"But I crust " "Now, I't known for year, I went on, "that you were in love with
that other man wbea I asked you to
marry m. I might hare taunted you with it, might bav told you how
sated him from going to jail for
passing worthless checks."
This delighted Mr this Jealousy so long and so carefully hidden. Under
cover of her delight I escaped from th witness ' stand. And the discovery that evening by Doc Woodruff that my son's ensnarer had a husband living put her in high good humor. "If he'd only come home," said she, adding: "Though, now I feel ihat he's perfectly safe with her." "Yes It them alone, I replied. ' He has at least one kind of sense a sense of honor. And I suspect and hope that he has at hottom common sense, too. Let him find her out for himself. Then he'll be done with her, and her . kind, for good." "I must marry him off as soon as possible," said Carlotta. "I'll look about for some nice, quiet young girl with character and looks and domestic tastes." She laughed a little bitterly. "You men can profit by experience and it ruins us women. "Unjust." said I, "but Injustice and stupidity are the ground plan of life." We had not long to wait. The lady, as soon as Junior reached the end of his cash, tried to open negotiations. Failing and becoming convinced that he had been cast off by his parents, Bhe threw aside "her mask. One straight look into her real countenance was enough for the boy. He fled shuddering but not to me as I had experted. Instead, he got a place as a clerk in Chicago.
"Why not let him shift for himself for awhile?" suggested Woodruff, who couldn't have tsken more troubJo about the affair if the boy had been bis own. "A man never knows whether his feet were made to stand on and walk with, unless he's been down to his uppers." "I tbiak the boy's got his grandmother in him," said I. "Let's give
him a chance."
"He'll make a career for himself
yet like his father's." said Woodruff.
That, with the eincerest enthusi
asm. But instinctively I looked at him for signs of sarcasm. And then . I wondered how many "successful" men would. In the same circumstances, have had the same curiously significant instinct.
CHAPTER XXVIII. . Under a Crayon Portrait. It was not less. than a month before inauguration Daily the papers gave probMe selections for the high posts under the approaching administration; 2X.&. while many of them wave attributed to my influence. Roebuck's son as ambassador to Russia was the only one I ever approved of. As payments for toe services of the plutocracy they were unnecessary and foolishly lavish; as preparations for a renominatlon and reelection, the two guiding factors in every plan of a president-elect, they were preposterous, j They were first steps toward an administration that would make Scarborough's triumph Inevitable, in spite of his handicap of idealism. I sent Woodruff west to find out what Burbank was doing about the places I had pledged all of them less "honorable," but more lucrative offices which party workers covet. He returned with the news thatr- according to the best information he could get through his spies in Burbank's entourage, all our pledges would be broken; the Sayler-Burbank machine was to be made over into a Goodrich-Bur-bank. . I saw that I could not mucir longer delay action. But I resolved to put It off until the very last minute, meanwhile trying to force Burbank to send for me. My cannonade upon Goodrich in 6.000 newspapers, great and small, throughout the west and south, had been reenforced by the bulk of the opposition press. I could not believe it was to be' without influence upon the timid Burbank, even though he knew , who was back of the attack, and precisely how I was directing it. I was relying as I afterward learned, not In vain upon my faithful De Milt to bring to "Cousin James attention the outburst of public sentiment against his guide, philosopher and friend, the Wall street fetch-and-carry. I had fixed on February 15 as the date on which I w'jld telegraph a formal demand for an interview. On February 11 he surrendered he wired asking me to come. I took a chance; I wired back a polite request to be excused , as 1 had urgent business in Chicago. And 24 hours later 1 passed within 30 miles of Rivington on my way to Chicago with Carlotta we were going to see Junior, hugely proud of himself and his $27 a week. At the Auditorium a telegram waited from Burbank: He hoped I would come as Boon as I could; the matters he wished to discuss were most important.

