"THE GATES OF SILENCE"

There was a pause, confused buzzing
OF the wires For a moment the girl
dreaded that SAKE was about to ring off.

me. TWO thousand pounds! Good Lord

Betty's cheeks were flaming; the hand
that pressed the receiver against her ear
shook.

He was one of the least imaginative of
young men; his nerves were in superb
condition; yet. for all that. he was con-
scious that there seemed to be about this
still, old street an almost palpable at

No. Ssh was house. if possible, more

Jack Rimington remembered now, with
a sudden Strengthening of the shoulders
and a hardening of the lips. That was
the euphonious sobriquet of the carrion
crow who had picked poor Tobys bones
white. For the moment he suspected a
trap. Could the BLACKBOARD have got
some inkling or suspicion of what lay in
store for him? Could he be in league with
SAKE, or SAKE with him? Almost before
the thought was definite Remington dis

haps, because, until a day or two since,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-05-31

he dreaded in him the successful rival;
but he did not believe that of him. Fitz-
stephen was a pariah even TO his own
class. 1t was merely a coincidence that
had brought the men to lodge under one
roof Perhaps, no doubt, in fact, the
house belonged to the money-lender and
he let it out as chambers for bachelors.
The fact that the hall door stood wide
open lent eountenance to the idea. Rim
ngton entered it and looked for name
rack on the inner wall instinctively. 1t
was while he looked. and looked in vain
that he became aware bewilderingly of
the intricate chorus of ticking. clocks.
He wondered if there was watchmaker's
shop next door. and turned to see, with
a new astonishment, the manner of en-
trance hall in which he stood.
If a man is to be judged by the hoHse
he inhabits, what a strange man SAKE
must be! That was Rimingtons first
thought. Then he sickened, remembering
the house was Fitzstephen's, the usurer.
No doubt these things, singly so valuable
and lovely, so tragically ugly in their hud-
died confusion. were wreckage from half
a hundred of the homes that he had
ruined.
And as he stood there staring about
him In the economical glImmer Of light
to which the solitary gas Jet had been
turned, sharply through the stiffness of
the house, whose silence, save for the
tick tacking of the clocks, seemed TO
brood like a tangible presence, came the
sharp shrilness of a frightened woman's
cry.

Republican Candidate for
Governor Draws Big Audi

FARGO, Oct. 19.-lCongressman l..
3. Hanna returned home from the
tirst weeks speaking tour Of his cam.
paign for governor Of North Dakota.
The time was spent In the northern
tier of counties Of the state, where no
visited many cities and delivered five
political addresses before large audi.
ences which turned out to meet him.
Everywhere he went he was rendered
q warm reception.
Mr.. Hanna spoke at Devils Lake,

brose. At the latter three places p.

state and republican nominee for con.

MIR. Hanna is greatly pleased with
the outlook and says that In every re-
spect 1t is most gratifying.
Fine Crop Yield.
AT Crosby" he said, a street mar.
ket was being conducted the day |
was there. There was a fine exhibit
|Of vegetables. In fact, l never saw
such fine crops as they are having In
the northwestern part Of tho state.
They are better than anywhere In the
whole northwest.
THE wheat yield runs about twen-
lty.fye to thirty bushels to the acre,
and In one instance I was told 1t ran
to .forty.four bushels to the acre. The
oat crop is remarkable. The yield
runs anywhere from 80 to 100 bushels
to the acre and the maximum record
reported to me was 1856 bushels. Think
of that! The fax is splendid"
Next week sir. Hanna will campaign
through the western part of the state,
and is now planning an itinerary IN
the vicinity Of Marnarth and Hettin-
ger. He will remain at home for the
balance Of this week. as there are
certain things here which need his
attention in Fargo. "

Greene of Vermont were greeted by an
the rally at Nallingford this evening. For
two hours the people listened intently tn
the speeches and there was a storm of
applause when the Rhode Island man
referred to Taft an man Of unlimited
patience, loyalty and sand but one who
abhors personal advertising. The speak
ers were introduced by A. G.. Stone.
Mr.. Greene gave the first address and
made his remarks wholly to young men
who have the fuzzy wuzzy" idea that
they want to become Bull Moose. He
pointed out the necessity of voters look
ing carefully ahead before changing front.
He admitted that the Republican party
needs refreshing but argued that the
housekeeuer who wants to clean her
dwelling does not burn up the whole
structure to bring about the change de-
sired. 1t Will not help affairs at Wash
,nyton TO defeat men at home whom we
know well. and vote for somebody whom
We don't know
Mr. Greene lauded the various can
d,dates on the republican State ticket
and asked If II were logical to knock
these men ON the head when we rec
opnize their progressive work for the
State II Is not necessary to leave
the party because one does not agree
