the paper in her lap and the pleas
ant breakfast room darkened before
ber. Mr. Ffrench continued speaking
of Dick, unheard.
When the long meal was ended and
ber uncle withdrew to meet Bailey In
the library, Emily escaped outdoors.
There was a quaint summer bouse
part way down the park, an ancient
white pavilion standing beside the
brook that gurgled by on its way to
the Hudson, where the young girl
often passed ber hours. She went
there now, carrying her little work
basket and the newspaper containing
the picture of Lestrange.
"I will save it." was her thought.
"Perhaps I may find better ones this
does not show his face but I will
have this now. It may be a long time
before I see him."
But she sat with the embroidery
scissors la her hand, nevertheless,
without cutting the reprint Lestrange
would return to the factory, she never
doubted, and all would continue as be
fore, except that she must not see
him. He would understand that It was
not possible for anything else to hap
pen, at least for many years. Perhaps,
after Dick was married
The green and gold beauty of the
morning hurt her with the memory
of that other sunny morning, when he
had so easily taken from ber the task
she hated and strove to bear. And he
had succeeded, how he had succeeded!
Who else In the world could have so
transformed Dick? Leaning on the
table, her round chin in her palm as
she gazed down at the paper In her
lap, her fancy slipped back to that
night on the Long Island road, when
she had first seen his serene genius
for setting all things right. How like
him that elimination of Dick, Instead
of a romantic and Impracticable at

A bush crackled stiffly at some one's
passage; a shadow fell across her.
'Caught!" laughed Lestrange's glad.
exultant voice. "Since you look at the
portrait, how shall the original fear
to present himself? See. I can
match." He held out a card burned at
"Dick Will Tell
the corners and streaked with dull
red, "The first time I ssw your writ

Amazed, Emily sat up, and met In
his glowing face all Incarnate Joy of
life and youth.
'Oh!" she gasped plteously.
"You are surprised that I am Lore?
My dear, my dear, after last night did

"The race "
"I know that track too well to neel

"I mean that even your uncle can

"Not to me," she cried, looking up

He drew her toward blm, unresist

from the first, there was no ahyness
between them, but the strange, ex

declared, after a time. "Right to fear
that you were troubled, conscientious

"Yes. for my work would have been
done. Then I fell In love and upset
everything. When I tell Mr. Ffrench
that I want you, I will have to leave
at once."
"Why? You said"
"How brave are you, Emily?" he
asked. "I said your uncle could not

"He does not know you; bow can

"Do you think be likes 'Darling' Le

The sudden keen demand discon

"I hear a little down there," he
added. "I have not been fortunate
with your kinsman. No, It Is for you
to say whether Ethan Ffrench's unjust
caprice Is a bar between us. To me
it Is none."

The Very Best Make.
In the course of an after-dinner
rpeech In praise of woman, Samuel
Untcrniyer, the New York lawyer,
said In Pittsburg:
"A commercial traveler remarked
the other day to a storekeeper:
" 'Make yourself a Christmas pres
ent of a cash register. It will keep
strict end accurate account of all you
receive and all you disburse. It will
show what you save and what you
squander, what In you spend foolish
ly and what you spend wisely, where
you should spread out and where you
should retrench, what you waste and
how you waste It'
" 'But,' said the storekeeper, 'I've
already got a cash register which doei
all that and more.'
"'Whose make Is Itr asked the
salesman, frowning.
"'God's make.' the storekeeper re
plied; and with smile at once rev
erent and gr&tetul be nodded toward

