Mr.. BruQn and HQpDiness

introduced for an address at a dinner in Phadel-
phia recently as the next President of the United
States Mr. Bryan put aside the compliment and
gently chided the POSTMASTER, says the Washington
Star He characterized the compliment as mere
habit as indeed, it was. SO many times in the past
seventeen years has that compliment been paid! And
many times it was agreeable. But not now
Nobody more clearly than Mr.. Bryan that
If the next President Of the United States-the
elected in 19l6-is Democrat, his name will be
Woodrow Wilson. He is doing his best to bring that
to pass. All that in him s--as executive and as
orator-at Mr.. Wilson's service and If the ad-
minsuration and ihas is lease of power
heightened, nothing will be more likely than the re-
tention of Mr.. Bryan in the state department AS to
192O-but that is too distant for the purposes Of
speculation.
But if the POSTMASTER jollied Mr. Bryan, Mr.. Bryan
retorted and jollied the company Take this from his
address,
81 happy. and want you all to believe me
when say So to see those things so near my heart
being done by another-happer than if were in
that place.
II am happy to nation of people change its
point Of view and adopt those things which have
always been close to my heart"
We may believe Mr.. Bryan is happy. He ought to
be. The country-although by minority vote-sid
have always been close to his heart Moreover, it
elected President he had converted to an
acceptance of those things. 1t Mr.. Bryan, Who
singe-handed, turned Mr.. Wilson from Clevelandism
to Bryanisn, and then bestowed upon him the Balti
more nomination. And, far Mr.. Wilson in Office
has been steering by the chart of Organism.
But is Mr.. Bryan happier in seeing Mr.. Wilson
thus perform than he would be if performing in the
White House himself? He is human For sixteen
years he pulled every string he could reach in an
effort to direct in person the inauguration and the
carrying out of the Eryanite policies The ambition
altogether honorable, and he appealed for aid to
many quarters He did not ignore even Tammany
and Tammany responded. Under both Prophet Gro
ker and Prophet Murphy, Tammany did all it could
by Tammany means for the party ticket.
Mr.. Bryan must have been bitterly disappointed
at the refusal of the electorate three times to accept
his policies from his hands; and that feeling
cannot have been transformed into one of complete
happiness by the acceptance Of them from the hands
Of a substitute He may be happy but he cannot
be supremacy happy. At Philadelphia he simply
saw the toastmaster's jolly, and went him enc
better.

stairway. About to descend, the sight
of a figure coming up, caused him,
however. TO pause; in the flare of the
lght below, something in the manner
OF the mans advance impressed the
governor as peculiar.
The movements Of this person, who
was under-sized, wiry, were agile and
cat-like; first would he stop, look
around him and listen; afterward
spring forward a few steps as not
quite sure of his course. But still he
came on, keeping as closely as might
be to the cover of the shadows, until
a growing impression he had seen the
fellow before resolved itself into posi-
tiveness in his Excellency's mind.
Meanwhile, the Lady Elise had re-
paired to the palace; a prey to haras-

failed to remove, she listened to those
sounds of the strife she no longer saw.
But that she wished to obey her father
unquestioningly now-at, perhaps, a
supreme moment for both of them!-
she could not have remained where
she was. Never had the palace looked
so blank and deserted; she rang her
bell; no one answered. The servants
had apparently all left-gone, it might
be, to look down on and behold this
guerre la mort waged near the gates.
Or. perhaps, had they all, except the
old nurse, fled from the palace, never
to return?
AS she asked herself these questions,
in the distance the noise of the con-
fict grew louder; the shouts Of the
people more distinct, nearer! With
a sudden premonition of disaster close
at hand, the desire to see what was
happening-to know the worst-seized

CHAPTER XXI.
The Attack on the Mount.

