to him, leading his horse through the
crowd.
"You have Influence with my grand
father. Mr.. Presson. You have told
me yourself that It's folly to try to
send me to the legislature. I'm not
fitted for such duties. i am interested
only In our business You have had a

change his mindT
IL don't know" confessed Mr.. Pres
son. Hes got my opinion. but he
doesn't seem to think it's worth
much"
"Well, there's only one thing to do"
st ted Harlan resolutely. "I'll stand
up here and let the voters of this dis
trict know how l feel about 1t. I've
got my own rights In this thing, grand
father or no grandfather"
Harlan, my boyw The state chair
man laid his hand protestingly on the
young mans arm. you've got my
sympathy in regard to your going TO
the legislature in this fashion, But
let me say something to you. IL you
lift one finger now when your grand
fathers got his hack against the wall
you'll be disgrace to your family.
Take that from me. You'd better hop
on your horse and ride off where the
mir IL better"
After moment of somber reflection
the young man swung himself to the
back of his horse and galloped away.
The look that he got from his grand
father when he departed did not en-
tighten or reassure him.
The little square of the town house
