CHAPTER XXXI. Harvey Sayler, Swineherd. At a little after eight the following flight, I was in Chicago, was knockIn?; at suite L. in the Auditorium ho tel; I was hearing sounds from within that indicated that the dinner was under way. The door awunsr back, end there stood old Roebuck himself, napkin in hand, his shriveling old face showing that his dollar sense va3 taking up the strength which his other senses were losing. He Y.as saying cor' ally: "Ah, Croffut, you are late " Then his dim eyes saw me; he pulled himself up like a train when the air brakes are clapped on. "They told me at the office that you were at dinner," said I, in the tone of one who has unintentionally blundered. "As I was looking for dinner, I rather hoped you'd ask me to join j-ou. But T see that " "Come right in," he said smoothly, but gray as a sheep. "You'll find come old friends of yours. We're taking advantage of the convention of western manufacturers to have a little reunion." I now had a full view of the table. There was a silence that made the creaking of starched evening shirtbosoms noisy as those men drew long stealthy breath3 when breathing became imperative. All my "clients" and Domlnick he at Koebuck's light. At Roebuck's left there was a vacant chair. "Shall I sit here?" said I easily. "That place was reserved was for but " stammered Roebuck. "For Granby's ghost?" said I, pleas antly. His big lips writhed. And as my nlance of greeting to these old friends of mine traveled down one side of he table and up the other, it might avo been setting those faces on n so brightly did they flame. It as hard for me to keep my disgust neath the surface. Those "gentlen" assembled there were anions' :o "leading citizens" of my state; .id Roebuck was famous on both es of the Atlantic as a king of nirierco and a philanthropist. Yet, -try one of these brains was busy -st of its hours with assassin-like ir:?'S p.nd for what purpose? For so petty, so gross and stupid "t was inconceivable how intelcould waste life upon them, not of the utter depravity and lack 'nesj. Liars, cheats, bribers; iRtiiiS the fruits (of infamy as in titles to respect, as gifts f rt . mighty God! And here they wore, r.sscmbled now for silly plotting.? against the man whose only offon? in their eyes wa3 that he was saing them from themselves was preventing them from killing the goose that would cheerfully keep on laying the golden eggs for the privilege of remaining alive. It was pitiful. It was nauseating. I felt my degradation in stooping to snch company. I spoke to Dominick last. To my surprise ho squarely returned my Baze. His eyes were twinkling, as the eyes of a pig seem to be, if you look straight into its face when it lifts its snout from a full trough Presently he could contain the huge volume of his mirth no longer. It came roaring from him like a great coarse torrent, shaking his vast bulk and the chair sustained it, swelling the veins in his face, resoundinr through the silent room while tb waiters literally stood aghast. last he found breath to ejaculate "Well. I'll be good and damned!" This gale ripped from the othe; find whirled away their cloaks of sn face-composure. Naked, they suggest ed a lot of rats in a trap Dominic! jeering at them and anticipating thi pleasure of watching me torture them 1 choked back the surge of repulsior and said to Roebuck: "Then where shall I sit?" Roebuck looked, almost wildly, to -ward the foot of the table. He longed to hare me as far from him as possible. Partridge, at the foot of the table, cried out in alarm: 'Make room for the senator between you and Mr. Dominick. Roebuck! He ought to be as neaf tie head of the table as possible." "No matter where Senator Sayler Fits. it's the head of the table," said Roebuck. His commonplace courtesy indicated, not .recovered selfcontrol, but the cunning of his rampant instinct of self-preservation that cunning which men so often exhibit in desperate sfraits, thereby vrinning credit for cool courage. "We're a merry company, said I, as we sat. This, with a glance at IVminick heaving in the subsiding ctorm of his mirth. My remark set Trad: Mark Free Sample. AddrsTpt.l. 1 mmtmXXmVimh O.Art7SM 9.B.T.

