able-for the first time his heart soft
ened toward his kind, and he saw good
in something human outside Richard
Thorne.
Time passed and he grew tired.
Reaching out for a chair. he started
back. Against the wall was shadowed
distortion Of his distortion, and the
monstrous evil thing seemed to gibber
and tremble like a palsied beast. In a
spasm of horror he shrank into the
seat, his hands shaking until the note
cracked like the dead leaves in the
wind. He had scarcely strength to fold
it in his notebook and thrust it in his
breast pocket.
Clasping his arms across his chest he
stared into the night through the open
window. tear stained his cheek as a
hidden spring sometimes moistens the
rugged front of n granite rock. With
sharp turn he blew out the lamp to
screen his daunted spirit from even
this silent witness of his conflict
against Gods dispensation.
The sun found him still in the throes
of resistance. He struggled from his
chair, and leaving word for Thorne not
to wait, crept away to solitude and the
hills, followed by Gypsy in disconsolate
sympathy. He came home after dark
iaded and stern but Thorne, who knew
these black moods, did not intrude on
this one further than to smoke a quiet
pipe in the hunchback's room before
going to bed.
But this present seizure did not run
it's course and abate as in former at
tacks, and Richard, unable to explain
ii. was at loss to combat it. In spite
of every effort the poor fellow grew
more bitter and morose each day, pur-
suing his solitary way and refusing to
be coaxed back into their old relation.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-09

| took the short cut through the Dudley
grove. He had shrived his soul and
limped along with his peculiar lope al
most buoyant. No such peace had been
his for days-he was going to make
up with Thorne and was bending home
with energy for the joy of reconcilia-
tion diffused through his being like
winter sunshine and made him restless
for the happiness to come.
OF sudden his mood changed. He
halted and peered through the trees.
There were others in the grove be-
sides himself-he was sure-he could
not be mistaken-it was Thorne, with
Rose Lathrop. They were standing
near hoary spruce, whose ragged
branches partly screened them from in
quisitive eyes. Her hands We're in his
and he was speaking rapidly The
dwarf stealthily threaded the trees to
see both faces TRANSPORTED as human
ment of supreme self-revelation and
surrender.
Turning back to the lake as If forced
by fiends Butler ran from this know
ledge and leaping into a skiff padded
over to the little island in the center,
where he beached the boat, and DASH
ing through the thckets to a safe hid
ing place, flung himself face downward
In gasping anguish When he returned
to the farm near midnight he went at
once to Thorn'e room.
"Thorne," without explanation or
preamble, Il have changed my mind.
l shall paint Miss Lathrop's portrait"
Good! That will guarantee the fam
lily at least one great picture in the
group. don't know anything l would
rather possess than a portrait of Rose
painted by you, old man. Shall we be-
bin soon?"
The hunchback heard this uncon-
scious drop into her Christian name
with a shudder 1t showed how close
already was her place in Richards
thoughts.
Amy time-so 1t is the present" with
a grim smile.
tomorrow, then. Don't go. Sit down
and let us talk 1t over"
But Butler shook his head and closed
the door.
During that solitary day on the island
he had decided that the portrait would
surely be painted, anyhow, and It was

lighted the lamp and dark red spots
burned his cheek bones. He carefully
cut the envelope with a touch of the
sweet fear and sacred timidity of a
bridegroom at the threshold of the
church. The note was addressed to
the Finder" and ran:
mo man may read a maids heart
but the Knight of Enchantment! The
key to the charm is his alone! If you
that find are that very true knight, set
forth on the quest, and Fortune will
bring your steps to the Wood of Magic
Bliss, where this solitary maid dreams
of your coming and hearts weave their
own histories. Sir knight delay not
too long. There may be gobins in her
path. YOUR HALLOWEEN"
Some dormant thing in the hunch-
back walked at the words. Had God
made his body straight, like other mems,
he felt he might have proved himself
that very true knight. Even as it was,
he held fast to the beautiful vision as
in a dream. The memory of his de-
formity dropped from him like bur
den and his spirit stood free and comely
as an archangers.
He and Richard had seen Miss La
throp many times in their sketching
jaunts about the lakeside, and her
proud young face, soft, fair, little
squarely modelled about the jaw, with
its wonder of pink and white flesh,
its rich setting of auburn hair, its dan
gerous brown eyes under the pleading
curve Of narrow black brows, reflected
against his memory with a reality pos
sible only to one who knows the sor-
cery of evoking shape from the void
His heart melted at the sight. II
seemed as If a hand were holding out
to him after years of silent dark, and
his soul went a-mating after love.
From the note came call that hailed
him to the feasting, and he followed
the piping with the simple delight OF
child dancing to the roundelay of a
street singer. He reveled in the treas.
ure and stepped his spirit In 1t as II

