questions solved That thought will
have to serve you for consolation
That was hardly the consolation
that would satisfy impetuous youth
and zeal in accomplishment
But Harlan had been learning les
sons in consolation.
The thought of Clare Kayanagh was
with him night and day. In spite of
all his searching she remained hidden.
He did not conffde his grief to any
one 1t brought pallor to his face and
listlessness in the daily duties that
bore upon him. Governor Weymouth
took note at last. And when the young
man asked for permission to go home
to the north country for time he re-
luctantly sent him away.
On the eve of his departure. which
had been announced by Il press that
now followed his movements with the
attention accorded to man of impor-
lance in state affairs, he obeyed
summons from Madeleine Presson.
She put letter into his hands. 1t was
addressed to Glare Kavanagh.
You will find her, Harlan" she
said comfortingly. Love will search
her out And when you find her give
her this letter. There are words from
woman to woman that woman under
stands
Harlan found his grandfather sitting
on the broad porch of the barracks
smoking and looking out across the
river valley.
The spirit in which he had left that
hateful legislature seemed to have de-
parted from the duke. The old quiz
zical CLINT was in his eyes as he grasp

Don't make game of me, GRANDPA

"Oh, I'm only expressing wicked
hope. There are some men in this
state that I'd like to see punished to
that extent" He chuckled- Put me
down for $4,000, first subscriber to

as possible from those who came to
solicit, to threaten, to complain. In
the opportunity given him to meet ev
cry man of Importance in the state he
had won respect, even regard. His
personality removed him from the
from the imputation that attached to
them His sincerity was evident. He
was frank to express his disappoint-
ment at the results of the legislation
he had assisted in procuring. He lis
tened attentively to the suggestions of
others. He made it plain that he was
not unalterably welded to law be-
cause he had been instrumental in
adding it to the code. He made known
to all his willingness to compromise on
everything except honesty, and day by
day he made men understand better
the basis of the system advocated by
his chief and himself.
They had FURNISHED the mirror of
politics. They held its new and bright
er surface up to the people that they
might gaze on themselves And in
time the people came to realize what
service had been done. And as they
realized it the name of young Thorn
ton went abroad in the state from
mouth to mouth, men speaking of him
as one who was entitled to the praise
that attaches to honesty unsmirched
by bigotry.
His optimism softened the asperities
which men found in the character of
the governor. He attracted to the grim
old man the loyalty of the youth of
the state and at the same time won
that loyalty for himself. He had come
forward at a time when men were
ready to accept new ideals, even if
they were obliged to wade to them
through such mire as now soiled the
execution of the new laws.
A proposed convention for the I'M
prejudiced consideration of the liquor
laws was taking form, and politicians
of the old school were pointing to 1.-The
wreck of the party"
"And I'll be passed down to history
as the wrecker,' said the governor,
talking to Harlan under the big elm
But you've got strong arms my boy
1 can see that you'll have much to do
in building anew out of the wreck,
you and those who are beginning to
appreciate you. 1 can see future of
much promise for you, Harlan
I'll be politely but firmly invited to
go back to the woods" protested the
young man.
you'll not be allowed to do it." re-
Piled the governor quietly. "You have
BEEN tested for your honesty. These
newer times have eyes to recognize
that quality. And the rogues are be-
