PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

Thelismer 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
q candidate, but his grandfather in
slsts. Harlan and Miss Clare Kava-
nagh are very much interested in each
other, and Thornton and Clare's fa-
ther 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 1t because it was dishonesty
procured.

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
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor in order to beat Arba
Epinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
.leins Presson. Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders BY insist
Ing upon writing his own platform
and upon q rigid enforcement Of the
prohihatosy law. They refuse to nom
tnAte him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth, who
learns that spinnsy has been br1bed

others. Weymouth eompels them to
nominate him, and Harlan shares In
his victory. Weymouth declares he

he can get past with the people-ihey'u
think IL more or less bluff anyway,
even if it's Ward Weymouth talking
But the kind of dishonesty you re
standing for. Luke, wont get past.
They'll ride you out of the state on a
rail-and Ill furnish the rail"
I'll furnish something more" cried
Harlan, unable to restrain himself any
longer. Tomorrow morning | shall put
$4,000 into General Waymouths cam
paign fund-my own money"
You see. Luke" drawled the duke,
lit really looks as though Ward would
be elected anyway. l might subscribe
little myself II only l had a rich
grandfather, the same as Harlan has"
The unhappy chairman sat down in
his chair again and struggled with his
anger. He could not give 1t rein: he
realized that. Party and personal in
terests were all teopardized. But he
knew he could not afford to have utter
personal disgrace accompany his de-
feat.
There was silence In the room, then
the duke said:
Gentlemen, I'll tell you what I'll do
I've been waiting to be called on for
my contribution for the fund, but for
some reason business hasn't been
started In this campaign as soon as
hoped. Harlan was "A little excited Just
now. l think, seeing that the state
committee is now going to take hold
Of the campaign, he'll be able to get
other boys will chip when they're
asked. For the Thornton family
lead off subscriptions with a pledge Of
5000. I'm that much interested In
seeing my-my original choice for gov
ernor elected by good majority"
Presson got up and stamped down
his trousers legs.
II know when I'm licked" he admit
ted. And I've been licked In the
whole seventeen rounds Of this cam
paign. Look here. General Weymouth,
I'm done fighting. simply throw my
self on your mercy. ! know how you
feel toward me. But I've got just this
won't fight for his own interests and
his friends. I'll take hold Of this cam
paign and elect you. II there's any
crumbs coming to me after that all
right! I'm at your mercy"
II tell you again I've no time or in
clination for petty revenge. That Is
| not my nature" General Weymouth
was as cold and calm as inexorable
| fate itself. Il accept your pledge,
Chairman Fresson. Not one interest
Of yours that is right will suffer at my
hands. On the other hand not one
interest that is wrong will be protect
ed. It's simply up to you'll"
II don't suppose you care to 60 over
the plans with me tonighti"
II shall ask you to confer with Mr..
Harlan Thornton on all matters. He
knows my wishes and plans. He will
remain here at headquarters as my
representative"
II the chairman felt that he was be-
ing put under guard and espionage, his
face did not betray 1t. He took leave
Of the general and escorted out his as
sociate committeeman.
Harlan expected that his grandfath-
er would have some rather serious tall,
for his ear. But he merely remarked,
| leaving him at the door Of his room :
III you keep on. son. I'll be passed
down to posterity simply as Harlan

lHAIRMAN PRESSON put It
plai1ly to General Weymouth
that while he aVmpathiIed to
some extent with the latter's

desires for general reform, there were
certain interests that propped the party
and must be handled with discretion In
the cleanup. He asked that tax re-
form be smoothed over. that the corpo-
rations bs allowed an opportunity to
"turn around" and finally that the pro-
hibitory law should bs let alone. He
argued warmly that General Weymouth
could not BE- criticised by either side II
he left the law a. he found it. The
radicals were satisfied with the various
enactments as they stood. and If there
were infractions 1t became a matter Of
the police and the sheriffs and the gov
ernor could not be held accountable.
And he laid stress on the fact that the
people did not want a governor to tar
nish the dignity Of his office by aght-
ing barrooms.
But Chairman Presson found an In
flexible old man who listened to all he
said and at the end declared his plat
form broadly and without details.
Those details of proposed activity he
kept to himself. The platform was:
! hat it behooved all men in the state
to be prompt and honest in obeying
the law. That the man who did not
obey the law would find himself in
trouble. Moreover, position, personal
lty or purse could purchase no excep-
tiOns.
That was platform which Mr. Pres
son could not attack, of course. He
listened to 1t sullenly, however. He
was angry because common decency
prevented him from expressing his
opinion. He had heard other candi-
dates pompously declare the same
thing, but he had not been worried by
fear that saints had come on earth.
This calm old man from whose fiber
Of ambition the years had burned out
selfishness. greed, graft and chicanery
was different proposition. His words
sounded as though he meant what he
said.
Presson went back to headquarters
swearing and sulking.
In this spirit did candidate and man
ayers face the campaign.
1t is not easy to hide family squab-
bles of that magnitude. The men con-
cerned in the principal secret of the
state convention kept their mouths
shut for the sake of self preservation.
But unquiet suspicion was abroad. The
Democrats nosed. figured, guessed.

CRIES TO GET IT'S OWN WAY
Child Soon Learns to Know the Effect
of Tears on Mother, Declares
an Authority.

A mother can seldom Withstand the
tears of her baby, especially if it is
her first baby. And yet the fear that
babies will cry, or the mothers soft
ness of heart, accounts for much OF
the over-indulgence~ Of children. As
soon as a child finds out that a
mother is perfectly willing for him to
cry if he, likes, and as long as he likes,
and that it doesn't disturb her in the
least, but she just sits complacently
(outwardly!) by and reads or sews,
crying loses it's virtue and life from
that lesson on grows decidedly more
sunshiny. For most of the crying OF

ish. In the first place anyone: who
lives near babies expects to hear
them cry more or less, because all
babies cry. But no baby cries SO
much as the one whose mother Is SO

trying to prevent it. Hard.hearted II
may sound, but the common sense
fact remains nevertheless that the
crying of young child shall have no

whether the crying is symptom OF

HAVE PRIVILEGE OF. CREATION
Consolation for Women Who Do Not
Enjoy All the Advantages They
See Others Have, IN

Women are taught very wrongly
about love. They are allowed to read
love stories at a tender age and form
totally fatal notion of love.
They see themselves as charmers at
q very early age. They begin trying
to captivate, to charm, to enslave the
opposite sex, before they are out of
the nursery. They live and die
many, many Of them-without ever in
the least understanding the truth
about love or, in fact, about anything
else. >-z <e~a~ 20 III
Women are very envious by nature.
There seems to be plenty of justifca-
ton in this one way you look at it.
Why should one woman have luxury,
ease, travel, society and fine clothes
and another woman have only toll
and loneliness and privation? I'm
This is useless question. We
cannot explain the inequalities Of life.
but there is an answer to the woman
who asks this question. It is this:
The more barren the field the greater
the privilege Of creation. You have

the way Of Joy and beauty; you have
an opportunity to create your own at

1t so.-Pittsburg Leader.
