united this year as against a party that
was divided four years ago
These leaders make this mistake be-
cause they view what happened four

and look upon the party split as having
cost it president and the slight tempo

the nomination Of Hughes TO have re-

The Republican split Of four years ago

II cost the Republican party great
awakening on the part of its rank and

II cost the Republican party the

he finished speaking. Twenty steps
brought him to the loggia railing. And
Golden knew that no time was to be
lost, for already the sea had crept TO
the lip of the manor garden itself
Get down to the wharf-cut and
bring the boats" he commanded. Then
he swung back to his household serv-
ants, ordering them to carry above
stairs everything they could seize.
Then, as the water rose about his
feet, he suddenly turned and rushed
back into the manor house.

gone mad. "Margory, where are your"
But that call remained unanswered,
for the old negro nurse, at the first
shouts OF alarm, had caught up the
child and carried her out through the
servants entrance, on the way to the
wharf-cut where she knew the boats
to be moored. The child had proved
too heavy for the quivering old arms,

about the empty room. The wine of
rage had already ebbed from his
blood. EMULATION no longer shone in
his steely eyes. He crossed slowly TO
the window and closed it. He failed
to see, as he did so, the stricken figure
that skunk like a wounded snake out
through the garden shrubbery, the
figure that nursed a crushed hand, yet,
at the brink of the manor garden,
turned wrathfully about and held his,
uninjured arm above his head as he
said: MAY my other hand wither of,
If you do not pay, and pay a thousand
fold, for this!"
But Golden neither saw nor heard,
for all his being was centered about
his own misery of mind.
His face was still buried in his
hands when the old negro nurse
opened the door and his little daugh-
ter, Margory, in her nightdress and
holding a doll under her arm, crept
in to her fathers side.
Where is mammal" asked the child
at her fathers knee. Golden steadied
himself with an effort.
You have no mamma" he finally
said, looking away.
But mamma was here"
It was too much for the torn and
passion-tossed father.
Take her away" he cried out to
the old negress. For Gods sake, take
her away"
Yet even when alone again his
agony of mind remained with him, and
again he sat in a stupor of misery
before his desk.
He was reused by the sudden clam
or OF voices, the excited cries of run
ming negroes. He stared stupidity
about him, pulling himself together
