THE RISING OF THE WIND.

Amid the empty silence OF the night.
Iheard che western wind arise and creep
with breath.full lips, and football swift and
Among low shrubs, and mid the reeds which
weep
Beside the brook. He touched the tiny waves
Rocking the lilies sleeping in their beds
The flowers knew who called them from the
caves
or winter, bending low their gentle heads.
Then, gathering strength, beneath his feet he
bent
Tho daisy.sheltering ferns, and ran amid
The far.oif leaves which trembled as he went
Splitting the dow-drops In their bosoms hid.
And then he rushed along the forest aisles,
And ev'ry bouRh and ev'ry leaf awoko;
He shouted loudly down the long defiles,
And all the sylvan echoes answering spoke.
Around the gabied house as one in pain
He howled, then ftful laughed In savage
glee;
Bringing wild murmurs from the distant plain
And hollow echoes from the raging sea.
Then with quick hands before the stars he
drew
A shifting vail OF black and ragged clouds;
And hid the Understanding moon from view
In thick-piled phantasy OF ebon shrouds.
Unchecked, untamed, he ragged below, above,
Till the large falling drops OF rapid rain
Stilled tho wild tumult, as the voice Of love
Gains passion into peace and rest again.

CHAPTER XIII.
A POLITICAL DEAF.

Another summer came, and wore away,
very unhappily for Russell. He was
continually pressed by debts and diff
culties, and he had nc friend To whom
he dared confess himself freely, asking
tho advice he needed. Indeed, Russell
had made no friends among his recent
associates, partly because he had drifted
into an eXtravagant and light-headed
set with few attractive men in 1t, but
more because no was too deeply en-
crossed with his own affairs to permit
of q warm interest in others. He con-
tinued to sec Ray frequently, but he was
too much afraid of the old mans irasci-
Bile temper to take advantage of the help
that Ray was in reality always ready to
give.
There were fewer Sundays at the villa
for Russell than in the previous summer,
not because OF any lack Of invitations
but because Russell fancied it easier to
avoid Alice than to he simply friends
with her. To all appearances, however,
there was no interruption of the cordial
ity OF their feeling for each other
In tho early fall, when little chill
creeps into the air, and fires are re-
kindled under tho great stew-pan Of
politics, scheme which Ray and Russell
had formulated during the summer be-
gan to broaden and assume definite
shape.

ence in working this motor right" Ray
had said. "Why don't you so into pol
itics little? 1t would give you a chance
to get acquainted with great many
men who might be useful TO u.s."
Russell had replied that he would just
as lief go into politics as any thing else,
and he had looked about him for an OPP
portunity. 1t was not hard to find. lie
had become member Of tho Pocahontas
Club, an organization having hand

THE WRONG ROAD.

This experience taught Russell eau
ton. but IL can hardly be said TO have
been of any higher sort than the caution
OF cowardice. He simply ran away.
His visits to tho Rays became moro and
more infrcquent. lie gave up the So
ciety for Culture, and bribed Cupid to
seek Oblivion. htell ~
Hismanner OF living became different,
and not better. Ho plunged into ex-
travagance, and though dissipation and
kindred vices had no attractions for
him, and he thus managed TO escape
them, he succeeded in spending great
deal of money, and was soon heavily in
debt. 8Ff Aff Hf
The Manhattan Electro-Motor Com
pany had begun active operations. A
factory had been secured and machines
were being made. The capital stock
had been increased, and Ray was put
ting In his money in way which showed
that ne meant to wage serious COM
mercial warfare. Russell drew good
salary az treasurer and manager of the
company. and 70 his credit IL must be

