CALEB CONOVER. (From pirecding ) yourself. And the queen can do no wrong. I've known you nearly all your life. If it had been possible for you to harbor a mean or dishonest Impulse I'd have been the first person on earth to guess it. Because no one else would have cared as I did. As I do. I don't understand it' at all. And just at first it bowled me over, and a whole rush of disloyal thoughts and doubts came over me. But I know now it's all right, somehow, for It's you." "You mean," exclaimed the girl, wonderingly, "that after what I've told you, you trust me?" "Why, of course." "And you don't even ask me to ex plain?" "If there was anything I had a right to know —that you wanted me to know • —you'd have explained of your own accord." She looked at him long, searching ly. Her face was as inscrutable as the Sphinx's, yet when she spoke It was of a totally different theme. "What are you going to do?" she inquired. "Do?" he repeated, perplexed. "Yes. about the campaign." "There's nothing to do. I am beaten. When the convention meets, in half an hour, Conover will be nom inated. Only my two blocks of dele gates will be left to oppose him, against all that whole —" "Yes; yes, I know that," she inter posed, "but what then?" "That is the end, I suppose. Per haps by the next gubernatorial cam paign—" "The next? This campaign hasn't fairly begun yet. Do you mean to say you are going to sit by with folded hands and accept defeat?" "What else is left?" "Everything is left. You have tried to fight an all-powerful machine, to fight it on Its own ground, along its own lines, yet refusing to use its own weapons or to guard against them. And you have failed. The real fight begins now." "What do you mean?" "I mean you must call on the peo ple at large to hep you. You have aroused them. Already there is so much discontent against Boss rule that Mr. Conover is troubled. You have no right to abandon the Cause now that you've Interested others in it. Put yourself in the people's hands." "You mean to —?" "To declare yourself an independent candidate." " 'Bolt' the Democratic ticket? It—" "It is against custom, but good men have done it. In this battle, as I un derstand it, there is no question of party Issues. It is the people against the Machine. Can't you see?" "Yeß," he replied, after a moment of hesitation, "I see. And you are right. But it means only the court ing of "further defeat. What Conover has already done in muzzling the press and using other crooked tactics, he ■will continue to do. My speeches won't be allowed to circulate. My meetings will be broken up. Mora Conover men will register than can be found on the census list. And on Election Day there will be the usual ballot frauds. All the voting machin ery is in Conover's hands. Even if I ■won I would be counted out at the polls. No —" "Wait! If I can clear the way for you, if I can insure you a fair chance, If I can prevent any frauds and force Mr. Conover to leave the issue honest ly to the people of the Mountain State ■ —if I can do all this, then will you declare yourself an independent can didate, and—?" "But how can you—a girl—do all this?" "I'll explain that to you afterwards. But It won't be in any unfair or un derhand way. You said just now you trusted me. Can't you trust me In this, too?" "You know I can." "And you'll do as I ask?" "Yes." "Good!" "'lt's worth trial. I'll do It." "Then I shall be the first to con gratulate the future Governor." "Anlce!" —the old-time boyish Im petuosity she so well remembered flashing into one of its rare occur rences—"lf I win this fight—lf I am elected Governor —I shall have some thing worth while at last to offer yju. If I come to you the day I am elected —■" "I shall congratulate you only as I would any other friend." His lips tightened as at a blow. For a moment neither spoke. It was Clive ■who broke the silence. "I have said It awkwardly." he be gan. "If It had been less to me I might have found more eloquence, I love you. I think I have always loved you. You know that. A woman always knows. I love you. I loved you In tho old days, when I was too poor to have the right to speak. What little I am— what little I may have achieved ■—ls for you. I have not made much of myself. But that I've made any thing at all is due to you. In every thing I have done, your eyes and your smile have been before me. At heart, I've laid every success at your feet. At heart I've asked your faith and your pardon for each of my failures. And, whether you care or not, It will always be the same. That one dear ambition will spur me onto make the very best of myself. My victories shall be your victories whether yo:i wish It or not. Perhaps that seems to you presumptuous or foolish?" "No." There was no perceptible emotion In the half-whispered word. From it CUve could glean nothing. Presently he went on: "I think whenever you see a man trying "to make tne most of all that is in him, and wearing out his very soul in this breakneck American race tor livelihood, you'll find there is some -woman behind it all. It is for her, not for his own selfish ambition, that he is fighting. Sometimes she crowns his victory. Sometimes he wins only the thorn-crown. But the glory of the work and the winning are hers. Not his. Now you know why I entered this Governorship fight, and why I am willing to keep it up. Oh, sweetheart, I love you so. You must understand, now, why I longed to come to you In my hour of triumph and —" "You would have come too late," she said in that same enigmatic un dertone. "Anice." There was a world of pain in his appeal, yet she disregarded it; and, with face averted, hurried on: "Would you care for—for the love of a girl who made you wait until you could buy her with fame and an in come? Do I care for the love of a man who holds that love so cheaply he must accompany its gift with a Governorship title —?" "And now," she observed, some min utes later, as she strove to rearrange her tumbled crown of rust-colored hair before the tiny patch of office mirror, "and now, if you can be sensi ble for Just a little while, we'll go back to the convention. And I'll ex plain to you about those letters. Tho anonymous ones." "It's all right. I don't have to be told. I—" "But I have to tell you. That's the worst of being a girl." CHAPTER XVI. To Smash the Machine. TIHE crowd had trooped back into the Convention Hall. The Conover machine, hav iSjifiFjpj j n g greased the wheels and oiled the cogs, did not propose to lose any time in running its Juggernaut over the young reformer who had dared io brave an entrenched and ruthless organization. The Committee on Resolutions of fered a perfunctory platform filled with the customary hackneyed phrases, lauding the deeds of Democ racy and denouncing the Republican party. Bourke, temporary chairman, suc ceeded himself as permanent chair man. Then, while the Conover claque hooted joyously and the Standish men sat by in helpless silence, the finish ing stroke was delivered. Two reports were offered from the Committee on Credentials, one of tho minority, signed by the six members from Wills and Matawan, recommend ing the seating of the contesting Standish delegates from the other six counties; the other, signed by the eighteen Conover members of the committee, recommending that th« delegates holding credentials be afc lowed to retain their seats. The majority report was Jammed through, while Shevlin's noble army of brazen-lunged shouters cheered, screeched and blew tin horns. In his den behind the stage Caleb Conover's mouth corners twisted in a grim smile of satisfaction as the babel of noise reached him. From some mysterious source Shevlin had produced a half-dozen bottles of champagne, and there, In the room of the successful candidate, corks were drawn and success was pledged to"the Mountain State's next and greatest Governor," with Caleb's time honored slogan, "To hell with re form!" as a rider. In another room, directly across the stage, a very different scene was in action. Karl Ansel had left his seat In the Wills County delegation, turn ing over the floor leadership of the forlorn hope to Judge Shelp, of Mata wan, and had gone direct to Stan dish's quarters. The room had been empty when he entered, but before he had waited thirty seconds, the door was flung open and Clive hurried in. Ansel looked sharply at him, then in astonished bewilderment. He had expected to find the beaten man de jected, bereft of even his customary strong calm. On the contrary, Stan dish, his face alive with resolve and with some other impulse that baf fled even Ansel's shrewd observation, into the place like a whirlwind. Kicking aside the litter of dusty stage properties and dingy, discovered hang ings that were piled near the door, he made his way to Karl and grasped his hand. "How goes it?" he asked. "I'm aorry to be late. I thought—" "Well, Hoy, It's all up," said Ansel. "Some fool said once that virtue was its own reward, and I guess it just naturally has to be. It never gets any other. In half an hour from now Caleb Conover will be nominated for Governor, and we will be bowing our necks for his collar, and pledging ourselves to support him and his dirty gang. Just as we always have in the past and just as we always will In the future, I presume. We put up a good light and an honest one, but you see where it's landed us. So far as we are concerned, it's all over but the shouting." And the grim old New Englander dropped his hnnd upon the shoulder of the defeated candidate with in awkward gesture that was half a car ess. "You're mistaken," retorted Clive, "the shouting has just begun. Ansel, I have made up my mind. A man owes more to his State than he owes to his party. Political regularity is one thing, and common decency Is another. I marched into this conven tion a free man, with nobody's collar on my neck, and I'm going to march out in the same way." "What?" almost shouted Ansel. "You're not golns to bolt?" ""Yes, I am," answered Standish. "And I'm going to bolt right now be fore the nomination is made." "But man," protested Ansel, "think of it —the Irregularity of it! You'll be branded as a bolter and a renegade, and- a traitor and a lot of other things. Why, man alive, it'll never do." "It will do," responded Standish. "I have it all planned. If we walk out of this convention now, we are going to take some of the delegates with us. I believe that the Independents will Indorse us, and I believe that the Re publicans will Indorse us; If we take this stand. I believe that there are thousands of Democrats who think more of the State than they do of any one man or any one party. They have followed Conover because there was no one else to follow. Yes, I'm going to bolt, and I'm going out there now and tell these people why I do it." "But look here, Standish," remon strated Ansel, "that's mighty near as Irregular as the bolting itself, going out there