note for his followers and supporters
In the new party. 1t lays down the plan
OF battle to be waged by the National
Progressive party. He discusses those
principles under twelve subdivisions

with no real soul within either, divided
on artificial lines, boss ridden and priv
nege controlled, each tumble of in
congruous elements and neither daring
to speak out wisely and fearessly what
should be said on the vital issues Of
the day" AS opposed to this incon-
gruity and insincerity Of action he as
serted that the National Progressive
platform will be "a contract with the
people," with definite and concrete pro
vision to be carried out if the people
ratify the contract on election day as
exactly and honestly las if 1t were ac-
tually enforceable under the law"
No Help From the Old Party Machines.

cripples and forecloses any real or gen

twitched appreciatively as he shifted
the bonfire.

The Mountebank and the Hunchback.
Up the Mount with stumbling step,
head down-bent and the same stupid
expression on his face, the mounte-
bank went docilely, though not silent
ly. To one of the soldiers at his side
he spoke often, voicing that dull APP
prehensiOn he had manifested when
first ordered into custody.
DO you think they'll put me in a
dungeon"
Dungeon, indeed" the man an,
swered not ill-naturedly. For such as
you! No, no! They'll keep the
oubliettes, calottes, and all the dark
holes for people of conseQuence-trait-
ors, or your fine gentry consigned by

Then what do you think they win
do with me-"
wait, and find Quit" returned the
soldier roughly. and the mouutCbank
spoke no more for some time: held
his head lower, until, regarding him,
his guardian must needs laugh.

they'll probably lock you up for the
night with the rest of rag-tag," indi-
eating the other prisoners, a short
distance ahead, in the cellar, or al
monry, or auberge des voleurs; and in
the morning, if you're lucky and the
Governor has time to attend to such
as you, it may be you'll escape with a
few stripes and a warning"
The auberge des voleurs.-the
thieves inn!" said the man. What
is that?"
Bah! You want to know too much!
If now your legs only moved as fast
as your tongue" And the speaker
completed the sentence with a sig
niticant jog on the others shoulders
Whereupon the mOuntebank quick
ened his footsteps, once more ceased
