II Eugene's appearance baa a pronounced effect upon Mamie Pike, whose father, Judge Pike, is the wealthiest and most prominent citizen of Canaan. Joe worships Mamie from •far. Eugene interferes in a snow fight between Joe and bis hotdenish and very poor girl friend, Ariel Taber, who is worsted, Artel hotly resents the interference and slaps Eugene, who sends her home.

Ariel discovers Joe, aut shortly afterward, learning that her uncle, Jonas Tabor, has died suddenly, leaves. The Daily ■Tocsin ol the next day tells of Joe’s discovery on the Pike veranda and of bis pursuit and escape therefrom. It also refers to wounds In the head of himself and of Norbert Flitcroft, who detected him. Joe retires to Se “Beach," a low resort kept by his friend, Ike Bbeehan, who dresses his wound. VI Joe leaves Mike's place. He visits Ariel Tabor, who, by the death of her Uncle Jonas, has become rich. She wishes Joe to accompany her and her grandfather to Paris. Joe refuses and leaves Canaan to avoid arrest for the trouble at Judge Pike’s. Vll—Joe is heard from two years later as a ticket Seller for a side show.

Joe has a large practice, principally among the lower classes, and 1* frequently attacked by the Tocsin. Joe begins, in his lonliness, to yield to the seductions ot the bottle. Bantry's engagment to Mamie Pike la announced. Bantry is now associate editor of the Tocsin, owned by Judge Pike. X—Joe awakens after a "bad night” with the words, “Remember, across the Main street bridge at noon," ringing In hia ear*. He gpesthere and is presently joined by the most beautifully dressed girl he has ever •een. Xl—She turns out to be Ariel Tabor, arrived In Canaan the ntgbi before from her long sojourn in Paris. She has seen Joe as •he alighted from the train and, realizing his condition, had escorted him home after exacting from him a promise to meet her the next day (Sunday) across the Main Btreet bridge at noon. Joe learns that Ariel ia stopping at Judge Pik e's home, the judge having entire charge of her money, etc. XII— Kogene Bantry, although engaged to Mamie, it much smitten with Ariel's charmß. Judge Pike tries his usual blustering tactics witli Ariel, but subsides When she tells him that •be shall ask him to turn over the care of her estate to Joe Louden, Xlll—Ariel holds a sort of informal reception at Judge Pike’sand learns that the "tough element" is talking of running Joe for mayor. XlV—Happy Fear and Nashville Cory have more trouble. Joe corners Happy and sends Claudine (Mrs. Tear) to meet him. XV—Ariel visits Joe’s office to put her affairs in his hand*.

XVl—Mamie Pike admits to Ariel that she, too. ha* begun to believe In Joe Louden, XVll—TheTocain makes virulent attacks on Joe Louden and Happy Fear. Mike Sheehan hints that he may shortly have some interesting secrets to divulge in connection With Judge Pike’s affairs. X VIII-The Toesin continues its attacks. Judge Pike informs Ariel that her supposed fortune consists of valueless securities. XlX—Aged Eskew Arp. one of the band of National Honse gossips and erstwhile traducers of Joe, rescue* Joe’s dog from a miserable death at the hands of the townspeople and then collapses. XX. Arp is carried in Judge Pike’s carriage to Ariel’s house. With him are Ariel, Mamie Pike and Joe Louden. Arp compels several of his National House cronies who call to •hake hands with Joe Louden. XXl—Eugene Bantty repents of hts treatment of his stepbrother. Joe Louden, resigns from the Tocsin and leaves Canaan. Forbert Flitcroft tells how Judge Pike bought Granger Gas stocks with Ariel's money, but took that stock for himself, substituting for it worthless distillery securities. Eskew Arp dies.

