be more than S25OO month and this de- spite the fact that a greater part of the literature is said to be going out under a congl essional frank. The managers of the roovement are silent as to the source of their revenues and yet somebody is putting up large sums of money. The bureau does not seem to lack for funds. It is declared that literature attacking the administration of MT. Taft has al- ready been placed in the hands of more than 250,000 republican voters in all sec lions of the United States. The officers are determined to reach 1,0O0,0O0 before the meeting of the republican national con vention. Personal letters are going out every day to leaders who are inclined to progressiveism and who may be induced to jo;n in the revolt against the President and his policies.
 MT. Houser declares that he Is receiv- ing thousands of encouraging letters from all sections and says that Progressveism IS growing every day.
 It is most unique situation. The promise is for the most bitter campaign within the party since the days of Har- riaon. It even promises to be unprece- dented The struggle is bitter and deter mined The bureau is making wounds in the party that can never be healed. But the leaders in the movement seem to pre- fer any administration to the present They seem to prefer even democratic suc- cess to the succession of William IT. Taft in the presidency.
 When asked what position the progress sves would take in the event Mr. Taft is nominated, MT. Houser replied: That question l cannot answer"
 The campaign is aimed at the defeat O. President Taft for a second nomination, and 1t is believed that the fight will con tinue after the convention if Taft is the nominee. At any rate the enemies that are heinz made to MT. Taft and his ad- minstration cannot be easily won back into the fold after the campaign of bit terness that is now being waged against them.
 Officers of the Progressive league are being opened at New York and Chicago and it Is probable that another will be opened on the Pacific slope and perhaps in The south.

Liffey, Habberley, and Cornell will
get their forces in line. And l think
that's all"
Not quite. Mr. Haldane," said Lift
fey.
What else?"
You'll git the barrel open for the

paign?"
Quite So" said Haldane, dryly>
You may depend upon us to do what
Is proper; Ell, gentlemen"
Van Slyke and Mcdonald nodded

nights work" said the district attor-
ney, rising to his feet.
Don't go yet" said Haldane. I'VE
must fix up the slate first, and that
will be ALL"
1t was a half-hour later when the
last one departed from the house
Haldane was quite aware of the con-
ditions under which his fortune was
being increased and his power extend
ed. He had been brought in contact
with the naked reality of the situa-
ton n great many times; but it
seemed to him that never before had
1t presented itself in so hideous and
unattractive a guise as on that night.
The flnancier was hardened. His con-
science, while keenly alive in other
directions, in matters concerning poll
tics and the people was scared and
indurated. But what had been said
and what he had discussed that night
had slckened him.
Haldane felt quite lonely, quite old,
as he sat there in the small hours of
the morning, his cigar gone out,
musing over the situation. He pulled
himself together at last, The battle
was not lost. The enemy had not won.

CHAPTER X.

Tho Voice Of the People 10 Heard.
Gormly's refusal to accept the In
dorsement and become the nominee
Of the outs created great sensation.
1t was an evidence, which by and by
even the stupid could apprehend, that
Gormly literally meant what he said
when he declared that he was to be
an absolutely independent candidate,
tied to no faction, bound by no party,
entirely free and unfettered.
The men who rallied to his support,
while as innocent as babes In the prac.
teal politics affected by Liffey and
Benson, were nevertheless men of
Astounding zeal, keen intelligence, and
high quality. Nor were the workers
that gathered round the new leader
entirely from the social set and circle
of the Haldanes. Gormly In one way
or another employed a vast number
of working men. His relations with
them had always been not merely
Square" as they phrased it, but kind
and generous. They were organized
and started at work Immediately in

every direction. Before the enemy
realized it, ample time had been Sc
cured in every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In 'he Gormly store itself was q
great auditorium in which free con-
certs. lectures, and entertainments
had been given for the employees and
patrons of the store. This auditorium
had outside entrances and could be
completely cut off from the other
business. Every afternoon re assem-
bled in the auditorium the workers
and speakers. and every afternoon
there was the freest possible discus
sion of the issues. of what was to be
said in the speeches of the night, of
the places to be covered. The man
showed genius for leadership and
direction that was amazing. He de-
velorcd a power of succinctly pre-
senting the facts, which in large
measure he was able to communicate
to his followers.
Livingstone Haldane's example had
been followed by not few young men
of fortune and position. 1t became in
a certain sense among a certain set
the fashion to campaign for Gormly
Automobiles of all sorts were avail
able for transporting speakers, and
classes and social distinctions were
wiped out in the greater issues in
volved. BY these methods what was
picturesquely described in the city pa
pers as a whirlwind campaign was
inaugurated.
1t must not be supposed that the
opposition was idle; by no means.
Never had its activities been so great,
its energies so manifestly put forth.
1t had welcomed with joy the news of
the refusal of Gormly to become the
candidate Of the minority party. Lift
fey had at once decided in his own
mind that that settled the issue. Even
farther sighted men like Rutherford
were of the same opinion. Haldane
alone, the wisest, shrewdest, and
ablest of the group, was not con-
vinced, and under his vigorous though
secret urgings the ring redoubled it's
efforts to beat the man.
At the proper time the proposition
from the party in power to make a
combination with the outs was sprung
upon the public. 1t was hailed on one
side as an evidence Of the fairness
of the party in power and the Sachem
society, which many people imagined

One of the cone-shaped hats, o.

ribbon finishes the trim, poised on the
crown at the right side.

