The storm had broken, he said, with
sudden fury. The rain dashed in
torrents against his western front, and
threatened to beat in the windows. He
called to two men who happened TO be
seated at table to assist him, and was
busy trying to get up the shutters,
when Lieut.. Doyle joined them and
rendered timely aid. He had frequently
seen Doyle during the previous month.
Mrs. Doyle lived in the old Lemaitre
house in The block below, and he often
supplied them with whisky. They
drank nothing but whisky. AS they
ran in the side door they were surprised
to see the lights of a carriage standing

St-i
ize and at the proper time, assemble

idates and platforms of other parti 5,
and commend such as are good and
condemn such as are bad, itself non =
mating candidates ana makir nlaf-
forms where meme good are found
and only to supply fatal defects.
Such an organization under Goo S
providence will, | believe, be abso-
lutely resistless for good. The plan
has worked with such success again st
the people that | wish to see it work
ed for them. 1t is a wet blanket to
some of those who are seeking office
IN the reform and a cold bath to
some of those seeking office by oppo-
sltion to it, but will be a God send
to the people and free us from one
OF the meanest and bitterest cam
palgns ever waged IN the State. Shall
we take the children's bread and
cast it unto dogs!' exclaims one of
the faithful who says he has borne
the heat and burden of the dav. |
answer that it is better to save the
reform with some Eleventh hour SER
wants" filing all the offices than to
lose the reform but save few Off
ces for the most faithful. The real
mother of the child before King Sol
ONION preferred that the false mother
should have it rather than that the
child should be destroyed. This act
OF real ELECTION saved the child.
Similar acts of ELECTION and self-sac-
rltice on the part of those who really
deserve the offices will, | believe, save
the reform and suggest to all the
world a cure for partisanry which =
a far greater evil than anv which
either party even sought to remedy.
The money power could not rule
America if it were not for the blind
wicked partyism of her people.
Shame upon US as a people that
our divisions aud party strife and
our hunger for spoils and offices have
enabled few corrupt millionaire to
tie us hand and foot and rule us
with rod of iron.

wine, demanded to be introduced, and
would take no denial, and Invited Mr..
Doyle to join them, and ordered more
wine. And then Bonelli saw that
Lascelles himself was excited by drink
the first time he had ever noticed it
in the year he had known him. The
third gentleman he had never seen he
fore, and could only say he was dark
and sallow and did not talk, except to
urge the driver to make haste,-they
must go on; but he spoke in low
tone with Mr.. Lascellcs as they went to
the room, and presently the rain
seemed to let up a little, though it
blew hard, and the driver went out
and booked around and then returned
to theprivate room where the gentle
men were having their wine, and there
was some angry talk, and he came out
In few minutes, very mad; said he
wouldn't be hired to drive that party
that matter; that no carriage could go
down the levee; and then he got out
his team and drove back to town; and
then Bonelli could hear sounds of al
tercation in the room, and Mr.. Doyle's
voice, very angry, and the strange gen.
tleman came out, and one of the men
who'd been waiting said he had cab,
if that would answer, and he'd fetch it
right off, and by the time he got back
it was raining hard again, and he took
his cab in under the shed where the
carriage had been, and couple of sol
diers from the barracks then came in,
wet and cold, and begged for drink,
and Bonelli knew one of them, called
Dawson, and trusted him, as he often
had done before. When Dawson heard
Lieut. Doyle's drunken voice he said
there'd be trouble getting him home,
and he'd better fetch Mrs. Doyle, and
while he was gone Lascelles came out,
excited, and threw down a twenty
dollar bill and ordered more Krug and
some brandy, and there was still loud
talk, and when Bonelli carried in the
bottles noyle was sitting back in a
chair, held down by the other officer,
who was laughing at him, but, never
theless, had a knife in hand-a long,
sharp, two-edged knife-and Doyle
was calling him names, and was very
drunk, and soon after they all went
out into the rear court. and Doyle made
more noise. and the cab drove away
around the corner, going down the
levee through the pouring rain, one
man on the box with the driver. That
was the last he saw. Then Mrs. DOYLE
came in mad, and demanded her hus-
band, and they found him Keeling
about the dark court, swearing and
muttering, and Dawson and she took
him off between them. This must
have been before eleven o'clock; and
that was absolutely all he knew.
Then Mr.. Allerton had told his story
again, without throwing the faintest
light on the proceedings. and the hack
driver was found, and frankly and
fully told his: that Lascelles and an
other gentleman hired him about eight
o'clock to drive them down to the for
mer's place, which they said was sever
a. squares above the barracks. He
said that ne would have to charge
them eight dollars such a night any

1t is told of Hannah More that she

she was told anything derogatory to

or begged that nc notice might be

good lady was inexorable; off she