BY a natural reaction his brief outflow
toward Rose changed to aversion from
it's very futility, and she was now be-
come the red WITCH" enticing his
friend from him and forcing him in
desperate revolt to put away from him
the eager kindness of them both.
Thorne was not discouraged by his
repeated failures to comfort his friend.
He half imagined it was some crisis
tearing the unhappy mans vitals, and
his great compassion was equal to any
strain that might be put on it.
Butler" he ventured one evening be-
tween puffs of a good night pipe in
the dwarf's room. "how about our
painting those portraits of Miss Lath-
rop that Miss Dudley has ordered?"
Il must decline the honor!" curtly,
looking up from the study of head
on which he was engaged.
"Why?"
Cant do justice to the subject!"
Il think you are mistaken, old man.
Miss Lathrop seems to me exactly your
style, and the competition would be in
teresting Besides, the sittings would
throw us together again; we haven't

mo, not much"
II wish you would think 1t over and

Thought is not necessary, Thorne;

"Pshaw! There are no limitations to
your excellence. I'm not going to let
you dissappoint Miss Dudley If 1 can
help 1t. Wait day or two; perhaps
you will see clearer by then. I'll leave
you now; you are tired out with me.
Good night"
Something like self-reproach touched
the hunchback when Thorpe went
away. His memory suddenly reflected
the dank, cold cellar that had sheltered
him after long years of cruelty and

bosom en- envelope that she caught for
ballast across the canoe with rubber
band
These preliminaries were simple
enough, but the launching was the crit
ical moment, and Rose held her breath
as she committed her fate to the treach-
erous lake. For a moment the tiny
craft faltered as If shrinking the
danger, careened slightly and threat
ened to engulf itself, then proudly
righted its balance, trimmed square
over the eddies and set out for adven-
lures.
The night was so still the light
burned without a flicker, and Rose
after a short wait started away, conf
dent of tomorrow's promise.
AS her lantern disappeared the
hunchback crept down to the waters
edge and gazed at the pinnace of for
tune.
Strangely enough, the ripples drlfted

eye had recalled it from its happy goal.
Butler rescued it with a cynical smile
and blew out the light. Impatiently
swapping the band securing the en-
velope, he thrust the paper in his
pocket. Perhaps the note might ex-
plain this witless performance, for Hal
low'een, with its sacred and romantic
mysteries, did not occur to his barren
memory.
But for all his scoff there was some
thing delicately pointed about this
find, and the dwarf hurried back to the
farmhouse and locked himself in his
solitary room for a first view of a

starvation in charity orphanage. His
lot had been ribald jeers and cuffs until
the day he found out that nature had
mercifully made him strong to teach
his tormentors fear. After that he was
free to go his own way and starve and
paint in squalor and darkness If he
pleased. But a few years of worse
misery and destitution had cowed him
to the verge of suicide. when he was
accidentally discovered by Thorne
through a little water color which a
good natured sign painter had consent
ed to the dwarf setting up in his shop
window.
An Introduction and visit came at
once, during which Richard, as IL it
were the most natural thing In the
world, offered the unhappy, broken
spirited fellow a home in his sunptuous
rooms, where they had lived and
worked together ever since. This free
dom from care gave Buffers genius a
chance and rescued him from the hu-
initiating part of a perpetual bene-
fciary. His immediate recognition and
tremendous vogue would easily have
turned him into a social lion but for
his morbid horror of his deformity,
which drove him shrinking from any
public appearance. But Thorne's com
panionship compensated for all other
society and his art up to the present
had satisfied every craving of his ma
ture.
The morning after this personal re-
view Butler went for a long tramp
with Gypsy. Somehow in these close
communications with nature his brain
cleared of cobwebs, and he was earn
estly trying to scotch the monster he
had discovered in his breast these last
few weeks.

Pays Tribute to Iowa.

South Dakota has paid tribute to
Iowa by adopting the system for talk
ing the state census which is now in
vogue here. The statute governing the
enumeration has been taken almost
verbatim and in pursuit of knowledge
OF the methods employed in Iowa, a
South Dakota special agent was In this
city last week and called on Secretary
Dawson. Mr.. Dawson is the director
of the census and is pushing the work
of tabulating the census now. He has
devised the most convenient system of
blanks, and South Dakota without q
doubt will adopt his system. 1t is not
copyrighted. The agent is the curator
of the Historical society of South Da-
kota 1t has charge of the census in
that state, while here the executive
council in Iowa has charge. There, as
here, the assessors are the enumera-
tors, but If the authorities OF this state
had it to do over again it is probable
that the provision to make the asses
sors do the work would be eliminated.
It has worked unsatisfactory in two
ways; the counties have hesitated
about paying the assessors additional
compensation for the difficult work of
taking the census, and the people have
hesitated about giving information as
to the value of their property and kin
dred matters to the assessors.

