Lghes Points the Way

The sF+srh of tks Republican cen 6idate fer President was keynote speech, nIeed Not one person fl the great audience at tffe Carnegie Hall meeting was in doab. far one moment as to just what he meant b. everything he said.
 His address was comprehensive, log ical, clear and all sufficient for the occasion There can be no dispute as 10 this Plainly Mir. Hughes fs man who Knows what he wants when he wants it." and it is the opinion Of political authorities who heard him and who have since read his remarks that he knows. also, how 10 get it.
 II was incumbent upon the Repub lican candidate to confine the scope of his remarks to the limitations Of the occasion. but his crushing andy sis of the shortcomings of the pres eut administration Of the government is merely an earnest of what the tone and the contents of his speeches vii be when he gets on the stump.
 At Carnegie Hall Mir Hughes ad yerte1 to every general question that is apt to be serious issue in the campaign and in language that vii be absolutely clear to every man oi woman able to read he stated hi. opinions his convictions and his slr poses. On the stump he will argue those point. in detail. As an orator he is eloquent. his personality attrae tive and his marshalling of facts SC cohesive that he holds his audience to the end. He makes 1t easy foi them to follow him and his points are not lost.
 There was nothing equivocal noth. ing apologetlc in the Republican can. didate's speech of acceptance. He called a spade spade, and the nnani. nous opinion of those who heard him was that he shot to the center and rang the bell. The Republican cam. paign is now open. and those whe will speak and write and work for the success of the Republican ucke. can wish for no more adequate cam. paign document. no more satisfactory. statement of issues than are found in the candidate's salutatory.

Our opponents promised to reduce the cost of lying. This they have failed to do: but they did reduce the opportunities of making a living Let us not for get the conditions that existed in this country under the new tariff prior to the outbreak of the war. Production had de- creased, business was languish- ing new enterprises were not undertaken. instead of expan- sion there was eurta!lment and our streets were filed with the unemployed.

CHAPTER XxVIII-contlnued.

The subjectivity OF a sick man dis
arms woman; she knows she is safe
and abandons her weapons of attack
and defense as long as the invalid is
taken up with the state of his insides.
Glenn was unaffected, even tender. with
Alan as long as he was weak. but as
his strength returned to him she with
drew, one by one and gently. the init
mate attentions n woman accOrds to
babes and the related helpless. But
there was nothing absolute in her with
drawal; 1t was more temptation than
a denial, born Of woman's innate de-
sire to be pursued. While Alan was
merely convalescent 1t contained a sup
pressed gayety, half demure. half mis-
chievous, but when his full strength
came back and he failed to pursue, the
gayety arrested itself, turned into
questioning wistfulness and ended in
the secret shame and 'blushes OF the
repulsed and undesired.
Glen saw Alan build a barrier
against her, a barrier of little things,
each insignificant in itself but each
lending and borrowing the strength of
accumulation. Alan spent hours with
the old captain, walked, rode and
talked with J. Y. and the judge. Be
tween them, j. Y. and the judge had
fixed up Lieber's affair and Alan had
cabled.
In the midst Of women Alan seemed
to be able to forget woman-to forget
her Intentionally. There was nothing
pointed in his avoidance. He kept his
distance from Alix and Nance and
Jane Elton in the same measure as
from Glen. There was thus none OF
the single avoidance of the shy swain
who lavishes attentions on all but her
whom he would most dearly sue. Glen,
least vain of beautiful women, sat long
hours before her glass. Never before
had the charms it revealed been ques-
toned, never had she been forced to
close in the ranks and call up the re-
serves, and now she felt at loss, I'M
accustomed to the ready moves Of the
coquette. Glenn dropped her face in
her hands and cried.

