FRIDAY, Dwember '2, IU10 What Official According to official returns piven out by State Statistician Cain, on Wednesday, Judson Harmon was elected Governor over Warren G. Harding by a plurality of 100,377 votes. Har mon polled 477,077, and Harding 370,700 votes. Some of the other official votes were: Ponierene. for Lieutenant Governor, 45,531 plurality. Graves, for Secretary of State, 1H.205 plurality. Creamer, for Treasurer, 2(5,070 plurality. Ilogan for Attorney General, 7902 plurality. Miller, School Commissioner, 15,5'J9 plurality.

In face of the fact that Gov ernor Judson Harmon recieved on November 8 last 75,492 fewer votes than he was honored with Tom Everleigh, Arlkl y By Antoinette Dt Couesey Pattersoa The stranger, for so he was some time still called, although everyone In the little town had known long ago that he was Thomas Everleigh, and that he had come from one of the eastern cities, entered the church and took a seat near the door. He came for no other reason than because he had been bored. He sat near the door so he would be in a good position to beat another hasty retreat should he deem it desirable. But he found the little church cool and comfortable, and, as the service had already bogun, he would probably have the whole pew to himself. In some ways, Tom Everleigh was very exclusive. lie sides, it struck him as rather humor ous that he should be In a church again. He listened, not at all, to the service, but when the old rector arose, and gave out the text, something In the words caught his attention. "The General Epistle of Juile, twelfth and thirteenth verses." The stranger heard nothing of the sermon, but the words of the text: "Clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fniif, twice dead, plucked up by the root: wandering stars." The words kept re peating themselves in his brain. How well they applied to him, Thomas Ev erleigh! The sermon was over, and the col lection about to be taken, when Ever lelgh's attention was attracted to a tU, fair girl who came from the front pew over to the little organ. The strains of a hymn filled the church and the sweet natural voice began to sing. It was all so simply done, and so soon over, yet It made the man who had listened perhaps the most Intently of all, think of many things that had not crossed his mind for years. Tom Ever leigh was an artist at odds with Fate which, after a severe attack of pneu monia, had driven him to the west, and, as he chose to believe, blasted his career. When Everleigh reached the house where he occupied two fine sunny rooms, he asked his landlady, Mrs. Brown, If she could tell him the name of the young girl who sang in church. The Famous JSsjTfe A circular iving The Standard Democrat Figures Disclose in ll'i'M, his plurality was in creased 81,005, the official mar ".in of victory this year being 100,377. Two years ago he re c ived 552,. Mi'.) votes and this year lie gt 477,l7. On the other hand, Warren G. Harding got 150, 497 fewer votes than Andrew L. Harris received in 11KW, his totol being 370,700, as against 533,197 for his prede cessor on the ticket. The shrinkage in the total vote was not as large as expect ed. The general opinion was that it would scarcely exceed 900,000, but the official figures show that 932,202 votes were cast this year, a falling off of 204,203. The total vote in 190b was 1,136,525. In accounting for the loss to the two great parties the increase in the Socialist vote is to be considered. Two years ago that party got 2h,573 and this year 00,037, a gain of 32,004. The Increase was, therefore, over a hundred per cent. The Sociatist Labor par ty increased from 797 in 190S to 2,920 this year, a gain of 2,123. The Prohibition on the other hand receded. In 1908 it cast 7,005 and this year only 7,129, a loss of 534. Mrs. Brown brightened up at once. "Do you mean the pretty young lady with golden hnir and eyes of heaven's own blue?" Everleigh had always suspected as well feared, a poetic streak In Mrs. Crown, so he answered bluntly: "I haven't an Idea what color her eyes were, but I believe she did have yellow hair." , Dut the woman's good nature was as strong as her poetlo Instinct and she was only too thankful for a chance to talk. She went on to tell him the singer was Miss Edith Vincent, the rector's granddaughter, home for her summer vacation. Her parents had died long ago, leaving her very little money and she had been teaching for two winters In a large school In St. Paul. She Intended to go back In the fall. If In the meantime here hla In formant's voice dropped to a mysteri ous whisper she did not get married. The assiduous devotion of an admirer In St. Paul was then hinted at, and also the hopeless passion of the doctor In the next town. I?y this time EverjHgh noticed that his dinner, which Tie always had served In his room, was getting cold. He turned his attention to the meal and Mrs. Brown was tacitly dismissed That afternoon Tom Everleigh took advantage of an Invitation, and called at the rectory. He had the pleasure of meeting the rector's granddaughter, whom he thought the most attractive girl he had ever seen. Later In the week, he called again, and then he acquired the habit of dropping in at Rev. Mr. Vincent's house frequently. But it was seldom that he saw Miss Vincent. She was the busiest person he had ever known. But one afternoon he found her disen gaged for a few hours and, at his sug gestion, they went for a walk. Though they had not seen a great deal of each other, the acquaintance had ripened. He told her much of his past life, and in the recital, she was quick to detect the hardness and the rebellion at Fate, also a certain flip pant and Insincere note. She was sorry for him but, after all, he was only threatened with a dread disease. He had inherited enough money on which to live comfortably; he might Wfk , i fa& '-'btuti&r Good fcnlertain W42VVS menl.Acllvel'seol hfytk'&jj&r nis WHsand His Hands Secure his live! v interest nnl whule- SOme development by giving him The AMERICAN BOY Filled with fine rending which fascinates boys.

