had left Jenny Then his heart sank mserably,
for she not there.
Mrs. Grover!" he called, and when Mrs Grover
hurried from the kitchen, her hands 1eprous with
pastry dough, David looked at her SO thunderously
that she drew back
Where's the girl Mrs. Grover?" he growled.
She's gone, sir"
1 see that. You let her go, Mrs. Grover?"
"Why, sir, came here, saying he had
message from you for the girl, and | let him in.
They had talk together, then she said she must
be going l couldn't stop her.
David groaned
The man who had called was Neil, who, on hurry
ing to tell his master where Jenny was, had been
sent back with instructions to try and induce her
to leave the fiat and go to Hanover Square
Neil had accomplished this to the extent of getting
Jenny to leave Eddystone Mansions; but she would
not go to Strauss; for David threat of the police
if she disposed of the papers to anyone else than
their lawful owner in her mind, and she
feared to sell the papers to Strauss. as she knew
that she would certainly do, if she went to his
lavish rich rather than to the bargainer, and
temptation she had told Neil that she would wait
in a certain cafe and there discuss the matter with
Strauss, if Strauss would come to her. She was
waiting there and Strauss was going to her, led
by Neil, when David had seen him in the landau:
At any rate, the girl was gone. David felt as If
he had lost all things He had promised the GER
tifcates; and Violet had said, 81 shall owe much
gratitude to the person who hands them to me.
Now, Hupfeldt had, would have, them.
While he had been dallying and bandying words in

and he groaned to himself in pain Of self-reproach
TOO much Violet, David"
He strobe to and fro in the dining room with his
quickest step, pacing with the ightness of Gagged
bear, his fists clenched keen to act, yet not know
gone with her
One thing however, he had gained by the adj
venture namely, the almost certainty that
Hupfeldt was Strauss; for he had seen the valet
Neil who at Pccadilly Circus had declared that he
Strauss servant sitting the box seat of the
landau in which the whom David had
heard Violet at the grave call Mr.. van Hupfeldt"
This seemed a sort of proof that van Hupfeldt and
Strauss were one. The same who had been
so bound up with the sister, and had somehow
brought her to her death, was now about to marry
the other! The thought of such thing struck
lightning from David's eyes.
Never that!" he vowed in his frenzy. How
ever it goes not that!
And then he angry afresh with her, thinking
He can't be much good this man-she must be
easily won.'
He could not guess that van Hupfeldt had prom
ised to clear her sisters six months after the
marriage, and that this her motive, and not
love, for being He did not realize that the
certificates now lost by him would have freed
Violet from van Hupfe1dt. He believed that she

great wealth. Again, in this unreasoning mood,
he her in her nocturnal wanderings.
But bitterness and regrets could not bring back
the certificates in the gaining of which her honor
almost at stake. If he had known where
Hupfeldt lived, he would have gone straight there
Nevertheless, van Hupfeldt was not at home-was
hurrying away from home, in fact. Here, then,

The Night Watches

DAVID returned home angry with himself in
II all ways, not least for his loss of self-control
in pursuing Hupfeldt, with no object but
to vent himself in threats. His suggestion
to Hupfedt that other documents besides the
certificates might be hidden among the picture
frames in the fiat was in the tone of a chds boast
ing. One should find first he told himself and boast
afterward However, one of Mrs. Growers excellent
little lunches put him straight, and though work
was thousand miles from his mood that day, he
compelled himself to do it, and the pen began to
But first he had said to Mrs Grover: L want you
to get the steps, and take down every picture in
the fiat, except the three big Ones which | will
to myself"
Then with his flower pot of violets on each hand,
he was in the thick of the cowboy and prairie
flower history which he had on hand His stories
were already known on this side by the Whit of real
demand. Already the postman handed him printers
proofs, and he had proved to himself that he pos
sessed of the wisdom of the serpent in choosing
a reputable abode, because the men whom he enter
tanned went away saying, "Harcourt has private
means He has taken to literature hobby
an idea which made him popular. If certain editors,
the strength of it, wished to pay him hafrates,
they were soon undeceived David was much too
hard a nut to crack in that easy way.
Meantime, neither by sight sound had he
been reminded of the eery experience of his first
night in No. T. True, there noises during the
still hours such had twice thrilled Miss Estrange
and Jenny. But they seemed quite natural to him.
The dryness of the interior of the block of flats had
1oosened flooring boards and dislocated cross
beams, until the movement of an article of
furniture overhead or the passing OF neXt-Hoor
tenant from room to another, would set going
creaks enough to give rise to half dozen ghost
pancS.
That night he had to be at the Ho1born restaurant
for an annual dinner of nternationals; SO he struck
work soon after four, seeing that by then Mrs.

