upon Dumb Dicks arm and shook it
tiercely.
''save him, Dick! Save him !" she
cried.
No sooner did her hand touch his
arm than he turned to look at her,
and, at the sight OF her pale and
agonized face, his laughter ceased.
Then Dumb Dick responded to her
call; he obediently leaped into the
middle of the road, and awaited the
Onrush of the terrified horse.
Nearer and nearer came the horse,
and Frank swayed more and more in
the cart, till at last he was SO near
that Daisy could see the terror in his
eyes. Then, with a mighty leap,
Dumb Dick sprang to meet him; two
long arms swung upward, there was a
whirl of dust, a wild beating of hoofs,
a sickening crash and ell was still.
Then came q cry.
'Help, Daisy! Quick u

Daisy ran forward and found Frank
bending over the motionless figure Of
Dumb Dick.
"Quick, Daisy! take my hat and
run and fetch some water from the
nearest ditch.
Daisy obeyed, and then, kneeling
in the road, Frank opened Dicks
coat and coarse shirt and thrust in bis
hand. The hunchback's heart had
ceased to heat; but when Frank with.
drew his hand he drew forth white
silk scarf stained with blood. He
quickly replaced it, and then ran tc

the water.

SQUIRE'S STAND
He Always Has and Always Will Advocat
Free Silver

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. Ex-senator
Squire passed through this city home
ward bound from New York and Wash
ington, today. To y Spokane Review
representative, the senator said:
Il have no political plans matured as
yet. In response to a telegram from
friends will stop at Ellensburg and re-
main there for a few days while the con-
ventions are in progress"
Senator Squire's attention was called
to his letter, read before the recent sill
yer demonstration in Seattle.
"The letter voices my honest convic-
tion," he said in reply. '1t was intended
to let the people of the state know ex-
actly where I stand in the coming cam
paign. l endeavored to make it as clear,
explicit and outspoken as possible. In
| taking this position, however, have not
| departed in the slightest degree from the
| principles I have maintained in the past
as my record will clearly show. In the
senate I have always voted and spoken
for the free and independent coinage of
silver. I long and earnestly believed
that the Republican party would give BIZ
metallism to the people. In my judgment
tne national convention at OF. LOUIS
erred in surrendering as it did, to the
money power of this nation and Europe
The plank adopted there could not re-
suit otherwise than in driving out of the
party large and influential element.
But while stand for the free coinage
of silver, in no wise abandon my views
on the tariff am for protection. I be-
leve in system of protection that will
benefit every section af the country
that will apply to our products as well
as to the manufacturers of the east"

or from the outside, and also select
an advisory committee from the out

without dissent German followed them
up with these:
Resolved, That the campaign COM
mittee, when appointed, shall in con-
junction with the chairman of the ma
tional committee. select permanent
headquarters for the national commit
tee"
The members hailed this as a happy
solution of a veXed question and 1t was
adopted with little debate.

rangements he had made for the notifi-
cation meeting tomorrow night, and the
committee adopted a resolution of

HANNA AT WORK.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Chairman Han
ma Of the Republican national commit
tee spent very little time at headquar-
ters. He spent most of his time among
monied men in the leading clubs, enlist
ing business men for service in the COM
ing struggle. After looking through his
mail he took a carriage this forenoon
and drove around to see the big manu-
facturers, merchants and employers of
many men. He is reported as saying
the best way to reach the great armies
of voters and working men is through
those who employ them and to that end
it has been arranged, it is said for en-
ployers to hold meetings in their shops
and factories for the purpose of educat-
ing employees on the curlrent issues. He
has had long distance telephone put
