Instead of falling entirely asleep I

Felton became frightfully pale, and
a convulsive tremor crept through his

"And what was more terrible," con

I retained a consciousness of the dan

Milady saw at a single glance all the
painful feelings she Inspired in Felton,
bat she would not spare him a single
pang.
"Only this time it waa no longer an
inert body without feeling that the
villain had to deal with. I struggled.

" 'Ah, ah!* cried he, seizing my arm
and wresting from me the weapon.
•You want to take my life, do you, 'siy
pretty Puritan! Come, come: calm
yourself, my sweet girl! You don't
love me; tomorrow you shall be free.'
"I had bnt one wish, and that was
that he should kill me.

" 'Yon shall have no weapon left In

"'I will allow myself to die with

the door open and shut, and I remain

by my grief than by the shame of not

" 'Upon the cross,' cried I, rising, for
at that abhorred voice 1 had recovered

"Pardon, pardon!" cried Felton. "Oil,

MUady read' in his eyes love, love!
Bbe let one of those looks fall upon
him which make a slave of a king, lie
no longer loved her—he adored her.
When milady appeured to have re
sumed her self possession, which she
hud uever lost, when Felton had seen
her cover herself again—"Ah, now,"
snid be, "1 bave only one thing to ask
of you—that is. the name."
"What, brother!" cried milady.
"Must I name him again? Hare you
not yet divined who he Is? He who
protects the Protestants today and
will betray them tomorrow"—
"Buckingham It Is, then, Bucking
ham!" cried Felton. In a high state at
exasperation.
Milady concealed her face in her
hands, as if she could not endure tbe
shame which thla name recalled to
her.
"But he will draw down upon his
head the puulshmenUre served for the
damned!" said Felton. . .
"Men fear him and spare him."
"I," said Felton, "1 do not fear him,
nor will I spare him. But how can
Lord de Winter, my protector, my fa
ther, possibly be mixed up with all
this?"
"Listen, Felton," resumed milady.
"I had an affianced husband, a man
whom I loved and who loved me, a
heart like yours, Felton, a msn like
you. I went to him and told him all.
He knew me, that man did, and did
not doubt an instant. He was a no
bleman, a man equal to Buckingham
In every respect." He said nothing.
He only girded on his sword, envel
oped himself In his cloak and went
straight to Buckingham palace.
"Buckingham had left England tbe
day before, sent ambassador to Spain
to demand the hand of the Infanta
for King Charles 1., who was then
only Prince of Wales. My affianced
husband returned.
" 'Hear me,' said he. This man Is
gone and for the moment has conse
quently escaped my vengeance. But
let us be united, as we were to have
been, and then leave It to Lord de
Winter to maintain hla own honor and
that of his wife.' "
"Lord de Winter!" cried Felton.
•"Yes," said milady, "Lord de Win
ter. And now you can understand it
all, can you not? Buckingham re
mained nearly a year absent A week
before his return Lord de Winter died,
leaving me his sole heir. Whence
came the blow? God, who knows all,
knows without doubt. But aa for me,
I accuse nobody."
"Oh, what an abyss, what an
abyss!" cried Felton.
"Lord de Winter dlcil without reveal
ing anything to his brother. Your pro
tector had seen with pain thla mar
riage of bis elder brother with a por
tionless girl. I went to France with
a determination to remain there for
the rest of my life. But all my for
tune Is in England. Communication
being closed by tbe war, I was in want
of everything 1 was then obliged to
come back again. Six days ago I land
ed at Portsmouth."
"Well?" aald Felton.
"Well; Buckingham beard by tome
means no doubt of my return. He
■poke of me to Lord de Winter, already
prejudiced against me, and told blm
tbat bU sister-in-law win a branded
woman. Lord de Winter believed all
that wag told him. He caused me to
be arrested, you know the rest You
see, then, Felton. I can do nothing but
die. Felton, give me that knife."
And at these word* milady sank
weak and languishing into the arms
of the young officer, who received her
with transport pressed her against bis
heart
"No, no," said he; "no, you shall live
honored and pure. You shall live to
triumph over your enemies."
"Felton, I bring misfortune to all
who surround me I Felton, abandon
me! Felton, let me dial" .
Several strokes resounded on the
door. Milady pushed him away from
her.
"Hark!" aaid abe. "We have been
overheard. Home one Is coming! All