CHAPTER XXII. JOE helped to carry what was mortal of Eskew from Ariel’s house to Its final abiding place. With him in that task were Buckalew, Bradbury, the colonel and the grandsons of the two latter, and lira. Louden drew in her skirts grimly •a her stepson passed her in the mournful procession through the hall. Her •yes were red with weeping (not for Eskew), but not so red as those of Mamie Pike, who stood beside her. On the way to the cemetery Joe and Ariel were together in a carriage with Buckalew and the minister who had read the service, a durk, pleasant eyed yotiing man, and the squire, after being almost overcome during the ceremony, experienced a natural reaction, talking cheerfully throughout the long drive. He recounted many anecdotes of Eskew, chuckling over most of them, though filled with wonder by a coincidence which he and Flitcroft bad discovered—the colonel had recently been made the custodian of bis old friend's will, and It had been opened the day before the funeral. Eskew had left everything he possessed, with the regret that it was so little, to Joe. “But the queer thing about it.” said the squire, addressing himself to Ariel, “was the date of it. the 17tl> of June. The colonel and I got to talkin' It over m out on his porch last night, tryin* to reflect what was goin’ on al>out then, and we figgered it out that it was the Monday after you come back, the very day he got so upset when he saw you goin’ up to Louden’s law office with your roses.” • Joe looked quickly at Ariel. She did sot meet his glance, but, turning Instead to Ladew, the clergyman, began, with a barely perceptible blush, to talk of something he had said in a sermon two weeks ago. The two fell into a thoughtful and amiable discussion, during which there stole into Joe’s heart a strange and unreasonable pain. The young minister had lived In Canaan only a few months, and Joe had never seen him until that morning, but he liked the short, honest talk he had made, liked his cadenceless voice and keen, dark face and, recalling what be bad heard Martin Pike vociferating ip his brougham one Sunday) perceived that Ladew was the fellow who had “got to go” because his sermons did got please the Judge. Yet

Ariel remembered for more than a fortnight a passage from one of these sermons. And as Joe looked at the manly and intelligent fuce opposite him it did not seem strange that she should. He resolutely turned his eyes to the oi>en window and saw that they had entered the cemetery, were near the green knoll where Eskew was to He beside a brother who' had died long ago. He let the minister help Ariel out, going quickly forward himself With Buckalew, and then, after the little while that the restoration of dust to dust mercifully needs, he returned to the carriage only to get his hat. Ariel and Ladew and the squire were already seated and waiting. “Aren’t you going to ride home with us?” she asked surpr'sed. “No,” he explained, not looking at her. "I have to talk with Norbert Flitcroft. I’m going back with him. Goodby.” „ His excuse was the mere truth, his conversation with Norbert in the carriage which they managed to secure to themselves continuing earnestly until Joe spoke to the driver and alighted at a corner near Mr. Furbach’s Italian possessions. "Don’t forget,” he said as he closed the carriage door, “I’ve got to have both ends of the string in my hands.”

“Forget!” Norbert looked at the cupola of the l'ike mansion rising above the maples down the street; “It Isn’t likely I’ll forget!” When Joe entered the “Louis Qulnze room" which some decorator, drunk with power, had mingled into the brewer’s villa, he found the owner and Mr. Sheehan, with five other men, engaged In a meritorious attempt to tone down the apartment with smoke. Two of the five ethers were prosperous owners of saloons, two were known to the public (whose notion of what it meant when it used the term was something of the vaguest) as politicians; the fifth was Mr. Farbach’s closest friend, one who (Joe had heard) was to be the next chairman of the city committee of the party. They were seated about a table, enveloped In blue clouds and hushed to a grave and pertinent silence which clarified Immediately the circumstance that whatever debate had preceded his arrival, it was now settled. Their greeting of him, however, though exceedingly quiet, indicated a certain expectancy as he accepted the chair which had been left for him at the head of the table. He looked thinner and paler than usual, which Is saying a great deal, but presently, finding that the fateful hush which bis entrance had broken was immediately resumed, a twinkle came into bis eye, one of his eyebrows went up, and a corner of his mouth went down. “Well, gentlemen?* he said.

