from Danville. KY, purporting to be
speech made there BY Mr.. Lewis Nc
Quown defending the Calhoun war
fund graft. Mr.. McQuown promptly
repudiated IL in its entirety. He
wouldn't stand for IT, IL proved to
be not even the usual garbled account
dished up in Democratic papers to suit
the purposes of the Democrats, but o
veritable steal It was o defense Of
the war fund graft written by Captain
Calhoun himself, and given out to the
reporters at Louisville by the Demo
cratic campaign committee, by mis-
take, the Democrats now claim. II is
somewhat remarkable that these
mistakes" are not discovered until
the material 10 published broadcast
and distributed throughout the rural
districts, where the correction, such
rs IL is, never reaches in nine cases out
of ten.
About the same time the above oc.
Cured the Democratic ring organ, the
Lexington Democrat, took occasion to
say that Commissioner Yerkes had
misrepresented the congressional rec.
ords in stating that the bill under
which the war fund was collected was
passed in 1899. The Democrat de-
clared It was passed in October, 1898
instead. It developed that congress
was NOT in session at the time.
The treasury department at Wash
ington was telegrahed by the Lexing-
ton Leader. and this was received in
reply showing that Commissioner
Yerkes knew what he WAS talking
about:

THIS IS WHAT A VOTE
FOR BECKHAM MEANS.
louisville Post.


Saturday the Evening Post gave
the particulars Of gambling under the
form of slot machine, in open de-
fance of the law. These gambling de-
vices pay their tribute to the party in
power, and when protection is needed,
protection is there.
A vote for Beckham Is q vote for o
continuance of the supremacy Of the
gamblers.
Today the Evening Post publishes
In detail tho laws under which taxa
tion in Kentucky has been increased
nearly q million dollars. with moth
ing but new gratis and offensive graft
ers to show for this increase.
This exhibit 10 Of itself sufficient
to overthrow any administration. 1t
10 . complete refutation Of every
claim made by Mr.. Beckhsm on the
stump. II shows how little the gent
leman without . platform knows Of
she States ledger: - little Of the
ledger o. Of the constitution.
A vote for Beckham 10 . vote for
. continuance of this burden Of taxa.
ton and gross extravaeanoe.
The Evening Post has shown that
the expense of the militia under Gov.
srnsr Beckham IL four shines % great
- the expense Of the militia under
Gov. Bradley, YET Gov. Beckham ar
raigns Gov. Bradley for militarism
and processes himself . distrust Of the
soldier.
A vote for Beokham 10 Q vote Of ap-
prevail for this hypocrisy and this ex- !
travagance.
Furthermore. the Evening Post has
shown how in this city extravsgance
hiss grown from year to year, con-
tractors and grafters raiding the
treasury, which is without protection
or protectors. We have shown how
the law il defied and city employees
plundered for campaign fund. We
have shown how the schools are to be
to the domain Of the Office
holders Trust. and how, by this as
the gamblers Of this city hope
to rule the city, and by an alliance
with the Beckham ring, how they
hope to rule the State.
A vote for Beckham and the Beck
ham ticket isl vote of approval for
all these things.
Men and women of Kentucky, this
is but half, this lie not half the story
Of continued misg at Frank
fort and at Louisville. 1t will be told
in installments. A man who boldly |
repudiates the underlying principles
of the constitution cannot be expected |
to enforce the laws, eradicate the
CRAFTS and protect the homes Of the
people from the lawless, the violent
and the vicious. Remember the
Raleigh pardon, and cast . vote for
your homes. Remember the reign Of
blood in Bre athitt; see every day the
condition revealed again in the trial
Of Jest, the pardoned Jett; see how
these trials give "ample room and
verge enough the characters Of he'll to
trace" fitly tn portray the condition
of affairs in Breathitt, which fore
shadow the conditions that will every
where prevail unless the reign Of the
lawless can be ended.

from Nant-y-Bryn."
Then we must be on it." said l.
We are too far on it, replied Ieuan;
that is Why we are going back Two

l remembered it as he spoke 1t was
the way along which l myself had
marched when l first approached Nant-

lowing was the one by which Owain
had ridden to meet me.
We were soon near the point at which

l buckled on my sword, and, of set
purpose, took out my purse and rar
over the considerable stock of gold II
stlll contained. I knew he had nc
money to offer to supply me with for
my journey, and knew also that he
was troubled because he had not. The
sight of my we'll filed purse set him at
ease, though not q word of it was
spoken between us. We went down
stairs and out to the stable. White
sock whinnied her shrill delight as l
began to prepare her for the road, and
OWain helped with a WILL I glanced
across the courtyard time and again,
and at last saw Enid Vaughan stand
Ing at the door which led to the hall,
and looking across to the building in
which we We're. l left Owain to lead
the mare out and crossed at once to
the young lady
And Is it good bye then, Master
HeathCote?" she said. Il fear the re-
membrance OF Nanty- Bryn will be
but gloomy stain upon your memory.
You have been treated" She
paused. and her lip curled in proud
shame.
ooh, no. MOI" I said, mot you-not
Owain. I shall remember every mo-
ment l have spent with you as the
happiest Of my life"
My heart was SO full and she seemed
so moved at my going that l was on
the point of uttering my dearest
thought, when l checked myself and
bit my lips into silence. l had lost the
whole of my heart to Enid Vaughan,
and loved her as I had never con-
ceived it possible for one human be-
ing to care for another. But to say
so, l, fugitive on the face of the
earth! What had I to offer? 1t was
for Enid that 1 was flying again now.
If 1 remained to run the gauntlet Of
my uncle's ferocious retainers, what
chance would remain to me of COM
Ing back, mayhap, in more fortunate
times, to say what 1 dared not say
now?
You are going into the night" said
Enid, and here the night is the time
of danger"
Il do not fear, indeed" replied,
with Whitesock under me. Nor do
think that the Red Men of the Dusk
will be moving after their late terrible
lesson"
There was a rattle of hoofs behind
me, and Whitesock, plucking the reins
from Owain's loose grip, cantered
across the courtyard and laid her head
over my shoulder.
"She will bear me away now" said
in low voice, but be sure! oh! be
sure of this, that should a luckier day
dawn for me, she will carry me swift
ly back"
Enid became very pale and gazed
upon me with clear, steady look in
her great dark eyes. 1 bent over her
hand and kissed it, and in an instant
she was gone. No matter. I turned
away With a heart full Of joy and
pride. Upon the truth Of that look my
heart was founded as upon a rock;
upon it I would have gone to the ends
Of the earth and returned after many
years as secure as If I had left her but
yesterday.
From door, from window, from
porch, curious faces looked out on me
as Owain threw open the gate Of the
courtyard. I held his hand in a firm,
warm grip for a moment, then swung
myself into the saddle and paced out
to the road. We exchanged the barest
words Of farewell, for there was too
many inquisitiVe ears about to say
more, and I rode away from Nant-y-
Bryn.
