And there's this about 1t, too:

And there's this about It, too:
Slaton's campaign has been free Of mud
singing, factional appeal, and frenzied
complaining and predicting that the
world is headed straight to the demni-
ton boW-w
Perhaps Georgia has been only too glad
to dispense with a measure of that.
Combined with SlatOns dignifed meth
DDS of campaigning has been wide per-
sonal popularity.
The impression seems to be that Jack
SlatOn is safe and sane, and will make a
rational and entirely acceptable governor.
And. oh yes!-this campaign has been
conducted without campaign managers!
And for that-no doubt-here and
there, many thanks

Mr. Slaton's methods Of campaigning
have been little short of remarkable.
He has delivered not one political
speech; and he has issued directly only
one card There has been the usual

from headquarters, but to only one pro-
mitigation has Slaton attached his sig

He has delivered numerous speeches on
educational matters-and had somebody
thought to invite him to discuss the
Panama canal or the probable inhabit-

In many respects, the most remarkable
campaign for the governorship ever waged
in Georgia comes to an end today
II began actually last December-im-
mediately after the present executive was
named in a special state primary.
Before that election, John NJ. Slaton had
considered the matter Of running for that
high and honorable position. But it would
hardly be accurate to say that he actually
was candidate previous to December T
the date upon which Little Joe" put 1t
all over Pope Brown and plain Dick
for he was not. Upon the outcome Of that
special primary hung all the Slaton hopes
and aspirations,
Thomas c. Hudson's campaign began
actually about the same time. There had
been "rumors' Of Tom and all that sort
OF thing-but he, too, was awaiting the
outcome Of the special primary before
throwing his hat in the ring Slatons
definite determination 10 run decided Hud-
son to run, but not until after HUDSON
had been persuaded to give up a well
started congressional race, and had been
assured Of much factional and anti-Sla-

Why Is 1t That Women Always Seem
to Have Something to Apollo
gze For3

Isn't 1t queer the sort of things we
are ashamed of? queries a western
woman writer How often do we hear
people apologizing profusely because
they happen to live in an unfashion-
able part of town. They will explain
and explain ad nauseam how they
came to be living in that house and
how very awkward it is having that
class Of neighbors.
have come to the conclusion 1t Is
little short OF a crime not to live IN
the fashionable part of the city.
And then relations. Everybody
seems to be ashamed OF at least one
relation. In most cases the only ones
they are proud of are dead ones,
long time dead, and very remote re-
lations at that. But the living rela-
lions always seem to be cause or
shame-they never will live in the
right districts, build the right kind
of house, bring up their children sty-
lishly or indulge In the right kind OF
trade. Female relations will insist
upon marrying undesirable husbands,
and male relations always manage to
acquire vulgar or dowdy wives.
One stylish lady is wont to sigh
elegantly as she murmurs poor dear
George-peculiar wife. you know; I've
tried, but really can't include them
in my social affairs, you know"
But of all the shameful shame pro
ducers the behavior of our babies Is
the shamiest.
Our babies always will dirty their
pinnies, ask for candy, wipe jammy
fingers on the visitors coat, demand
attention persistenuy and vociferous-
", knock over the tea cups, spread
the cake crumbs all over the best
carpet and perpetrate all the other
hundred and one misdemeanors that
the dear lambs are heir to. They all
do It sometimes and they all do 1t
always on the days we earnestly
vearn for them to make a good i'm
preston.
So why are we ashamed Of them
for being normal? Why do we all ex-
plain at great length how Tommy
never behaves like this on ordinary
occasions and why do we persist in
being mortified so poignantly Eek

Hard Work to Find Publisher.

1t is not generally known that ]. H.
Shorthouse had some difficulty in get
ting his famous historical romance,
John Inglesant," into print.
Shorthouse was engaged ten years
in writing the book, and every page
as he wrote it he submitted to the
discriminating criticism of his wife.
When the story was finished no pub
Usher would accept it. Four years
passed away and then Shorthouse re-
solved to publish 100 copies at his
own expense. When this was done a
copy came into the hands of Alexan-

CHAPTER XIV.
The Drauqht or Joy.


The great library was the prettiest
room in Robert Maitland's magnificent
mansion in Denver's most favored res
idence section. 1t was a long, low
studded room with heavy beamed
ceiling. The low book cases, about
windows and doors on all side- of the
room. At one end there was a huge
open fire place built of rough stone,
and as it was winter a cheerful fire
of logs blazed on the hearth. It was

drawing-room across the hall was Mrs
Maitland's domain, but the library re-
fiected he. husbands picturesque if
somewhat erratic taste. On tbs
walls there were pictures of
the west by Remington, March
and. Dunton, Dixon and others,
and to set them off, finely mount
ed heads of bear and deer and buffalo.
Swords and other arms stood here and
there. The writing table was massive
and the chairs easy, comfortable and
inviting. The floor was strewn with
robes and rugs From the windows
facing westward, since the house was
set on high hill, one could see the
great rampant Of the range.
There We're three men in the room
on that brilliant morning early in Jan
uary something like month after
these adventures In the mountains
which have been so veraciously
set forth. Two of them were the
brothers Maitland; the third was New
bold.
The shock produced upon Enid Matt
land by the death of Armstrong to-
gether with the tremendous episodes
that had preceded it had utterly pros
strated her. They had spent the
night - the hut in the mountains and
had decided that the woman must be
taken back to the settlements some
way at all hazards.
The wit of old Kirkby had effected
a solution of the problem, using a
means certainly as old as Napoleon
and the passage of his cannon over
the Great st. Bernard-and perhaps as
old as Hannibal! They had made a
rude sled from the trunk of pine
which they followed out and provided
with back and runners. There was
no lack of fur robes and blankets for
her comfort.
Wherever it was practicable the

| he and Armstrong had both played 10
fore this woman they both loved, how
they had battled like savage animals
and how but for a lucky interposition
he would have added murder to his
other disabilities,
He was honest enough to say to him
self that he would have done the same
thing over under the same circum-
stances, but that did not absolve his
conscience. He did not know how the
woman looked at the transaction or
looked at him. and he had not enjoyed
one moment alone with her In all
that had trauspired since that morn
ing in the hut. the four had naturally
and inevitably remained inseparably
together.
They had buried Armstrong in the
snow Robert Maitland saying over
him a brief but fervent petition in
which even Newbold joined. Enid
Maitland herself had repeated elo-
quently to her uncle and old Kirkby
that night before the fire the story Of
her rescue from the flood by this man,
how he had carried her in the storm
to the hut and how he had treated her
since; and Maitland had afterwards
repeated ner account to his brother in
Denver.
Maitland had insisted that Newbold
share his hospitality, but that young
man had refused. Kirkby had little
place not far from Denver and easily
accessible to it, and the old man had
gladly taken the younger one with
him. Newbold had been in a fever Of
anxiety over Enid Maitland's Illness,
but his alarm had soon been dispelled
by the physicians assurance. and
there was nothing now left for him
but to wait until she could see him.
He inquired for her morning and even
ing at the great house on the hill;
he kept her room a bower of beauty
with priceless blossoms. but he had
sent no word.
Robert Maitland had promised to let
him know, however, so soon as Enid
could see him. and it was in pursuance
of telephone message that he was in
the library that morning.
He had not yet become accustomed
to the world; he had lived so long
alone that he had grown somewhat shy
and retiring; the habits and customs
of years were not to be lightly thrown
aside in a week or a month. He had
sought no interview with Ends father
heretofore; indeed had rather avoided
it, but on this morning he had asked
for it, and when Robert Maitland
would have withdrawn he begged him
to remain.