clouds for three months; he was in

He shut me in with him and began
confiding the plans he and Goodrich had made cabinet . places, foreign posts, and so forth. His voice, lingering and luxuriating upon the titles "my ambassador to his Brittanic majesty," "my ambassador to the German emperor," and so on amused and a little, but only a little, astonished me; I had always known that he was a through-and-th rough snob. For nearly an hour I watched his ingenious, childish delight in bathing himself in himself, the wonderful' fountain of all these honors. At last he finished, laid down his list, took off his noseglasses. "Well, Harvey, what do you think?" he asked, and waited with sparkling eyes for my enthusiastic approval. "I see Goodrich drove a hard bargain." said I. "Yet he came on his knees, if you had but realized it." Burbank's color mounted. "What do you mean, Sayler?" he inquired, the faint beginnings of the insulted god in his tone and manner. "You asked my opinion," I answered, "I'm giving It. I don't recall a single name that isn't obviously a Goodrich suggestion. Even the Roebuck appointment " "Sayler," he interrupted. In a forbearing tone, "I wish you would not remind me so often of your prejudice
against senator uooancn. It is unworthy of you. But for my tact pardon ray frankness your prejudice wohH have driven him away, and with him a support he controls " I showed my amusement. "Don't smile. Sayler," he protested, with some anrer in his smooth, heavy voice. "You are nor the only strong man in the party, and I venture to take advantage of our long friendship to speak plainly to you. I wish to see a united party. One of my reasons for sending for you was to tell you how greatly I am distressed and chagrined by the attacks on Senator Goodrich in our papers." "Did you have any other reason for sending for me?" said I very quietly. "That was the principal one," he confessed. "Oh!" I exclaimed. "What do you mean, Sayler?" "I thought possibly you might also have wished to tell me how unjust you thought the attacks on me in the eastern papers, and to assure me that they had only strengthened your friendship. . He was silent. I rose, threw my overcoat on my arm. took up my" hat. "Wait a moment, please," he said.. "I have always found you very impartial in your judgments your clear judgment has been of the highest use- i fulness to me. many times." !
"Thank you," I said. "You are most kind most generous." "So," he went on. not dreaming that he might find sarca?m if he searched for it, "I hope you appreciate why I have refrained from seeing you. as I wished. I know, senator, your friendship was loyal. I know you did during the campaign what you thought wisest and best. But I feel that you must ?ee now., what a grave mistake you made. Don't misunderstand me, Harvey. I do not hold it against you. But you must see, no doubt you do see, that it would not be fair for me. it would not be in keeping with the dignity of the great office with which the people have intrusted me, to seem to lend my aprpoyal." I looked straight at him until his gaze fell. Then I said, my voice even lower than usual: "If you will look at the election figures carefully you will find written upon them a very interesting fact. That fact is: In ai: the doubtful states the ones tha elected you Scarborough swep everything where our party has here tofore been strongest; you were elect ed by carrying districts where oir party has always been weakest. And in those districts, James, our monej was spent as you well know." I waited for this to cut through his enswaddlings of self-complacence waited until I saw its acid eating into him. Then I went on: "I hope yov win never again deceive yourself, o let your enemies deceive you. As t your plans the plans for Goodricl and his crowd I have nothing tosav My concern is to have Woodruff': matters his pledges attended tc That I must insist upon. He lowered his brows with a heavj frown. . "I have your assent?" I insisted. "Really, Harvey" there was ai astonishing change from his compla cent, superior voice of a few minute: before "111 do what I can but the impossibilities the duties of of my position ' "You are going to take the office, James," said I. "You can't cheat themen who gave it to you." He did not answer. "I pledged ray word.' I went on. "You gave the promises. I indorsed for you. ' The debts must be met." Never before had 5 anjoyed using that ugliest mt words. "You ask me to bring myself Into nnpopularlty with the entire eoantry," he pleaded. "Several of the men or your list are ex -convicts. Other ar ibout to be Indicted for election frauds. Many are men utterly with out cbara-er " (To .Be j.Mitluud.)

Practically an entire change of program is announced for this week at the New Phillips, where the Ethel Desmond company will hold forth for its third consecutive week, with increasing popularity. For Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, both afternoon and night, the bill will be "The World Against Him," and for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, both afternoon and night, "The Girl from Nevada." These are two of the . best plays in the large repertoire of the Desmond company. In addition new vaudeville features will be presented, including Ethel Desmond in high class singing, Frank Kelley in an illustrated song, Willis Van, singing and dano ing, motion pictures and the Friese Sisters, singing and dancing. It aj pears that this week will be more interesting perhaps, than the two that have preceded.

Hers is a character full of contradictions, at times a perfect shrew, and then a woman most lovable, now haughty as the princess and sister of a king should be, again as submissive and gentle as a child, proud as a woman can be, and then, finding her heart lost to a man beneath her station, though noble in character, giving it to him in all its fullness, and fighting for him with all the power of her passionate nature.

