From what the CuuniT learns renam ing Mr. HolliHli-r, ho is a man who, if initiated, will give our stund put rt j reaentalive a run for hiu life, and that ii the only calibre of a man there any use in nominating -as we have al- raady learned by experience. Mr. Holllster stands uce Iiil'Ii In trie Coos Hay Country, is a lawyer of high repute and ia a moat aucceasrul uuainena ninn lie is a Droit etwive fiom tlie ground up; a"nmn who believes Oregon a bound to be the leading Fiicilia slate if il can only be given a chance to tk- v.'lop and he is an out mid out ndocaie for the two undertakings he thinks he will hasten the development-goi.d roads for the entire district and for harbor and waterways improvements. Mr. liolliater is not a politician. He has never been a candidate or elected to any office but city councilman Ha haa been a worker and a thinker. Ilia many admirers have urged him to run, and he is a candidate. If the Democrats will nominate hiir. in the May primaries, there is every reason to th'nk he can defeat Mr. Hawley, our present "dead one" congressman, for there are hundreds of Republicans right hem in Clackamas county who will votu for any man who looks gend and rings true, in preference to Mr. llHwlev-the comrrermian elected from nroirressive Oreiron but whose work is i . . for aland pat New England.

Godfrey said, "we might as well he getting back. I can send the boat down again after tho other tsiys." and he turned down the stair. Godfrey bade me goodliy at the dork and hastened awav to the olllce to write hia atory. As for me. that whiff of salt air had put an unaccustomed edge to my appetite, and I took a cab to a good restaurant, deciding to spena tho remainder of the evening there, over a good dinner. I ambled through the dinner In a fashion ho leisurely and trifled so long over coffee and cigarette that It was far past 10 o'clock when I came out Into Forty-second street. After an In stant's limitation I derided to walk home and turned back toward Iiroad wny, already filling with the after the ater crowd. Reaching Madison sipinre. I walked out under the trees, as I almost al ways do. to have a look at the Flatlron building, white against the sky. Then I glanced up at the Me'.roHltnn tower, higher but fur less romantic In appear ance, and saw by the big Illuminated clock that It was nearly half past 11. I crossed back over Broadway at last and turned down Twenty-third street In tho direction of the Mara thon, when. Just at the corner I enme face to face with three men ns they swung around the corner In the same direction, and. with a little stnrt, I rec ognized Grady and Klnininnda, with M. I'lgot between them. Evidently Gra dy had been Introducing the Htrange-r to a nil in her of typical American drlnks-nnd the result of all this was that Grady's lega wobbled perceptibly. A a matter of racial comparison, I glanced at M. Plgot's, but they seeimxl In every way normal. "Hello, Lester," said Stmmonds In a voire which showed that ho had not wholly escaped the Influences) of the evening's celebration, and even Grady condescended to nod, from which I In ferred that he was feeling very unusu ally happy. "Hello Slmmonda." I answered, and. as I turned westward with them, he dropped back and fell Into step be side me. "Plggott Is certainly a wonder," he said. "A regular sport wanted to see everything and taste everything. He says Paris ain't In the same class with this town." 'Vlun lire von frolliur now?" I Baked. "We'ro going round to tho station Plcxott snvs he's got a sensation up his sleeve for us it's got something to do with that cabinet." "With tho cabinet?" "Yes; that shiny thing Godfrey got tne to lock un In a cell. ' "Simmonds." I said seriously, "does tlodfrev know about this?" "No." said Simmonds. looking a little uncomfortable. "I told Grady we ought to phone him "to come up, hut the chief got mad and told me to mind my own business. Godfrey's been after til in. you know, for a long time." "Suppose I phone blm," I suggested. There'd be no objection to that. i would there?" "I won't object." said Slinnionds, "and 1 don't know who else will, since nobody else will know about It. Good night." and lie followed his compan ions Into the station. CHAPTER XV. Th Secrtt of th Cabinet.

"Lester of Itov.e & Lester- nud you might tell your city editor that God frey Is a close friend of mine." The city editor seemed to under stand, for I was switched on to htm moment later. Hut he was scarcely more satisfactory.
