Yes, as one l-ave a gay acquaintance
of tho playhouse lobby for tome hard
bamlcHl. tried old friend, to ho would
wave tho outer world godspeed and
come back to the old ways of Carlow.
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

out over the beautiful, "monotonous"
landscape, and be answered heartily,

all. -
The unfolding aisles of corn swam
pleasantly before bla eyesv The earth
hearkened to man's wants and answer

hastened the fruition. Yonder stood
tbe brown haystack, garnered to feed
the Industrious bono that bad earned
bis meed. There was the straw thatch

chard boughs bent with tbelr burdens!
The big red barns stood stored with
the harvest, for this waa Carlow coun

They crossed a byroad. An old man
with streaky gray chin beard waa
alttlng on a sack of oats In a Matless
wagon waiting for the train to pass.
Uarkleas seised bis companion excited
ly by thai eltxfw. "Tommy," be cried.

"I saw a particularly uninterested
and uninteresting gentleman alttlng on
a bag," replied bla friend.
"Why, that'a old Kimball Fentrlss.
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."

Tom put bis bead out of the window.
"I fan(7 you are right." be said. "I
already see Ave people there."
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,

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

. "No, no, nor, she exclaimed. "II

"He'll know it by tomorrow? so you
