speaker phrased it, "profligate"-pig. way
Sir George Itedworthy, who had repre- e
riented the constituency in the con- a ra
s-ervative interest for fifteen years, felt him
that he had his work cut out and he wit
buckled to like a man. It was annoy
ing to be interrupted at such a time by
domestic questions; but love, which or s

Dorothy D)ithford, the rector's daugh- side

wife at an early date, subject to his ditc

in the library after breakfast, and that

with a beating heart to see what she
could do. She was a great favorite
with the old gentleman, but he had
never before regarded her in the light
of a future daughter-in-law; tima flies.
and he had always thought her a child.
After ten minutes' talk with her he
knew that if she was only just out of
her teens she was certainly a child no
longer.
"Well, my little girl," he said, good
humoredly, "if I get in again, and the
party is in power, 1 dare say I can get
them to give Dick something to keep
him going till I am under the daisies.

looking up. "If I keep my seat, inl

And that afternoon she went into the T
village with a sheaf of leaflets in her Cr
hand, and failed miserably when ei
heckled on topics of the very existence or
of which she had never heard before. ci
As a matter of fact. she won votes for
the sqluire without knowing it, but she
was nearly crying at what shie thought a
vwas her want of success, when she C
met Dick Redworthy as she came out n
o! thelast cottage. She felt better
after leaving him, and better still p
when she had had a gallop after tea. h
It may be mentioned that the downs t
of South llIkshire are free to every- i
one, and there was nothing surprising c
in Dick Redworthty taking a ride there,
too.
It was a tug of war with a vengeance,
and there were many interests to be
considered'. "Sir George's ticket atI

one day in liottenham, borne by a doz- 1
en sandwich men, with all the small I
tradesmen rushing to their doors to 1
look at it. "Ask Mrs. Clink where she I
got her red silk stockings,"' was the
counterblast which brought matters I
level. Dorothy Ditchford had met the I
radical candidate's wife in the "hosiery
department" at the stores a few days
after it was known that Mr. Clink
would stand and that scarlet would be
his color, and Dorothy had an observ

three days and she saw herself dis- I
tinctly reflected by the belles of Rot

done the parish she went further
afield, and the rectory pair did some

days. "They all say they think they'll
