Come and ride with Peggy to
church, Sunday" he said almost apol-
ogetically Lawson shook his head.
II don't dare-yet," he said.
The break was more eloquent than
words. Again the parson wrung his
hand. 1t was thick dark now the
moon coming up, and whippoor-wiils
calling all about, but somehow he
hated the thought of going home.
After sleepless night the parson
got up at dawn with white, deter
mined face. Although it was Sunday
he did not wait even for family pray
er, but rode straight to the Cooke
homestead. Lawson was just stir

intent upon seeing how RoXane Jared.

Lawson sprang forward and caught
both the parsons hands, smiling jubi-
lantly, though his eyes were not quite
clear. There was an odd lump in his
throat, too, as he said: Not another
word, parson. l have pretty good
ears for all that goes on i'm race.

son broke in; "but Lawson, at least

of the simple tactics upon which the
Bland managers depended so much four
years ago They admit, however, that
Mr.. Bryan in 1900 has a much stronger
chance of landing the prize than Mr.
Bland had in 1896, although he did not
have this many weeks before the Chi
cago convention of that year.
Mr.. Bryan, engrossed in his farm near
LINCOLN. Neb., viii await the result Of
the Democratic national convention of
this year in much the same spirit as Mr..
Bland four years ago awaited the out
come Of the Chicago convention. With
both ears listening to the deliberations
of the assembled delegates, Mr.. Bryan
will have his eyes fastened on his grow
ing crops, his fancy chickens. and his
specially selected landscape In these
respects he will await the result of the
coming convention as Mr.. Bland await
ed the result of the Chicago convention.
But MIR. Bryan, unlike Mr.. Bland, will
have the assurance in advance that the
convention will do what he wants done
Will omit to do what he wants left I'M
done and will nominate him for presi-
Dent without let or hindrance.
Already a month has elapsed since Mr..
Bryan announced that he would quit
bubliC 9ptdhlIlS ana retire TO his N6DrdS-s
ka surroundings to await the action of
the Kansas City convention. During
that month he has turned farmer almost
completely. He is not a farmer on the
extensive scale that his friend Bland was.
but he IS just as enthusiastic man with
The hoe. as ever Bland was "Silver
Dick mad 100 acres in his Missouri farm
when he sought the presidency, whereas
the Silver Knight has but thirty
acres in his Nebraska homestead. But
he Is every bit as enthusiastic about
farming as was Bland, and his friends
claim for him distinction which Bland
never had. Mr. Bryan invented and
constructed his own chicken COOP while.
as far as historians relate, Bland never
did more than chase chickens into a coop
constructed by some other man without
presidential aspirations
Mr. Bryans friends, ever eager to en-
thuSe over the fancies of their leaders
mind, are repeating with much delight
his story of how he decided upon the
purchase of his present farm. Here it
is:
Il bought the first five acres" Mr..
Bryan says, seven years ago Mrs.
Bryan and 1 had been driving, and we
stopped here to admire the scenery. We
paid $3.50 acre for the first five acres.
We figured ii this way. The scenery is
worth 500 an acre, the climate $780, and
the soil S5o.'

the climate in the first investment. Mr..
Bryan awaited his opportunity to ac-

Ndmira7 DeQveg'S Re2az Carriage.

1t is only royalty and Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey who ride sin daumonts, say the
New York Herald.
The daumont does not belong to the adj
miral, be it noted, for he is a Democrat
and supposed to be, welded to .Jeffersonian
simplicity, but It is the property of his
mother-in-1aw, Mrs. Washington Mclean,
of Washington. The Deweys, however.
often take their aiTings in this beautiful
equipage, and upon these occasions they
are the observed of all observers. At the
time of the celebration in the admiral's
honor at Washington last autumn 1t will
be remembered that he was entertained
at Mrs. McLean's house, and this carriage
was the one in which he rode. 1t occa-
stoned some comment at the time-that
he made his headquarters at the Mclean
mansion-but the cat was soon out of the
bag and the reason why known.
The carriage is drawn by four magnif-
rear leader and near wheeler with the
footmen in high hats and black livery in
the rumble; the positions wear short
black jackets with three rows of buttons
down the front. white knee breeches and
top boots, round black caps and black
gloves 81
There being no driving seat, the carriage
is ideal for pleasure driving, as the view
is unobstructed. Thesrumble is sometimes
dispensed with, but for full dress occa-
sions it must be used The Harvesting is
precisely the same 8 for posting. but the
pole of the carTfag IS usually of iron and
bent down in the5HlQdle So as to be below
the leg of hegWheel horse position, to
avoid bruising ii. When two horses in
stead of four aTezused the equipage is
called a demi-daamont.
This style of carriage was much in
vogue at Newport several years ago, and
may be seen there occasionally now Mrs
James l.. Kernoehan and Mrs August
Belmont have owned daumonts. The name
is taken frora the Due d'Aumont, Il
French leader OF fashion both before and
after the revolution. He had superb sta

happy in the possession thereof, and he
is sharing his satisfaction with his wife
and their three children.
O., Mr.. Bryan'S farm, according to his cal
culatiOns, has cost him just 1880, includ-
ing scenery and climate. He has not
been as lavish in expenditures for i'm
provements as Bland was on his Mis-
souri, farm. Bland spent so much money
in improvements that his friends cor
rectly predicted he would never be able
to get his money back, But Bryan, evil
IDENTIFY keeping closer watch ON his in
vestment, has been less lavish in his eX-
penditures, although he is able to raise
On his farm more than enough vegetables
and butter and eggs to supply his own
table and that Of his caretaker. In
fact, he has garden sass to market,
and in a way has as keen an interest in
the market price of produce as his next
door neighbor
Mr.. Bryan, although keeping in close
touch with the Democratic leaders at
his office and home in Lincoln, makes a
daily trip to his farm After looking over
his kilograms and perusing his morning
mail he drives out to his farm, and spends
several hours a day there. He takes es-
peeial pride in his chicken coop, and ex-
plains its merits to all corners. Mr.. Bry-
an blushingly admits that he is the in
yentor of the plank door through which
his chickens gain admittance and egress.
This plank, placed near the bottom of the
poultry yard, slides with the ease of a
boy on ice. re- -~
Don't pass that, coop with such ap
parent indifference" Mr. Bryan remark
ed the other day to visitor. "That is
my invention. +: You will notice that It
has sliding plank for door. Now, I
can pull it out this way and the hen can
pass out, but can fasten her in by slid
ing the plank up
