Taft Dubs Roosevelt as 1.-The Bolt
er" in Last Appeal for
Support.
SAYS HE'LL WRECK PARTY
Colonel Cries "I'n Name the
Compromise Candidate, He'll

Tuesdays Verdict.

Dayton. Ohio. May 20.--President Taft's
seven days of speechmaking through
Ohio came to an end here tonight with a
final plea TO republicans of his own state
to give him their support at to-morrow's
primaries and to defeat Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt whom MIR. Taft dubbed 1.-The
bolter."
Mr.. Taft appealed all day long, in prac-
tically everyone Of the dozen speeches
he made, for republicans to consider and
keep In mind Mr.. Roosevelt's Cleveland
speech where the President said he prophe-
sled mott. He continued to predict
the wreck Of the grand old party II Mr.
Roosevelt does not change his attitude
and Is not assured Of the nomination by
the republican national convention
1t was n hard day for Mr.. Taft. The
sun was hot and he often spoke IN the
full glare Of it. His voice was strong
but the strain of the long tour began 10
tell In the morning he started out with
unusual vim but rs night drew nearer
he lost much of his emphasis
The crowds that turned out to-day
were fully UP to the mark set earlier
in the campaign and there were demon
STATIONS that brought a smile to the
Presidents face.
HAS BEEN A TRYING TRIP.
Mr.. Taft has travelled almost 5000
miles and has spent six entire days on
his private car and one day in Cleve-
land. The trip has been as trying upon
the President as any he has ever un-
dertaken. Mr.. Tafts only engagement
tomorrow Is one Mt the polls in Gin
cinnati and he expects TO leave that city
In the afternoon for Washington.
Most of Mr.. Tafts attacks on Colonel
Roosevelt over his predecessors threat
80 bolt" the Chicago convention were
at Xenia:
Mr.. Roosevelt said at Cleveland the
other night in effect that he was going
to bolt II he were not nominated. and
that when he bolted IL he were not
nominated he would he the Republican
party and those from whom he bolted
would be the boilers because he said I
am the Republican party organization
There used to be a King in France
known as the Grand Monarch He said:
The state, am IT. I am the state and
that is what Theodore is saying about
the Republican party. Now l venture
to think that the Republican party will
get along and live long after him and
that he is not indispensable either to the
party or the country. It will be sad
day in tho history Of the country when
man becomes Indispensable to it, We
shall have to change the form from a
republic to some other form IL that be
the case"

CHAPTER XVIII.

At small hour Of the morning they
made Diamond Harbor in pitch dark
ness and without misadventure were
successful in causing themselves to be
transhipped, bag and baggage. to the
twinscrew steamship Poonah, which
vessel rode at anchor in midstream.
Toward eight o'clock of the white
in the shadow of long boat on the
Poonah's promenade deck, stood fin
ishing a matutinal cigar and watching
narrowly a tender ferry out final
boatload of passengers from the east
ern river bank.
Slowly the tender forged toward the
steamers side; and as it drew near,
O'Rourke forgot to smoke and bent
over the rail to inspect with unremit-
ting interest those upon it's decks.
The forward deck of the tender held
his regard but briefly; those who
waited there, cycling impassively the
towering hanks of the liner, were one
and all Of the east. of races, creeds
and types too numerous to catalogue
These the adventurer might not read,
save individually upon personal con-
tact. If trouble was to come from
them, collectively or individually, he
would not know until the blow had
fallen. On the other hand. he might
be able to hazard shrewd surmises as
to the potential animus inherent in
any one Of the Europeans who were
to be his fellow passengers.
The latter were a mere handful:
half a dozen commercial travellers
from London. Paris. Berlin. their avo-
cations evident beyond dispute; a sal
low English missionary with his with
cred wife. sombre figures in the stark
sunlight, a red-faced deputy-sub-some
thing-or-other of the Indian govern
ment, complacent in white drill and
new pith helmet with gay puggaree;
a lone English girl. and Frenchman.
The two latter held the Irishman's
attention; the girl because, even at a
distance, her slim white-clad figure
and well-poised head seemed singu-
larly fresh and attractive; the man
because-well. because O'Rourke was
susceptible to premonitions.
He was a tall man and broad, the
neutrality-suspicious. wellgroomed,
carrying himself with an indeflnable
air of distinction. His face was rath-
er pale land therefore notable In that
concourse of dark skins), its features
strongly modelled. the mouth and chin

When this state is reached, to resort
to tonics is like whipping a tired

CHAPTER XVII,

Danny said O'Rourke
without looking up from the occupa-
ton which had engrossed his atten-
tion for the last three hours; and for
the first time in that period he spoke
audibly, making an end to the num-
bled confabulation he had been hold
ing with himself, a Murray's Guide, a
several steamship folders and a large
colored map of the Indian empire.

Danny thought laboriously. Twas

"Aw, yiss, sor."

Danny consulted O'Rourke's watch
on the bureau. "A quarter av twilve."
Then bestir yourself, ye lazy good
fof-nothing. and pack up me things"
"Aw!" cried Danny. expostulant.
Our train leaves at two. Ye have
an hour and half.
"Aw, but yer honor. is ut no rist at
all we'll liver be havin'?"
"Ye can rest on the train," said
O'Rourke. I've just ten days left in
which to reach Rangoon, where I've an
appointment to keep with a lady. Dan

Danny became suddenly extraordin-
arily busy. why did ye not say as

complained. LAS If l wouldn't work

tinued O'Rourke thoughtfully THE

of three days. Tbat'll leave us lit

steamer at Di'mind Harbor, sor? How
far's that from Calcutta, now, an will
there be thrains at thai hour av the
night?" r'
That's to be dealt with as it turns
up, Danny. There's only forty miles
between the two places, and If there's
no train, Wen charter a motor-car or
boat down the Hughli. :"
The latter expedient O'Rourke final
ly adopted, although he could have af-
forded a comfortable night in a ho-
tel at Calcutta. had he deemed 1t wise.
But in the fifty-six hours of unmitigat-
ed sweltering that he and Danny en-
dured in their flight across India he
had leisure to think matters over very
carefully, with the result that, all
things considered. he felt justified in
assuming the world to be in league
against him and in shaping his course
accordingly. Therefore it were un-
wise to permit himself to be seen and
recognized in Calcutta, or even to lin
ger on the soil of India an instant
longer than absolutely necessary.
Within an hour, then, of his arrival
at Howrah, he had, by dint of per-
sistence and rupees, succeeded in hir-
ing launch to take him from the ter