Elections Case Again.

EleOClOIlS case Again.
A petition for rehearing of the BIZ
ennials amendment case has been filed
in the supreme court, and several strong
arguments iR favor Of the move are
cited. It is an incisive document, re-
viewing in some detail the opinion Of
the court. which sustained the validity
OF the amendment by unanimous deci-
sion. 1t is contended that the supreme
tribunal erred in holding that the provi-
sion in the amendment as to which of
the judges of the supreme court shall
preside as chief justice was one proper
to insert in an amendment whose main
purpose was to establish biennial cleo
tons. In holding that such amendment
does not require the incorporation of
municipal and school elections with the
general elections. Ladd, Of the Story
county court. rendered the first decision
on the controversy, and according to the
agreement Of both parties before the
verdict was rendered the matter was car
ried to the supreme body of Iowa. Here
the decision upheld the Story county
jurists, proclaiming the law valid.
There has been so much litigation re-
garding the law that it was supposed
when the opposition found themselves
defeated from two directions, they
would give up the ghost. But such is not
the case, and the second appeal of the
historic controversy goes to show that a
determined effort will be made to undo
the legislatures work in giving the state
biennial elections.

Des Moines, Ia, June g. - Railroad
freight rates are working havoc with
the population of Iowa, and if this vice
is remedied the state authorities will
have struck the key to the great de-
crease in the state census. This, in
brief. Is the statement which former
Stats Railroad Commissioner F. T..
Campbell has filed with the interstate
commerce commission of the United
States senate, in favor of vitalizing the
body by giving it power to adjust rates
and enforce its decisions. subject to

national and an Iowa point of view.
he submits names of Is factories

were driven from the state because of
the unfair railroad rates. Continuing,
Mr.. Campbell says: Add to this cata-
logne Of lost industries, with their
thousands Of employees, list of silent
factories to the number of nearly 100,
reported by the last census, and you
will discover why Iowa population has
fallen of nearly 100000 since the CEN
sus of 1900. That census of 1900 shows
70 idle factories in Iowa, with capital
OF s1,293,200, that are as silent as a
country cemetery, and that emphasizes
the testimony Of western jobbers Of
Sioux City and lumbermen OF Des
Moines that there is peaceful acqui-
escencep in this state in present condi-
tons. II we all had the special favors
these witnesses enjoy we would prob
ably think SO, too.
Tells Of Discrimination.
While this testimony was being
given before your committee, an ex-
member OF the Iowa railroad commits
sion was IN consultation with the lum-
bermen here, who are sorely exercised
on account of the discrimination Of $50
a car in lumber rates from the Pacific
coast to st. Paul by which Minnesota
lumber merchants are enabled to I'M
dersell Iowa dealers and are flooding
the northern half Of our state with the
products of st, Paul yards. In this
list of idle establishments are 20 to 80
packing houses, the new stockyards at
Des Moines with their Sc acres of ST.
lent buildings and empty pens, killed
by discrimination. Smokeless chin
neys Of Keokuk, Marshalltown, Iowa
City, Clinton, Fort Madison, Ottumwa,

silent witnesses of the havoc wicked
determinations and high rates have
wrought in our fair commemorative
system 1t is proposed to perpetuate."

MAY DECIDE TO ARBITRATE
Action Of Truck Drivers Is Awaited
Two Labor Leaders Are
Placed in Jail.

Chicago, June 7.-Teamsters and en-
ployers alike waited in suspense Tues
day for the action Of the truck driv-
ers at the meeting to be held in the
evening on the question Of arbitra-
ton. II the demand Of the Joint Team
Owners association IL met and the
arbitration is in favor Of the team
owners the rest Of the strike will be
short lived. II arbitration fails 5000
more teamsters will strike and the
struggle will be indefinitely prolonged.
An attempt was made Tuesday by
the latest peace committee of labor
men to effect settlement with the
State street stores, but nothing definite
was accomplished. In view of the
pending important meeting of the
truck drivers there was little DISPOSE
ton to push matters.
Cornelius p Shea spent two hours in
the county Jail Monday night. With
him as his cell mate was Hugh MCGEE,
president Of the Truck Drivers union.
The two were arrested at seven o'clock
and taken to the county jail at eight.
For two hours they were occupants OF
cell No. 523 in that institution. Then
they were released on bonds signed by
Alderman Thomas Carey and John e.
Fitzpatrick, proprietor of the saloon in
which they were arrested. Shea's ar
rest was due to his failure to give him
self up when he knew that capiases
had been issued for him on the charge
Of conspiracy. Shea, MCGEE and 12
others Of the strike leaders were rein
dicsed Saturday. Two of the indicted
men, Harry Lapp and w. ]. Gibbons,
gave themselves up Monday afternoon
and were released on bonds. The 9TH
ers failed to do so.
