Judge Taft's native state Tin; day gave him a slightly more than not nial Republican plurality, but at th same time a Democrat was apparently elected to the position of chief execu live of the state. The two winners are residents of this city, and in Hamilton county they received strong support. The indications are that the plurality for Taft in the state will h ■ from 50,000 to 60,000 thousand, while that for Harmon will be only 5,000 or 6,000. Even these figures, however, may be changed by later returns, although the general fact of Harmon's victory seems settled The Democrats gained in the congressional delegation, securing one < f the Cincinnati congressmen, although Nicholas Longworth (Rep.) won i.i his district. In the Third district a factional fight among the Republicans aided in the election of the Democratic candidate. The Thirteenth and Fifteenth districts remain in doubt. interest on the general result and the slow count delayed knowledge on the general results, altlioug'h it is known that the Democrats have made some gains..

[Copyright, DOS, by American Press Association.] Tlie main incident of this story was given me for a fact. The loss of Sophie Brock's engage ment ring was a mystery. I.ess than a week after Clarence Howes had given It to hej she went to bed one night, with it on her linger, and when she woke up in the morning it was gone. The bedding was searched and shaken; the bed was taken apart, but the ring did not appear. There was no evidence of burglary except that the sash of a window in Sophie's room, which laid been closed when she went to bed. was found in the morning raised. The persons in the house besides the servants were Sophie's father, mother, a younger brother, aged ten, and her cousin, Winifred Loomis, about her own age. Sophie and Winifred were the only persons sleeping on the floor from wlii h the ring had disappeared. W'ini <-d \>as iin orphan and had been taken for charity. She was studying to become a teacher. There was no possible explanation of tlie ring's loss except Winifred had taken it otT her cousin's linger while the latter slept. But tlds did not account for tin* open window. Besides, Winifred was regarded by all who knew her as an upright, conscientious girl. As to the theory of the theft by a servant, it was impossible, for the doors leading from both Sophie’s and Winifred's room were locked and bolt ed, though the two rooms communicated and the door between them was

open.

When Sophie (old her lover of her less she intimated she believed that for some unknown reason Winifred had coveted the ring and had yielded to a temptation to take it off her finger while she slept. Howes remonstrated against throwing suspicion upon any one without proof, especially Winifred, whom all loved and respected. Indeed, so earnestly did he enter upon Winifred's defense that Sophie took ids action for a clew. It suddenly appeared to her that she laid a rival in Wild fred that her rival could not endure to see her wearing a ring on her finger which had been given her by the man she-1 Winifred) loved, and lids was her motive for stealing it. What we fear we are apt to bring to pas Howes was a manly fellow, and the moment suspicion, which he considered unjust, was thrown upon Winifred he became interested in her and in the solution of the mystery by which she suffered. He <niestloned Winifred closely upon every detail, and i >ne day Sophie came upon the two unawares while engaged In nn animated conversation. Sophie’s glance at tlie couple caused both to blush. She passed on without a word, and the result of the encounter was a new complication. Sophie was now sure of her explanation of the mystery and was doubly sure that Winifred had captured her lover. Of all social conditions the most exasperating is one involving tilings known and not spoken. Howes knew that lie was suspected of being on terms with Winifred that were not acceptable lo bis fiancee. Winifred knew this and that she was suspected of having stolen the ring. Sophie knew that lintli the others were aware of these tilings, and yet all this kuowl edge was ignored between tlie trio. On the surface Howes and Sophie were lovers; under the surface Howes and Winifred were List being drawn together by an Irresistible power, sympathy in one, gratitude in the other. Howes received a brief note from Sophie breaking her engagement with out giving any reason. M drew colot to ids cheek and a liasli to bis eye. He replied, accepting tlie situation with out comment. Winifred remained a member of Hie Brock household. Why shouldn’t she? No one had openly accused her No one treated her any differ' inly than before the mystery. Nevertheless she lived a wretched life, counting the days till she should be equipped to earn her own living. One night be awoke suddenly from sleep. The ftt'l moon was shining Into tlie room, and by its light she saw her cousin in her room standing before a mirror combing her hair. Winifred asked her what in the world she was doing that for. There was no reply, and in another moment Sophie passed into her own room. There she threw up a window and leaned over tlie sill, looking out. Winifred, realizing that she had to deal with a sleepwalker and not daring to leave her at tlie window, led her to her bed. Sophie lay down without awakening, and Winl fred watched beside her. While Winifred lay awake she thought. The loss of the ring must be in some way connected with tills somnambulism. Might not her cousin have dropped the ring in the room or out the window? The next morning she revealed what she had seen. Sophie, regarding Hie story as made up to exonerate Winifred, received it with si lent K.airn. Winifred searched her cousin's room when Sophie was absent and found i ' Howes searched the grounds. ! I o without success. This was in midsummer. One day in October Hie gardener was pulling up some withered vegetable stalks in the kitchen garden in tlie rear yard and found the missing ring. It recalled to him tlci! one night while standing at bis doer lie bad seen some one throw somethin- from a window of Sophie’s room. Sophie had thrown the ring from her window while asleep. The explanation eniiie too late to ef feet a reconciliation between Sophie Brock and Clarence Howes. He mar rlisl Winifred Loomis. LOUISE C. FARRELL.