and making a speech. No candidate's ever supposed to show hia face to the convention until after the nomination is made. You know that, don't you? Then, after the nomina tion he comes out either to accept tt or to promise his support to the win ner. You'll bust the party traditions all to flinders." "Very well," assented Cllve, "if I can smash the Machine, too, it'B all I "This convention has teen a mockery, a farce." ask. I tell you my mind is made up. This convention has been a mockery, a farce. You know how many voters were with us, and you know the deal our delegates got. The time's come in this State to draw up a new Declar ation of Independence. And right now, I'm going to be the man to start the ball rolling." "But, hold on!" began Ansel. Cllire did not hear. Brushing past the lank manager, he walked out of the room and made his way to the front of the platform. Karl, muttering perplexed ly, followed him. As the young candidate's tall figure emerged from the wings, a buzz of wonder went up from the delegates on the floor below, for, as Ansel had said, such an advent at such a time was without precedent. But there was neither hisses from the Conover crowd nor cheers from the corner where the survivors of the Standish hope sat. The delegates were too as tonished to make any demonstration. Straight across the stage Standish strode. Shevlin, hurrying out from Conover's room, made as though to bar his way, but gave place before the other's greater bulk, and fled to tell the Railroader what was afoot. With Ansel still behind him, Stan dish kept on until he reached the table beside which the chairman sat. At his coming Bourke Jumped nerv ously to his feet. "Hey! This ain't regular," he b,e gan, unconsciously copying Ansel's words. "The'nomination's Just goln' to begin, and we —" But he could get no further. Stan dish pushed him aside, ignoring the chairman as completely as If he were one of the battered stage properties. Dropping one hand upon the table, he faced the crowd, his whole being alert with tense nervous force. A low murmur, like a ground swell, ran from row to row of seats, and found its echo in the galleries, where hundreds of the townspeople had packed them selves to hear the nominating speeches and to witness, with varying emotions, the crowning victory of Caleb Con over. (To Be Continued.) Indian Days. Marks of Indian days may be found under many old oak trees In southern California, particularly In the moun tain districts. It is not uncommon to discover a large stone or boulder with one flat side showing a little above the surface of the ground and with a hole as large as a quart saucepan In the center. In such holes the squaws crushed the acorns which were there by ground into meal for food for the red men. Next Thing. The shades of night were falling. Swiftly and gracefully an aeroplane descended, landing as lightly as a feather on the smooth roadway of the boulevard. Forth stepped an elegantly attired man, wearing a mask. Snatching a purse from a richly appareled dame who was passing, he stepped back into the aeroplane and was soaring aloft and disappearing in the distance before It occurred to the astonished victim to let loose a scream.

The intelligence of the fox is often shown by the way he refuses to be headed when he has made up his mind as to the safe course to take. The West Somerset have an excel lent fixture at Kllve, but it has one drawback —the sea is not far off, and foxes naturally often make for the cliffs, a secure refuge. A fox can be easily headed at times, but that is nearly always when to be seen would betray him to his enemies, the hounds and give them an advantage; but when if he makes his point tho advantage is on his side, then nothing will turn him. To return to the West Somerset at Kilve; they found a fox, and the whlp perin, seeing that the fox meant togo to the cliffs If possible, started to head him off. The ground was open, and for half a mile the whipperin and fox were taking parallel lines, the fox clearly meaning to slip by and find a rofuge in the cliffs. The man turned the fox away at last, but in a short time the hounds lost him, and I be lieve he got back after all. Again the master ranged up some of the field to prevent another fox going back Into a certain covert. In vain whips were rattled against saddle flaps; the fox went right through tho watchers and made his point. It is a thing I have often noticed both with Stag or fox, that the quarry seems to distinguish between real and false dangers.-'London Globe. Overweights. The excessive mortality of over weights has been published by life in surance statisticians, and the pheno menon must be considered in football discussions. It is now a proved fact that the men who are barred from the game are the ones who live the longest, and though mere length of life is no criterion of its usefulness, yet it is a fair assumption that the longest lived are the most vigorous and, there fore, the best brain workers. The colleges are then spending the most money on the students who will give the least returns. Every now and then some Ingenious fellow pub lishes statistics showing that students able to take part In sports outlive those too defective to take any part at all, as though that needed numeri cal proof. The new statistics show that the healthy underweights excluded from football are fitter for survival in America than the overweights of the teams. —American Medicine.

