Wilson Talks to Crowds in
Pennsylvania.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Oct. 24:-Gov-
ernor Wilson. of New Jersey, stopped
here Saturday afternoon on his way
to Towanda and Tunkhannock In the
Fourteenth Congressional district.
where he made speeches In the even
ing. The governor was welcomed by
five hundred enthusiasts. He made
a brief speech, in which he said:
u know what is happening in
Pennsylvania and what has been hap
pening in New Jersey. and l know
what you fellows are going to do
when you get a chance, We have had
a chance in New Jersey and we have
done 1t. I am glad to be a lap ahead
of you in the race, but I am sure
that Pennsylvania when it gets a
chance, will make a squirt and catch
up.
There is an extraordinary change
going on In the country, and the
game, when established, If / may use
a football term, will be an open game
instead OF a closed game. You know
in a closed game all kinds of dirty
work can be done In the scriminage,
but in the open game you can see
the fellows all the time, and I have
always stood for the open game In
football; and / stand for the open
game in politics. And Ii you can give
us the open game In politics we can
advance the ball ten yards every play
because We know the signals and we
know the game, and the other fell
lows don't know that sort of game.
I'VE want a government by dis
cussfon for a government by private
arrangement. A government by dis
cussion will place 1t in everybody's
hands, and a government by private
arrangement necessarily results In

Chapter XI. Discord

THAT afternoon late Bcrkcy and the Wrays re-
turned to town; and the Western wires tingled
with Jcffs tclegrams to Pueblo, Kinney, and Mesa
City He had burnt his bridges behind him, and like
a skful cavalry leader picking out the vantage
points in the enemy's country. The answers came
slowly; but Wray had planned his campaign before he
left the West and the messages satisfactory. He
realized that his utility in New York for the present at
least was end and he that he must soon leave
for the West to repair any possible breaks in his line OF
communications.
Camilla learned of his intended departure with min
gled feelings Her husbands rather ostentatlous defer
ence to Mrs. Cheync had annoyed her. She knew in
and pride forbade that she should question him. Larrys
presence at dinner prccdcd personal discussions and
Camilla sat silent while the talked seriously OF Jeff
business plans. 1t had not been her husbands
habit to discuss his affairs with her and when the coffee
served he asked her cooy if she hadn't rather be
alone
"Do you mind if stay, Jcff?7 she asked I'D like
to hear, if YOU don't mind.
I'D rather you wouldn't. You can't be interested
in this besides the matter rather important and
fdential."
She got up quickly. Larry Berkey, who had caught
the expression her eyes, opened the door for her and
followed her into the drawing room.
