In Politics.

Jay GaynOr Of New York is

Gsynor Born on Farm.
Mayor Gaynor's career was that of
n farmer boy who rose by sheer fnrre
and ambition 10 an enviahle position
N the bar. on the bench aud in poll
tics. His success as an executive was
marked in the comparatively short
time he ruled New York before James
J. Gallagher threw the nation into ex-
element by shooting the Gotham
mayor on the deck OF the German
liner
Mayor Gaynor started his political
career early on the basis of the old
fashioned town meeting. and on the
efficiency OF that factor in the system
of popular government he based his
confidence all through his career. right
up to his election as mayor of New
York. during his campaign for which

He declined office on several occa-
sions after some of these successes,
hut ran for justice of the supreme
court after the Mclaughlin machine
had been started on the run. and his
triumphant election with the Brooklyn
city ticket led to the final overthrow Of
that machine.
While on the bench he continued his
political activities both as citizen and
magistrate. not hesitating to appeal to
the popular attention even against the
practices OF his fellow justices. al

Somebody on the edge of the group
asserted that hereafter he would travel
by daylight. glanced up and caught
the eye of the girl in blue.
"They are all mad" she said. Her
tone was low. but heard her distinct
ly. Don't take them seriously enough
to defend yourself"
II am glad you think didn't do It,"
observed meekly, over the crowd
Nothing else is Of any Importance"
The conductor had pulled out his
notebook again. Your name, please"
he said gruf1y
Lawrence Blakeley, Washington"
Your occupation?"
Attorney. A member of the firm
of Blakeley & Mcknight"
Mr.. Blakeley. you say you have
occupied the wrong berth and have
been robbed. Do you know anything

wear this kind of necktie? Do you
suppose I carry purple and green
barred silk handkerchiefs? Would any
man in his senses wear a pair of
shoes full size too small1"

hedge. you will have to grant that
| am in a peculiar position" he said
81 have only your word as to the ex-
change of berths. and you understand
I am merely doing my duty. Are there
any clews in the pockets?"
For the second time I emptied them
that all?" he finished There was
nothing else?"
Nothing"
That's not all, SIR" broke in the
porter, stepping forward. There was
a small black satchel."
That's So" l exclaimed. II forgot
the bag. l don't even know where it
is"
The easily swayed crowd looked sus-
picious again. I've grown so accus-
toned to reading the faces of a Jury,
seeing them swing from doubt to be-
lief, and back again to doubt that
instinctively watch expressions. I saw
that my forgetfulness had done me
harm-that suspicion was reused
again.
The bag was found couple of seats
away, under somebody's raincoat-an-
other dubious circumstance Was I
hiding it? 1t was brought to the berth
and placed beside the conductor, who
opened it at once.
1t contained the usual travelling i'm
pedimenta-change of linen, collars,
handkerchiefs, a bronze-green scarf,
and safety razor. But the attention
Of the crowd riveted itself on a fiat,
Russia leather wallet, around which
a heavy gum band was wrapped, and
which bore in gilt letters the name

He admits that he had the bag

you guess that he wore glasses, any
how" to the amateur sleuth.
That gentleman cleared his throat.
Ihere were two reasons" he said,
for suspecting it. When you see

ing, healthy individual with a pen

sides, this gentleman has pro-
nounced line across the bridge Of his
nose and a mark on his ear from the
chain"
After this remarkable exhibition Of
the theoretical as combined with the
practical, he sank into a seat near by,
and still holding the chain, sat with
closed eyes and pursed lips. 1t was
evident to all the car that the solution
of the mystery was a question of mo-
ments Once he bent forward eagerly
and putting the chain on the window

The pounding in my ears began
again. The group around me seemed
to be suddenly motionless in the very
act Of moving, as If hypnotist had

looking at me, and above the din
thought she said she must speak to
me-something vital. The pounding
grew louder and merged into scream.
With grinding and splintering the
car rose under my feet. Then it fell
away into darkness.

The Second Section.

The Second Section.
Have you ever been picked up out
OF your three-meals-a-day life, whirled
around In a tornado of events, and
landed In a situation 30 grotesque and
yet so horrible that you laugh even
while you are groaning, and straining
at Its hopelessness? Mcknight says
that is hysteria, and that no man
worthy of the name ever admits to it.
Also, as Mcknight says, it sounds
like tank drama. Just as the revolv-
Ing saw is about to cut the hero into
stove lengths, the second villain blows
up the sawmill. The hero goes up
through the roof and alights on the
bank of a stream at the feet Of his
lady love, who is making daisy chains.
Nevertheless, when I was safely
home again, with Mrs. Klopton brew
ing strange drinks that came in paper
packets from the pharmacy, and that
smelled to heaven, l remember stag
gering to the door and closing it, and
then going back to bed and bowling
out the absurdity and the madness of
the whole thing. And while / laughed
my very soul was sick, for the girl
was gone by that time, and knew by
all the loyalty that answers between
men for honor that I would have to
put her out of my mind.
And yet, all the night that followed,
filed as it was with the shrieking de-
mons of pain. saw her as | had seen
her last, in the queer hat with green
ribbons. l told the doctor this, guard
edly, the next morning, and he said it
was the morphia, and that l was lucky
not to have seen a row of devils with
green tails
| don't know anything about the
wreck of September 9 last. You who
swallowed the details with your coffee
and digested the horrors with your
chop, probably know great deal more
than l do I remember very distinctly
that the jumping and throbbing in my
arm brought me back to world that
at first was nothing but sky, a heap of
clouds that l thought hazily were the
meringue on a blue charlotte russo.
As the sense of hearing was slowly
added to vision, | heard woman near
me sobbing that she had lost her hat
pin, and she couldn't keep her hat on.
l think I dropped back into uncon-
sciousness again, for the next thing
l remember was of my blue patch of
sky clouded with smoke, of a strange
roaring and cracking, of rain of
fiery sparks in my face and of some
body beating at me with feeble hands
l opened my eyes and closed them
again: The girl in blue was bending
over me. With that imperviousness
to big things and keenuess to small
that is the first effect of shock, tried
to be facetious, when a spark stung
my cheek.
You will have to rouse yourself!"
the girl was repeating desperately.
you've been in fire twice already"
A piece of striped ticking floated slow
ly over my head. AS the wind caught
it its charring edges leaped into flame.
Looks like kite, doesn't it?"
remarked cheerfully. And then, as
my arm gave an excruciating throb-
"Jove, how my arm hurts!"
The girl bent over and spoke slow.

deaf person or a child.
Listen, Mr.. Blakeley,' she said
earnestly. you must rouse yourself
