we devoted most of tho brief session
to getting acquainted with each other.
I confess to a feeling of pride when
I took the official chair that was to be
mine for the next -four or Ave months,
The formal seal a been put p my
rehabilitation and instead of obeying
orders I was now one to give them.
My desk was next to the aisle on my
left, and the man on my right was a
bushy- whiskered farmer of middle age
from the part OF the State that we call
the Pennyroyal, Thomas J.. Peden by
NAME. He leaned over to me just after
Warfleld finished his speech n said:
I'VE must be friends, Clarke; 1 can't
quarrel with a man from whom I've
got to borrow postage stamps all
through the session."
81 agreed, but I was sure that 1
should like him on his own account.
Many OF these farmers conceal a lot
of shrewdness and penetration under a
rustic appearance, and bad grammar
doesn't always mean either bad morals
or bad judgment.
l was or the right hand side of the
House and Harrison was on the left,
with several of the Louisville members
about him. I soon saw that he was
going to be q power on the floor. His
wonderful self-command, his light
ironi manner, inc his keenness of at
tack and retort quickly made him
feared and admired.
About this time occurred an incident
that gave me a shiver. Every new
legislator feels it his duty to investi-
gate everything.
Nothing would satisfy some of the
new members but a trip through the
penitentiary. Surely they would lis
cover great evils there. Perhaps the
warden or deputies had been flogging
convicts to death; it was impossible to
say what atrocities might not be IN
covered. 7 was asked to go along and
l consented. Peden also was of the
party.
For the second time in my life / en-
tered the great gates of the peniten-
tiary, but now as an honored guest,
and I felt a singular iningling of emo
tons. Of shame and OF pride, of APP
~prehensior and of confidence. ] did
not notice until / was inside that Har-
rison had Joined US.
The same warden who had received
me and who had given me back my
money and civilian clothing when l left
led us now. 7 was introduced to him
and he looked pleasantly into my face,
but he did not know me from Adam.

predatory fangs were hidden,

predatory fangs were hidden.
Thus the days passed and Harrison
followed Alicia about, respectfully at
tentive and most silent. l knew that
he helped her with Grey; hat is he
kept the man out of her way nearly
all the while, and at other times
soothed and modified his rough spirit.
But I knew all the time hat Harrison
a helping Grey with Pauline Har-
mon, furthering the intrigue and MAX
ing the road smooth for II. Shreds of
gossip about the two, Enthusiastically
true, fioated to me now and then, and
Grey was seen more seldom thai ever
in the company of his own wife.
When the midsummer heats arrived
I went back to Carlton, and was re-
ceived by Uncle Paul and Aunt Jane
as their own son who could now be
trusted without reserve.
Perhaps / have not stated before that
] was q rich man, a very rich mar for
our State. I had inherited two thou
sand acres of land in one of the finest
counties, and in the days Of my wild
ness and disgrace Uncle Paul had
guarded it with q wise head and skill
full hand. Moreover, a valuable coal
mine had been recently discovered on
some neglected slopes Of mine far out
in the mountains and large revenues
we're now coming in from that source.
Thus l did not practise the law be-
cause I needed money, but because I
liked the profession, and because I
thought l could be OF service in it.
The regular elections were held in
November, and I was present at my
own, mere formality though the latter
was, as Sumpter county is heavily
Democratic. Then I went back to
Louisville and found, to my great sur
prise, that Harrison also was to be a
member of the next Legislature. The
nominee in his district a been sud-
denly stricken by a fatal illness. His
death occurred only two days before
the election, and there was a great
s~eurrying about to find q nan to take
his place. Some one jokingly men
toned Harrison. and when the joke
was passed on TO him he amazed them
all by accepting.
The autumn passed quickly. and
winter, clear and very cold, came in its
place. The mercury went down to zero
and thick ice formed or Gil the
streams. The Legislature al to meet
as usual on the last day of the year,
and after the Christmas holidays with
Uncle Paul and Aunt Jane l went down
to Frankfort on the day before the
calling of the session.
