Meredith's room to say that he had
fulfilled his ,vOw-that he had found
Avice; but how? but where?

then his strength and his manhood
gave way. He leaned his head Upon
his folded arms, and sob after SOD
rent his chest and echoed through the
silent room. t

He had barely finished speaking
when q knock sounded at the door,
Travis opened it and took from a
man, whom he instantly recognized
as belonging to Miss St. Johns house

then started back aghast.

An hour later the two friends stood
in the same house which sheltered
Avice.
She had awakened. and was lying,
her eyes fastened upon Florence's
face. when she heard without the door
the quick. firm tread for whose COM
ing she had so often listened.
Her face grew deadly pale as the
door swung back and her brother en-
tered the room. She made no cry,
no motion, but when he released her
from his close and silent embrace
they found that she had swooned upon
his breast.

Some ask what are Judge Alton B.
Parker's principal's-what does he
stand for. 1t is probable that no man
knows except David B. Hill. He is a
protege of Hill. His history is very
brief and car be told in a few words
He was a lawyer of no known ability
when Hill asked him to become the
manager of his campaign at the time
Hill was elected governor of New
York. A vacancy occurring on the
supreme bench while Hill was governor.
Parker was appointed to the place as a
reward for his work as Hill's campaign
manager. Proving perfectly accepta-
BILE to the millionaires and great cor
porations, Parker was afterwards elect
ed to that position in 1897, because the
Citizens party which nominated Low,
Republican for Mayor of New York
City, that year, failed to put the Re-
publican candidate for Judge on their
ticket. AS a consequence the Republi-
can candidate lost about $4,000 votes,
and allowed Parker's election by about
$4,000. That is all that any one knows
about Judge Parker.
