"I have noth ing more to do here, and, thanks to ** you, the children are all ready.” “With Marlon mounting guard over them.’’ Lillian supplemented. “Come along then. I shall he tin easy, I don't mind telling you, until thaVs done.” I drove her down to the village and waited outside the postoffiee while she went In and Interviewed the post master. When she came out, she nodded reassuringly to me, and then I saw her lift her head quickly, a sure sign to me that she had seen something disturbing. She gave no other indication of anxiety, however, and climbed Into the car beside me with a nonchalant air which did not deceive me—Indeed was not assumed for my benefit. '‘Pretend to have trouble starting," she murmured as she climbed in. “I want time to lamp this bird.” I obeyed her unquestlonlngly, and furtively my eyes followed hers to a burly figure approaching the postof fice from the direction of the val road station. Pirty-hattpd, blue jowled, my eyes traveled down his rough business suit to his feet, and I was ready to endorse Lillian’s com ment given when the man had dis appeared inside tlie postoffice. A Suspicious Character. "A retired policeman, now fancy ing himself a great de-tec a-tive,” she gibed, but I was sure I heard un easiness in her tone. "His flat feet?” I ventured. “Not only his feet," she retorted. "He fairly screams it all over. Now. I’ll lay you a little two to one that he’a been sent here by that attorney who wrote that precious letter. He’s exactly the type to appeal to people who don't have much experience. Of course he isn’t very dangerous, and yet I'm just as glad I was two min utes ahead of him in that postoffice. Not that the postmaster himself would give him any satisfaction—fed eral orders are the only things post masters heed—but there's always the chance that a dick like that can get hold of Rome under-clerk with a taste for melodrama and loosen him up. However, I’ve spiked that thing down fast. The postmaster's on the look out for Just such a specimen as the one which floated in a minute ago, and he'll chase him out with the cats faster than he came in. Let’s go!” The uneasiness in her tone com municated itself to me, and I drove much faster going out to the farm house than I had going in.

HOUSTON, yielding to pressure and filing as re publican candidate for congress in this, the Third district, was ir surprise to some of his intimate friends, who were aware that for several months he had declined all overtures to permit his name to be used as a candidate for any political office. The friends who persuaded him to enter the race for con gress made no mistake in selecting a man well qualified to serve his constituency in nn acceptable manner. Mr. Houston is a first class business man and one of Burt’s most esteemed and foremost citizens. He has had .15 years’ experience here as a business man and as a practical farmer, stock raiser, breeder and feeder. He served this senatorial district in the state senate in the 191!) session, where he made n record as one of the influential and active members in that body, lie was elected presidential elector Tn the 1920 campaign to notify the late President Harding of his election. Mr. Houston has spent all his adult life in Tckamah—it was here he cast his first vote. Early in life he took an active part in public affairs and was elected mayor of this city in 1899 and made a splendid ret-ord. Mr. Houston is naturally a go-get-’em character. If there is any public affair that needed pushing he was generally selected lo lead the enterprise. His usual command is: ‘‘Come on, hoys, let us do it.” Mr. Houston’s wide acquaintance in this district will insure him a big vo*e. He is not an extremist in any sense of the term; he is neither a radical progressive nor a reactionary standpatter- he is just, a sane, level-headed business man who believes in the application of practical methods that will accom plish the best results for the public.

I have a slight headache, and I am going to sen what lying down will do for it. Blit please ask Kati? and Jim to send for you if any stranger comes to the farm within the next hour or two on any pretext.'’ I nodded an assent, and took the car around to the barn without any expression of sympathy for her headache. I knew, and she knew 1 knew, that it was only a blind. She wished solitude to plan what course It was best for us to pursue in order to escape the espionage of the detec tive employed by the Harrison fam ily. Coming back to the kitchen, I laid her injunction upon Jim rind Katie as emphatically as I could. “Remember," I said, "not to tell anyone tiie Harrison children arc go ing away. As far ns you know they are on here indefinitely.” "Not even Tieers?” Katie asked, dolefully, and I knew how tier gos sipy, voluble soul longed to share her I knowledge with our neighbors. "Especially not the Tlcers." X said sternly, for though I knew My. Ticer to he able to emulate a ceme tery, where a secret was concerned, her son and husband did not share her discretion. “Me, I no say notings,” Katie promised effusively, and only partly reassured by her protestations I went to the library and read to the children gathered there until Katie with excited eyes came to the door.