"No," aald Felton; "it Is only the sen

"Then run to the door and open it

Felton found a sergeant command

William Jennings Bryan Analyzes
Record of Third Term Candidate
HIS SUDDEN CONVERSION
No Message In Behalf of People's
Cause In Seven and a Half Years
T. R. Was Preeldent
By WILLIAM JKNNINQS BRYAN.
Solomon says that the borrower ir
servant unto the lender. If this ap
plies to one who borfows ideas Mr.
Roosevelt does not reoognlse the obll
gaUon, for he haa not only borrowed
from the Democratic party aa few pub
lic men have borrowed from an oppos
ing party, but ha has shown himself
strangely ungrateful for the Ideas tak
en. Of course It will not be contended
that an idea ean be patented. It Is the
only thing, In fact, that la not subject
to monopoly.
Even Mr. Perkins, with all his fond
ness for the trust, would not contend
Utat a monopoly In ideas could be
formed and made aubject to regulation
by a bureau appointed by the presi
dent. Mr. Eoospvelt, however, ha* won
his popularity by the advocacy of
things previously advocated by tbe
Democrats, and still he is all the while
assailing the Democrats bitterly and
has shown toward them a hostility
that is bard to explain.
To show the extent of his borrowing,
let me enumerate some of the things
which he now advocates that were ad
vocated by the Democrats at an ear
lier date.
Shall the People ftulef
Take his paramonnt Issue of the
present campaign—namely, the rule of
the people. The platform adopted by
the Democratic national convention at
Denver four years ago oontained the
following:
" 'Shall the people rule T is the over
whelming Issue which manifests Itself
in all the questions now under discus
sion."
Here is the very phrase which he
employe, and It la not only declared to
be an laaue, but the overwhelming Is
sue. It was dwelt upon by the oandl
datea and by other speakers during the
campaign, so that Mr. Roosevelt, then
president, may be assumed to have had
notice of it. He not only refused to
sdmit then that It was the paramount
Issue, but he displayed extraordinary
sotivity In urging upon the country
Mr. Taft, whom he has since declared
to be the agent of bosses and the ene
my of popular government.
It would seem that he ought to make
tome slight acknowledgement of hla
Indebtedness to the Democratic party
for suggesting this issue to him. At
leaat, he might put the issue in quota
tion marks.
He Is now advocating the direct
election of senators, but If he ever ex
pressed himself In favor of this reform
earlier than two years sgo ths fact
has escaped my observation, and I
have not only watched carefully, but
waited anxiously, for some favorable
sxpreeelon from him.
Long Fight Fer Popular election of
•enatora.
The Democratic party began the
light for the popular election of sena
tors twenty years ago this summer,
when a Democratic house of repro
sentatlvee at Washington passed for
the first time a resolution submitting
the necessary amendment. Blnoe that
time a similar resolution has boon
passed by the house la five other oon
greesee—first, in 1114 by another Dem
ocratic housej than, after two oon
greeses had elapsed, by three Republi
can houses, and, last, by the preeent
Democratic house. During the twenty
years the reform has been Indorsed In
three Democratic platforms, the plat
forms of 1»00, 1104 and 1901, And It
hsa been indorsed by the legislatures
of nearly two-thirds of the statee. Mr.
Rooeevelt must have known of the ef
fort whioh was being made by the peo
ple to secure the popular eleotion of
senators, and yst he took no part la
the light During thla time he was
prealdest for seven and one half years,
and It Is quite certain that a ringing
message from him would have brought
victory to the people's sause, but no
meaaage came. Four years ago the
convention which he controlled and
which nominated Mr. Taft rejected,
by a vote of seven to one, a reeolution
indorsing this reform. •
Still Mr. Rooeevelt did not say any
thing He neither rebuked the Repub
lican convention nor Indorsed the
strong plank which was Included la
the Denver platform. Bvan Mr. Taft
went so far durtag ths campaign of
IMS as to say that PERSONALLY he
was INCLINED to favor the popular
electloa of seaators by the people, but
Mr. Rooeevelt did not even Indicate aa
Intention In that direction. Now, when
the reform la praettoally s soured —the
amendment being before the statee for
ratlflcatloo—be declares himself in fa
vor of It Would It not be fair for
htm to Indicate la eome way bis ap
preciation of the long eon tinned light
waged by the Demoorats la behalf at
this reform before he espoused It?
T. ft snd the Income Tax.
Mr. Roosevelt Is tat favor of aa la
oome tax. How long since? His first
indorsement of it was during his seo
osd term, aad then It was suggested
as a means of limiting swollen for
tunes and not as a means of raising
revenue. The Democratic party la
eluded aa Inoom* tax provision la the
Wilson law of 1994. When this pro
vision was declared unconstitutional
by the supreme ooart by a majority
of one the Democratic party renewed
the fight aad has contended for the
tooome tax la three national cam
paigns. |» I*o9 the Demoeratle plat
form demanded the sob miss ion of aa
amendment specifically authorizing
aa Income taa—the very amendment
mw before the statee for ratification.
Mr. Roosevelt's candidate, Mr. Taft
declared during the campaign' that aa
■gisadnnsU was K* aeeeceery, aad
MRS. CONE JOHNSON
On* of th« Vlc«-Pre»ldent« of th« Woman's National Wilson and Marshall
Mr*. Cone Johnson or Tyler, Tex., one of the vice-presidents of the
Woman's National Wilton and Marshall organization and president of the
WUson and Marshall Woman's organisation In Texaa, la In New York, where
■he will remain daring the rest of the presidential campaign in connection
with the work of the national organisation at the headquarters in the Fifth
Avenue building. Mrs. Johnson came east with her husband, who is one
of the most prominent politicians, most successful lawyers and moat bril
liant orators in Texas, to attend the Tlaltlmore convention. Mr. Johnson was
ohairman of the Texas delegation which, as is well known, was solid for
Governor Wilson throughout the famous Baltimore sessions. He will ao
tlvely participate in the campaign, delivering a number of speeches for the
ticket. Mrs. Johnson has been spending the summer in the east and will
remain here to do all In her power for the advancement of the Democratic
oause and the election of Wilson and Marshall.
Mrs. Johnson has done splendid work In her own state at the bead of
the organisation of women which has been working with sucoess In a well
directed effort to raise funds for the Democratic cause and Increase interest
In the campaign. She was president of the Texaa Federation of Women's
Clubs and has for years been active in that organisation. She was formerly
president of the Texas division United Daughters of the Confederacy. She
Industrial Arta located at Denton, Tex. This board waa the first In As
was for over ten years a member of the board of regents of the Collage of
history of the state to Include women
Mrs. Johnson's presence will add material strength to the splendid head
quarters forca of the national organization with which she la officially con
nected.
fcr. Roosevelt never maoe any ar«u
meat in favor of the amendment or In
favor of the principle embodied in It
The amendment haa now been ratified
by thirty-four atates; but, so far as I
know, Mr. Roosevelt has never made
• speech in favor of its ratification
nor, since the submission of ths
amendment, made a speech urging an
Income tax as a part ot our fiscal sys
tem. It would not require any great
stretch of goneroslty on his part to
credit the Democratic party with pri
ority in the advocacy of this reform.
Not Always For Railroad Regulation.
Mr. Hoosevelt Is now an advocate of
railroad regulation. Whin did ho com
mence? The Democratic party In Its
platforma of 1596. 1900 and 1904 de
manded an eitenslon of the powers of
the Interstate commerce commission.
Up to 1904 Mr. Roosevelt nover dis
cussed the subject of railroad regula
tion officially or In public speech, so
far aa I have been able to And. Al
though nominated without opposition
la the convention of 1904. his platform
oontalned no promise of railroad regu
lation. By Its attitude on the railroad
question the Democratic party alienat
ed the support or those railway officials
who counted themselves Democrats,
and Mr. Hoosevelt both In 1900, when
ha waa a candidate for vice-president,
and in 1904, when he waa a candidate
for president, bad the benefit of the
support of those ai-Democrata: It was
la 1904 that he wrote his famoua let
ter to Mr. Harrlman and in the state
•f New York profited by the campaign
fund that Mr, Harrlman raised.
Whan after 1904 Mr. Roosevelt took
ap the subject of railroad regulation
ha found mora hearty support among
tha Democrats In the senate and house

