The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1906-05-30

Subway Smith intimated that a rubber
stamp must have been used In writing
the address.
The parade took place in the after
noon and proved quite the feature OF
the day. The question Of precedence
nearly overturned Monty's plans, but
the chief cf police was finally made to
see that if he were to be chief marshal
it was only fair that the firemen should
march ahead Of the police. The crew OF
the Filter made a wonderful showing.
1t was led by the yachts band, which
fairly outdid Sousa in noise, though it
was less unanimous in the matter OF
time. All the cabs came at the end, but
there were so many Of them and the
line Of march was so short that at
times they were really leading the pro-
cession despite the gallant efforts CT the
grand marshal.
From the balcony Of the hotel Monty
and his party pelted those below with
flowers and confetti. More illusions to
Franklin and Lafayette were made
when the cure and the mayor halted
the procession and presented Monty
with an address richly engrossed on
imitation parchment. Then the school
children sang, and the crowd dispersed
to meet again in the evening.
At 8 o'clock Brewster presided over a
large banquet and numbered among
his guests every one Of distinction In
the town. The wives were also invited,
and Franklin and Lafayette were again
alluded to-. Each Of the men made at
least one speech, but Subway Smiths
third address was the hit Of the even
ing. knowing nothing but English, ne
had previously clung consistently to
that language, but the third and final
address seemed to demand something
more friendly and genial. With a
sweeping bow and with all the dignity
Of q statesman he began:
aMesdames ct messieurs, j'ai, tn as,
il a, nous avons''-with magnificent
gesture-"vous avez'' The French
members Of the company were not
equal to his pronunciation and were
under the impression that he was still
talking English. They were profound
" impressed with his Difference and
grace and accorded his preamble a
round Of applause. The Americans
did their utmost TO persuade him to be
seated, but their uproar was mistaken
by the others for enthusiasm, and the
applause grew louder than ever. Sub
way held up his hand for silence, and
his manner suggested that he was
about to utter some peculiarly impor-
tant thought. He waited until a pin
fall could have been heard before he
went on.
'Maitre Corbeau sur un arbre
perche"- He finished the speech as he
was being carried bodily from the room
by DeMille and Bragdon. The French

tain that she had deliberately avoided
him for days and weeks, and he could
find no reason for it. Hour after hour
he had lain awake wondering where
be had failed her, but the conclusion
Of one moment was rejected the next.
The Monte Carlo episode seemed the
most plausible cause, yet even before
that he had noticed that whenever ne
approached her she managed to be
talking with some one else. Two or
three times he was sure she had seen
his intention before she took refuge
with Mrs. Dan or Mary Valentine or
Pettingill. The thought Of the last
name gave Monty sudden thrill.
What if it were he who had come be-
tween them? It troubled him, but
there were moments when the idea
seemed impossible. AS they mounted
and started off the exhilaration Of the
ride made him hopeful. They were to
have dinner in the open air in the
shadow Of az abbey ruin some miles
away, and the servants had been sent
with Mrs. Dams help the dinner was
made gay. On the return Monty, who
was off last, spurred up his horse to
join Peggy She seemed eager to be
with the rest, and he lost no time with
preamble.
"Do you know, Peggy" he began,
something seems to be wrong, and I
am wondering what it is.
"Why, what do you mean, Monty"
as he paused.
every time 1 come near you, child,
you seem to have something else to do.
If I join the group you are in it is the
signal for you to break away"
Nonsense, Monty! Why should
avoid you? We have known one an
other much too long for that" But be
thought he detected some contradiction
in her eyes, and he was right The girl
was afraid of him, afraid Of the sensa-
tions he awobe, afraid desperately OF
betrayal.
"Pettingill may appeal to y9u," he
said, and his voice was serious, but
you might at least be courteous to me-"
Glow absurd you are, Monty Brew
ster." The girl grew hot. ''You needn't
think that your million gives you the
privilege Of dictation to all Of your
guests"
Peggy! How can you? he inter-
jected.
She went on ruthlessly. eff my con-
duct interferes with your highness'

Suddenly Brewster remembered that

and expressed fieeting wish that he
might be with them in the Latin quar-
ter. with Pettingill to follow, I sup

''And Mrs. Dan more opportunities,
she retorted as he dropped back toward
the others.

her to a race and they were flying

T@HE great day finally arrived,
and no carnival could have been
more successful. The morning
4 was devoted to athletics and
side shows. The fremen won the tug Of
war. and the people marveled when
Monty duplicated the feats of the strong
man in the circus. DeMille was called

words of French, he graciously retired

Bragdon feared that his sarcasm was
almost insulting.
Really, Monty, the scheme is ridic-
vufous, said DeAlille. "The police won't
allow it .
won't they, thought said Monty ex-
ultingiy. 'aThe chief happens to be Phi
Eppe,s brotIier-in-law, and we had him

worry about the fete. It's going to be
great Why, an Ir;shman isn't fonder
of marching than these people are Of

The men in the party went into ex-
ecutive session as soon as Monty had
.gune to interview the local authorities
and seriously considered taking meas
ures to subdue their hosts eccentric

pealed to them too forcibIy, and almost

ment that the mayor Of the town would

ard Of the estate and his innumerable
assistants was very Italian and full Of
color. A break in their monotony was
welcome.
The loveliness Of the villa and its
grounds, which sloped down to the
gentle lake, silenced criticism. For q
time it was supremely satisfying to do
nothing. Pettingill wandered about
as though he could not believe it was
real. He was lost in kind Of at
mosphere Of ecstasy. To the others,
who took it more calmly, it was still
a sort Of paradise. Those who were
happy found in it an intensification Of
happiness, and to those who were sad

GOV. PARDEE'S TOUGH JOB

1t seems to have occurred to Cover
nor Pardee that he cut out too big
job for his private secretary when he
repair the governors political fences.
On reflection the governor thought ap-
parently, that he had "sent boy to
mill" as they say in the country of
a manifest mistake of that kind.
However that may be, the governor
evidently appreciates the magnitude of
the job of fence repairing in this neigh
borhood. He is ''in our midst" now
and persons who know him we'll say
he never before wore so expansive a
smile nor tried to be so captivating in
manner. When he was a candidate
for governor four years ago his strong
est card was the hearty handshake
and the familiar chat with the labor
ing man. A standard feature of his
former campaign speeches was the tell
ing how workingmen of his acquaint-
ance always call me George"
In order to bring the governor into
intimate touch with Los Angeles Re-
publicans his promoters have arranged
a barbecue, not far from the city,
where he will deliver the opening
speech of his campaign. This barbecue
idea probably originated with the gov
error. He is a physician, and of course
understands the basis for the saying
that the surest entrance to a mans
confidence is through his stomach.
But the governor has tackled the
toughest job in all his experience. Los
Angeles Republicans are not easily
hoodwinked. They know that soft
words butter no parsnips," and they
are not likely to be fooled by efforts at
political hypnotism. They have not
forgotten the governors chicanery in
his treatment of Los Angeles in the
Owens river matter, and they can
never forget the ingratitude with which
he requited the debt for his political
salvation four years ago by Los An
geles votes.
Four years of George C. Pardee in
the executive chair at Sacramento
marks the extreme limit of California
endurance, Four years more? Good
Lord, deliver us!"
