New York. The crest of the repub
lican election wave, both presidential
and congressional, continues to rise
as belated returns filter In.
Among the democratic casualties
were defeats of Champ Clark of Mis
souri, ex-speaker and present dem
ocratic leader In the house; election
of a republican representative from
Texas; re-election of a republican
senator from Missouri and a sudden
Jump of Senator Harding Into the
lead In Oklahoma. Another border
state, Tennessee, hung by a narrow
margin, but with democrats leading.
A republican senate majority of
about 10, as compared with but two
at present and a house majority of
around 100 as against 40 odd, were
other forecasts of the overwhelming
majorities.
With about eight states still in the
doubtful list in presidential-senatorial
contests, the huge majorities assured
Senator Harding of at least 346
electoral votes, with Governor Cox
certain of 127 and all from the "solid
south," including Kentucky.
The republicans added Idaho, Mary
land and South Dakota to their string,
on the face of the largo majorities,
and of the remaining states the re
publicans were reported lending in
Oklahoma, Arizona, Missouri, Montana,
Nevada and North Dakota.
Republican margin In Tennessee Is
reported.
Among republican senators elected
in hard contests were l.enroot of Wis

by Senator La Follette; Spencer of
Missouri, who defeated Hreckenrldge
Long, ex-assistant secretary of state,
and Jones of Washington, senate com

Among hla messages was a brief one

Another presidential candidate, Par

elimination of the democratic party.
He predicted a rout of the republicans
by his organization in 1924.
With majorities piling up in what
democratic leaders said was a "solemn

WASHINGTON'S VOTE
FOR HARDING HIGH
Seattle, Wash. That republican can
didates had won "hands down" in King
county and the state of Washington
partially complete returns Thursday
proved conclusively.
The soldiers' bonus bill was passed
by an unmistakable majority. The
Carlyon $30,000,000 road bond measure
was beaten.
Latest figures indicated that Sena
tor Harding's plurality will be nearly
125,000 over Chrlstensen, who is run

votes than Chrlstensen and Cox com
bined. Governor Hart's plurality over
llrklges and Black likely will be 10,

running second, by more than 50,000,
according to present indications.
Senator Jones was reported to have
swept the state with a big plurality,
running ahead of the ticket in some
counties.
All five republican congressmen ap
parently had been returned to office

