On the porch of the Brentwood apartment house was David Kent. With the striking of the city hall clock at nine Mrs. Brentwood had com plained of the glare of the electric crossing-lamp and had gone in. leav- ing the caller with Penelope in the hammock on one side of him and Elinor in a basket chair on the other.
 Their talk had been of the late muni- cipal struggle, and of Rents part in 1t: and. like Miss Van Brock. Penelope was applausive. But Elinors congrat- ulations were tempered with depreca- tion.
 "I am glad you won for the league. of course; everybody must be glad of that" she said But hope the Ar gus didn't report your speeches cor rectly. If 1t did. you have made host of bitter enemies"
 What does a mana real man care for that?" This from the depths of the hammock.

CHAPTER XVII. THE CONSPIRATORS.

THE CONSPIRATORS.
 It was chiefly due to Portals urgings that Kent took Ormsby into his con- fldence when the campaign was fair ly opened. She put it automatically on the ground of charity to an exiled millionaire, temporarily out of a job; but her real reason went deeper. From it's inception as one-man fight against political chicanery in high places, the criticism of Bucks formula was beginning to shape itself in re- adjustment of party lines in the field of state politics; and Miss Van Brock, whose designs upon Rents future ran far in advance of her admissions to him, was anxiously casting about for a managerial promoter.
 A little practice-play in municipal politics made the need apparent. It came in the midst of things. hasing Itself upon the year-gone triumph ol agrarianism in the state. In the up- heaval, the capital city had partici- ,pated to the extent of electing a ma 'jority of the aldermen on the Bucks party ticket; and before long 1t de- veloped that a majority of this al- dermanic majority could be counted among the spoilsmen-was in fact creature for the larger ring.
 Late in the summer an ordinance was proposed by the terms of which single corporation was to be given a franchise granting a complete mo- nopoly of the streets for gas and water mains and transit rights of way. Thereupon a bitter struggle ensued. Party lines were obliterated, and men who summed the primaries and other wise shirked their political duties raised the cry of corruption, and q civic league was formed to fight the ring.
 In this struggle, as giving him the chance to front the enemy in a fair field, David Kent flung himself with all the ardor of born fighter. Mass meetings were held. with Kent as spokesman for the league, and the outcome was a decency triumph which brought Rents name into grateful public prominence. Hildreth played an able second. and by the time the obnoxious ordinance had been safely tabled, Kent had a semi-political fol- lowing which was all his own. Men who had hitherto known him only as @ corporation lawyer began to prophe- sy large things of this fiery young ad- vocate, whose arguments were sound and convincing as his invective was keen and merciless.
 Figuratively speaking, Portia stood in the wings and applauded. Also she saw that her protege had reached the point where he needed grooming for whatever race lay before him Hence her urgings. which made trf- umvirate out of the council of two with Brookes ormsby as the thirt member.

The Haywood we'll No. 8, is still

great difference of opinion on

The Primary Election Law
The People.

The People.
Representative in Hunsicker, of
Caddo, has kindly consented to in
troduce and look after the admira-
BILE Primary Election Bill that the
Democratic Direct Primary E!ec-
ton and Australian Ballot League
has drawn mp. vh the greatest
care and thorough consideration.
This bill observes every constitu-
tional requirement referring to
primaries and elections. 1t pro-
vides for placing the conduct of
the primary in the hands of the
electiop officers of the State, men
who are bonded officials and ex-
perienced in the performance of
their duties. 1t provides the fair
est method of selecting, by alter
nation, the commissioners and
clerks of election and the rights of
election and the rights Of voters
and candidates will be equally
guarded under this bill.
The bill contains good features
from other bills of the same ma
ture and its trainers in thus draw
ing from others have shown that
as between the public good and
the pride of authorship, the FORM
er should have precedence. 1t
would be impossible a frame q
more just aud equitablt law, and
many who have read it carefully
have so declared; but the bill will
speak for itself, and we do not he
state to say that the Legislature
will not have before it better
measure to consider.
Representative Hunsicker is a
gentleman of ability, energy and
great public spirit and in conseh-
ting to take charge of this bill he
has again displayed his merits as
a patriotic citizen and legislator.
Mr.. Hunsicker, it will be re-
membered successfully conducted
the Pool Room bill during the last
session of the Legislature and we
do not doubt that he will receive
the cordial support and co-opera-
ton for the primary law of every
member who desires the passage
ct a just and righteous law of this
kind.
