CHAPTER v.
A Good Man and His Woes.

After Ed and had carried the Ere
donia election against Dunkirks road.
we went fishing with Roebuck in the
northern Wisconsin woods. | had
two weeks, two uninterrupted weeks,
in which to impress myself upon him:
besides, there was Ed, who related in
tedious but effective detail, on the
slightest proyocation, the achieve
ments that had made him my devoted
admirer. So when, l went to visit
Roobuck in June, at his house near
Chicago he was ready to listen to
me in proper spirit.
soon drew him on to tell of his
troubles with Dunkirk-how the sena-
tor was gouging him and every big
corporation doing business In the
state I've been loyal TO the party
for 40 years" said he bitterly, yet if
had been on the other side IL
couldn't cost me more to do business
have to pay enough here, heaven
knows. But 1t costs me more in your
state-with your man Dunkirk." His
white face grew pink with anger
It's monstrous! Yet you should
have heard him address my Sunday
school scholars at the last annual out
Ing gave them. What an evidence OF

think that'd rouse the people to
their peril"
THAT'S the kind of fire to fight the
devil with" said he, laughing. Il
don't think Mr. Senator Dunkirk will
get the consent of Fredonia."
'But there's the legislature" said l.
His face fell. I'm afraid he'll do
us in the end, old man"
| thought not, but l only said:
"Well, we've got until next winter
if we can beat him here"
Ed insisted that | must stay on and
help him at the delicate task of re,
versing the current of Fredonia sen,
timent. My share of the work was
important enough, but, as it was CON
fined entirely to making suggestions,
it took little of my time | had no
leisure however, for there was Car
lotta to look after.
When ii was all over and she had
told Ed and he had shaken hands with
her and had kissed me and had other
his mind and she and I were alone
again, she said: How did it happen?
| don't remember that you really pro-
posed to me- Yet we certainly are en-
cared"
We certainly are" said l, and
that's the essential point, isn't it2"
Yes" she admitted, but" and
she looked mystifed.
We drifted," l suggested.
Sha glanced at me with smile
that was an enigma "Yes-we just
drifted Why do you look at me so
queerly?"
Il was just going to ask you that
same question" said I, by way of eva
sion.
Then we both fell to thinking, and
after a long time she reused herself
to say: but We shall be very hap
py | am so fond of you And you are
Going to be great man and you do
SO look it even if you aren't tall and
tair, as | always though the man
married. would be. Don't look at me
Se that. Your eyes are strange
enough when you are smiling; but
when you'll often wonder what you're
so sad about"
Have you ever seen a grown per-
sons face that wasn't sad in repose?"
| asked, eager to shift from the par
ticuiar to the general
"A few idiots, or near idiots" she
replied, with a laugh. Therefore we
talked of the future and let the past
sleep in its uncovered coffin.
