He said he expected to give all

through a constructive program.
His opponents in the sena torial

uncouth and could not make himself

"They say that Henry Cabot

understand me when I get up to

with most of my opponents is that
when they don't want to understand
me, they lie."
He declared he had made the fight
for election to the senate with the
support of only two daily papers in
Minnesota. He said that when news
papers were against him he was most
successful.

for conviction, while the remaining
six members of the Council were for

It was a hard-fought case both by
prosecuting attorneys and by counsel
for the defense, the testimony featur-
ing the Furnishing rum business car
ried on by Dan Herlihy, that master
mind Of the rum-runners of Hancock
county, who was finally caught by
Federal authorities, convicted and
sentenced to a year term at the fed
eral prison at Atlanta. Defense made
the point that Herlihy was captured
only after considerable money had
been spent and a good deal of time
put in by federal enforcement au-
thorities, and that he was finally
convicted under the federal conspir-
acy statute, which was not on the
Maine statute books at that time.
Prosecution argument rested on the
point that Sheriff Westcott failed not
only because he did not get Herlihy,
but because he made no efforts to
catch the man.

Friends From the East.

Friends From the East.
Three days after her return to the
ranch Madeline could not discover any
PHI Sical discomfort as q reminder Of
he1 adventurous experiences. If it had
Got been fer the quiet and persistent
guardianship of her cowboys she might
almost have forgotten Don Carlos end
the raiders. Madeline was assured Of
the splendid physical fitness to which
this ranch life had developed her, and
that she was assimilating something
of the Western disregard of danger.
A hard ride, an accident, day in the
sun and dust an adventure with out
laWS-these might once have been
matters Of large import, but now for
Madeline they were in order with all
the rest Of her changed life.
There was never a day that some
thing interesting was not brought to
her notice. Sillwell, who had cease
lessly reproached himself for riding
away the morning Madeline was cap
tured, grew more like an anxious par
ent than a faithful superintendent. He
was never at ease regarding her unless
he was near the ranch or had left
Stewart there, or else Nels and Nick
Steele. Naturally. he trusted more to
Stewart than to any one else.

mountains again. He's sneaked off,
an Nels, who was down 60 the lower
trail, saw him meet somebody that
looked like Padre Marcos. Wal, went
down to the church, and, sure enough,
Padre Marcos is gone. What do you
think Of that, Miss Majesty?"
Maybe Stewart is getting religious"
laughed Madeline. "Let him take his
mysterious trips into the mountains.

that may give you reason for worry. I
have letters from home. And my sis
ter, with party Of friends, is coming
out to visit me- They are society folk,
and one Of them is an English lord
Let me read you a few extracts from
my mail"
Madeline took up her sisters letter
with strange sensation of how cas-
lily sight of a crested monogram and
scent Of delicately perfumed paper
could recall the brilliant life she had
given up. She scanned the pages of
beautiful handwriting. Helen seldom
wrote letters, and she never read any

Stewart and thanked him. He bowed,
then LED the black down the path to-
ward the cOrrals.
Madeline watched the weary horse
and rider limp down the path. What
had made her thoughtful? Mostly 1t was
something new or sudden or inexplic-
able that stirred her mind to quick
analysis. In this instance the thing
arts glance. He had looked at her,
and the old burning, inscrutable fire,
the darkness, had left his eyes. Sud-
denly they had been beautiful. The
look had not been one Of surprise or
admiration; nor had it been one Of
love. She was familiar, too familiar
with all three. 1t had not been a gaze
of passion, for there was nothing
beautiful in that. Madeline pondered.
And presently she realized that Stew
arts eyes had expressed a strange joy
of pride That expression Madeline
look of any man. Probably it's strange
ness had made her notice it and ac-
counted for her blushing. The longer
she lived among these outdoor men
the more they surprised her. Particu-
larly, how incomprehensibIe was this
cowboy Stewart! Why should he have
pride or joy at sight of her?
The approaching automobile was on
the slope now, some miles down the
long gradual slant. It's velocity was
astounding. Long, gray wells, like pen
nants, streamed in the wind. A low
rushing sound became perceptible, and
it grew louder, became a roar. The
car shot like an arrow past the alfalfa
field, by the bunk-hOuses. where the
cowboys waved and cheered. The
horses and burrOs in the corrals began
to snort and tramp and race in fright.
At the base of the long slope of the
foothill Link cut the speed more than
half. Yet the car rOared up, rolling
the dust, flying capes and wells and ul-
sters, and crashed and cracked to a
halt In the yard before the porch.
Madeline deserted a gray, disheveled
mass Of humanity packed inside the
car. Besides the driver there were
seven occupants, and for a moment
they appeared to be coming to life,
moving and exclaiming under the wells
and wraps and dust-shields.
Link Stevens stepped out and, re-
moving helmet and goggles, cOolly
looked at his watch.

From the mass of dusty-veiled hu-

Madeline stepped to the front of the
porch. Then the deep voices Of men
and softer voices Of women united in

believed So.
A heavy languor, like blanket, be-
gan to steal upon her. She wayered
and drifted. With the last half-con-
scious sense of a muffied throb at her
ear, a something intangibly sweet,
deep-toned, and strange, like a distant
calling bell, she fell asleep with her
head on Stewards breast.
