DEMOCRATS SHOULD-DO THEIR DUTY-

A Call from Chairman Graham WhichAll Members of the Party

Should Heed

To the Members of the DemocraticExecutive Committee of MarlonCounty and to the DemocraticVoters at Large-

GentlemenI would respectfully re ¬

quest the members of the democraticcommittee of Marlon county to use alldiligence in getting the democraticvoters registered where not already soand to go out to the polls on electionday in order that the local democraticofficers may be elected by the usualmajorities The putting in the field ot-

a complete state and county ticket bythe republicans and the heavy regis ¬

tration of the negroes of our countymeans that they will use their utmostendeavors to elect a part of the coun ¬

ty ticket and we should still showthem that immovable wall of whitesupremacy-

The democratic party is making thenational fight of Its existence and thepopularity of Mr Bryan with the la ¬

boring men and farmers as well as allother right thinking men has thrownthe odds of election strongly in hisfavor All this coupled with the facthat the president of the United

States who having usurped all pow ¬

ers of government as president is nowseeking to force his successor on thepeople of the country and has usurped-the entire conduct of the republicancampaign He has so besmirched anddemeaned the high office of president-by the direct malevolent and malic ¬

ious attacks against the character ofsome of the purest and best of thepublic servants and champions of therights of the people seeking by so do ¬

ing to cover up the true Issues of thecampaign by diverting the thoughtsof the people to personalities and tomake this a campaign of mud andfilth But by this act he has so dis ¬

gusted the people of both parties whohave any sense of decency and en ¬

hanced Bryans chances of electionfully one hundred per cent If he Ispermitted to use his high office tomaliciously attack the public charac-ter

¬

of the head of a sovereign statewithout giving this person the rightof an Investigation to what extent ishe to be permitted to carry his powerand are we to submit to It tamely-

Let each of us use our utmost en ¬

deavors to the success of the dem ¬

ocratic principles and the democraticticket A dollar is a small amountand most of us can give that muchwithout feeling it Let us hasten then-to do so when we know what greatresult its contribution might bring

Let our salutation be not how areyou but have you paid your dollar

Yours for successJohn M Graham Chm

L CHAPTER XI

THE TOSS OF A-

APTAINNAPKIN

Richard Claiborne gave a sumptuoussupper at the Army andNavy club for ten menin honor of the newlyarrived military attache-

of the Spanish legation He haddrawn his guests largely from his for-eign

¬

acquaintances in Washington be¬

cause the Spanish spoke little English-and Dick knew Washington well enough-to understand that while a girl and aman who speak different languages maysit comfortably together at table menin like predicament grow morose andare likely to quarrel with their eyes be¬

fore the cigars are passed It was Fri¬

day and the whole party had witness-ed

¬

the drill at Fort Myer that after¬

noon with nine girls to listen to theirexplanation of the maneuvers and theearliest spring bride for chaperonShirley had been of the party andsomewhat the heroine of it too for Itwas Dick who sat on his horse out inthe tanbark with the little whistle tohis lips and manipulated the troop

Heres a confusion of tongues Imay need you to interpret laughedDick indicating a chair at his left andwhen Armitage sat down he facedChativenet across the round table

I With the first filling of glasses it wasfound that every one could speakFrench and the talk went forwardspiritedly The discussion of militarymatters naturally occupied first placeThen they fell to talking about in-

dividuals¬

chiefly men in the publiceye and as the AustroHungarian em¬

bassy was in mourning and unrepre ¬

sented at the table the new emperorking was discussed with considerablefrankness

He has not old Stroebels right handto hold him up remarked a youngGerman officer

Thereby hangs a dark tale re¬

marked Claiborne Somebody stuck-a knife into Count von Stroebel at asingularly inopportune moment I sawhim in Geneva two days before he wasassassinated and he was ery feeble

I and seemed harassed It gives a manI the shudders to think of what might

happen if his majesty Charles LouisI should go by the board His only child

died a year ago after him his cousinFrancis and then the deluge

Bah Francis is not as dark as hespainted Hes the most lied about

I prince in Europe remarked Chauvenet He would most certainly bean improvement on Charles Louis Butalas Charles Louis will undoubtedlylive on forever like his lamented fa-

ther¬

The king is dead Long live thekIng

Nothing can happen remarked theGerman sadly I have lost muchmoney betting on upheavals in that di ¬

I rection If there were a man in Hun-gary

¬

it would be different But riotsare Riot revolutions

That is quite true said Armitagequietly

But observed the Spaniard uifthe Archduke Karl had not gone outof his head and died in two or threedozen places so that no one is surehe is dead at all things at Viennamight be rather more interesting Karltook a son with him into exile Sup ¬

pose one or the other of them shouldreappear stir up strife and incite re-

bellion¬

Such speculations are quite Idlecommented ChauveneL There is nodoubt whatever that Karl is dead orwe should hear of him

Of course said the German uIthe were not the death of the old em ¬

peror would have brought him to lifeagain

The same applies to the boy hecarried away with himundoubtedly-dead or we should hear of him Karldisappeared soon after his son Francis-was born It was said-

A pretty tale it is commented theGerman that the child wasnt ex¬

actly Karls own He took it quitohardwent away to hide his shame inexile taking his son Frederick Au ¬

gustus with himI He was surely mad remarked

Chauvenet sipping a cordial He Ismuch better dead and out of the wayfor the good of Austria Francis as IFay Is a good fellow We have huntedtogether and I know him well

