ROOSEVELT PLATFORM is

SAYS CHARLES .. HILLES

places OF these men have been taken by
those who are known as Progressives
In the house similar changes within
the Republican party have taken place.
Mr.. Cannon has retired from the speak
ership, but even before he was retired
by Democratic majority he had been
stripped of his power by Republican
ProgressiVes, foremost of whom was
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
sets, one of the staunchest support
ers of President Taft Representative
Dalzell has failed of denomination
President Taft, although he did not
deem it proper for the head of one
branch of the government so far to in
terfere with another CO. ordinate branch
as to compass the defeat of Mr. Cannon.
who was a candidate for reelection
and whose reelection President Roose-
welt had never cared to oppose, did lend
encouragement to those who opposed
the reelection of the speaker and he
gave his cordial support to those who
sought and achieved the modification Of
the house rules whereby the speakers
power was curtailed.
Nor has President Taft ever opposed
any progressive movement in the SEN
ate. The charge that he sought to dis
cipline certain senators by Withholding
patronage because they were progress
sives is false He did bring pressure to
bear on senators who, calling them
selves progressives, sought to block pro-
gressive legislation for purposes of their
own and who did hesitate to misrepre-
sent the administration and the railway
rate bill 1t sought to have enacted.
Of course, the defeated insurgents lost
no opportunity to misrepresent the ad-
ministration and the bill. but the people
have been enjoying the Dement'S of that
bill just the same, and only recently
were the express companies Of the coun
try ordered to reduce their rates under
a provision of that very bill.

frail political barque which has no mo-
tive power but the ambition of its cap
tain, no compass but the whims of a
political opportunist.
Neither is it progressive to attempt to
launch a new political party with such a
platform as was adopted by the Third
Termers at Chicago. That pronounce
ment is not "a confession of faith" 1t
is merely a collection of disconnected
propositions, each of which may be ad-
vocated by some progressive, but none
of which is advocated by all, and which
was concocted solely for the purpose of
tempting the fancy Of a wide variety of
economic thinkers.

device of Politician"
No man can be at once a Socialist
and an anarchist, a single taxer, a pro-
tectionist and a free trader. But the
Third party platform contains Its bid
for the support of each. 1t is the inge-
NOUS device of a politician who under
estimates the capacity OF the people to
think for themselves.
Then. too, the Third party has no
reason for being other than the over
weaving ambition of one man again to
enjoy the power and prerogative Of the
highest office in the land. Its candi-
date is not a progressive at heart. Had
he been he would have eliminated him
self and devoted his energies at the Re-
publican national convention to nomi-
mating some we'll known Progressive
like Governor Hadley or Senator Cum
Minis. But he wanted only the nomlna-
ton for himself, and even the sugges-
ton that he deliver his support to an
other aroused him to an almost insane
fury.
And once President Taft was noni
mated there was no excuse for seeking
to disrupt the Republican party, for it
was and is the party of progress. 1t
has become the custom of some writ
ers and speakers to hold up to obloquy
certain senators and representatives as

been passing into private life.

CHAPTER vi.

Death, Life and the Resurrection.
The man was coming back from one
of his rare visits to the settlements.
Ahead Of him he drove a train OF
burros who, we'll broken to their work,
followed with docility the wise old
leader in the advance. The burros
were laden with his supplies for the
approaching winter. The season was
late; the mountains would soon be i'm
passable on account of the SHOWS, in
deed he chose the late season always
for his buying in order that he might
not be followed, and it was his hab-
it to buy in different places at different
years that his repeated and expected
presence at one spot might not arouse
suspicion.
Intercourse with his fellow men was
confined to this yearly visit to a set
Element, and even that was of the
briefest nature, confined always to the
business To- hand. Even when busy
in the town he pitched a small tent in
the open on the outskirts and dwelt
apart. No men there in those days
pried into the business of other men

he fired again and again. Satisfied at
last that the bear was dead, and OBJ
serving that he had fallen upon the
clothes Of the bather, he turned, de-
scended the stream for a few yards
until ne G." to a place where it was
easily fo4 udble, stepped through it
without a glance toward the woman
shivering in the water, whose sensa-
ton so far as a mere man could, he
thoroughly understood and appreciate
ed, and whose modesty he fain would
spare. having not forgotten to be a
gentleman in five years Of his own so
ciety-high test of quality, that.
He climbed out upon the bank, up
rooted small tree, rolled the bear
clear of the heap of woman's clothing
and marched straight ahead of him up
the canon and around the bend.
Thereafter, being man, he did not
faint or fall, but completely unnerved
he leaned against the canon wall,
dropped his gun at his feet and stood
there trembling nightly, sweat be-
dewing his forehead, and the sweat
had not come from his exertions. In
one moment the whole even tenor Of
his life was changed. The one
glimpse he had got Of those white
shoulders, that pallid face, that golden
head raised from the water, had swept
him back five years. He had seen
once more in the solitude a woman.
Other women he had seen at a dis
lance and avoided in his yearly visits
had passed him by remotely. but here
he was brought in touch intimately
with humanity. He who had taken
life had saved it. A woman had sent
him forth; was woman to call him

