 It was not until they had served out their full sentence at Mrs. Weather ford's crush and were back in the pri- vate dining room suit at the Inter Mountain, with Miss Anners safely behind the closed door of her own apartment, that the small conspirator passed the word of good hope on to her husband.

THE GAME.

THE GAME.
 ~ E Evan Blount had been anticipat-
 ing an unfriendly reception at the great mining camp in the Carna-
 dine hills he was agreeably dis appointed. A committee of prominent citizens, headed by Jasper Steuchfeld, the reform chairman for Carnadine county, met him at the train, escorted him to the hotel and during the after noon, which was at his disposal, gave him joyously and hilariousIy the free 1om of the camp.
 The political meeting, which was held in the Carnadine Mining com pany's electric lighted ore shed, was packed with an enthusiastic audience, and there were prolonged cheers and handcIappings when the railroad rep resentative took his seat on the i'm provised platform as the guest of the committed

sharp arraignment of the railroads methods, not only in it's dealings with its patrons as a common carrier, but also in the perttnacity with which it invaded the political field, thare~ was tumultuous applause. But it was no heartier than that which greeted Blount when he rose to present the railroads side of the argument
 During the Journey from the capital, which had consumed the night and the greater portion of the forenoon, he had prepared his speech. His argu- ment-the one unanswerab bIe argument, as it seemed to him-was the existence of law which presumed to limit the earnings of a private or at most a quasi public corporation, without mak- ing a corresponding regulation limit ing the cost of such a corporation's service. Upon this foundation he was able to build very fair structure of oratory.
 The judge, his opponent, was a rath- CT turg1d man, whose speech abounded in flights of spread eagle eloquence and whose appeal was to the emotions and the impulses of his audience.
 Blount, on the other hand, made a typical lawyers speech, calmly de1iv- cred, logical in every sylIogism and appealing frankly to the intelligence of his hearers. In every period of it he was greeted with generous ap- plause, and at the close of the meet ing he had what the editor of the local paper called in his issue of the follow ing day ian ovation.''
 Steuchfield and his fellow commit teemen escorted him to the midnight tFain, and no one in the crowd of con- gratulators was more enthusiastic than the opposition chairman
 ''That was great speech, Mr. B1ount," he said at parting. eff you can go all over the state making as good talks as you have made here to- N1ght you'll tie us all up in a hard knot But Mcvickar won't let you do 1t, not by long shot,
 BIount laughed '"There are no strings tied to me, MT. SteuchfieId," he declared. '"This is a new deal, and am the dealer. Come down to the capital and let me convince you that we are out for open publicity and a square deal for every man, including the railroad man.''
 "AII right" was the cordial reply. 'sI'n be down along some of these days, and if you can show me that McViclar isn't going into politics any further than you have gone here to- night I'll promise you to come back here and tell the boys that the jig is mp"
 Five minutes later the branch train pulled out, and the chairman and his fellow committeeman gave the depart ing joint debater three cheers and an other. When the red tail lights of the train had disappeared around the first curve SteuchfeId turned to his fellow conspirators.
 "WelI, boys,'' he said, with a grin that went from ear to ear, "I guess we did it up all right and according to orders. I don't know what sort of game the Hon. Dave Sagebrush is playing this time, but whatever he says goes, and I reckon we gave the young man a right pleasant time. AnywaY he seemed to think so."