The rock loomed black before them
as the troopers, esCorting the Cover
nor's daughter, rode up to the Mount
Entering the town, at its base, dark
walls on either side Of them shut out
the broad map of the heavens and left
but narrow open space above; few
lights were visible, so that many of
the houses seemed tenantless; even
at the tavern. unwonted stiffness pre-.
vailed. Apparently was the return
well-timed in twisting street and tor
tuous byway, where hostile faces had
been prone to frown upon the soldiers
Of his Excellency, emerging from, or
ascending to, the stronghold of the
summit, now only chill drafts of air
swept down to greet them; passed on
with shrill whisperings, and died
away In the distance.
Nearing the massive portals that
opened wide into his Excellency's
realm, my lady suppressed a shiver;
but the Marquis, in low tone, ven
tured to jest on the depressing and
melancholy aspect of the Mount at
that hour To these light remarks she
returned no answer, and he had just
begun to rally her on a certain quiet
ness Of spirits, apparent on the beach
and irreconCilable with the circum-
stances of the moment, when a sharp
exclamation fell from the girls lips.
In front of them, between the sol
diers and the entrance to that upper
part Of the Mount, many dark forms
had suddenly darted forth; at the
same time from nearby houses came
unmistakable sounds Of life and ac-
tiVity; doors were thrown open and
windows raised. The town they thought
asleep had merely been watching; now
showed its bright eyes in a multitude
of menacing lights around them; be-
low, where likewise a mysterious mar
shaling had occurred, from alleys, cor
ners, and novels, Immediately after
the passing of the Governors party!
"What does it mean?" Again she
heard the Marquis tones, less conf
dent now, as he turned to the COM
mandant.
"Treachery!" The commandments
voice rang out. They've broken faith
with us!"
"Dogs!" My lord gazed uncertainty
ahead; obviously behind What are
we going to do?"
'Do?" The commandant suppressed
an imprecation. Push on to the up-
per gates!"
ITO the gates!" cried the Marquis;
then wheeled quickly. But you
Elise!"
Never mind mel" she returned,
with steady lips and eyes.
There was no time for further
words; a sharp order from the com
and the troopers spurred for
ward toward the entrance in the wall

Il heard the firing; hastened to the
Mount-here! trust not too late!"
TOO late!" she repeated wildly
Where else should the Black Seign.
eur be than here. at the Mount-at
such a moment!"
"True!" he returned quietly. Where
else?"
She noted not the accent; behind
him, through the open space a bright
fork of flame, in the direction of the
soldiers barracks, shCt into the air,
and, at the same time, she saw that
the officers quarters and out-buildings
glowed red. The knowledge of what
1t meant-that her apprehensions had
been realized, sent shudder through
her. and quickly as the door closed,
shutting out the sight, she ran toward
the threshold. one thought in her mind
her father, and where she had last
seen him! That she was seized, held,
restrained, seemed but a natural,
though terrible, incident of the mo-
ment.
Pardon, my Lady! In a moment
they will be here, and they will not
spare you! Your father is not at the
gate; he left before the soldiers gave
way! Believe me, or not--it is the
truth! AS true as that If you go out,
they will kill you'll"
And did he not want that; why else
was he here? The young mans face
darkened; he made an impatient ges-
ture. They were but wasting time;
already were the people close without;
one Of the assailants, woman, had
been shot in the assault; the others?
Her Ladyship would understand; If
she wished to save herself? His tones
vibrated with strange eagerness. The
palace had rear entrance, of course?
Then had they better flee upward to
some place Of concealment, and, later
when the people were concerned most
in pillage, endeavor to find way to
leave the Mount. After that, 1t would
be easy; his ship was waiting Her
wild words interrupted; her father
she would go only to him! She would
never leave him now!
That which she proposed was impos-
sible, quickly the young man an
swered. The mob-the terrible mob!
Did she realize to what she would ex-
pose herself? Did she know the ter
rible danger? More plainly he told
her. AS for her going, it was not to
be thought Of; he must see she did
not persist in her purpose.
Your My lady flashed him q
glance "You!" she repeated. Whose
men broke faith"
"That may bel" His voice rang bit.
