were printed the following sentences
In large letters of blue:
Constitutional governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed"
"The constitution and the flag one
and inseparable, now and forever"
"The flag of a republic forever, of
an empire, never"
"A republic can have no colonies"
To the vast majority of those in the
hall the flag was an unexpected Incl
dent and its appearance was the sig
nal for a frantic roar which caused
everything that had gone before it to
sink into insignncance.
Senator Tillman stood surveying the
storm and awaiting an opportunity to
proceed. Order was finally restored
and the senator proceeded
There were cries of Good, Good"
when the trust plank was read. When
the senator reached the re-affirma-
ton of the Chicago platform, with the
declaration of free silver coinage at
the ratio of 16 to 1, pandemonium
again broke loose. But the demon
stration was faint in comparison to
what had just occurred when imperi-
alism was announced as the para
mount issue"
When Hill Was Silent.
Senator Hill was among those who
remained quiet, while Mr.. Croker
waved n flag until it broke, and
George Williams led the mass contin-
gent in salvos of cheers. One of the
New York delegates raised a standard
bearing the inscriptions Don't think
there are no 16 to 1'ers in New York"
The demonstration lasted four and
one-half minutes.
The Boer plank brought another
cheer and the senator received a
round of applause as he closed. His
voice throughout was admirable and
he made himself heard throughout the
vast hall. His reading was forceful
and effective.
When the applause had subsided

of enthusiasm. The delegates sprang
10 their feet, standing on their cheers,
waving hats, handkerChiefs, umbrellas
and flags While the galleries took up
the chorus and carried it along for
many minutes. Senator Hill could be
seen marshaling the hosts to cheer. He
held the fan high above his head and
added his voice to the vOCiferous
shouting. a second time Senator Till

even a greater demonstration than be-

Suddenly hundreds, then thousands Of
miniature American flags were passed
among the delegates and the whole
floor of the vast structure became a
sea of flags An instant later the flags
swept over the galleries like a mass Of
hame. Bundles of them were tossed
upon the seats and distributed. The
scene was maGnifiCently inspiring and
the great audience was worked up to
a fever heat. On each flag was the
device "tEe constitution and the flag
are lnseparable, now and forever. The
| flag of the republic forever"
The band played a medley of patri-
otic airs. State standards were again

banner was an enormous affair, being

Mrs. Lancaster dipped her pen, drew
sheet OF paper towards her and wrote
as follows:
"God bless you and help you succeed

Evelyn was reading over her shoulder,
and when the writing was done she
kissed Mrs. Lancaster on the cheek.

CHAPTER VI.

One morning in the month of July,
when Ronald returned from his to-
bacco field, he found a score or more
mountaineers in the front yard. They
. were discussing an awful crime that
had been committed about dawn that
day. Mrs. Telplay, widow who lived
alone in q cottage at the foot of the
mountain, was found brutally muir
dered II had been generally known
that she kept quite a sum Of money
in an old hair trunk under her bed,
having always refused to take the adj
vice OF her friends to put her savings
in a more secure place. The trunk
was found to have been split open by
the bloody AK which had killed the
owner, and the money was gone.
Sydney Hart. tall, raw-boned
young man. with sharp black eyes and
a big mustache dyed to match, sat
astride his fine horse and told what he
knew Of the affair. As he talked he
famed his aquiline face with his
sombreGo.
"As soon as JEFF, that's her niger
house boy came in to make the fires"
he was saying as Ronald approached,
''he seed what had happened, an run
out to give the alarm"
Didn't nobody suspicion Jeff?"
queried old Fanshaw, who sat on the
steps IN his stockings,
Don't be so blamed fast" snarled
the narrator, with a frown. He could
not abide interruption, He was sort
of leader of moonshiners, though it
had never been proven against him,
and he was accustomed to more re-
spect than he deserved,
"Wel go on" grunted Fanshaw
you are about as good at telliu' a
thing as a one-legged man is at a
kiclSin' bee. You no sooner make a
start tlan you kick the end o. yore
spine up in the ground an thar you
are" '~e'
The crowd laughed impulsively, but
the fierce glare of sgd Harris eyes
soon put an end TO the merriment.
"You must a-had razor soup fur
breakfast, - he grunted, letting his eyes
rest on Fanshaw, and then he began to
smile. "Thdr wasn't no use a sus-
picionin jeff" he proceeded; "fur as

messed what passed at Carnleigh hat
evening. il might have softened his
sharp self-censure for what he had
done in the heat of passion. He had
always looked upon duelling as radi-
ccally wrong and he now told himself
he had gone too far in further humili-
ating a man after he had tacitly
thrown himself on his mercy Before
he had quilted the colonel's wood that
morning he was brought face to face
with a product of his example that
added a fresh sting to his general dis
content.
He had almcst reached the boundary
fence when he came upon his shaggy
haired. barefootcd brother, standing
up to his ankles in the wet loan of
ewampy spot. Dave was leaning on
rifle as tall and sturdy-looldng as him
self, an old-fashoned treasure which
he brought out only on special occa-
sions, such as prize shooting matches
at which he was champion shot
and when there was a threatened
"black uprising
"Why, Dave. what are you doing
here?" Ronald asked, in astonish-
ment.
"Huh! I amt a-doin' nothin. but
what l would a-done, ef I'd a-been
needed would a-been a plenty"
His brother stared at him.
"You mean you thought of taking a
hand, Dave?"

"Murder a 6ore hind foot! IF that

Dave broke into an impulsve laugh.
"By hunkey. Ron. you give me the
shivers awhile ago. l wasn't nigh
enough to hear what was passin' twiNt
you an him, but when | seed you draw

Ronald gave him the benefit of an
explanation, and Dave laughed incrcd'
ulously.
"An' you didn't even slap his jaws?'
"No. I was satisfied"
"Well," was the philosophical re

feet out of the mire and prepared to
walk on, "ef satisfaction was good t
