MIR, MARKHAM'S PRIVATE
SECRETARY.
BY ROBERT CROMIE.

rcopyright. 1896. by Bachelor. Johnson and
Bacheller.l
Mr.. Henry Markham, NJ. T., had ac-
cepted an invitation from his political
friend, Sir George Howard, 10 his couh-
try house. AS the visit was more polit-
zeal than private, Mr.. Markham brought
his private and political secretary, John
Warrington. with him. An import tant
measure was before the house, and a
division was expected To take place i'm
medately. Sir George represented
rington knew more about both than
either. Besides, Mr.. Markham was
vicar .ously engaged on work dealing
IN bimetallism. Warrington had IDEAS
on the subject, and Mr. Markham be-
lieved In these so far that he had de-
cided to put his own name to them.
Warrington" he explained TO Sir
George, "is deuced clever fellow. lie
works up my speeches; you see am
very busy, and upon my soul i could
not do them better myself"
This statement was scrupulously
true. Mr.. Markham and his secretary
achieved immediate and merited un-
popularity with Sir George Howard's
household and guests. Markham was
ignorant, ll-bred, and arrogant. The
secretary was man of undoubted
natural gifts-he was highly educated
and had fine literary style-but he
was lacking in the savoir vivre that
makes civilization worth while. n
strong character, he wanted that pre-
else mental adjustment necessary TO
those who make the best of life as il is
and leave the conduct of life as IL ought
TO bc To remote posterity. Warrington s
apparent indifference TO his own and
his chiefs social failure was pure af-
fectation. Jle was miserable and tried
To Disguise his emotion by an overdone
cynicism and preposterous interest

day at Mr.. Markham's book with only
an hour OF in the afternoons for pistol
practice his sole recreation.
Miss Marion Howard, Sir George s
only child and mistress of his house,
was at flIst civil to the private and
political secretary. IL was her duty.
Bimetallism she earnestly believed to
be a bore, though a harmless one, but
when she discovered that the bimetal-
list was also IA socialist she was not sure
that she ought not TO send for tie po-
lice. The secretary's fate was sealed.
Henceforth there must be great
taboo. Warrington was dangerous

| The Bryan rally last Friday was
a success in every particular. The
day was fine and all the Bryanifes
in Benton county. as we'll as large
delegations from Polk, Lane, Linn
and Lincoln counties. were in town.
The parades were well planned and
we'll managed. There were about
600 people in line in the afternoon
procession and probably as larg
a number in the evening. The
night parade with the fireworks,
torches and othe illumination, was
delightful to behold and, reflected
credit upon those having charge
of il.

has become of him?" ''Don't

ing" and he sheriff settled him
self easily i'll chair. The judge
stared; then he shouted, $50 find
him and bring HIM into court"
The lawyers and spectators roared
and the judge 'slniled smole" as
the sheriff limped slowly out. The
judge waited and the sheriff did
not return. The judge grew inn
patient and spoke to the bailiff,
"Mr. Tweedale will you please go
and fin.l the sheriff and his pris-
oner?" There was another long
wait before the defendant was
ushered into court. Such delays
are expensive to taxpayers, for
witness and jury time goes on
just the same, but Linn county
went populist last June and can
evidently afford luxuries.
