Copyright, 1905, by Epes W. Sargent HE men of Jepson Center said -that David Grimes was a shrewd politician, with a clean record, and he deserved to go tp congress. The women pronounced him jR bard taskmaster and husband, a skinflint, unworthy of the wife who bad helped to make him what he was, the jolitical autocrat ofTJlobrara coun ty. But Grimes cared little enough for the latter opinion. Women could not .vote, 5Th,e greed for votes,, for political advancement and power was upon him, and the morrow would mark the" first great crisis of his life. From Justice of the peace to congress man in eight years! His first election had. been a walkover. The office of sheriff had fairly fallen Into his lap, and he had gone to the state legislature backed ty th'e'solld vote of his party. But, the office of congressman was the gift not only pf his own county, but of Rock Creek also, and tben there was young Jameson of Chadron to be con. sidered. . Well, tomorrow's conference would settle the question. Smythe, man. ager of the great land syndicate and irrigation company whieli controlled mile after mile of redeemable property and "hundreds- of votes, was coming from Omaha to attend the county cele bration at Chadron on Independence day, , to Inspect the company's broad farms and to take a band In the polit ical game. "" And David Grimes was to be orator of the day!, Flags would flutter; bands would: playi. cheers would follow his great , speech; A strange thrill passed over this usually1 cold, calculating and sell contained man. Tben ms momen tary enthusiasm died. A light touch -rested on bis arm. "David, If you don't mind, I'd like to . go over to the celebration with you tomorrow.: I-alpt been 'to Chadron in three years, and I ain't never heard yon speak in public. I"- Grimes glanced .superciliously' at the slender figure beside him,' tben down the alkali sprinkled street to Morgan's store.-where a row of ranch teams an "notmeed tbe presence of ''Voters. .. ?."Chodroaw0n't-be any place for Women folks' tomorrow. There'll be more - politics than skyrockets In -the air. and I'll be , too busy to bother - with .vou' I've , nromised Brooks, su- berintendent of- the .North ;- farm. tbe extra 'place' In'my buggy. Besides, one woman fr6m the family will .- be -enough, I'm thinking, and I've written Effle-to-stay over for the "celebration, being as her teaching there tnis win ter has aiven ber something of a stand- In with the board. I need all the h'eln i I ca'n'gef Just now, and Effle '11 make a better appearance than you wonld. . You alnt much on style,' Man dy, nor on making up to folks." He said this, with the brutal frankness of the-self centered, aosoroea ujujviuuui, and,' without waiting for her reply, be strode off toward Morgan s siore.. Bnt there would have been no reply. Patient, docile. Mandy bad long since learned the futility of arguing against fate in the form of her masterful hus band. Her first lesson had come twen ty years before, when, after a brief .i,iin, . tminu to see "Davids fen,."" th Kiid atooned off at.

The letter you did not write. The flower you might have sent, dear. Are your haunting ghosts tonight opinions had developed Into the do mestic tyrant, and the pretty girl he . had wooed nnd won "down in Knep- ;per county" became a silent shadow In her own household, mere bearer of ' homely, unremitting, burdens. Mandy closed the door and dropped dejectedly into the nearest chair. She glanced -lit the mirror opposite, and a tulst swam before her eyes. Yes, she Was getting old and haggard. If Da vid went to Washington, Effle must ac company him. Yet it was her own ef forts to save, her dally drudgery, that would provide the means. In a vogue way Mandy realized that to the hon est man politics is not always a prof itable vocation. V Her reverie was interrupted by voices In the front yard, n girlish treble ask ing eager questions, then a boyish fal setto exclaiming excitedly: . "Say, Effle, won't you give me a quarter? There's going to be a circus In town tomorrow, , and dad says I can't go, and he won't take me to Chadron nor" . The door flew open, and Mrs. Grimes, nil a-tremble with mingled delight and apprehension, drew her daughter In- nide. "Ob, Eflie, dear, it's so good to see you! An you're looUIn' Just fine, not a bit as If you'd been worryin' with