The Governor also said, according &c

quest that he see Senator Root, Ryan
said he made no effort to see Mr. NicoI
RYAN did, however. make an effort OF his
own. he said, to Sound the Republican
sentiment, This he did, he testified
through a "friend" whose name he did
not disclose. 1t appeared from his testi-
mony that the friend had seen Chairman
Barnes and obtained from him state
ment that the Republican organization
would do nothing and that the chairman
would not permit anyone high or low
TO speak to him on the subject. The
Governors counsel made no attempt to
cross-examine the witness.
Governors Star Witness.
Sarecky, much heralded as the Gov
ernor's star witness, took the stand amid
buzz of interest. He was led by sAttor-
ney Harvey d. Human of counsel for
the defence, through the details of his
associations with the Governor and the
duties of his position as campaign secre-
tary and thence to his declaration alb

Sarecky, a blank form in which a
statement was to be made out of re-

Both Vows Broken,

Apropos of the anti-vivisectionists'
fight against the Nobel prize award
to DR.. Alexis Carrel Of the Rockefel-
Ter institute, Prof. Herbert Satterley
said the other day in Jacksonville:
These ants contradict themselves
terribly when they try to prove that
animal research is useless and futile.
They just put themselves in the posi-
ton of one of their number whom !
met at my hotel the other day.
"As this anti was dining I bent for
ward and said to him:
Pardon me, but you are, believe,
both an anti-vivisectionist and a vege-
tarian?'

gale at sea shreds a canvas. He felt
a bit panicky. He had always planned
a courtship of a year OF SO, meetings,
separations, and ~remeetings, pleasur-
able expectations, little iunkets to the
aters and country places; in brief, to
witness the rose grow and unfold.
Somewhere he had read or heard that
courtship was the plummet which
sounded the depths Of compatibility.
He knew nothing of Fortune Ched-
soye, save that she was beautiful to
his eyes, and that she was as different
from the ordinary run of girls as yon-
der moon was from the stars.
Again she stopped, leaning over the
parapet and staring down at the wa
ter swirling past the stone embank-
ment. He did likewise, resting upon
his folded arms. Suddenly his tongue
became alive; and quietly, without
hesitancy or embarrassment, he began
to tell her OF his school life, his life
at home. And the name in which
he spoke Of his mother warmed her;
and she was strangely and wonder
ingly attracted.
"Of course, the mother meant the
best in the world when she gave me

"I? Why should I be-" inquired
George i~nnocently. Certainly, what
