They were away before even the ca

them. The cheering was still going on
when the carriage started. From the
open windows OF the hall the riot of
the conventfon-voices and ~music-pur-
sued them until the racket Of the busy
street drowned II out.
At that moment, strangely enough,
something besides the fury and the re-
suits Of that tremendous convention
occupied Harlan's thoughts. While he
had stood beside General Weymouth
he had not looked down into the pit
Of roaring humanity. He had looked
straight up into the eyes Of Madeleine
Presson, whose gaze, by some chance,
caught his the moment he stepped upon
the platform. She had leaned on the
gallery rail and studied him intently.
In spite Of all else that had happened

The reformers are In control Of the

However, the duke gets him 10 run

and get him to accept the nomination
for governor in order to beat Arba

1t was a bitter taunt-an insult de-
