ing any fuss about It. He Is method
ical almost to the point OF aggravation,
and is so deliberate that 1t must make
the turbulent soul of Mark Hanna
heave with indignation.
The major is up every morning at 6
o'clock, and the first act OF the day Ia
TO visit Mrs, McKinleys room to see
how she spent the night. Very often
they breakfast together in her room,
when she Is TOO exhausted to undergo
the trial OF dressing and being wheeled
to the dining room. The majors mail
has grown to terrific proportions
within the past few weeks. Much OF II
comes to the house and more OF il Is
delivered at his office. AT the early
morning meal Mrs. Mckinley opens
some OF the letters and reads them.
She Is vastly interested In the work
that is now going on and has a first
class knowledge OF politics. She knows
all Of the majors hopes and fears, and
when the news comes OF some new
convention delegation being instructed
for her husband she shows her pleas
ure much more openly than he does
He accepts good news and bad with the
calm stolidity of a rock II may be
that like Napoleon he believes himself
to be man of destiny, on whom little
things can have no effect.
Mckinley does all OF his home writ
ing in the library. an apartment so
humble in its appointments to barely
deserve such designation. The only
thing Of note in this room Is large
painting OF Mrs, Mckinley, which
hangs Immediately above the majors
desk. Whenever he looks up his eyes
must rest upon the sweet face of his
wife.
Literally estimated, Canton has
population of 10000, and all OF the
men and women OF native power in the
place call regularly at the Mckinley
house to know how things are going.
Naturally Mckinley knows great
many Of his fellow citizens. and. OF
course, they all know him. He Is one
OF the powers in the Methodist church
a short distance from his home, and of
course the church folk take pecu
interest In his affairs
Mark Hanna has HIS headquarters at
Cleveland, but he make the seventy
mile run down TO Canton couple of
times week to give passing glance
at his own business. affairs and TO talk
about matters which are too sacred to
be discussed even over the private
telephone wire running from the Clevo-
land headquarters to Canton.
These talks always take place In the
Mckinley library or In the more pre-
tentious library in Mark Hanna's
house. AS Mark Is the richest man In
Canton, he naturally has the finest
house. He likes to make show OF his
wealth and his home Is deluged With
appointments of the most costly and
glittering kind He is the exact oppo-
site OF Mckinley In every way. He Ia
aggressive, self-assertlye and has a
laundering high OPINION of the shrewd
ness OF Mark Hanna Yet he and the
major get along charmingly together.
In his palmiest days Matt Quay was
never the equal Of Mark Hanna as a
political fat fryer. and It is the boast
of Marks friends that he has covered
every state In the union with the gilt
tering coin of the realm.

CHAPTER XXXIII
Farewell.

Madeline did not take long in dress
ing. The very thought OF Lancelot
gave her strength and courage. But
Lancelot had time enough to fret and
fume before she appeared He had
acted in a rather imperious manner,
of which he was afterward somewhat
ashamed. He had seen Jenny first of
all and had told her, in decidedly
abrupt manner, that he must see Made
lire; that he must have a private inter-
view with her.
"And ii was so hard to arrange,
Jenny said afterward, in most plain
tive of tones. Mamma was in bed,
OF course, but she wanted to get up
when she heard 1t was Mr.. Vanbrugh,
and Bobby absolutely refused to go out
at first; and then father came in look
ing like thundercloud, but fortunately
he went away and Bobby followed him,
so that there was a nice empty room
for you, Maddy, dear, when You came
in"
Even Jenny discreetly vanished, for
she scented a possible lover for her
darling Madeline from affair; only she
sat on the stairs and cried for the loss
that she felt sure was speedily in store
for her.
Madeline came slowly into the sit
ting-r room. She was very pale, except
for two spots of burning color over her
cheek bones and in her hand she car
ried the jewel case But Lancelot saw
nothing save herself--her sweet, sad
face. her pensive eyes and without
waiting for permission he simply
threw his arms round her and folded
her to his breast.
For a moment Madeline yielded to
the embrace She felt his kisses on
her eyes, her hair her lips and she
gave way to a delicious self-abandon-
ment But for a moment only. Then
she drew herself rasolutely away.
"My darlingi My poor, sweet Made
line! How they have misjudged you!
Don't tear yourself away, dear. You
are not afraid that I should misunder-
stand?"
NO, Lancelot. No, II is sweet TO
hear you say so"
She spoke very gently but kept her
self away from him. He did not al
first attach much importance apparent
ly to this GOODNESS and aloofness. He
attributed 1t to kind Of shyness which
a few warm words of trust and affec-
ton would speedily dissipate
"They carefully got me out OF the
way first" he said. "They knew !
should not stand by and see You sac.
rificed Do you know how they got me
away, Madeline? Constance EsIer said
to me that YOU had a headache and
wanted some particular medicine that
could only be obtained in one partic-
nIar shop In London. Well whether
she did 1t on purpose or not, one can
not be sure-I am inclined to think
she did, but / think | went half over
London before I could discover this
shop. And then the man laughed in

Major William Mckinley shakes
hands at least one hundred times a
day. He says his right arm is more
muscular than it used to be- Mark
Hanna, the happy, the confident the
irrepressible, the interchangeable, the
greatest all-round hustler on the green
earth today, says that before the major
is two months older he will be shaking
hands at the rate of 5000 shakes per
day. Between now and November next
! the gladstone Mark estimates that the
major will have shaken the hands OF
at least 100000 people, and every one
of them voter; babies and children
and ladies not counting.
This is one way of looking at the
great free-for-all G.. o. p nomination
handicap, with the candidates round
ing the curve into the home stretch,
and the Ohio major leading, with
slathers Of daylight between him and
the next man. But this story has moth
ing to do directly with politics. IL
will simply tell what the foremost
candidate OF the republican party does
/ In day
And there are several things TO make
such story interesting. In the first
place the man who stands good
chance OF molding the destiny of TO-
000,0 900 OF people for four years lives in
frame house at Canton. Ohio, for
which he pays $40 Il month rent. He
keeps two servants. One of them
cooks and washes and does other work,
and the other sweeps the house, an
swers the door bell and waits on Mrs.
Mckinley, who Is en- invalid, The
major blacks his own shoes and shayes
himself every morning at Z O'CLOCK.
His wife loves flowers, and In the
rustle-bustle OF getting a grip on the
nomination the major finds time every
morning 10 put on linen dustcr and
an old straw hat and go out in the yard
and attend TO the flowers. Even the
most pretentious people could not dig
Nifty the Mckinley garden BY the high
sounding title OF grounds. The yard
has a frontage Of rs feet and depth
OF 150 feet. The house, with its
porches, is about 40 feet wide, and that
doesn't leave much room on either
side.
A quarter of a century ago, when Mr..
and Mrs. Mckinley were married, they
came to live in This house. Several
times they left II TO go to Washington,
or Ohios capital, but they always
came back to this two-story frame
house. Every one of its twelve rooms
Is endeared to Mrs. Mckinley Here
her two children we're born, and when
, they died the mother was left shattered
in heath Some people have wondered
at the somber aspect OF Mckinley. The
| tender-hearted man rendered rhildless,
\ the loving husband who has seen mis-
\ rosy girl wife fade away into an invalid
woman tell their own story.
/ Mckinley does not seem nowadays To
be the man rolling high on the wave Of
! political excitement. He Is always
calm and deliberate. He seems never
\ to be In haste He does nothing In a
hurry. He walks slowly, speaks softly
and has the eternal look OF man who
has nothing to do. II is simply that
/ he has developed to an abnormal de-
gree the capacity Of getting through an
immense amount Of work without maxi
