head up! We've nothing to be
ashamed Of"
Very pale, unsmiling, with young
head high-dignified, even with wet
curls clinging to brow and cheeks
Helen went down. Adele followed,
looking straight ahead of her, eyes
wide, lashes uncovered.
"Oh, my darling" groaned Len
Hardesty as she passed, but she did
not turn her head.
She was shivering; more from
nervous excitement than from cold,
for their heated emotions had
warmed them. But the crowd did
not know that. Angry cries went
up, Opposition though they were.
"Disgraceful!" - "Disgusting!"
Poor things!" isn't she lovely?"
A lady took off her fur scarf and
placed it on Adele's shoulders.
Take it, darling" she said SYM
pathetically. "I'n come and get it
some time"
Limpy came last, looking small
and woebegone, with childish, tear
stained voice. She could not raise
her eyes, she could not see. Uncle
Lancy was waiting for her. As she
stumbled weeping on the step, with
grand gesture he took of his
smart fall coat and put it about her,
picked her up in his arms and car
ried her to the door of the car.
Aunt Olympia tried to take her
away from him, but the Senator was
firm about that. He held her tight
ly. There was little confusion get
ting into the car. Helen and Adele
had hurriedly crept into the rear
seat, but since both Uncle Lancy and
Olympia wanted to sit with Limpy,
they got out, huddled now in warm
automobile robes generously contrib
uted by fearful sympathizers and
got in the front seat with the driver.
Martin was at the wheel. Ben Badly

renee he could not be trusted to
drive carefully.
Limpy at last was warmly en-
sconced between uncle and aunt,
each with an arm around her and
trying to pull her away from the
+ other.
Leave her alone, Ollie" said the
Senator, with unaccustomed acerbi-
ty. "I'm trying to warm her up"
"I'm warmer than you are, Deli"
she said angrily. Her place is in
mothers arms!"
Limpy automatically continued to
weep bitterly and submitted to pull
ing from both sides.
Home, Martin, fast!" said the
Senator.
"But drive carefully" said Aunt
Olympia. "An accident would make
them nervous"
For many miles the car sped
along in complete silence except for
the screaming sirens of the biggest
police escort accorded any candi-
date in any state in the 1888 cam
paign. Finally, in a small voice,
Limpy spoke.
Uncle Lancy, perhaps I'd bet
ter make clean breast of it," she
said humbly. you may as we'll
know the worst. II made a-sort

Uncle Lancy patted her knee with

asked Aunt Olympia, jealousy edg-

"Oh, I didn't say much" ad-
mitted Limpy. IL just said Un-

Uncle Lancy was SO touched that
he started to reach for his glasses
but remembering just in time that
Aunt Olympia would get Limpy
away from him if he did, he resigned
himself and settled back in the fog.

ment," he said approvingly. 1--WE
