city Thursday with every indication
pointing to a success which places It
from the first among the leading pro-
fessional organizations of the State.
Engineers and men interested in engin-
ccring from all over tho State responded

exceeded the fondest hopes of those be-
hind the movement, several of whom
live IN Burlington. The days program
consisted OF two BUSINESS meetings in
the roof garden at the Hotel Vermont.
during which tho organization was per-
fected. and closed with Il banquet In

he directed. 81 must save myself for
performance, not parade
They were away before even the ca
ger platform notables could intercept
them The cheering was still going on
when the carriage started. From the
open windows Of the hall the riot of
the convention-yoices and music-pur-
sued them until the racket of the busy
street drowned it out.
At that moment, strangely enough,
something besides the fury and the re-
suits of that tremendous convention
occupied Harlan's thoughts. While he
had stood beside General Weymouth
he had not looked down into the pit
Of roaring humanity. He had looked
straight up into the eyes of Madeleine
Presson, whose gaze, by some chance,
caught his the moment he stepped upon
the platform She had leaned on the
gallery rail and studied him intently.
In spite of all else that had happened
and was happening he could not help
wondering why.

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
a 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
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
l-ecline it 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 Glare,
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 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
to retire by Thornton, Presson and
others. Weymouth announces that
they must at once nominate him for
governor.

It came like a thunderclap, 1000
voices shouting it.
He stood there, his hand upraised,
waiting again until the hush was upon
them once more. They were ready for
the usual speech of acceptance. But
he said simply this:

mer, here, and Chairman Presson some
weeks ago"
The state chairman was stirred as
though galvanically by that statement.
The bitter memory of how he had
groomed the dark horse that was now
kicking his masters political brains
out rose in him.
'sBy the everlasting gods" he shout
ed, 'I'Il go down fghtingI If the
house has got to come down I'll go
down with it,"
Samson had two arms I have only
one" returned General Weymouth.
"But I've got that arm around the cen
trail pillar of your political roof, gen
tlemen, and I've got the strength to
handle it You've stated your posi-
ton as a politician, Presson. Now
I'll state mine. Rather than see the
Republican temple made any longer
a house of political i'll fame I'll pull it
down."
It was a bitter taunt-an insult de-
nvered with calm determination to
sting. Presson stamped about the
room in his wrath. There was another
hush In the room.

There was further silence, broken
only by the voice of the senator with
out and Presson within, who was scuf-

Suddenly great outburst of ap-
piause signifed that the senator had
concluded

PARIS, June 6.-The first session of
the sale at the Georges Petit Gallery
of the collection OF Jacques Doucet, n

That is a record amount and may be
cited as a climax of the extra VA gance of
the collecting of the epoch. The cata-

$4,000 BET AGAINST
ROOSEWLT'S CHANCES

NEW YORK. June 6.-Perhaps the
first real election bet to be made on the
curb was put through yesterday, when
81, 900 was wagered against $1,000 that
Theodore Roosevelt would not be
nominated at Chicago. The man who
bet against the nomination OF Roose-
Welt also offered to place $1,000
against $1,000 that President Taft
would not be elected II nominated.
1t was learned that a coterie OF
Wall Street bankers. in order to test
the confidence of the Roosevelt
boosters. who were offering to bet
$1,000 to $1,000 hat their chief would
be nominated on the first ballot at
Chicago. had sent 81, 900 to Chicago
to be offered publicly but found no
takers, even when offered at 2 to l

Wall Street did, however, find
takers for more han 100000 cabled

fact that ]. p. Morgan saw the horse