She knew so many who were Infinitely worse off and she could not sympathize very heartily with the man before her. lie felt that be was beliif; adversely criticized, a fact which did not please him at all. "I'm afraid, Miss Vincent, you have rather a poor opinion of me." The words were bumble enough, but the tone courted contradiction. "Not exactly that," she repllod. "But I think you bave a wrong Idea of many things." "You are trying to let me down easily, but I am convinced you think me a selfish sort of fellow." Edith Vincent was a little tempted to say that she bad not given the sub ject much thought one way or the other, but she felt he didn't quite de serve this. Without answering, she stooped to pick a few wild flowers which fringed the road. "Well, I am selfish," he continued. "Dut then I have always considered It somewhat of a duty to be that" "A duty?" "Yes, In order to make other people unselfish!" He laughed. "And when It comes to truthfulness," the girl added, to punish him for his flippancy, "I fancy you consider It quite too sacred a thing to be used save on rare occasions?" This time It was Everleigh who stooped to gather a flower. Then he said: "What you really mean Is that somehow I have gotten the threads of life all beautifully twisted?" "That Is it." she answered. For the moment he was tempted to beg her to help him untwist those same threads, so he might begin life over again with her to show him how. Her simple, straightforwardness at tracted him strongly and she was looking very pretty. Dut one glance Into her calm eyes made him realize the foolishness of such a thing. In stead he continued in the same vein: "You have agreed most unfaltering ly to my assertion that I am selfish. You have, yourself, accused me of be ing untruthful. I wonder what next?" A mischievous light came Into Edith Vincent's eyes. "I should think at times you would be capable of being most abominably cross!" This was rather more than Ever leigh had bargained for. "Come," he remonstarated, "don't you think you are rather rough on a fellow this afternoon?" "Perhaps, but it's your turn now to tell me all my faults?" The artist was silent a moment as though In deep thought. Then he said: "You haven't any." The girl's laugh rang out fresh and clear. And then she gave him a prom ise whieh he had sought ever since their first acquaintance that she would let him paint her portrait. "Your portrait Is finished. It is the best thing I have ever done." It was a remarkable piece of work, the expression of the girl's face being perhaps Its highest attainment. Had there been no church for a background, one would still have known that what she was about to sing was a hymn. As the two walked home together the artist said: "I had Intended, with your permis sion, to send the picture to the fall ex hibition In New York, but I have de cided that I can't. I shall be so lonely when you are gone." The girl was really touched; the old note In his voice, both flippant and querulous, was so entirely absent. "I shall not be so long away," she said very gently, and then she added: "Take care of my grandfather for me." They had reached the rectory, but seeing some visitors on the porch Ev erleigh said goodby at the gate. Everlelgh's nature was one of queer combinations and misfits for which the temperament of the artist was largely responsible. At times, he could be as difficult and unreasonable as a wom an, and at others as easily pleased as a child. It was evident that the latter mood was in the ascendent now. He went home whistling. The parting had not been sentimen tal; but he knew how dear to the girl the old rector was, and she had asked him to take care of him. There was a whole week before Miss Vincent must return to St. Paul. The next morning, very earlythe artist was surprised by a call from the rector. The reason was soon ex plained. Miss Vincent had received word from the principal of the school where she taught, saying her mother had died, and that if Miss Vincent would come immediately to see to the entering of the new pupils she would convey the greatest possible favor. Miss Vincent had left on the early train and had seemed most anxious that Mr. Everleigh should know how I F li Kirklnnd The Auctioneer f JUU IV 11 ivldllU.j 0fVanWertCo.,Ohio "He goes far and near, and is known as a first-class Auc- $ X tioneer of Live Stock and Farm Sales.

