we're sorely tried. The American machines
were successful, although not entirely 90.
The high clearance, as the auto men call IL
the fact that the bodies are built high of
the ground-was the ZANE for the cars
made In this country II changed the
IDEAS Of Mr.. Scarritt, who had long z
made up bis mind that the foreign cars
we're much better than those built right hero
In America.
The automobile party did their travelling
mostly In relays The party. after O morn

left by automobile for some point a few
miles away. Sometimes twenty miles Of
Chihuahua ground was all that the auto
mobile party could COVER In q day.
1t would have been an absolute i'm
possibility TO travel deliberately ahead
without regard to a base Of supplies. Some
days when all the conditions were favorable
the automobile party covered perhaps
thirty miles. Everything Of course de-
pended IN the nature Of the country. It
was far from easy for The automobiles
to climb grades that might well have
been mountain sides. Thick brush covered
much Of the trails and the open spaces
we're filled with huge stones.
All told, It was an endurance test Of the
highest order. But the American made
machines showed up well beside the two
French oars.
Mexico Is not the automobile country
said Mr.. Soarritt. Around the city Of
Mexico, Il is trues there are good roads,
in the remoter provinces. where the
burro Is the motive power for horseless
carriages. the paths and ways are the re-
verse Of passable for an automobile. When

which also chung snugly TO him, seemed
rather the wrs for wear.

I signifedi my assent to this statement
and also my willingness, 90 the Senator's
secretary, to- be of service.
i am the first Of the Senator's prede.

'Eh, what's that?' I asked.
Yes; I am Elijah Whapples. formerly
Territorial Delegate and afterward the first
full term Senator from Sequoia.'
Then I remembered having heard that
Senator Whapples, the original ,Sequoia
hoodoo, WHO had started that fatal Sena-
torial line Of discredit and disaster which
had existed without a break ever since,
was still olive and eking out a miserable live
ihood among the scenes Of his former
greatness as a claim agent. 1t was not to
be wondered at-Washington is a limbo for
embodied. ghosts.
I triedlt to give a tinge Of sympathy to my
added assurances, but he would have none
Of it.
This lis a matter Of the utmost moment
he explained p~ompously. though I noticed
that his lined and notified hands were
trembling and a dull flush kept f~uctuating
In his Urinkled cheeks; "the very sort OF a
thing FOR the Senator to get into on the
ground floor. / can prove beyond the per-
adventure Of a doubt that twenty millions
Of cotHon, twenty millions, sir, seized and
oonflscated by the Government at a certain
Southern port during the civil war belonged
TO a loyal citizen, and that its proceeds are
the rightful property Of my client, the d.
rect descendant and only heir Of it's lawful
owner. What do you say to that?'
/ say it's a good thing I answered,
eor@ially; 'for. of course, the Senator

riediy, Savage is too rich not to be cautious;

Then it was that poor old Whapplee, 80
poably eager in his delusve hopes, came
ON his high horse and admitted hat he

documents essential to proof had been con-

as I represented her mother, whose dying
words oonfided her into my charge"
He sighed; he placed the photograph in
his inner pocket, guarding it from the world
and wadding 1t to his heart with the melan-
ohoW stack Of papers.
Please convey to the Senator he said,
my wishes and purposes, together with
my personal assurances
And then, after the manner Of ghosts,
he faded away.

III.

There Is no city In tho world where an
event cal be go exaggerated Or 30 belittled
as In Washington. When once public in
dignation is aroused there, look out for an
explosion; but ordinarily information awaits
the pleasure Of the powers that be.
Evidently an instant, urgent suppression
was exerted. The tragic death Of Mr..
Whapples was dismissed with a line as
the deed OF a mailman. In a day 1t might
be said to be forgotten. Those witnesses
to 1t passed me with a wink and a shrug,
as If to repeat, Mum is the sord.'
To me, knowing SO much and so little, the
affair became an ~engrossing problem.
l learned from the papers that Senator
Billings was confined to his rooms by severe
but not dangerous illness; hut beyond the
policeman's hurried explanation not a hint
could l CLEAN anywhere OF what that illness
really sigrifed.
So Investigated, slowly, patiently, here
and there catching a word that pointed
the way, until / was able to trace part Of
the steps and to deduce the rest that had
led old Whapples TO his raricstricken
fight up into the dome and down unto
death.
An elevator guard on the House side
remembered that he had taken the old
mas up to the third floor on the afternoon
in question, but not down again. True, he
might haYs descended by the stsirsl but