PALACE or VLRaAlUia
ARKED Is the contrast be
tween the turmoil that pre
cedes the election of a pres
ident In the United States
and thocalra that accompanies
:he choice of a president In France. The
difference may be studied now, for on
January 17, 1913, a new head of the
French Republic will be chosen.
The election of a president of the
French Republic causes no commotion
that can be compared with the excite
ment of a presidential election in the
United States. The event arouses in
terest, of course, but the normal life
of the nation Is In no way modified.
Up to the present time a stranger vis
iting France would not suspect from
the newspapers or from public talk
that the election was to be held with
in a few weeks. If he stayed here
long enough and visited certain cen
ters be would hear whispers of plots
rumors for Instance of a great Bona
partlst demonstration to be made on
election day. But beyond such things
he would observe few Blgns that a
presidential campaign was In prog
ress. The excitement of the choice of a
president Is mostly centered on the
day of the election itself. Thus on
the morning of January 17 next crowd
ed trains will carry to Versailles, a
town that teems with souvenirs of
kingly pomp, the officials of the sen
ate and chamber, members of the cab
inet, cumbers of deputies and sena
tors, a regiment of newspaper men
and crowds of spectators which will
be large or small according to the
weather. Some forty Baudot trans
mitters, thirty Hughes Instruments
and about fifty telephones have been
Installed In the old home of royalty
for the occasion. Stately rooms once
the salons of kings and queens re
sound with a thousand imperative
cllcklngs and tappings, and the whole
palace, usually deserted and melan
choly, la full of confusion. No doubt
Versailles was chosen as the place for
electing the republic's presidents to
emphasize the lesson that the new
order baa taken the place of the old
and that the ceremony should be held
In a solemn and fitting setting, far
from popular uproar. At any rate a
law passed In 1879 decrees that the
national assembly shall meet In Ver
sailles In a ball of the palace specially
reserved as the congress hall.
"Vote In Common."
The national assembly Is, according
to the French constitution, "a meet
ing of the chamber of deputies and
the senate to deliberate and vote tn
common." This national assembly can
only meet for two objects, to elect a
president and to revise the constitu
tion. When the presidency of the re
public becomes vacant by death or
resignation or any other cause the two
bouses meet immediately and form an
assembly to elect a new president.
When there Is no vacancy but the
seven years of the Incumbent are
about to expire, as In the present case
with President Fallleres, the national
assembly must meet at least one
month before the expiration of his
term, and if the assembly Is not duly
convoked the two houses must meet.
In their own right, on the fifteenth
day before the president's mandate
expires.
If the chamber of deputies should
happen to be dissolved at the moment
of the death or resignation of the
president the senate must meet, In Its
own right, and the cabinet, which ex
ercises the executive power In the In
terim, must convoke the electoral col
leges to proceed to the election ot a
new chamber of deputies.
As there are 300 senators and al
most 600 deputies, the national as
sembly numbers 897 members. The

Luxurious Restaurant
The life of tbe assembly on the day
of a presidential election only begins
after lunch. The president of tbe sen
ate, the president of the chamber aud
the ministers have many guests, aud
as they are lodged for tbe day in the
palace the ancient borne of kings be
comes a luxurious restaurant, wherein
many a vote la changed by a Judicious
presentation of arguments over a
meal of the highest excellence. Some
days before the election all the re
sources of the national warehouse,
where all the nation's treasures In
furniture are stored, are drawn upon
to fit up apartments for these high
officials who will use them for but a
few hours. To the president of the
assembly is allotted an entire sec
ond story, with bedroom, as if be
was going to stay days Instead of
hours. He has sumptuous reception
rooms at his disposal and a staff of
servants of every kind.
The assembly generally opens at
one o'clock. The public galleries are
then crowded. The president of the
assembly takes his scat In an arm
chair amid cheers from his admirers,
although the presence of an opposi
tion can always be detected. The
secretaries of the senate tuko tholr
places and the president declares
the session open. He reads the ar
ticle of the constitution by which the
assembly Is created and the article
which says that the president of tha
republic shall be elected by an abso
lute majority of the national assem
bly for seven years and that he Is
eligible for re-election. He then
says:
"I declare the national assembly
duty constituted. The vote will take
place at the tribune by calling the
names."
Letters of excuse from members un
able to attend are read and the names
of thirty-eight members to count the
votes are drawn by lot. These pre
liminaries being concluded a letter Is
drawn by lot to designate the Initial
at which the order of voting shall
commence.
Fast Work a Necessity.
The fastest shorthand writing ever
done, so It Is said, was sccompllshed
by Nathan Hehrln, a New York court
reporter, at a recent contest held by
the National Shorthand Reporters' as

CHARLES S. WHITMAN WARMLY PRAISED
Warmest praise from the bench,
bar and forum have recently been
showered upon Charles S Whitman,
district attorney of New York city,
as a tribute to his victory over the
alliance of police power nnd gambling
In the conviction of Charles Decker.
'The moBt notable victory of law
and order In our generation In New
York," were the words of a telegram
to Mr. Whitman from a famous Amer
ican author, and they were the key
note of the great heap of telegrams
of congratulation which kept his dusk
covered for several days.
They were echoed In the words of
the thousand others -physicians.
clergymen, merchants, bunkers and
professional men, some who knew
him only by sight, who rushed up to
grip his hand and tell lilm how they
valued what he had done to stump
graft into the earth and ring the
doom of lawlessness and band vio
lence. Some of them told him that
they had prayed fur him and righteousness In his glorious undertaking
Their pious thanksgiving was one extreme of the reult of ll.cker's
conviction which spread through tho wholo city, tt.urhlng evsry walk of life.
In the haunts of crime the effect was most notable. In tho prisons th
criminals were struck with terror. Tho cheers they had prepared to greet
llecker's acquittal turned to thn frightened chatter of tho thugs In the Tomb,
some of them awaiting a similar fate for playing the purt of tool In the
murder plot which flecker conceived and directed.
The thugs knew best of all perhaps how great were thn diincultlr that
Mr. Whitman faced and overcame almost single-handed In his hattln to re
deem New York from the stigma cast upon her throughout th world by the
marvellous story of tho murder of Rosenthal as from day to 1y it grew and
stretched Into high and low places. There was not a tear In It. irtit no story
of crime has ever held so long thn place it hold In the newsapper. which rv
