What though Hi years w' diwty. be had.bls friend and bis memories and bla old black hrlvr pip. He bad a girl's picture that be should carry In bla heart till bla hint day, and If bla llfo wa sadder It waa Infinitely richer for It. Ill winter fireside would be not so lonely for her take, and; Wing tier, bo lust not everything, for be bad bad the rare blessing of bvlng known ber. And what man could wish to be healed of such a hurt? Far better to have bad It than to trot a smug pace unscathed. Ho bad been a dullard, a sluggard, weary of himself, unfit to fight, a fail ure In life end a failure In love. That waa ended. He was tired of fulling, a'ud It was time to succeed for awblle. To accept the worst that fate can deal and to wring courage from It Instead of despair-that Is success, and It waa the success that be would have. He would take fate by the neck. But bad It done blm unklndnesaT lie looked out over the beautiful, "monotonous" landscape, and be answered heartily, "Nor There was Ignorance In man, bat no unkind uess.

The big red barns stood stored with the harvest, for this waa Carlow coun ty, and be waa coming borne. - They crossed a byroad.

He's going to town. He Uvea on tbe edga of tbe county.". "Can this be true?" said Meredith gravely. "I wonder." aald Harklesa thought fully a few moments later "I wonder why be bad tbeua changed around." "Who changed around?" "The team. He always used to drive the bay on tbe near aide and the sor rel on the off." "And at present," rejoined Meredith, "I am to understand that he Is driving the sorrel on tbe near aide and tbe bay on tbe off?" . "That'a It," returned the other. "He must have worked them like that for some time, because they didn't look uneasy. They're all right about the train, those two. I've see them stand with tbelr boada almost against a fast freight. See there." He pointed to a white frame farmhouse with green blinds. "That's Win Hlbbard'a. We're Just outside of Beaver." ' "Beaver? Elucidate Beaver, boy."

Meredith bad olmerved the change In his companion's mood. He bad watched htm closely all day, looking for a ro isrs of bla malady, but be came to the conclusion that In truth a miracle bad begn wrought, for the lethargy waa gorio and vigor seemed to Increase In Harklesa with every turn of the wheels that brought them nearer I'lattvllle, and tbe nearer they drew to I'lattvllle the higher tbe spirits of both the young men rose. Meredith knew what was bappeulog there, and be began to be a little excited. As be bad anld, there wire five people visible at Beaver, and be wondered wfcere they lived, as the only building In slsdU waa the station, ind to satisfy bla curiosity be walked ?t W?' vwtlb"J- The, jlttle jUtloa ttoouln tHe woods; and brown leaves whirled along the platform Onejf the; Ave people was an old lady) and she. en tered a rear car. Tbe other four were men. One of them handed, the con ductor a telegram. Meredith heard tbe official say: "All right. Decorate ahead. I'll bold it Ave minutes." Tbe man sprang up the steps of the smoker and looked in. He turned to Meredith. "Do you know If that gen tleman In tbe gray coat Is Mr. Hark less? He's got his back tbla way. and I doa't want to go inside. Tbe air in a smoker always gives me a spell." "Yea, that's Mr. Harklesa." ' The man Jumped to the platform. "All right, boys," be said. "Rip ber out.1" The doors of tbe freight room were thrown open, snd a big bundle of col ored stuffs was dragged out and hastily unfolded. One of the men ran to tbe farther end of the car with a strip of red, white and blue bunting ami tack ed It securely, while another fastened tbe other extremity to tbe railing of tbe atepe by Meredith. The two com panions of this pair performed tbe same operation with another atrip on the other aide of the car. They ran similar lines of bunting near the roof from end to end. so that except for tbe windows the sides of the csr were completely covered by tbe national col ors. Then tliey draped the vestibules with flags. It waa all done in a trice,. Meredith's heart was beating fast. "Wbafa it all about?" he asked. "Picnic down the line," answered the man in charge, removing a tack from bla mouth. He motioned to tbe con ductor, "Go a bead T The wheels began to move; the dec orators remained on the station plat form, letting the train pasa them, but Meredith, craning bis neck from the steps, saw that they Jumped on the last car. "What's the celebration T asked Harkless when Meredith returned. "Picnic down the line," said Mere dith. "Nipping weather for a picnic. A bit cool, don't yon think? One of those fel lows looked like a friend of mine. Homer