ONE MAN'S VERY RECKLESS WAGER How He Was Saved from I'tter Bank roptcy by a Fortnaate Side Bet. Political Paroxysms ia the State of (Sunflowers. From the Chicago Evening Post. Let nn man Imagine the interest In a national convention Is confined to the t itles. When politicians gather from all parts of the icountry to one common center and htat themselves to sultry splendor withthe enthusiasm of politics they becomea magnet too strong: to be disregarded. And whether he will or no, the citizen no matter how. far away thinks convention, eats, drinks, dreams convention, and goes Into a par oxysm of impatience because he cannot quickly enough learn the latest news. Kansas has more politics to the acre than any place on earth outside a Meth odist quadrennial conference, and the national conventions of the Republican party are perfect seasons of fever heat in the sunflower state. Rabid in their partisanship at all times, they are In tense, intolerant, abusive when the chiefs are in convention. And they search madly for news. ' ' That was what saved Dick Williams in 1SS0. If he had lived In a state where the eople could- talk politics within reason, caring no more for It than for their religion or their family ties, he would have suffered severely. Rut In the lava beat of that place and time Dick Williams simply couldn't li ise. !! II' II Of course (li ant was going to be nom inated. Of that no reasonable man could have the shadow of a doubt. He should Inve been nominated four years before, but some people protested against the third term, o he went around the world, and gilded the skies of foreign lauds witli a broad blaze of American glory. He came back in WSU the greutest American the Kreatest man. his admirers claimed and landed in Chicago Just before the national con vention, lb- brought the impetus of a famous tour, the weight of a victorious war, and the prestige of two good presi dential terms. Could mortal delegute withstand such urgumeut? Lo.'ides, he had the united strength of John A. Logun of Illinois, Moscow ('.ml ling of New York and Don CiUn erou of Pennsylvania behind. him; a id im; delegates were pledged to him 'lirst. lust and ull the time." No man hail hair that number. There was an "anythingMo-beut-Cirant" sentiment in the convention, but it could not stand. It had no nucleus candidate on whom to ciystulllze. It was nega tive. The :HIG wus a positive force, a loyal following, an active, working, trained, proselytizing army. And it could not full. !! II II Dick Williams hustled about a good deal, and he managed to Und people who didn't agree with him. He .wttst surprised, but some of them were will ing to bet. Dick drew ull his money out ol' bank ami posted It In the bunds of trusty stakeholders. To his aston ishment he even then didn't have them betted to a standstill. So he bet his biases one by one, and his farm was next in Jeopardy. If he had had wife or children he would have bet (hem. I'sually he wugered that Grant would be named on lirst ballot; but in the case of the land he held out for n better offer, and staked his acres that "the men on horseback" .would be nomi nated, making no limit us to time. That hot June night when the con vtntion really met in Chicago Dick went down to the county seat, and Joined the noisy, Intemperate crowd that had gone to the tele graph office. He "chipped In" and ulded the fund which rec ompensed the operator. He had n. ore at stake than any of them, und li.- wanted to know. Kansas wus a prohibition state even then; but these substantial citizens threw law to the .winds, and either closed their eyes to the evident buttles nn the window ledge or slipped out cautluosly, and us cautiously initiln d. !l II !! The telegraph operator first collected the fund which was to pay him. Then he read the llrst bulletin. It had 30G for (iiant and Dick Williams wanted to cheers. !t had some for Blaine, nnd some for Sherman, and some for Haw ley, and one or Hayes, and three for Windom. Then they sat about for an hour and talked In voices that grew higher and higher as the stock of beer grew lower and lower. And the second ballot was like the first, and the third like the sec ond, and, with some little shuffling of the vote on the unimportant numes, all the ballots of the evening were alike. Dick was surprised at midnight to know the beer was consumed and the con vent Ion wns adjourned till morning:, and Oram was not yet nominated. And through his fevered consciousness burned two things of which he talked till daylight, to all men: "tirant, Sufi; Windom. X" II !! II Next night It was the same thing over. There was a departure from the normal. Kxcitement seized upon the people. Men of the soundest judgment forgot a lifetime habit. Women of gen tlest breeding cut their neighbor wo men dead because there was a difference of political opinion. Ballot after ballot was taken that second afternoon. Crowds went down, to the telegraph