PRIMARY OR CONVENTION.
A North Alabama Politician Outlines
 A Scheme.

Courtland, July S.-tSpecial. )-Anent the question of primary or no primary. North Alabama politician who stands quite close to the State administration, sad to your correspondent:
 You mark my prediction. There will be no primlry What the State Execu- tive Committee which is called to meet in Montgomery on the 10th will do is this: The committee will call a State convention and will base the representa- ton of the several counties in the State on the registered white vote of the coun- ties respectively. Each county will be sove1 eign in itselfsin so far as the man. ner of selecting delegates to the State convention Is concerned. and each county may select its county candidates in the manner that seems best to it. but no State officers will be selected by primary election"
 The gentleman who gave utterance to the above quoted remarks Is a politician of more than a passing thought, coming as it does from one who stands so close to the political throne of Alabama.

And then-he always stopped at
this point, as though what further
vengeance the gods of retaliation
would infiict depended on circum-
stances, only that 1t was his full de
sign she should feel the bitterness OF
death and desertion that had wrung
his heart and turned 1t to stone.
Fedora was under some species of
spell.
She even knew not herself what 1t
meant.
This remarkable man interested her
he seemed to arouse some half slum-
bering memory that came as might
vague dream-a memory that must
have been pleasant, for it had an in
toxicating effect
The strangeness of the sensation
aroused her curiosity; she could not
tell why she was drawn so irresistibly
toward this blackbearded American
uabob. who had set the gossips of
London agog, whose name was on
every lip, and of whom she had even
heard the captain proudly mention
more than once at the table as my
friend the Marquis" Nor did she
make any strong effort at resistance
just as one is caught by a swift cur
rent and drawn on SO rapidly that the
senses grow confused.
What more natural than that she
should ask him to call. either during
her usual hour for receiving, or later
when the captain might be at home

CHAPTER XVII.
Spinning the Web.

Some weeks had passed.
All along the line the Marquis found
himself in condition to report prog
ress.
Mazette had removed to cozy lodg-
ings In a respectable neighborhood.
and encouraged by the appreciation of
this unknown but wealthy patron, she
had set to work most diligently upon
the task given her.
With nourishing food, and hope fill
ing her heart, the future appeared
rosy-hued. and she soon began to ap-
pear like the CHEEKY Mazette of old.
More work followed-M. Duval
sounded her praises aloud, and there
were those who already thought it the
thing to follow in the footsteps of the
latest lion. so that Mazette's future
seemed assured.
Then one day there was knock at
the door of her studio, for success had
enabled her to have workroom such
az she had longed to possess, 10, these
many years.
Upon opening the door the little min
iature painter saw tall, heavily
bearded gentleman, whose air was
somewhat foreign.
She straightway began to tremble,
under the conviction that this must be
her illustrious patron to whom she
Duval had been artfully prevailed
upon to give as elaborate a descrip-
tion OF the noble Marquis as lay in his
power
When her visitor spoke his voice
was deep and reassuring; and there
seemed to be some rare quality about
1t that almost startled little Mazette,
arousing ill-defined and hazy memo
ries of the past which she could not
whip into any concrete form, try as
she might.
When the Marquis offered his hand
at leaving she was little confused
by the warmth of his clasp and the
eagerness with which he promised to
drop in again and see how the work
progressed.
When the Marquis left the modest
little studio he was surprised at the
glow of generous feeling that came
over him.
God bless the brave little woman
1t does a man good to even bask in
her presence. Here, at least is no de
ception such as stalks abroad in So
ciety's circles-she had only good
words for her fellow creatures. At
least let me be grateful for the privi-
lege of being able to secure her fu-
ture. This holy desire for her good
may in a measure Offset the still fierce
passion for revenge. At least It gives
me joy, an experience had never hop
ed to feel again.
His other plans were maturing.
Evidently the Marquis was in no
hurry-neither is the satiated cat
when she has caught mouse that she
cannot devour.

At that moment the fort was nearer
being carried by assault than since
the day Its steel buttressed walls had
been first barricaded against the
forces OF sentiment and the holier pas
sions that come from above: for up
to this hour this stern man. bent upon
righting his wrongs OF the past. had
never once suspected that Fedora was
a mother. and the knowledge came
upon him like a thunderbolt from n
clear sky.
1t would be almost impossible to
adequately measure the surprise and
CONSERVATION that overwhelmed tine
marquis as he sat there and felt the
chubby arms of Fedora's little dar-
lings about his neck.
II was wonderful what an influence
this new and astounding element had
upon him he was quite dls-
armed - those chubby hands upon
his face. the little cooling voice.
as trusting eyes looked up
into his own. exclaiming: "Dodo

blood in his veins than the marquis to

parents.
In that short time he saw a great
light. such as had never dawned on
him before.
True. II might die out again, over
whelmed by the darkness OF passions s
sway; but the influence of his assocla-
tion with those innocents would have
n decided bearing upon his future.
Thus Fedora found them when she
came In, and greatly she marveled at
the sudden fancy her little darlings
had taken for the mysterious marquis
or course, their nurse was sum
moned and they were banished from
the scene; but the retreat was con.
Quoted with much reluctance. especi,
ally on the part OF Miss Dorothy. who
seemed to have conceived a great
fancy for the marquis.
Thus. the visit that he had intended
should be so dramatic, and lead to a
crisis, was of an altogether different
nature. And he came away without.
by act or word. having advanced the
desperate scheme which had so filled
his mind on crossing that home portal.
1t was not remorse-the time had
not come for that: but while the
kisses OF that innocent little prattler
were yet warm upon his cheek he
could not strike the terrible blow that
would possibly blight her mothers
future happiness.
Not being in the .humor to enjoy
social intercourse with his fellows, he
avoided those who would have sought
his company. and spent the evening
strolling along Oxford street and High
Holborn, watching the crowds smok-
ing innumerable cigars and wrestling
with his thoughts.

Luck seemed to favor him, for the
voice of an eager Jehu hailed from
behind.
The fourwheeler was one of the
nIght-hawk variety much the worse
for wear. but to shipwrecked sailor

so the marquis. with a laugh. bundled
himself inside and sang out his orders.
