be one of the most interesting gath
erings of the political party it repre-
sents that has ever been known to the
history of the United States. Resi-

to attend than has ever come to any
similar gathering in the country Large
sums of money will be spent in the

benefit in increasing it's population
and insuring it's future development
For that reason the citizens of Denver
have organized to give the visitors the
greatest display of western hospitality
that has ever been accorded visitors

towns adjacent to Denver to persuade
the delegates to go in large numbers
into the agricultural regions of the
state, through the mining camps an6

 Amongst the young friends who came from time to time during his hol- idays was Leonard Everard. now a tan. handsome boy. He was one of those boys who develop young, ana who seem never to have any or that Rawky stage so noticeable in the youth of men made in large pat fern. He was always well-poised. trim -set. alert: fleet of foot and springy all over. Tn games he was facile prln- ceps, seeming to make his enort ai ways in the right way and without exertion as if by an instinct or pnys- teal masterdom. His universal success in such matters helped to give him an easy debonair manner which was m itseif winning So physically complete youth has always charm. Tn us very presence there is a sort of sym pathetic expression, such as comes with the sunshine. It was not without a deem understanding of the secrets and analogies of nature that the old Greeks made the Sun God beautiful and fas- cinating youth
 Stephen always in Leonard's pres ence showed something of the common attitude His youth and beauty and sex all had their influence on her. The Influence of sex, as it Is understood with regard to a later period of life, did not in her case exist; Cupid's darts are barbed and winged for more adult victims. But in her case Leonard's masculine superiority emphasized by the few years between their ages, his sublime self-belief. and, above all. his absolute disregard for. herself or her wishes or her feelings, put him on level at which she had to look up to him. The first step in the ladder of pre-eminence had long ago been achieved when she realized that he was not on her level: the second when she experienced rather than thought that he had more influence on her than she had on him. But after all he was only an episode in young life which was full of interests. Term after term came and went; the holidays had their seasonable pleasures, occasionally shared in common. That was all. Of course Stephen. being of womankind. noticed how the round jacket developed tails: how the spreading collar became a standing one how neckties of new and radiant patterns came into being; and how even a hamboyant taste in socks began to develop. It is possible that Stephen would have thought more of Leonard, and have seen him oftener. only that Harold was generally home from college at the same time. And there were so many things which she had to do with Harold. so many things held over till his coming. that 1t was seldom that there was time left for anything else.
 Harold's attitude was the same as ever. He was of a constant nature; and now that manhood was within hail of him the love of boyhood was ripen- ing to a mans. love. Each holiday be- tween the terms became mainly a rep etition of the days of the old life. They lived In the past.
 To live in the Past Is all very well. But the Past stands still whilst the Present is a moving force. With each step new objects come Into view; new joys and fears; new loves and sym pathies. The whole circle of Cosmic's

i existence trembles eternally into new life &
 Amongst the things that did not change was Stephens riding dress. The scarlet habit had never been a thing for everyday wear, but had from the first been Kept for special occa- sions. Stephen herself knew that it was not conyentional costume; but she rather preferred 1t. If on that ac- count alone. In a certain way she felt Justified in using it; for a red habit was sort of tradition in the family. In the great dining room at Norman stand were two pictures of ladies of the house in scarlet None that Lady Diana by whom nearly 200 years ago the Normans became allied to the house of Dalrymple. and to whose picture. by Thornhiil. Stephen bore so striking a likeness. save her black eyes. The other was the Countess of Heply. painted by Gainesborough in his early days. Once a schoolroom tea, at which Stephen was a guest, when one pert young damsel questioned the taste of wearing such a dress. she replied with an air of tolerant gravity which made her questioner squirm:
 Tt isn't my own idea. My father likes 1t: and so do I for that matter. But In our past we have. sort of tra- dition. One must not forget ones an- cestors, you know, May I have an- other cup of tear"
 By a natural process. however the wearing of the red dress became con- fined to gala occasions. It was not for the stress of daily life; and whenever feelings of her youth. All her old memories. and old faiths. and old hopes were renewed again.
 It was on one of these occasions that she had gone with Harold into the churchyard where they had heard the discussion regarding God and the Angels. Lady Heply had been giving a great garden party, chiefly to the members of the hunt! and had asked that all should wear their hunting pink. To Stephen. of whom she was very fond. she had made special re- quest:
 T want you, my dear. to come in your pretty red habit that you wore on the first day of the hunting. Your father says you may come as 1t is only a garden party. and there will be lots of young girls who, like you, are not yet out. Indeed. the dress being un- tional occasion.'' Lady HepIy was very proud of her young kinswoman. and knew right we'll that there would be no more attractive figure in her garden than the young heiress of Nor manstand.
 It was a gallant cavalcade that swept up the long avenue of Heply Royal between the double lines of cen- tury-old oaks. that June afternoon. Squire Norman. with. Harold beside him. both on their great black horses. and Gilbert Rowly on his chestnut. Be- tween her father and her uncle, on her white Arab, all life and animation, Ste phen rode with an exulting spirit which seemed to shine through her in radiant color. Behind riding abreast, came the four black clad. splendidly mount ed grooms. their horses .hoofs making rhythmic time on the hard sand.
 When Stephen was about sixteen she went for a short visit to Oxford. She
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-05-07

