Bergen in the Democratic column again is a novelty I winch may be pregnant with omen. Even Senator Arthur Whitney carried the county in 1925 by 11,500 over A. Harry Moore when the Democratic nominee for Governor won the state by 38,428.

Chairman Thomson and his new Republican County Committee indorsed the constitutional amendments and Thomson went about making speeches for them. It is true that these addresses were far from profound. Mainly they were a repetition of the fabrications of Edge and Stokes, especially with respect to the fourth amendment which no man could honestly and frankly discuss without admitting its hopeless blunders and its rank partisanship. An intelligent electorate in Bergen looked through and beyond Thomson, saw the truth and voted the other way. Overnight the magnificent majorities of the county faded to insignificent figures and in the case of the most important proposal resulted in a Democratic victory.

Evidently there little confldence anywhere, cither in the chariman or in his committee's recommendations. "And I'm not pinning any notions on myself." Lucy was wont to say when friends made flattering; com- ments on her artistic ability. "If; Dad hadn't taught me to keep book. In so simple a manner that 1 know just exactly where I Htand financially I could not have done It. It Isn't so much artistic conceptions that make success as to know where the dollars and dimes are doing the most Rood.

My books are always written right up to the day." Jn view of the hard-boiled facts then It was a bit of a surprise that I.ucy took the course she did a few days later, but as a matter of fact, she had a particularly pleasant motive behind her action. The motive was, however, known only to Lucy. fthe was standing chatting with the owner of a charming tea-roorr. charming because Lucy herself Jimmy, crouching In the stern with every muscle in his body strained toward their goal, glanced aside toward the promontory behind which the Vulture was hidden. In that very moment there was a violent roar from an airplane's motors: a second later, his fists clenched as he watched a big ship heave Itself out of the growth atop the promontory and point its nose Into the sky.

"A good eight-minute start!" groaned Jimmy. Eight minutes! were as good as a day now, where the race had resolved itself Into a thing of split seconds! He couldn't win not now, he told himself over and oer again. He could only keep on trying until it was over fighting to the finish merely because It was not in him to surrender. But unless Roger's plane met with an accident, with Roosevelt Field only a few minutes away, how could be overcome his rival's lead at this stage? He shook his head sternly. It did not matter.

He must keep on on and on, until there was no more to be done and defeat came In spite of him. That was what Natalie would wish the rule by which he had lived. Billy Crane was gliding down, his wheels only a few yards above the earth now. He had found his landing place. Jimmy watched him critically with mute approval of his pupil.

Jimmy first sought the plane which was carrying his rival to victory; but it was already far off, winging its way toward the field. He looked down and gave a little gasp.

The bushes had parted and three men had suddenly appeared, hurrying down the sandy slope of the hill toward the plane that Billy Crane had Just brought to the ground. Jimmy paid no heed to the wild sputter of Graham's engines now, as he raced toward the beach. The men were members of Rogers's rough-looking crew and their purpose was only too apparent. Two of them had long, wicked boathooks. They were laughing and had broken into a run now.

They were going to wreck Billy's land-plane and spike the last of Jimmy Brandon's guns! They might be called to account for It, but that would avail little; that flashed through Jimmy mind, too, as the speedboat neared the shore. Rogers would deny knowledge of them; they were a mongrel crew, anyhow. In all probability picked for Just this type of work, and secretly his wealth would set them free from any consequences.
