Ballot

Washington, June 20.-"Words do
not find themselves at time like this.
| | do not deny that | am very happy"
This was the response of Secretary
| William II. Taft to a request for an eX-
preston of his views on his nomina-
ton for the presidency. The SEN
fences did not come easily. Through
out the afternoon preceding the an
nouncement his nomination the secre-
tary had been laboring under sup
pressed nervous tension. The atmos-
phere of his office was electric with
excitement. Notwithstanding the great
personal interest which he had in the
away, Secretary Taft did not permit
politics to interfere for moment with
his transaction of official business as
secretary of war In the intermis
sions of the receipt of bulletins from
the convention, the secretary disposed
of several important departmental
questions and when his nomination for
the presidency was announced his
desk practically was cleared of import
ant official business.
When the news had been conveyed
to Secretary Taft that he had been
nominated Mrs. Taft rose from
her seat at the secretary's desk and
turned to her husband who was stand
ing at her right 1t was an eloquent
handclasp they gave each other. Mrs.
Taft was bubbling over with happi-
ness. All evidence of the nervous
strain which had been in her face dur
ing the afternoon had disappeared.
The secretary himself laughed with
the joy of a boy. Around both the
secretary and Mrs. Taft their friends
crowded to offer their congratulation.
1t was a happy scene-the realization
Of months of labor and tribulation.

them at any time.

BILE circumstances. He was first sem
to congress in 1887, was reelected in
1882, but was defeated in 1881. In
1873, however, he was returned and
has occupied his seat unintefruptedly
since.
Just as Ohio gave Taft the vote
which brought his total to 491, the
number required to nominate, so New
| York, the home of Sherman, gave him
! the necessary majority when it cast
its IS votes for him. The only names
presented besides that of Sherman
were those of eX-Gov. Murphy of New
Jersey and Gov. Guild of Massachu-
sets, whose state conventions had in
structed for them.
The nomination of a vice president
was the only business before the dele
gates, and as soon as the convention
met the roll of states was begun for
nominating speeches.
Timothy Woodruff of New York
presented the name of James D. Sher.
man. Speaker Cannon of Illinois sec
onded the nomination.
The name of Curtis S. Guild of Mas
sachusetts was presented by Senator

ination eX-Gov. Franklin Murphy of
that state.
Harry Skinner, delegate from
North Carolina, seconded the nomina-
ton of Sherman.
A ballot was had and the result was
announced by Chairman Lodge to be:
Sherman, SIG; Murphy, n; Guild, 10;
Sheldon, 10; Fairbanks, 1. Absent, /.
The big picture of Sherman was up
raised as soon as the result was an
nounced, and for five minutes the con-
vention was in an uproar.
Shall the nomination be made
unanimous?" said Chairman Lodge,
and he recognized Senator Crane of
Massachusetts, who made a motion in
accordance with the chairmans Ques-
ton, in behalf of Gov. Guild; New
Jersey and Nebraska quickly trailed
on, and when teh motion was put it
was carried with a shout of approval.
The usual motions of acknowledge
ment to the officers of the convention,
and TO the city in which it was held,
were passed.
Judson W. Lyon of Georgia was rec
ognized to make the motion to ad-
iourn without delay. 1t was put into
effect at 11:17 O'Clock. The band
played THE Star Spangied Banner"
the delegates rapidly left the hall, and

CHAPTER Xx.-Continued.

DOC! Doc Lockhart. Some one
send Doc over here quick? Gordon s
office. Be quick about it," he cried,
in a loud, firm voice. Then he closed
the door and locked it. In response
to his call footsteps were heard run
ming. The door was tried. Then came
loud knocking and voice demanding
admittance.
mo one can come in but Doc" cried
Langford through the keyhole. Send
him quick, somebody, for Gods sake!
Where's Jim Munson? He'll get him
here. Quick, I tell you'll"
He FASTENED back to the side of his
friend and passed his hand gently over
the right side to find the place
whence came that heartbreaking drip.
Disappointed in their desire to get in
men crowded before the window.
Louise stepped softly forward and
drew the blind between him and the
mass of curious faces without. She
was very pale, but quiet and self
possessed. She had rallied when
Langford had whispered to her that
Gordon's heart was still beating. The
doctor raped loudly, calling to Lang
ford to open. Paul admitted him and
then stepped out in full sight of all,
his hand still on the knob. The late
moon was just rising. A faint light
spread out before him.
Boys" he cried, great grief in his
,ctern voice, its murder Dick Cor
don's murdered. Now get-you know
what for-and be quick about it,"
, They laid him gently on the floor,
took off his coat and cut away the
blood-soaked shirts. Louise assisted
with deft, tender hands. Presently
the heavy lids lifted, the gray eyes
stared vacantly for a moment-then
smiled. Paul bent over him.
What happened, old man." the
wounded man whispered gropingly. 1t
required much effort to say this little,
and a shadow of pain fell over his
face.
Hush, Dick, dear boy" said Lang
ford, with catch in his voice. You're
all right now, but you mustn't talk.
You're too weak. We are going to
move you across to the hotel"
But what happened?" he insisted.
You were shot, you know, Dick.
Keep quiet now! I'm going for a
stretcher."
Am 1 done for?' the weak voice
kept on. But there was no fear in it.
You will be If you keep on talking
like that"
Obeying a sign from the doctor he
slipped away and out. Gordon closed
his eyes and was still for long time.
His face was white and drawn with
suffering.
Has he fainted?' whispered Louise.
The eyes opened quickly. They fell
upon Louise, who had not time to
draw away. The shadow of the old
sweet smile came and lowered around
his lips.
Louise" he whispered.
"Yes, it is l." she said. laying her
hand lightly on his forehead. You
must be good until Paul gets back"
I'm done for, so the rest OF the
criminal calendar will have to go over.
You can go back to-God's country
sooner than you thought"
81 am not going back to-God's
country" said Louise, unexpectedly.
She had not meant to say it, but she
meant it when she said It.
Come here. close to me, Louise"
said Gordon, in a low voice. He had
forgotten the doctor You had better
III get up IL you don't. Closer still.
I want you to-kiss me before Paul
gets back"
Louise grew white. She glanced hes
itatingly at the doctor, timidly at the
new lover in the old man. Then she
ssz. over him where he lay stretched
