Been completed-New Audi.

Denver, Colo, March 21.-Speciai
This city promises to be the scene
of highly exciting times when the
| democratic rational convention
meets here july 7th. Headquarters
are being secured for candidates for
the nomination of president and vice
president daily and It appears there
will be a large number of aspirants
for the official pums of the demo.
cratic party.
w. j. Bryan is to be in Denver
April 9th to deliver an address. Gov
| John \. johnson of Minnesota is ex-
/ pected at a later date. Judge George
Gray of Wilmington, Delaware, has
already secured headquarters here
| from which to make a campaign for
nomination for president. Sylvester
/ Chanler, lieutenant governor of New
| York is expected to open headquar-
/ ters here also within a short time
and begin a campaign for the presi-
/ dental nomination, backed by the
votes of the delegation from the
Empire state.
The nomination for vice president
seems to be one that attracts more
than ordinary attention. 1t is doubt
full if there will be a single unin-
structed state delegation at the con
vention pledged on the choice of vice
president and the selection of man
for that position on the ticket will
be thoroughly spirited a score OF
aspirants for the place have already
visited Denver either in person or
by representative and will open head
quarters here during the conven-
tion.
The new auditorium I'm which the
convention is to meet has never been
used for convention purposes before.

ever held within its walls as it has
just recently been completed. II

place for a convention. Denver has
large hotel district and the con
venton hall is situated in the midst
of IT,. \ few minutes walk from any
hotel in the city is all that is nee
essary TO reach the convention hall
and this circumstance alone is re-
garded as an immense advantage
for the comfort of the delegates.
Hotel and restaurant keepers here
have pledged themselves in writing
to the national democratic commit
tee not to raise hotel rates and the
prices of meals and lodging will be
the same during the convention as
when there is no crowd in the city.
1t is expected that a large gath
ering of notable politicians OF the
democratic persuasion will come to
Denver during the convention. Al
ready elaborate suites of rooms In
the leading hotels have been re-
served for men who are we'll known
leaders Of the party. II Is expected
that nearly all the candidates for
president and vice president will
make preliminary trips to Denver
and deliver addresses here while
looking oveA the ground with view
to outlining their votes in the con
vention.

All the evening Stella had looked
forward to the moment when she
might dance with Alfred During the
programme Gideon had knocked at the
door Of grandma'am's room, then the
green rOom," to ask for coming
waltzes, and had gone away scowling
at Stellas refusal.
Their brief players moment had
passed, when Alfred's eyes had burned
into hers, revealing his own heart in
Romeo's words.
Yet, now that it was over, it seemed
a dream, and Stella began to doubt,
to fear. No formal words could more
fully disclose them, one to the other;
still an intangible veil had dropped
between them. Alfred was withheld
from her; or did he withhold himself?
No matter what it was, this hour she
would claim. One dancei Once to feel
his arms about her. to fancy him her

this; would borrow from the future

onlookers halted them. Some one ad-
dressed Stella and she did not hear
Mr.. Crockers low request for an i'm
mediate word with Alfred He told
her OF it as they walked slowly down
the room.
She saw an angry CLEAN in his eye,
saw his set, stern jaw; but he spoke
hardly word. Stella almost felt that
his anger was for her. In vain she looked
for some tender glance, some whisper
that would explain. She could not
know that Alfred was fighting one of
the few fierce battles of his life: that
he was almost ready to strike out
with his fist for possession of her, to
defy Mr.. Croker, business, all the
sane and safe and dutiful things of
life. But the wild moment passed.
and more than once on his way to the
door he looked back tender messages
to her.
The supper hour came; but she
would not go with Gideon upstairs,
where it was laid in the corral" fear
ing that Alfred. in his first search for
her, would miss her. Neither would
she dance afterward, but sat out a

fatigue.

had gone to bed. Was he only waiting
for Alfred? Would business chain
him? But surely Alfred would insist
on this one night-what little there
was left of It.
Ten-forty! A scared-looking boy
came in with note for Sally B.
Stella, watching her as she read saw
her face grow white, saw her whisper
to the boy and send him away. And
she noticed that Sally B. danced and
laughed no more.
Alfred came at last, painting, a red
spot on his cheek, his lips dry, his
boots rock-scratched and his trousers
red with dust.
NO; no supper yet, there isn't

questioned him in the hall. Yes,

leap to her eye, but went on quickly

She nodded, flushed at the look he
sent to her over his shoulder from the
stair and ran in to help Sally B. set
the programme in motion.
1t was better than the usual ex-
perience of amateurs, for Alfred was
practised in such work and had drilled
his mummers carefully. And the on
lockers were so ready to be pleased
that the flimsy house quaked with fire