them children- through this bot spell. But what will your father say? He's cxpectln' you to wait over In Chadron for the celebration an' hear him speak. He'll be dreadful put out about your eoinln'. Dear me, what a lot of bun dles! I'm 'fraid you've been wastln' your bard earned money, an' your fa ther won't be pleased at all." Tiny lines formed around the girl's mouth, but her voice was gentle. "Let's gojip to my room, mother, dear, and we'll open the packages. I have so much to tell you." But once within the shelter of the dormer windowed room Ellle Grimes turned strangely silent It required several minutes to remove her hat and replace the pins at the proper angle. Then she unpacked her small hand bag and arranged with elaborate care her few toilet articles on the crocheted bureau mats. Her motner watched each move with anxious eyes. "Effle," she asked In tremulous tones, ."I hope It ain't young Jameson. Your fatlierls most eternally set against him an' your bavin anything to do with him. An' yon know your father." Eflle was hidden In the closet It took her some time to find Just the right corner in which to tuck her band ban. When she finally emerged her face was Jjuite esle but her voice was quiet and even. I ouifflt to Know iamor. 1 1 lived In the same house with him long enough." Then, seeing that her bitter tones had' brought the old shadow to, ber mother's face, she continued gen- , tlyr "We won t tain any more uu Ed I mean" Mr. Jameson. I want yon to see the new dress I bought yon." i The color flew to Mrs. unmet w. She clasped ber hands together nerv onalr as Effle untied the package, and a Brond light shone In her eyes. Effle, her eldest born, nau given mi " ter, bad bought ner a oreaa whji , the first money soe wu m Yet force of habit prompted the next words. .-'-- '' ' "Yoo hadnt oogbt to, aear, in won't like It He was jnsc say- la this morn in' be expected you'd have a nice nest egg to the Chadron bank.

Her touch was almost reverent It bad been so many years since she had owned a whole new dress. Tben i two great tears of Joy splashed on the ' Insertion which crisscrossed the front of the waist. I "Oh, Effle, how did you know I'd dreamed of huvln' a dress like this ev ' ery summer for five years? But I'm i afraid you spent too much for It That lace cost a dollar a bolt If it cost a cent. Then there was file nialiln'." Two cool, firm bauds drew away the dress, and Effle tall, self contained Ef fle slipped Into her mother's arms and clasped both bands about ber neck "Mother, dearest mother, you mako ' me feel so utterly selllsb, you who made me whatever I am, who gave the best there was iu you for me, to see you make such a fuss over a little gift. I ought to bure done so much more. I ought to have gone to work for you years ago. And I ought not" Again that conscious look, that sud den catch In the voice, and she banded her mother another bundle, from which tumbled a gown -of sheer white lawn trimmed with delicate lace. "The very thing for you to wear to the celebration tomorrow with your fa. tber!" exclaimed Mrs. Grimes, unmind ful of her own disappointment 1 A quizzical smile played about Eflle's i lips, and she stroked the white gown lovingly. I "Do you think there Is any celebru. 1 tion worthy of this dress? Besides, I'm not going to Chadron. I hate speeches end fireworks." And the two women . went downstairs arm lu arm. . - - I It was not until bedtime that David Grimes broached the subject of the celebration. His wife had been called to the bedside of a sick neighbor, and be sat alone with Eflle on the porch. "You'd better take the 0 o'clock train for Chadron tomorrow. I want yon to be on band for the exercises, but yon can't go over in the buggy. I've prom ised Brooks a ride with me, and I'll need him to pull strings with Smythe, It's going to be a great day with me, Effle." ' "I hope so, father," said the girl smoothly, "but I don't care to go. Mother will be lonely here, and I shall stay with her." Then, as If the matter were closed, she rose and walked deliberately In the direction ber mother had taken. For a moment David Grimes sat as one stun ned; then there rushed Into his mind the dozen or more effective answers which he should have- made to this open rebellion. So fnucb for letting one's children leave home and achieve Independence! He