 As he made this explanation, with slight pause which meant the recol- lection of his promise to Jim Harbor- ough, Major CadwaIlader Hunter went by, walking slowly, and, having long distance ears, heard as he passed. He was waiting for his chance to ''nobble'' Lord Loveland, and afterward he re- membered those few last words which he had caught.
 "I'H go and look for the other Love land chatr,' said the girl
 ''You must do nothing of the sort, g exclaimed Val.
 ''Oh, it's easy to see you're an Eng Ifshman. American men don't order us about like that"
 Loveland laughed '1 didn't order you about. I ordered you to sit stfll.''
 That's just as bad. You have the air of being used to give orders."

 ''Or ought I to speak of you as Cap tain Loveland?' she broke off to ask. 'I'm not captain yet" answered Val He did not explain that neither was he ''dr." He left her to discover that fact for herself by and by.
 When the chair of Mrs. Loveland had been indicated, as it soon was by 8 tactleSs deck steward, the girl was obstinate in her determination to seek it. Val went with her, carrying the rug and the book, but as there was no vacant place on either side of the new chair he was obliged presently to go back to his own. And it was on the way back that Major Cadwa1lader Hunters chance came

Then he hurried on, ''I am Major Cadwalla der Hunter''-
 
 said LoveIand ru3ely. He thought that his uninvited companion looked like bore, and he had never yet suffered a bore gladly. A flash of reflection told | him that he possessed no envelope in Jim's or Betty's handwriting addressed | to Major Cadwaflader Hunter. The | fellow would hardly be so mildly in | gratiating if he were a millionaire with | daughters to guard, and Val resented I trumped up claim of connection. | Cadwallader Hunter could swallow a snub with 8 smile, but never would he forgive the snubber.
 | He smiled now, but if Lord Loveland had not been Lord Loveland-
 'I'm a distant relative of Jimmy | Harborough's,' he explained, ''and I generally run over to London for a 1 few weeks in the season. Jim seems to be as popular on your side the water as on his own-''
 Loveland did not trouble himself to reply. If Jim had thought this alleged relative an interesting or profitable person for him to know, the name of Major Cadwal1ader Hunter would probably have been on one of the in- troduction envelopes
 Undismayed by the chilling silence, | Cadwallader Hunter still walked by Lord Love1and's side and pratt1ed- His next sentence hinted that he possessed in some degree the quality of clair voyance.
 '1 suppose Jim's given you lots of l letters,,' he continued, "but it'ss not likely there's one to me. Pm a mere bachelor xand therefore must take a

Still, in my own small way can be useful to strangers and should be glad to be useful to you I am, by the bye, a great admirer of your cousin, charming Lady Betty, and, if you'll allow me to say so, there's strong family resemblance between you If this is your first time on our side you don't know the ropes yet, and you must let me tell you anything you care to hear-about people, about places, about hotels. can begin, for instance, by telling you who is who on this ship There are several of our millionaires."
 LoveIand's handsome young face lost its frozen stare. He had taken a dis like to Cadwallader Hunter, but it was not so serious a dislike that he could not bury it. He wanted to know sev-e eral things which this man might be able to tell, but most of all he wanted to know about Mrs. Loveland's niece.
 ''I know almost everybody on board" went on the Amerfcan-"that is, every body who counts"
 "Who is that man walking with the tall girl in gray2'' Val deigned to fn- uuire as his first choice among the beauties of the ship came in sight. 'Is he some one of importanceW
 CadwaIlader Hunter naturally 'un- derstood that it was the girl, not the man, in whom Loyeland was interest ed. '"That is Judson R. Coolidge" he replied, "and 1t is Miss Elinor Coo idge, his only child, who is with him. He is a rich man, though not one of our richest-made his money in the 1eir iv If cago But Miss Elinor, whom he adores, runs him Ghe mothers dead),. and as the girl knows her market value she's induced her father to take a big house in New York and cottage at Newport Would you care to meet them?"
 Thanks, yes, a little later,' answer ed Val, very civi1ly for him.
 'oThere are several other pretty young women on board," said CadwaIlader Hunter.
 4'So I've noticed,' said Loveland.
 "Ah, men of your country appreciate the charming women of ours! You've carried away many of our fairest flow CTS and some of the best worth pluck ing"
 "tIs that a pun7' asked Love1and, staring at his companion to see if he had the impotence to mean anything.
 Major Cadwallader Hunter filtered.
 'Oh, dear, I see what you mean. But, no, indeed; was quite innocent of any double entendre. I was merely trying my best to be poetical, I assure you. There was no question of pluck ing in the interna tonaI alliances of British titles and American dollars l had in mind-a familiar and, to my idea, suitable combinat tion- But per haps you dtsapprove of international marriages?"
 'tNot l." said Val
 The tone told Cadwa11ader Hunter all that he wanted to learn. He now knew, if he had not been practically sure before, that Lord LoveIand was ] in search of a rich wife. He saw his way to earning considerable kudos in playing bear leader to young and un- usually good looking British peer, and he determined to become that bear leader, whether the bear yearned for his leadership or not

DEMOCRATS GREAT VICTORY.
Ispecia, to The Sentinel.

Denver, May lS.-The democrats
swept the city OF Denver yesterday,
winning a great victory in the face
of the citizens ticket tthe Patterson
ticket, which drew largely from the
democratic ranks). and In the face OF
the strong organization and hard
fight made by the republicans. The
victory for the democrats in this
three-cornered fight was practically
overwhelming.
The republicans and the citizens
ticket were almost showed under,
while the regular 6emocratic-busi-
ness mems ticket, backed by the dem
ocratic organization, headed by Mayor
Speer, won out nearly all the way
down the line.
The three most important officials
elected are the election commission
ers. The victors are:
| Harry Petrie, democrat.
| George Junk, democrat.
| Ellis Meredith, citizens.
| Miss Meredith Is the first woman
election commissioner ever chosen in
| this city or in any other western city.
Next in importance come the su-
Deryisors All are democrats as fol-
lows.

In the aldermanic races the demo-
Gratis elected all but two candidates
in the city, the republicans securing
one office and the citizens (Patter-
SOM ticket one office.

Union Water Company a 20-year
