CHAPTER |.-During • reforw am.
Willard. Rrp^blVnn. a rich young man.
and Newcomb, Democrat, a rising young
lawyer, were opponent-candidates for
mayor. Both were chums for many years
end both were in love with Senator Gor-
don's daughter, Betty. Gordon supported
Willard for mayor. WlUard talked with
Betty of hla candidacy.
CHAPTER II—Newcomb refused to
put a grafter in hla prospective “city hall
mblest." Newcomb wee told that his ac-
tion against tha corrupt Murphy would
cost him the mayoralty, but ho persisted
In his stand. Ha made much progress In
the battle for rotes. Election day earns.
The results were being counted. At Wil-
lard's club his friends gathered about
him. predicting success. He had a gloomy
Interview with Betty. Newoomb heard of
his defeated candidacy from Betty's lips,
and he told her he loved her.
mayor In nil tbs meaning of tne word.
I refuse to b« a figurehead. I have
crossed out Murphy's name bscauso
ha Is a dishonest citizen. Yes, I am
ambitious; but I would forego Wash-
ington rather than reach It by shak-
ing Murphy's hand." The blood of the
old war-governor tingled In' his veins
at that moment.
‘‘It must be replaced." quietly.
"In face of that document T”
“In spite of It."
•1 refuse!”
“Listen to reason, my boy; you are
young, and you have to learn that In
politics there's always a bitter pill
with the sweet. To elect yon I have
given ray word to Murphy that he
shall have the ofllce.”
“You may send Mr. Murphy to me,”
said Newcomb curtly. “I'll take all
the blame."
“This Is final?” >
“It is. And Tanr surprised that you
should request this of me.”
“He will defeat you."
"So be It."
McDermott was exceedingly angry,
but he could not help admiring the
young man's resoluteness and direct
honesty.
“You are making a fatal mistake. I
shall make an enemy of the man, and
I shall not be able to help you. I
have a great deal at stake. If we
lose the eighth, we lose everything,
and for years to come.”
"Perhaps. One dishonest step leads
to another, and if I should sanotlon
this man, I should not hesitate et
greater dishonesty. My honesty Is my
bread and butter . . . and my con-
science."
"Corporations have no souls; poli-
tics has no conscience. WU-
Hard . .
"My pame Is Newcomb,” abruptly.
“In a matter of this kind I cannot per-
mit myself to be subjected to com-
parisons. You brought about my pres-
ent position In municipal affalra.”
"We had need of you, and atlll need
you,” confessed the other reluctantly.
“The party needa new blood.”
"You are a clever man, Mr. McDer-
mott; you are a leader; let me appeal
to your better Judgment. Murpby la
a blackguard, and he would be In any
party. In any country. In forcing him
on me, you rob me of my self respect."
McDermott shrugged. “In this case
he Is a necessary evil. The success of
the party, depends upon hla good will.
Listen. Will you find. In all tbla wide
land, a ruling municipality (hat Is In-
corrupt? Is there not a fly In the olnt-
ment whichever way you look? Ia not
dlshoneaty fought with dlahoneaty;
Isn’t It corruption against corruption?
Do you believe tor a minute that you
can bring about this revolution? No,
my lad; no. This Is a workaday world;
Utopia la dreamland. You can easily
keep your eye on this man. If be
makes a dishonest move, you can find
It In your power to remove him ef-
fectually. But I swaar to you that ha
la absolutely necessary.”
"Well, I will assume the risk of bis
displeasure.”
"Show him your document, and tell
him that If he leaves you In the lurch
et the polls, you'll send him to prison.
That's the only way out.” McDermott
thought he saw light.
"Make a blackmailer of myself?
Hardly.”
“I am sorry." McDermott rose.
“You are digging a pit for a vary
bright future.”
•'Politically, perhaps."
“If you are defeated, there le no poe-
elble method of tending you to Wash-
ington In Miller’s place. You muat
have popularity to back you. I have
observed that you are e very ambitious
young man."
“Not so ambitious as to obscure my
sense of right.”
”1 like your pluck, my boy, though
It stands in your own light I’ll do
all I can to pacify Murpby. Qood night
and good luck to you."
mott made hla departure.
Newcomb remained motionless la
his chair, studying the night So much
for hid dreams! He knew whet lie
Dermott’i 'Til do what I can" meant
If only he had not put hla heart so
thoroughly Into the campaign! Wen
there any honesty? . Was it worth
while to he true to oneself?
From among some old papers In n
drawer Newcomb produced the por-
trait of a young girl of 18 In fancy
drees. When he bed studied thle a
oertata length of time, ho took ont
another portrait; It wan the young
girl grown Into superb womanhood.
The eye# were kind and merry, the
