r. BILL WILLIAMS took the
first train for 1rvington. set
tied himself with a long
black cigar in the smoking
car and began to churn his brains for
answers to many perplexing questions.
That his enemies were trying to euchre
him was as clear as day. His son
might have sent one wire Of warning.
but why dozen? That was Jacobs
fine italian hand. If Richard was at
liberty. why had he not written? Why
had he left his baggage at the St. Re-
gis without returning? How dared be
go to 1rvington? Where had he gone
thereafter? Where was he now? The
old gentleman gave it up and chewed
the end of his cigar in savage impa-
tience. OF one thing only was he GER
tain-he would get on Richards trail
and follow it to the end.
On reaching Irvington he hurried to
the telegraph Office and sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to his representative
at Austin. Tex:

1rvington. N. Y.
There was some considerable delay
in sending his wire. which he further
heightened by telephoning to his New
York representatives, making an ap-
pointment with them for later during
the day. AS he had plunged straight
for the telegraph Office. he neither saw
nor was seen by Mr.. Jacob Renwyck
when that gentleman. accompanied by
two plain clothes men. got of the rear
car Of the same train, rushed across
the platform. jumped into a waiting
surrey, the only carriage that happened
to meet that train, and drove rapidly
away. Nor did he hear several people
inquire Of the station agent for walk
ing directions to Mr.. Renwyck's place.
First there was well groomed, some
what pompous. official looking English
man, with q red face and white side
whiskers, evidently a man Of author
ity and importance. Next there was
a tall, blond young woman, with a
ripping" figure, who expressed sur
prise that no vehicle was there to meet
her. And finally there were an excited
old farmer. hard featured man in
plain clothes-also with an official hook
and a fussy little representative of

Renwyck's accusation: false,
though it was. he had expect
ed it all along and had steeled
himself to bear it without the turning
Of an eyelash. This would seem to be
his opportunity for confessing his de-
ception. yet now he was checked by
the part the two young ladies had
played on the previous night To make
clean breast of it would be to involve
them also, and even though it would
clear him personally he could not en-

that gentleman in undisguised con-

There were murmurs Of approval
from several persons among the COM
pany. especially the ladies, but this
only made Mr.. Renwyck more firm in
his just convictions. -
Nonsense" he cried. utter bosh!
Do you mean to tell me that you will
swear in court-as you certainly will
nave to-that you opened that library
window merely to let in fresh air?'
There was no other reason" the
Texan answered imperturbably.
Mr.. Renwyck tried another tack.

THE POWER BEHIND JOE BROWN


The following is from the Fitzser
aid Enterprise.
The question is easily answered.
Its the railroads and the liquor ele.
ment And its the same element that
is strongest for him. There has been
opposition 70 Governor Smith by the
railroads. Which was to be expected,
but they did not come out for Brown
uptil the liquor interests got in be
hind him and demanded that he run
in opposition Then the railroads
fell in line in weak sort Of way,
because they have long since realz-
ed that they had no grievances Of
any extent and hat the legislation
against them has been put in the
hands OF competent. careful and
thoughtful men who are taking plenty
OF time in the consideration OF the
reforms pertaining to rate changes.
This. then, leaves the liquor Gle
ment as The real powar behind Joe

NEXT HOUSE REPUBLICAN.

New York, Oct. 29.-Representalive
Henry c. Loudenslager, New Jersey,
secretary of the National Republican
Congressional committee, who has
been in charge of the New York head
quarters cf the committee during the
campaign, gave out his estimate today
of the complexion of the House of Rep
rcsentatives in the next Congress.
From the several thousand letters
received" said Mr.. Loudenslager and
from personal interviews with Ioli-
tlcians and other observers from all
sections of the country, / am convinced
that a conservative estimate of the
political complexion of the next House
is 227 Republicans and 164 Democrats.
II am confident that election results
will give an increase in the number
Of Republicans rather than a decrease.
This campaign has been strange one
in many respects and unusual cond;-
tons have existed in different sections
and while there will be some change,
the net result will in my judgment be
as stated"
Chairman Hitchcock of the Repub-
lican National committee said late to-
day thai he would probably give out
his forecast of the electoral vote to-
morrow afternoon. He said that the
statement would include the doubtful