CHAPTER I.
The Night of the Beacons.
It is strunge to me, Jack Calder of
West Inch, to feel that though now,
In the very center of the nineteenth
century, 1 am but flve-and-jlfty years
of age, and though it is only once a
week, perhaps, that my wife can
pluck out a little gray bristle from
over my ear, yet I have lived In a time
when the thoughts and the ways of
men were as different as though it
were another planet from this. For
when I walk in my fields I can see,
down Berwick way, the little fluffs of
white smoke which tell me of this
strange, new, hundred-legged beast
with coals for food and a thousand
men In Its belly, forever crawling over
the border. On a shiny day I can see
the glint of the brass work as it takes
the curve near Corriemuir. And then,
as I look out to sea, there Is the same
beast again, or a dozen of them, may
be, leaving a trail of black In the air
and of white in the water, and swim
ming In the face of the wind as eas
ily as a salmon up the Tweed. Such
a sight as that would have struck my
good old father speechless with wrath
as well as surprise, for he was so
stricken 'with the fear of offending the
Creator that he was chary of contra
dicting Nature, and always held the
new thing to be nearly akin to the
blasphemous. As long as God made
the horse, and a man, down Birming
ham way, the engine, my good old dad
would have stuck by the saddle and
the spurs.
When he died we had been fighting
with scarce a break, save for two short
years, for very nearly a quarter of a
century. Bnbies who were born In the
war grew to he bearded men with ba
bies of their own, and still the war
continued. Those who had served and
fought In their stalwart prime grew
stiff and bent, and yet the ships and
the armies were struggling. During
that long time we fought the Dutch,
we fought the Danes, we fought the
Spanish, we fought the Turks, we
fought the Americans, we fought the
Montevldeans, until it seemed that in
this universal struggle no race was
too near of kin or too far away to be
drawn into the quarrel. But most of
all it was the Trench whom we fought,
and the man whom of til others we
loathed and feared and admired was
the great captain who ruled them.
It was very well to draw pictures of
him, and sing songs about him, and
make as though he were an Impostor,
but I can tell you that the fear of that
man hung like a black shadow over
all Europe, and that there was a time
when the glint ot,a fire at night upon
the coast would set every woman
upon her knees and every man grip
ping for his musket. He had always
won. That was the terror of it. The
fates seemed to be behind him. And
now we know that he lay upon the
northern const with a hundred and
fifty thousand veterans, and the boats
for their passage. Rut It Is an old
story how a third of the grown folk
of our country took up arms, and how
our little one-eyed, one-armed man
crushed their fleet. There was still
to be a land of free thinking and free
speaking In Europe.
There was a great beacon ready on
the hill by Tweedmouth, built up of
logs and tsr barrels, ind I can well
remember how night after night 1
strained my eyes to see If It were
abiaie. I was only eight at the time,
but It Is an age when one takes a
grief to heart, and I felt as though
the fate of the country hung In some
fashion upon me and my vigilance.
And then one night as I looked I sud
denly saw a little flicker on the Bea
tXXIXJ
con hill a single red tongue of flame
In the darkness. And then the flame
shot higher, and I saw the red, quiv
ering line upon the water beyond, and
I dashed Into the kitchen, screeching
to my father that the French had
crossed and the Tweedmouth light was
aflame. I can Bee him now as he
knocked his pipe out at the side of the
Are, and looked at me from over the
top of his horn spectacles.
"Are you sure, Jock?" says he.
"Sure as death," I gasped.
He reached out his hand for the
Bible upon the table and opened It
upon his knee as though he meant to
read to us. but he shut It again In
silence and hurried out. We went
down to the gate which opens out
upon the highway. From there we
could sec the red light of the big bea
con, and the glimmer of a smaller one
to the north of us at Ayton. The old
road had more folk on It than ever
passed along It at night before, for
many of the yeomen up our way had
enrolled themselves and were riding
now as fast as hoof could carry them
for the muster. Some hnd a stirrup cup
or two before parting, and I cannot
forget one who tore past on a huge
white horse, brandishing n great rusty
sword In the moonlight. They shouted
to us, as they passed, that the North
Berwick law-fire was blazing, and that
It was thought that the alarm hnd
come from Edinburgh castle. There
were a few who galloped the other
way. couriers for Edinburgh, and the
laird's son and Master Clayton, thu
deputy sheriff, and such like.
But early In the morning we had our
minds set at ease. It was gray and
cold, and my mother hud gone up to
the house to make a pot of tea for
us, when there came a gig down the
road with Doctor Horseroft of Ayton
In it and his son Jim. The collar of
the doctor's coat came over his ears,
and he looked In a deadly black hu
mor, for Jim, who was but fifteen
years of age, had trooped off to Ber
wick at the first alarm with his fa
ther's new fowling piece. All night
his dad had chased him, and now there
he was, a prisoner, with the barrel of
the stolen gun sticking out from be
hind the seat. He looked as sulky as
his father, with his hands thrust Into
his side pockets, his brows drawn
down, and his lower lip thrust out.
"It's all a lie," shouted the doctor,
as he passed. "There has been no
landing, nnd all the fools In Scotland
have been gadding about the roads for
nothing." His son Jim snarled some
thing up at him on this, nnd his father
struck him a blow with his clenched
Bat on the side of the head, which
sent the boy's chin forward upon his
breast as though he had been stunned.
Now all this has little enough to do
with what I took my pen up to tell
about ; but when a man has a good
memory and little skill he cannot
draw one thought from his nJnd with
out a dozen others trailing out behind
it. And yet, now that I come to think
of It, this hnd something to do with it
nfter all ; for Jim Horseroft had so
deadly a quarrel wPh his father that
he was packed off to Blrtwhlstle's
Berwick academy ; and as my father
had long wished me to go there he
took advantage of this chance to send
me also.
There was from the first a great
