The huge convention-halt still rana: with the thunders of applause,, and most of the delegates Were on their ieet shouting or waving their hats, when Harley Blipped from his desk and made his way quietly to the little side-door leading from the stage. It was all over now but the noise; after a long and.desperate fight Grayson, a young lawyer, with little more than a local reputation, had been nominated by his party for the Presidency of the United States, and Harley. alert, eager, and fond of dramatic effects. Intended to te the first who should tell him the surprising fact lie paused a moment, with his hand on the door, and, looking out upon the hall with Its multitude of hot, ex cited faces, ran quickly over the events of the last three or four days. Ten .thousand people had sat there, nour alter hour, waiting for the re sult, and now the result had come. The rival parties had entered their conventions, full of doubt and appre hension. There was a singular dearth of great men; the old ones were alt dead or disabled, and the new ones had not appeared; the nation was con scious, too, of a new feeling, and all were bound to recognize it; the sense of dependency upon the Old World in certain matters which applied to the mental state rather than anything ma terial was almost gone; the democra cy had grown more democratic and the republic was more republican;. within the nation itself the West was taking a greater prominence, and the East did not begrudge it. It was relt by everybody In either party that it would be wiser to nominate a Western man, and, the first having done ; so, . the second, - as all knew it must, now followed the good ex ample. v: " ..- . . . Moreover, -"both conventions had nominated "dark horses," but the second nominee was the "darker" of the two. James Madison Grayson, af fectionately called Jimmy Grayson by his neighbors and admirers, was quite young, without a gray hair in his head, tall, powerfully, built, smooth- shaven, and With honest eyes that gazed straight into yours. He was known as a. brave man, with fine ora torical powers and . a winning per sonality, but he had come to the von ventlon merely as - a -delegate, and without any thought of securing the nomination for himself. Not a single rote had been Instructed for him. but in that lay his opportunity.; All the conspicuous candidates were weak; good men in themselves, a solid po litical objection could be raised against every one of them; and for a while the ; voting was scattered - and desul tory. - Then Grayson "began t6 attract attention; as a delegate. he had spoken two or three times, always brjefly. but with grace and to the point, and the people were glad both to see him and to hear him. At last a far-sighted old" man from the same State knew : that the mo ment had come when the convention staggering about in the dark, could be led easily along any road that seemed the path of light, lie men tioned the name of Grayson, putting it forward mildly as a suggestion that he would withdraw at the first oppo sition. but his very mildness warded oft attack. Received rather lightly, at first, the suggestion soon made strong appeal to the delegates. Noth ing could be urged against Grayson; he was quite young, it was true, but youth was needed to make a great campaign the odds were heavily In favor of the other , party. Nor were there lacking those who, expecting de feat, said that a young man could bear it better than an old one, and a beating now might train him for victory four years hence.c Grayson himself was surprised when he heard the report, nor could he evet be convinced that he would be nomi nated ; he regarded the whole thing as absurd, a few votes, no more, might be cast for him, but, as was fit and decent, he withdrew from the hall All those whose names were before the convention were expected to re main at home or elsewhere in the city and Jimmy Grayson and his wife stay ed quietly in their rooms at the hotel Harley had believed this evening that the nomination of Grayson wat at hand. It was an intuitive sense, a sort of premonition that the battal ions were closing in for the final cT fllct, and he did not doubt the result He had Just returned from a war on the other side of the world, where he had been present as the correspondent of a great New York journal on many battle-fields, and he often noticed this strained, . breathless feeling that the moment had come. Just before the combat was joined. Now this conven-tlon-hall was none the less a battle field though the weapons were bal lotsnot bullets, and Harley believed in his Intuition. At midnight the flood-tide swept im-bearlng Grayson on Its crest, and. when they -saw that he was the .man. everybody flock ed to . him, making the nomination unanimous by a rising vote. Harley now stood a moment at' the door, ' listening to the cheers as they swelled again,- then he stepped out and ran swiftly down the street . A fat policeman, taking him for a fleeing pickpocket, shouted to him to stop, but he flitted by and was gone. It was only two or three blocks to the hotel, where Mr. " Grayson sat quietly in his room, and Harley was running swiftly, but in the minute or two