door, He ~sns eat and slammed it

A project had come to him, prompt
ed by his furious rage which Knocked
common sense. A man more accus-
toned to the conventions would not
have attempted IT. But all his north
country passion rioted in him at that
moment.
The night before he had wept be-
cause the peace and good name Of
Clare kavanagh were threatened and
he could only beat the ugly phantom
Of scandal helplessly.
Now suddenly he found work for
his hands, and his hands had always
been his means of expressing his soul
In toll achievement, and in passion.
He hurried down the stairs into the
statehouse rotunda, where the throngs
were. There We're women, women.
There were SO many faces to sean.
Chance led him to her. He caught her
arm, and her startled face was turned
up to his.
Come" he whispered hoarsely.
Come. Do not ask me why. Only
come. Hurry
With the trustfulness she had al
ways shown in him she did not hest
tate. She did not even offer excuses
to the tall woman who stepped for
ward to inquire the intentions of this
abrupt young nan. She went as she

he measure that he was expected to

the measure that he was expected to
sponsor.
It provided for q commission Of three
men to be appointed by the governor
and to remain under his direct control.
a bipartisan board. These men were
to appoint special deputies to any num-
ber desired. To any county. city or
town these deputies were to be dis
patched when it became apparent that
police or sheriffs were lax or dishon-
est in enforcing the prohibitory law.
Of these men empowered to kill sa-
looms and put liquor peddlers out of
business. No special amount of money
was to be asked Of the legislature.
The bill provided that the state treas
ury should stand behind the move
ment.
The young man was quick to under
stand the tremendous power granted
to the governor by that bill. Under
1t no party management, no group Of
politicians, could club or coax the
liquor interests into line ut the polls
by manipulation Of the traffic. No
sheriff could enrich himself by selling
privileges. No city could govern itself
in that respect, declaring that public
opinion favored the saloons and max
ing local law superior to the constitu-
tional law Of the state. This bill pro-
vided that a judge must impose both
fines and Imprisonment when convic-
tions were secured. and therefore no
judge could carry on any longer a
practical system of low license by i'm
posing fines alone.
1t was the principle of enforced pro-
hibition put on trial.
Harlan was sufficiently familiar with
the old plan to know how this new
system would upset the entire politi-
cal machine of his state. That folio
Of document was bombshell.
He was holding it outspread in his
hands whe2 the door opened SO sud
denly that 1t startled him. Thelismer
Thornton came in, shaking his shoul-
ders disgustedly.
Feathers and cacklev' he muttered.
''This statehouse turned into a poultry
yard! And half Of 'em braced back
trying to crow! When hen crows
and woman votes-well, it's all the
same thing"
He relighted the cigar that he had
brought through the press hidden in
his big palm. He eyed his grandson
keenly and with some disfavor as he
puffed the cigar alight.
Look here. bub," he burst out.
there are enough women around here
today to remind me that l want to
have word with you on the woman
question. You intend to marry Made
leine Presson, don't you?"
Intend to marry her" blazed his
grandson. You talk as though it was
the fashion to grab girl and carry
her off as they did in the stone age"
You know what mean very well.

PROLOGUE OF THE sroRv.

Thslismer Thornton. locally known
as Duke Of Canibas," for nfty years
boss Of bis district. plans to retire and
send his grandson. Harlan. to the leg
islaturs - his successor. The reform
ers in bis district, who are called
"Ramrodders." endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are
led BY Ivus Niles. Evangelist Dudley
and others. Harlan is unwilling to be
q candidate. but bis grandfather in
sists. Harlan and Miss Clare Kava-
nagh are very much interested In each
other. and Thornton and Clare's fa-
ther try to break up this intimacy.
The reformers are in control Of the
caucus. but Thornton's followers stam-
pede them BY starting forest fire and
during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature. Harlan helps sub
due the 1re. learns of his nomination
and tells bis grandfather that he will
decline It because it was dishonesty
procured.
However, the duke gets him to run
for the office. settles with farmers who
lost BY the forest fire and practically
assumes management of the whole
state campaign. Harlan meets Glare,
who, gowned and gloved, looks more
mature. Thornton and Harlan pay n
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor in order to beat Arba
Spinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
leins Presson. Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders by insist
Ing upon writing his own platform
and upon a rigid enforcement Of the
prohibitory law. They refuse to NOM
inate him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth. who
learns that Spinney has been bribed
to retire by Thornton. Presson and
others. Weymouth compels them to
nominate him. and Harlan shares in
his victory. Weymouth declares he
will enforce the prohibitory law, but
hs rebuffs the "Ramrodders." He makes
Harlan his chief of staff for the cam
paign. Clare reveals her love for Har-
Ian, then goes away to be educated.
Weymouth compels his party leaders
to more actively support him, and
Madeleine Presson tells Harlan he's
foolish to have such high political
ideals. Weymouth is elected. Harlan
proposes marriage to Madeleine, but
gets no reply. Governor Weymouth
makes Harlan sponsor for a drastic
prohibition law. Linton, one Of Made
leine's suitors, insists that Harlan cease
being her escort because Spinney has
circulated scandalous story about
Harlan and Glare.

