TTHE next fnornlng Donaldson II , and 1 went orer to the Jnnfi- - XI tlon on the early train. -There , y i were three or four stockbold- :' era over there to whom we wished to - affy a final word, though. In onr opln ' Ion, the election waa aa good aa oyer: I experienced a great relief and, aa : sometimes happen, waa the better able to realize how great would bare ; been my bitterness of spirit If Kelvin bad won the fight. .' J ,v I bad various errands here and there ' In the Junction : and , waa separated from Donaldson for some hours, i We met about noon in front of the bust' - tiess block In which the office of the branch is located. ' My first glimpse of Donaldsou showed me that some- thing was wrong. , v' J Te Just bad a telephone message : from Archer," be said. "He tells me . that he can't find Bunn." , "Can't find him?" I echoed. "Hasn't be been at the office X ." ' "No An1 that lan't th wnrat at it" he replied. "Archer, has sent up to Mrs. Stewart's." Bunn's boarding . place, "and it seems that he wasn't there last night." . - ! "Good ben reus r I exclaimed.

"I wish we had blm here." said I.' : Upon a chance 1 went to a public telephone and called up the office but I got no word of any one. Archer. Bunn nor t Donald. I bad a curious experi ence .with crossed wires, however; In the course of which I heard Kelvin's voice for a few minutes and made out tbat be waa trying to get coinmunlca-. ; tlon with Gillespie, . It came to me then to wonder " whether that : rascal had spirited Bunn away. ' It was trick tbtif I did not believe Kelvin would stick at. 1 . Donaldson and I were entirely help less. We had to rely upon Archer, fot we could not git to Tunbrldge and back before the time set for the meet Ing. and so, as there was nothing bet rcr jo go. we nan a morsel or dinner. (Shortly before 2 o'clock Archer ar- rived In a pitiable state of excitement : ..- "What shall we do?" be fried as soon as he was within speaking distance "Without Bunn we're lost and I can ; get no trace of the man. I've got all Tunbrldge hunting for him. We must -. bold np the meeting aa long as wt can." ' ' 4 ' There were about a dozen of th '- stockholders , In the room when wi three entered, Tborndyke waa there and Immediately perceived that h Was very restless. 1 could not get him Into conversation. Be sat In a cornel of a window seat in the attitude of a man with the stomach ache and drum med upon the floor with one foot, a habit that especially, distresses me. Presently the meeting Was called tt order by a little dummy who acta at president of the company because mo: f Important men do not want the office some reports were reao. ana men, wi der the rules. It became necessary H proceed to the . election of a 'board of directors, (. had a little scheme, foi ftoJdlfig back the vote, but It was tJ necessary to spring It ImmeCiatel: Meanwhile the proxies wer passiJ upon In the usual way. and tellers werf appointed, one from each party. Thet were Donaldson and a man named At vln Green, a small stockholder who hat) gone entirely over to the Kelvin party, altbocph h owed ju Stock" and every thing else which 14 had la the world to me - Tlre two tickets tjat ts. twe lists of men named for directors. The lists were printed -and were entitled Ticket No. 1 and' Ticket No. 2. Our was No. 1. , I was about to bepln my tactics fot delay when' there wag a loud knock-In? at tlie door, which was locked. We ail Jumped up from our places uronnd tlif long table except Tborndyke. who ) n.j maintained his seat in tLe vri;,uov tiro - ;'iout the itroceedintrs and dij net stir at the noise. . TLe door was opened, and J...i r, j::n etaliiei into tlie room, with tie air cl a crazy man. I cast one look at hivj and tben turned toward Kelvin.

In great uneasiness I turned to CarL Be was gnawing bta flnjrers. Bunn sat rigid In a chalf, bis head thrust for ward, bis eyes tturing: . . I began to feel a dire Isolation.' These men seemed to know something of which . 1 was ignorant The perspira tlon started from my face. 1 would have given much for a gift of prophecy to anticipate the events of the next few minutes, and this -wish naturally suggested . Donald. I took from my pocket the envelcpe which contained his prediction and turned It nervously In my fingers. Curiosity overcame me. I broke the seal and read, with great surprise, this line: "The Harrington ticket will win by 800 majority." ,: While I waa vainly trying to make this result fit the mathematical possl bllitles. I heard the tellers rise from their table Donaldson banded a slip of paper to the secretary of the com pany, who read aa follows: "All ballots are straight No. 1 ticket has .received the preferences of the holders of 6.150 shares. No 2 ticket has received the preferences of the holders of 4,850 shares. No. 1 ticket, la therefore elected." "Here!" cried Kelvin. "There's some mistake about this. . Well verify those ballots." . , . I expected a reply from Donaldson, but bo had crossed to tbe end of the table where Carl was aittintf. I fol lowed and touched blm on tbe shoul der. 'Bow the dickens Aid we get such it result as that?" I 'asked. "Thorn- dyke must hare voted for us and. Bunn against us." j ' - Th rndyke toted for us." said Don- aldKon. "Hiid Bunn voted for us. This man voted Mfratnst us." ' ; : "Cur If I exclaimed. 4 "Impossible r "My imu tried to warn me of this lonjt orb i said Donaldson, "and I vroe'd not hear him," It Is a mutter of bURlnesH.. said t.'arl barnbly.

