coming by boat or donkey, in order

Naturally enough. when some time later
one of them visited the AssiuiboiH camp
he spoke highly Of the Blaci-feet and the
pleasant visit be had had with them. He
told of their wealth of their generosity
and of their bravery as evidenced by the
deeds he had heard them recount at the

rushed out and made his way over to his
fathers house. where he told what had

had sworn then to kill their murderer. He
had lately found out that No Coat was the

Harrisburg, Pa, March 1S.-Something
less than a year ago. when Senator Quay,
triumphing over very formidable opposi
tion, had brought about the nomination of
his candidate for the governorship of this
State. a clear-sighted politician, not a
member of the Senator's party or following.
predicted that the success of Stone would
mean the Waterloo of Quay. Those who
are not OF Quay's inclining. and for one
reason or another they are as noisy as
they are numerous, perhaps more SO, re-
calling this prophecy of a few months ago
now declare that what in some respects
is the greatest fight of the Senator's life
viii also be his last that the end OF his
career as an all-powerful party leader is
at hand. and that when Congress meets
again there will be another strange face in
the Senate chamber at Washington.
Quay. true to the habits of a lifetime,
SAYS nothing. He has always been an elo-
quently silent man. never volunteering in
formation that could be tortured into news,
unless there was some definite and de-
sired purpose TO be accomplished by letting
it out To cross-examine him when he is
unwilling TO talk is like grinding a dia-
mond. Nor does he wiring his hands and
lose sleep over what his enemies say about
liar or a hypocrite. Quay is neither.
Moreover he has something of the game
ster in his makeup; has usually been
ready TO stake his all a single cast of
the dice and the imperturbable calm of
the gambler never leaves him. whether he
wins or loses.
Should Quay lose the fight he now has
in hand the public Will take it's leave OF