bic thing. A orouohing form IN dingy
black, with face terror distorted, shot by
into the rotunda; for G moment circling
under the pictures like a Gagged rat, and
then, as several Of the Capitol policemen
came up on a run, darting through the mar
row passage OF the winding stairs which
lead to the dome. 1t was poor old Whap-
pies.
I snatohed at one Of the policemen, whom
I knew we'll.
What Is 1t, Bill9' I demanded, you can
safely tell me-
'Mum'sthe word, he painted, pausing for
Q second. We're to snake old Whapples
over to st. Elizabeth's, and the matter Is to
be hushed. He shot Senator Billings, II you
must know. We've got him, too, the luna
tic; II he mounts those stairs there is no
escape, unless
'Unless1' I repeated as he broke from
me. sUnless2'
And asthe dizzy qualms returned, that had
swept over me when watching the painters,
Irushed down the stairs out into the grounds
again to look up from the tranquil green,
throughthe harmonious blue, to the loom Of
the great white dome.
II happened quicker han the telling Of Il.
I saw the painters throw down their brushes
and throw up their hands. I saw a pygmy
form spring among them. separate from
them, poise for an instant, for all the world
like a diver, and then out and down it
plum ged, gyrating, whirling, a spinning black
ball, to crash, to spatter, at the base OF
Washlngton's statue.
Poor old Whapples. May It be that the
uplifted hand of the Father OF his Country
invoked pity and forgiveness for you.

Hon. John 3. Jones.

Chairman Reilly then introduced as
the first speaker of the evening Hon.
John B. Jones who began his remarks
by stating that this was not the first
time he had come before the people
Of Escambia county to plead with
them to vote the Democratic ticket
and he hoped that every Democrat
would do his duty to-day just as they
had done in other days. He said he
had other engagements for the even.
ing but he had laid them aside to
come there and tell the people where
he stood on this question; that he
was for Pope Reese and the, whole
Democratic ticket and he wanted ali
Democrats to vote the same way.
The New Nominee, Mr.. Reese.
The next speaker introduced was
the new nominee for the legislature
and the man whose name is to be
written on the ticket today on
the blank line beneath the name oil
the Socialist candidate Dickson. Mr.
Reese made a short but forceful ad
dress and urged all Democrats to be
cure and comply with the law in vot
ing for him. He explained fully, as
did all the other candidates, how and
where his name should be written OF
the official ballot. He stated that he
had lived in Pensacola since Novem
Der. 1884. and had voted in ever!
election since that time in precinct
I, and he thought he was fully quail;

Gambia county in the legislative halls

sented late that night to having his
name go before the committee. He

Jacoby AppIauded.
Hon. M. Jacoby was the third
speaker introduced and created quite
a storm of applause when he said
that If there were any men in Escam-
bia county who were loyal to him he
wanted them to go to the polls to-day
and cast their ballots. for R. Pope
Reese for the legislature and for
every other democrat on. the ticket
He stated that he had voted the
straight Democratic ticket for over
thirty years and had never advised
any one to scartch a ticket in all that
time.
States Attorney kehoe.
Following Mr. Jacoby's speech the
band played lively air and Hon. j.
Walter Kehoe. States Attorney for
the first judicial circuit, was next in.
troduced Mr. Kehoe made an elo
quent plea for a Solid Democratic
vote. He explained the situation in
detail and said the executive com
mittee in nominating Mr.. Reese for
this position was acting for the De
mocracy of Escambia county and il
was every Democrats duty to vote
for him to-day. He stated that if the
majority of the Democrats from
apathy or other causes were to re
main away from the polls the repub
licans could center on some negro
and by secret work could poll theiI
solid vote and send such a represen
tative TO the Legislature from this
county. Mr. Kehoe said that he was
new resident of Pensacola but that
he had lived here "a years ago and
there were two things he remem
bered well about the city at that time
one was her bad sidewalks and heI
city administration, and they were
both Republican.
Judge chas. II. Laney.
Chairman Reilly then introduced
Hon. ChaS. H. Laney whose speech
was along the same line as those who
had preceded him. The judge Great
ed a round Of applause when he
stated that the Republican party
might be respectable in some sections
of the country, but it was not here
and never had been in the state Of
Florida.
Hon. John S. Beard.
The last speaker OF the evening
was Hon. John s. Beard. the Demo
cratic nominee for the state senate
from Escambia county. Mr.. Beart
urged all Democrats to do their dut!
to-day and said that If for any cause
Socialist was elected to-day instead
of Mr.. Reese. Escambia county would
be the only county in the state no
to send a full Democratic delegation
to the next Legislature. In closing HI
paid a tribute to NJ. Jacoby who haC
come upon the stand and urged hi:
friends to stand by the committee
endorsement of Pope Reese. and sait
that such loyalty and patriotism a
displayed by him was what kept tn,
Democratic party together to-day.