stayed at Somerville with Mrs. Eg- erton, an old friend of her mothers. who was a professor at the college. She sent back her maid who had trav- eled with her. as she knew that the college girls did not have servants of their own. The visit was prolonged by mutual consent into duration of some weeks. Stephen fell in love with the place and the life. and had serious thoughts of joining the college herself Indeed, she had made up her mind to ask her father to allow her. know ing well that he would consent to that or to any other wholesome wish of hers. But then came the thought that he would be all alone at home: and following that came another thought
 and one of more poignant feeling He was alone now, Already. for many days, she had left him. for the first time in her life! stephen was quick to act; well she knew that at home there woud be no fault found with her for a speedy return. Within a to an end, and was by herself, despite Mrs. Egerton's protest. in the train on the way back to Worcester.
 In the train she began to review, for the first time. her visit to the uni- versity. All had been so strange and new and delightful to her. that she had never stopped for retrospect. Life in the new and enchanting place had been In the moving present. The mind had been receptive only. gathering data for later thought. There was some- thing in the stir and movement, the endless shifting of the pieces which made up the Kaleidoscope of life, ever bringing up new thoughts. new emo tions, new experiences; new combina- tions of thought and emotion and ex- periences in endless variety till the brain reeled. It was like trying to understand and formulate into memory a glimpse of a new and strange world. Dnriug her visit she had no one to direct her thought. and so it had been all personal. with the freedom of in- dividuality at large. Of course her mothers friend. skilled in the mind workings of average girls, and able to pick her way through intellectual and moral quagmires. had taken good care to point out to her certain intel- lectual movements and certain moral lessons: just as she had in their va- rious walks and drives pointed out matters of interest-architectur beauties and spots of historic import And she had taken in. Loyalty accepted
 and thoroughly assimilated all that she had been told. But there were other

They were deeds grant ing rfght-of- way and comforting and conveying land upon the South and North Alabama Railroad Company. Most of the deeds bore the date of the early eos, but some of them were as late as '73.
 Few of the deeds were made out in printed form: of all the sixteen there were perhaps five of them made out on forms. and these were the later ones made out by the City Council of Montgomery, signed by H. E. Faber as Mayor of the city. In the deed bearing the earliest date of the six teen, the signature of former Probate Judge David Campbell was attested. This writing Is quite plain, but the blackness of the ink has turned brown from age.
 Just why the deeds have never before been filed in the Probate office is not known. That they have been care- fully kept in a safe place is shown by the excellent condition of both paper and ink. None of the deeds seem to

The small part which womankind seemed to have in their lives Stephen had had, as we know, peculiar training; whatever her instincts were. her habits were largely boy habits. Here she was amongst boys. a glorious tide of them; 1t made now and again her heart beat to look at them. And yet amongst them all she was only an outsider, She could not do anything better than any or them. Of course, each time she went out. she became conscious of ad- miring glances: she could not be wo- man without such consciousness. But 1t was as girl that men looked at her, not as an equal. And somehow. unconsciously at first, but afterwards more. if not quite. consciously, she found in herself a tendency to look up. to admire. There was some strange want in her; something which she did not know, which was new to her; which was full of delicious. iangurous nega- ton of self; not pain. not joy. not sor- row nor regret not longing but whose prolonged sensation was ended in tears A sort of divine dissatisfaction with self which comes when sex begins to stir. All this had not been thought of in the whfrr of new life, when ev- cry breath drawn was a gush of fresh excitement. But 1t all went into that great storehouse which we call mem- ory. The review of it was to come later. when little things and big all jumbled together the naeltsrom would be separated; when each placed
 in proper isolation would assume It's true proportion. For as we'll as per sonal experience and the lessons of eyes and ears and intelligence. there were other things to classify and ad- just; things which were entirely from the outside of her own life. The frag- ments of common room gossip. which 1t had been her fortune to hear acci- dentally now and again. The half con f1dences of scandals. borne on whis- pered breaths. The whole condolences of dormitory and study which she had been privileged to share. All were parts of the new and strange world, the great world which had swum into her ken.
