dates to Meet Labor.

Des Moines, Ia. July 3O-The re-
publican state central committee at
its meeting here yesterday decided
to call a meeting of the members
of the Iowa delegation and candidates
in this city about September l. This
meeting In accordance with a time
honored custom. will be for the pur-
pose OF discussing the details of the
campaign, particularly as to the issues
that should be considered. Leading re-
publicans Will also be invited In. Not
little interest viii attach to the con-
ference. in view of the differences OF
opinion that cropped out at the recent
state convention, when Lacey and Cous
ms took stands that were entirely at
variance with Cummins and his
friends.
Piquancy is also added to the com.
Ing conference through recollection OF
what took place year ago, when a
similar conference was held. AT this
conference. Speaker Henderson waa
present. this being anterior to his
notable decision not to run for another
term in the house. There was n clash
OF opinion at the conference, though
outward harmony prevailed. Governor
Cummins gave notice that he intended
to make a campaign along the lines OF
the platform and he had his way,
though Henderson. voicing the idea
that the 'shelter-to-m monopoly" plank
had the hiss of the viper gave his
reluctant countenance to the program
mapped out.
AT the meeting OF the committee yes
terday, there was also an exhibition Of
enforced harmony Chairman Spence
objected to the idea of having his ac-
lions controlled by the executive COM
mttee and the finance committee
which are under the sway of the Cum
minis men. The committees promised
not to interfere needlessly with his OPP
erations, but 1t was determined to hold
frequent meetings of the entire COM
mittee and thus keep close watch on
the conduct of the campaign. Notice
was also given by the Cummins men
that the conduct of the literary bureau
must be in hands friendly to Governor
Cummins and that they would not con-
sent to have literature go out from
headquarters that was covertly hostile
to the governor.
1t has not been settled when the cam
paign will open. 1t will probably be af-
ter September Is and may be as late as
October /. The consensus of opinion
seems to be In favor of a short and
vigorous speaking campaign.
The democrats of the state are ex-
pecting Mayor Carter III. Harrison of
Chicago to take part in the Iowa cam
paign this fall. Mayor Harrison has
promised ]. b. Sullivan. candidate for
governor, that he will take the stump
here.

CHAPTER III.
I MEET IEuAN GWYLLT.

When rode away from the inn the
next morning looked up at the Win
dows OF the house opposite. 1t was a
gloomy, bare looking place, and,
sharply as I glanced over 1t, saw no
sign of life stirring. The next half
hours easy travelling took me far be-
yond every sign of human occupancy.
The hills rolled all around me, gray and
bleak and bare in the pale February
noon. when l halted and refreshed my
self and Whitesock with provender l
had carried from the inn.
So far l had kept the path easily,
from the directions with which the
saddler had furnished me, and when 1
resumed my journey and had gone
nearly two hours march from my
halting place 1 saw before me, on a
ridge against the sky, the first human
habitation l had met for many, many
miles.
l was now riding up beside noun
tain brook which ran swiftly through
the glen, leaping and boiling down a
succession OF tiny terraces of rock. 1t
was swollen with rain, but the down.
pour had not been recent, for the first
muddy flush had run off, and the tor
rent was clearly, darkly brown.
AS neared the shepherds cottage
the ascent became easier, and wide
patches of smooth grass land began to
spread out on both sides of the stream.
Opposite the house, but on the farther
bank, saw a child playing, boy of
perhaps 6 or Z years old. He saw me
at the same moment and, at sight of a
stranger, bolted for the house like a
rabbit for its burrow.
The only bridge was a slender trunk
thrown across the stream, and half way
he slipped and fell, Springing down.
! ran to the bank, following a well
