for the benefit of the galleries, espe-
cfaIIy the women in the galleries. But
now he became sloven in dress, OFTEN
issued forth unshaven, and sat
sprawled at his desk in the Senate,
his chin on his shirt bosom, looking
vague and starting when any one
spoke to him.
Following my advice on the day
when | sent him away happy, Burbank
left the capital and the state just be-
fore the five worst bills left the COM
mittees. He was called TO the bedside
of his wife who, SO all the newspapers
announced, was at the point or death
at Colorado Springs.
While he was there nursing her as
she lowered between life and death,
the bills were damned through the
senate and the assembly.
He telegraphed the lieutenant gov
ernor not to sign them, as he was re-
turning and wished to deal with them
himself. He reached the capital on
Thursday morning. sent the bills BACK
with q ringing veto message, and
took the late afternoon train for Col
orado Springs. 1t was as good a po'
MtscaI "grand-stand play" as ever
thrilled a people.
The legislature passed the bilis over
his veto and adjourned that night.
Press and people, without regard to
party lines. were loud in their execra
lions OF the abandoned and shame

state and had covered themselves with

torial In the newspaper that was re
garded as my personal organ. But
there was only praise for Burbank;
his enemies and those who had doubt
ed his independence and had suspect
ed him OF willingness to do anything
to further his personal ambitions, ad
mitted that he had shown fearless
courage, innexible honesty. and the
highest ideals OF private sacrifice te
public duty" And they eagerly ex
aRxera&ed him, to make his white con
trast more wildly with the black OF
tho Satanic spawn in the legisla
ture. His fame spread, carried far and
vide by the sentimentality in that sup
posed struggle between heart and con
science. between love for the wife OF
hts bosom and duty to the people.

no interest in politics because 1t lacks
"heart-interest,' came to me with eyes
swimming and cheeks aglow. She had

CHAPTER XII.

Burbank Fires tnO FoPois' 'SA.
That was. indeed. wild winter at
the state capital.-a carnival OF cor
fuptfon,' the newspapers OF other
states called IT. One Of the first OF the
s.bIack bills to go through was dis
cujeed street railway grab, out OF
which Senator Croffut got handsome
counsel fee OF fifty-odd thousand
dollars. But as the rout went on. ever
more audaciously and recklessiy, ne
became uneasy. In mid-February he
was urging me to 60 West and try to
do something to curb those Internal
grabbers." 1 refused to interfere. He
went himself, and Woodruff reported
tn me that he was running round the
state house and the hotels like a crazy
man: for when he got into the thick
of 1t. he realized that 1t was mucn
worse than It seemed from Washing
ton. In a few days he was back and
at me again.
cts very strange" said he suspic-
fously. The boys say they're getting
nothing out Of it. They declare they're
simply obeying orders
Whose orders?" 1 asked.
.I don't know" he answered. his
eyes sharply upon me. But do know
that. unless something is done, IN not
be returned to the Senate. Well lose
the legislature, sure, next fall.
1T does look that way" I said with
a touch Of melancholy. THAT street
railway grab was the beginning of our
yakes progress. We've Deen going IT,
hell bent, ever since.
He tossed his handsome head and
was about to launch into an angry de
Tense of himself. But my manner
checked him. He began to plead
.-You can stop it, Sayler. Everybody
out there says you can. And. IL L am
reelected, I've got a good chance FOL
the presidential nomination. Should
get IT and be elected, we could form
a combination that would interest you
think"
II was a beautiful irony that In his
conceit he should give as his reason
why l should help him the very reason
why I was not sorry he was to be
beaten. For although he was no
dangerous, still he was rival public
figure to Burbank in our state, and
well, accidents sometimes happen. I'm
less they're guarded against.