would have a set- 1 1 -..t.t. aI-Im n w 3 ZTcr Z man, but not tonight He must re-i serve bis energy, bis diplomacy, bis voice, for the morrow. There waa much at stake on the morrow. A narrow trail of white dust against a cloudless blue sky was all that told of the departure of David Grimes for the scene of his anticipated triumphs. Arrayed In broadcloth and linen, respec- tlvely brushed and laundered by Man - dy's bands and carefully hidden by a f long linen duster, be had climbed Into the best buggy, which bad been led to the gate by the disconsolate Jimmy. The latter, barred from both celebra tion and circus, felt bis patriotism oozing rapidly from his grimy finger tips. Eflie laid a caressing hand on bis shoulder and said: "Well, Jimmy, I guess It Is Just about time for our celebration to begin." I Something bard and shiny slid Into his ' band. Jimmy gasped. Never before bad be owned a whole dollar. "For the circus, part of It, dearie, and the rest for cannon firecrackers. Be sure you get an extra large one and shoot it for me. Yon know I'm afraid to touch It off myself." - And with a smile the girl drew ber mother's arm through ber own and started back toward the house. ' Mrs. Grimes protested feebly against the ex travagance, bnt Effle laid a loving band over ber mother's Hps. , "I must I must do something per fectly wild. I am so happy." But there was a suggestion of tears In ber voice, and ber bauds this morn ing were not cool and firm, but hot and trembling. Mandy tnrnedStnxlous eyes on her firstborn. ; , . - "Effle, you ain't acted natural since you come borne. . What's on your mind?" ' . : "Yon, Just now." came the quick re sponse. "I don't like to be selfish, but Tm a J raid yo sprat too much for U." I am se glad yon old not go with fa tber to the celebration, for-for. yoo 7motbr. dear, I era going to be mar- rled today.' and It would be bard not t0 have yoo at tke ceremony." . I They bad reached the bou by Oils time, and Mrs. Grime dropped weakly 'to tb. neare chair. Effle knelt b- ber , - - not oHIIng yon before, but I was afraid father would find out He would never giro bis conaent to my marrying Ed. There Is nothing but political ill feeling en bis part, for Ed Jameaoa hasn't an other enemy In the world, only father la afraid of falm, afraid of Ed's power In politics. We love each ether, and I want a Dome, a real borne, not an abid ing place. Oh, I don't mean to hurt you, "but you must understand that fa. ther ruined my girlhood, Just as be has ruined yonr life. I don't want to teach; I am not suited for the work. And I do love Ed. He could not come to the bouse all summer long, and I am too proud to meet the man I love like a thief In the night' So we are going oyer to the Methodist minister's this morning and be quietly married. And there Is where all my money went. I have all my clothes and my linen." During Eme's long and at times bait lug speech Mrs. Grimes bad offered no Interruption. She sat as In a dream, perhaps a dream of the day long years before when she, too, had been a bride. But at the words "clothes and linen" she started as one stung to the realisa tion of an unpleasant fact . ' , - "And you've done this all alone! Your father and mother ain't bad any band In gettln' your outfit, ain't done a thing for you." A world of hurt pride, of motherly despair, rang In the words, and then she turned pleadingly to her daughter. "Don't you reckon If you waited a day and things went right at Chadron for your father he'd feel bet- ter natured and we could havo a wed dln'? I don't want a daughter of mine married without any weddlnT We don't want to take any chances, mother, and I promised Ed to be ready when be comes, so bring your bonnet and I'll fasten on some fresh roses. Yon must look, your prettiest for-my wed ding day." Silently Mandy left the room, but when she returned a few moments later she carried, Instead of the bonnet which had been "freshened" annually for five years, an old fashioned steel bend purse. The expression of ber face, even her bearing, had undergone a subtle change. She stood erect, and the lines bad disappeared from her face, now illuminated by a sudden re solve that seemed to restore ber lost youth. . - , "Eflle, we've Just got to have a wed- din'. It shan't be said that a daughter of mine was married away from