PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

Ihelismer Thornton, locally known
as Duke of Canibas," for fifty years
boss Of his district, plans to retire and
send his grandson, Harlan, to the leg
islature as his successor. The reform
ers in his district, who are called
"Ramrodders," endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are
led by Ivus Niles, Evangelist Dudley
and others. Harlan is unwilling to be
candidate, but his grandfather in
sists. Harlan and Miss Clare Kava-
nagh are very much interested in each
other, and Thornton md Clare's ia
Their try to break up this intimacy.
The reformers are in control of the
caucus, but Thornton's followers STAN
pede them by starting forest fire and
during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature. Harlan helps sub
due the fire, learns Of his nomination
and tells his grandfather that he will
decline it because it was dishonesty
procured.
However, the duke gets him to run
for the Office, settles With farmers who
lost by the forest fire and practically
assumes management Of the whole
state campaign. Harlan meets Clare,
who, gowned and gloved. looks more
mature. Thornton and Harlan pay a
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor in order to beat Arba
Spinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
leine Presson. Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders by insist
ing upon writing his own platform
and upon a rigid enforcement of the
prohibitory law. They refuse to nom
mate him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth. who
learns that Spinney has been bribed
others. Weymouth compels them to
nominate him, and Harlan shares in
his victory. Weymouth declares he
will enforce the prohibitory law, but
ue TeDuUS lne RamrOddefS. lie makes
Harlan his chief of staff for the cam
paign. Glare reveals her love for Har-
Ian, then goes away to be educated.
Weymouth compels his party leaders
to more actively support him. and
Madeleine Presson tells Harlan he's
foolish to have such high political
ideals. Weymouth is elected. Harlan
proposes marriage to Madeleine, but
gets no reply. Governor Weymouth
makes Harlan sponsor for a drastic
prohibition law. Linton, one of Made
leine's suitors, insists that Harlan cease
being her escort because Spinney has
circulated scandalous story about
Harlan and Clare.

A project had come to him, prompt

common sense. A man more accus-

have attempted it. But all his north
country passion rioted in him at that
moment.
The night before he had wept be-

Glare Kavanagh were threatened and
he could only beat the ugly phantom
of scandal helplessly.
Now suddenly he found work for
his hands, and his hands had always

He hurried down the stairs into the

the measure that he was expected to
sponsor.
1t provided for commission OF three
men to be appointed by the governor
and to remain under his direct control,
a bipartisan board. These men were
to appoint special deputies to any num-
Der desired. To any county, city or
town these deputies were to be dis
patched when it became apparent that
police or sheriffs were lax or dishon-
est in enforcing the prohibitory law.
No limits were placed on the number
of these men empowered to kill sa-
looms and put liquor peddlers out of
business. No special amount of money
was to be asked of the legislature.
The bill provided that the state treas
ury should stand behind the move
ment.
The young man was quick to under
stand the tremendous power granted
to the governor by that bill. Under

sheriff could enrich himself by selling

in that respect. declaring that public
opinion favored the saloons and MAX
ing local law superior to the constitu-
tional law of the state. This bill pro-
vided that a judge must impose both
fines and Imprisonment when convic-
tons were secured, and therefore no
judge could carry on any longer

posing fines alone
1t was the principle Of enforced pro-
hibition put on trial.
Harlan was sufficiently familiar with
the old plan to know how this new
system would upset the entire politi-

SJ Harlan with something like
desperation. Under his calmness he
had a long hidden, consuming passion
for Madeleine Presson, a love that had
grown through the years and now

If he had any doubts of the truth Of

he said from the corridor.
''Take a warning from me too. Don't
you get into my affairs!''
Thornton hurried to the headauar-
tiers that the corporations maintained
in the hotel for Spinney. Spinney was
not there. He ran back to his room
and telephoned to the clerk Of the ho-
tel. He was informed that Mr.. Spin
ney had gone away for few days.
1t was late, but he threw on his coat

ped, holding him back with her strong
young arms. He had hardly looked at
her till then. She had changed in the
months since he had seen her. Wo-
manly dignity was mingled with the
high spirit that had inspired the child.
Her garb, her new mien, made her
beauty brilliant.

she cried. 81 came here because |

In that moment his heart was re-

emotions he understood himself at
last. He understood that the love
which mates, which sweeps away all
calculation, which Yields, trusts and
never pauses to analyZe or compute, is
love that disdains mere admiration Of
intellect or lure Of beauty.
His quiet nature had depths. They
had never been stirred till then. The
child love had been budding there
ready for blossom. 1t had been fed by
faith and ripened by association. Pas
sion now brought it to fruition. Made
leine Presson had appealed only to one
side of him. This girl rounded out the
whole philosophy Of love. She was not
a divinity. His nature did not crave
divinity. In his strength, sincerity, In
genuousness, his mans soul. primitive
as the free woods, required the mate,
one to be cherished and protected.
And so now, when all his soul was
stirred, this girl, so bitterly in need of
protection, the girl whom the years
had endeared to him, came into his
heart to reign there.
Words, emotion, choked him. But he
could not wait then. She saw some
thing in his eyes she had never seen
there till that moment. But before she
could understand he carried her along
with him.
"Come! can't waltz he cried.
When he flung open the door of the
committee room the men in it were
standing in silence. Presson had
picked up the Thornton bill" and was
reading it, Sowing Whatever Linton
had said, it was plain that the father
of Madeleine Presson had just found
something which diverted his atten-
