She goes home to break the newt while her bridegroom, "Stretch" Willoughby, proceeds to the Montana .ranch u-here he works, to prepare a home for her. The news of Mary's cowboy elopement is a bitter blow to her father, who fears the effect on the public and on'boss Henderson, political bigwig who is coining to a reception at the Judge's home which will' decide his political fate. Mary promisee to keep her marriage a secret until after the reception. Chapter Rva Stretch, In * stale of high excitement, busied himself about the ranch. It was the day when Mary had said she would join him, and son the train from the East was almost due. He poked his nose through the switch house kitchen door. 'Ma! Ma Hawkins!"

Ma Hawklna handed It to him and watched him while he read It. He alowly crumpled it, no longer playful, and throw It away. "It's from Mary," ho aaid alowly. "8he ain't com In' today.

But here they a]) were at lairt, sitting about the J udges festive table?the self-important members of the National Committee and their even more self-important wives. And at Mary's right hand sat Oliver Wendell Henderson, the boss supreme, who could make or break an aspirant for office. At Mary's other side sat her beloved Uncle Hannibal, a debonair college professor, aging In years but young in spirit, whimsically cynical at hla brother's Presidential ambitions, but sympathetic Just the same because the Judge 'see, after all. hla brother.

'* x "Your father," Henderson was saying gallantly to Mary, "has magnificent qualities, but I must admit I was never aware of them until I met you." "Mr. Henderson, you're a dangerous mat!?' coquetted Mary. "Enough to turn any girl's head," put In Ames, one of her father's campaign advisers. "Oh, no," prounced Henderson, "not this one. If all the young ladies in. the country were as safe , and sane as Mary I'd feel a little ? more secure about our future!" In the adjacent kitchen Katie, the cook, was perspiring over the dinner, aided by her friend Elly. It was only her long schooling in surprises that prevented Katie from dropping the platter of filets mlgnons when Stretch marched into the room through the back door of the house. "W-w-well! Wb-what do yon want?" "Hello. Where's my wife? Where's Mary?" "Oh. Kr?she ain't here." "Guess she's upstairs," said Stretch, looking around. "Will you tell her I'm here?Just got ia town. I was worried about here, so I thought I'd come and take her home." "She don't work here any more," said Elly, the .quick thinker. Stretch, more concerned than ever, demanded to know where Mary lived. But Mary, it seemed, was very close-mouthed about such things. Then Stretch had an Idea. lowly. 'Ik* miml nwH'.?