month beautiful, the brow fine and
smooth Uko a young poet’s, a nose
with the slightest Ult; altogether a
high-bred, queenly, womanly face,
each an makes a man desire to do
greet thing* la the world. Nowoomb
had always loved her. He had gone
through the various phases: the boy,
the difldent youth, the men. (Usually
It takes three women to bring about
these changes!) Thar* was nothing
It Wee the Young Qlrl Grown Into
Superb Womanhood.
■us er incoherent in ms love, nothing
violent or passionate; rather the se-
rene light, the steady burning light,
that guides the ships at sea; constant,
sndurlng, a sure beacon.
As ha studied the face from ell
angle* his Jaws hardened. He lifted'
hla oh In defiantly. He had the right
to loro her; ho had lived cleanly, he
had dealt Justly to both hie friends
and hla enemies, he owed no man, ho
was bound only to his mother, who
had taught him the principles of man-
ly living. Ha had the right to love
say woman In the world. . . And
there was Wllllard—handsome, easy-
going old Dick! Why was It written
that their paths muat cross In every-
thing? Yes, Dick loved her, too, hut
With an affection that Had come only
with majority. Wllllard ha4 every-
thing to offer besides. Should he step
dawn and aside for bis friend? Did
friendship demand such n sacrifice?
No! Let Wllllard fight for her as he
(Newoomb) Intended to fight for her;
and If Wllllard won, there would be
time then to surrender.
It was almost twelve when the
scrub-woman aroused him from his
reveries. He closed hie desk and
went home, hla heart full of battle.
He would put up tho host fight that
was In him, for lovo and for fame;
and If he lost ha would still have his
manhood and self-respect, which any
woman might he proud to find at her
feet, to aoeept or decline. He would
go into Murphy’s own country and
fight him openly and without secret
weapons.
So the time went forward. The
■econd Tuesday In November was but
a fortnight off. Newcomb fought
every Inch of ground. He depended
hut little. If any, upon McDermott’s as-
sistance, though that gentleman came
gallantly to his rescue, as it was nec-
essary to sava his own scalp. It crept
Into tho papers that there was a rup-
ture betoken Murphy and the Demo-
cratic candidate. -The opposition pa-
port cried In Me; tho others re-
mained silent. Murphy said nothing
when queatlogUt; he'pimply smiled.
Newoomb won’the respect of his op-
ponents. The laboring classes saw In
i htan n Moses, and they hailed him
with cheers whenever they saw him.
There were many '^mqghable epi-
sodes during the heaC'of the cam-
paign;; hut Newcomb'knew bow and
when to laugh. He answered ques-
tions from the platform, and the Ill-
mannered were Invariably p«t to rout
by hla geod-uatured wit. once they
hoisted him on top of a bar In an ob-
senre saloon. Hie shoulders touched
the gloomy celling, and he was forced
to address the habitues, with his head
heat Ilk* a turtle’s, hts nose and eyes
effended by the heat and reek of kero-
sene and cheap tobacco. They had
brought him there to bait him; they
oarried him out on their shoulders. To
those who wanted facts he gar* facts;
to some he told humorous stories,
more er lees applicable; end to others
he spoke hie sincere convictions.
Meantime Wllllard took hold of af-
fairs, hut In n bored fashion. He did
the beet he knew bow, but It wasn’t
the best that wins high place In the
affections of the people.
The betting was even.
■lactlon day came round finally—
on* of thee* rare days when the. pallid
ghost of summer returns to view her
pant victorias, when the broad wings
of the west go a-winnowing the skies,
end the sun shines warm end grateful.
On that morning s change took place
And McDar- \ In Newcomb’s heart He became filled
with dreed. After leaving the voting
polls early In the morning, he returned
to hie home end refused to see any
on*. He oven had the telephone wires
ont Only his mother sew him, end
havered about him with a thousand
kindly attentions. At the door eke
become n veritable dragon; not even
telegraph messengers could pan* her
or escape her vigilance. ^
At six in the evening Newcomb or-
dered around hie horse. He mounted
end rod* away into the hill country
south of the city. Into the cold crisp
autumn nlr. There was fever In his
veins that needed cooling; there were
doubts and fears In his mind that
needed clearing. He wanted that
sens* of physical exhaustion which
makes a man indifferent to mental
blows.
Tho day passed and the night came.
Election night! The noisy, good-na-
tared crowds In the streets, the Jost-
ling, mall-moving crowd* 1 The Illum-
inated canvas-sheets in front of the
newspaper offices! The blare-efl
horns, the cries- the yells, the hoot*
Into the open.