The news brought a keen sense of disappointment which the sharp eyes of the old rector did not fall to note, and as be was saying goodby be reminded blm that another holiday would not be very fnr away. When the artist was alone, he real lzcd that the next holiday ni very far off an eternity, In fact. He had made up his mind to tell Miss Vincent, or try to, before she went away, how much she meant to him; and then. If It proved she cared for a certain Ar thur Stanton who bad motored over to see her several times from St. Paul and whom everyone but blmsclf thought a first-rate chap, why It was best be should know the worst now! This development bad disarranged everything. Dut one thing became quite clear to him: In a week be was going to St Paul. Three days later be was about to walk over to the ractory, having Just heard that Mr. Vincent had sprained bis ankle, when be was sent for by Mr. Vincent himself In a great hurry. He found the rector lying on a sofa, very pale and with a telegram In bis hand which be silently banded to Ever lelgh. It read: "Miss Vincent tn hospital. Injured by blow on the head from a wagon while saving life of a blind woman. Condition serious. Come at once." It was signed by the resident physician. The rector looked helplessly from Everleigh to bis lame foot The artist took the old man's hand. "It may not be so serious after all,' he said, trying to crush down his own fears, "but I will go for you. Give me your card and write my name under yours. I bave time to make the next train." In a few minutes Everleigh had left the rectory and was on his way to St Paul. Arriving there a motor took him to the hospital without loss of time, and Just as another oar was moving away. He recognized Arthur Stanton, and It struck him such a softening effect has sorrow sometimes that the evident fact that he had been weeping did him no discredit Dut Everleigh was in no danger of this himself. Rather, there was that sense of exultation as of one going into battle. Edith Vincent should not die. Even afterwards he was unable to explain the sense of a strange power which, at that moment, made itself felt through every fiber of his being. He walked quickly up the hospital steps, and as be did so be met the physician in charge. "I have come to see Miss Vincent. I am her grandfather's representative. He handed him the rector's card with his own name underneath. "They have wired Mr. Vincent that his granddaughter Is dangerously 111 and It Is his request, since be Is laid up with a sprained ankle, that I Bee her." Everlelgh's face told the story of bis great distress and sleepless night on the train, and the doctor slipped bis hand kindly through his arm be fore snying: "Nothing can do her any barm now; she's past all that It Is only a ques tion of a few hours." "Is there absolutely no hope?" Ever leigh asked. "None," answered the doctor, "un less a miracle should happen. It has been Impossible to rouse her from unconsciousness. If we could do that, If only for a moment,' there might be a chance." Dy this time they were at the room. The doctor beckoned to the nurse, and sent her on an errand, while he and Everleigh entered the room. Everleigh went to the bed on which lay the unconscious form of the girl who now meant the whole of life to him. He knelt beside her and took the slim hand. He looked question In gly at the doctor whose answering look seemed to tell him to do as he pleased. Then, with all the stored-up vitality of months In the fresh air, and with all the strength and passion of his great love, he called her, not loud ly, but In a voice that rang: "Miss Vincent, Edith, you cannot die! I will not let you I need you so can't you see how much? Can't you see your work Is not yet done? Edith! Edith!" Edith Vincent said afterward that it had seemed like a voice calling her from the far side of a river. And so Imperious were the tones that she started to walk through the waters while something held her up so that she would not drown. "Edith," again his ringing tones. The girl moved slightly, then she opened her eyes. "Mr. Everleigh," she said, "I heard you calling and I have come." Her eyes closed again.

The Japanese police, one of whose chiefs has been studying English meth ods at Scotland yard with a view to Improvements In bis own force, was originally the most aristocratic body of the kind In the world. Its establishment was almost coinci dent with the emperor's decree forbid ding the wearing of swords. I5y a stroke of the Imperial pen the Samurai were deprived of cherished weapons, by which the gentlemen of Japan bad been accustomed from Immemorial times to advertise their rank. So thoy went into the police, where it was still possible to carry a sword, and a very formidable weapon It was, being of the two-banded variety. Perhaps the police 20 years ago were rather too fond of chopping a prisoner In half instead of arresting him, but they were very expert, and there was seldom any evidence to con tradict their own version of the inci dent Heavy Charge for Postage.