They fell to talking about the lostSons of royal housesand a goodly num¬

ber there have been even in theselater centuriesand then of the latestmarriages between American womenand titled foreigners Chauvenet wasnow leading the conversation It mighteven have seemed to a critical listenerthat he was guiding it with a certainintention-

He laughed as though at the remem ¬

brance of something amusing and heldthe little company while he bent over-

a candle to light a cigarWith all due respect to our Ameri-

can¬

host I must say that a title inAmerica goes furthcr than anywhere-else in the whole I was at Bar Har¬

bor three years ago when the Baronvon Kissel devastated that region Hemade sad havoc among the ladies thatsummer The rest of us simply had noplace to stand You remember gentle

I menand Chauvenet looked slowlyaround the listening circle that theunexpected arrival of the excellentambassador of AustriaHungary caus ¬

ed the baron to leave Bar Harbor be-

tween¬

dark and daylight The storywas that he got off in a sailboat andthe next we heard of him he was mas-

querading under some title in SanFrancisco where he proved to be adangerous forger You all rememberthat the papers were full of his per-

formances for awhile but he was aluck rascal and always disappeared atthe proper psychological moment Hehad as you may say the cosmopolitanaccent and was the most plausible fel¬

low aliveIts my experience that we never

meet a person once only theres al¬

ways a second meeting somewhere-and I was not at all surprised when I-

ran upon my old friend the baron inGermans last taU

his English is excellentand hehints at large American interests

lie probably has forged securities-to soil commented the German uIknow those fellows The business Isbest done quietly

I I dare say returned ChauvenetOf course you greeted him as a long

lost friend remarked Claiborne leadlug ly

Xo I wanted to make sure of himand strangely enough he assisted me

I in a very curious wayAll felt that they were now to hear

the denouement of the story and sev ¬

eral men bent forward in their absorp-tion

¬

with their elbows on the tableChauvenet smiled and resumed with alittle shrug of his shoulders

Well I must go back a moment toI say that the man I knew at Bar Har-

bor¬

I

had a real crest The ladies towhom he wrote notes treasured themi dare say because ofthe pretty insigulum He had It engraved on hiscigarette case a bird of some kind tip-

toeing¬

on a helmet and beneath therewas A motto Tide Xon Armis

The devil exclaimed The youngGerman Why thats very like

Very like the device of the AustrianSchomburgs Well I remembered hecigarette case and one night at a con ¬

certIn Berlin you knowI chancedto sit with some friends at a tablequite near where he sat alone I hadray eye on him trying to assure my-self of his identity when In closing-his cigarette case it fell almost at myfeet and I bumped heads with a waiteras I picked it upI wanted to makesureand handed It to him the Imita ¬

tion baronThat was your chance to startle

him a trifle I should say remarked-the German

He was the man beyond doubtThere was no mistaking the cigarette-case What I said was continuedChauvenet Allow me baron t

Welt spoken exclaimed the Span-

ish¬

officerNot so well either laughed Chau ¬

venet He had the best of it Hes a-

m I i

l tJHe tossed his napkin on the table so that

it covered the gold trinket

clever man I am obliged to admit Hesaid And Chauvenets mirth stifledhim for a moment

Yes what was It demanded theGerman Impatiently-

He said Thank you waiter andput the clcarette case back Into hispocket

They all laughed Then CaptainClaibornes eyes fell upon the tableand rested idly on John Armitages

I cigarette case lying on the edge of thetable on the smoothly wojfti odot-

t>

the surTI e on the snowy falcon anathe silver helmet on which the birdpoised Ho started slightly then toss¬

ed his napkin carelessly on the table-so that it covered the gold trinketcompletely

Gentlemen he said if we are go¬

ing to show ourselves at the Darling-ton ball well have to run along

Below in the coat room Claibornewas fastening the frogs of his militaryovercoat when Armitage who hadwaited for the opportunity spoke to

himThat story is a lie Claiborne Thatman never saw me or my cigarettecase in Berlin and moreover I wasnever at Bar Harbor in my life Igave you some account of myself onthe King Edward Every word of 1C

Is trueYou should face himyou must

have It out with him exclaimed Clalborne And Armitage saw the conflictand uncertainty In the officers eyes

But the time hasnt come forthatThen If there Is something between-you began Claiborne the doubt nowclearly dominant

There Is undoubtedly a great dealbetween us and there will be morebefore we reach the end

Dick Claiborne was a perfectlyfrank outspoken fellow and this hintof mystery by n man whose characterhad just been boldly assailed angeredhimGood

God man I know as muchabout Cbauvenet as I do about youThis thing is ugly as you must see Idont like it I tell you Youve got todo more than deny a circumstantialstory like that by a fellow whosestanding here Is as good as yours Ifyou dont offer some better explana-tion

¬

of this by tomorrow night I shallhave to ask you to cut my acquaintance-

and the acquaintance of my familyArmitages face was grave but he

smiled as he took his hat and stick-I shall not be able to satisfy you of

my respectabilityby tomorrownight CaptainClaiborne Myown affairs mustwait on largermatters

Then youneed never takethe trouble-

In my owntime you shallbe quite fullysatisfied said

Be sent a message to Armitage quietlyOscar Brcunlg and turnedaway-

He was not among the others of theClaiborne party when they got intotheir carriage to go to the ball lIewent in fact to the telegraph officeand sent a message to Oscar BreunigLamar Va giving notice of his com-ing
