PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

Thelismer Thornton, locally known
~ Duke of(Canibas," for fifty years
boss of his district, plans to retire and
send bis 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 and 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 1t 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
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
10 retire by Thornton. Presson and
others. Weymouth compels them to
nominate him, and Harlan shares In
his victory. Weymouth declares he
WIN enforce the prohibitory law and
Invites Harlan to go home with him.

He could not think of any one in all

cross Of the churchyard. A voice out
Of the silence startled him. A white
figure stood in the shadow of the
church porch.
"Come here, big boy" she said. I'm
not a ghost. I'm only Clare. I've

episodes OF his journey he ventured t.
leave out details. But she insisted that
he give them.
"I want to know about the world

all these weeks. Now want It to

The expected has happened. Nearly
everyone predicted Democratic

through glass darkly to see that the
Republican trouble extends over a
period of four years. President Taft
was the choice of President Roosevelt
four years ago, but when Mr.. Taft reach
ed Washington he proceeded to do as
he pleased and trouble ensued. 1t did
not please Roosevelt and many of the
other leaders of the party. More and
more Mr.. Taft allied himself with the
Wall street interests and he proceeded
to read such men as Senator La

defeat of Mr.. Taft to Roosevelt, but the
belief is almost unanimous that the ad-
ministration was taking the govern

people have spoken, Taft losing all
but four states. Such snow storm
has seldom fallen on the leader of
one of the big parties. AS to the third
term idea, Roosevelt can explain that.
The forefathers of this republic
frowned upon the third term and so
has the nation. The people have

will measure the success of the
