A Good Suggestion.

The suggestion made in the Review
some days ago. in which the name of
Hon. Samuel N. Wheeler of Grand
Junction was brought forth as a good
candidate to represent the Democrat
ic party in the gubernatorial race this
years, seems to have struck a respon-
sive chord all over the state. The edi-
torials has been widely copied and in
each instance Mr.. Wheeler's name
has ELECTED the most favorable COM
ment.
1t will be a vast relief to rid the
party of office seeking officials who
are ready to further their ambitions
without regard or the resultant eff
feet upon the party or the people of
the state. All who know him are
confident that in Mr.. Wheeler they
have one man who will not listen
to the constant murmurings of high
er ambitions, but will give his time
and attention to the proper fulfill
ment of the duties of any office to
which he may be elected. leaving his
record as his chief claim for further
honors.
He is not a democrat in name only
or for political purposes only. but has
been for years one of the wheel hors-
es of the party He possesses every
qualification for the office of gov
ernor-ability. integrity and desire
to serve, not himself, but the people.
1t is apparent that the western
slope will have no difficulty in pre-
senting solid front in his behalf
and this. we believe, is all that is
needed to bring about his nomination.
If he prevails in the race for the
nomination the party will at last
have a man whom every Democrat
can support with the feeling that by
so doing he is helping 10 eliminate

and being now to some extent recov.

wide his eyes and looked the woman
in the face, inquiring with his faint.

done more than pass from open night
to the night OF an enclosed space. His
foot caught on some obstruction and
he went to his knees with cry that
was cross between sob and a
groan; and incontinently fell full
length upon an earthen floor, his head
plllowed on his arm, painting as II his
heart would break.
In the darkness above him someone
cried aloud. a startled cry, and then
the door was thrust to with a clang
and rattle of bolts. A match rasped
loudly and flicker OF light leaped
from small hand lamp and revealed
to Its bearer the tagged and quiyering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
low exclamation Of solicltudo and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply EMBODIED his neck
