It ia not necessary to Include tbe names of the amall stock- boldera ' whose position was perfectly well known to us, nor of tboae whose proxies were beld either by Kelvin or myself. The event proved that we were tight aboat this matter to the last bare. Therefore tbe list may be given tn tbla form: . HARRINGTON.' . ' John Harrington AIM Donaldson .

Jim Bunn ' differed from ns very widely. He be ' Ileved that of tbe 850 shares which I bad credited to Kelvin In the above .table at least one-half would go to us. - 1 UrUslmaalng- the result of the election sure. I don't know bow he could ao far decelvo blmaelf, but be was per fectiv sincere In hia opinion and pet' j silted in crediting us with the votes of men who were as sure to vote tbe Kel vin ticket j as ' Kelvb ywga! himself. ' ' Among them were two members of tbe '" .resent directory of tbe company. It was tbry who bad objected to; moving ' tbe office, as I mentioned somewhere in the early part of tbia narrative.. It will be remembered that Donald bad 'mode a startling prediction to re gard to Bunn and that it bad been rer- . ifled by Bunn's redemption of bis stock which bad stood In my name. But I . bad received , Bunn's solemn pledgf that this stock should not pass out of nnnt.nl n! 4 Vi .... h ..la tm nnft. ff.A " that It should never be voted against '. lurv ur was n .ivn .uuiuri vi it-vuiu - at the date prescribed, before the elec tion, and I counted upon blm with tbe same certainty -that I counted upor Donaldson or Archer. , ; ; ; when my table bad been made up - and sufficiently discussed.:! showed If .-' to Donald.

By HOWARD FIELDING In a very small envelope I put it Into my waistcoat pocket . ; , In tbe course of tbe next day or two I bad several opportunities for exerting my powers of persuasion upon Mr. Isaac Tborndyke. , He waa evasive, but hia Intent waa clear. ' The man could be counted absolutely with the Kelvin party. What Inducements Kelvin of fered blm I have never learned, but I have suspected that they consisted In promises to Invest money In a crazy In vention which Tborndyke controlled and in which he bad Just .sense enough not to sink all bis own money. - No change occurred in the situation up to the day before the election. . On tbe afternoon of tuat day Donald and I were walking along tbe business street of Tunbridge. where most of tbe stores are and the principal hotel, a sorry place of entertainment I regret to say. Aa we approached It I saw Detective Gillespie come out ' He paused upon the edge of the upper step, and I no ticed that be was a trine unsteady, as If under the Influence of drink. I bad had no Interview with this man since the day when be bad made his extraordinary and ; baseless charge against Donaldson. I knew tbat be had remained In town, and I bad tak en some pains to make sure tbat he waa not repeating bis accusation. . Had be done so I should bare made trouble for him. But so far as I could Judge his main business was to drive about the town in a light top buggy and look mysterious. , ' Tbe vehicle In question was standing before tbe door of tbe bote!.: and tbe horse was fastened to an Iron bitching post As we approached tbe spot from one aide Kelvin and Tborndyke came cp from the other, so that It seemed likely that there would be a rather in teresting encounter before tbe door of the hotel y . Ufllespi remained, poised ..ubon the ctep. ; and as we came near Donald bowed to htm .... - I Aba. the wonder-boy T, said Gilles pie, r What sort pf weather are we going to have next Christmasf The. weather Is fine today," replied i Donald, pausing. "Be content with! that". ... -i v ' - ''' :. Gillespie turned to me. - Tw got aome Interesting facta for yon. Mr. Harrington." said be. K "They wont please your young friend there very much." " , 4 ' x "1 would suggest that this is hardly the place to disclose them," said L "Ke," he answered, "and I'm not quite ready yet ; ' - " "That was he trouble with you the other day." said I injudiciously. I "You fired off the gun before it waa loaded." It la a fault of mine that I am al ways impatient with a drunken man. Nothing else makes me o angry as foallsbnesa, and at tbe of all fol lies stands Inebriation, ibis occa sion Gillexpie was seized with tbe sud den and absurd anger wblcb often marka a certain stage of Intoxication. if you want me to talk right here." said be. "I'll show the whole business up. -I'm dead on to this boy. i I cuu tell you hi whole game from A to Z, A crowd was collecting. Kelvin and Tborndyke had stopped and were In terested pectators. 1 caught a glimpse of Donald out of the corner of my eye mi 99w iiiai ne was paie who some strong emotion, which I Judged to be wrath, though it war really mere tni- ery, aa 1 afterward learned. "Why don't you go wu?" said he to Gillespie. , "Tell what you know here and now." - , "Tomorrow will do," said the detec tive, beginning to descend the step. n oinorr.) w ni , come to see you at your oUce, Mr, Harrington." "I shan't be there." said I. u "Then I'll bnd you over to the Junc- f.on." be rejoined. "Ob, 1 shant hare say trouble ia keeping track of you tomorrow." , ' Donald stepped forward Into tbe man's path I saw that some unusual Impulse was upon the boy. and It af fected me with a peculiar thrill. I had often seen him show the ss me aspect but never with auch Intensity. Prank Gillespie." said be. -if jou have anything to say upon this mat ter speak now. Tomorrow will be too late. If you wait till then. I warn you tbat yen will not speak at all. Now Is ym:t time, and there Is uo other." : He extended his right hand and torched (iillexpie upon the breast over the heart. He has declared since then tbt the g-.-Hture was entirely acciden tal, that be was wholly una ware of It. And I think tbat Is one of the (strongest points In tbe case.

Aat Ban-Han View ml Its Power, Aa tkorltr Perfonaaaea, The senate has played a' very great part in American history, and, on the whole, the tremendous power and au thority wielded by tbe senate have been well exercised. The majority of the senators are statesmen of great polit ical ability as well as men of high,char acter. i i : There are few sights in tbe political world on either side of tbe Atlantic more impressive than tbe senate tn ses sion. The sense not only of a very high standard of personal capacity, but of the Immense powers which it wields, seems to pervade the assembly.' Tbe smallness of their numbers, tbe fact that they are armed with authority which is executive as well as legisla tive and tbe knowledge tbat they rep resent not mere localities, but states. in their corporate capacity,, and states which are often as populous as Euro pean kingdoms, naturally fill each indi vidual senator with the sense of per sonal 'distinction. A United States sen ator la a very great man, and he knowa It and the senate, as ar whole, ia in tensely conscious and proud Of, the might majesty and dominion which it wields.' To make a comparison, it mat ters very ' little what an Individual member of tbe British bouse of com mons thinks and means to do. still less what an individual British peer thinks and means to do on any given subject out it matters a very great aeai wnat a single United States senator thinks and means to do. ' ' The senate can, veto every appoint ment made by the president- whether the man . nominated ' for office be a Judge of the supreme court or an am bassador or merely a collector of cus toms'. Again tbe senate can, by efus- from the lower bouse, no matter whether the bill Is concerned with the j raiHiDg or apenumg or money or wiu alterations In tbe law. Lastly, not majority, but any minority which nuin-1 Dera over a luira oi wie senate can re- fuse to ratify any treaty presented for rauncnuon py tne presiuent. Anus tne executive can make no binding treaty with any foreign power unless It can obtain ' a two-thirds majority in the senate. In other words, the senate can say the final word not only in regard to all legislation, but in regard to all finance, all appointments to high office and to foreign affairs of tbe nation. lAndon Spectator. - - , ' ' . . darloaa Haat.