office In the evening. Dick Williams refused to learn caution, till Martin, the richest merchant In town, was against Grant, and Williams wanted to catch him. He offered all kinds of bets, but Martin was eluding him. The first ballot was read: "Grunt, .K; Windom, " with the same old varying range between them. They resorted to the brown bottles, and the telegraph operator tapped on his key and held up his hand. ' Here wus" the second ballot. Grant had gained some. Windom still held three. Williams was In a paroxylsm of delight. He was sure to win. An hour--a third ballot was announced. Grant hud lost, but Windom held his three. That last became a Joke. Still another. Grant had gained. Sherman, Kdmunds. Blaine, half a dozen others were more or less. Windom never varied. They reached for the bottles. II II II "Rout time for another, ballot?" called Williams to the operator. That worthy made no sign. - . "I bet Grant gains on the next ' bal lot!" shouted Dick exultantly. . . . "I bet Windom has three!" cried Oil Martin, the rich anti-Grant man. - The politicians laughed. '.'What'll you bet?" demanded 'Will iams. He was minded to make a little losing, for the fun of it, ", "I bet rny store agaln.it your watch and chain."'. -cried Ull Martin, foe' he, too, was lrr mood for the spectacular. . "Ill take you," roared Dick Williams. "That's. lav bet,-Dick." cried Martin. He knew Williams had been laying for him. .s - "You bet it's a bet. Here's a dollar to bind It." The teleprraph man could scarcely get the crowd's attention. "Thirty-fifth ballot," he droned. "Grant. 306" then some about Garfield and Sherman and Blaine and the rest and then silence, Gil Martin, stood as If carved . In stone. "Where's Windom?" he asked, gasp ing. "Not mentioned," said the operator, who didn't care. The end of it was put briefly post poned. Grant fell to the 306, and never below It. But Garfield was named and Dick. Williams had lost. '. What made him forget the Oil Martin winning was his real sentiment of regard, of loyalty for Grant. His soul was bound up in the man. He iwas a hero worshipper. After a -while he remembered it. till Martin said he was "only fooling." But In Kansan. at elsewhere, bets "go." Finally Gil Martin .who was fearfully scared, as ct "sure-thing" man always is, met Dick with a fair proposal. "I'll settle all your. Grant bets If you'll let me off on this." And poor Dick, who had not yet returned so near the normal as to sense the awful con dition in which his betting had placed him. at first refused. But he agreed to It later and calculating Gil Martin settled all the claims and still saved something-. While Dick Williams, res cued from bankruptcy by Windom's fortuitous ill fortune, foreswore spec ulation and never again watched bul letins for reports from a national con vention. AVOCA.

Through the crowded streets returning, ut the ending of the day. Hastened one whom all saluted as he sptd along hi way; In his eye a Kleani of triumph. In his heart u joy sincere, Ami the voice of shouting thousands still resollllillllK In his eur. Passed he iieutll a stately archway to. ward the goal of his desire, rill he saw a woman's figure lolling Idly by the tire. "I have won," he cried exultant : "1 have saved u cause from wreck, Crushed the rival that I dreaded, set my . foot upon his neck! Now at lust the way is open, now at last men call me moat, . I am leader of the leaders' I am master of the Stale!" Languidly she turned to listen with a dec orous pretence, And her cold, imtrli-ian features mirrored forth Indifference: "Men are alwuys scheming, striving for some petty end," suid she. Then a little yawn suppressing, "What is all of this to me'.'" ii Through the shadows -of the evening us lliey quciicilt-u ine suiinn ii. Came the other, furlng homeward with Wistful, peering through the darkness, till ne saw. as on oeiore. Where a woman stood impatient at the threshold of the door. "I have lost." he faltered faintly. "All Is over." w'.lli a groan; Then he paused and guzed expectant at the face beside his own. Two soft eyes were turned upon him with a woman's tenderness. Two white arms were flung about him with a paMslonute caress, And a voice of thrilling music to his mute- Iv uttered nlea Said, "If only you are with me, what Is all the rest to me'.'" III. All night Ion the people's leader sat in silence ami ulone. Dull of eye. with brain unthinking, for his heart was turned to stone; While the hours pussed all unheeded till the hush of night had censed, And the haggard light returning flecked the melancholy east. But the .other, the defeated, laughed a laugh of merriment. And he thrust his cares behind him with an Infinite c-oritent. Recking not of place and power and the smiles of-hose above. For hts darkness was illumined by the radiance of love. Each had grasped the gift of fortune, each had counted up the cost. And the vanquished was the victor, and the winner he that lost.
