CHAPTER XVI.
Gordon Rides Into the Country.

Gordon rode aiElessly out of the lit.
tie town with its twinkling lights
He did not care where he went or
what direction he pursued. He wanted
to ride OF a strange, enervating dejec-
tion that had laid hold OF him the
moment his last testimony had gone
in. 1t all seemed SO pitifully made
quate-without Williston-now that it
was all In. Why had he undertaken
it? 1t could only go for another de-
feat counted against him. Though
what was one defeat more or less
when there had been so many. II
would be nothing new. Was he not
pursuing merely the old beaten trail?
Why should the thought weigh so
heavily now? Can a man never attain
to that higher-or lower. which is it?
altitude of strifeless. unreeretful
hardness? Or was it, he asked HIM

ness, that. despite all his generous and
iron clad resolutions. he had secretly.

sweet. shy. little reservation in his in

bleak. rough life with him. But the
very sweetness of the thought of her
doing ii made him gasp there in the
darkness. How sitting the air was,
he lifted his hat. 1t was hard TO
breathe. 1t was like the still oppres-
siveness preceding an electrical storm.
His mare. unguided. had naturally
chosen the main-traveled trail and
kept it, She followed the mood OF her

TO GIVE HIS VIEWS.
Senator La FoIIotte to Express
Himself on the Senatorial
Candidates.
WILL SPEAK AT CHAUTAUQUA

United States Senator Robert M. La
Toilette will define his position in re-
gard to the United States senatorial
situation in Wisconsin at Platteville
on July 80.
Mr.. LaFollette is scheduled for an
address at the Platteville Chautauqau
on the afternoon of that day and dur
ing conferences with friends at Madi-
son the past week it has been decided
that no more favorable opportunity will
be given to him to say what he desires
to say on the United States senatorial
situation than on that day.
The remarks will come in the course
of the usual Chautauqau address of
Senator LaFollette on political condi-
tions, and it is understood that no
names will be mentioned in the course
Of his remarks. His opposition to Mr..
Stephenson will, however, be expressed
in criticism of senators elected on
reform platforms voting as Mr.. Ste
phenson did on the currency and other
bills, while his opposition to S. A. Cook
will come in the form of expressing
his belief that men who have at any
time opposed the "reform" movement
in this state should not be elevated to
high Office.
Whether these expressions of Mr.. La
Toilette will come In the form Of sin
gle declaration in his address, or wheth-
er they will be interpolated through
his speech, could not be learned. They
will, however, be put in such language
that there can no installing the mean
ing of the senator.