ber borne an' without a weddin' dinner. We've got the whole day before us. It's only a little past 7, an' I've got a little money of my own that I've been savin' for someUiln' just like this.' In her excitement she bad forgotten that the nickels and dimes bad been laid aside to buy new underwear for ber -"laying out," a custom prevalent In ber family for many generations which tor ber lacked any - element of grewsomeness. "We'll bare some of the girls you went to school with. There's Maty Harter she said she wouldn't go to the celebration because she hates cannon an' noise an' Lucy Burn dlan,t 8 new dress finish . . . . ! ed. You get them two to help us lie up the bouse with flowers." Mandy fairly quivered with- happiness and new-found powers, while Effle stood dunifounded In the presence of this sudden assertion of maternal rights. "I've got chickens a-plenty; and there's time to. beat up a couple of cake. Thank goodness we didn't eat up all of that best apple Jelly. Now yon run for tbo girls whllo I set Jimmy catch in the chicken. If Ed comes while you're gone I'll send him right over to engage the preacher." - ;". And Mandy Grimes, rejuvenated nay, born anew hurried, with a soft tune on ber Hps, toward' the barn, where Jimmy was rushing through bis chores as only a small boy with a sil ver dollar burning a bole In bis pocket can hurry. ' ' : ... ',--.' :. e e In the. dull blaze of the midsummer sunset David Grimes drove slowly to ward Jepson Center. The seat beside blm was vacant, and the dust fell un noticed on bis black suit and withered linen. His duster at this moment bung on a peg In CbadVon's principal livery stable. The superintendent of the North farm bad remained over for the fire works and ball. The pyrotechnics- In the bosom of David Grimes were suffi cient to satisfy that gentleman fully, and he had been glad to escape front the gaping, applauding crowds at the county seat not that bis oration bad failed to win the approval of bis eon- stltuents, but there are occasions when constituents are unavailing. This bad been one of them. '".'..;.-; It bad all happened at the conference, when, wltb the plaudits, of the crowd atill ringing In bis ears, be bad beard Btuytbe state as bluntly as be could bave worded It himself that a younger man should represent the district In congress, and the yonng man which bis company, and Incidentally Bock Creek county, bad in mind was .Edward p. Jameson, who bad attracted considera ble attention by bis skillful handling of a big lawsuit In Omaha. Tbe autocrat of Jepson Center bad bowed to the powers as represented by Smythe and bad walked proudly", erectly from tbe room at tbe close of the conference. Jameson! If It bad been any one bnt that conceited upstart who bad been forbidden bis bouse! It was well that "the rising young politician," as tbe Chadron Bugle called him, bad not been at tbe conference. "Hello, Mr. Grimes!" ' Tbe dethroned autocrat jerked his horse to a standstill A bent figure sidled up to tbe buggy. It was only "Pap" Burns, but be bad a vote, aad from babft Crimes forced a genial greeting "You don't mind firm' me a lift tbe rest av tbe way, do yon? Tbaaksl It Is warm, an' tbem circus tents Is tbe baktn'sat places. I seen yonr Jimmy there. It was a blamed poor show, but be seemed to Hod tbe lenwoade an' .peanuts to bis likla', arena ss alnt what they was when yoa an aw was boys, Dave. Now, when" Tbe garrulous old chap cbatterel ee, but Grimes was not listening.. Be made a rapid calculation. Jimmy had spent not less than 73 cents wasted money. . Maady might not realixe tbe gravity ef bis owa political d ova fail, but sue abootd be made to nderstaad tbe- terrible extravagance ef which she bad been guilty. But where bad she got tbe money? Ebe bad accounted for every rent be bad given ber In years. If ebe bait sold some of those Leghorns to scad Jimmy to the drcu His fsce turned purple, sod be gave bis bone a vicious est Wasn't It enough to watch tJ political balloon pricked by. a mtn with a pull without coming boue to rebellion In bi owa house bold? Tbe r.:emory of bow Effle bad quk-tiy Ignored bis expressed wish tbe night before rose afresh. - lie pnlk-l up before the narrow path leading to bis front door and, knotting tbe reins about the whip socCet, called grimly for Jimmy. There was no re sponse, but