that elapsed much passed through his jnlnd. . After his long stay abroad he had returned with a renewed sense, not j alone of the power and might of his own country but also of Its good ness; It was here, and here alone, that all careers were open to all; nowhere else In -the world could a relatively obscure young lawyer have been put forward, and peacefully, too, for the headship of ninety million people. It was this thought that thrilled Him, and it was why he wished to be the first who should tell the young law yer of it "lie had made the acquaint ance of Jimmy Grayson the day be fore; the two had talked for a while about public questions, and each had felt that it was the beginning of a friendship, so he . had no hesitation now In making ,: himself fan - unan nounced herald, r He ran Into the hotel, darted up the stairway- Jimmy Grayson's rooms were on the first floor- and knocked at the door of the nominee. A light shone from the transom, and he heard a quick, strong step approaching. Then the d?9r was thrown open by 3lr Grayson, himself, and Mrs. Grayson, who stood in the centre of the room. looked with inquiry at the correspond ent. "Why, Mr. Harley, I'm glad to see ou," said Mr. Grayson, with a wel coming tone In his voice. "Come in. but I warn you that you cannot in terview me any further. I'm not worth it; I've told you all I know." Harley said nothing, but stepped into the room, closing the door be-, hind him. lie saw that they yet knevf nothing there had been ho messenger, no telephone call, and the news was his to tell. He bowed to Mrs. Grayson, and then he felt a mo ment of embarrassment but his long experience and natural poise came quickly to his aid. I do want to Interview you, Mr. Grayson," he said, quietly; "and it ; Is upon a subject to which we did not allude In our former talk." Mr. Grayson glanced at his wife. and her look, replying to his. indicat ed the same puzzling state. Both knew that the chief correspondent of one of the greatest journals in the world would not leave a Presidential con vention in the hour of birth to se cure an irrelevant interview. 'If I can serve you, Mr. Harley, I shall be glad to do so," said Jimmy Grayson, somewhat dryly; "but ( I really do not see how I can." i am quite sure that you can. said Harley, with emphasis. He listened a moment but he did not hear any step in the hall nor the singling of any telephone bell. Both Mr. and Mrs. Grayson waited . ex pectantly, curious to see what he had n mind. . "If you were to be nominated for the Presidency, I should like to tell the Gazette what your programme would be that is what sort of a campaign you would conduct," said Harley, deliberately. Idr. Grayson laughed and glanced again at his wife. "It is a wise rule for a man In pub lic life never to answer hypothetical questions; of that I am sure, Mr. Har ley," he said. "I am sure of It, too." said Harley. Jimmy Grayson bit his lip. It seem ed to him that the correspondent would make a Jest and the hour was unfitting. j "I shall answer your question when I am nominated," he said. ; "TheTi you will answer it now said Harley. A sudden flush passed over Mr. Grayson's face and left It wltite. Mrs. Grayson trembled and glanced again t her husband, still in a puzzled itate. . "Tour meaning is not clear, Mr, Harley, he said. . . . ,: . 1 It should be. When 1 left the convention-hall two minutes . ago, they had just made the nomination inanimous. I wished to be the first o tell the news, and I have had my wish." The eyes of the nominee looked straight into those of Harley, but the iorrespondent did not flinch. It was bvloua that he was telling the truth "The notifying committee will be tere in a few minutes," he said. "Ah, I hear their step on the stair now. The treadTJfmen walking quickly and the sound of - voices raised In eagerness came to the room. The powerful figure of Jimmy Grayson rembled slightly, then grew rigid. "I did not. dream of it he said is if to himself; "nor have I now -ought to take it from others." "Nor have you done so," said Har- ey, boldly; "because It belonged to no man." Mrs. Grayson stepped forward, as f In fear that her husband was About to be taken from her, because it that moment the volume of voices ind the trampling increased and oaused at her door. Then the rrowd ou red into the room and hailed the victor. . Harley slipped to one side, and no ne In the committee knew that the tomlnee had been notified already, but he correspondent never . ceased to watch Jimmy Grayson. He saw how he nature pf the man rose to the jreat responsibility that had been put ipon him, how he nerved himself for lis mighty task. He stood among hem all, cool, dignified, and ready. Harley was proud that this was one f his countrymen, and when his last lespatch was filed that night he wired o his editor in New York: 'Please rend me on the campaign with Gray ion. I think it is going to be a great jne.. And back came tne answer; 'Stay with him until it is all over, lection night" - The eyes of Harley, like those of o many of his countrymen, had al ways been turned eastward. To him Kew York was the ultimate expres sion of ' America, and beyond the rreat city lay the