Houssaye.
When l reached Washington it was
indeed spring, warm, sweet spring. In
the wide avenue the struggling trees
were doing their best to dignity the
city, and flowers were blooming every
where. Wonderful enough did all this
seem to me after thousands of miles
of rude scenery of bare valleys and
rocky hills, wild landscapes, seen oft
en- through cold and binding storms
amid peaks and gorges, or on the
drear. forbidding plains.
Used more, of late, to these wilder
scenes, I felt awkward and still half
savage. | did not at once seek out
my own friends. My first wish was
to get in touch with Mr.. Calhoun, for

SYNOPSIS.

Senator John Calhoun is invited to be-
come secretary of state in Tyler,s cab
met. He declares that if he accepts Texas
and Oregon must be added to the Union.
He sends his secretary, Nicholas Trist, to
ask the Baroness Won Ritz, spy of the
British ambassador, Pakenham, to call at
baroness home, a carriage drives UP and
Nicholas is invited to enter. The occupant
Is the baroness, and she asks Nicholas to
assist In evading pursuers. Nicholas notes
that the baroness has lost a slipper. She
gives him the remaining slipper as
pledge that she will tell Calhoun what he
wants to know regarding England's IN
tentions toward Mexico. AS security
Nicholas gives her a trinket he intended
for his sweetheart, Elizabeth Churchill.
Calhoun becomes secretary OF state. lie
business. and the latter plans to be mar
ried that night The baroness says she
will try to prevent the marriage. A
drunken congressman whom Nicholas
asks to assist in the wedding arrange
ments sends the baroness slipper to
Elizabeth, by mistake, and the wedding
ess in Montreal, she having succeeded,
where he failed. in discovering England S
intentions regarding Oregon. She tells
him that the slipper he had in his pos
session contained note from the attaehe
of Texas to the British ambassador, say
ing that if the United States did not an
mex Texas within 30 days. she would lose
both Texas and Oregon Nicholas meets
a naturalist, Won Rittenhofen. who gives
him information about Oregon. The
baroness and a British warship disappear
from Montreal simultaneously. Calhoun
orders Nicholas to head a party of set
tiers bound for Oregon. Calhoun eXcites
the jealousy of Sonora Yturrio and there
by secures the signature of the Texas at
tache to a treaty of annexation. Nicholas
starts for Oregon. He wins the race over
the British party. A British warship ar
rives with the baroness as a passenger.
She tells Nicholas that she placed a note
in the slipper which caused the breaking
off of his marriage. and that she intends
to return to Washington to repair the
damage she has done. Nicholas decides to
follow her.

year. Our own party, although over
the Rockies, had yet the plains to
cross. | was glad enough when we
the midst of binding snowstorm.
Winter had caught us fair and full.
l had lost the race!
Here, then, l must winter. Yet
learned that Joe Meek had QUILTED
at Laramie almost a month earlier,
with new animals; had bought little
grain, and under escort of cavalry
troop WHICH had come west with the
wagon train, had started east in time,
perhaps, to make it through to the
Missouri. In race of 1000 miles, the
baroness had already beaten me al
most by MONTH Further word was,
of course, now unobtainable, for no
trains or wagons would come west
so late, and there were then no stages
carrying mail across the great plains.
There was nothing for me to do ex-
cept to wait and eat out my heart at
old Fort Laramie, in the society of In
dians and trappers, half-breeds and
traders. The winter seemed years in
length, SO gladly make its story
brief.
1t was now the spring of 1916, and
was in my second year away from
Washington. Glad enough I was when
in the first sunshine of spring
started east, taking my chances of
getting over the plains. At last, to
make the long journey also brief,
did reach Fort Leavenworth, by this
time a five months loser in the trans
continental race
AS to the baroness, she had long
since left Fort Leavenworth for the
east I followed still with what speed
could employ l could not reach
Washington now until long after the
first buds would be out and the creep
ers growing green on the gallery of
Mr. Calhoun's residence. Yes, green
also on all the lattices of Elmhurst
mansion. What had happened there
for me?

"FiftyFour Forty or Fight! That's us!"

This over, we all three broke out in
laughter at my uncouth appearance
I was clad still in such clothing as /
could pick up in western towns as
hurried on from the Missouri east
ward; and | had as yet found no time
for BARRIERS
eve have had no word from you
Nicholas said Mr.. Calhoun presently
since that from Laramie, in the fall
of eighteen forty-four. This is in the
spring of eighteen forty-six! Mean
time, We might all have been dead
and buried and none of us the wiser.
What a country! Tis more enormous
than the mind of any of us can grasp"
You should travel across it to learn
that" l grinned
Many things have happened since
you left. You know that / am back
in the senate once more?"
l nodded And about Texas?"
began.
Texas is ours" said he, smiling
grimly. You have heard how? 1t
was hard fight enough-a bitter, sell
fish, sectional fight among politicians.
But there is going to be war. Our
troops crossed the Sabine more than
a year ago. They will cross the Rio
Grande before this year is done. The
Mexican minister has asked for his
passports. The administration has
ordered Gen. Taylor to advance. Mr..
vengeance. Seeing a chance for more
territory, now that Texas is safe from
England, he plans war on helpless
and deserted Mexico! We may hear
of a battle now at any time. But the
war with Mexico may yet mean war
dangers our chance to gain all or any
of that great Oregon country. Tell
me, what have you learned?"
hurried on now with my own news,
briefly as l might. l told them of the
ships of Eng1and's navy waiting in
Oregon waters; of the growing suspi-
cion of the Hudson bay people; of the
changes in the management at Fort
Vancouver; of the change also from a
conciliatory policy to one of half hos
tility. | told them of our wagon
trains going west, and of the strength
of our frontiersmen; but offset this,
justly as / might, by giving facts also
regarding the opposition these might
meet
Precisely said Calhoun, walking
up and down, his head bent. Eng
land is preparing for war; How
much are we prepared? It would cost
US the revenues of quarter, of cen
fury to go to war with her to-day. 1t
would cost us $4,000 lives We would
need an army of $50, 1000 men. Where
is all that to come from? Can we
transport our army there in time?
But had all this buster ceased, then
we could have deferred this war with
Mexico; could have bought with coin
what now will cost US blood; and
we could also have bought Oregon
without the cost of either coin or
blood Delay was what we needed!
All of Oregon should have been ours"
But, surely, this is not all news to
your l began. Have you not seen
the Baroness Won Ritz? Has she not
made her report"
The baroness?" queried Calhoun.

to ask the question that would give
Willie the opening for the joke. so

The city of Omaha adopted the COM

other day, and that's very good. 1t
was adopted by the votes of about
one. fifth of the electors, something like

There were primary elections in
Ohio cities the other day, and the re-
ports are pretty generally that good

the reports also are that there was an

It's waste of time trying to account
for this indiff erence on the part of the

such accounting may show way to
remedy the condition.

Strong Presidential Probability

It was the magnificent record of the

Congress under the leadership OF
Champ Clark, which laid the founda

Republicans and six Democratic
Governors to displace Republicans.
Everyone, from the sagest political
observer to thesagest political obser-

studies the results Of the election OF
1910, must be convinced that the victory
was distinctly a national one won on
national issues and due to causes
which stirred the nation. The battle
