a HAPPY AUGURY.

More enthusiasm among the rank
and file of the Republican party in
Salt Lake county has never been
shown than that which prevailed Fri
day night and yesterday. The activity
show at the primaries. whore dele
gates TO the county convention tomor-
row were chosen, was more pro-
nounced than it has been for some
time. There were healthy contests in
every district in the city. The Re-
puhlicRns in the various districts came
out in greater numbers than has been
the case for several years. II Is an
earnest OF party activity at the polls
on November s. And that is all that
is necessary 10 insure a Republican
victory.
Most gratifying to every member OF
the party is the knowledge that the
delegates represent the wishes Of their
constituents more thoroughly perhaps
than has been the case for years. The
sharp rivalry among the candidates
for several OF the county Offices
brought a strong representation TO the
primaries The Republican voters
went 70 their meeting places in the
various districts and voted for dele
gates who they believed would vote
for the candidates the voters desired to
favor for the nominations.
The result is that the convention to-
morrow will represent the combined
will Of the Republican voters of Salt
Lake county. The men who are nom
mated will have the satisfaction OF
knowing that they fairly defeated
their opponents and that they are
chosen the nominees by the majority
OF their party The unsuccessful can
didates. and unfortunately there
must be some OF these, will realize
that they were honestly beaten. and
that they We're given a square deal
There was a fight for delegates in
each district OF the county. 1t was
a fair and honest battle.
There were no cut-and-dried pro
ceedings In any of the districts such
as characterize the proceedings Of the
party OF hate that has an opposing
ticket. There may have been attempts
az a program here and there, but they
We're not a success and the voters at
the primaries showed plainly that
they would resent anything of the sort
It is a happy augury for success at the
polls.

Of warfare In behalf Of the platform
as chosen by that convention in behalf
of the candidates who are nominated
to stand on that platform. and who
will be elected by the people Of that
great state in November.
And the delegates are not alone on
that platform. Colonel Roosevelt is
with them. He stands squarely upon
that declaration of principles. and the
former President is under test just as
surely as the candidates whom he
nominated for the state offices in New
York He is in full control Of the Re
publican state organization in New
York, Just as he was of the conven-
ton. The old guard was beaten. The
new state chairman will be a Roose-
welt man. He will be one of the I'M
mediate followers of the strenuous
citizen of oyster Bay, and he will be
one of the admirers of President Taft,
because Mr.. Roosevelt himself is
aligned thoroughly with the President
It is up to Mr.. Roosevelt to carry
New York this fall. The open brutali-
ty that Tammany's leader showed in
controlling the Democratic convention,
and the upstate soreness engendered
by the ruthless policies of Tammany,
will help Mr.. Roosevelt. President
Taft threw the weight of his admins
tration into the scale in behalf Of his
former chief in his bitter warfare
with the old guard. The President,
after several talks with Colonel Roose-
Welt, fully understood the situation. He
received from the colonel the most
careful assurances that he is in the
ranks of the Republican party. fight

and traditions of the party. In a party

"Give three reasons why ShylOck

"Shylock hated Antonio because he

tasted sparingly from her scanty store
and resumed her post at the wheel.
She was tired and sleepy, but while
the little engine was alive she could
not leave it to its own devices. She
must hold on her chosen course as
long as the motive power remained.
She could not lose a moment while
that motor throbbed and beat. She
must be alive with 1t. There would
be time to sleep when 1t was ex.
hausted. She must put as many
leagues between her and pursuit by
holding the direct course as long as
was possible.
And so she sat there grimly, hands
clutching the wheel through the long
day and through the longer night and
well into the following morning. It
must have been half past ten on the
morning of the second day before the
motor stopped The silence, after the
ceaseless drumming of night, long
day, a longer night and a still longer
morning, struck her with the same
strange sense of shock. She calculated
that the motor had been running for
3S hours and that she had gone $50
miles at least on her course. She had
seen nothing whatever of the yacht.
The chances that it would pick her
up, even if it came about and cruised
for her, a lonely speck in the ocean,
were millions to nothing At any rate,
she had done all she could. Her phil.
osophy for once stood her in good
stead. There was nothing more to be
done. She was dead for want Of
sleep. The sky had been slightly over
cast since she had left the yacht, but
there had been no storm and weather

deed they had been drained of the last
drop, she carefully closed and locked
them, thereby assuring her salvation,
and spreading the boat cloak in the
stern sheets with her bag for a pillow
and her straw hat tied over her face
to shield it from the sun, she instantly
dropped to sleep.

CHAPTER W-contlnued.

She began to realize how helpless
she was. Under the inspiration of a
belief, which was as honest as it was
mistaken, she had put herself in the
power of this man. Even If she were
ashore, there would be no one to
whom she could appeal, and here on
the ship she was helpless. Lingering
remains of better things had kept him
from the last resort of the tyrant-
force!-but how long these would be
operative in restraint she could not
tell. She fancied not for long. What
should she do then? .
She saw the end coming when in his
anger he resorted to drink, to drink
which exploded the last vestige of his
philosophy however he had professed
1t. She was frightened beyond meas
ure when she realized the depths to
which he had sunk and to which, in
spite of herself, he had dragged her.
What further descent was before her?
She did not even yet abandon that
philosophy which had served her so
i'll. She chung to that with the more
tenacious pride because of its very
weakness, but she loathed mankind.
On that yacht he summed up for her
the whole human race, and she hated
him and it. To what sorry pass had a
few weeks practical experience re-
duced her!
She had begged and pleaded with
him to alter the yachts course, but
ae had sworn he would go farther
south into those unknown seas and
keep her there until she crawled to
his feet. So the long hours dragged
on. The inevitable rupture drew
nearer At last it came. In it's details
it was horrible, but there was in ii
a great relief after all.

CHAPTER VII.
The joy Of Freedom.

Cne night at dinner she had fed
from him. He had been drinking more
heavily than usual and was in an ugly
mood His handsome face was flushed,
a savage frown overspread his brow.
He had risen during the meal and with
a coarse endearment had attempted
to lay hands upon her-at last! She
had broken away and darted into the
nearest cabin, which happened to be
his own. She had closed the door and
turned the key against him before he
realized what she was about. She
stood within the little room, painting,
enraged, fearful, yet ready to defend
her all and almost glad the crisis had
arrived. She could hear his drunken
laugh outside the door.
"Why, you little fool" he cried, "do
you think can't break that lock down
In a moment? The ships mine, every
man on it's mine. pay 'em. They
DO my bidding. I have you where
want you and can have you when
please, now-or later"
Was it true? Could she appeal to the
men? But what could she say? AL
though the world knew there was no
binding tie between them, to the Off
GERS and men of the yacht she was his
:7ife. They would not interfere. And
If she declared the truth, she would
put herself beyond the pale of their
sympathies. Being merely stupid men,
with conventional ideas about pro-
priety, in that event they would be
less apt to interfere than ever. 1t was
true she could do nothing. She sank
down on a hassock, clenching her
hands.
AS she sat, her eyes fell on chest

articles of silver. Among them was a
picture, the picture of a woman. It
was not her picture. Moved by what
impulse she did not stop to analyze,
she rose and picked 1t up. The face
she looked at was ineffably vulgar and
common. Across the bottom was writ

CHAPTER VII.
Cast Up BY the Sea.

Day was just breaking again when
the woman awoke. Reference to her
watch which she had taken the pre-
caution to wind just before she re-
tired disclosed the fact that 1t was
four o'clock in the morning. She Aad
slept unbrokenly since IL o'clock the
morning before. Her sleep had been
stupor of utter and complete eXhaus-
ton. Added to the tremendous physi.
cal strain of keeping awake and at
tending to the duty to which she had
enforced herself had been the further
strain of the terrible events on the
night in which she left the yacht, and
the apprehension of pursuit which had
been continually with her. Her first
motion, iEdeed, was to rise to her feet
and scan the horizon. With relief in.

houetted against the circling sky line.
She sat in the boat musing a long
time and then woke to the fact that
she was hungry. Again she satisfied
her appetite sparingly from her scanty
and rapidly diminishing store of food
and drink, and then putting the past
resolutely behind her, hoping and per
haps fancying by some exercise of her
will power finally she could put it be-
hand her forever, she gave serious
thought to her condition.
She realized at last that she in
the hands-another would have said
of God! she said of chance. The fact
that she was so helpless; that all her
learning and all her training, and
all her skill and all her power were
of no avail, made the situation the
more CALLING. Was there nothing
that she could do? She reflected
deeply and as she did so the
breeze sprang up. She judged that
the period during which she had slept
had been calm and still Any violent
rocking of the boat would have awak-
ened her. Indeed, she felt bitterly
cramped and stiff from having lain so
long on the hard floor. which only the
boat cloak, thick and heavy, made
tolerable bed.
The coming Of the breeze stimu-
lated her imagination. II was a gen.
tie breeze. She noticed that 1t blew
from the direction whence she had
come by her compass course. II she
only had a sail Of some kind the boat
would be driven along. She must
move somewhere. She had heard Of
ocean currents and drift but she
doubted whether the boat was moving,
at least sufficiently fast or IN any
definite direction to make any differ
ence. Unless she got somewhere. she
would slowly starve and die Just
where she was. She stepped forward in
the boat and examined the oars. There
was a sort of deck forward over

she might make shift with the remains