friendship between Jim Horseroft, the
doctor's son, and me. He was cock
boy of the school from the day he
came, for within the hour he had
thrown Barton, who had been cock be
fore him, right through the big black
board In the classroom. Jim always
ran to muscle nnd bone, nnd even then
he was square and tall, short of speech
and long of arm, much given to loung
ing with his broad back against walls,
and his hands deep in his breeches
pockets. I can even recall that he had
a trick of keeping a straw In the cor
ner of his mouth, just where he used
afterward to hold his pipe. Jim was
always the same, for good and for bad,
since first I knew him.
Heavens! How we all looked up to
him ! We were but young savages,
nnd had a savage's respect for power.
What tales we used to whisper about
his strength ; how he put his fist
through the oak panel of the game
room door. How when Long Merrl
dew was carrying the ball, he caught
up Merrtdew, ball nnd all, and ran
swiftly past every opponent to the
goal. It did not seem fit to us that
such a one as he should trouble his
head about spondees and dactyls, or
care to know w' o signed the Magna
Charta. When he said in open class
that King Alfred was the man, we
little boys all felt that very likely It
was so. and that perhaps Jim knew
more about It than the man who wrote
the book.
For two years we were close friends,
for all the gap that the years had
made between us, and. though In pas
sion or in want of thought he did
many a thing that galled me. yet 1
loved him like a brother, and wept as
much as would have filled an ink
bottle when at last, after two years,
he went off to Edinburgh to study his
father's profession. Five years after
that did I bide at Birtwhlstle's, and
when I left I had become cock myself,
for 1 was as wiry nnd as tough as
whalebone, though I never ran to
weight and sinew, like my great prede
tixiiiiixixiixxxrn
SSSBBSBSBBBSSSaSSSD
cessor. It was In Jubilee yenr that I
left Blrtwhlstle's, and then for threi
years I stayed at home, learning tlx
ways of the cattle; but still the ship.'
and the armies were wrestling, and
still the great shadow of Bonaparte
lay across the country.
How could 1 guess that I, too,
should have a hund In lifting that
shadow forever from our people)
CHAPTER II.
Cousin Edle of Eyemouth.
Some years before, when I was still
but a lad, there had come over to us
upon a five weeks' visit the only
daughter of my father's brother. Wil
lie Calder hnd settled at Eyemouth
ns a maker of fishing nets, and he had
made more out of twine than ever we
were like to do out of the whin bushel
nnd sand links of West Inch. So his
daughter, Edle Calder, came over with
n braw red frock and a live-shilling
bonnet and a kist full of things thin
brought my deur mother's, eyes out
like a pnrten's.
I took no great stork of girls nt
Mint time, for It wns hard for me to
see what they hnd been made for.
There were none of us nt Blrtwhlstle's
Hint thought very much of them; but
t lie smallest laddies seemed to have
the most sense, for, after they began
to grow bigger they were not so sure
about It. We little ones were all of
one mind that a creature that couldn't
fight and was carrying tales, and
couldn't so much as shy a stone with
out flapping Its arm like n rug In the
wind was no use for anything.
So when this one came to the stead
ing nt West Inch I wns not best
pleased to see her. I wns twelve at
the time (it was In the holidays) and
she eleven, a thin, tallish girl, with
bluck eyes and the queerest ways. She
was forever staring out In front of
her, with her lips putted ns if she saw
something wonderful ; but when 1
came behind her and looked the same
way I could see nothing but the
sheep's trough or the midden or fa
ther's breeches hnnging on n clothes
line. And then If she saw a lump of
heather or bracken, or any common
stuff of that sort, she would mope
over it as if It hnd struck her sick, nnd
cry, "How sweet ! how perfect I" Just
as though It hnd been a painted pic
ture. When I used to lei! her that
she was good for nothing, nnd Hint her
father wns n fool to bring her up like
that, she would begin to cry, nnd sny
that I was a rude boy, nnd thnt she
would go home thnt very night, and
never forgive me as long ns she lived.
But in five minutes she hnd forgotten
all about It. What was strange wns
thnt she liked me a deal better than
I did her, nnd she would never leave
me alone, but she was always watch
ing me and running after me, anil
then saying, "Oh, here you are!" as
If It were a surprise.
Jim Horseroft was nwny when
Cousin Edle wns with us, but he enme
back the very week she went, and I
mind how surprised I was that he
should ask nny questions or take nny
Interest In a mere lassie. He asked
me If she were pretty ; and when I
snld that I hadn't noticed he laughed
nnd called me a mole, nnd said my
eyes would be opened some day. But
very soon he enme to be Interested In
something else, nnd I never gave Edle
another thought until one day she just
took my life in her hands and twisted
It as I could twist this quill.
That wns In 1813, after I hnd left
school, when I was already eighteen
years of age, with a good forty hnlrs
on my upper lip nnd every hope of
more. I had changed since I left
school, and w:s not so keen on games
as I had been, but found myself In
stead lying about on the sunny side
of the braes, with my own lips parted
and my eyes staring just the same ns
Cousin Edie's used to do. It hnd sat
isfied me, nnd filled my whole life, thnt
I could run faster nnd jump higher
than my neighbor, but now all that
seemed such a little thing, nnd I
yearned and looked up nt the big arch
ing sky nnd down nt the flat blue sea,
and felt (hat there wns something
wanting, but could never lay my
tongue to what that something wns.
And I became quick of temper, too.
for my nerves seemed all of a fret ;
and when my mother would ask nie
what ailed me. or my father would
speak of my turning my hand to work,
I would break Into such shnrp, bitter
answers as I have often grieved over
since. Ah, a man may have more than
one wife, and more than one child,
and more than one friend, but he can
never have but one mother, so let him
cherish her while he may.

Drink Water When Tired.
Dr. Eliza B. Mosher of Brooklyn
urged the members of the Women's
Sledical society of New York state to
drink a glass of water at 10 a. m. and
others at 8, 4 and 5 p. m. This, she
told them, would dilute the products
of fatigue which were enterlug the
