NO SPEECHES BY STANLEY.
All of His Kansas Dates to BE Can
ccled Because of Twentieth's
ReccptIOn.

TOPEKA, Oct. 12.-tSpeciaD Governor
Stanley will probably not be able to make
any more speeches in Kansas until after
the November election. He is tied up with
the Twentieth Kansas reception and Will
devote almost his entire time to making
il big success.
The governor is billed to make three
speeches in Ohio" said Chairman Albaugh,
of the Republican state committee, to-day,
"and there is absolutely no way for him to
cancel them. But as TO speeches In the
state he will not likely be able to make a
solitary one between this time and the COM
ing election. He wants TO make the re-
ception of the Twentieth Kansas the big
gest affair ever held In the state, and in
order to do so must stay at home and
direct much of the work.
The probable cancellation of all the gov
ernor's speaking dates in the state will no
doubt be disappointment to many COM
munities but under the circumstances they
will probably not make any complaint.

ity to discover; but Robert Luke knew
his way well.
In a few minutes he stood outside

be seen within. He tried the handle,
and found that the door was locked.
Then he crept round to the window.
which was unglazed and had coarse
calico nailed across in lieu OF glass.
After peering about for some minutes.
he detected a speck OF light shining
dimly through an Inner curtain.
Probably there was moth-hole in the
blanket which had been hung inside to
prevent the light from being seen from
without. The keyhole and every chinl;
seemed stopped securely.
How easily he might slit the calico
across with his knife and effect ar
entrance! But then, suppose his sur
misses were to prove wrong what ex-
cuse could he make for thus disturb
ing the woman In the middle of the
night?
Luke's heart beat fast. 1t seemed to
him as II he were on the very brink
of making some discovery, and yet
was to be baked.
He stood still and thought a while
Then 1t occurred to him that he might
knock. pretend he was i'll, and ask for
brandy. The men on the station had
none, he knew. Yes, there could be no
harm in that.
He knocked on the panels of the
door, but no answer came He knocked
again, and spoke.

Still not word came in reply. He
called out again more loudly
Mrs. Baynes-d'ye hear, Mrs. Bay

Growing bolder. he determined to try
the strength of the door.
Placing his shoulder against 1t, he
turned the handle and leaned upon 1t
with his whole weight.
Suddenly the door gave way, and he
was precipitated into the room. Re-
covering himself, it was yet several
seconds before he could distinguish
any objects around him-the sudden
transition from the darkness without
to the glare of lamp had dazzled his
eyes. When he recovered from the
first confusing effects of the light, he
saw sight that sent him staggering
back against the wall and for n mo-
ment deprived him of the power OF
speech. He was bewildered, and could
not find breath to say the words which
were upon his lips.
A sound of horses hoofs approach
ing the hut made him suddenly look
round, and then he knew no more. A
fearful crash upon his skull deprived
him of his senses, and he fell heavily
to the floor.
