FLETCHER'S REPLY
TO STOCKTON

1t doesn't strain the Well-wOrn
figure of speech to say that in Sem
ator Fletchers reply to John Stock
tons recent interview in the Flor
ida Metropolis, in which Stockton
sought to state his case against the
senator that the latter not only
wiped him up, but didn't leave a
grease spot to mark the location of
Johns extinction. The reply was
more than a general denial; it was
specific proof furnished that every
material allegation in Stockton's in
dictment was untrue. II is too
lengthy for our columns, but on the
most important issue-the others
are trivial Senator Fletchers great
measure to help the farmers, known
as the rural credits, which Is the de-
spair of Stockton and his friends,

address to Congress. II was report

legislation and yet he proposes to

What does he mean BY class leg

combined with the abundant expert

can give senator strong influence.
That was why Senator Bacon

though he was no longer within the
circle of it's effulgence-slaving per

A little later, the bulldog at his
heels, he assembled the steps of his
club, where he lodged-he had dis
posed of his bachelor apartments a
fortnight ago. The cavernous seats of
the lounge were all occupied, but he
did not pause as he strobe through
the hall. He took the little pile of
letters the boy handed him at the
desk and went slowly up the stairway.
He wandered into the deserted libra
ry and sat down, tossing the letters
on the magazine-littered table. He had
suddenly remembered that it was his
twenty-ifth birthday.
In the reaction from the long strain
he felt physically spent. He thought

CHAPTER III.
The Turn of the Page.

John Valiant stirred and laughed, a
little selfconsciously for there had
been drops on his face.
Presently he took check-book from
his pocket and began to figure on the
stub, looking up with wry smile. ITO
come down to brass tacks," he NUT
tered, when I've settled everything
(thank heaven, don't owe my tailorD
there will be little matter Of twenty
eight hundred odd dollars, passe mo-
tor and my clothes between me and
the bread-line!"
Everything else he had disposed of
everything but the four-footed COM
rade there at his feet. "But I'd not
sell you, old chap" he said, softly;
mot single lick of your friendly
pink tongue; not for beastly hun
dred thousand!"
He withdrew his caressing hand and
looked again at the check-stub. Tween
ty-eight hundred! He laughed bleakly.
Why he had spent more than that a
month ago on ball at Sherry's! This
morning he had been rich; tonight he
was poor!
What could he do? He could not
remember time when he had not had
all that he wanted. He had never bor-
rowed from a friend or been dunned
by an importunate tradesman. And
he had never tried to earn dollar in
his life; as to current methods Of max
ing a living, he was as ignorant as a
Pueblo Indian.
He rose grimly and dragged his
chair facing the window. The night
was balmy and he looked down across
the darker sea of reefs, barred like a
gigantic checker-board by the shining
lines of streets, to where the flashing
electric signs of the theater district
laid their wide swath of colored ra-
dance. The manifold calls Of the
street and the buzz of trolleys made a
dull tonal background, subdued and
far-away.
To be outside! All that light and

CHAPTER II.
Vanity Valiant.


1.-The witness is excused"
In the ripple that stirred across the
court room at the examiners abrupt
conclusion, John Valiant, who had
withstood that pitiless hail Of ques-
tions, rose, bowed to him and slowly
crossed the cleared space to his coun-
sci. The chairman looked severely
over his eyeglasses, with his gavel
lifted, and a statuesque girl, in the
rear of the room, laid her delicately
gloved hand on a companions and
smiled slowly without withdrawing her
gaze, and with the faintest tint of col
or in her face.
Katharine Fargo neither smiled nor
flushed readily. Her smile was an in
dex of her whole personality, languid,
symmetrical, exquisitely perfect. The
little group with whom she sat looked
somewhat out of place in that mixed
assemDlage. Smartly groomed and
palpably members Of set to whom
John Valiant was familiar, they had
had only friendly mods and smiles for
the young man at whom so many there
had gazed with jaundiced eyes.
To the general public which read it's
daily newspaper perhaps none Of the
giIded set was better known than
Vanity Valiant" The new Panhard
he drove was the smartest car on the
avenue, and the collar on the white
bulldog that pranced or dozed on it's
leather seat sported a diamond buckle.
To the spacewriters of the social col
umns, he had been perennial inspira-
ton. The patterns of his waistcoats,
and the splendors of his latest bache-
lors' dinner at Sherry's-with such
items the public had been kept sufti-
GENTLY familiar. To it, he stood per-
feet symbol of the elder ease and in
solent display of inherited wealth.
And the great majority of those who
had found place in that roomy cham
