"Don't you think we'd better keep Mr. Slade busy In come other way. Strickland repeated. I 'I don't," Merritt flung back over his shoulder as be left the room, fol lowed, as usual, by Hunt. Merritt'B hasty departure was the signal for Katherine to adjust her wraps and remark: "We must be late for Trietan." Hayes followed her. I must see you alone, Katherine. You're still free there's no foreigner on the scene, is there, Katherine?" "Boh," Katherine's voice was sweet but firm. "I don't think I shall ever marry now " "Oh, nonsense," ha protested. "No," even more positively, '"The more I see of men but wnate tne use? There never was but one man I could have got on with, and I didn't happen to live'in his time." "Who' was the boy?" Hayes asked. lightly. "Strange," Katherine replied, pen sively, "I've Just been talking about him Napoleon Bonaparte." "Oh, Lord that fellow." Hayes was much relieved. "Can I have tomor row evening?" "Yes If you yes tomorrow eve ning. Bob." Her voice lingered a bit on the Bob, and with quick impulsiveness Hayee caught her hand and kissed It. In another minute she had turned to Slade. "Oh, Mr. Slade, won't you let me make a head of you?" "A head of me?" Slade repeated in surprise. "Think it over," Katherine sug gested, as she and her father went out, leaving Hayes and Slade watching her proud, graceful figure until it disap peared from view. Slade looked critically at Hayes for a moment or two after the girl had gone. "Oh, now I remember," he suddenly exclaimed. "You're the chap ehe gave up for Paris a long time ago?" "When she was twenty-one and I was twenty-four and six feet one inch of a western lawyer, just out of the woods. How does Mrs. Slade take to this governorship business?" be fin ished, abruptly. "She doeen't take to it." Slade'a voice was hard. ' "I was afraid she wouldn't" "Well, nobody's going to stand in my way." A malignant light showed In his eyes, "My boy, I'm out to win." In spite of the fact that he was In full evening attire, he thrust his hands into his pockets and almost etrutted about the room. "I outgeneraled that crcwd here tonight. By God, I did! Do you know ?" He paused In his walk and looked down on Hayes six feet sprawled over one of the brocaded chairs "there's just a little drop of that fellow Napoleon Bonaparte In me!" ' "Napoleon Bonaparte got on by leaving a woman behind," Hayes re turned, seriously, refusing to enter into Blade's spirit of self-satisfied good humor. "You mind your own d n business. Bob," Slade turned on him, suddenly. "All right I'm off to the opera. I only meant that Napoleon was a bad boy for you to follow,- because he treated his first wife like a dirty dish rag. That's why I'm glad that second little Austrian hussy paid him back. That's all. I love Mrs. Slade. When I was Elck with fever In your mining camp she was a mother to me." "Don't forget that I made you," Slade reminded him. "I," and . he tapped bis cnest. I gave you your chance." ."I don't All the same I'd hate to see you elected, because of Mrs. Slade. It seems to be the regular thing, be coming universal, for a very success ful man to leave home the minute he's on his feet Good night" "One minute. Bob. You've given me a lot of good advice. Ill give you 6ome. Are you in love with that girl?' "Yes," Hayes grunted; "good night Is that all?" "No;" Slade paused, watching Hayes through narrowed eyelids. "That girl needs a large pie with every one of her fingers In it Bob, I'm sorry for you. Your pie Isn't big enough." "Well lfe my pie. Good night" and he was gone. After Hayes had gone, Slade eat, his arms resting on the table, staring into space. Every now and then the cor ners of his mouth came down and his eyes narrowed. He was thinking of Katherine Strickland1 and Hayes. That woman for Hayes! Hayes must be a presumptuous pup to ever think of winning that queen. Such women were meant for the kings of the earth not for their hirelings. - . Suddenly Blade's eyes lighted with the fire of decision. His mouth be came a firrn straight line ofdeter- mlriatlon. There7 vas something Im placable and grim in his very attitude as the reeolve to win Katherine Strick land became fixed In his mind. He longed to hurry after her1 to tell her of his decision to fight. If not with, then for her. He was eager to show her just how much they two together could make out of life, a big, fine fight for position and power. Even the thought of being governor was left in the distance as plan after plan raced through his mind, of greater conquests and bigger achievements, possible only with a woman like Kath erine Strickland for his wife. So ab sorbed and intense were his thoughts of the future with her for the moment he forgot completely the woman who for 30 years had kept her place as, h?3 wfe. In a his dealing? he had never