The Governor gently took her

suffocating him. He walked mechan-
ically about the room, hating at the
window to look out upon the flowers.
What did she mean?" the girl
asked again.

CHAPTER TX.
The Governors Sunday.

All night a gentle rain had fallen;
coming of dawn and the sun shone
bright upon an ideal Sunday morn
ling. Roses breathed their perfumed
secrets upon the soft air; the local
poet dreamed, and the music Of the
bells was sweet. The pathways lead
ing to the churches were ablaZe with
ribbons, FOR the dammed-up finery,
held back by the war, had broken
loose and flooded society.
Governor Crance sat upon the
broad veranda enjoying a cigar,
while a steady stream Of church-go-
ers flowed past him. No one noticed
him. Every eye was averted. "The
forbidden earth," he unused, as he
glanced about the spacious grounds,
and his memory brought back the
prosy sermons of long ago in the lit
tie white church Of an Illinois ham,
let.
Aren't you going to church,
chimed a girlish treble, as Nellie
came bounding out Of the house.
ITO church," echoed the Carpet
Dagger, with a peculiar intOnation In
voice. mo"
why not?"
"I-I-never go to church down
here"
What! Never go to church at
al?"
The Governor shook his head.

teach forgiveness"

stinct,'-he said-"A pity, that you
were motherless."
Jim came in with a card. It bore
the name Rev. Jacob Williams
The Governor glanced at it and hesi-
tated. "Well," he finally said, "let
him come in"
An old man entered the room. One
glance of the Governors shrewd eye
established his honesty.
"Sit down, Mr.. Williams. What
can 1 do for you?"
You can avenge a great wrong, "
the old man replied.
What is it,"
1T involves the telling Of a brief
story, sir. But it shall be very brief.
Not far from here there is a gam

"They are all over town." the Gov
ernor interrupted.
"I know it, sir; but it is of this es-
pecial one at 102 Mason Street, that

The Major began to swell with in
dignation. 1T may please you, sir,
to indulge in vulgar f1ippancy at a
time like this, but 1t does not meet
the ISSUE"
Meeting an issue rs all right, Ma
jor; but what's the use in breaking
your neck trying to overtake one?"
1--WE charge you sir, with most
damnable corruption in Office. You
have plundered and pillaged this
stricken state, intrusted to your
keeping. You have oppressed our
people. You have ruled without JUS
tice and without mercy. And against
this record, sir, you must defend
yourself"
The Governor smiled. "If I'm that
sort Of fellow, why should you
want to meet me anywhere? Even
on the stump"
But I will meet you, sir, to wrest
your sitting clutch from the throat
Of this PROSTATE commonwealth"
"Good!" exclaimed the Governor.
you'd have made a great auction
eer. 1t wouldn't be safe. though, for
me to meet you on the stump can
see that. We might get excited and
I probably. would forget myself and
auction you off. Why, I'd trot you
up and down in front of, the people a
few times and knock you down to
the highest bidder. Have cigar?"
The Major, livid with anger.
snatched the proffered cigar, broke
it in two and throwing 1t upon the
floor, trampled upon the pieces.
Then, brushing his hands together,
he said with evident effort:
"Sir, I shall not be diverted from
my purpose by any personal indlgni-
ty which you may see fit to inflict
upon me. This issue is one which
transcends personal considerations,
and I do not forget that sacred
ship. But, sir, I warn you that the
day Of settlement is at hand. You
may not meet me on the stump; but
you must face the outraged people
of this sovereign commonwealth at
the polls. And the people do the
voting!"
The Governor had seated himself
on a corner Of his desk. He looked
up with a smile.

He looked at the tears on his daugh-

about, tell him to come here"
He's out dar now, sah.''
The Governor said nothing. walk

voice strangely low for him: "Go to

tell him to close up 102 Mason Street.

Of the place two hours to get out of
