CHAPTER vi.

-
The session, the shortest in. the
history of the state, and thus far the
beast eventful, was nearing its close;
and the ;alarmists who had prophesied
evil and evil only of the last political
victory were fast losing credit with
the men of their own camp and with
the country at large.
Notwithstanding the lack of alarms,
however, the six weeks had been a
period of unceasing vigilance on the
part of interests which were supposed
to be in jeopardy. Every alien cor
poration owning property and doing
business in the state had its full
quota of watchful defenders on the
ground; men who came and went, in
the Hobbies of the capitol, in the visi-
tors galleries, at the receptions; men
who said little, but who saw and heard
Ill things down to the small talk of
the. corridors and the clubs, and the
gossip of the hotel rotundas.
David Kent was of this silent army
Of observation, doing watchdog duty
for the Western Pacific; thankful
enough, if the truth be told, to have
thing to do which kept him from
dwelling >overmuch upon the wreck
of his hopes. But in the closing days
OF the session, when despatchful as
sembly, anxious to be quit of it's task,
had gone into night sittings, the ano-
dyne drug of work began to lose its
effect. =, ~.
The Brentwoods had taken furnished
apartments in TETON avenue, two
squares from the capitol, and Kent
had called no oftener than good breed
ing prescribed. Yet their accessibility,
and his uncomfortable desire to scar
his wound in the flame that caused it.,
were constant temptations, and & he
was battling with them for the hun
dredth time on the Friday night when
ne sat in the house gallery listening
TO perfunctory debate which con-
cerned itself with bill touching state
waterways. I'D = Ssh. - r - ~: ID
Heavens! This thing is getting to

Kent nodded and lett his seat with
the bored one. But In the great ro-
tunda he changed his mind. =.
You'll find plenty of better players
than ] am at the club he said In ex-
tenuation. Il think I'll smoke Whit
or two here and 60 back. They can't
hold on much longer for tonight .
Five minutes later, when he had
lighted a cigar and was glancins over
the evening paper. two other members
OF the corporation committee Of safety
came down from the senate gallery
and stopped opposite Kent's pillar to
struggle into their overcoats. 3..53
It's precisely as ! wrote our people

should be, not. even Loring could;

Van Brock had been a citizen of the
