New Haven Nov -Connecticut's
day OF rest was one Of great activity
among the political workers of the
state The fact that the campaign vir-
tually closed Saturday night ala not
deter the leaders from occupying yes
teIday with almost incessant work.
Serenity permeatod the atmosphere Of
the Republican headquarters, while
the claims Of the Democrats indicated
a growing confidence. They claim TO
have narrowed the probable margin Of
a Mckinley victory in the state to 5000.
On the state ticket the claim Of a
minimum majority of 1900 for Bron-
son for governor is raised to z 200. The
Democrats also claim the defeat of
sperry Republican, in the Second con-
gressional district by a close vote. ana
also claim that they will elect 10 out
OF the "a state senators. The Repub-
lican leaders concedo nothing. and
with much calmness claim a sweeping
victory.

ticians were terribly excited over a
statement which appeared in a West
Bay City paper yesterday, signed by

companied by an affidavit of Judge OF

missing in the First district. also that

the full Republican vote is cast the
stale committee claims the state will

Roosevelt electors. But there IS a
probability that the full vote viii not
be cast because of the apathy on ae-
count Of party confidence. In some Of

also danger of the disfranchisement Of
considerable number of voters be-
cause Of the change in the election

Gratis claim they will materially re-
duce the Republican plurality Of four

Yesterday estimated Bryan's plurality
in Colorado at the coming election at
$4,000. Although a complete fusion on
the state ticket was effected, silver Re
puhlcans and Populists do not estl-
mate Bryan's plurality quite so liberal

10000. The claim Of the fusionists as
TO the result in the state election Is
that James B. Orman. Democrat will
win by $4,000. Republican State Chair

to the result Of the national election
declares that the entire Republican

for all it's members of both sexes.
Monthly payments of 10 cents for ten
years insures dot at marriage after

bring a corresponding increase of

With some murmured words Of as
sent Mollie sank into her seat, and dur
ing luncheon took as complete sur
vey of the young man as the fact that
he was covertly trying to do the same
thing OF her would allow. Small, slight,
dapper, with sharp, well-cut features, a
sallow complexion, and quick, black
eyes, he was indeed a contrast to the
young officer who already held large
place in her heart.
thorough Frenchman was Henri
Dubois, both In thought and appear
ance, though his English was very
good; and as he sat at the foot Of the
table caressing his small, black mus
taehe and endeavoring to make himself
agreeable, Mollie privately came to the
conclusion that she disliked and dis
trusted him only little less than she
did his mother, and that might only be
because she did not know him so
well. Indeed his high voice and cynical
air contrasted badly with Reggie An
struther's hearty tones and easy, we'll

his mother thought him perfect, and
rarely took her eyes from his face.

She has been for a country walk

And she would not take me-"
Did a swift glance of meaning pass
between mother and son? Mollie could
not be quite sure. for this unprovoked
attack was disconcerting enough to
make her blush furiOusly. 1t was very
annoying, and madame's eyes were
turned upon her crimson visage with
unmerciful scrutiny.
Kate knows why 1 would not take

a somewhat naughty ring in her young
voice.
But this Mr. AnstrutAer-" began
madame coldly.

gather moss, and he accompanied me-

Madame's lips went into the thin
line that gave such a very unpleasant
expression to her face, and Mollie con-
tinued her luncheon with but a hay
notion of what was on her plate, and
vague, uncomfortable presentiment
that picking moss in the bright sun

CHAPTER ".

1t was with conflicting feelings that
Mollie brushed out her sunny hair be-
fore luncheon, staring absently the
while into the glass with a perplexed
frown.
They were strange people, these Du-
bois. and she uneasily felt that she
could not fathom them.
Henri's cynical tone she considered
unfeeling, for Leonard Barlowe had
been his uncle after all; while madame
never showed the least respect for her
dead brother. though any allusion to
him would visibiy upset her self-con-
troll. And Nollie shrewdly guessed that
the extravagant affection she heaped on
Kate was but on the surface.
Evidently madame had sent for her
son, and there was a she" in the Gaze
did they mean Kate?
Already Mollie had not very high
idea of their probity. and wondered
how much power they had over the
child's fortune.
But she did not think OF herself at
the moment, except 10 be glad that she
was no relation of theirs. And rflen
her thoughts drifted off to Reggie, and
there was smile on ner face as she
flung open the door, nearly running
over Kate, who was advancing conse-
quentially down the corridor, a huge
box Of distinctly Partisan bonbons in
her arms
Il shall not give you one because
you would not take me to get moss"
she said, with solemn spitefulness, as
she displayed them.
You should have gone with pleas
ure had you asked nicely" returned
Mollie, unruffled But | will not take
you anywhere when you are unpleas-
ant"
And before the irate mistress OF the
house could find anything bitter
enough for her poor little tongue to
utter, the elder girl had passed her,
and, descending the stairs, entered the
dining room, where Madame Dubois
and her son were standing by the fire.
There they stood. these aliens and
strangers. giving themselves all the
airs OF proprietorship in the house
that ought to have been quite as much
hers as Rates. Standing, too, right
under the painting Of her father In full
uniform that hung over the mantel-
piece. II would have been removed
long ago but that it had cost some
hundreds of pounds. and. Mr.. Barlowe
secretly thought, added distinction to
the room.
A hot wave OF indignation and
wounded pride swept over Mollfs
What business had these people at
Chalfont using everything as their
own. while she herself was but guest;
and it was a very frigid and naughty
bow that she gave in the direction of
Monsieur Henri Dubois when his moth

madame playfully. rs it to be cous-
ins?"
Certainly not, madame" she broke
in quickly. with polite smile. Il am

have in my fathers house is my half
sister Kate" And her tone clearly
implied that no other would be al
lowed.
The elder woman's face darkened
visibly; but before she could speak

bow:
