What is the intent, the prime motive

the Legislature elect the successor o.
Senator McEnery, deceased?
It is true that this succession shoulc

ton. but such a primary would havt
unquestionably disarranged the pro

 It was Mrs. Tomln turn to be speechiesS. Such reiniff she never had known before And slang, too The girl Tt to be adyS maid.
 Peter Tomlins however, had sense of humor-not strong enough of humor to have any material effect upon his business operations but still enough to make the story of his wifes dscomiturc diycrtng. He decided that girl who could so cevcrly and SIS nally defeat his wife must be interesting, Besides he had an idea that she would not be difficult in the hands oi d rcsourcefu man. and 1t would be gratifying to niu where his wife had failed.
 "I Il be in that vicinity on other business next week. he said and I'll have talk with her IS she pretty

 Well. I'll try her.. he announced
 Better give chance, sugscsted Paul TomlIns
 No" said his mother decidedly which served to convince Paul that the girl worth seeing, even If she had no air of ari>tccTag.
 So Peter Tomlins followed Mrs Tomlins and he had better success, although he went about hls task in entirely different way.
 Business is businos~ he said brcezily. My agent did quite right in making the best bargain he could hut l understand how you feel about It Now, ve come down here to hN up

 Well when you do, just file claim r and let me know. he said T don't want to be turned ont with chl. as Mrs Toni'ns was, so won't make any offer of that kind She meant we'll but she made mistake, and the idea of Mrs Tomlins being jared that way is funny Now I'll make you present."
 T don't want any presents, she interrupted quickly "I mean he explained, that Ill add enough to the option price to give you better value for the property.
 Charity" she queried.
 "Oh. l would hardly call it that. or course have the option. and don't have to do it
 Then dontl" she exclaimed hotly- ~I don't want any favors from you at all, I'd rather fight you. and l will You tried to swndlc my father. and now you'd like to make charity of justice l won't have it!'
 Fight, fight" repeated Tomlins. if he could hardly believe his But you can't fight. Why, you haven't any weapons
 I've got the telephone" she exclaimed cxcitcdy. T blocked your agent by using the telephone didn't I? And after vour wife here, telephoned to all the neghbors who it that wanted the land and why. That will keep prices pretty stiff. won't it? And when you're gone I'll telephone them thst you offered bonus help you guess that will show them how much you want the land
 Peter Tomns lct his admiration outweigh his d appointment, The girl pretty especially in j-tr monertary anger and she certainly was smart Besides, before remarked, this hs dream and he could afford to wait until prices down.

 "l think so. she said.

 He had not intended to get to the point so soon, intending study the situation and the girl little first but she seemed to be intent upon forcing matters and of course there was no denying the real purpose O.. his visit. Still he found time pass a favorable verdict on the girl and get peasurabe sensation from the contemplation Of the task that lay before him 1her, would be real sport Tn overcoming this girl and he thought he knew how to do 1t. At the same timc he decided mpulsivey that he, personally would that she received tair. generous, price for the farm ultimately. He realized that he would be glad to be good to her
 For her part, she taking mental inventory of him and her conclusion was that hls call wa prefer confidence to be wholly acceptable.
 He went about his plan cautiously: it necessary that he should work out the prelimuarles carefully. "I supposc.' he said we might as well get right "Way not:" she returned You didn't expect me think you came merely to sec me, did you:

 Not as 3 freak"
 Well she said, cooring little, I'm not used to being on exhibition so I'll ask you to me. No. no" he protested "I haven't said word about the business yet.
 Why don't you?" she asked disconcertingly
 You won't let me
 Wont let you I'm waiting for you to begin.' His plan not working out just right he endcavored to make fresh start.
 "I want to square father with you hrst, he cx pla'ned. He really means to be fair
 Since wheu?'
 "Why-why-
 "Oh you needn't answer. It's since I blocked his plans to get the rest of the land at a bargain.
 No. no' he insisted. You really do him iujus tice It that fool agent who made all the trouble Father IS ready to be generous in this matter. "Generousl" she exclaimed Oh. yesl I know all about that He got the option in d shameful way but he'll show that he's great and good man by paying almost what the farm is worth.
 Tt isn't generosity at a' he argued fits business and no one is going to think it's anything else. You don't understand business
 Don't ," there bitter sarcasm m her voice. "Oh didn't exactly that he hastily corrected, as he thought of all that had happened. You've made some mighty clever moves in this matter, but you're just little impractical now.