fxity in the gaze she turned upon him
and he wavered under it. It annoyed
him. It bespoke a little of the dom
nance Of the human But she was
too surprised, too unnerved, too des-
perately frightened to put forth the
full power Of mind over matter. There
was piteous appeal IN her gaze. The
bear realized this and mastered her
sufficiently.
She did not know whether she was
in the water or in the air; there were
but Two points upon which her con-
seriousness was focused In the vast
ellipse of her imagination. Another
moment or two and all coherepcy OF
thought would be gone. The grizzly
still unsettled and uneasy before her
awful glance, but not deferred by it,
turned it's great head sideways lit
tie to escape the direct immobile
stare brought his sharp clawed foot
down heavily and lurched forward.
Scarcely had minute elapsed in
which all this happened. That huge
threatening heave of the great body
toward her relieved the tension. She
found voice at last. Although it was
absolutely futile, she realized as she
cried, her released lips framed the
loud appeal.
"Help! for Gods sake"
Although she knew she cried but
to the bleak walls of the canon, the
dropping pines, the rushing river, the
distant heaven, the appeal went forth
accompanied by the mightiest con-
Duration known to man.
For Gods sake, help!"
How dare poor humanity so plead,
the doubter cries. What is it to God
if one suffers, another bleeds, another
dies? What answer could come out of
that silent sky? Sometimes the Lord

whisper which is his own, and the
sound of which we fail to catch be-
cause of our own ignoble babble.
The answer to her prayer came
with a roar in her nervous frightened
ear like a clap of thunder. Ere the
first echo of it died away, it was sue
ceeded by another and another and
another, echoing, rolling, reverberat-
ing among the rocks in ever diminish
ing but long drawn out peals.
On the instant the bear rose to his
feet, swayed slightly and struck as at
an imaginary enemy with his weighty
paws. A hoarse, fRightful guttering
roar burst from his red sIayering jaws,
then he Iurched side ways and fell
forward, fighting the, air madly for a
moment, and lay STILL.
With staring eyes that missed no
detail, she saw that the brute had
been shot in the head and shoulder
three times and that he was appar-
emily dead. The revulsion that came
over her Yves beWildering; she swayed
again, this time not from the thrust
of the water, but with sick faintness.
The tension suddenly taken off, I'M
strung, the loose bow Of her spirit
Quivered helplessly; the arrow of her
life almost fell into the stream.
And then a new and more appalling
terror swept over her. Some man had

chill water. The anguish Of that mo-
ment was greater than before. She
could be killed, torn to pieces, de-
Voured, that was a small thing, but
that she should be so outraged in her

the hunter had not come. She sunk
lower in the water for moment fain

she was. Yet, although she froze
where she was and persisted with cold
she could not go out on the bank to
dress, and it would avail her little,
she saw swiftly, since the huge mon
ster had fallen a dead heap on her
clothes.
Now all this, although it takes min
utes to tell, had happened in but a
few seconds. Seconds sometimes in
clude hours, even lifetime, in their
brief composition. She thought it
would be just as well for her to sink
down and die in the water. when a

He had been walking for some
hours, and as he grew thirsty it oc-
Cured to him to descend to the level
Of the brook which he heard below him
and OF which he sometimes caught
a flashing glimpse through the trees.
He scrambled down the rocks and
found himself in a thick grove of
pine. Making his way Slowly and with
great difficulty through the tangle of
fallen timber which lay in every di-
rection, the sound of a human voice,
the last thing on earth to be expected
in that wilderness, smcte upon the
fearful hollow of his ear.
Any voice or any word then and
there would have surprised him, but
there was a note Of awful terror in
this voice, a sound of frightened ap-
peal. The desperation in the cry left
him no moment for thought, the de-
mand was for action. The cry was
not addressed to him, apparently, but
TO God, yet it was he who answered.
sent doubtless by that Overlooking
Power who works in such mysterious
ways His wonder to perform!
He leaped over the intervening
trees to the edge of the forest where
the rapid waters ran. To the right
OF him rose a huge rock, or cliff, in
front of him the canon bent sharply
TO the north, and beneath him few
rods away g speck of white cleaned
above the water Of deep and still
pool that he knew.
There was a woman there!
He had time for but the sWiftest
glance; he had surmised that the voice
was not that of mans voice Instant
ly he heard it, ana now he was sure.
She stood white breast deep in the wa
ter staring ahead of her. The next
second he saw what had alarmed her
"a Grizzly Bear, the largest, fiercest,
most forbidding speciman he had ever
seen. There were few of those mon
sters still left in the range; he HIM
self had killed several.
The woman had not seen him. He
was q silent man by long habit, ac-
customed to saying nothing, he said
nothing now. But instantly aiming
from the hip with a wondrous skill
and a perfect mastery of the weapon,
and indeed it was a short range for
so huge a target, he pumped bullet
after bullet from his Winchester into
the evil monarch of the mountains.
The first shot did for him, but max
ing assurance double and treble sure,