Influence of Eu ope, of that Old World to which be onged the most of art and lltera ure. The books that he read were written chiefly by Europeans, and .he remainder by the men of New England and New York. lie had never put It into so many words, even mentally, but he had a definite im pression that the great world of af fairs was composed of central and western Burope and f a half-dozen Vorthern toast States of the American Union; beyond this centre of light lay shadow land, growing darker as the ilstance from the central rays in creased, inhabited by people, worthy no doubt but merely forming a chorus for those who had the speaking parts. : The course of Harley's life confirm ed him in this opinion, which perhaps was due more to literature than to anything else. With his eyes fixed on New York, the desire to go there fol lowed, and when he succeeded, early, and became the correspondent of a great Journal, he was soon immersed In the affairs of that world which seemed the world of action to him; and, being so much occupied thus, he forgot the regions which apparently lay in the shadow, including the great er portion of his own country. Hence the two great Presidential conventions. In each of which Western influences were paramount, and In each of which a Western man was chosen, created upon -him a new and surprising Impression. lie found him self In the presence of unexpected forces; he became aware that there was another way1 of looking at things, and' this powerful sensation I was deepened by the personality of r . t . ... a-.... Mr. Grayson, in wnum io imui lively that there was something fresh. original, altf Strong fie sermed ess and the election would be in the first week of November; before him lay five months of stress and perhaps storm, but he thought of it only with pleasure. -Harley always travelled light, car rying only two valises, and an hour sufficed for his packing. Then, like the old campaigner that he was, he slept soundly, and early . the next morning he went again to the hotel at which the Graysons were staying. He felt a little hesitation In sending up a card, so soon, knowing what swarms of people Mr. Grayson had first breath singular, and yet In the eeond he liked it; the easy give-and-take promoted the smoothness pf life, and men might assume false lvalues, but they were not able to keep them. His thoughts returned for a moment to the least little attache whose man ner was more Important than that of a Presidential nominee. t Harley, with his two valises., was at the station somewhat ahead of time, as he wished to see Mr, , and Mrs. Grayson arrive, curious to know in what sort of state or lack of it they would come. ' i- Mr. Grayson's Intention of going at once to his home was not pumisnea tn the press, and there was only; the or dinary crowd at the station. 1 Some coming, some leaving. but all bearing upon their faces the marks of haste and impatience. As the people hur ried to end fro. the sound of many tongues arose. There was .nearly every accent of Europe, but the Amer ican ros over and enveloped all. Many writers from other lands, seek Ins onlv the bad. had pronounced the Babel coarse, vulgar, and sordid; but Ifarlev. seeking the tood: saw In it men and women tolling 16" better their condition in the world, and that fact he- knew was not bad. Through the station windows he saw the tall buildings rise floor on floor, and there was a clang of car- bells that never ceased. In the fresh morning air It was inspiriting, and Harley felt himself a part of the crowd. He was no hermit Life and hackneyed and more joyous than .the types that he found in the old states of the Union or the Old World, and. because of this, the interest of Har ley, whose mind had a singularly keen and inquiring quality. was aroused; the regions that apparently lay In the shadow might have enough light after all, and, seeing before him campaign not less exciting man a war, he resolved to stay in It until the last battle was fought He took out the telegram from his editor and read it over again with keen satisfaction. "Out of one war and Into another," he murmured. The j activity and the spectacle pleased him conventions had been held early; . it I tilled with hope always pleased him. was now onlv the first week In June. I An ordinary cab arrived, and- Mr. a subsequent residence lo' luo East brushed them away. Thn:wor!d of the West was still, in matff, respects, news to him; ii He ate luncheon In the" inning-car with the Graysons, and hS jjticed the Dupruing joy of the blackT Walter wno served them and t who pbdwed two tows of. white teeth- In a. perpetual smile.

Once his eyes caught those of Mrs.' Grayson, and a faint whimsical smile passed over her face, a smile so infectious, despite Its, faintness, that Harley was compelled to reply in like fashion. It told him that , she understood his constraint and that she, too. felt It but 'Harley doubted whether It was in" like degree, as ho beMpved that In the main wo men are better fitted than men to en- 1 dure such ordeals. Mr. Grayson him self apparently took no notice. Harley returned to their car with , the Graysons, but in the afternoon he (Continued on Pai.

