shoulders. AS they drew within the
windows radius of dim yellow light
Jim could see her figure plainly.
Her slenderness reminded him of
Kitty Lee-and the remembrance of
Kitty brought muttered oath to his
lips. It was not pleasant to recollect
that drink had not only cost him a
good job, but had drifted him away
from Kitty Lee into maelstrom of
dissipation. They had been engaged
and he had given her ring with
cheap blue stone, but she had blushed
so beautifully as she bent and lightly
kissed the token of their betrothal.
Then he-had he ever been light heart
ed enough to do that?-had also leaned
down and kissed the ring and then
kissed his sweetheart's lips. He
grOwled inarticulately as a pain smote
his heart
The woman moved ahead and he fol-
lowed. 1t was her turn at the window,
and she stretched out a thin, pallid
hand for the coveted loaf of bread. On
her hand cleaned a ring with a blue
stone.
When Jim Collins had received his
loaf he turned and fastened after the
woman. Almost at the entrance to
the street he caught up with her and
laid his hand on her arm.
''Kittyw he said peremptorily.
She turned a frightened face to his,
a face once pretty, now worn by pri-
vation into thin, sharp lines.
"Jim-Jim Collins, what do you
want?" She drew away from him
and huddled the bread under her
shawl
''What's the matter? What are you

It had been strange year for Jim
Collins. He did not care to look back
over the past twelve months. 1t was
enough for him that during the period
he had dropped from his pinnacle of
honest labor to be the pitiful slave Of
a habit. A red lamp glowed down at
the corner by Uhlman's bakery-at the
entrance to the alley that ran around
to the back door. AS Jim went to-
ward it the saloons along the avenue
were closing up, doors swung open
and discharged quarrelsome groups of
men, who scattered up and down the
pavement, some Of them making the
midnight hideous with their raucous
voices.
Jim Collins passed them and went on
to the entrance to the alley. Here
he joined a line Of men which was 81
lently forming in the dim alley-dere
licts from the city's troubled seas
who were waiting for the nightly dole
of bread which Hans Uhlman gave to
his poorer neighbors after the exam
pie of greater philanthropist farther
uptown.
Down at the entrance, near the red
light, Jim Collins slowly followed the
shortening line. He was impatient of
the delay, for he was anxious to re
ceive his bread and seek a certain
bench in the square near by, where
q maple tree formed an excellent
shelter in a moderate rain. If he was
delayed much longer the much to be
desired bench would be pre-empted by
some other outcast of the night.
In front of him a woman's form was
vaguely outlined. A shawl was thrown

st. Paul, Oct. 10.-That the Mime
sofa Democratic leaders intend to put
up the fight of their lives fer the cap
ture of the state the coming year is
evidenced by a line of activity that
is without a parallel at this time of
the year. National Committeeman
Fred B. Lynch is at the head of the
movement and in his quiet way he is
piling up a collection of trouble for
the other side that will keep it's man
ayers busy when the campaign IS Off
cially opened. Taking his cue from
the unrest that grips both nation and
state-and I repeat, ''in his quiet
~way"-Lynch has been feeding the po-
iitioal scribes of the Twin Cities and
other state population centers mess
of interesting if not overly accurate
dope that is even now forcing the Re-
publican leaders to sit up and take no.
ttce The stuff Is of decided knock
ing" character, and appearing as it
does in papers supposed to be RepuN-
ifcan and accepted as friendly to the
Eberhart administration at that,

wondering how he gets away with i,
Plans, learn, are now under way for
the minimizing Of his unexplained and
so far successful control in this
respect.

In mentioning this Democratic &C
fivity the use Of the word must not
be taken as meaning that Committee
man Lynch and his lieutenants have
formally opened headquarters for the
conduct of the campaign. Far from
it. Mr. Lynch is too astute a pOliti-
oian for that. He is not inviting trOu-

Dorters of the city press that is fruit
2u1 to a degree. Lynch is not as
breezy as Chairman Frank A. Day,
But he is just as resourceful. It may
not be generally known but Lynch
and his associates have practically
made up the slate for presentation to
the next convention and much of their
activity consists in sounding voters
faithful to the cause as to it's accept
ability. All the weak spets on the
Republican side of the house are be-
ing studied and plans laid to assault
them at the proper time in manner
that will not permit of quick recovery.
This is the season of possibilities
and the crop is heavier than ordinary.
Every man active in the political game
does not feel that he has done his
Aaty until he picked a favorite and as
q result the market is overstocked.
The latest in a gubernatorial way is
Congressman G. E. Lindberg of Little
Falls. His hackers are George LOTUS
and W. |. Nolan of Minneapolis, lead
ers of the ultra progressive crowd
over there, and they want him to go
after Governor Eberhart's scalp. AS
the game goes Lieutenant Governor
Gordon s!uuld be to their liking, but
he is not wild enough in his ideas to
suit them and the boom for Lindberg
is their wa Of showing their dissatis-
faction. Ih2t he will pass up a pretty
sure return to the office he now holds
for an uncertainty, however, remains
to be seen.
