, his eyes became accustomed to the
shadow he SAW Donald S face under the
low drawn hat. 1t was almost unfa-

thought you'd gone to the lightship to

though next week would have dono for

Donald drew back into the path, the
light of tho street lamp upon him. He
seemed to age. He lifted his hands and
let them fall heavily.
"No, didn't. l meant to 90. /
well, you see how it's been with me, :"
he said bluntly.

CHAPTER XII.

David loitered over his after dinner
coffee. Though expected at tho office, q
disinclination to enter the world Of
prose and machinery mastered him. He
was in a relaxed and fanciful mood. He
sat by the club window, conscious Of
the shadows fitting under the lamps.
listening to the street sounds. He talk
ed with those about him on social hap
penings and politics, but always, no
matter what was said, felt fine disre-
gard Of it all, because the glamour Of the
afternoon was with him still and his
deeper thought was Of that alone.
''I'd love to hear Anne sing ballad
tonight" he thought, as he went down
the steps, cigar between his lips. II
wonder If she's at home. She can't be
off with Donald anywhere, for he WASN'T
in town today. I'll see If she's in, at
any rate. The walk down the lower
part Of the avenue and across Washing
ton square will be glorious on q night
like this"
David was in q mood when q man is
his own historian and reads the facts Of
life with pleasure or sense Of failure
according to the truth in that intimate,
unpublished record. He saw none Of the
passersby, was only half conscious Of
the frost and the gaslit streeta He was
regarding his years from boyhood and
measuring the completeness Of his pres.
emit by his use Of opportunities.
It was comfortable reverie. He had
nothing to regret. The death Of his IA
ther had been his only grief, soon lived
down in the fullhess Of ambition and
independent wealth. No shadow lurked
in his past. He had experimental with
"the world, the flesh and the DEVIL"
but had formed no ignoble ties. He had
splendid health, invincible will, limit
less desire for success in whatever he
touched, clean years behind him, q
shadowless future. Suppose he mar.
ried? A picture rose before him as in
viting in its way as the others of the
group Why not? A woman, gentle,
beautiful, sympathetic, rejecting him,
sharing his life, children in his home,
their future to be laid and finished
when his own life was practically over.
His heart glowed; q spirit singing of
triumph went with him.
Very goon-for he walked quickly
he had crossed the almost empty square
to the street where Anne lived. Her
sympathy meant much to him, since he
wished urgently for her tonight, as if
she would divine the power Of the new
dream Possessing him and all his secret
thoughts. lie might lead her on to talk
to him ABOUT Olga.
AS he went toward the house his eyes
were fastened on her windows. He was
not aware that a man had come down
the garden path and. having opened

pointment on the Philippine Commission.
Snch were the public aspects Of four
important acts Of appointment by the
two executives in the United States who
command the largest share of national
atten tion. The political bearing of these
acts - equally important and striking.
Both Gov. Roosevelt and President Nc
Kinley have helped themselves and their
party immensely by filling great public
places upon the principle OF Get the
best. IL elections were coming on, and
the Governor and the President were can
difates for another term OF their rsspec-
tive offices, the strongest argument which
the Republicans could make In their be.

performed In regard to the chief positions
In the civil and military service OF the
state. Tho only hopeful appeal which
Mr.. Mckinley could make to the indie
pendent voter with regard to the wide
range OF new and important positions
which must be filled In "our new possess
ions" would be the claim Of his partisans
that be might be trusted TO live up to the
standard of his selections for the Philip
pine Commission.
Good appointments pay-that Is the
moral of recent selections at Albany and
at Washington. The ambitious politician
can make ro stronger bid for public favor
than to act upon this rule. The truth o
II has been proved so often that the only
worder is that few of our public men
learn the lesson.

out Of Republican voters we think, that
WINS ever seen In Portland. In some Of
the wards the vote did not fall much

a large representation Of the most sub