"The Lion and the Mouse." Charles Klein in "The Lion and the Mouse" which production will be offered here by Henry B. Harris, at the Gennett on April 22, has utilized phase of national life which has never before been used for stage treatment and which proves of intense interest as a result. He has taken one of the money kings of the country, a type of the financiers who manipulate the destinies of the nation and made him one of the central figures of the plot.

stant popularity over night. When "Happyland" was first produced in New York, one of the most substantial successes ever recorded on Broadway was made by this slip of a girl, little more than a child. The amount of praise bestowed on Miss Clark is enough to turn the head of any ordinary being, but with Miss Clark it seems to have had no bad effect. Her debut was made in a little company playing "Carmen," and fiom her very first appearance her rise has been steady and rapid.
IS ACT1VEAT 86 YEARS Dr. Thomas Stabler a Veteran Of the Methodist Church.
Of a former Richmond pastor, the Western Christian Advocate, says: Dr. Thos. J. Stabler, of the North Indiana Conference, eighty-six years of age, is a remarkably well preserved man. During the revival meetings in Greenfield, Ind., he preached in three different churches with, great acceptability. Recently . a new class has been organized by . the pastor of the Bradley Methodist Church, In East Greenfield, and on Sunday, March 25, Dr. Stabler preached in the schoolhouse and two conversions followed.
Bruce Hall was elected track manager at a meeting of .the Earlham Athletic . sssocis-tion, . Ths association also extended Kibhey Jt Co.. a vote oi thanks for contribution to the athletic fuud.
In the Wilson-Llntt meetings now being held for the First Christian church, there was a variety of meetings Sunday that resulted in fifteen
people uniting themselves with the i j church, making now a total of forty. The regular morning services were
held in the Christian auditorium, but in the afternoon the work was taken to the Main Street 'Friends church, where a men's meeting was held. Mr. Wilson addressed himself directly to the needs of men, speaking of those things that make and unmake manhood. In this meeting there were two who confessed their faith in Christ. There were present about three hundred men, who gave most respectful attention to every word that was uttered. In the course of this address the evangelist made a telling plea for the Y. M. C. A. project that is now on foot. He classed the association as among those forces that have to do with the making of manhood. "Richmond cannot afford, considering the association simply as a conserver of manhood, to allow this movement to fail," he said, in the midst of his appeal. "There is much brain power and soul power that is being wasted in a city like this, just because it is not permitted to go in its appointed way," was another of his utterances. Preceding the sermon a quartet, composed of Messrs. Wilcoxen, Wilson. Traura and Lintt, rendered a selection entitled "That Beautiful Land." The orchestra of seven pieces gave splendid assistance in the musical numbers. Great Crowd at Night. But when night came, the wisdom of the evangelists in asking for a larger auditorium was again shown, for the time had not arrived for me services to open, ere the west room was filled to overflowing, ana in a little while nearly all the afiilable space of the east room was taken. It was variously estimated that there were present from fifteen hundred to eighteen hundred people, three times as many as the smaller room would have
accommodated. Miss Karolyn Karl, having already sung in the "morning service, again supplied the solo for the evening, singing in her own beautiful way, "When the. Mists Have Cleared Away. Mr. Wilson preached jju the subject: "The only thing that can keep me out of heaven." This he said is sin. At the close of the invitation it was found that there were four who had presented themselves for membership with the church. On Tuesday night the evangelist returns, and will continue, indefinitely at the Friends' church. His subject of Tuesday night is "Behold Thy Mother." This is to be a mother's meeting, but will be of such character as to permit all who wish to come.

A WONDER THAT HAS PUZZLED MANY. There are many people that are greatly puzzled over the wonderful effects of Root Juice. When this new medicine was- first introduced it was generally thought that a new fake was born tq die in a short time. But as time passes and so many testimonies are pouring in from all over the country from people who had given up hope of ever seeing another well day, and neighbor is telling neighbor of some great good received from the use of Root Juice, many people are wondering why this great remedy was not discovered years ago. What a great boon to human-kind is a remedy like Root Juice, a combination of nature's drugs that soothes and heals and tones the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. How sweet is health and - how wonderful are the many cures that Root Juice has made of rheumatism, catarrh, indigestion, female weakness