Tlbba, or aa Homer might look if be were in disgrace. He had bla hat hung on bla eyes,' and he slouched like a thief In melodrama aa be tacked np tbe bunting on this aide of tbe car." He continued to point out - various familiar places, finally breaking out. enthusiastically aa tbey drew nearer the town: "Hello! Look tbere-beyond the grove yonderl See that bouse?" ';Yes, John." "Tbaf a the Bowldera. " You've got to know tho Bowlders." "I'd like to." "The kindest people in the world. The Briscoe house we can't aee because It's so shut in by trees, and, besides. It's a mile or so ahead of "us. We'll go out there for supper tonight Don't you like Briscoe? He's the best they make. We'll go uptown with Judd Bennett In the omnibha, and you'll know how a rapid Are machine gun sounda. I want to go straight to the Herald office," he Anlshed, with a suddenly darkening brow. ' .rim'im'r "After all, there may be some ex planation," Meredith suggested with a little hesitancy. "H. Flsbee .might turn out more bonest than you think.'' Harkless; tjirew bla bead back and laughed. "'Honest! A man in the pay of Rodney McCune! Well, we can: let It wait till we get there. Listen! There's the whistle that meana we're getting near home. Why, there's an oil well!" ' "So It la." "And another three, Ave, aeven seven In sight at once! They tried it three miles south and failed, but you can't fool Eph Watts, bless him! I want you to know Watts." They ran by the outlying bouses of tbe town amid a, thousand descriptive exclamations from Harklesa, who wish ed Meredith to meet every one in Car low. Rut he came to a pause in the .middle of a word. "Do you hear mu sic," he asked abruptly, "or la It only the rhythm of the ties?" ' "It seems to me there's music In the air," answered bis companion. "I've been fancying I heard it for a minute or so. There! No-yes. It's a band, Isn't itr "No. What would a band-yes, it is!".,.. The train slowed up and stopped at a water.tank 200 yards east of the sta tion, and their uncertainty was at an end. From aomewhero down the track came the detonating boom of a cannon. There was a clash of brass, and the travelers became sure of a band play ing "Marching Through Georgia." Meredith laid bla hand on his com panion's Shoulder. "John," he said, "John!" I Tha cannon fired aguln, and there came a cueer rrom 8.000 throata, the anouRfi all unseen. 1 ne cifiiw ms, ed and panted, the train rolled on. and In another moment it bad stopped alongside the station in the midst of a riotous Jam of happy people who were waving flags and banners and handker chief and tossing their hats high in the air and shouting themselves hoarse. The. band played In dumb show. It could not hesr Itself play. The people came at the. smoker like a long wave, and Warren Smith, Briscoe. Keating and Mr. lience of Gaines were swept ahead of it. Before the train stopped tbey bad rushed eagerly up the steps and entered the car. Harklesa was on bla feet and started to meet them. He stopped. "What does It mean?" he aald and be gan to grow pale. "Is Ilalloway did McCune bave you" Warren Smith seized one of bis hands and Brhtcoa the other. "What goes it mean!" cried Warren. "It meana that you were nominated for congress at Ave minutes after 1 o'clock 2iis afternoon!" "On tbe second, ballot," shouted th judge,' "Just as young Flsbee planned It weeks ago." It was one of tbe great crowds of Carlow'a. blstprj. Since noon an al most nnlnlermittent procession of pe destrians and vehicles bad been making Its way to the station, and every wag on, buckboard, buggy and "cut under" had its flags or bunting or streamer of ribbons tied to the whip. The excite ment increased as tbe time grew short r. Everybody was struggling -for a better position. The people In wagons and carriages stood upon the seats, and the pedestrians besieged them, climbing on the wheels or balancing recklessly With feet on tbe buba of opposite wag ons. Everybody was bound to see blm. When tbe whistle announced tbe com ing of the train the band began to play, the cannon Ared, horns blew and the cheering echoed and re-echoed till beat en's vault resounded with the noise tbe people of Carlow were making. There was one heart that almost atopped beating. Helen waa standing on the front seat of the Briscoe buck board, with Minnie beside ber, and at the commotion the horses pranced and backed so that Llge Wllletts ran to bold them. But Helen did not notice the frightened roans, nor did she know that Minnie clutched her round tbe wahit to keep ber from falling. Her eyes were fixed intently on the smoke of the faraway engine,- and her band, lifted to ber face In