her to be inoffensive: but as election be-

Miss Amanda was a Republican.
Hattie told Emily Louise; her voice was
low and full Of horror. For Hattie reflected
| the spirit of her State and age; the State

the SOS.

I Acknowledgements who are not Democrats

How does one know which one is?' asked
Emily Louise, feeling that it would be dis
concerning. considering public opinion, to
find herself a Republican.

asked.
His countenance changed. "It's-well-it's
the sort you don't want to have anything to
do WITH" said William, darkly.
Emily Louise, knowing how William re-
garded her conscientiousness, was uneasy
because of a certain recollection. She must
get to the bottom of this. She sought Aunt
Louise privately. Aren't you a Democrat?"
she inquired.
The indignant response of Aunt Louise was
disconcerting. What else could you dream
/ ann" she demanded with asperity.
You said you didn't approve of demo-
cratic institutions" explained Emily Louise,
| recalling.
"I approve of nothing under Republican
| domination said Aunt Louise, %haughtily-
which was muddling.
Whats papa?' asked Emily Louise, sud-
denly.
Aunt Louise, dressing for a party, shut
her door sharply.
One could ask Aunt Cordelia. But Aunt
Cordelia turned testy, and even told Emily

There was JUNCTION in the glib quickness
of Toms reply. Then he lodged: it was
just in time.
"Shet yo' mouf." said Aunt Miranda, with
wrath; ''ain't 1 done toF how they've KEEP
it from the chile?'
Emily Louise was swallowing hard. "Then
-then-am l a Republican," Her voice
sounded way off.
: Aunt Miranda turned a ~scandalized face
upon her last baby in the family. "Co'se
yer amt. chile: huccome yer think sech
er thing? Amt yer done learned its sim
nahs is Jumped wi 'publicans-po' whites,

The comfort in Aunt M'randa's reassuring
was questionable. "But-you said-my

da turned on Tom. II lay 1 bus yo' haid

Aunt Miranda was sparring for time.

Miranda, muttering, glared at Tom.
For Emily Louise was gazing into a gulf
wider than the river rolling between home
and papa a gulf called war: nor did Emily
Louise know, as Aunt Miranda knew, that
it was a baby's little fists clutching at Aunt
Cordelia that had bridged that gulf.
Emily Louise turned away-her papa was
that thing for lowered voice and bated
breath-her papa-was a Republican.
Then Emily Louise was a Republican also.
Hattie said so; Aunt Miranda did net know.
At twelve one begins determinedly to face
facts.
Yet the very next day Emily Louise made
discovery that a greater part of her papa
had been that thing for lowered tones. She
was working upon her weekly composition,
