FEAR RETURN OF

Republicans Ready to Make
Political Capital Out
of Issue.

Republicans are preparing to make
campaign capital out of the efforts to
break down the civil service system and
throw the Government service once
more wide open to the spoils-hunting
politicians
while some Of the Republicans have
had q hand In the scheme Of doing away
with life terms in the Government serv-
Ice and limiting terms to seven years.
the plan had its origin among Demo-
cratic leaders of the House. Some OF
them have no sympathy with the civil
service system and have taken this in
direct and insidious method to crush II.
Hope for Political Capital.
Republican leaders are watching the
situation closely. Much is likely to be
heard in the Congressional and Presi.
Dental campaign of the attempts to re-
store the spoils system. That the coun.
try will be thoroughly aroused once II
understands fully what is being tried is

WIEN THE ROMANCE FADED
Plain-Spoken Husband Came to the
Point With a Few Words of
Unvarnisned Truth

Congressman Jim Mann was on his
way back from Chicago, and couldn't
help hearing the conversation of the
couple in the section right behind
his. They looked like newly married
folks, says Mack's National Monthly,
but were not on their honeymoon. as
Mann learned by deduction. The
woman laid down a newspaper. she
had been reading and said to her hus-
band:
DO you know. I wish I had one
Of these afinities. Oh, I think it
would be just grand to sit on a rock
with somebody and have him rave
about the incompa able golden color
OF my hair and tell me that my eyes
were the most beautiful in the whole
world, and
''Uh, huh" said the husband. yawn-
ing.
And that the delicate pink Of my
cheeks had been painted there by the
angels, and that he couldn't live with

that would be"

Mr.. Durham had Just finished his

I'm going to be neighborIy right

of simple frankness. Il want to Dor

had no time to get settled yet, and
there's so much to do l do know
which way to turn. hardly. But I've
got to get some wood down and want
to do it while the hauling's good"
That's all right" said Mr.. Durham.
Take it and welcome. It's out there

A day or two later the new neigh
Dor came again. This time he had
the oxen with him. He nodded cheer
fully as he passed the house and re-
marking casually, Il spose it's ali

up. This time he kept it two days.
A week later he came when Mr..
Durham was away, and whistling mer-

days, and then had to go after the sled
himself
On the next occasion when the new
neighbor called, he found Mr.. Durham

he began:

CHAPTER VI.

Death, Life and the Resurrection.
The man was coming back from one
of his rare visits to the settlements
Ahead Of him he drove a train of
burros who. well broken to their work.
followed with docility the wise old
leader in the advance. The burros
were laden with his supplies for the
approaching winter. The season was
late, the mountains would soon be i'm
passable on account of the SHOWS, in
deed he chose the late season always
for his buying in order that he might
not be followed, and it was his hab-
It to buy in different places at different
years that his repeated and expected
presence at one spot might not arouse
suspicion.
Intercourse with his fellow men was
confined to this yearly visit to a set
Element. and even that was of the
briefest nature, confined always to the
business in hand, Even when busy
in the town he pitched a small tent in
the open on the outskirts and dwelt
apart. No men there in those days
pried into the business OF other men
too closely Curiosity was neither
safe nor necessary. If he aroused tran
silent interest or speculation 1t soon
died away. He vanished into the
mountains and as he came no more
to that place, he was soon forgotten.
Withdrawing from his fellow men
and avoiding their society, this man
was never so satisfied as when alone
in the silent hills His heart and spirit
rose With every step he made away
from the main travelled roads or the
more difficult mountain trails.
For several days he journeyed
through the mountains, choosing the
widest and most inaccessible parts
for his going. Amid the canons and
peaks he threaded his way with IN
erring accuracy. ascending higher and
higher until at last he reached the
mountain aerie. the lonely hermitage,
where he made his home. There he
Teveled in his isolation. What had
been punishment, expiation, had at
last become pleasure.
Civilization was bursting through
the hills in every direction, railways
were being pushed hither and thither,
the precious metals were being dis
covered at various places and after
them came boards of men and with
them-God save the mark-women;
but his section Of the country had
hitherto been unYisited even by hunt
ers, explorers, miners or pleasure