"We uiust recognize in Mr. Berry the only conspicuous representative of Mr. Bryan and his policies now before the people of this state. To every pol icy advocated by the Nebraskan he has given loyal alleginnee. But Mr. 1 Bryan has practically ceased to be a figure of national importance, and this is due to the fact that all of his so-j called policies have been defeated and repudiated by the American people. j "As Mr. Bryan has been repudiated, so do 1 believe Pennsylvania will re fuse to give his lieutenant, Mr. Berry, the support he asks. His speeches upon the stump create sincere doubt as to his soundness and safety, and the belief arises that he is not fitted, either by temperament or judgment, to presido over the destinies of this great commonwealth. There is an ab sence of self-poise, of self-rontrol in his speech, and of good temper, which are essential to the great responsibili ties of a chief magistrate. "Wide latitude is permitted in the arena of political discussion, but sure ly Mr. Berry has passed the danger limit, and, as a result, wo find the air filled with confusing explanations of his business relations with a leading Democratic politician, none of which seem to be borne out by the facts, and this is followed by an intemperate de nunciation of the public press with out exception. Ho not only condemns it as destitute of patriotism and vir tue, but proceeds to pass judgment : upon all the newspaper men of the state, and without mercy joyfully con j signs thom to be burned at the stake. I "Such a cruel and barbarous punish ment Is prohibited by the constitu j tion, but this does not seem to matter! to Mr. Berry—apparently he would like to be present at the hoped-for event and play the part of chief torch-bearer at the ceremonies. "These things which an attentive public has learned, together with the| astonishing statement that, because of his discovery of the capitol frauds, he was compelled to have a bodyguard in constant attendance about his per son in order to prevent his assassina tion —something which has hitherto been unknown to any one, with per haps t-he exception of Mr. Berry— strongly indicate that one of such ex citable temperament and susceptible to such beliefs, practices and delusions is not the kind of a man that this state is entitled to have for governor. "Conditions within the state are eminently satisfactory. "What we need in the high office of governor and the other oiflces to be filled in this election is calmness, not impulsiveness, a judgment of men and affairs that is broadened and ripened by experience—a just conception of the powers of government, a keen and sympathetic appreciation of the rights of the citizen, and a comprehensive idea of the manifold interests and ele ments that enter into the complex life of this great commonwealth. Above all, we need a man safe and sure, and the Republican party has risen equal to the demand. "We have named as the candidate for governor a man with a true heart, with a sound brain in a sound body, who has toiled in the workshop and in the mills and is in strong and lasting sympathy with labor; who step by step moved forward and identified himself with the business enterprises of his section, where he has attained a posi tion which commands the undivided respect of those who love honesty and believe in genuine manhood; who ha? represented his district in the con gress of the United States ably and faithfully; whose reputation for integ rity is of the highest, and whose Re publieanism has always been of the right kind; who is in accord an 1 sym pathy with the policies of the Stuart administration, and who has promised the people that when governor he will esteem it a privilege and duty to con duct the state government 'n accord ance with thr>se policies TIROPOSEtt AMENDMENTS TO THE ■*- CONSTITUTION SUBMITTED TO THE CITIZBNS OK THIS COMMON WEALTII KO.'t TIIEIH APPROVAL OR REJECTION, HY THE GENERAL, AS BKMBLY OK THE COMMONWEALTH OK PENNSYLVANIA, AND PUBLISH ED HY ORDER OK THE SECRETARY OK THE COMMONWEALTH, IN PUR SUANCE OK ARTICLE XVIII OK THE CONSTITUTION.
