that the peace prevailing in the

The relations of the Americans and

five million dollars in bonds for inn
provements and a reduction of twenty
five per cent on sugar and tobacco
sent to this country from the Phil

nor of the state today, in an inaug-

brilliant in years. Thousands of
friends and admirers of the new

republicans, to whom the experience
was an extreme novelty attended the
ceremonies. Retiring Governor
Dockery, entertained prominent per-
sons, including William J. Bryan and
and wife, at breakfast this morning
FOLKS BRILLIANT ADDRESS
Jefferson City, Mo. Jan. 9.-In his
inaugural speech today Governor
Joseph w. Folk pointed out in a con-
vincing manner the evils of bribery
and suggested strict enforcement
of the law against the use of railroad
passes by legislators. The governor
recommended the nomination of can
didates for Office by primary and the
election of federal Senators by the
direct vote of the people. He favored
the denial OF the right of suffrage to
those citizens who failed in the use
of their privilege. He urged the re-
peal of the law permitting horse-rac-
ing and the attendant gambling, and
argued for sale at public auction all
franchises in connection with the
same.
Pertinent extracts from the reform
governors speech follow:
1.-THE legislators lot is not an easy
one. The pittance which he receives
for bis work is barely sufficient to
supply his necessary wants. The
temptations which beset him on
every hand assume the most insiduous
forms. An innocent present given in
supposed friendship, may have con-
cealed within it the germ which leads
to the downfall of honor. 1 have
never known legislator to become
corrupt deliberately. The moral col
lapse generally begins with the siren
song OF some past master in the art
of corruption. The way to corruption

will you Wait three months to
prove it," asked sommers. And then
if Crofton should not prove so ALFRED
civicly honest let me come back and
renew my suit" =. - =:
Glad of the opportunity to cut short
the interview, and also to give herself
breathing time, she consented.
A few weeks later Grace was COM
PEELED to visit Mayor Luce's Office in
regard to some matter pertaining to
charitable institution in which she
was interested in connection with her
work in the Woman's Club. The
Mayor was engaged, and as she sat in
the outer Office waiting she heard loud
voices and was surprised to recognize
one as that of Crofton.
What do you mean sir?" she heard
the mayor shout, evidently in anger.
"You who pose as a reformer and
travel up and down the town accusing
me as a boodler and the head of a
corrupt ring, come to my Office and
offer me bribe to veto a public i'm
provement because, forsooth, it will
cost your firm some money to pay q
special assessment
"Yeu are mistaken, SIR" she heard
Crofton's even voice say. "The offer
to transfer to you these lots is made
solely to obtain the use of your name
as one interested in the new sub-di-
vision and to give you. a natural inter
est in that part of the city. The i'm.
proveraent is wholly unnecessary at
the present time and would be a bur.
den upon the syndicate which holds
all that vacant property. 1t would be
ruinous, sir, ruinous."
What about fire protection for
those factory people who live just be-
yond your tract?" asked the mayor.
"Oh, all they've got is a lot of shan
ties,'' responded Crofton. 1T wouldnt t
hurt much if they burned"
1T would hurt them lot more than
the giving up of a little tax money will
hurt you,' replied the mayor hotly. Il
don't want your lots and won't
touch 'em with a pair of tongs. And I
won't veto the ordinance and you
I don't want to see your canting face
in my Office again. Good morning; get
out"
The door opened and Crbfton
emerged flushed and trembling. He
did not see the girl and passed out.
At that moment Sommers came in
whistling. He saw Grace and she
beckOned him to come to her.
II have reversed my decision" she
said quietly. Come and see me to-
night"

At last It was finished and a long
deep-drawn sigh escaped the throat|
Of the artist, as, his practiced eye;
followed the detail in search of some
slight imperfection and found none. :
How long had it been? How many;
hours? How many days? He had
kept no record of time. Nothing had
come up to him from the streets Of
London since the first news of the, dis.
appearance of the Countess. In
reality almost a week had passed.
The Countess had been given up as
dead, and Alfretti was plunged into
the depths of grief, while his friends
and the friends of the Countess were
wrapped in gloom out of sympathy
and sorrow.
But on the evening Of the fifth day,
just aftAr nightfall> a figure crept into
the house of Alfretti and threw itself
into the Counts arms The Countess
had returned, and new life surged
through Alfrettis veins. The beauti-
full woman had wrapped a large shawl
round her head and shoulders. and
she was still dazed for some moments
after her return to her husbands
arms.
"Oh. tell me what has happened"
she exclaimed. Il found myself in the
street, alone, and in the darkness
the street lights were so dim. And
you-you started for Florence this
afternoon. But you did not go?''
Alfretti knew by these last words
that her mind was a blank since the
time of her disappearance She had
been the victim of some mental aber-
ration and had been wandering-God
knew where. Quickly he fabricated
some story explaining everything, and
set her mind at rest. Then he secret
ly instructed the servants and re-
quested all her friends to refrain
from mentioning the strange disap-
pearance in her presence.
When the Sleeping Naiad of Mar
.golius was hung, critical London paus-
ed in wonder-struck admiration.
One day, at an early hour, before
the salon had received it's daily crush
of visitors, Margolius paused before
his own picture. Hearing footstep
behind him he turned and saw Al
fretti approaching.
"It is my first view said the lat
ter, turning his eyes toward the paint
ing.
The next instant an intense white
ness settled upon the Counts face, his
lips cuivered and '!ahored breath
surged up from his breast. His eyes
sought these of Margolius, and the
hypnotic fire that leaped to meet his
gaze told the story Of the Countess
trance. =