an uncertain, tremulous fashion, aa it waa one day in a circus tent, waa laid against the deepest blush that ever mantled a girl's cheek. When the train reached tbe platform she aaw Briscoe and tbe oth era rush into the bunting covered car, and there ensued what was to ber an almost Intolerable pause of expecta tion while the crowd assaulted the win dows of the smoker, leaping up and climbing on each other'a shoulders to catch the first glimpse of him, Briscoe and a red faced young man (a stranger to riattvllle) came down the steps, laughing like boys, and then Keating and Bence, and then Warren Smith. Aa the lawyer reached the platform he turned toward the door of the car and waved his hand aa in welcome "Here be is, boys!" be shouted. At that it waa aa if all the noise that had gone before bad been mere leak age of pent up enthusiasm A thousand horns blared deafenlngly; the whistle of the locomotive and that of Hlb bard'a mill were added to tbe din; the courthouse bell waa pealing ont a wel come, and the church bells were ring ing; tbe cannon thundered, and then cheer on cheer shook the air aa John Harkless came, out under the flags and passed down tbe steps of the car. When Helen saw blm over the heads of the people and through heaving tu mult of flags and bats and handker chiefs she suddenly gave a frightened glance about her and jumped down from ber high perch and sank into tbe back seat of the buckboard, with ber burning face turned from the station and her eyes fixed on the ground. She wantedto run away, aa she bad run from him the first time she ever saw him, and then, as now, be came in tri unipb, balled by the plaudits of iris fel- "t means that wu -u-cre nominated or lows, and now, as on that long depart ed day of her young girlhood, he was borne high over the heads of the peo ple, for Minnie cried to her to look they were carrying him on their shoul dera to bis carriage. She bud bad .only that " brief glimpse of blm before he was lost In the crowd that was so glad to get him back agaln'and so proud of him; but she had seen that be looked very white and solemn, i Briscoe . brought -Tom Meredith through the crowd and' put Him In tne' buckboard beside Helen. "All right, I.lge!" called tbe Judge to Wllletts, who . was at the horses' heads. "You go" get into line with the boys; they want you. , We'll go down on Slain street to see the parade." be explained, gathering tbe reins in bis band. "Did you tell blm about Mr. Hallo way?" asked Helen, leaning forward anxiously. : "Warren told him before we. left the car," answered Briscoe "He'd have declfned on the spot, I expect, if we badu't made blm sure It was all right With Kedge." "It I tlnderstood what Mr. Smith wna laying, Ilalloway must have behaved very well." said MeredlthT The Judge laughed. "He saw it waa tbe only wsy to best McCune, and he'd bave given his life and Harklesa', too, rather than let McCune bave It." "Why did you leave Mr. Harkless?" Helen asked her cousin, ber eyea not meeting bis. "My dear girl." be replied, "because, for some inexplicable reason, my lady , cousin bas not nominated me for con gress", and, oddly' enough, tbe undls erimlnatlng multitude were not cheer ing for roe; the artllle7 was not In tlon to celebrate me; the band was no! playing to do me honor. Why should I ride in the midst of a procession thai knows me not? Why should I en throne me In an open barouche, wlti four white horses to draw it and draped with ailken flags? Since these thing! were not for me, I flew to your side tc dissemble my spleen under tbe licensed prattle of a coiwln." "Then who Is with himr "The population of tbla portion of In diana, I take it." "Oh, it's all right." said tbe Judge, leaning back to speak to Helen. "Keat ing and Smith and your father are to ride in tbe carriage with blm. You needn't be afraid of any of them letting blm know that II. Fishee is a lady. Everybody understands about that Of course they know It's to be left to you to break it to blm bow a girl bas run bla paper." The old gentleman chuckled and look ed out of the corner of bis eye at hii daughter, whose expression was In scrutable. . "I!" cried Helen, "I toll hlml No one must tell him. He need never know it" " Briscoe retched back and patted ber cheek. "How long do you suppose be will be here In Plattvllle without Its leaking out?" , " . "But when they kept watch over htm for months nobody told blm." ' "Ah.", said Bris&e, "but thia la dlf ferent" . "No, no, nor, she exclaimed. "II must be kept from blm somehow." , "He'll know it by tomorrow? so you better tell blra this evening." "This evening?" y "Yea; you'll bave good chance."
