stance he were a babe.
Dick knows the folly OF remaining
Ia such a section unarmed; a score
OF rutlans may rally 10 the assistance
OF the Mexican desperate, and then
the case will, indeed. be a hard one.
He scorns to run, but az the same
time leaves the spot and walks quickly
down the street, casting a glance over
his shoulder now and then to make
sure he Is not being pursued. II such
should prove to be the ease Il might
be policy on his part to run, but
whether Dick would do this in any
event is IN open question.
Fortunately his two enemies have
enough to do Just ut present in look

amused at the outcome Of the little
adventure. and believes he is lucky 20

as he goes, wonders what Colonel Bob

mess he fell into-Colonel Bob. who
declared he must be on hand when
the meeting took place between these
two inveterate foes.
Now It strikes Dick that there Is
an unusual excitement around him
people rush forward. shouts ring out
II is "frel" they cry. He feels his
pulse quicken fire engine dashes
by. Dick is on the run now since he
has discovered that the blaze is in
the quarter where is located the
house at which they put up.
Heavensl the glare seems Just
around the corner. Dick pushes a way
through the gathering crowd. and
then utters a cry OF dismay, for
flames are darting from the windows
OF the very house in which he left
his comrade asleep.

In doing so. his face Is briefly ilumin-
ed. It Is mo- the FIRST time a man
has been betrayed by such an act.
Dick nenvers hears an exclamation
close beside him that makes his heart
throb faster than It's wont-he hears
his name pronounced in conjunction
with a Mexican oath. Nevertheless
he continues 10 finish the operation

A temptation to enter assails Dick,
but he laughs at the idea-what ex.
cuse could he have for seeking assist

windows Of the house in which he
boards, he must, forsOoth. imagine
they mean him harm, and seek their
arrest, when. truth to tell they may
have been flirting with one Of the
maids domiciled on the top floor.
He walks on.
He has lost track Of the two men
whom he followed so far and turns to
retrace his steps. For the first time
he notes the fact that he is in the
slums OF Paris. Around him tene-
ments arise, from whose windows, in
years gone by. has sounded the slogan
of the Revolution. the war cry Of the
Commune. Here %red-capped men and
Amazons with streaming hair came

mohs that swept the streets Of Paris

While uttering these words Dick
steps forward a pace or two. This
brings him on a direct line with the
men, who separate, causing him TO
pass between. He likes not this idea:
1t Is almost impossible to watch both,
but he has gone too far to back out
now. and with a sudden movement
strives to get beyond the danger line.

There is also United States sena-
tor to be elected by the next legisla-
ture. The convention of the majority
party, if it carries out the directions
of the central committee, which is the
machine, will instruct the Legislature
to select Mr.. Gamble to the senate,
but there is no provision of law or con,
stitution that will compel compliance
with the instruction. In fact, legis-
lsture is law unto itself.
Wise precaution suggests that the
victory in the estate convention be con.

LEGISLATIVE BATTLE.

While the Roosevelt republicans of
South Dakota have gained a positive
victory in the disputed field of the
state and congress, their battle is not
yet ended. Without the legislature,
they will be unable to accomplish the
reforms that are prominent in their
intentions and nothing else is to be
expected than that the corporation ma
chine Will contest every inch of the
Legislative ground.
Though overcome in the state at
large, it is not admitting defeat so far
as to abandon its fayorite scene for

In the platform of the Roosevelt re-
