ShessIghed. A bitter Thought peeped
up in her that he was perhaps trifie
careless in showing her these little at
tentions. She wished he would speak
TO her Of that other girl who awaited
him In England. A pleasant state of
confidence would be established then.
These secret witches of sentiment
Were Irritating.
She walked aft to obtain nearer
view of the operations The sailors
had already shut In large portion of
the promenade deck with canvas. and
she noticed that loopholes were pro-
vided every ten feet or so to permit the
effective use of the defenders firearms.
Thus at each step she was reminded
OF the iprecariOus hold she had on life,
and she was positively frightened
when some mad impulse surged
through her whole being bidding her
imperiously to abandon her ultra con-
scientious loyalty to woman she had
never seen. Why struggle against cir
, cumstance? If death were SO near.
what did she gain by prudery?
For an instant she stood aghast at
the revelation which had come to her
She was in love with Courtenay She
/, was ready to die by his side, fearless
and joyous, if only he would put his
arms around her and tell her that she
was dear to him. All, the fierce delight
! OF that first silent surrender. Her
heart beat as 1t had never pulsed be-
fore, even under the stress of the
storm or the sudden terror of the
night attack. Her eyes shone, and her
breath came laboriously between parted
lips. Golden dreams coursed through
her brain. She was thrilled with ar
unutterable longing
Then her swimming eyes rested On q
| group of men standing on the poop
! Among them was Christobal; interest
ed, like the rest, in the floating Of tho
mine. And forthwith Elsie fell from
the clouds and was brought back
shuddering, to cold reason again. She
was sick at heart She hated herself
for her self AMUSEMENT. She must grid
her with sackcloth and mourn, and
the fight must be fought now without
parley or hesitation unless the sweet
ness wereyto go forth from life forever
and all things turn to ashes in hel
mouth.
! So, marshaling the best qualities OF
her womanhood, she quelled the tur
moil In her breast, forced herself t.
join the men on the after deck and
said when the smiling Spaniard turned
to receive her:
where do they mean to put the sec
ond contrivance?"
About there" he said, indicating
point on the surface of the bay east
ward of the canoe. His right arm wa
extended. and he placed his left hant
on her shoulder. Courtenay, hailin,
Walker, saw the two leaning over tn
rails In that attitude. Perhaps one O
the two hoped that Courtenay woul,

SHUN VITAL QUESTION.

The claim OF the Capital News
that Twin Falls was made the choice
for the convention because of It's
anti-Mormon sentiment Is rather i'll
timed, coming as 1t does after the
Ada county delegation had fully &C.
corded In the selection of this city
at the meeting of the state central
committee. The claim that this sec.
tion is strongly anti. Mormon was the
only bit OF truth manifest In the
Capital News screed. Twin Falls
county does believe there is politi.
cal side to the Mormon question and
that belief is not confined to the
ranks OF the democratic party, and
In case the anti-Mormon plank is IN
serted, as the major portion of the
voters desire, it will mean larger
vote for the state and national ticket
than ever before.
The question Is not for the scbem-
ing politician to decide whether the
democracy of this state declares for
the purity of the home, but for the
treeholders of that party. A few dis
eruntled would-be off!ceholders from
the capital OF the state seem to have

Candidate Taft stirred up a hornets

before Grants tomb. In referring
to the life OF Grant he said some
things about his early career which
IL would have been better to have
left unsaid. There is no doubt but
what the speakers Intentions were
all right. Taft desired to draw the
lesson that 1t does not matter how
down In the world man may yet,
yet there is an opportunity for him
TO recover that which he has lost-as
was the case In Grants later life.
The old soldiers may not like the

that he did not intend to cast reflec.

WILL CARRY NEW YORK.

"Unless President Roosevelt should
be renominated, said Lemuel Ely
Quigg today, sit is my opinion that
the republicans will be swept from
the field 10 New York state, II
Hughes also should be left of the
ticket for the office he now holds.
Even IL Hughes Is renominated and
osevelt is not, we should have a
bard enough time carrying the ticket
through. But. in my opinion, with
both Roosevelt and Hughes side
tracked, we would stand no possible
show OF holding the state In the re-
publican column. Without one or
the other of these names to coDjure
with through the campaign, Bryan
would be sure to carry New York.
Mr.. Quigg represents the views OF
the old republican machine 10 this
state the Platt. Odell faction, which
for generations prior to the election
OF Governor Hughes bad things its
own way.
Mr.. Quigg's sentiments are echoed
by other machine politicians who are
In despair over republican prospects
in New York this year. They are
practically unanimous In the opinion
that Roosevelt is the only man who
can carry the state and have 80 in
formed the president.
One of Mr.. Roosevelt's staupchest
supporters, who enjoys the presi
dents confidence, but who, for OBJ
vious reasons, declined to permit the
use of his name, when asked today IL
Mr.. Roosevelt was likely to undergo
a change of heart and accept re-
nomination, said:
81 don't know; l don't think the
president himself knows; it all de-
ponds upon circumstances. When
Mr.. Roosevelt announced that he
would not again be candidate he
was sincere. Many things have since
happened that might justify him in
reconsidering his determination and
again go before the country.
''Should Mr.. Taft fail of nominal
ton on the first ballot, there is no
telling just what will follow. Mr..
Roosevelt is being bombarded with
letters, not only from politicians,
but from business men from every
section OF the country, urging him to
stand for reelection.
"These letters have made an i'm

The resolution introduced In the

defeated by only II votes. Secretary
Taft secured the prize OF uomina.

In other words the South has nomin-
