fear of the recognized opposition
party-he had that hog-tied. But these
Citizens movements" annoyed him.
Because you never can tell-accidents
are liable to happen. However ably
you may conduct your brace game,
however perfect may be the hidden
machinery which controls the rou-
lette wheel, however, skillfully you
may stack your cards, some little
cog In the machinery is liable to slip,
some trifiing tumble" In the ham
ding Of the ''pasteboards" may be
made and the whirling bah falls into
a numbered slot where It was never
intended to go; hand is dealt to a
player which was never Intended for
him.
So these Citizens movements"
though they seldom amounted to any
thing and their life was ephemeral,
had always the latent potentiality of
disarranging the political machinery
and disordering the political deal.
When, later. he heard that Henry For
sythe was to run for assembly on the
citizens ticket he said "Humph p and
quietly continued his business Of oil
ing his machine and marking his
cards. 1t had come about this way:
Henry had left the caliph's palace
heartbroken at the calmness Of Annie
and furious against her father. Some
Of his friends, taking advantage Of
this continuing mood. had induced him
to consent to head the citizens ticket
and he was too deeply compromised to
draw back when he came fully to
realize that the man against whom he
was making war was the father Of the
girl he still loved. He had written
several times to Annie. letters full of
protestations Of love and repentance.
but had received in return only cool
advice to wait.
1t was no wonder that he threw
himself into the campaign In . sort
OF frenzy. At last election day came.
At night the votes were counted In the
great hall Of the town hall. On one
side of the hall sat j. ]. with a trust
ed fugleman on either hand On the
other side stood Henry with q group
OF his political supporters The vote
was close, very close. But at last the
counting was over and the citizens
ticket declared defeated by a small
plurality. Henry went over and shook
his victorious opponent by the hand,
and went out Of the hall with y laugh.
"Goodby. butt-in." said the genial
Derwis on ]. Us left; ''that's the last

THE young man has conducted his
campaign with considerable political
acumen-" He had heard TINT phrase
in speech by his congressman nj a
recent rally" and he liked Il So he
repeated 1t, Considerable political
acumen"
That night J. J. thought hard nj. the
way home. A few days arter this,
as Henry was sitting talking over the
recent struggle with Paul Blythe, his
nearest friend and most active sup
porter, note was handed In 10 him.
He recognized the writing and his
hand trembled as he opened. II. Then
he read:
Dear Harry: Bow admire you for
the fight you madei Pa has eapItu-

"Hoorah!" shouted Henry. -. J..

bear me the least malice 70, fighting
her father"
Bear malicev cried Paui. why,
you poor simp, she secretly engi-
neered the whole thing. She knew, II
you didn't. that the only way to

politically. She got me to give you
the nomination and furnished us with
points for the campaign" But Henry
had seized his hat and was ON his way
to the palace Of the caliph and the
arms Of his Annie. Is II necessary for
me to state explicitly that IN due
time, Annie and Henry wsro married
and lived happily ever aftsr7 i trow
not.