young arms. He had hardly looked at
her till then. She had changed in the
months since he had seen her. Wo-
manly dignity was mingled with the
high spirit that had inspired the child.
Her garb, her new mien, made her
beauty brilliant.
II never lied to you yet, big boy"
she cried. Il came here because I
was hungry for sight Of you. Then
would go back to my work comfort
ed Now my conscience is clear. Take
me where you will"
In that moment his heart was re-
vealed to him. In the stress Of new
emotions he understood himself at
last. He understood that the love
which mates. which sweeps away all
calculation, which YIELDS, trusts and
never pauses to analyZe or compute, is
love that disdans mere admiration Of
intellect or lure of beauty.
His quiet nature had depths. They
had never been stirred till then. The
child love had been budding there
ready for blossom. 1t had been fed by
faith and ripened by association. Pas
sion now brought 1t to fruition. Made
leine Presson had appealed only to one
side of him. This girl rounded out the
whole philosophy of love. She was not
a divinity. His nature did not crave
divinity. In his strength, sincerity In
genuouSness. his mans soul, primitive
as the free woods, required the mate
one to be cherished and protected
And so now. when all his soul was
stirred. this girl, so bitterly in need of
protection. the girl whom the years
had endeared to him. came into his
heart to reign there.
Words. emotion, choked him But he
could not wait then. She saw some
thing in his eyes she had never seen
there till that moment. But before she
could understand he carried her along
with him.
Come. can't wait"' he cried.
When he flung open the door of the
committee room the men in ii were
standing in silence. Presson had
picked up the Thornton bill' and was
reading it, scowlinG. Whatever Linton
had said. it was plain that the father
of Madeleine Presson had just found
something which diverted his atten-
ton from family matters.

locked it. He stepped away from the
girl, leaving her standing there She

had a long hidden, consuming passion
for Madeleine Presson, q love that had
grown through the years and now
waited fitting time of expression and
the Endorsement of assured position.
II he had any doubts of the truth Of
the shameful story he had brought he
concealed those doubts. He would not
admit them to himself. He proposed
to win the girl. He chose any weapons

he said from the corridor.

Thornton hurried to the headouar-
tiers that the corporations maintained
in the hotel for Spinney. Spinney was
not there. He ran back to his room
and telephoned to the clerk of the ho-
tel. He was informed that Mr.. Spin
ney had gone away for q few days.

grandfather what his intentions were

Francis Joseph Not III

Vienna. December 14.-An inspired statement says that in the future Elm peror Francis Joseph will grant only collective audiences to the ministers in- stead of receiving them separately This has caused an unfounded rumor of the emperor's acute illness.
 From inquiries made in authoritative circles. it is learned that the emperor s health gives not the slightest cause for alarm. The emperor is working from morning until evening, and it is stated that rumors to the contrary are part of a political campaign of unprecedented violence and pertinacity destined to scare the Austro-Hungarian public into the belief that war is inevitable
 Naturally the emperor is deeply con cerned over the sudden complications in the near east and the provoking attitude adopted by the Servians. involving the resignation of high military presonages and nterminable audiences and confer ences with the ministers. The emperor is also much affected by the death of his old friend, Luitpod of Bavaria, but as far as bodily health is concerned, he is said to be as well as at any time in the past decade.
 The court wording of the emperor s letters accepting the resignations of General Auffenberg as minister of war and General Wchemau as chief of staff, is causing much comment in military cir cles. The newspapers point out that neither letter contains single word of recognition for the past services of these eminent officers. The Neue Frei Presse suggests that the extraordinary omission raises the supicion of duties un- fulfilled. and declared that the public has every right to know at such a crit ical moment exactly what has happened.