TO PREVENT SAGGING SKIRTS
Have Garment Properly Prepared Be-
fore It Is Turned Up to,
Be Hemmed.

Summer dress skirts when made Oh
thin material will always sag after
they are hemmed and finished If care
is not taken to prevent it. A good waV
to do is to have the skirt sagged nrst
before 1t is turned up to be hemmed,
This is done after the skirt is com
pletely finished excepting the hem,
from the band to the final fitting and
the last hook and eye is in its place
The skirt is now hung in closet or,
better still, put upon full-length
dress form raised from the floor by
placing 1t on box, and the bias por
tions Of the cores weighted SO they
will stretch to the fullest extent.
After several days Of this strain tho
material will have sagged to its full
est extent, and the hem may be meas
ured and turned up. Anything will
do for weighing. The smallest weights
from the kitchen scales, put in tenn
porary coverings of muslin and pin
ned on, are excellent. Any other small
objects of uniform heaviness will do
for other weights.

the Haldanos to his country home. CORN

interview with Gormly, makes an indirect
proposition to compromise the fight which
the latter has been waglng in the news

his plan of campaign to Haldane. Gormly
rides to Haldane's place, carrying word
OF the auto accident The next morning
he refers to the ride of the night before
as mild compared to one he experienced
In his boyhood days. The papers an
pounce his candidacy for mayor. The po-

produced a tremendous sensation. The
minority party. seeing in him a possible
Moses, make overtures looking to the in
norsement OF his candidacy by the "outs."
Gormly, however, rejects all proposed
alliance. A meeting of the Sachem So

and henchmen are present and ways and
means are advanced to dampen Gormly's
mayoralty aspirations and sdetrack his
candldacy, The younger Haldane is pro-
posed as an opposition candidate and the
whole machinery Of the citys detective
force is to be invoked to dig up some
thing damaging to Gormly Haldane,

was considered as testimony to the
fact that the party in power had moth
ing to conceal, since it admitted the
outs to it's councils, and that 1t was
sincerely DESTROYS Of giving New York
business administration in which all
factions and parties should be repre-
scented. There was truth In the con-
tention, too. The only faction or party
that would not be represented by this
alliance would be the common people.
Wiser heads, however, realized that
altruistic methods were inconsistent
entirely with the real spirit of either
party and saw in the alliance a con-
fession Of weakness. And the editorial
contingent of the Gormly papers
seized upon this idea and made the
most of it. In the beginning, CORN
ly's advertisements, including his po-
litical manifestos, had been printed
in every paper in the city. They were
paid for as other advertisements are
and why not? But the Sachem So
ciety had put the screws on certain
journals which owed much to its infiu-
ence, and because of this pressure
they had summarily refused any more
of Gormly's unique proclamations
They protested themselves entirely
ready to print his business advertise
ments at the usual rates. Gormly
retaliated, Of course, by withdrawing
all advertising of any sort from them,
and doubling the space he purchased
in the other papers. Naturally, there
fore, the press divided In two sec
tons; those that were controlled by

are cut on the same lines.
Shows the embroidery on the front
of her socks and hides the darns in
the heels" said a male critic Of one
of these gowns, and his cruel remark
accurately describes the style.
Why such an untidy fashion should
have come from Paris at a season
when all the crudeness of spring has
usually been eliminated from its gar.
ments Is puzzle, but here 1t is, new.
ertheless, and many frocks that would
otherwise have been graceful have
been marred by it.

NORESHADOWING already what
we may expect for the coming
fall season, the hats for late
summer indicate that we shall have
many .bonnet-like shapes, tall crowns
and large hats few in number as COM
pared to small and medium-sized
models. Outing hats for July and Au-
gust are of felt in white or light
colors, such as Alice blue, champagne
and the seasons beautiful pink tones
These are either all felt or felt and
hemp combinations and are trimmed
with scarfs, bands, soft draperies of
chiffon and wings or RIBBON. They
are exquisite and, it must be con-
fessed, fragile in the matter of keep
ing clean. But they remain present
able for some time and are cleaned
with fine sandpaper. Everywhere the
floating white veil accompanies these
cool-looking creations of the milliner.
The wells are of lace, in several va
rieties, in coarse silk nets and in
chiffon. They are all washable and
add immensely to the attractiveness
Of the hats and the complexion, for
they are worn either over or off the
lace.
More pretentious millinery is shown
