. CHAPTER XVIII.


I" HE nomination Of Kelvin and
Rollins came as an astounding
surprise to the public, for their
\ names in connection with the
presidency had been carefully suppress
ed throughout, though Senator Sawyer's
publicity bureau had kept the papers
full of both men in other ways. They
were the new economic conscience.
They were the new commercial philan-
thropy. They were the new justice.
They were the new foe Of the oppressor
and friend Of the poor. Kelvin, individu-
ally, had forced Henry Breed to reduce
the price Of bread permanently from
B to 4 cents loaf. That was the story
that touched every mans fearful con-
Germ for the poor mans pocketbook.
A dozen favorite sons were first put
IN nomination at the convention. and
then Senator Killan, recounting the
story of the breaking up of the Stock
Exchange and Of the capture OF the
railroads, the smashing of the trusts
and the reduction of the price Of bread,
put up Kelvin's name for considera-
ton. Pandemonium broke loose as per
schedule, one Of those carefully ar
ranged spontaneous outbursts so dear
to American politics. and on its crest
the nomination Of Kelvin as candi-
date for the high Office of president Of
the United States. the youngest man
ever to achieve that honor. became
but a mere counting of long since ar.
ranged for ballots, after which the
convention much more calmly and ra-
tionally proceeded to nominate Rol-
Inns.
One-half Of the public received those
two names with gasps of gratitude;
the other half received them with
snarls Of scorn. and the campaign was
on. Kelvin, refusing to make mounte-
bank of himself, let his managers fight
1t out, for he was busy. Out upon his
vast stretches of Long Island waste
there now sprang up long succession
of residence blocks, each surrounded
with its cement sidewalk. each con

all were provided as II by magic. and
the whole was made easily accessible
by the new and wonderful transporta-
ton system that Rollins had inaugural
ed at the same time.
As soon as the work had begun TO as.
sumo form its magnitude could not es-
cape the newspapers. Their first two
questions were What is this?" and
"Who is doing it," To both of these
queries Kelvin's publicity bureau had
a ready answer-light and air and
cleanliness and life for the working
man at cheaper price than he paid
for darkness and poisoned atmosphere
and dirt and death.
Kelvin, appealed to. CURLY pointed
out that the scheme had been projected
long before his name had been men
toned for the nomination and that 1t
was merely one of Henry Breeds plans
for the use of his enormous wealth In
ameliorating the condition of mankind.
Nor did he deny that the undertaking
was expected to pay a legitimate rate
Of interest upon the outlay. He was
entirely practical. he stated. and the
inference was that he would make an
entirely practical president; also
working president for he was busy
right up to the time Of election.
AS II arranged by Providence,
chance to display his vigorous practi-
cality came just few days before
election. One Pellman, remembered
as a once forceful man of Wall street,
then as a "has-been." had suddenly

Dolls In Siam.

Have you ever seen Siamese girl
kiss her doll? Well, you wouldn't
know she was kissing it if you were
not told. for she kisses it in the same
fashion that grownup Slamese kiss
and that is by touching their noses
and drawing in long breath. 1t Is
really funny, particularly as the dolls,
except the father and mother dolls,
wear no more clothes than the. chill
dren themselves. The fathers and
mothers wear strips of cloth wound
round the middle OF their bodies, as
the real people do. The dolls Of the
poor people are made of baked mud,
but children Of rich people have wood
en- dolls, which look much more like
real dolls than the little mud figures.
