CHAPTER XIV.

Forlorn and discouraged Matt sought
out the only man in Manaswan that he
could rely on. He needed more than a
Job; he needed a friend, and where
else was he more likely to find one
than in Victor's garage?
Daggancourt was working over a
car, and it was not until he had been
nudged by a helper that he straight
ened himself. and recognized Matt. He
tried to look unconcerned, but there
was a telltale culver of the cheek. and
startled, constrained afr about him
which showed his agitation. He
grasped Mats extended hand in both
his own and bent his gray old head to
hide his emotion.
We've both been fools, Victor,
said Matt. II was ashamed to tell you
that they had stolen my money-yes,
got clean away with it in San Fran
cisco-and then you took it all wrong
and froze up like silly old iceberg.

PARTY GAINS SHOWN.

Analyzing the returns from tne
states which have held presidential
primaries the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat points to the strength of the re-
nublican poll as an indication that the
party is gaining instead OF losing
GROUND. This is hailed as welcome
manifestation to all elements OF the
marty. and as an indication that If the
ticket. whoever heads it, gets fairly
conplete vote of the party it will carry
the country. Nobody will be sur
prised that the republicans held long
lead in the primaries in Pennsylvania,
the Globe Democrat observes, NOR is
there any cause for surprise at their
ascendancy in Illinois, although the
democrats have been claiming that
state for November. But the republi-
can lead in the primaries in Nebraska
and Oregon is something which many
republicans did not look for. Both
Of those states have been claimed by
the democrats all along. The demo-
Gratis have half of Nebraska's congress
sional delegation in each house, as
chosen in 1910, and they have major
ity in the legislature. They have one
OF Oregon's senators, and they carried
that state for governor in 1910. But
in the primaries in each state few
days ago the republicans showed a
good-sized lead.

is taken as an indication that the YER

That the English government plans
an exhaustive investigation OF the
Titanic disaster is indicated by the
outline of the inquiry given by Slr
Rufus Isaacs The three points OF In
quiry on which the greatest; stress Is
laid are the Titanic's speed after the
warnings of ice had been received, the
insufficient number of life boats. and
the construction of the water-tight
compartments. Another point OF In.
quiry is the small number of second
and third class passengers saved in
proportion to the number of first class
survivors. England seems to be start
ing out for a thorough investigation
with a view to fixing the blame for
the recent disaster and formulating
rules to provide greater safety in sea
travel.
This would make it appear that the
criticism In a part Of the London
press concerning the recent senate In
vestigation was inspired less by the
feeling that vigorous investigation
should be made than by pique that
the United States took the initiative
in the investigation.

He took the road to the Young
Mems Christian association with a
logged determination not to borrow
trouble, studying the Simple Gym
nastics on the way, and examining
what he could of it into his seetlng
and tormented head. Stopping at a
store, in accordance with Mr.. Cum
Minis request of over night, he chose
a suit of overalls and the regulation
tights and singlet which were
charged-and a couple of coarse, blue
flannel shirts which he paid for-and
went on, with the parcel under MS
arm.
He changed his clothes in the gym
nasium, which was as lifeless as the
rest of the building, and applied him
self vigorously to his task. In couple
of hours the floors had been scrubbed,
the windows cleaned, the apparatus
polished, the bathing suits set out III
long lines to dry, and the tank ready
for new influx of young mill hands:
Then he went up to join the deaf ana
dumb Swede on the roof, who greeted
him with inarticulate cries, like those
of a walrus on a rock, and welcom-
ing wave Of the hammer. Matt crawled
over. shook hands, lit his pipe, and
was soon shingling with professional
deliberation, not to say sloWness, tnat
his companion insisted on.
Thus the long day passed, and the
busy, noisy evening came and went,
and ones head was no sooner
on the pillow than it seemed
time to rise again. The days
that followed were all alike, and by de-
grees the world contracted till 1t con-
sisted of nothing but the Y. NJ. c. A. at
one end and Mrs. Sattane's at the
other, with a mile Of streets between.
Yet Matt was not unhappy; you need
leisure to be unhappy; and he was
sustained, moreover, by determine
ton to succeed. That he was doing so
was indubitable; Mr.. Cummins was

house. No republican swung over TO
the democratic side. The aggregate
democratic vote was much smaller IN
that year than it was for congress or
president two years earlier. The In
terest shown in the primaries in the
past few weeks, however, indicates
that there will be no republican sulk'
ing in 1912. The stake is larger than
it was two years ago. Republican
stay .at-homes at that time knew that
even if the democrats were permitted
to carry the house they would be
baked by a republican senate and
president. A democratic victory IN
1912 would put the entire government
in that party's hands, with the posi-
bility of bringing an industrial col
lapse like that which came In when
they had their previous presidential
victory. AS shown by the votes In the
states which have held their primaries
thus far, all the republicans are likely
to go to the polls in November, which
will mean that the party which has
held the presidency in recent years
will get an extension of its mandate.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ..
/ NOT ATTACKING TAFT'S WORK.
That President Taft's administra-
ton has been paid fine tribute in the
fact that his opponents are waging
their campaign, not upon works, but
entirely upon personal grounds, is a
point brought out by the Omaha Bee
practically nothing" the Bee de-
clares, "is being said by his critics
about what he has done as president,
that is to the extent of daring to take
up the achievements Of his administra.
ton and anaylzing them for the pur-
pose of attacking him." Continuing
the Bee says:
"The president went into office upon
q campaign or distinct pledges. AS
far as has teen possible he has re-
deemed these pledges. He was not
elected to Office on any promise to pro
mote the new theories of government
which others are preaching today, but
among the things his party pledged
through him and which have been
brous'.t to fruition are 70 We counted
moe far reaching measures of social
and economical reform than have been
enacted in any other similar period OF
our history.
when the republicans come to
enuncIat, their platforms for the next
cam DaiGu they can without stultl1lca-
ton point with pride to the record OF
the Taft administration. Even in lii
nois, where the state convention was
completely in the hands of the Roose-
welt following, and an Instructed
Roosevelt delegation, was chosen to
represent the state in the national
convention, the platform had nothing
but commentator for the president,
although withholding from him The i'll
dorsement for reelection which ordin-
arily would have accompanied such ap
proval. No republican would erase
what has been added to the record
of the party by the president in the
form of substantial accomplishments
in the last three years."