In the hastening crowd they -ere not noticed at first but even In the dusk of the corner the smoothiv shaven face and massive features of Mr. Graysott were soon noticed. His picture had been staring at them all from the front page of the newspa pers, and here was the reality, too like to be overlooked. There was a sudden delay in the crowd; the two been compelled to receive and how j streams, one flowing outward and the badly ne must stand in need ot rest, j other Inward, wavered, then stoppea but there was no help for it I and began to stare at the candidate, While he sat in the huge lobby wait- I not intrusively, but with a kindly cu ing the return of the boy, the hum I rlosity that it considered legitimate. of many voices about him rose al- I Harley had culetly joined the Gray most to a roar, varied bv the rustling I sons, and they gave him a sincere of many newsnaoers. 'The Place was I welcome. The people unfamiliar filled with men, talking over the thrilling events Of the night before, the nomination and the nominee. while every newspaper bore upon its front page a great picture of the new candidate. The boy came back with a mes sage that Mr. Grayson would see him; and Harley, a minute later, was knocking at the door, which the can didate himself opened. This, man, who was his own usher, was the nominee of a great party. he might become the President of the United with his face began to speculate aud Ihlv on his identity. The crowd In the station, reinforced from many side doors, thickened, and Mr. and Mrs. Grayson, under the gaze of so many eyes, became uneasy and shv. Harlev. who had been made a member of their party, found himself sharing this awkward feeling, and ne was glad to hear the announcement that the train was ready. The three abreast moved towards the gate, and the crowd opened a way ust wide enough, down wnicn xney marched, still under the human .bat States-of ninety million people, of thousand eVel To Harley. what was In nearly every material sense, the first power in the world; and yet Harley, when In , Europe, seeking information from the young est and least attache bf a legation, had been compelled to go through an Infinite amount of form and flummery. The contrast was lasting. "Come tn." said Mr. Grayson, cour teously, and Harley at once acted upon the Invitation. Mrs. Grayson, at the same moment came from the Inner room, quiet and self-contained, and Harley bowed with respect I dare say there Is nothing you although little of this gaze was meant for him, the sensation was inaescriDa ble. It was something to be an ob lect of so much furiosity, but the thrill was more than of fset by the weight that It put upon one's ease of manner. . He saw many of the people It was a curious manifestation reach out and touch the candidate's sleeve lightly as he passed. But Mr. Gray son, if he knew it took no. notice and marched straight ahead, all expres slon discharged from his face. Harley saw that this was the disguise e'ml- wish to ask me hlch a lady ahould I nent public men must' assume upon not hear." said McT Grayson with a 1 occasions, and he was " 'willing that they should keep the task; slight smile. , "Mrs. Grayson Is my chief political adviser." "it is no secret" replied Harley, also smiling. "I have merely come to tell you that the Gazette, my pa per, has Instructed me to keep watch over you from now until election night and to describe at once and at great length for its readers every one of your wicked deeds. So I am here to tell you that I wish to go along with you. You are public property, you know, and you can't escape," "I know that" said Jimmy Gray son, heartily; "arid I do not seek to escape. I am glad the representative of the Gazette is to be you. I do not know what course your paper will take, but I am sure that we shall be friends." "The Gazette is independent; Its editor is likely to attack you for some things and to praise you for others. But I am here to tell the news."; Then we are comrades for a long Journey," said Jimmy Grayson. Thus it was settled simply and easily by the two who were most con cerned, and Harley throughout the little interview was struck by the dlf- When tha greal iron gate leading to his train was closed behind him Harley feU a mighty sense of relief. It seemed, to him that he had rcn guantlet not much inferior to that through T?hich the Indians put the captive backwoodsmen, and the dark red 'walls of the car rose before him a fortress of safety It was an ordinary Pullman, and Mr. and Mrs. Grayson had not se cured the drawing-room, but the usual berths like Harley's and he Joined them in their seats. He felt now a certain pleasure 'in the situa tion. The pressure of circumstances was making him. In a sense and for the time being, a member of their family. He was glad that the other correspondents would wait to Join the candidate at his home, as it gave him a greater chance to establish those personal relations needful on a long campaign that must be made to getner. The whistle blew, the train moved and they passed through miles of city, and then through suburbs grow Ing thinner, untir- they melted away into the clean, green prairie, and .Har other famous men with whom in the course of business he had held Jour nalistic dealings. Here was a lack bf conventionality, and an even stronger note of simplicity and freshness. The candidate; with his new honors, still held himself as one bf the people. It never occurred to him that he might assume a pose and the public would accept It; he was de mocracy personified, and he was such because he was unconscious of it His perfect freedom of manner, which Harley had not liked af first now became more attractive. . "We leave at eleven o'clock for my home," said Mr.. Grayson.