Dora's home, and good.ratured, easy-go-

it the basest treachery for any member
of his family to inform his next door

playing truant.
After three years at college Jack was
hopelessly behind in his studies, and his
father, still ignorant of the reason, called
him a b%lockhead. One day Jack received
a tender, loving letter from Dora asking
him to come home at once. as her father

The family would sail for England imme-

receiving the letter Jack stood in front

TIME night before Thanksgiving the
city was ablazc with lights. The
L FIRST snow had fallen and the air
itself seemed light hearted. The massive
mansions that surround Gramercy Park
were brightly lighted.
In mutlled silence a young man cloak
less and gloveless hurried by the iron
bars that ferce in the little acre of the
rich toward his lodging place.
For five years Jack Fleming had lived
alone. No one knew very much about
him, oNcent that he was n thriftless. in
dolent genius. When his father died the
fortune that might have gone to him had
endowed certain wealthy charitable in
situations. His mother had died in his
infancy. and Jack Flemiac had grown up
with the servants and his books for coin
panions. He had never seen enough Of
his father to love him. In his childhood
JACK had had one friend. Dora GnlGth-

years his junior, who l!vcd In the house

Of her protector nnd playmate, for even

and Dora soon learned TO love Shakespeare
and Milton as read aloud by her hero.

Republicans Insist That They Will Show In

Democrats GIVE No Figures, bat Say

tory Condition.

Correspondeace Of The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October Z, 1893.
The managers of the two great parties In
this state are worried over the great num-
bsr Of doubtful voters shown on both sides
by the polls 30 far made. Neither seems to
have the advantage IN this matter. Each
party seems to have about 10 per cent OF
its vote in this undesirable position. The
managers have the fairly well-ground.d
fear that when q voter tells the polling OFF,
Ger to mark him down as doubtful 1t
means that he is intending to vote the
ticket Of the other party in tho coming
election.
What Secretary Matthews Says.
The Star correspondent asked Secretary
Matthews Of the republican state executive
committee what he had to say in reply to
the report sent out from this state by Mr..
Henry George after making tour of the
state. to the effect that ''the western re-
serve" the old-time stronghold Of the re-
publicans In this state. was going to give a
plurality to Bryan this year. He replied
that there was not a word of truth in it.
Those fellows up there" said he. get
mad when we ask them about 1t. Our
county chairmen in that district assure US
that the western reserve will give an in
creased republican vote this year. have
no reason to doubt that statement. The re-
publicans are thoroughly aroused there.
The democrats have made the old mistake
of waging hot fight there. and the usual
result has come. I never saw 1t fail that
when you go into the enemy's stronghold
you only arouse his soldiers to vigorous ac-
tton. Whenever the republicans have gone
Into Holmes and Butler counties, the
strongholds Of the democrats In Ohio. they
have never failed to turn up increased
democratic pluralities. Boldness Is not al
Secretary Matthews WAS asked for the
result Of the committees last poll of the
state, and he replied that IT was by no
means complete but 80 far as 1t had been,
1t brought nothing to the headquarters
that would discourage the committee. I'VE

dition In other parts of the state we will
increase our plurality Of last year. Here
Is Scioto county. in which the democrats,
under the leadership of ex-Secretary Of
State James w. Newman, are making q
stronger fight than in any other county in
the state. except possibly this one. and 1t

Employers and Employees.
1t Is quite evident that the democrats
| cannot carry any river county from Wheel
ing to Cincinnati. except Monroe and
Brown. They are all what would be called
2o.OOO population. This seems to support
the conclusion that the republican state
committee has come to, that the republica n
farmers will be found in line with their
party this year. and the trouble. il there is
any, Will be with the laboring men of the
snops OF the large cities and the raiIways.
