mouth before Gormly had leaped to
tho street and opened the door. He
assisted Miss Stewart to the place he
had vacated. and took her place in the
big roomy tonneau. As soon as the ex-
change had been effected, Haldane
started up the street again.
II am sure now that was aware
Of your presence. Miss Haldane," said
Gormly quietly. "And because Of that
know that never spoke better"
1T was great occasion" was the
reply, "and great occasions make
great speeches"

1T was glorious. You played upon
those people as might play upon"
Me-" said Gormly softly.
upon an instrument of music" con-
tinued the girl. II think your election
Is sure"
II think so too," was the answer:
but am not INDUCING in any over
confidence, and there is to be no
weakening Of effort until the last
minute"
They had by this time reached Four
teenth street. Although it was long
after the ordinary time for the issu-
ance Of the latest editions of the news
papers, newsboys were already crying
accounts Of the episode on the streets,
and papers were being bought eager
~ on every hand.
"Mr. Gormly," she turned suddenly
full upon him, why have you said to
my brother that l must not come to
the store any more to consult you on
business matters?"
my dear Miss Haldane," said CORN.
". Il did that for your sake"
But why?"
II have ascertained that I am be-
Ing shadowed by practically all the de-
tectives of the city hall force; that
am watched constantly; that all my
visitors are noted: and did not wish
to involve you In any notoriety what
soever. Therefore, although I had no
knowledge that you would come or
that you wanted to come, I thought It
proper to advise you through your
brother not to do so"
"Of course I wanted to come" said
the young woman, earnestly. II have
read every scrap pertaining to the
campaign. have done what I could
among such friends a. was axle to
influence to get them to aid you. 1t
was through me that Livingstone
proffered his services. l even tried
my father, but have been unable to
make any impression upon him; and
I wanted to hear from you directly
how things were going"
Il realize all that you have done,
and you can't imagine, Miss Haldane,
how great deprivation it was to me
to send such message, and how hard
a course it was to decide upon"
Il made Livingstone bring us both
down here tonight. But never
dreamed that was going to be the
spectator of such a scene as that
which has just happened. 1 don't be-
lieve there was ever anything more
dramatic or splendid in the history Of
American politics. Why, it was like
new Declaration Of Independence!
When that multitude surged back and
forth. crying, yelling, threat ,ning, and
muttering, followed every emotion in

In my life. l am glad to have lived
through this, to have seen 1t, to have
beer small part Of it."
"You can't imagine" said 0ormly,
'how great part Of It you have been.
! will not say that am doing It all
for you now; that would not be true
or fair. But, you were my inspiration
IN the beginning, your words, your
presence. Miss Haldane. have some
thing to say to you.
First Of ALL" he began. where arc
you taking me?"
Anywhere you want to go. You
said you had no engagement, you
know" Miss Haldane leaned forward
and touched her brother. He stopped
tho car again and turned about. "Mr.
0ormly wants to know where We are
going"
Il thought we'd swing over past the
park and 60 out Riverside Drive. We
can get decent bite to eat In some
1 quiet place along the river road, and
q spin will do us all good. Is that
agreeable to you?"
II am In your hands," answered
0ormly gratefully. And indeed
think I should like It very much. ]

leave It to me-" said young Hal
dane. I'll turn you up at your apart
mont in proper time and In good
shape. Tonight you are going to en-.
JOY yourself and drop the campaign
TOR little WHILE"
Gormly sank back IN tho luxurious
seat as the machine started once
more, with an expression Of great re-
lief. He had said he was tired. Ne
wonderl The strain Of three or fou1
months campaigning had been enough
to test his nerve and vitality to thu
very Limit. He had enjoyed no oppor
tunity for relaxation. The pace ha<
been too swift, the going too hard, foa
that. He had not dared to let up 70,

dared It then: but being caught up