The smokers continued to smoke and to do nothing else, the exception being Mr. Sheehan, who, though he spoke not, exhibited tokens of agitation and excitement which he curbed with difficulty, shifting about in his chair, gnawing his cigar, crossing and uncrossing his knees, rubbing and slapping his hands together, clearing his throat with violence, his eyes fixed all the while, as were those of his companions, upon Mr. Farbach. So that Joe was given to perceive that It had been agreed that the brewer should be the spokesman. Mr. Farbach was deliberate, that was all, which added to the effect of what he finally did say. “Choe,” he remarked placidly, “you are der next mayor off Canaan.” “Why do you say that?” asked the young man sharply. “Bickoss us here,” he answered, interlocking the tips of his fingers over his waistcoat that being as near folding his hands as lay within his power, “bickoss us here shall try to fix it so, und so hes dlteided.”

Joe took a deep breath. “Why do you want me 7” “Dot,” replied the brewer, “las someding I shall tell you.” He paused to contemplate his cigar. “We want you blckoss you are der best man fer dot positslon.” “Louie, you mustn’t make a mistake at the beginning,” Joe said hurriedly. “I mny not be the kind of man you’re looking for. If I went in”— He hesitated, staininering. “It seems an ungrateful thing to say, but—but there wouldn’t be any slackness—l couldn’t be bound to anybody”— “Holt up your hosses!” Mr. Parbach once in his life was so ready to reply that he was able to Interrupt. “Who hes you heert speak off bounding? Hes I speakt off favors? Dlt~l say der sboult be slackness in der city gofer’ment? Litsen to me. Choe.” He renewed his contemplation of his cigar, then proceeded: “I hes been finkin’ it ofer now a couple years. I hes mate up my mind. If some pebbles are gombelt to keep der laws and oders are not, dot’s a great atwantttch to der oders. Dot iss what lss ruining der goundry, und der peobles lss commencement to take notice. Efer’veres In Oder towns der iss housecleaning. Dey are reforming und indiedlng, und pooty soon dot mofement comes here—-shoo-er! If we intent to holt der pardy in power, we shoult be a leetle ahead off dot mofejnent so when It sboult be

here we hes a goot ’mlnadstretion to fall beck on. Now, dere Iss anoder brewery opened und trying to gd|tbete. mlt me here in Canaan. If dot brewery owns der mayor, all der tycoons buying my beer must shut up at ’leven o’glock und Sundays, but der oilers keep° open. If I own der mayor, I make der same against dpt Oder brewery. Now, I am pooty sick off dot ways off (bitsness und fighting all times. Also,” Mr. Farbach added, with magnificent cnlniness. “my trade Isa larcbfy owltaide off Canaan, und It Isa bedder dot here der laws shoult be enforced der same fer all. Litsen, Oboe! All us here beliefs der same way. Yon are square. Der whole tsaloon element knows dot und knows dot all voult be treated der same. Mlt you it voult be fairness fer each one. Foolish peobles hes salt you are a law tricker, but We know dot you hes only mate der laws broteet as well as bunlsh. Und at such times as dey het been broken you hes made dem as mertsiful- as you couit. You are no tricker. We are willing to help you make it a glean town. Odervlse der fightin’ voult go on until der mofement strikes here und all der grants vake up und we git a fool reformer fer mayor und der town goes to der dogs. If I try to put in a man dot I own, der Oder brewery lss goin’ to fight like h—l, but If I work fer you It will not fight so hart.” “But the other people,” Joe objected, “those - outside of what 1« called the saloon element—do you understand how many of them will be against me?” “It lss der tsaloon element,” Mr. Farbach returned peacefully, “dot does der fightin’.” “And you have considered my standing with that part of Canaan which considers Itself the most respectable section?” He rose to his feet, standing straight and quiet, facing the table, upon which, it chanced, there lay a copy of the Tocsin. “Uud yet,” observed Mr. Farbach, with mildness, “we got some pooty risbeedable men right here.” “Except me,” broke In Mr. Sheehan grimly, “you have.” “Have you thought of this?” Joe leaned forward and touched the paper upon the table. “We hes,” replied Mr. Farbach; “all of us. You shall beat it.“ There was a strong chorus of confirmation from the others, and Joe's eyes flashed. —— “Have you considered,” he continued rapidly, while a warm color began to conquer bis pallor—“have you considered the powerful influence which will be against me, and more against me now, I should tell you, than ever before—that influence, I mean, which Is striving so hard to discredit me that lynch law has been hinted for poor Fear if 1 should clear him? Have yon thought of that? Have you thought”— “Have we thought o’ Martin Pike?" exclaimed Mr. Sheehan, springing to bis feet, face aflame and beard bristling. “Aye, we’ve thought o’ Martin Pike, and our thinkln’ of him is where he begins to git what’s cornin' to him! What d’ye stand there pickin’ straws fer? What’s the matter with ye?” he demanded angrily, his violence tenfold increase)) by the long repression he bad put upon blmself during the brewer’s deliberate utterances. “If Louie Farbach and his crowd says they’re fer ye, I guess ye’ve got a chanst, haven’t ye?”