'ypur son Is responsible for it. - I bad thought that I saw. my Interest s clear to vote with tbe other party, but at a late hour last even Ing your sou came to my house with Mr. Bunn, and I then learned what an Infernally crooked frame this man Kel vin has been playing. Between us. gentlemen, and to use tbe slang of the day, I couldn't stand for It" Why , didn't you lift the weight from our minds by telling us this?' demanded. "Young Mr. Donaldson desired that 1 should any nothing." was the reply. "and I seemed to see bis point" : For the first time in hia life Thorn dyke bad kept a secret r , t ; . v "Don't you understand?" said Don aldson. "Archer, Archer! ' ; He's the man whom my ' son was : flgbtlnp syalnst, If Bunn had stayed away. Archer would have votod with us, aud we'd have lort the", election Just the same, supposing that Tborndyke bad not changed bis mind. But with Bunn here to vote for us and Tborndyke supposedly safe for tbe Kelvin party. Archer's rote would turn the scale, end U could bt Jurncd im no other way.

SENATE ETIQUETTE. It Cmm Hf MaUast Rsvett MUa A Vice prwWent seated In solitary grandeur la tbe senate chamber, while the ceremony of a presidential Inaugu ration to which be has been invited as an honored guest Is going on outside. surely presents a spectacle with an ele ment of humor In It Few persons knewV how near Theodore Roosevelt can to ploying such a part on the 4th of March. lOOt The senate stickles so for minor details of etiquette that ihe, most strenuous reformer would hardly venture to transgress Its rules, and they require tbat a formal motion to adjourn shall be put before a day's session can come to an end. After bis Inauguration as vice president la the senate chamber Mr. Roosevelt took tbe gavel and. when the routine business waa finished, directed tbe sergeant at arms, as usuah to proceed with the ceremony of Inaugurating Mr. McKIn- ley aa president - It was then In order for some senator to more an adjournment but Is tbe confusion nobody seemed to bare bis wits about blm, and tbe whole assem blage. Including tbe senators, quitted the chamber for the east portico, where the oath was to be administered and tbe address delivered. In a few min utes tbe vice president found himself . alone, with a fair prospect of remain ing so until the day's performances were over, but it chanced that senator Heitfeld missed his bat while passing through the corridor and came back to look for it Pace to face with the vice president it occurred to the senator that something must be wrong, so with tba utmost gravity be moved tnat the 'senate do ' bow adjourn." Mr. Roosevelt with equal solemnity, put the motion, declared it t carried and proceeded In Mr.' Heitfeld'a company to the place on the presidential stand which had been reserved for blm.

" As we have racers and cart horse. so the Arabs and the natives of north eastern Africa have breeds of camels severally adapted f of riding and, for carrjtfng burdens. It ts to tlie fast rid ing and racing camels that the name dromedary alone applies, so that this term the Greek equivalent of "raer" "-Indicates merely a breed and not a particular species. , , k All the camels of Arabia, and Africa, as well as those employed in India, be long to tbe single bumped species. which la a lightly built and long limbed animal In comparison with Its double humped relative, the Bactrian camel of central Asia. Not Improbably some of the herds of the latter species which are found In the neighborhood of the Gobi desert are tbe descendants . of aboriginally wild . animals, but the Arabian camel Is quite unknown ia a wild state, and we are even, ignorant of its birthplace, although it Is quite likely that this may. have been north Africa or the neighborhood of the Ara bian desert. For traversing desert tracts camels are absolutely Indispen sable. Tbeir broad cusbionllke hoofs proclaim them essentially animals of the desert and a camel is absolutely helpless on a wet and Slippery inclined road. As If conscious that man cannot do without them, camels are some of the worst tempered and ill nutured brufs in creatiou, and,, save for their en durance and, the heavy loads they cm carry, no One has a good word to say la their favor. If a camel can bite a mounted traveler, whom , be may be passing In a narrow road.' he win never fall to avail himself of the opportunity, and tbe ' bubbling poise made by a mast" camel at night will destroy the rest of an entire camp.
