Harry believed in his inmost heart
that the sun rose and set simply for
the benefit OF Nellie But even he did
not take her political aspirations very
seriously.
Hilton city is such a party town
that there would be no hope Of winning
out in election against the regular par
ty ticket The only way would be 10
have some decent man nominated at the
primaries for school commissioner. And
you would have 10 break Tom Dorland' s
slate 10 DO that.
As burly Tom Dorlaud had left his
schO0lbOy days many years behind him,
Nellie was at first puzzled at the idea
that that rotund statesman should
want a slate. Perhaps he kept one IN
tender memory of his youthful days In
that case it would be q very mean thing
TO break 1T. She explained this in a
rather hesitating manner to Harry ROg-
ers. Harry grew red in the face and
for a moment seemed afflicted with a
bad choking At. But TO his eternal
credit he did not laugh. Then he ex-
planned states and primaries and other
political terms to Nellie until her pretty
head was in a Whirl But at last she

thought hard for a moment. The chair

a safer risk for a life insurance COM
pany than most men under sixty.
Most foreigners look upon Diaz as
one Of the worlds eminently success
full men. but he does not regard him
self in that light He has done a Won
derful work in Mexico. but he looks
upon himself as a failure because.
after twenty eight years, he is still
obliged to be an autOcrat.
For many years he has tried to find
a man who could succeed him without
exposing the country to the risks Of
civil war but he has failed. He is an
autocrat under protest. There is prob
ably no other great despot in the world
today who likes his job less than Diaz
does.
Again and again he has said that he
would not consent to serve as presi-
dent another term. He has told his
cabinet and the political leaders in
Mexico to find another man. They have
taken him at his word and tried to do
so, but in the end they have always
been obliged to come back to Diaz and
beg him to serve again

The evening Of the primary the hall
in which It was held was crowded to

DOrland, Mike Haskins. his candidate,
and the rest of the faithful followers
OF the boss. On the other were Mel
lie. her bright-eyed election corps, their
devoted followers among the young
men. and the indignant fathers and
mothers gathered TO insist on better
school accommodations for their chill
dren. One glance showed DOrland that
he was beaten. Mike Haskins. to his

same fact. Mike had been brought up
in the old rough and ready school Of

he had rather an admiration for the
pretty girl who had defeated him at

lest. But there was no use whining or
bearing hard feeling. For the burly
