FRESH APALCHICOLA OVSTERS H. O. DENNY Phone I3 | | THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., CANDLESS’ CANDIDACY By HENRY BERLINGHOFF. “Then you may get the senator- ship?” asked Marion. Candless gave a little laugh. “It ought to be better than that,” he declared. “This investigation will attract attention all over the country. It might even be good for thd gover- norship.” “But you won't get the senatorship this election, will you?" persisted the girl. Candless shook his head. “We are only fairly getting under way,” he explained patiently. “I sus- pect the committee will sit after Christmas.” “But I thought you were the whole investigation,” she persisted. ‘“What has the committee to do? Can't you hurry it up?' “I am only one of a committee of five,” he said. "I am doing most of the work, but these things cannot be hurried.” “You know now that they all stole,” she persisted. “But the facts must be legally set forth. We cannot rush it through.” “I wish you could,” she whispered. “Then we could be married at once.” “I know it, dear,” he answered ten- derly. “I would give anything to hur- ry it up, but we must wait."” Harrington, strolling across the ball- room floor, heard and smiled as he asked Candless for a ten-minute chat. The younger man went off, proud to be seen in conference with the man who really ruled the destinies of his party. Three months before Candless would have shouted at the suggestion that he might be sent to the senate from his state. He was merely a young attorney whose cleverness had gained for him a place in the state legislature. Then had come the water front investigation. He had been placed on the committee because the leaders supposed him to be “safe” To the surprise of everyone he had developed an ingenuity at cross-exami- nation which had dragged out, bit by bit, the whole miserable story of the steal of the water front by the Cadiz and Southwestern. It had been no part of the leaders’ intentions that the story should come out, but it wa# too late now to call off the investigation. The public had been aroused. To Candless it had seemed as if he were very near his goal, for he was to make Marfon his wife when he had made his way. Surely his future was assured. If only the investigation had ended in time to run for the senator- ship! He wondered as he followed Har- rington into the conservatory whether it were too late. An hour later, with sparkling eyes, he emerged from the conference and sought the girl. “Is it good news, Hugh?" she asked as he led her toward the library. “It couldn’t be better,” he cried ex- ultingly. “I'll give you three guesses.” They were inside the library now and the girl faced him. “Is it the sen- atorship?” she half whispered. Candless nodded as he seized her about the waist and waltze? her across the floor to the library sofa. He was like a boy in his exuberance. “Tell me all about it,” she demand- ed as she curled herself upon the sofa. “Was that what Mr. Harring- ton wanted of you?" “Nothing less,” exulted Candless. “It has been decided that I am the most available candidate. They will run me for the state senate with the assurance that I shall be sent on to Washington.” “You'll be awfully busy with the campaign and the investigation,” she lamented. “I'm. afraid T will not see anything of you at all.” “Harrington has fixed all that,” he explained. “They realize that I can- not handle both, so Varrick will take the inves aition. 1 wanted to keep on, but Harrington pointed out that T could not do both and that this was too good a chance at the senate to be ‘And " over lost.” are going to give investigation?” she gasped. “Give up all that has been gained?” “Varrick can carry it on,” he sald impatiently, “We have to make some sacrifices.” “And you are going to give up the fight before you have fairly begun?” she repeated. “You are going to turn you | your back on the investigation and let that fall through that you may go to Washington?” “I told you Varrick would take my place,” he sald irritably. Marion turn- ed and faced him. “Hugh,” she said simply, “do you really think that Mr. Varrick will take your place?” “Why not?" he asked. This was so different from what he had anticl- pated. “I heard Mr. Colghoon talking to father last night,” she explained. “He sald that the investigation was a com- plete surprise to both parties; that they had supposed there would be the usual whitewashing, and thac you had made it a real investigation.” “What of it?” demanded Candless. “He said,” went on Marion, “that he wondered how they would bribe you off; that he did not think money could do it. I was proud of you, then, Hugh.” “Why not “Is it any disgrace to be congress?” “It is a disgrace when you turn your back on the people who look to you to right an evil—when you sell your honor for the nomination.” “But 1 am not selling my