TO BE CONTINUED
The Tragedy Of Lodge.

With a plurality over Colonel
CASTOR of only 8,425. Mr.. Lodge
will be a minority senator in that
sense that he is the choice of a
minority of the voters of Massa-
chussetts. Mr.. Nicholl't vote
added to Colonel Gaston's makes
a total anti-Lodge vote so far in
excess of the vote the senator re-
ceived that he can no longer pro-
fess to represent a majority of
the electorate The majority of
his own constituents have reject
ed him after he had made a per-
sonal appeal tosthem for another
term. He gets the term, but it
must seem to him more like a
term in the house of correction
than in the house Of correction
than in the United States Senate.
AS the leader of the Republi-
can party in this State Mr..
Lodge can hardly survive the
prestige he has received.
Mr.. Lodge led his party to a
virtual disaster by pressing his
own claims upon it. After such
a blunder, his position is more
uncomfortable, even more humi-
Iiating, than it would have been
had he been actually defeated.
He retains his office, but the
substance of power has left him.
He has lost tremendously in in
fiuence in Washington both in
the Senate and at the White
House At Home the politicians
will no longer yield unquestion-
ing obedience to him. They will
all begin promptly searching the
horizon for the new party leader.
Neither friend nor enemy
could have wished Mr.. Lodge to
face a troubled future with his
hands withered and his voice en-
feebled by the Bay States vote

She pulled back the chair beside her

Good morning, Mr.. Avery,The said
TO Miss DOrne's companion formally
as he sat down, and the man across
the table murmured something per-
force.
AS Eaton ordered his breakfast, he
appreciated for the first time that his
coming had Interrupted a cOnversa-
tiOn-Or rather a sort Of mpnOlOgue
Of complaint on the part of Standish

They engaged in conversation as
they breakfasted-a conversation in
which Avery took almost no part,
though Miss DOrne tried openly to
draw him in; then the sudden en-
trance of COnnery, followed closely by
a stout, brusque man who belonged
to the rear Pullman, took Eaton's at.
tention and hers.
(which Is himT' the man with Con-
merry demanded loudly.
COnnery checked him, but pointed
at the same time to Eaton.
That's him, Is it?' the other man
said. 'Then go ahead"
Eaton observed that Avery, who had
turned in his seat, was watching this
diversion on the part of the conductor
with interest. COnnery stopped be-
side Eaton's seat.
You took a telegram for Lawrence
Hillward this morning." he asserted.
"YeS.'
"WhyY'

The stout man with the conductor
forced himself forward.

Eaton got up, controlling himself
under the insult of the others manner.
'What business is it Of yoursf he
demanded.
What business? Why, only that

friend! What are you up to, anyway?
Lawrence Hillward travelling with

Avery was gazing up at him with a
sort Of contented triumph.