was another point. Jenny had clearly not gone
to van Hupfeldts on leaving the fiat or why should
van Hupfeldt be racing eastward? 1t seemed that
Jenny and Hupfeldt to meet somewhere
else perhaps somewhere not far from the Mansions
If David had only kept the landau in sight he might
have tracked van Hupfeldt to the meeting. He
felt now that if he could come upon them, them by
the mere force and whirlwind of his will, he would
have his way. On sudden he went out again into
the streets.
He ran southwark at venture If there was a
conference going on in any house nearby and if
the landau was waiting outside, he would recog-
nize it by the horses and by Neil on the box But
it turned out, even this recognition not nee
essary, for, running down Bloomsbury-st. toward
carriage of which he caught sight standing before
French chocolate-shop at the Oxford-st. corner
he saw man and girl come out of the shop. The
man lifted his hat and nodded toward the girl with
his foot on the carriage step, and then driven
off westward. Half minute afterward David had
overtaken the girl.
"You wretched creature!" he said in the fierce
heat of his anger and haste. Hand me those
thcates, and be quick about it!'
Il haven't the faintest idea which certificates
you mean" said Jenny bold brass, for
she had doubt been strengthened by the inter
view in the shop, and assured of van Hupfeldts
protection
This was enough for David He understood from
her words that the papers were now in van Hup-
feldt's hands, whereat flood of rage surged within
him, and, without any definite purpose he rushed
after the carriage 1t had not gone far because of
block of traffic near Tottenham Court Road, and
his hot face thrust the carriage door.
Van Hupfeldt shrank back into the farthest corner
with look of blank dismay.
Yes, you have them, Mr.. Strauss!" began
David holly.
What is it? muttered van Hupfeldt, crouching,
with his hand on the opposite door handle. That
is not my name
Whatever your name, or however many names
you may own, you can have those papers now;
but there may be other things where they

Papers! What papers? Find what?" asked
van Hupfeldt, with scared face that belied his
words.

within him, make amends for your crimes while
you may. If you don't, tell you shall have
mercy. Soon | shall have my hands you"
Drive on!" screamed van Hupfeldt to his coach
man. and, the block of traffic having cleared,
the horses trotted on and left David red faced with
fury, in imminent danger of being run over by the
press of vehicles behind

INVOCATION.

Almighty God, whose mercy led
The Pilgrim fathers to this land,
The feast is in thine honor spread,
Our fate still bides within Thy
hand.
Though from Thy ways our wayward
Have often strayed toward evil
things,
Yet to Thine altar we retreat
When time its mighty duties bring.
For years of plenty Thou hast given
For harvests of the sea and plain;
For naughty foes before US driven
For tempered sun and kindly rain.
For all the blessings we have known.
For ills from which we have been
free,
With humble hearts, dear Lord, we
own,
our gratitude and praise to Thee.
And as the larger visions rise
The dreams of empires we snail
win,
Lord. keep our leaders Just and wise;
And keep our peoples hearts from
sin.
Though we must conquer to make
free,
To Justice consecrate our sword,
And II we cease to honor Thee.
Destroy us with It, mighty Lord!

THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

Since oregon was admitted to the
union on Februar IA, 1859, she has
had II governors, six Of whom have
been democrats. No republican gov
ernor of the state has ever been elect
ed for a second term and two republi-
cans have never been governor in
succession. There has always been a
democrat sandwiched ia between the
republicans.
The only governors of the state to
be reelected are Grover, democrat,
who served from 1870 to 1877, being
succeeded by Chadwick, a democrat,
when Grover was elected to the United
States senate; Pennoyer, a democrat,
who served from 1887 to 1895, and
George E. Chamberlain, who was
elected to his second term last Mon
d day.
While Oregon has always been
counted a republican state, yet her
first, fourth. fifth, sixth, eighth and
eleventh governors have been of the
democratic faith, and upon three Of
these the mantle Of office has fallen
'cwice, a record which no republican
governor holds.
For three consecutive terms, from
1870 to 1882 the democrats held the
governors office-Grover, Chadwick
and Thayer being in office during
that period.
Again, from 1902 to 1910 the dem
. ocrats will hold the highest office in
the state, thus giving the state heavy
preponderance of democratic man.
age ment.
The popularity of the democratic
governors has been exhibited in their
reelection. The wisdom of their ad-
ministrations and the fearlessness OF
their individualties is emphatically
shown in this remarkable record in a
republican state.

a WIIITED BULLY.

An Oklahoma man tells good
story which illustrates the difference
between the effect of putting a man in
Jail and merely compelling him to
pay a fine. and shows how the black
mailers and thieves who manage GER
tain trusts and railroads may be
tanned.
According to the story. a ferocious
person came into South McAlester
some time ago and disturbed the pub
lie peace by announcing that he was
a wolf that he came from the head
waters of Bitter creek, and that this
was his night to howl. He empha-
sized this statement by firing pistol
several times and was promptly put
in the calaboose. Next morning he
was brought before Judge Stewart and
the case was heard.
"I fine you $50 for being a wolf
$50 for being from the headwaters of
Bitter creek and $50 because 1t was
your night to howl" said the Judge.
"All right. jedge," the bad man re-
piled, flippantly. 'I've got that
amount right here in my jeans"
81 also sentence YOU to Jail for six
months" continued the judge. Have
you got that in your jeans too?"
This was too much for the bully and
Wouldn't it be a good thing to try
the same remedy on the trust bulles ?
