There is no justice in the op-

administration has been clean
and capable and in harmony

and righteous application of the

tions in its history. / firmly
believe that when the record
of the Republican party under
his wise leadership is fully
made known to the people they

Hooper, Tennessee
President Taft is personally
popular in Tennessee and his
administration commands gen.

upon a moan.
Hole and the first mate stood over
him. and the captains voice. guarded
but clear enough came to his ear:

ORourke lay silent, save for his
quick breathing. The first officer,
grinning inadvertently. sat down near
at hand. keeping a basilisk eye upon
the PROSTATE man while he fondled an
able-bodied, hammerless Webley.
Hole moved OF towards the gang

The Irishman swore beneath his
breath and watched the first officer.
The light from the lantern at the
gangway glanced DULY upon the POI
ished barrel OF the revolver. and the
cleaning line was steadily directed
towards O'Rourke's head. Upon re-
consideration he concluded to lie still.

Tor the present, at least, he was IN

was to be kept quiet at all hazards.

conceded discretion the better part of

gasped. and In the darkness ORourke
fancied he lost a shade or two Of his
rudy color.

Exhausted as he was, the Irishman
struggled with little skill before he
mastered his own surprise; and in the
end saw his fms written along the
blade of thin. keen knife which the
Greek mad whipped from the folds of
his garments and jerked threateningly
above his head.
1t was falling when ORourks saw
1t. In another breath he had been
stabbed. Unexpectedly the Greek
shrieked. dropped the knife as though
1t had turned suddenly white-hot in
hts hands. and leaped back from

street. In a thought blackness again
was all about him, but the hand
gripped his arm. hurrying him onward;
and he yielded blindly to its guidance
without power. for that matter. to
question or to object; what breath
he had he sorely needed. And as blird
ly he stumbled on for perhaps another
hundred yards, while the voice OF the
rabble made hideous the night be-
hind them. Hardly. indeed, had the
two whipped into the mouth of the
back-way ere It was choked by
swarm Of pursuers. But-"Niver

'Tis ourselves that'll outwit them.

foot caught on some obstruction and
