Rosalie." "Hello, Ted." Their voicea-said nothing; bat they looked into each other's eyas and he tried to tell her how sorry he was.
