A LITTLE FOR REPUBLICANS

Republi 'an rca,iar, if you do not Ell
dorse and uphold the tariff bill us the
best bill that ever passed, President
Taft has accommodated you with bell,
book aud candle; Speaker Cannon has
read you out of the party and Senator
Aldrlch has cast yUu out into political
darkness. These three who are in pre-
sent control of the party. have spoken
and you are free to act according to
your best lights. The only way to make
the Republican party stand for your
views is to dcp0Sc such leaders by de-
teating them. The only way to defeat
them is to vote the Democratic ticket.
Suppose you swallow your wrath and
humiliation ami for rcsularityS sake
vote for the high tariff gang under in

THE CERTIFIED CHECK

ABEL LOR1NG, senior partner OF Lor1ng q
~ Co., of the largest and most influential
4 = firms in the financial district, hung up the
receiver and turned from the telephone with an
expression of keen annoyance on his kindly face.
Touching a button the side of his desk, he said
to the alert young woman who answered the sum-
mons:
Miss Marshall, please place memorandum con-
spicuousy on Mr. Carleton s desk to come to me the
instant he reaches the office He is expected back
from Chicago this morning and should be here now
only he isn't"
Yes, he is.
The door had opened to admit the junior member
of the firm lust in time to let him catch the latter
part of Lorng's instructions to his secretary.
Anything gone wrong?' Carleton asked, as he
greeted the elder man cordially, with pleasant
smile for the secretary, who flushed slightly she
acknowledged his sautation and returned to her
desk in the outer office.

If Lessing was the forger there seemed to be no
possible escape for him. Even if he got clear away
with the money he could never hope to return to
New York and Carleton wondered if the man $
affairs were in such desperate straits that he had
actually been driven to overt crime in order to raise
funds with which to escape from the country and go
into hiding. 1t hardly seemed possible. There was
apparently no indication of anything wrong at
Lessng's office, and Lessing himself had been in Chi
cago only the day before, operating openly in the
wheat market. Carleton had known that the man
was crook by nature since their college days,
when he had caught his cassmate in financial irregu
larities that had brought about Lessngs expulsion
but he believed that the broker was far too clever
now to present for payment check that he himself
had forged. .
