cepton committee each eager TO be the first to
greet the man who might be president and-have
political favors to bostow. They swarmed forward
and clutched the candidates hand as If they had
been endangered for touch of his palm, and were
the only ones in all the world who loved him. They
tried to talk all together and each appeared to
have very confidential news TO impart. They hus-
tied him down from the bridge, and gathered close
around him, straning their necks to get into close
proximity so that their faces might appear close
to his in the inevitable photographs Dick saw that
Grace was trying TO escape, but that she was pow
eress. Cameras clicked, the noise broke out again;
and the candidate his daughter and the closest adj
vsers, including the redfaced congressman, were
waited toward the gang-way. Dick had no oppor-
tunity to bid her goodbye. He made his way to
the rail, and that from the deck OF the trim
launch far below she looking anXiously up.

thing back which was drowned in the babel of
noise, waved her handkerchief for him only, and
carried away to the waiting yacht.