caught sight OF the little group on the

said "Jingo" and slammed the door be-

About this time Raw turned his atten-

About this time Ray turned his atten-
tion TO the Motor Company's affairs once
more, and It was not long before Russell
began to be afraid that the old hnancier
"smelt mice" lie was moro fright
ened than he had ever been before In
his life, and nearly tainted away when,
one day, Ray proposed to go with him to
the factory and make an inspection.
He succeeded in putting Oft the catastro-
phe for time long enough to give him
an opportunity to consider. Ruin OF the
worst kind stared him in the face. II
he could not deceive Ray the game was
UP. lie thought of dozen plans, and
at last hit upon one which was so sim
pie that 1t looked almost childish, and
yet he believed that 1t would work.
The machines were stored in q rough,
dimly-lighted room at the factory.
There were about dozen of them in
two rows. There should have been
twenty to make the accounts come out
right. Russell secretly visited the fac
tory ahead of Ray, and, on some pre-
tense of showing the machines TO better
advantage, he had some workmen put q
big mirror against the wall behind the
rows OF motors. This wall had no win
dows, for the light was admitted at each
end OF the room. The edges Of the
mirror Russell carefully concealed.
Then he had short and confidential
interview with the engineer. The room
was heated by steam pipes in win
ter. 1t was then May, and q hot day,
too, but Russell got the engineer to
switch tho steam into this room full
head. Then he closed the windows, and
in about an hour the temperature rose
to that of the hot room in Turkish
bath.
Ray came out about five o'clock in
the afternoon. He was in a hurry, and
Russell knew it. Russell showed him
through various parts of the building,
aud at last they climbed the stairs to
the room in which the motors were
stored. 1t was like fiery furnace
when Ray, already putting with his
climb up the steep stairs, put his head
into it.
Great hcavens!" he exclaimed, mop
ping his forehead, "what section OF the
internal regions is this?"
ut is necessary to keep the machines
at high temperature for few days."
Russell explained, with shaking nerves.
"They work the better for it."
Tho room was not very light, but the
machines were plainly visible from a
little raised platform near the stairs.
LET us stop here" said Russell;
"there is more air"
IN have to get out of here" said
Ray; "Pm roasting"
lie ran his eye hastily over the ma
chimes, counting them. The illusion Of
tho mirror from that point was good.
IL make twenty-six," said he.
THANK heaven" said Russell, under
his breath; 1.-The old man has not only
counted the images in the mirror, but
he has seen two of them double"
They descended hastily.
Every thing seems to be going right"
said Ray when he had regained his
breath.
Eyes" replied Russell, with a sigh of
relief. 1--WE have had few narrow es-
capcs out here, but trust our troubles
are over"
At the door, however, he encountered
Dcering. He had never known of the in
ventor's visiting the place before. Hero
was now source of danger. Could it
be possible that Deering, too, was sus-
picious?

pose, but had been treated coldly by
the organization" since that time. He
claimed to have been treated unfairly
by Tammany and had gone to the
counties, and there received equally bad
usage.
"Pve got tired OF working for those
fellows" said Mike, land this fall Pm
going to do q little work for Mike
Rooney. haven't lost my grip on the
Thirtieth Assembly district yet, and you
bet your life on it."
Russell replied that while he never
bet on elections he did not doubt Mr..
Rooney's power. He lived in that dis
trict himself and had had occasion to
observe it.
I'm laboring for an independent
Democratic candidate for the assem-
bly," said Rooney. king would get
denomination and an election if lam
many was left to run things, but he's
weak, and | believe i can down him
with the right man."
Russell vcntured to inquire how he
would do, and to his surprise Rooney
seemed pleased with the suggestion.
Neither of them gave it much thought
at the time, but when politics began to
thrust itself into prominence in the
fall, Rooney took the subject up serious
ly, Ray promised financial backing, AND
1t began to look as IL Russell had
chance of going to the assembly. King
was sure to be the regular Tamrnany
nominee, but Rooney carried good
many votes in his pocket, and he
believed that he could fight his man
through. But there was man named
Cunningham who was making strong
effort to get tho nomination from the
county Democrats and Independents
who were to coalesce. There was prac.
tically no Republican strength in the
district. "t
Cunningham felt so sure of the NOM
ination that he had ordered banquet
to be ready when the affair was over,
and had invited about hundred prom
inent politicians to sit down and re-
joice with him. They had all accepted
without regard to sentiment, for a
Thirtieth district politician never de-
clines any thing. Rooney learned OF
this banquet on the day before the
PRIMARY, anu NC JOlu russell tnat tho
influence Of such munihcence might
affect the result.
IN tell you what we'll do" said
Rooney; "well just borrow that ban.
quet."
Borrow itv' exclaimed Russell;
"how?"
"Well send word to the men he's in
vited that the banquet's to be held be-
fore instead OF after the primary. Make
The time about half-past five. Then
we'll tell the caterer of the changes in
the hour. All these people will come
expecting to meet Cunnin2ham. They'll

march 'em around from there lo the
hall, and those that can't bring around

can't walk. I'll tell you, my boy, xe'vo

Rooney worked his plan 80 cIeverly
that Cunningham's banquet carried the
day for Russell. He secured the nomi-
nation and the campaign opened with
general laugh in his favor.

When two or three members had been
indulging rather too freely, and began
TO rake up each others records. they
furnished any listener With valuable I'M
side information as to successful po'
litical methods.
Russell was popular in'the club and had
won the special favor OF few old fellows
by listening to their stories Of their own
greatness. These were the men who
had retired from conspicuous politics
because the newspapers had treated
them unfairly by publishing the facts
in certain interesting cases. They we're
as much of power as ever, though.
Behind the scenes they gave the orders
and regulated the exits and entrances
Of other men. Mike Rooney, in partic-
ular, had taken great fancy to Rus
sell, and often told him stories OF the
days "when politics were worth some
thing" Rooney was a worshiper OF
old times, but he did not neglect him
