showing a spark Of ire.
"At my age there isn't time to make

calm but intensely In earnest.
"Then you are all for reform-one of

senator. He cast look of reproach

manager had loosed tiger on their
defenseless party.
The general smiled-smiled so sweet

sentiment

There was appeal in the tone-there

even Senator Pownal. Thelismer
Thornton was In chair close to him.

during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature. Harlan helps sub.
due the fire. learns of his nomination
and tells his grandfather that he will
decline 1t 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 Clare,
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
leine Presson. Weymouth asks him to
release him from his promise to run
for governor.

The carriage wheels had grated to
standstill against the curb In front OF
the big hotel General Weymouth put
out his hand and took Harlan's In
firm clasp.
"That sounds like my call to duty,
Mr. Thornton" he declared. 81 listen,
! obeyr Then he dropped his earnest
ness. Let this little talk remain
secret between us. These practical
politicians wouldn't understand. Wen
Just 60 ahead and find out how much
honesty is left in this state, and you
shall help me hunt for 1t, for old eyes

going outside the politicians to find

On the second floor Of the hotel The
lismer Thornton was pacing the CORR
dor, hands behind his back, putting his
cigar. He was paying no heed to the
men who were streaming past him In
both directions, going and coming from
the rooms of the candidates. Everett
and Spinney were in their suits, ex-
tending hospitality with questionable
cigars and Ice water.
The duke. towering, distracted.
swaying along ponderously, close to
the wall Of the corridor, eyes on the
head of the stairway, was as indiffer-
ent to the uproar as he was to those
who passed.
A man who was somewhat flushed
and q bit uncertain in his gait came
out of the state committee headquar-
ters.~ He planted himself In front of
Thornton.
"Thelismer," he said Familiarity.
"I've been trying to get something out
Of Luke. He won't say. Now, what
do you know about It? Is the party
going to be honest? Are we going to
get that resubmission plank In the
platform this year2'
They haven't asked me to write the
platform, Phon." t

eral tapped knuckle on the table, and
the reader waited.
Weymouth turned his gaze full upon
the senator when he spoke.
Gentlemen. understand me Alright
at the start I'm not here to try to
dictate. That would be presumptuous
in me, for am not yet your candidate.
Tomorrow is not here"
Wasgatt's pop eyes protruded still
more. He stared from man to man.
and II became necessary for Thelis-
mer Thornton to take one more into
the secret. He did 1t bit ungracious-
ly. He had not expected the general
to be so blunt and precipitate. The
candidate waited patiently until the
brief explanation was concluded and
Wasgatt had pledged fidelity.
II want you fully to understand my
spirit In this went on the general.
THAT plank, there, comes out Of the
platform II you expect me to stand
on It,"
The senator, challenged by his eyes,
spoke.

81 do not. But that proposition, no
matter how good ii sounds, is the sug-

this time. However, he is still i'm the
East and word of the disaster did not
reach him until today 1t is not
known what his future plans will be,
but the probabilities are that he will
close down the mine for the winter,
as it will take several months to get

The property of the Great North
ern Development Company at Cop
per Mountain has been worked for
eight years past and is the most ex-
tensively developed copper mine in
Alaska. Over one million dollars
has been expended and nearly 5000
feet of tunnels have been driven in
order to follow various veins and
open up the property in readiness for
extensive shipping. While most of
the ore is of a medium grade, it is
there in great quantities. Negotia-
tons for the building of spur of
fifteen miles to connect with the Cop
per River & Northwestern railroad
at Strelna, have been going on for
the past year and it is expected that
construction will be done next
Spring.