- "and arrive there tomorrow morning. I have some preparations to make, but I shall begin the campaign a day or two later." - "I Intend to go with you to your town." said -Harley. "You know the compact; I cannot let you out of my sight" Mrs. Grayson, a grave, quiet wo man, spoke for the first time. "You shall come along, not merely as a sentinel, but as one of our lit tle party, If you will, on one condi tion," she said. ' "What Is that?" "On condition that you come to our house and take dinner with us to morrow." Harley gave her a grateful look. He felt that the candidate's wife ap proved of him, and hevliked the ap proval of those who evidently knew how to think. And It would be far pleasanter to travel with Jimmy Gray son as a friend than as one suspected. "I am honored, Mrs. Grayson," he said, "and I shall be happy to come." Then he left them, and when he passed Into the hall he saw that the burden of greatness was being thrust already upon the Grayson family, as callers of various types and with va rious recurs ts were seeking their rooms. But he hurried back to his own hotel, and a It was some dis tance away he took the street ' car. There he wai confronted by , long rows of newspapers which hid the faces of men. end whenever a front page was turned towards him the open countenance of Mr. Grayson looked out at him with smiling eyes. Everybody was reading an account of the convention, end now and then they discussed It; they spoke of the candidate familiarly; he was "Jimmy" Grayson to them rarely did they call him Mr. Grayson: but there was no disrespect or dlsesteem In their use of i the diminutive "Jimmy." They merely regarded him as one of them selves, and their position in the mat ter differed in no wise from that ot Mr. Grayson: it was a matter of course with both. To Harley, fresh from other lands, It seemed In the ference between this man and many I Icy. opening the , window, ' was glad to breathe the unvexed air that came across a thousand miles of the West lie leaned back In his seat and lux urlously watched the quietly rolling country, tender' with the breath of spring, as It spun past That mighty West of which ho had thought so lit tie seemed to reach out with its arms and invite him. and he was glad to SO. v.' Presently he was aware of an unu sual movement of people down the aisles of the car, accompanied by a certain slowing or tne pace when they passed the seats in which the ' Gray sons and he sat They were coming from, the other cars, too, and now and then the aisle would chokotip a lit tie, but in a moment the shiftinsr fls: ures would relieve it and the endless procession of faces moved on. The Graysons. . following Harley's example, were gazing out of the twin dow at the cheerful country, but the correspondent knew that Mr. Grayson was fully conscious of this human stream, and that he himself was th cause of It Yet he lost none of his good temper even when some, ventur ing further, asked If he were not the nominee, adding that it was pride to them to meet him and speak to mm. in fact the change from si lence to conversation was arellef to Mr. Grayson, varying the monotony or mat nxea gaze to which he had V a. a . - ueen suujei'ieu so long, ana it was how that Harley saw, him in a most favorable guise. .'His .consciousness or a great talent did not interfere with a perfect Democracy; it did hot cause mm to assume an air that said to - these people, "I am better than you, keep your, distance," but he gave the r Impression of ability .solely through his simplicity of manner and tne ease with which-he adapted him self to the caliber of the person who spoke to him. . ! Thus the train swung westward hour after hour, and the procession through the car never ceased. - The manner of the candidate did not change; however weary he may have grown, . he was always affable, but not gushing, and Harley, watching keenly, judged that the impression; he made was always favorable. He strove, too, to Interpret this manner and to reed the mind behind it-Was Mr. Grayson really great or merely a man or ready speech and .pleasing ad dress? Harley was willing to admit that the latter were qualities-in them selves not far from great but on the main contention he reserved his Judgment He was still divided in his opinions, sometimes approving the complete democracy of the candidate and sometimes condemning. He had been born In the South, in a . border State, and he grew up there amid many of the forms and formalities of the old school, and the associations of youth are not easily lost Nor had, S-r-f aW M--Z.
