In speaking about a wound received in

senator-elect Gordon not long ago told a
curious story which illustrates feature of
his character which will come into play dur
ing his senatorial career It is the fact
that Gordon never loses his head, and that
he can think under any circumstances. Said
General Gordon:
"While lay there wounded on the field
nv mind went through q curious process Of
reasoning. I thought had been struck by
q cannon ball, and said to myself, 4 have
been struck in the head with o six-pound
solid shot It has carried away my head. I

skull left on the left side. But my brains
must be gone entirely. Therefore, 1 am

Mrs. westmacott's great meeting for the
enfranchisement of woman had passed over,
and it had been triumphant success. But
| there was one woman at least to whom the
| meeting, and all that was connected, with it
had brought anything but pleasure. Clara
Walker watched with q heavy heart the
friendship and close intimacy which had
sprung up between her father and the
widow. She could not forget that when
| Charles Westmacott had spoken to her one
| night be had alluded to the possibility of
his aunt marrying again. What could that
| And whom? She seemed to see few friends

have alluded to her father. It was q hate

One evening the doctor had been rather
| late at his neighbor'a He used to go into
the Admiral's after dinner, but now he
turned more frequently in the other direc-
tion. When he returned Clara was sitting
alone In the drawing room, reading a maga-
zine. She sprang up as he entered, pushed
forward his chair, and ran to fetch his slip
pers.
"You are looking little pale, DEAR" he
remarked.

"Well done. He is sure to succeed.
Where is Ida?"
''In her room, I think.
s'She was with Charles Westmactt on the
lawn not very long ago. He seems very
fond of her. He IL not very bright, but
think he will make her good husband"
Clara was sure that what she had feared
was indeed about to come to pass, and that
her father was going to ask Mrs. Westma-
colt to be his wife. How would sentative
man like her father stand the constant
strain of such wife, woman who was all
decision, with no softness, and nothing
soothing in her nature2 1t passed as mere
eccentricity when they heard of her stout
drinking. her cigarette smoking, her oc-
casional whiffs at q long clay pipe, and her
horsewhipping of 3 drunken servant. All
