feared her brother Henry, who, ruined by
a bank failure, had constantly threatened

I did not know. Then she said, very
soberly:
Mr. Gillespie is nothing to me what
ever"
Il thank you for that"
Thank me for nothing, Mr.. Dono-
van. And now goodnight. You are
not to follow me"
"Oh, surely to the gate!"
Not even to the gate. My ways are
very mysterious. BY day 1 am one
person; by night quite another. And

what shall 1 say?-oh, yes!" she
went on, lightly-"as a psychological
fact, I am very different at night from
anything l ever am in daylight. And

me with Aunt Pat in the garden, if

and she met my eyes with a laughing
challenge.

CHAPTER xIII-continued.

She sat back in the chair and folded
her arms. I had not referred in any
way to her transaction with Gillespie;
I had never intimated even remotely
that I knew of her meeting with the
tha's pier; and felt that those Incl
dents were ancient history.
1T was corking hot this afternoon.
l hope you didn't have too much ten
mis-"
No; it was pretty enough fun,'' she
remarked, with so little enthusiasm
that l laughed.
You don't seem to recall your vic
tory with particular pleasure. 1t seems
to me that l am the one to be shy of
the subject. How did that score
stand?"
81 really forget-I honestly do" she
laughed.
That's certainly generous; but
don't you remember; as we walked
along toward the gate after the game,
that you said"
"Oh, I can't allow that at all! What
said yesterday or to-day is of no i'm
portance now. And particularly at
night am likely to be minded,
and my memory is poorer then than at
any other time"
'T am fortunate in having an ex-
cellent memory"
For example?"
For example, you are not always
the same; you were different this aft
ernoon; and 1 must go back to our
meeting by the seat on the bluff, for
the Miss Holbrook of tonight"
That's all in your imagination, Mr.
Donovan. Now. if you wanted to
prove that I'm really"
Helen Holbrook," I supplied, glad
of chance to speak her name.
''If you wanted to prove that am
who 1 am" she continued, with new
animation, as though at last something
interested her, how should you &c
about it?'
please ask me something difficult!
There is, there could be, only one
woman as fair, as interesting, as Who'll
ly charming"
'I suppose that is the point at which
you usually bow humbly and wait fol
applause; but 1 scorn to notice any
thing so commonplace. If you were
going to. prove me to be the same
person you met at the Annandale sta
ton, how should you go about it?"
We'll. to be explicit, you walk like

But you know well enough that
did not mention it with such

SALARY FOR JOB.
Governor McGovern Spent More for
Election Than Salary Amounts to.

Francis E. McGovern, governor
elect of Wisconsin expended $12,276.4S
in order to become chief executive of
the state according to the statemer :
of expenses filed by him with the
secretary of state at Madison yester-
day. Of the total amount about $4,000
was spent in organization work, for
stamps and for printing. The remand
er was spent for travelling expenses
and salaries.
The position of governor pays an
annual salary of $4,000 and as Mr..
McGovern was elected for the term of
two years he will receive III salary $1O.-
900 or $2,276.48 less than it cost him
to be elected to the gubernatorial chair
of Wisconsin. The defeated candidates
on the republican ticket spent as much
and more than did Mr.. McGovern. Capt.
Lewis expended $4,000 in his cam
paign.
The governor-elect although com
paratlvely poor man, cares little for
the money he expended to be elected.
He spent as much when he sought the
election to the United States senate
but was defeated by Isaac Stephensoa
After his defeat McGovern turned his
eyes on the gubernatorial chair and
on Jan. /, he will occupy that chair.
Much interest is being taken in the
matter of appointments by the COVER
nor-elect. There are several lucrative
positions to be handed out but Mr..
McGovern is too busily engaged in at
tending conventions in foreign states
TO make any announcement as to whom
he will appoint to these positions when
he becomes governor.

President Taft May Name a
Badger Jurist for Place on
U. S. Supreme Court
MENTION WINSTON AND BROWN

\ President Taft may select Wiscon-
sin man for one of the vacancies on the
Supreme court of Che United States.
1t was learned that the names of at
least two we'll known Wisconsin iur-
lists have been suggested to the presi-
dent, and it is known that one of these
men is now being seriously considered
for associate judge.
1t is understood that the man now
under consideration is democrat, and
although his name has not been made
public, it is said that his selection
would be hailed in the Badger state
with general approval.
Although Mr.. Taft has not intimated
TO any of his callers what he intends
doing in filling the vacancies on the
nation's highest court, it is believed
that ne has narrowed the list of renub-
licans to three or four men. His pres
emf plan is to name a democrat for one
of the vacancies, and it is in this con-
nection Wisconsin man is now being
considered.
The publication on Wednesday of a
letter from Senator La Toilette to the
president, in which the Wisconsin sen
ator practically declined to visit the
White house to confer on judicial an
pointments, caused a stir in political
circles. All the other leading senate
insurgents/have been White house call
ers Ill the last few days. 1t was an
nounced at the White house that the
president was not responsible for the
publication of Senator La Toilette =
letter. 1t was explained that -fnasmucb
as Wisconsin man was being consider
ed for a judicial appointment the presi
dent thought it proper to consult the
senators from that state, and that the
note of invitation to Mr.. La Toilette
was sent by ontof the assistant eeere-
taries by Mr.. Taft 5 direction.
MIR. La Follette's note is regarded
as certain indication that he will
not be a White house visitor as long as
Mr.. Taft is president. Senator steph-
enson saw Mr.. Taft on Wednesday on
ia number of Wisconsin matters, in
Guiding the selection of a Wisconsin
man for the Supreme court. Former
Senator John g. spooner also saw Mr..
Taft.
It is reported that the democrat re-.
ferred to is Neal Brown of Wausau.
Justice 7Ninslow of the Wisconsin
Supreme court is also mentioned for
the position.
