CHAPTER v.

"Wel. said Isabel, eagerly, what does
Mr. Hardyn,in say: Does he think he can
cure Tommies'
Moody answered little coldly and stiffiy.
His dark, deeply set eyes rested on Isabel
with an uneasy look.
ssMr. Hardyman seems to understand ami
mals.n he said He lifted the dogs eyelid
and looked at his eye, and then he told us the
bath was useless"
"Go on,n said Isabel, impatiently. "He
did something, l suppose, besides telling you
that the bath was useless"
HE took knife out of his pocket, with
lancet in it"
Isabel clasped her hands with faint cry
of horror ''Oh, Mr.. Moody, did he hurt
Tommie!n
Hurt himg' Moody repeated, indignant at
the interest which she felt in the animal and
the indifference which she exhibited towards
the man las represented by HIMSELF. Hurt
him, indeed! Mr.. Hardyman bled the
BRUTE
''Brute?" Isabel reiterated with flashing
eyes, II know some people, Mr.. Moody,
who really deserve to be called by that horrid
word Ii you can't say 'Tommie,' when you
speak of him in my presence, be so good as to
say the dog"
Moody yielded with the worst possible
grace. "Oh, very welll Mr.. Hardyman
bled the dog, and brought him to his senses
directly. am charged to tell you" He
stopped as if the message which he was in
structed to deliver was in the last degree
distasteful to him.
'Well, what were you charged to tell me?'
~ was to say that Mr. Hardyman will
give you instructions how to treat the dog
for the future"

Isabel looked down at the floor, and fol-
lowed the lines in the pattern of the carpet
with the end of her smart little shoe. She
could hardly have been farther away from
really understanding Moody if he had spoken
in Hebrew. She was partly startled, partly
puzzled, by the strong emotions which she
had unconsciously called into being ''Oh

His voice trembled as he appealed to her in
those simple words. He had taken the right
way at last to produce an impression on her.
She really felt for him. All that was true
and tender in her nature began to rise in her
and take his part. Unhappily, he felt too
deeply and too strongly to be patient, and to
give her time. He completely misinterpreted
her silence-completely mistook the motive
that made her turn aside for moment to
gather composure enough to speak to him.
.'Ahl" he burst out, bitterly, turning away
op his side. you have nc heart"
Isabels face flushed deeply; the defensive
pride of her sex was up in arms in an in
slant. She cast one disdainful look at Moody,
without troubling herself to express her con-
tempt in words. "Stand out of my way,

self-restraint. Suppressed rage

GOVERNOR sEYMoURs HOME.

This homestead is on the range OF the
Deerfield hills and has been the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Seymour for many years Upon one
of them is the old-fashioned cottage which
was their residence. From the porch in front
can be seen the beautiful Mohawk valley for
fifteen miles. 1t is in most picturesque
and commanding spot A lovely emerald
lawn stretches in front. The occupants of
the old-fashioned cottage had the admirable
taste not to tear it down and rebuild it In
the stvle of some of the meaningless mon-
strosities fashionable in our time.
When one thinks of this lovely home, with
everything in and about it to make life de-
sirable and happy, one is not surprised at
Mr.. Seymour's fixed resolution never to
leave it again for political office He chose
certainly the more comfortable part An
other thought comes to mind in this connec-
tion too 1t will be remembered that in 1876.
when Hon Samuel J. Tilden was the DEM
ocratic standard bearer, there were misgiv-
ings as to whether, if elected, he would live
his term out He seemed even then to some
good Judges to be such feeble old man that
it was almost folly to nominate him for
president. Well, Mcclellan is dead, Han
cock is dead, and now Horatio Seymour, all
presidential candidates of their party. MIR.
Tilden yet lives, 72 years old the very day
Gen. Hancock died. His health is as good
as it has been for years, and his mind IS
lively enough to write a national letter
about our coast defenses that echoes round
the world" Fate makes strange play things