he baa reason to know that the Dem

T, It's Complete Somersault
On tha subject of publicity aa to
oampaign contributions he has not only
adopted tha Democratic position, but
ha has been compelled to turn a com
plete somersault In order to do so. In
1901 the Democratic platform demand
ed the publication before election of
the names of Individual contributor*
aad the amount* contributed. Mr.
Roosevelt at that time Indorsed Mr.
Taft's contention that the publication
should be deferred until after the elec
tion, and even went so far aa to give
reasons for believing that It would be
lai pro per to make the publication be
fore the election. Two year* later he
declared In favor of publicity before
aad after the election, leading on the
Democratic aide shortly before tM> law
was enacted carrying out the yDemo
eratlc platform on thla subject Here,
surely, he ought to praise the Demo
cratic party for the ploaeer work It
has done In purifying politics.
Here are a tow of the things which
bear the Democratic brand, aad with
all ef his experience on the plains be
will not be able to "work the brand
over" so as to make It look like T.K."

President Taft and Governor
Woodrow Wilson met for the first
time since the campaign started
at a hotel in B iston Thursday
night. They greeted each other
heartily and chatted for several
minutes. The President Inquired
of the Governor how his voice was
holding out and the Democratic
candidate In answering said:
"Very well, considering the way
campaign committees impose upon
the personal comforts of th> can

The New York Sun, a staunch
supporter of President Taft for
re-election, has caused to be made
a poll of four representative dis
trict* in New York county, and
the result is most pleasing to the
friends of Governor Wilson. The
polls shows that Wilson carries
every district and in two be has a
majority over both Taft and
ltoosevelt. In one district Roose
velt runs second aud in another
he ties with Taft.