honor,” now?” he asked crossly elected to 'he insisted. “I am simply obeying up the’ MARCH 2, 1914. jmy party’s call. ! am doing, as I am | told, for the best good of the party.” “You mean in running for congress, but the good of the party means dropping the investigation.” “Varrick will carry it on,” he per- sisted. “Not the way you would. Father said that if you kept on, Harrington himself would land in jail. Hugh, don’t you see that they are bribing you, just as surely as though they put money in your hand?” The girl watched him curiously as he sprang to his feet and began to pace the floor. For a quarter of an b hour nothing was said, then he turned to her abruptly. “Marion,” he said gently, “you are right. In my joy at attaining so soon what I have so eagerly longed for I have blinded myself to the real mean- | ing of Harrington's offer. [ see now that he wanted to get me out of the way. 1 wiill go and tell him I will not run.” He tenderly bent and kissed her, then rose to his feet and left the room, while the girl buried her head in the pillows. Harrington stormed and threatened, but Candless would not be moved, and in the end word passed through the rooms that the announcement that Candless would abandon the investiga- tion was premature. Late that evening, after the guests had gone. Candless lingered in the library for a good night chat. “I'm sorry you are disappointed, Hugh,” whispered Marion, “but we can wait, dear, until your honor comes without the taint of suspicion.” “Yes, he said quietly, “even though it may be a long wait, I will keep my { hands clean.” “Hugh,"” said Major Sharpless, en- tering through the curtains, “I don't think you need to wait, my boy. You have your triumph in being willing to forego preferment for your duty. That is a far greater triumph than the winning of the senatorship. You may have Marion whenever you want her.” Hugh turned to the girl. her now,"” he said quietly, strength lies in her.” (Copyright, 1914, the “I want “for my by MeClure News- papery \\mln ate.) NEW LIGHT ON SCRIPTURES Russian Writers Satisfied That Theyl Have Found Proper Solutions to Biblical Parables. Some years ago a Russian wrote a fantastic (but none the less interest- ing on that account) book in which he set forth that the intervening years between the boyhood of Jesus and his appearance at the age of thirty years were chiefly spent in India, and that it was there that he obtained a knowl- edge of which he his ministry. Another Russian, Nich- olas Morosow, a biblical critic, recent- ly published a bhook on the revelation made good use in of St. John, the sale of which has been interdicted by the Russian church. Morosow claims to have dis- covered all the mysteries in the Apocalypse. He avers that all the signs of the zodiac are discoverable in the book of Revelation; that the four cherubim are the four constella- tions; the twelve gated celestial city fs the firmament. This author claims to have discovered the actual day in which the Christian prophet wrote Revelation; that the writer thereof was not the apostolic St. .John, the beloved of Jesus, but St. John Chrys- ostom, “the golden-mouthed” patriarch of Constantinople and that the year of the writing was ! A. D. In this Rus- sian's argnment it is set out that the representation of the heavens in the Apocalypse corresponds exactly to what it appeared from the Isle of Pat mos on the evening of September 30, I \. D, and the like appearance has never since been witnessed on | this island Hunting the Hippopotamus. | As hippopotamus hunters the Shul las of the Sobat region, North Africa stand alone A native hippo hunt is an exciting and dangerous sport. The hunters are in dugout canoes; two or three paddle while one manages { the harpoon or barbed spear, to which is attached a stout rope and a float of ambateh When the hippo comes to the surface to breath, an attempt is made to steal upon him with the harpoon; when this is accomplished the hunters make a hasty retreat from the enraged beast, and in turn engage his attention while attempts are made in the other wounded a to spear him by those canoes. When severely hippopotamus goes ashore to rest or to die, and not to attack his ail- ants, as has been so often reported. The native hunters wait for this and when the animal goes up out of the water a volley of spears is thrown into it, and slowly the huge beast bleeds to death. The hunters do not always escape. Sometimes the life or a limb of one of them is sacrificed to their daring. The hide of the hip- popotamus is cut into strips and dried to be sold to Arab traders who, in turn, sell it to the whipmakers of Omdurman and Egypt. Certain por- tions of the hide are much prized as shields. The flesh is cut into long, narrow strips and dried in the sun; its taste resembles that of coarse beef.—Southern Workman Not the Boss.
