indispensable in whatW as gong on.
When little Cynthia appeared at Con-
iston he 1t once loved her as he would
have loved his own daughter. Her
father was unable TO meet his obi
cations at the bank. Jethro quietly
bought the mortgage and had it as
signed to himself. Cynthia used to
call him Uncle JethrO and loved him
as she did her father.
After a time the railroad corpora
tons decided to consolidate Jethro,
whether he feared that they would
become to large for the state, or for
him, did not approve Of consolidation
ThereupOn they decided to overthrow
him The fight began over his home
postoffice. He was known TO favor
an old soldier named Eph Prescott,
who had been badly wounded in the
wilderness and whom he had helped
in his uphill fight as he had helpeo
many another person The railroad
party decided 10 defeat Jethros candi-
date in order to weaken his prestige
in the state. and it had the support of
many men who had formerly done his
bidding and of the Congressman from
the district" the usual autocrat in
the distribution Of offices Of that
class.
Jethro went to Washington and con
triVed to have an apparently chance
meeting between president Grant and
Eph- Grant was attracted by Eph's
simplicity. They talked over the bat
ties they had fought together with a
mOdesty which furnished another in
stance that the noisiest patriots are
not always the greatest. Grant ap-
pointed Eph- When the news OF the
victory reached home, Jethros pres
tige was much increased.
He placed Cynthia in q finishing
school in Boston. Being a young
woman OF high spirit she was not
happy there. The fact that she came
from a remote country place and Of
an unknown family. very likely had
something to do with the treatment
she received in those primitive days
before finishing schools had been
made wholly safe for democracy. One
day a paper controlled by Isaac Wor-
Ellington. the head Of the corporation
party. made a savage attack uDon
Jethro as a lobbyist and boss" The
paper found its way into Cynthia's
hands and gave her the greatest dis
tress- She went TO Jethro and asked
him II the story was true. He said:
They hain-t put it just as they'd
ought to be. perhaps. but that's the
way done II in the main" His man

even more than before. She with

CHURCHILL.

Winston Churchill has been almost as
versatile as his English namesake- It IS
far cry from the story OF romantic al
venture and the historical novel TO The
tale Of reforming tendencies, political, So
ciaf and religious He has an acute knowl-
edge Of what will interest the great public,
and writes a story about II in such way
that he becomes a phenomenal pest seller.
He has learned the profession Of writing
novels by novel writing, and he earned
to portray people by careful study Of
those he wanted to use He has acquired
a power Of Characterization that IS almost
Photographic He uses this power TO pre-
sent people OF great appeal TO a larger
body OF Americans. for they are the type
known TO many. All this shows the seri-
business Of the man The his political now
els for instance, are real stories Of poll
tics is shown by the fact that a former
president Of the United States and two
former governors OF Massachusetts, have
consented to rtell them in shortened form
for the readers OF the Boston Post.
Winston Churchill has written his best
book, so far in the opinion Of most read
ers. IN "Conistou," it portrays q vital
phase OF AAuAerican political life; It has
had a potent influence in improving the
conduct OF Duh public affairs In Jethro
Bass he has erected his greatest character.

permanent rank in American literature
