The Republican leaders will meet the
Democrats more than half way in making
so-called Imperialism the campaign issue,
although, of course, every person Of ordi-
nary common sense knows that there are
no advocates of an American empire in
the Republican party. The foreign policy
of the Mckinley administration, which is
fully endorsed by the Republican party,is
what the Democrats pretend to see I'M
perialism in. They will find out before
sthey get through with it that about seven
out Of every ten voters in the U, S. are
supporters of the foreign policy Of Presi-
dent Mckinley and believers in the era OF
Greater American inaugurated under his
administration,

It is a good thing that the Democratic
party has no reputation to lose for ac-
curacy of statement Facts are stubborn
Iy against them. They are wrong on sill

tress in Porto Rico. They are wrong in
predicting the doom of the Republic in
the event of McKinley's reelection, and
they are wrong by about million and a
half votes in their forecasts as to the cleo
ton Of their candidate in November.

CHAPTER xI.

That evening, when John Folsom,
half an hour earlier than the stipulated
time, drove the girls and their friend,
Lieut.. LOOMS, out to the fort, Maj.
Burleigh was left to his own devices,
and his face plainly showed that he
was far from pleased with the way
things We're going. The news that
Marshall Dean had been placed in ar
rest by order of the commanding Off
Ger of Fort Emory, following as it did
close on the heels of the tidings of
that young officers prompt and sol
dierly handling of the crisis at the
ranch, made Folsom boil over with
wrath. His first word was one of eau
ton, however. '.Hush!" he said.
Speak low. Wonder stands his sis

"And this Capt. Newhall, whose reg
iment is in Louisiana while he's out
here on leave-I thought officers went
east when they got leave"
'Newhali says he's out looking over

HE should invest some money in a

and his linen seemed woefully ont of

right. He's staying with him at the
depot"
"And you've got to invite them to
dinner?" asked Miss Folsom, after an
other pause, during which she had
been thinking deeply.
Not if you don't want it, pet. Of
course they'll expect it. Army officers
are hospitable, you know. Burleigh
has asked me to dine with him a doz-
en- times. though I've only been there
once
"Then you'll have to invite him,

decision. Only, just wait for day
or two. Capt. Newhall was going
right out to the mines, he said, and
there may be others we'd be glad to
have. Jessie's brother ought to be

som to her fond little school friend and
chum that afternoon. "have had to sit
or stroll with or listen to Mai. Bur-
leigh. | never once was able to enioy
the view. What made him hurry us
away from the northeast point, do YOU
suppose?"
did you notice that. Nell? l did,
too, and l was SO interested in the view.
Away up toward Laramie peak could
see something through the glasses that
looked like lot of little ants crawling
along together. 1t was just after that
just after we looked through the
glass, that he marched us round to the
other side. The view toward Green
river isn't half as pretty"
"And now he's telling some in
terminable story to father over their
cigars. What shall we do if he hangs
on? Father will have to ask him to
drive with us to the fort, and there
won't be room.'
Unless Mrs. Fletcher gives up her
seat" said Jessie, demurely.
Mrs. Fletcher isn't going. A very
different person takes her seat to-day,
Jess. Father left note for Mr..
LOOMS at the hotel and he accepted.
Now you see why don't want Mai.
Burleigh."
1t was then long after three o'clock.
AT five they were to start, and Jessie
could hardly curb her impotence. The
mail from Frayne, so said Folsom,
would arrive that evening, and then
surely there would be news of Mar
shall. They had slipped away to their
rooms after the bountiful luncheon
served on their return, in order, as
Pappoose expressed it, that the gen.
tlemen might have their cigars in
peace. Mrs. Fletcher, after seeing that
everything was prepared, had direct
ed the servant to say to Mr.. Folsom,
on the return of the party, that she
would prefer not to appear, and would
be glad to keep her room, as she did
not feel it at all necessary for the
housekeeper to meet strangers, and
Folsom felt sense of relief. 1t was
SO much sweeter not to have any pre-
siding genius other than Pappoose,
not that he was forgetful of Mrs.
Fletcher's merits and services-which
were great-but it was plain to see
that his daughter would have been
happier had no such Office existed as
that created for this deserving and
destitute widow. At three Miss Fol-
som had gone and tapped at the lady's
door-ber rom yo G in tho +b;rI c+o,x,

ciyilly assured that Mrs. Fletcher
stood in need of nothing, but, being
wearied, she would like little sleep.
No, she did not even care for a cup of
tea. Yet Elinor felt confident that
the voice that replied to her inquiries
came neither from the bed nor the
lounge, but from the direction of the
front window.
AT three the cigars were smoked out

when possible thing, to take brief
nap after the midday meal, and Elinor
felt sure he would be glad of the OPP
portunity now, if Burleigh would only
go, but Burleigh wouldn't. In monot-
onous monologue his voice came float
ing up to the second floor, drowsy,
unbrollen in its soporitic flow, and the
girls themselves, after the mornings
drive in the clear, bracing air, felt as
though forty winks would be pless-
ing. Could it be that Burleigh lin
gered on in hopes of their reappear-
ance below? Might it not be that if
relief came not speedily Papa Fol
som would yield to the spell and fall
asleep in his easy-chair2 Was it not
