CHAPTER |.

Peter knight flung himself into the
table and growled:
isn't that just my luck? And me a
Democrat for twenty years. There's
nothing in politics, Jimmy"
His son James smiled crookedly,
with a Ianguid tolerance bespeaking
amusement and contempt.
Politics is all right provided you're
a good picker" he said, with all the as
surance of twenty-five, 'but you fell
off the wrong side Of the fence, and
you're sore. These country towns al
ways go in for the reform stuff every

Knight tried to look forceful, but the
expression did not fit his weak, COM
placent features. When he had sue
ceeded in fixing a look Of determina-
ton upon his countenance the result
was an artificial scowl and palpably
false pout Wearing such a front, he
continued: "When l say mo- mean it,
and the subject is closed. 1 like Vale,

''That's why it's time to move" said
Jim, with another unpleasant curl of
his lip. Gas long as they didn't know

Pope found Lorelei completely
dressed, in expectation of his arrival.
She wore the white and silver first-act
costume of the Fairy Princess. Both
she and her mother were plainly non
plused at the appearance Of their
caller; but Mrs. knight recovered
quickly from the shock and said agree
ably:
''Lorelei was frightened to death at
your message yesterday. She was al
most afraid to let you interview her
after what you wrote about Adoree
,DemOreSt."
Pope shrugged. "Your daughter is
altogether different to the star Of the

she's become the rage, so had to in
clude her in my series of articles. Now,
Miss Knight has made legitimate
success as far as she has gone"
He turned to the girl herself, who
was smiling at him as she had smiled
since his entrance. He did not wonder
at the prominence her beauty had
brought her, for even at this close
range her makeup could not disguise
her loneliness. The lily had been
painted, to be sure, but the sacrilege
was not too noticeable; the lips were
glaringly red now, but the expression
was none the less sweet and friendly.
'There's nothing legitimate about
musical shows" she told him, in reply
to his last remark, land I can't act or
sing Or dance as well as Miss Demo-
rest"
'You don't need to; just let the pub
lie rest its eyes on you and it will be
satisfied-anyhow, it should be. OF
course everybody fatters you. Has
success turned your head?"
Mrs. Knight answered for her daugh-
ter. 'Lorelei has too much sense for
that. She succeeded easily, but she
isn't spoiled"
Then, in response to a question by
Pope, LOrelei told him something of
her experience. "We're upstate people,
you know. Mr.. Bergman was looking
for types, and I seemed to suit, so

mother said, chidingly.

put in.
Again the mother answered. "In-
deed she is, and she's bound to sue
coed. OF course, she hasn't had any
experience to speak of, but there's
more than one manager that's got his

eye on her" The listener inwardly
cringed. "She could be starred easy,
and she will be, too, in another sea-
son.
Pope resented Mrs. Knights share In
the conversation. He did not like the
elder woman's face, nor her voice, nor
her manner. She impressed him as an
other theatrical type with which he
was familiar-the stage mamma. He
found himself marveling at the dis
similarity Of the two women.

that she openly showed her hand to
him.
"Have you talked to her about it?'
"a little. She'll do anything we ask.
She's good girl that way"
The three were still buried in discus
sion when Lorelei appeared at the
door.
''I'm going over to Mabel's," she
paused moment to say. "Ill be back
early, mother"
In Peter knights eyes, as he gazed
at his daughter, there was something
akin to shame; but Jim evinced only a
hard, calculating appraisal. Both men
inwardly acknowledged that the moth
er had spoken less than half the truth,
for the girl was extravagantly, be-
witchingly attractive. Her face and
form would have been noticeable any
where and under any circumstances;
but now, in contrast with the unmodi-
fed LONELINESS Of her parents and
brother her comeliness was almost
startling. The others seemed to har-
monte with their drab surroundings,
with the dull, unattractive house and
it's furnishings, but Lorelei was in vio-
lent opposition to everything about her.
She wore her beauty unconsciously.
too, as a princess wears the purple of
her rank. Neither in speech nor in
look did she show a trace Of her ia
theirs fatuous commonplaceness, and
she gave no sign of her mothers coldly
calculating disposition. Equally the
girl differed from her brother, for Jim
was anemic, underdeveloped, sallow;
his only mark of distinction being his
bright and impudent eye, while she
was full-blooded, healthy and clean.
Splendidly distinctive, from her crown
Of warm amber hair to her shapely.
slender feet, it seemed that all the
hopes, ali the aspirations, all the long
ings Of bygone generations Of Knights
had Powered in her. AS muddy waters
purify themselves in running, so had
the knight blood, coming through un-
pleasant channels, finally clarified and
sweetened itself in this girl.
In the doorway she hesitated an in
slant, favoring the group with her
shadowy, impersonal smile. In her
gaze there was faint inquiry, for it
was plain that she had interrupted
serious discussion. She came forward
and rested hand upon her fathers
thinly haired bullet head. Peter