considered obstacles, except to sweep them from bis path. As he remem bered the present and. Mary, he never Hesitated or faltered from bis newly made resolution. Mary could go It alone. He would see that 6he had everything that money could buy. He would make her comfortable and take care of her. That she should be further considered never entered his mind. Always ruthless in his methods, he was equally cruel even when the obstacle to his advancement was a fragile little woman who had given him the best of her love and years and who would gladly have laid down her life to save his. It was not as If a sudden flame of intensive, overwhelming love for Kath erine Strickland had surged through his heart It was nothing as decent or as fine or as blameless as that His whole attitude toward the girl was one of cold-blooded acquisition. He had determined to have her just as he had determined only last week to out bid every other man at the rug auc tion. He wanted her to take a place in his life because he knew what her value would be to him. He wanted her beauty, her brain, her savoir falre, as bo many stepping stones by which to mount higher and higher in the affairs of the state and the nation. In spite of the fact that he criticized his wife's lack of social graces, he was wise enough to know that he was far from a finished product himself. In spite of himself, traces of the par venu occasionally showed through the veneer of bluff and arrogance. With a wife like Katnerine ne would soon come to know all the fine points of the social game. A wife like Katherine would cover up a multitude of his lit tle sins of commission and omission. - in -Tii niwiiini j "Go Ahe?d Ufi Vour Paper, I'll Take My Chances." like an eager child who has been re pressed. "No," Slade replied, briefly and with out much interest Mary breathed a quick sigh of relief. "Ah, then, we'll have a nice, quiet, pleasant evening," she declared, add ing coaxingly : "Let's go upstairs and have a game of euchre. We haven't played for ever so long." Slade looked at her, hi3 eyes drawn Into a deep frown. It was true he wasn't angry with her, but he was angry at the thwarting circumstances that were hemming him in. Her very manner Irritated him now her quiet contentment her calm acceptance of her failure to meet his guests and fill her plate as mistress of his home mad dened him. He was all the more de termined to fight for something else to begin his campaign for a governor ship and another woman that moment (Continued on Page 3, Section 3) - Lexington Races.

Slade wanted Katherine Strickland for his wife much the same as he would have desired a wealthy, clever, influential man for a partner. It was to be a union of ambition. There was no tenderness in his thoughts of her. He was actuated purely and simply by the ust for power and the greed of glory. AU the softer, better things in the man's nature were swamped by this torrent of craving for worldly suc cess that was sweeping him on to com mit the most dastardly act in his long career of -trampling over the heads and hearts of adversaries and oppo nents. Even when he was a boy Dan Slade had always set hie teeth at "You can' do it" or "It can't be done." The very difficulty of a thing strengthened his determination to do. All his life long his success had been punctuated by the ruin of other men. He had not advanced so far without pushing other men back. Now that a woman instead of a man stood In the way, the result was the same. His methods might be quieter, more merciful, but the answer would be the same. Mary's sterling worth, her long years of devotion and sweet tenderness counted for nothing once he became convinced that Mary's dowdiness, her standpat policy and her arrested development were stop-gaps In bis- own opportunity for progres sion. He ignored the fact that the lit tle brown-eyed, patient woman was as much a part of him as were his eyes or his arms or any other very essen tial part of his being. . It was at Just this point In Blade's pitiless reasoning that Mary, peering over . the baluster and . seeing him alone, hurried down the stairs. "Thank goodness, they've gone," she declared as she came into the room. Then seeing the numerous side lights burning she hastened to turn one after the other down to a glimmer. "I'm'so glad you're not going out" she went on, coming over to him and rub bing her cheek against his sleeve. The little movement was a pathetically mute appeal for some caress. "What'd they say?" she asked, suddenly, as she realized that her tender yearning met with no response). - . But her husband was in no com municative frame of mind. . "You're not mad with me, are yer?" ehe questioned, wistfully, very much Our Best Seller. We are selling more of Meritol Eczema Remedy than all the others put together.
