AT THE SUMMER HOTEL.
Experience of Winston Churchill Fa,
miIiar to Many.

Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer.
Ours" he said, lis a state fitted
above all others for a summer resort,
New Hampshire, with its superb eli
mate, it's mountains, its lakes and
forests, will in a generation or two
be n great pleasure ground-a vast
park, dotted with beautiful villas, to
which will come each summer fam.
lilies from all parts of America.
I'm anticipation of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum-
mer visitors. Some of them, too, are
taking boarders.
And am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in a position to
farmers in other states that l could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. l once boarded at
a fine big farm, but the fare was
northumberland vegetables, con.
densed milk and so on.

breakfast, as | pushed my egg cup
from me, these eggs are really not
as fresh as those l get in New York.
My farmer host snorted.

Republicans Ruled by Railroad.

The corruption and rottenness Of
the G.. o. P. is shown by the exposure
of conditions in New Hampshire by
Winston Churchill, who describes in
his speeches and produces the proof
that the railroad lobby allows only
such measures to pass through the leg
islature as are to the interest of the
Boston and Maine railroad. Mr..
Churchill, in many towns, found 1t nee
essary to introduce himself. as the
town officials. or other citizens, feared
that II they should undertake to have
any prominent part in the rally, they
would lose their positions on the rail
road or in the mills, or factories,
where they are employed. This ter.
rorizing of the voters is an old trick
Of the Republican machines, with their
trust and railroad corporation backing,
and yet the Republican leaders pre-.
tend to be reformers.

CHAPTER I

CHAPTER l.
1t was an odd, weather-beaten craft
a miniature ark which, on a December
morning in 1906, pushed its ungainly
way to shore and moored at a small
island in the Ohio.
From it a dozen young men disem-
barked. They we're armed with rifles,
but wore civilian dress which, rough
and showing the stains of travel, was
out Of keeping with their jaunty air and
gallant bearing. There was, too, an
air of suppressed excitement--almost
of stealth-in their movements as, the
boat safely tied, they fell into line, and,
skirting the briary tangle that surround
ed the beach, went Up through groves
and fields to a garden.
Here the company paused. Through
the vista of bare trees, a-sparkle with
frost, they could see the house. 1t was
a low, broad dwelling, its wide piazza
extending from wing to wing, like arms
Hospitality o~utstretched.
But the inviting porch, the smoke
reckoning from the chimney, were the
only signs of welcome. For everywhere
about the place were marks of recent
ruin. The newcomers stood aghast to
see havoc in every quarter. Shrub, lat
tice and fountain had been wrecked, it
seemed in sheer w~antonness of spirit,
and through the open windows they
caught glimpses Of the dissertation and
pillage that had been wrought within
doors.
The cause Of all this vandalism was
not far to seek. On every step, on every
garden seat, lounged a soldier, and this
mansion seemed surrounded, possessed,
by a noisy, brawling crowd of militia
men.
The visitors had barely time to note
this, when they, too, were observed.
Halt" was the command of a sentry
on guard near, and a dozen or more
soldiers rushed to the rescue.
In the midst of the alteration which
followed a lieutenant of the militia
strobe up with an air of authority.
"What the devil is all this row
about?"
Two or three privates, the worse for
liquor, began a noisy explanation, but
the superior officer stopped them.
who are you and what is your bust
ness here?"
The mar addressed was of medium
height, but so spare of flesh that he
seemed tall. Out of his long face, blaz-
ing eyes and white, prominent teeth
shone conspicuously. He had not yet
spoken, but his %undaunted behavior and
calm air of superiority attracted the
officers attention.
This latter repeated the question in
solently.
who are you and what is your bust
ness here?"
The other advanced slowly and sur
veyed him in silence. Then:
For the first, sir, we are American
gentlemen; for the second-you are
right in speaking Of it as our business"
Before the furious lieutenant could
reply a militiaman burst through the
crowd, exclafming:
Il know who they are. lieutenant; it's
q gang q the same sort as gave us the
slip last night. I'll warrant these cal
c'late to jine the Others"
His superior officer smiled mock
ingly.
"Ah, l see; then l have the honor,
perhaps, to address the future emperor

"If you understand anything" the
stranger interrupted, you must real

To this the other retorted: my
first duty is to arrest you all-which I
do-as conspirators against the gov
eminent"
Instantly there was an uproar as the
soldiers took forcible possession of the
newcomers, with no show Of discipline.
The stranger who had been spokesman
raised his voice in protest, but it was
drowned in the general babel of re-
monstrance, mingled with the COM
mands of the officer and the drunken
shouts of his men.
But another voice made itself heard
q wOman's voice. High and clear 1t rose
above the din. There was a vision of
flying draperies, and in the midst of
the crowd stood a slight girl, her face
pale, her eyes wide with excitement.

onets, she raised her hands fearlcssly.