There were hooks that were satisfied
ment and there were outstanding cor
ners that jutted boldly out over the
sloping lawns and threatened further
raid.
Inside, the paths OF daily life ran
clearly enough through the maze, but
on their TANKS hung many a somber
den for ambush or retreat. Cavernous
closets, shadowy corners, numbered at
tics and half-forgotten interstices OF
discarded space opened dark gorges to
the intrepid, and threatened the nerv-
Gus and unwary with what they might
bring forth. The gods of childhood's
games themselves could not have
builded a better scene for that most
palpitating of sports, hide and seek
on a rainy day.
Alan soon entered into the spirit OF
the game. He found himself recollect-
ing things about Maple House that he
had more than half forgotten; strange
byways under the roof; vacant cham
Der, turned into q trunk room because
one by one it had been robbed Of its
windows; and lastly the little attic
that had been, as it were, left behind

Through this dreamland OF a hun
dred children fitted the brood of the
day, marshaled rather breathlessly by
Glen and Alan. Anxious whispers,
the scurrying of lightly shod feet. then
sudden silence but for the flutelike
counting OF some juvenile II. were fol-
lowed by sudden screams and a wild
race for the goal. Maple House had
never countenanced the effete and di-
luted sport of ] Spy; IT was all for
hide and seek, where you had to hold
your man when found or beat him
to the goal.
Great was the excitement when the
littlrst IL OF all caught Cousin Alan

dreary. In the afternoon Mrs. J. Y.
was besieged to surrender the house
and finally did. Alan had gone to his
room and closed the door. The captain
was plunged in invulnerable slumber.
Somebody raped at Alan's door and
he called, Come in" The door opened
and revealed Nance. junior. Behind
her was a giggling, whispering throng.
The spirit OF fun danced in Nances
eyes. Her cheeks were flushed and
her golden head was in disarray. "Oh,
Cousin Alan" she cried, ''grandma's
given us leave for hide and seek and
we're all going to play except mother
and grandma and the captain. Please
come, too, Cousin Alan"
From behind her came modified
echo. "Pleath do, Couthin Alan" Alan
smiled and laid down his book. "All
right" he laughed.
Maple House was a rambling abode
that had grown and spread like the
giant naples that sheltered it. In what
age the captain had demanded a wing
or some bygone Nance nursery for
her children was chrOnicled in the an
nails OF the house itself. TO be revealed
only to the searching, architectural
eye. The key to the rambling struc-
ture lay in the thick-walled dining
room, the parlor, one bedroom and the
kitchen.
From the nucleus OF these four
rooms Maple House had grown, i'm
posed and superimposed, until it over
flowed the arbitrary bourne OF kitch-
ems and front doors and like some
mounded vine rippled Off on all sides,
in vast living room, sunny nurseries
and a broken fringe of broad verandas.

Went With the Load.

An lrishman, having arrived in New
York few days ago, got employment
with a lumber merchant. Later he was
ordered 10 take load of lumber some
distance away. Having gone half his
journey, he came to steep hill, and
while the horses were struggling to
get to the top his boss happened to
meet him, and seeing the horses In
such difficulty, and Pat standing on
top of the load, he stopped him and
exclaimed:
"Do you think the horses haven't got
enough to do without hauling you up
this hill?"
Pat. fixing himself more comfortab-
ly on top of the load. said:
as that what you stopped me for?"
Then, with a crack of his whip, Pat
concluded:

One day in midsummer Alan, TO his
disgust. was summoned peremptorily
by McDale & McDale. Half an hours
consultation was all they required and
Alan was pleased to find as he left
their offices that he still had plenty
of time to catch the early train back TO
Red Hill. There were only two after
noon trains for that difficult goal.
As he strolled up the avenue he was
arrested by the sight of tall figure
standing on the curb watching the
swirl OF the traffic. The figure was
dressed in a heavy whipcord suit and
Stetson hat, uncompromisingly
domed in the very form in which it
had been blocked by the makers. A
street gamin yelled, "Hi! fellers, look
what's got away from Buffalo BillI'
Kemp gazed sad-eyed but unmoved
over his dropping mustaches, doubt
less mourning the passing OF the shoot
ing iron and the consequent unanswer-
able affronts Of fostered civilization.
Alan elbowed his way across the
stream of pedestrians and clutched him
by the arm. Kemp whirled around as
il to meet attack, but smiled when he
saw Alan's face. ST was jest calcu-
latin on roundin' you up" he drawled.
where did you come from? Where
are you off TOT" cried Alan, and without
waiting for an answer he hailed cab,
hustled Kemp into 1t and ordered II
to his club. He forgot his early train.
In the club lobby Kemp surrendered
his hat reluctantly to the ready attend
ant and followed Alan across soft car
pets to a quiet corner where two enor-
nous chairs seemed to be making con-
fidences to each other. One could
imagine them aggrieved at being inter
rupted and sat upon.