ROSCOE CoNKLINa's RESIDENCE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour came into the city
of Utica to spend the winter. Mrs. Roscoe
Conkling was Mr.. Seymours sister: They
lived in her house, and it was here che ex-
governor died. Mrs. Seymour was very ILL.,
and she it was who was expected not long
to survive. The ex-governor's death was
not looked for. The shock of his death will
probably be too much for his suffering wife.
They have been married over fifty years.
Although Mr.. Seymour figured so promi-
nently in the politics of his party for so
many years, yet it is to be remembered that
he never held a national office. He was
never even in congress- His political career
was confined to his own state of New York
The most prominent part of his official
career is connected with the famous draft
riots in New York city when he was gov
ernor. This subject was not pleasant one
to Mr.. Seymour to talk of. He was re-
garded during the war as in favor of a
peaceful dismemberment of the Union But
in his inaugural address in 1868 he said:
Under no circumstances can the division
Of she Union be conceded" SARAP KING

name had nothing in it. Only sIsabel Mil
ler!'
Had she any pretensions to distinction in
virtue OF her personal appearance!
1t Is not easy to answer the question. The
women Diet us put the worst judges first had
long since discovered that she wanted that
indispensable elegance of figure which is de-
rived from slimness of waist and length of
limb The men who were better acquainted
with the subject looked at her figure from
their point of view, and finding it essentially
embraceable asked for nothing more. 1t
might have been her bright complexion, or it
might have been the bold lustre of her eyes
las the women considered it, that dazzled the
lords of creation generally, and made them
all alike incompetent to discover her faults.
Still, she had compensating attractions which
no severity of criticism could dispute Her
smile, beginning at the lips, flowed brightly
and instantly over her whole face. A deli
cious atmosphere of health freshness and
good humor seemed to radiate from her
wherever she went and whatever she did
For the rest, her brown hair grew low over
her broad, white forehead, and was topped
by neat little lace cap with ribbons of
violet color. A plain collar and plain cuffs
encircled her smooth, round neck and her
plump, dimpled hands. Her merino dress,
covering but not hiding the charming outline
of her bosom, m atched the color of her cap
ribbons, and was frightened by a white mus
lin apron coquettishly trimmed about the
pockets, gift from Lady Lydiard Blushfng

On this subject he said 'When'I see tot

l am always reminded of Holbein's picture

said of me that l took part in such cotll-

Horatio Seymour was born at the hamlet
of Pompey, Onondaga county, New York, in
May, 1910. 1t has been said that he was
born and reared in the ''days of vital piety,
sound democracy and pure liquor"
Seymour served on the staff of Governor
William L. Marcy. That was his first office.
He was elected to the New York legislature,
as Democrat in 1912, mayor OF Utica In
1S43 and to the legislature again in 1914,
being speaker Of the house; Governor OF New
York in 1850 and again in 1863 He died

UTICA, Feb 16.-There is something
strange in the death within four months of
three defeated Democratic candidates for
the presidency-McClellan, Hancock and
Horatio Seymour. Mr.. Seymour was chair
man of the convention that nominated Nc
Clellan in 1864 Again, in 1868, he was
chairman of the convention to nominate an
other Democratic presidential candidate.
There, in spite of his protests, amid tumult
which persistently drowned all his efforts to
make himself heard SO that he might de-
cline, he himself was nominated. 1t is the
only instance in our history in which the
chief officer of presidential convention
himself received the nomination.
Of late years not much has been heard OF
this venerable and distinguished man. At
ter his defeat in 1868, although not at all an
old man, being only So, he made up his
mind fixedy that he would never be can
didate for political Office again. He might
have been senator, and governor also of

delivered the Grafton at the dedication of the
Washington monument, and it certainly had
an old time ring about it. Senator Daniel
served three years in the Confederate army,
rising to the rank of major. He was
wounded at Manassas and again at the
battle of the Wilderness. He walks lame
and with the assistance of stout cane
usually, though, it is said, that in stumping
his state he always resorts to two crutches.
On these occasions he can rouse an audience
to greater enthusiasm than any other orator
in Virginia and his opponents claim it is the
crutches that speak. Be this as it may,
Senator Daniel presents a fine appearance;
he suggests Edwin Booth somewhat and is
said to possess the face of an ideal Hamlet
The senate can readily accommodate at least
one orator, and it remains to be seen
whether Senator Daniel will occupy the
place his friends have claimed for lim.
