Politicians AK auestions.

Interest in the outcome OF the campaign
is especially acute on the part of politi-
clans. Every claim on the part of q Cum
Minis man that Governor Cummins will be
elected IS met by the Allison men with the
inquiry: How do you know there are
more progressves than standpatters in
Iowa?" OF course no one does know
There has never been a primary vote be.
tween the progressives and standpatters OF
the republican party Of Iowa. There have
been contests. but they have always been
by the caucus and convention system, and
everyone knows that one candidate foI
president Of the United States some times
gets the plurality of the popular vote
while another candidate Is elected because
he has the most delegates In the electoral
college. In the same way one candidate
can get the majority of the delegates tc
a state convention, while a majority of the
people of the party might favor another.
1t is this fact that there has never
been a primary vote between the pro
gressives and standpatters in Iowa that
is causing politicians of all sides anxiety
and interest in the outcome of the cam
paign in Iowa this year. for while ALI
sons friends are claiming that they viii
elect him with progressive votes there
there is no denying that all the standpa
votes will be for Allison, because in tn,
very nature Of things Jney are opposed
TO Governor Cummins.

CHAPTER XVII.
In a FOREIGN Land.

The groans and prayers, if they con-
tinued, could be heard no longer
through the double doors, and | seated
myself by the desk and took account
of the events that had brought me to
my present position.
Where did | stand? What had l ac-
complished? What had / learned?
How was | to reach the end for which
| struggled and bring justice to the
slayer of my murdered friend? AS
passed in review the occurrences that
had crowded the few weeks since my
arrival, | was compelled to confess
that | knew little more of the mys-
teries that surrounded me than on the
night | arrived. / knew that l was
tossed between two opposing forces.
| knew that mysterious boy was sup
posed to be under my protection, and
that to gain and keep possession of
him my life was sought and defended.
/ knew that Doddridge Knapp had
caused the murder of Henry Wilton,
and yet for some unfathomable reason
gave me his confidence and employ
ment under the belief that | was Hen
ry Wilton. But | had been able to get
no hint of who the boy might be, or
where he was concealed, or who was
the hidden woman who employed me
to protect him. or why he was sought
by Doddridge Knapp.
How long | sat by the desk waiting,
thinking, planning, | knew not One
scheme of action after another l had
considered and rejected, when sound

door into the middle room. The sec
ond door. as l expected, was closed.
Would the same key fit the second
lock, or must | wait to have another
made? | advanced to the second door
and was about to try the key when a
sound from behind it turned my blood
to water
Beyond that door, from the room |
had supposed to be empty, / heard a
groan.
| stood as If petrified, and, in the
broad daylight that streamed in at the
window, with the noise and rush of

more. but heard nothing

Then the groan burst forth again,
and IL was followed by sobs and
choked sounds, as OF one who protest.
ed, yet, strangely, the voice was the
same. There was one man, not two. 1t
was self-accusation, self-excuse, and
the sobs seemed to come in answer to
self-reproaches.
Then there was sound as OF a man
praying, and the prayer was broken
by sobs; and again I thought there

There was no trace of surprise or