moist palm.
eve were just talking about you,"
he said.
"Yes?" The smile remained as the
girls touch fingered.
"Your ma thinks I'd better accept
that New York offer on your account"
"On mine? 1 don't understand"
Peter stroked the hand in his clasp,
and his weak, upturned face was
wrinkled with apprehension. "She
thinks you should see the world and
make something Of yourself"
"That would be nice" Lorelei's lips
were still parted as she turned toward
her mother in some bewilderment.
you'd like the city, wouldn't you"
Mrs. knight inquired.
"Why. yes; suppose So"
"We're poor-poorer than we've ever
been. Jim will have to work, and so
will you"

I don't know how to do anything. I'm

Here we have the tale OF a
young woman who is thrust by
ner greedy and lazy family into
a world of human vultures to
win a fortune with her personal
charms. But she surprises them
all with her fine traits of char

but she brings help and happi-

The next issue of the Visiter made
no allusioa to it's change of base, and
the question. Those who knew my
record refused to believe I had sold
out, and took bets on it. However,
the next number contained an editor
ial which relieved the minds Of
friends, but which created the gray
est apprehension. 1t stated that the
Visiter would, in future, support Buch-
anan's administration, and went on to
state the objects of that administra-
ton as being the entire subversion Of
Freedom and the planting Of Slavery
in every State and Territory, so that
Toombs could realize his boast, and
call the roll of his slaves at the foot
ers that John Randolph had said in
ing to Northern men:
"We have driven you to the wall,
and will drive you there again, and
next time we will keep you there and
nail you to the counter like base
money"
Mr.. Buchanan, a Northern man, had
fulfilled the prediction. Henry Clay
had said that Northern workingmen
were ''mudsills, greasy mechanics and
smalEfsted farmers" These mudsills
had been talking of voting themselves
farms; but it would be much more ap-
propriate if they would vote them
selves masters. Southern laborers
were blessed with kind masters, and
Mr.. Buchanan and the St. Cloud Wis
tier were most anxious that Northern
laborers should be equally we'll pro.
vided for.
When the paper was read, there was
a cry of "Sold! Sold! Lowrie had
sold himself instead Of buying the
Visiter." At first there was a laugh,
then dead stiffness of dread, and
men looked at me as one doomed.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
In Memory Of Our Late Brother Geo.

OIIS 1870
Our loved and loving brother, hus-

Ter has gone to his long and we'll
earned rest. A Messenger, invisible
to mortal eye, met him and said
Come, and he obeyed. We have lost
a true brother and a loyal friend, and
our city and community an hOnored
and respected citizen. We will miss
him because he was simple and nat
ural, because of his good and sound
advice, because Of his always cheer
full and willing help, because he had
no special favorites, because he dis
charged all public trusts faithfully,
because he was believer in equality
and because he was brave and tender,
vine and flower.
During his life time he was not
known to have cherished unkind feel
ings toward anyone or to have spoken
unkind words of anyone. Neither are
we conscious that anyone has by
thought or words manifested unkind-
ness towards him. He was brought
up in times when friendship was more
than name. He loved to be present
at Lodge meetings and to mix and
as we'll as other friends, and by these
sweet recreations life was made
sweeter and it's pleasures renewed
like the buds in spring.
Perhaps he may have tasted sor.
rows, but they left no cloud, only a
deeper tenderness for all who mourn.

His death was gentle, the pulse
