CHAPTER x.


The instant after the gong sounded
Bob BROMLEY was alone on the floor
at the foot Of the presidents desk.
His form was swaying like a reed on
the edge Of the cyclones path. I

For Gods sake, Bob, hear me. Word

ago Of the miracle: Beulah has awak.

the nurses are frantic for you to come
10 her"
He got no further. with a mad bel.
low and a bound. like a tortured bull
that sees the arena walls 90 down, Bob
rushed out through the nearest door,
which, I thanked God, was a side one
leading to the street where the crowd
was thinnest. He a a wild look
around. His eyes lighted on an empty
automobile whose chauffeur had dc.

over the steering wheel, which he
grasped in his vioe-iike hands. His
hstless head was thrust far out, as
though II strove to get TO Beulah

only TO the howl of the terrified throng
and the curses Of the teamsters who
frantically pulled their horses to the
curb. but to my warnings as well. He
swung the machine around the corner
at New street and into Wall as though
Il had been the broadest boulevard In
the park. He took Wall street at q

the most noticeable features is the

the speed is good. Although new and
rather stiff, the engine is giving entire
satisfaction.

But it is not so much the purpose of
this brief article to advocate the Just
rights and privileges due to the women
of this country, although it has afforded
the writer great pleasure to pen the fore
going brief tribute to their worth and
just deserts, as it is to call attention to
the fact that when broken down in
health and strength by oyerwork, the
too frequent bearing of children, the
never ending toll, worry and care of the
household, or by whatever may over
tax the strength and delicacy of her
sensitive system, there IS one, tried and
proven, safe remedy upon which she
may rely to regain health. strength and
the power to fully enjoy life.
That remedy is DIR. Pierce's Favorite

Delicate, weak, nervous women should

PEOPLE OF THE DAY
A Fiddling Statesman.

When Robert L. Taylor takes the seat
IN the United States senate to which
he has been elected by the Democrats
Of Tennessee. that august body will
gain the most picturesque figure it has
had for many years. He has been in
politics for thirty years and never
made a political campaign without a
fiddle. He fiddled and talked himself
into the Forty-sixth congress in a Re-
publican district and fiddled and talk
ed himself into the governorship and
senatorship.
Senator Taylor was brought up a
Wing. He is the only male member
of his family who is not Republican.
In 1886 he ran for governor against
his brother ALI. and they stumped the
state together. Bob playing his fiddle

zeal legislation some of the state leg
islatures are enacting. To those gifted
with memory reaching back only five
or SIX years it seems strange to hear
of eminent financiers requesting an in
terview with the president of the Unit
ed States. Formerly these financiers
simply demanded an interview and got
it. That-waS in the good old days
when the office of PRESIDENT was hand
ed out to the faithful henchmen of our
pl1ndering financiers, and before Pres
ident Roosevelt had come to the front
as a. president of the people But it
must be gall and NORWOOD to the
kings of Wall street to have to toast
their Sims in the presidents ante

seeking an interview. Governor
Hughes, of New York, is showing these
same Roosevelt qualities In his deal
fngs with Wall streets henchmen at
Albany. Practically, altformer COVER
nors oe the Empire state have trans
acted their business in a little private
office in the capital. This private of
flee was very convenient in that it had
a private door through which favored
ones might come and go at will and no
one would be the wiser that they had
seen the governor. Governor Hughes
put stop to this practice by moving
his office out in a large room in the
capital where all his business is trans
acted in public. Pretty tough on the
grafters. More men of this stamp in
our public offices and the less we shall
have to fear from Wall streets finan-
cial systems.