"Walt” said Joe. “I think you underestimate Pike’s influence”— - “Underestimate the devil!” shouted Mr. Sheehan, uncontrollably excited. “You talk about influence! He’s been the worst Influence this town’B ever had—and his tracks covered up in the dark wherever he set his ugly foot down! These men know it, and you know some but not the worst of it, because none of ye live as deep down in it as I do! Ye want to make a clean town of it, ye want to make a little heaven of the Beach”— “And In the eyes of Judge Pike,” Joe, cut him off, “and of all who take their opinions from him. f. represent Beaver Beach!” Mike Sheehan gave a wild shout. “Whooroo! It’s come! I knowed it would! The day I couldn’t hold my tongue, though I passed my word I would when the coward showed the. deed he didn’t'dare to git recorded! ; Waugh!” He shouted again, with bit-

"Martin Pike owns Beaver Beach!"

ter laughter. “Ye do! In the eyes o’ them as follow Martin Pike ye stand fer the Beach and all its wickedness, do ye? Whooroo! It’s come! Ye’re an offense In the eyes o’ Martin Pike and all his kind because ye stand fer the Beach, are ye?” “Yon know it!” Joe answered sharp-

ly. “If they could wipe the Beach off the mqp and me with it”— “Martin Pike would?” shouted Mr. Sbfeehan, while the others, open mouthed, stared at him. "Martin Pike would?” “I don't need to tell you that,” said Joe. Mr. Sheehan’s big fist rose high over the table and descended crashing upon it “It’s a Her' he roared. “Martin Pike owns Beaver Beach!” (to b* continued 1 •

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.

Readily Yield to Soothing, Healing Treatment ol Hyomel. Bronchial troubles are purely local. They cannot be helped by stomach dosing. They are caused by irritation in the air paßaagee and can be relieved and oared by medicated air alone. In this lies the seoret of the great success of Hy-o-mei in the treatment of bronchial troubles. The Hy-o-mei medication, laden with nature’s remedies, is breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, reaching every part of the bronchial tubes and killing at once the disease germß. It allays all irritation and heals the inflammation ot the mucous membrane with astonishing rapidity, Treatment with sprays, donches and atomizers in bronchial troubles is condemned by the best physicians, as they oanse further irritation. The first breath of Hy-o-mei’s medicated air seems to soothe the inflammation, stop the cough, and thus relief soon becomes permanent and a cure results. Hy -o-mei has made many remarkable cures in the worst and most chronic forms of bronchial troubles and is sold by B. F. Fendig with the same guarantee as he gives when Hy-o-mei is purchased for catarrh, that is, to refund the money in case the remedy does not give satisfaction. The complete outfit costs but SI.OO,
