"They did yoar work, James," said 1. "I guarasUe that in no case will thm unpleasant consequences to you Je Bore than a few disagreeable but noon forgotten newspaper articles. You haggle oyer these trifles, and why, look at your cabinet list! There sire two names on It two of the fovr Goodrich men that will cost you blasts of public anger perhaps the Tenominatlon. "Is this ray friend Harvey Sayler?" lie exclaimed, grief and pain in that face which had been used by him for 30 years as the arulptor uses the molding clay. "It is". I answered calmly. "And never more your friend than now, when you hare ceased to be a friend to him and to yourself." "Then do you ask me to share the infamy of those wretches," he pleaded. "They are our allies and helpers, I said, "wretches only as I and all of us In practical politics are wretches. Difference of degree, perhaps; but not of kind. And, James, if our promises to these invaluable fellow workers of ours are not kept, kept to the uttermost, you will compel me and my Croup of senators to oppose and defeat your most important nominations. And I shall myself, publicly, from the floor of the senate, show up these Goodrich nominees of yours as creatures of corrupt corporations and monopolists." I said this without heat; every word of it fell cold as arctic ice upon his passion. A long pause, then: "Your promises Bhall be kept," he assented with great dignity of manner; "not because you threaten, Harvey, but because I value your friendship beyond anything and everything. And I may add I am sorry, profoundly sorry, my selections for the important places do not please you." "I think cf your future." I said. "You talk of friendship " "No, no, Harvey," he protested, with it vehemance of reassurance that ruck me as amusing. And." I went on, "it is in friendship, James, that I warn you not to i:il all your crucial places with creatures of the Goodrich crowd. They will rule your administration, they will drive you, in spite of yourself, on and on. from excess to excess. You will put the middle west irrevocably ! against you. You will make even the east doubtful. You are rajing. paying with your whole future, for that which is already yours. If you lose your hold on the people, the moneycrowd will have none of jou. If you keep the people, the money-crowd will be your very humble servant." I happened just then to glance past Im at a picture on the wall over 1:5k hair. It was a crayon portrait of hit. wife, ci a tie from an enlarged phc:ograph a poor piece of work, almost ludicrous in Its distortions of proportion and perspective. But it ttouched me the mure because it was such a humble thioK. reminiscent of her and his .and my lowly beginnings. And an appeal seemed to go straight to my heart from those eyes that had so often been raised from the sewing in sympathetic understanding of the things I was struggling to make her husband see. I pointed to the picture; he slowly turned round in his chair until he, too. looked rt it.- What would she say, Buibank." I asked, "if she were with us now?" And then I went on to analyze his outlined administration, to show him la detail why I thought it would ruin him. to suggest men who were as good party men as the Goodrich crowd and would be a credit to him and a help. And he listened with his oldtime expression, looking up at his dead wife's picture all the while. "You must be popular, at any cost," I ended. "The Industrial crowd will stay with the party, no matter what we do. As long as Scarborough Is in control on the other side, we are their only hope. And so, we are free to seek popularity and we must regain it or we're done for. Money won't save us when we've lost our grip on the rank and file. The presidency can't b bought again for you. If it must be bought next time, another figure-head will have to be used." "I can't tell you how grateful I am," was his conclusion after I had put my whole mind before him and he had diacussed it. "But there are certain pledges to Goodrich " "Break them." said L "To keep them Is catastrophe." I knew the pledges he had in the foreground a St. luis understrapper of the New York financial crowd for secretary of the treasury; for attorney general a lawyer who knew nothinr of politics or public sentiment or indeed anything ' but how to Instruct corporations ia law-breaking ad law-dodging. He thought a long time. When he answered it was with a shake of the head. "Too late, I'm afraid. Harvey. I've asked the men and they've accepted. That was a most untimely illness of yours.

