All this while the Herald continued
its attacks, but Dan no longer minded
them. Nothing Ryder could say could
augment his unpopularity. 1t had
reached its finality He never guessed
that indirectly at least, Constance EN-
DRY was responsible for by far the
greater part of Ryder's present bitter
ness. She objected to his partisanship
Of the men. and this only served to in
crease his verbal intemperance; but.
in spite of the antagonism of their
views, they remained friends. Con-
stance was willing to endure much
from Ryder that she would have re-
sented from any ore else She liked
him, and she wa' sorry for him: he
seemed unhappy, AMI she imagined he
suffered as she herself suffered and
from the same cause. There was still
another motive for her forbearance
which. perhaps. she did not realize.
The strike and Oakley had become IL
mania with the editor, and from him
she was able to learn what Dan was
doing.
The unpopularity of his son was a
source of infinite grief to Roger Oak
ley. the more so as he took the burden
of it on his own shoulders. He brood
ed over it until presently he decided
that he would have talk with Ryder
and explain. matters to him and ask
him to discontinue his abuse of Dan.
There was streak in the old con-
vict's mind which was hardly sane, for

But. granted that what you have said
is true, who ,.an best afford to meet the

ship fall heavier. ON them or on hm?'
That was not the spirit which pre-

No, thank God; our fathers did not
stop to count the cost, and we have our
battles today just as vital to the cause

Oakley choked down his disgust and

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons of One Dollar each from Repub-
llcans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

brethren-sick, in distress, perhaps
dead-if we all neglected these duties?
If you are not doing your part. you
are making it necessary for some one
to do it for you, for a part of the work
belongs to each one of us, as a duty,
and if any one fails to do his part he
shifts that duty upon some other broth