There was a coo tin

Figure*, figures, th- ___

the various noises was the maddening
click of the telegraph instruments
Orest firms of waste paper Uttered
the floors. A sandwich man served-
coffee end sandwiches. The chief dis-
tributed clgsre. Everybody wee writ-
ing. Five men were east out to hunt
for Newoomb, but none could find him.
Hie mother refused to state where be

r nave that he had gone horseback rid-
fog-
At nine there was a gathering at tha
I club. Wllllard was there, and nil who
had charge of the wheels within
wheels. They had ensconced them-
selves In the hug* davenports In the
how window faofog the street, end
had given orders to the steward to
charge everything to Senator Gor 'to.
A fabulous number of corks were
pulled; but gentlemen are always or-
derly.
Wllllard, however, seemed any-
thing but happy. He bad dined at the
senator’s that evening, and something
had taken plaee there which the gen-
eral public would never learn. He
was gloomy, and the wine be drank
only added to his gloom.
Tbp younger element began to wan-
der In, carrying those execrable
rooster-posters. A gay time ensued.
Newcomb bad ridden 12 miles into
the country. At eight o’clock the tem-
perature changed and It began to
snow. He turned and rode back to-
ward the city, toward victory or de-
feat Sometimes he went at a canter,,
sometimes at a trot By and by he
could see the aureola from the electric
lights wavering above tbe city. Once
he struck a wind-match and glanced
at bla watch. Had he lost or won?
A whimsical Inspiration came to him.
He determined to hear victory or de-
feat from the Ups of the girl he loved.
The snow fell softly Into his face and
melted. His hair became matted
over his eyes; his gauntlets dripped
and the reins became slippery; a
■team rose from the horse's body, a
big-hearted hunter on which be bad
ridden many n mile.
“Good boy!" said Newcomb; “well
have It from her lips.”
Finally he struck the asphalt of tbe
city limits, and he slowed down to n
walk. He turned Into obscure streets.
Whenever he saw a bonfire, be-evaded
It
It was ten o'clock when he drew np
In front of tbe Gordon home. He tied
his horse to the poet with the hitching
chain and knotted the reins so that
they would not sltp over the horse's
head, wiped bis face with hla hand-
kerchief, and walked bravely up to
the veranda. There were few lights.
Through the library window be saw
the girl standing at the telephone.
He prayed that she might be wholly
alone. After a moment's hesitation he
pressed tbe button and waited.
Betty herself came to tbe door. She
peered out.
“What la It?" ahe asked.
"I did not expect that you would
recognize me,” Bald Newcomb, laugh-
ing.
"John? Where In the world did you
come from?" taking him by the arm
and dragging him Into the hall. “Qood
gracious 1"
“The truth Is, Betty,! I took to my
heels at alx o’clock, and have been
riding around the country ever since.”
He sent her a penetrating glance.
“Come In to the fire,” she cried, Im-
pulsively. "You are cold and wet and
hungry."
“Only wet,” he admitted as he en-
tered the cheerful library. He went
directly to the blazing grate and
spread out hla red, wet, aching bands.
Ha oould hear her bustling about; it
was a pleasant sound. A chair rolled
up to tbe fender; the rattle of a tea-
table followed. It was all very fine.
“I ought to be ashamed to enter e
house In these reeking clothes,” he
said; “but the temptation was too
great”
“You are always welcome, John,"
softly.
Hla keen ear caught the melancholy
sympathy In her tone. He shrugged.
He hfd lost the fight Had he won,
ahe would already have poured forth
her congratulations.
“Sit down,” ahe commanded, ‘‘while
I get tbe ten. Or would you prefer
brandy?"
“The tea, by all means. I do not
need brandy to bolster up my cour-
age.”, He sat down.
She left the room and returned
shortly with biscuit and tea. She
filled a cup, put In two lumps of sugar
and passed the CUP to him.
“You've a good memory,” ha said,
smiling at her. "It’s nice to bava
one's Ukor rcuiembore,i. even In e cup
of t«. 1 ;o(.k as If I had been to war,
don't I?”
She buttered a biscuit. He ate It,
not because he was hungry, but be-
cause her fingers had touched It It
was a phantom kiss. He put the'cup
down.
“Now, which Is It; have 1 boen
ltcl'ed, or have I won?”
"What!" ahe cried; "do you mean
to tell me you do not know?" 8be
gated at him bewllderlngly.
"1 have been four hours In the Sad-
dle. I know nothing, save that Which
Instinct and tbe sweet’ melancholy ct
your voice tell me. . Betty, toll me,
I’ve been licked, haven't I, and old
Dick has gone and done It, eh?”
The girl choked for a 'moment;
there was a sob la her throat. .
"Yea, John."
Newcomb reached over and tappe t
the hearth with hts riding crop, ab-
sent-mindedly. The girl gazed at him,
her eyes shining In a mist of unshed
tears. . . . She longed to reach out
her hand and smooth the furrows from
hie care-worn brow, to brush the melt-
fog crystal* of snow from his hair;
longed to nooth the smart of defeat
which ah* kne.Tff-was burning hie
heart She knew that only at ong

The girl smiled and held out her
hand to him, and an he Hid not see It,
laid It gently on hit aleev*.
“It does not matter, John. Some day
you will realise all your ambition*.
You are not tha kind of man who gives
np. Defeat Is a necessary atop to
greatness; and you will become greet.
I am glad that you came to jne.” She
knew now; nil her doubts were gone,
all the confusing shadows.
Newcomb turned end touched her
hand with his lips.
“Why did you come to me?” she
asked with fine courage.
His eye* widened. “Why did
come to yon? If I had won I should
have told you. But I haven’t won; I
have loet."
“Does that make the difference sc
great?" -------
“It makes tbe difficulty greater."
"Tell me!” with a vole* of command
They both rose suddenly, rather un
consciously, too. Their glances held,
magnet end needle-wise. Acres* the
street a bonfire biased, end the ruddy
light threw a mellow rose over their
strafoed faces. /

He turned and took a few eteps
toward tbe door.
