Some time I can give it to you. I ask you to trust me until that time.” “We have been friends, Doane. ture convened you came often from see me, a distance of seventy miles.

I could trust you with anything in the world that I could in honor share with you. But I can not tell you this.” “You need not.” Katherine's voice had become suspiciously gracious. “Your affairs are no concern of mine. .»'/ You and I enjoyed for a time a pleas- ant friendship. You have ended fit. Will you please leave me? I do not care to walk with a stranger.” Carter’s perplexed, angry eyes met her calm ones. Then he lifted his hat and walked rapidly away. For several weeks the general as- sembly had been deadlocked over the election of a United States senator. There were ninety-three Republican members and elghtyeight Demo- cratic ones. The Republicans had nominated Sherrill Vane. The Demo- cratic candidate was James Brown. As the Republicans had a majority of five it was expected that their candi- date would be elected on the first ballot. But whemn the Republicans met in caucus and chose their candl. date, five of the younger members of the party rebelled, refused to support Sherrill Vane and demanded the election of George Allerton. Allerton had never been affiliated with either party. He was the lead- ing lawyer of the state, a man of in- corruptible honor and national fame. 1 The five Insurgents openly declared | | their hostility to Sherrill Vane, the Republican candidate, and announced | that the deadlock would remain until George Allerton was elected. The leader of the insurgents was Doane Carter. Around the insurgent band raged the political battle. The Republican party used every weapon and every | strategy at their command to compel the five to support the party candi- date. The Democrats fought as fierce- ly to win them for the Democratic candidate. Day after day for many weeks the ballot remained the same: | Sherrill Vane, §8; James Brown, 8§; George Allerton, 5. | One morning Katherine Vane sat | in the gallery of the house of repre- | sentatives. The balloting began. | Amidst the wildest bedlam the old hall had ever held, George Allerton re- celved the vote of the entire Demo- If they are ull]crauc faction and of the insurgent band and was declared the successful 'cnndldate for the cenate. f Katherine pushed her way through the crowd toward the elevator. A bhand touched her arm. Doane Car- ter, the leader of the insurgent band, almost as great a hero in that hour as the man whose election he had secured, stood beside her.

He spoke hurriedly as if ia' bhaste to dispose of an unpleasan!i topic. “Your uncle, | | it was known, | was using every means to secure | those five votes. The Democratic | candidate was also doing his best to get them. Both men are grafters | and bribers. We five stood out to ! elect a good man. I was made chair-| man of our band. Every act of mine was watched by the spies of each side.

My connection with his | family would have made my men sus- piclous of my gincerity and they might have heen won by one or the ' , other faetion. “There was more at stake than a little glory for ourselves, We were | fighting to compel the assembly to| lelect a great man lustead of a bood- | ler, Last night the Democratic lead- | ers agreed, since they could not elect their candidate, to share with us the ' honor of clecting Allerton. | “Now you understand my reason. i When I refused to tell you and you refused to trust me, the candidates had not been nominated, and our plans to refuse to support Vane, {f he should be nominated, were still se- I'cret. T could not in honor tell you the plans of my associates.” “I understard, Doane, and I am sorry—I can't tell you how sorry I am—how much I regret my unkind- | ness.

[ do not ‘ask you to love me. What sort of | wife would you be? A woman who | would have no confidence in her hus- | band, who would not believe his word | of honor unless it was supported by | afidavits.” He opened the door to allow her to pass out. *“Good morn- ing,” he said curtly. In the rotunda she met her uncle, | the defeated candidate. For the first ' time in her life he spoke to her.

I've loved you all the time, Kate, dear, but my pride bad been awfully hurt by your lack of confidence in me."” “Lack of confidence?

Aren't you sure now that I trust you and—and love you?” PLAYED FOR HEAVIER TIPS Neapolitan Waiter Had Shrewd Scheme to Coax More Money From Generous Tourists. “I was in Naples when old¢ Vesuvius broke loose the last time,” sald an American tourist, “and the waiter at the table at my hotel was certalnly pleased at the size of the tips I hand- ed him dally. He could speak pretty falr English, and for three or four days he gave me all the information he could. One day, however, when I handed him the usual coin he looked at It in & way to make me see that he was dissatisfied. “‘Anything wrong, Josa? I asked. “‘Hasn't the service been good? he queried in turn. “<All that I could have hoped for.’ “‘But I had looked for a little in- crease in the signor’s generosity.’ “*‘Why, because the flow of lava hag increased? | “*No; because 1 had a brother in a vilage six miles away. “‘Well? “‘And the lava it overtakes h'm and | his wife and five children and they go | | up what you call the spout, and I am | i put.to expense to buy mourning for | | them.’ “The point seemed to be well taken,” | said the tourist, “and I doubled the tip, but later on, as I found all the | other waiters playing the same game, | | wasted no more tears on the family that went up the spout and came down well roasted.” CR2RVID Job Printing 1S newspaper and publishing business, enlargement of our it has been necessary to move The News Job Office up-stairs where it will be found in Rooms 11 aund 12, Kentucky Building, in the com- For anything that can be printed, if you want petent charge of Mr. G.
