cies. Mangan knew Raymond would
not keep mis- word, and he knew also
that Raymond would be bold enough to
repudiate the deed if signed then and
there, on the ground that duress had
been used. The keepers would periure
themselves to strengthen their claims
on Raymond. There was no way to
restore Isabel her rights except on evil
dencs acceptable to the supreme court.
Mangan would gain nothing by en-
tering into legal complications now,
but would lose time-aud time was
everything. Three months more and
Raymond would be absolute master

flashed across his mind while the tele-
phone bell was ringing. BE saw he

and put them in his overcoat pocket,
still covering the four. The warden
opened the doors.

your heads"
They marched back.
What are you going to do about this,
Mangan?" asked Raymond

him.

CHAPTER MI.

ISABEL YIELDS To THE sCHEMER.
When Mangan walked out OF the
penitentiary, Raymond, the warden and
the keepers dropped their hands. Ray
mond felt like berating the keepers
soundly. He was not a man to allow
his feelings to interfere With his
schemes. Ii would never do TO sus-
pend the keepers; il would be bad TO
abuse them; it might awaken enmity
even tocriticise them. He was al their
mercy. To his ftuitless endeaY0rs to
confne Mangan until he mad millions
secured he had simply succeeded In
giving three men power over him that
be would have TO cOnciliate for all
time.
Therefore he said nothing concerning
the experience Of the evening, but babe
the warden and keepers good night and
walked down the stoop, much more
detected man than when he entered the
grim portals Of the States stronghold a
few hours before.
Next day hs was fretful. BE feared

uncertain what 70 do. He awaited the
initiative Of Mangan. Days passed and

the question Raymond was puzzling
arout. Raymond was not afraid Of a

mond's face flushed, the demon OF evil
seemed TO posses him, and be shook the
letter In Mangan's face.
"The penitontiary is the place Tor
you. You'll read the result OF this at
the end Of the next three months, and
I'll be more master then than now.
Warden, give me q match.
The warden and keepers were sur
priSed. The warden came from oenlnd
the railing, closed the doors leading TO
the corridors, premonition OF some
thing dreadful making him cautious TO
limit the number Of witnesses. After
this he advanced to Raymond, handing
him 3 box OF matches. Raymond ht
one, applied it 80 one cad Of the letter,
which be held until it burned close TO
his fingers, and then, pressing the char
red corner between his forehnger and
thumb, threw it into MAngsn's face.
Mangan stepped backward. The
keeps understood his action to DO that
OF fear. That be was subdued they did
not doubt, and their arms went BACK
with his movements mechanically. Sud
denly they felt his muscles swell with
the tide Of temper. his arms twisted, in
a second be had hold Of each man, In
another he had knocked both their
heads together, and quick as q ball from
q catapult he had sent them rushing
against Raymond, and the three fell In
a heap.
The warden stood aghast. Ere be
had time to recover his senses and be-
fore Raymond aBd the keepers could
scramble to their feet, ManRan was be-
hind the rail and had in his hands big
revolver that had hung upon the wall.
The hands Of all went up. He walked
to the telephone, keeping his enemies
under cover, rang up central, asked for
the Office Of the BUgle, and hung up
the receiver to walt the tintinnabula-
lions of tue connected currents.
Raymond was the first TO regain his
composure.
what are you going to dO?" he
asked.
Bring up the editor of the Bugle
and his legal adviser. I'll stay in here
after that until am released on writ
Of habeas corpus, and the proceedings
will proclaim your villainy."
"Mangan, I'll compromise. I'll sign
Quit claim 10 the Leland estate If you
do not ruin me-"
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.!
The connection was made. The
Buqle Office was as near to Mangan as
Raymond was. Newspaper men make

lean Freedom
The Democracy OF the Fourth con-
gresslonal district Of the state of Min
nesota renewS its allegiance tosthe prin-
cipals of free government upon which
American institutions are based, and
which find their most complete exposi-
tion in the teachings of Thomas Jeffer-
son.
We favor equal and exact justice to
all men, of whatever state, religious or
political: peace, commerce and honest
friendship with all nations, entangIing
alliances with none; the support of the
state governments in all their rights. as
the most competent admins trations for
our domestic concerns, and the surest
bulwark against anti-republican tend
encies; the preservation Of the general
government in it's whole constitutional
vigor, as the sheet-anchor OF our peace
at home and safety abroad; a jealous
care of the right of election by
the people; the supremacy of the
civil over the military authority:
economy in the public expense, that
labor may be lightly burdened; the hon.
est payment of our debts and sacred
preservation of the public faith; the
diffusion of information, and arraign.
ment of all abuses at the bar of public
reason; freedom of religion; freedom of
the press, and freedom of person under
the protection of the habeas corpus;
and trial by juFies impartially select
ed.' To the maintenance of these
principles do we pledge the candidate
here nominated for representative in
the federal congress.
Seeend-We indorse the national Dem
ocratic platform adopted at Chicago in
the year 1892.
Third-We commend the administra-
lion of that faithful servant of the
people, that brave defender of the
public credit, and that wise and mag.
unanimous Statesman-Grover Cleveland.
AS an example of public virtue and an
adherent of lofty political principle. he
worthily bears the insignia of Demo
critic leadership borne in past time by
his illustrious predecessors, Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew jackson.
Fourth-The power of taxation can
be rightfully exercised only for public
purposes. To employ that power to
confer private subsidy is to violate
the essential principles of the federal
and state governments. We denounee
the existing tariff upon imports as
a colossal fabric of unjust faverit-
ism. 1t leyies contributions upon
all the products of toll to create enor-
nous incomes for the capital invested i'm
manufactures. 1t robs the iaborer of
his earnings by increasing the cost OF
all manufactured articles. and does this
under the false pretense of adding to
the rate of wages. 1t gives the capital
list monopoly of the home market tor
his wares, and subjects the wage
Garner to the unchecked competition
arising from free trade in labor.
This system of high taxation has i'm
