rector followed the direction of his
gaze and were amazed to see the bent
form of the old statesman. He was
smiling, too-smiling that historic,
magnetic smile that had won him
votes for nearly seven decades. The
boys were still singing, but the dog
gerel was stripped of all offense. They
had turned it the other way round:
Stuart rides white horse,
McCreedy rides mule;
Stuart is gentleman,
McCreedy, IS fooll
After the third repetition of this
flattering refrain a rousing cheer was
given for Senator Stuart. He advanced
then to the edge of the piazza, as gra-
ciously as in the old days, when he fac

question"
There was silence in the ranks. Bro

made significant movement with his

voice was dangerously sweet and
smooth. He asts yer, Didn't yer IA

"oh. give them a quarter apiece
said Wainwright, easily. It's a good
lie. Look at the old mans face; it's
made him young again.
Yes, I'm glad they were equal to it,"
said the Rev. Peter. and then, con-
scious that he was disgracfng his cloth
he added: But, dear me, it wasn't

There is little more to tell. The con-
stituents were invited up on the piazza
and regaled with apolinaris lemonade,

After this the Rev. Peter and the two
aids, who appeared in search of their
charges, by dint of threats and coax
ing got the boys to say goodnight and
go home.

At s o'clock the Rev. Peter called,
and Wainwright went to the hall to
see him. His apologies for the conduct
of his boys We're sincere and profuse.
1T was the sight of that gig said
he. The boys meant no discourteSy
to you or to Senator Stuart. 1t seems
it's a custom of the neighborhood
where they live to throw missiles at
the unexpected. It's custom of boys

my own boyhood, once, obeying an
irresistible impulse, and turning the
hose upon a pompous old But
that's neither here nor there. L came
to say how deeply [ regret the unfor-
tunate occurrence.
Wainwright then told the most dis
tressing part of the affair-how the
senator was convinced that his buggy
had nothing to do with it, and that
his afternoons experience was merely
a proof that the hatred and contempt
felt for him during the campaign were
still rife

rector. LAS a matter of fact when /