be caught sight of strange face In tbe kitchen doorway. It was Poorhouse Jenny. In one band she held a dish towel; from the other she munched a tblck slice of cake. As be strode up tbe walk bis feet ground flower petal and rice Into the gravel. These be did not notice, for suddenly Mandy appeared at tb door. She wore a new dress. There was a pretty col or in ber cheeks, a sparkle in tbe eyes that yesterday seemed faded. She waa frail and slender, and tbe stalwart. frowning man could have crushed ber aside without an effort, yet somehow she seemed to bar bis entrance. - He paused before ber wltb an Imprecation. "Where's that boy. and what's Poor- bouse Jenny eating tbe cake I paid for as free a if It wa black bread T" Tbo figure In the doorway trembled lightly, then seemed to turn rigid. ' "I paid for that cake, David, out of my savin's. Aa It' Effle' weddin cake. She' gone. She left rood by for you, but ahe didn't want no scene on ber weddin' day. It's been scenes ev ery meal we've set down to In years, an' sht's tired of beln' hectored to leatb. I don't know a I blame ber for wanttn' to get away from such a life. I'm goln' over to Chadron next week when they come back from Oma ba an' help tbem furnish their bouse. Edward aald I ahould." ' Mandy smiled remlnlscently, She should certainly buy a red plush sofa for Effle's psrlor If there was one In town. Then she looked back at ber husband. Ills band grasped tbe porch post, and bis face was distorted wltb rge. "D'ye mean to say she married that JainesooT And you helped ber to sneak out of ber father's bouse Ike- like'-."- - - -,: "That's just what sbe didn't do. Da vd, Sbe was married right here to ber mother's parlor an' wltb some of ber old friends for witnesses, an' w bad a dinner. There ain't no us for you to swear an' carry on, David. am ber mother, an' I ought to have some say. I'm goto' to have some say, too, about the bouse. I've helped you pay for it an' everything that's in It, an' the law gives me a share of it You told me yesterday 1 wasn't much on appearance, but that's your fault No on that's lived tbe abut In life I bave would b. I'm goto' to live like otitei women do, an' I'm goln' over to Edward' an' Effle's every month. Ed. ward, be said"- , The name waa as a red rag to a bull. David Grimes smote tbe plana railing wltb bis fist. "D'ye know' that smooth faced, lying yonng rascal has got tbe promise of tbe nomination to congress, which was mine by rights? He's beaten me, beat en tbe father of bis wife, and stole bis wife to the bargain. He's" Mandy Grim drew herself op, and more than ever tbe doorway seemed barred. - "Well, all I've got to say 1 that I'm glad tbe nomination's been kept la tbe family. An aa f or tbe rest, I don't want any scene msde here. There's been scsndal enough about tbe way you treat your fam'ly without your shoutln so tbe whole neighborhood can bear you. If you was half as proud of your folks an' treated tbem half as de cent as yoo do your voters w wouldn't be the talk of Jepson Center. I'm plumb sick of bain' spoke of as "poor Msndy Grimes.' Now, If yon have any wearln to do yon march out to tbe barn an' do It I've got to help Jenny clear up tbe weddin' dishes. Your sup per 'II be ready In ten minutes." She turned abruptly and walked into tbe parlor. Her busbsnd stood trans fixed ss sbe disappeared; tben bis grip en tbe porch rail gradually loosened. His expression changed from fury to amasement, to Incredulity and finally to tboughtfulness. Without a word be turned on bis best, wslked down to tbe gat and led bis ber round to tb sta ble.- Poorbou Jenny, picking a chick en bone, watched blm curiously rrom tbe pantry window. But Mandy, alone to the dim, disordered parlor, clasped and unclasped ber band nervously. "I declare I doat know bow t ever did It. I alnt quite euro whether It was what Effle and Edward aald or just because It was Independence day. If I'd known he'd take it so well I'd read my lights years ago. But I bave some good times comla' yet Edward ssys he's goln' to take me to Omaha la tb fall, I don't uppoe If a wifely way to feel, but I'm glad Edward beat blm for tbe nomination. Havln' that lesson kind of took tbe life out of him an' made It easier for me. Yea, Jenny, rm comln, an yon esa put tb rest ef that weddin' cake out for Jimmy an Mr. Grimes upper."