eral of the most conspicuous men in the party." "Not so serious as to offend the party itself." I replied. "Money is a great power in politics but partlzanship is a greater." "I'll think it over," was the most he had the courage to concede. 1 must look at all sides, you know. But, whatever I decide, I thank you for your candor." We separated, the best of friends in the world, I trying to recover some few of the high hopes of him that had filled me on election night. "He's weak and timid," I said to myself, "but at bottom he must have a longing to be president in fact as well as in name. Even the meanest slave longs to he it man." I should have excepted the self-enslaved slaves of ambition. Of all bondmen, they alone, I believe, not only do not wish freedom, but also are ever plotting how they may add to their chains.
CHAPTER XXIX. A Letter From the Dead. I was living alone at the Willard. Soon after the death of Burbank'a wife, his sister and brother-in-law, the Gracies, had come . with their three children to live with him and to look after his boy and girl. Trouble between his family and mine, originating in some impertinences of the oldest Grade girl, spread from the children to the grown people, until, when he went into the White House, he and I were the only two on speaking terms. I see now that this situation had large influence on me in holding aloof and waiting always for overtures from him. At the time I thought, as no doubt he thought also, that the quarrel was beneath the notice of men. At any rate ray family decided not to come to Washington during his flr6t winter in the White House. I lived alone at the Willard. One afternoon toward the end of February I returned there from the senate and found Woodruff, bad news in his face. "What is it?" I asked indifferently, for I assumed it was some political tangle. '"Your wife was taken very ill very suddenly, he said. His eyes told me the rest. If I had ever asked myself how this news would affect rue, I should have answered that it would give me a sensation of relief. But, instead of re. lief, I felt the stunning blow of a wave of sorrow which has never wholly receded. Not because I loved her that I never did. Not because she was the mother of my children my likes and dislikes are direct and personal. Not because she was my wife that bond had been galling. Not because I was fond of her she was one of those cold, angry natures that forbid affection. No; I was overwhelmed because she and I had been intimates, with all the closest interests of life in common, with the whole world, even my children, whom I loved passionately, outside that circle which fate had drawn around us two. I imagine this is not uncommon among married people this unhealable break in their routine of association when ! one departs. No doubt it often passes with the unthinking for love belatedly discovered. "She did not suffer," said Woodruff gently. "It was heart, disease. She had just come in from a ride with your oldest daughter. They were resting and talking in high spirits by the library lire. And then the end came like putting out the light." i Heart disease! Often I had noted the irregular beat of her heart a throb, a long pause, a flutter, a short pause, a throb. And I could remember that more than once the sound had been followed by the shadowy appearance, in the door of my mind, of one of those black thoughts which try to tempt hope but only make it hide in shame and dread. Now, the memory of those occasions tormented me into accusing myself of having wished her tone. But it was not so. (To Be Owntlnuad.) GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR. "When you see an article well advertised in the newspapers, you may be sure it's a good article, for advertising only pays if the goods are honest and possess merit. The people who make a specialty of one advertised article, like Cascarets, Candy Cathartic for example, stake their whole business existence on its doing what they say it will. They must "make good" as the saying is. Readers of this paper are urged to be sure that they get what they ask for, when they ask for an advertised article, for it's the good thing that is imitated and counterfeited. Don't accept substitute! Insist on getting the genuine! 16-1S-20 If in need of a hog, sheep or cattle dipping tank, write before buying to the National Medical Co., Sheldon, la. RATE ON COAL IS CUT TO HELP INDIANA MINES. The Indiana Railroad commission has granted the Vandalia railroad permission to make a lower rate on coal in car load lots to Michigan City than to intermediate points. In its petition the company stated that its object in desiring to make the rate lower was to place the mines in these districts In closer competition with the eastern mines and the Illinois mines, giving them a better chance to supply vthe boats that ply on Lake Michigan and touch at Michigan City.

and dance,, there is a new illustrated song, "Genevieve." and the motion pictures are highly interesting. A bright spot is the work of Fitch B. Cooper, who has a musical novelty turn combined with animal imitations, - that is one of the most clever nature. He was enthusiastically: recalled. There will be the usual scurenir matinee on Wednesday, a reception to the ladies and children fot'owing t lie matinee on Friday and a see

"Bankers and Brokers." Infectious humor and tuneful music will hold sway at the Gennett tonight when B. E. Forrester will present the Inimitable dialect comedians. Yorke and Adams in the new musical comedy, in two acts, "Bankers & Brokers." The play is a kaleidoscope of pretty girls, rich dressing and pretentious scenery. Fun and glitter are combined with musical numbers of the type that will be whistled and played long after the merry company has gone on its triumphant way. Just a Little Fond Affection; Underneath a Parasol; Mary of the Prairie; Mooning Time; Egyptian Maid; Would You Leave Your Happy Home for Me? The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword; Gatior and the Coon; What Would You Do? Holding Hands, are some of the song hits and there are twenty in all. The company of forty-five contains besides Its score of clever principals, an active and well drilled chorus of twenty. Bright, clean, sparkling with a complete series of up-to-date ! specialties are promised, all 'who attend the coming series of performance ! es. ' "When Knighthood Was in Flower." A theatrical event in which all the ; theatregoers of this city are much in- ! terested is the engagement of Grace 1 Merritt in "When Knighthood Was in 'Flower," at the Gennett on April 27. . The interest does not center wholly i about the actress, Miss Merritt, ! though she is one of the most talented jon the American stage todas, and one of the most beautiful, but is divided partly with her play, dramatized from Charles Major's beautiful novel by Paul Kester. The entire story as it is fin the book is told in the play, and ijet, while Mr. Kester has preserved all the charm and atmosphere of the novel, he has successfully avoided : making his drama too discursive. "The Lion and the Mouse." There will be no advance in prices for the production here of "The Lion and the Mouse", Charles Klein's greatest play which Henry" B. Harris will produce at the Gennett April 22. The theme which Mr. Klein has taken for' this drama is most pertinent to the present day when everyone is keenly alive to the machination of trusts and kings of finance. Indeed it may be said that "The Lion and the Mouse" displays the excellent judgment shown by Mr." Klein in presenting a phase of American life with which the public has become familiar through the newspapers and magazines of the country. He depicts the king of finance as he is, robbed of all melodramatic attributes. In opposition to him he places an equally true figure of American womanhood. It is their struggle with the final victory for the girl which constitutes the basis upon which this powerful drama of emotion is built The extraordinary success of the play is well known. Its presentation here cannot but excite the widest interest. DeWolf Hopper Gennett. The Gennett bids fair to be the mecca for amusement lovers Wednesday night when that popular playhouse will present for the first time in this city DeWolf Hopper and company in DeKoven and Rankin's latest comic opera, "Happyland." This is another of the Messrs. Shuberts' magnificent productions. "Happyland" is in two acts and two scenes, one of which repre- ! sonts the courtyard of the Imperial ; palace of Elysia and the other the Elysian fields. In giving Mr. Hopper EGYPTIAN MAIDS. the, first class vehicle required as a successor to "Wang" and "EI Capitan," the question of a proper and adequate support was carefully considered, and in consequence the comedian finds himself aided by an excellent company. Including a large and finely equipped chorus, among whom are many of the New York Casino girls and a cast comprising such favorites 5s Marguerite Clark, Ada Deaves, William Wolff, William Danforth, John
Hendricks, Frank Casey, George Odell, Joseph Phillips and Florence Martin.
