"THIS is MY 65TH BIRTHDAY
H. Clay Evans.

Henry Clay Evans, leader of the re-
publican party in Tennessee. was born
in Junitat County. Pennsylvania, June
Is, 1913, and received a solid school
and academic education. Soon after the
beginning OF the civil war he enlisted
as private in a Wisconsin regiment
and served until the close of hostilities.
In 1870 he took up his home in Chatta-
nooga and engaged in business as an
iron and, car manufacturer. He was
twice mayor of his adopted city and In
1889 was elected to congress on the
republican ticket, though the district

was strongly democratic. In 1898 he
was appointed assistant postmaster
general of the United States and in the
following year he was an unsuccessful
candidate for governor of Tennessee.
In 1885, at the republican national con-
vention, he stood second in the ballot
ing for the vice presidential nominal
ton. President Mckinley appointed
him United States commissioner of pen
sions, which position he held for five
years From 1902 to 1905 he was the
United States consul-general at London.

oh, this is the really important
phase of the republican national con-
vention. And why not? Is it not more
important that the banker in Terre
Haute gets into the convention than
it is who is nominated for vice presi-
dent? That banker helps every year
in the campaign fund, doesn't he? He
is one of the boys who really does
business in the fifth district, isn't he?
What would he think; what would he
say, nay more, what would he do, II
he did not get a ticket to the conven
ton? Well, what he would do is a
pretty important matter to sundry ana
divers candidates. OF course. he usu-
ally gives it to some one else half the
time, and maybe he doesn't go at all.
But he must have his choice of going
or not, anyhow-Indianapol News.

presentment. Through what adven-
lures had he passed? Now that he had
come home, forgiving and forgiven,
would he stay? he had been in his
room when she entered 1t with the
roses-must have guessed, if he had
not already known, that she was blind.
Would he guess that she had cared for
there often and often?
Since b had come to the house in
the aSpens Jessica had found the
imagined figure OF Hugh IL dominant
presence in a horizon lightened with
a throng OF new impressions. The
direful catastrophe of her blindness
1t had been the sudden result of an
acciGent-had fallen like a thunderbolt
upon a nature elastic and joyous. 1t
had brought her face to face with q
revelation Of mental agony, made her
feel herself the hapless martyr Of
that curt thing called chance. She had
always lived largely in books and
pictures, and her world was still full
of ideals and Of brave adventures.
Gratitude had made her love the mo-
rose old invalid with his grabbed tenn
pers, and the wandering son, choosing
for pride's AXE q reSourcelesS battle
with the world-the very mystery Of
his whereabouts-had taken strong
hold Of her imagination. OF the quar-
rel which had preceded Hugh's depar-
ture she had made her own version.
That he should have come back on this
very night, when the disinheritance
she had dreaded had been so nearly
c~onsummated, seemed now to have an
especial and an appealing significance.
Presently she rose, slipped on the
red kimono, and, taking q key from
the pocket of her gown, stole from the
room. She ascended a stairway and
unlocked the door Of a wide, bare at
tic where the moonlight poured
through a skylight in the roof upon an
unfinished statue. In this statue she
had begun to fashion, in the imagined
prodigal son-not the battered and
husk filled wayfarer Of the parable,
but a figure of character and pathos,
erring through youthful pride and
spirit. The unfinished clay no eyes
had seen, for those walls bounded her
especial domain.
When Hugh went shamefacedly up
the stair from the library the artificial
glow that had tingled to his finger tips
had faded. The poise Of mind, the
gertrude of all the faculties of y
and hand that his icy bath had given
him, were yielding. The penalties he
had d~islodged were returning re-en-
forced. He was rapidly becoming
drunk.
He CROPPED his way to his room, turn
ed out the light, threw himself fully
dressed upon the bed and slept the
deep sleep of deferred intoxication.

The later night was very still. and
the moon. lifting like a paper lantern
over the aspen tops. silvered all the
landscape. In its placid radiance the
white house loomed in a ghostly pallor.
The windows of one side we're blank,
but behind the library shade the
Dubious lamp still drowsed like a mon
ster glowworm. From the shadowy
side of the building stretched a narrow
L, its front covered by a rose trellis

with that of the jasmine.

ty as he disentangled himself. Then he
staggered serenely to the rose trellis
and, choosing its angle with an assur-
ance that betrayed ancient practice,
climbed to the upper window, shot its
bolt with a knife and let himself in.
He painstakingly closed both windows
and inner blinds before he turned on
an electric light.
In the room in which he now stood
he had stored his boyish treasures and
shirked his maturer tasks. 1t should

AS Hugh Stires stood looking about
him it seemed for an instant to his

he had been back in that old irrespon-
slble time; the Hugh he had known
then had sprung to his minds eye, an
initiative ldler, with a certain grace
and brilliancy of manner that made
him hail-fellow-well-met, but withal
shallow, fopplsh and incorrigible, a
cheap and shabby imitator of the out
ward manner, not the inner graces. of
good fellowship. Yet Hugh had been
one of his own EAST set" They had
called him "Satan's shadow" a tribute
to the actual resemblance as we'll as
TO the palpable imitation he affected.
Harry shivered a little. The situation
seemed, in antic irony. to be revers-
ing itself. 1t was as If not alone
Hugh, but he, Harry %Sanderson, in the
person of that past of his, was now
brought to bar for judgment in that
room. For the instant he forgot how
utterly characterless Hugh had shown
himself of old, how devoid Of all de-
sire for rehabilitation his present rep-
utation in the town argued him. At
that moment it seemed as if in saving
Hugh from this condemnation, he was
pleading for himself as he had been,
for the further chance which he, but
Tor circumstances, perhaps, had needed
too.
"You," he said, "have lived a life of
just and balanced action. 1t is bred
In the bone. You hate all loose con-
duct, and rightly. You hate it most in
Hugh for the simple reason that he is
your son. The very relation makes it
more impossible to countenance. He
should be like you-of temperate and
prudent habit. But did you and he
start on equal terms? Your grand
father was a Standish; your ancestry
was undiluted Puritan. Did Hugh
have all your fund of resistance? With
me it was the turning of a long lane.
Hugh perhaps has not turned-yet."
A breath Of that past life had swept
anew over Harry, the old shuddering
recoil again had rushed upon him. 1t

ended: "And l have seer how far a

He rose as he spoke and laid the doc

For a moment David Stires sat in
silence. Then he said, with a CLINT Of
the old ironic fire: You should have
been a special pleader, Sanderson.
There's no client too bad for them to
make out q case for! Well-well, we
won't sign tonight. l will read it

For long the old man sat alone, mus

and took up a magazine. He was
thinking of Harry Sanderson.