Airrrooer 7WfCOSr. tC. him off again. I glanced at his place to see if he had abandoned his former inflexible rule of total abstinence. There stood his invariable pot of tea. Clearly, it was not drink that enabled him to enjoy a situation which, as it seemed to me, was fully as unattractive to him as for his fellow. Soon the door opened and in strode Croffut; handsome, picturesque, with his pose of dashing, brave manhood, which always got the crowds into a mood for the frenzy his oratory conjured. Croffat seemed to me to put the climax upon this despicable company Croffut, one of the great orators of the party, adored by the people that, but for overwhelming superiority in the state, I should never have dared eject him from office. Since I ejected him he had not spoken tc me. Dominick looked at him, saic' in a voice that would have flared ever the warm ashes of manhood into a fu rious ' blaze: "Go and shake hands with Senator Sayler, Croffut, and sit down." Croffut advanced, sraiiing. "I am fit for my company," thought I as I let him clasp my hand. "Better tilt Granby's ghost out of that chair, Croffut," said Dominick, as the ex-senator was seating himself. And in his animal exuberance of delight at his joke and at the whole situation he clapped Roebuck on the shoulder. . Roebuck shrank and winced. Moral humiliation he could shed as an armor-plated turret sheds musket balls. But a physical humiliation, especially with spectators, sank in and sank deep. Instantly, alarmed lest Dominick had seen and understood, he smiled and said: "That's a vigorous ami of yours, Mr. Dominick." "Not bad for a man of 60," said Dominick. I ate because to eat was a necessary part of my pose to absolute calmness; but 1 had to force down the food. It seemed to me to embody the banquet there set before my mental appetite. I found I had no stomach for that banquet. It takes the coarse palate of youth or the depraved palate of a more debauched manhood than mine to enjoy such a feast. Yet, less than a year before, I had enjoyed, had delighted in, a far less strenuous contest with these mutineers. As I sat holding down my gorge and acting as if I were at ease, I suddenly wondered what Elizabeth Crosby would think of me if she could see. And then I saw her, with a reality of imagining that startled me it was as if she were in the doorway; and her eyes lifted to mine in that slow, steady, searching gaze of hers. I suppose if a soldier thrusting his saber Into the bowels of his enemy on the battlefield were suddenly to f-ee before him his mother or the good and gentle wife or daughter he loved, he would drop the saber and fly to hide himself like a murderer. So, I, overwhelmed, said to myself: "I cannot go on! Let these wretches wallow in their own vileness. I shall not wallow with them. I am no swineherd!" As I was debating how to escape and what one of the many other ways of saving my friends and lieutenants I should adopt, Dominick touched me on the arm. "A word with you, senator," said he. He glanced at the others as if he were debating whether he should orer them from the table while he ilked with me. If he had ordered ", they would have gone. But retrained, perhaps by his crude though averent sense of convention, he rose md led the way over to a corner. "I want to tell you, senator, that as soon as I got on to what this here push was plottin', I wired you askin an appointment, You'll find the telegram at your house when you go home. I don't stand for no foulin. 1 play the game straight. I came because I thought you'd want the party to be represented at such a gatherin'." I saw that he had come to the dinner, doubtful whether any enterprise against me, promising enough for him to risk embarking, could be launched; as soon as I entered the room he, like the rat when the cat interrupted the rat-and-mouse convention to discuss belling it, unceremoniously led the way to safety. But this was not one of those occasions on which it is wise to show a man that his lies do not fool you. "I am glad to hear ou say these things, Dominick," sai "I am glad you are loyal to tt irty." "You can trust me, senator," said I irnestly. "I can trust your common sense lid I. And I proceeded to gra lis lucky chance to get away. u leaving." I went on, "as soon ie coffee Is served. I shall look ou to send these gentlemen home f proper frame of mind toward tl arty." His eyes giiPtened. Except h" . rowing fortune-, nothing delighte ira so much as a chance to "roug1 ouse" his eminently respectab pals." He felt toward them th uaint mixture of envy, contempt a' : desire to fight which fills a gam t sight of a fashionably dress -y. He put out his big hand a' nmpened mine with it. "You c: unt on me, senator." he sa :tefu!ly. "I'll trim "em, comb at (To Be .ntlnul.j

The premiere production of this piece I but bv the specialties as well, as they was given in Boston just about a year alone are worth the money. Full anago and one of Mr. Harris companies I nouncement of the program for next :n i js z ii..' .

has been presenting the play at the Lyceum Theatre, New York, for the past eleven months without a single break which is a record no other production can boast of, as at some time during the summer, other attractions have been compelled to close at least for a period of two to four weeks. The hot weather however had little effect on the business at the Lyceum Theatre and the all-summer engagement has proven a sensational one from every standpoint. It may be said in truth that "The Lim and the Mouse" picturing as it loes social and financial life of the jpper class of Americans today is the great American play for which the public have long been waiting. It appeals because of its vivid picturing of these phases of life which are today on everyone's tongue and because of its absolute truth. The cast includes a number of players especially selected by Mr. Harris for the presentation of this great drama.

LOSS RUNST0 MILLIONS Great Damage to Property in Mexican Earthquake. DETAILS STILL MEAGRE. Mexico City, April 19. Six hundred dead and over 3,000 injured is the latest estimate of the tragedy wrought by the earthquakes of the last few days in Mexico. These figures are now considered conservative and it is probable the full extent of the loss of life will never be known, as many of the casualties were among the poorer classes or peasantry where details are meager. It is almost impossible to estimate the amount of property loss, but it wili aggregate many millions. SEAT SALEVERY LARGE Big Audience Will See "The Lion and the Mouse." When the plat opened this morning at the Westcott pharmacy for the sale of seats for ''The Lion and the Mouse," which will appear at the Gennett next Monday night, the demand was quite spirited and indications are for one of the largest audiences of the season.

Chicago, April 19. The supreme court of Illinois administered what is generally considered a death blow to municipal ownership of the street car lines of Chicago. The decision was in the case in which the legality of $75,000,000 worth of Mueller law certificates which Ex-Mayor Dunne wanted issued was challenged, and the court decided against the certificates. In doing so it practically made the law itself in operative. Alfred W. Cooley, just appointed fourth assistant attorney-general is a protege of President Roosevelt.

As the blood becomes richer, the nerves stronger, and the bodily organs more vigorous and regular in action. digestion improves, you sleep and rest better, headaches disappear, and Irritability and discouragement give way to brighter and more hopeful feelings. Most of us have our spells of weakness and tired feelings. Sometimes they pass away, but only to return again, unless active restorative treatment is used, such as Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills. Too often it is neglect to heed these symptoms of nervous exhaustion that allows the nerves to get weaker and weaker, until a little unusual strain brings on prostration, paralysis or insanity. It is better to get back old vigor while you have something to build on. Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills will help you as nothing else can. 50 cents a box, at all dealers, or Dr. A. W. Chase Med. Co.

Mrs McLean's supporters claim that the entire administration ticket will be elected by an overwhelming majority. A Woman Tells How to Relieve Rheumatic Pains.
