shone white through the skin.

Taking the weapon in his hands, he looked
down at it for an instant, and then slowly
broke the breech open, exposing the little
circle of bright copper shells nesting in their
places. The prisoners eyes were staring
painfully at the slowly moving hands. In

watched so anxiously. Slowly the General
picked the cartridges out, and laid them on
the table. One by one they sounded as they
fell, until there was but one left. With a
quick motion he snapped the weapon shut,
and at the sharp, metallic click every man S
heart in that room leaped in accord with it.
Slowly the General kicked the stool be-

round the table until he stood beside the

word.
The mans glance dropped to the gun, and
he stepped forward swiftly. The other men
made as if to spring upon him; but the Gen
eral lifted his hand. The weird figure swept
each face in the room curiously, and then
again regarded the weapon in his hand.
Suddenly throwing up his head, he stepped
steadily forward, and out through the door.
Allison's hand was still raised in the air as
the other disappeared. For single instant
there was strained, heartbreaking silence,
and then a heavy, crashing report. The
Generals hand dropped like plummet.
The correspondents leaped to the low door
way, while outside there were EXPLANATIONS
and the stamp and tread of running feet. A
horse whinnied inquiringly into the night.
BARROW at the door saw group of fig
ures gathered about white splash on the
sand, and wavered. He looked backward,
and then returned into the room. The Gen
eral had fallen upon his knees at the table,
and his head was buried in his arms, while
his broad back shook convulsively.
From somewhere within him there came
a rush of sympathetic understanding to the
boys lips, and the quick tears filled his eyes.
He moved forward and did what no man in
that army would have dared. He laid his
hot fingers upon General Allison's clenched
hand.
Slowly up from the table rose that bowed
head, and the dark eyes, so full of strain and
agony, seemed to stare forth from face of
ashen gray. For an instant the older man
looked up at the youth beside him in mute
questioning.
1He was my-brother!" he said brokenly
When De Lesseps returned an instant

the Generals shoulders.

Washington, Jan S.-Witl hundreds
of Democrats already in Washington
and more coming on every train to at
tend the Jefferson banquet it became
apparent that William J. Bryan is
again to be the central figure of
Democratic politics.
The capitol and hotel corridors
were crowded with men discussing the
peerless leader" and specializing on
which candidate for presidential hon
ors will get his support.
Probably no Democratic national
committee meeting was ever SO well
attended as this one.
The first real fight undoubtedly will
come on the question of naming the
chairman of the committee on ar
rangements for the cony sntion.
Tom Taggart of Indiana is the only
candidate who has appeared so far.
But Taggart is an old line Democrat.
He is identified with the Harmon
campaign. In the corridors at the
capitol 1t was predicted that the Clark,
Wilson and Underwood forces, with
such other factions as can be mus.
tered, will fight Taggart to a finish.
