CHAPTER XVIII.
Something to Live Up To.
' ' Oormly was usually an early riser;
but on the morning before election
day he slept until an unprecedented
late hour. He was utterly worn out
with the strain of the campaign, any
way, and the occurrences of this last
nlfht had almost prostrated htm.
There was ordinarily nothing much to
be done on the next day, the Monday
preceding election day. One final
meeting was scheduled for Monday
night, and that was all.
It was perhaps nine o'clock when
he woke up. He was soon bathed and
dressed. He had signaled, as was his
ustom, at the proper time for the
serving of his simple breakfast. It
was ready for him when he entered
the dining room. . Somes was there
in attendance as usual A pile of
morning papers lay on the buffet.
Oormly made a step toward them; but
checked himself.
"Why,' he thought, "should I spoil
my breakfast by reading what the
newspapers have to say on the Im
portant subject of my confession? The
news will keep. Let me at least eat
In peace."
"Beg pardon, sir," began Somes
deferentially; "but aren't you going to
look over the papers, sir, before you
at?"
"No, thank you, Somes. I can guess
pretty well what they will say."
But Somes was unusually per
sistent as well as greatly agitated.
He had been up early and had read
tvery Bcrap In every paper.
"I hope you'll excuse me, Mr. Gorm
ly, sir," he began; "but I really think
j It'll add to your appetite If you will
at least look over The Planet, sir."
Gormly shook his head and frowned
a little. . . . .,..
"That will do. 'Somes!" he said
' somewhat shortly. ' "I will see the pa
pers later." I
After this somewhat peremptory re
mark, the man naturally . subsided,
though his Interest and excitement
were plainly visible In his nervous
movements. He was usually the most
delightfully cool and imperturbable of
attendants.
"You mustn't take this thing so
greatly to heart, Somes," said Gormly
at last.
"Indeed, sir," returned the man,
"we're all so set on having you elect
ed, and other things, sir, that" -
What he was going to say remained
unsaid, for ' with that delightful op
portuneness which can easily be com
passed by chroniclers of such vera
cious tales, I now am pleased to re
cord that the bell of the door of the
apartment cut across the further
revelations of Somes with a loud,
' clear ring. ' ' ' '
' "See who It is, Somes," said Gormly
indifferently. 1 -- ' '
"It's been ringing all morning, sir,"
said the man, turning to leave the
room. "There's been the greatest
crowd of people here, reporters and
newspaper men, and Mr. Watson, and
a number of gentlemen who are cam
paigning for you, and the : street's
racked with people outside, too."
"Is my friend the chief of police
there?"
"No, sir. ' But there's a squad of of
ficers under a sergeant, and they're
making people thut haven't any busi
ness go on." '
"Well, see who It Is this time," said
Gormly as the bell rang again.
Somes was back In a few minutes.
"It's the Janitor, sir. He says the
reception room down stairs and the
hall's filled with people asking to see
you. He Bays the tenants of the build
ing can't get in or out, and he wants
to know what to do."
Gormly glanced at the clock. It was
half-past nine.
"Tell them that I will see them all
at the store In the auditorium at half
past ten," he replied. "Tell them it's
useless to wait here now; that I can't
see anybody at present."
Gormly heaved a deep sigh as he
finished his breakfast. "Well," ho
thought, "I have to face them, and per
haps the sooner the better. Now, for
the papers."
lie looked around for Somes; but
that functionary had not yet appeared.
He pushed back his chair, rose, walked
over to the buffet, and picked up the
first one. Somes had been careful to
see that the top of the pile and tho
place of honor was occupied by The
v. New York Planet. From the head
lines, Gormly saw, as he supposed he
would, that his letter and the accom
panying story covered the entire first
page. He had scarcely glanced at it
when Somes re entered the room, If
possible in greater agitation than ever.
"Beg pardon, sir," he began, his
usual method of address.
"Well, what Is It?"
"There's two people In the drawing
room asking to see you."
"But I thought I gave you orders
not to admit anybody, to tell every-
body that I would see. them at the
Man
auaitonum in tne store at half past
ten?"
"Yea, ir, you did, fir. But I coul "n't ,
very we'l keep these reoili? o-.il." j
"To ! trem I am o'lty, sr . rr

"Peg r-i"don, i;r." s"!i I
agr.tn; "but really. Mr. Gorm'y, if j
you'll excuse me, sir, tMs presump- ';
Hon, yen must Bee them." I
"Are you mad?" askel Gormly. I
"Nearly, sir," answered the valet
truthfully.
Gormly looked at hlra curiously.
There was so much excitement and
nervousness in the man's manner, and
yet it seemed to be a rather cheerful
excitement, too, that it seemed to
presage something of Importance. At
any rate, after a moment's reflection,
the merchant decided from the
strangeness of the situation that he
would see the people mentioned.
As Gormly entered the sunny, cheer
ful drawing room, the occupants roso
to greet blm. One was young Hal
dane, the other was his sister. Hal
dane was intensely excited. He rushed
at Gormly with the enthusiasm of a
boy; grasped bis hand, and wrung it
frantically.
"It's all right." he shouted. "It's
turned out better than anybody could
have expected. It's killed the opposi
tion dead. Everybody is for you now."
' Gormly heard him as in a dream.
He allowed him to shake his hand as
he might have shaken a pump handle,
could thatanclent and useful article
have been found in New York. He
was looking with all his soul in his
glance at Eleanor Haldane, who had
not come forward, but stood by the
chair in which she had sat, her hands
tightly clasping the low back of it.
The color that had flooded ber face
when she first saw him had subsided
almost as quickly as it had come. She
was very pale and trembling.
Thoughts,, strange, bewildering,
rushed through Gormly's mind. What
could Miss Haldane be doing there?
What did she want? Why had she
come? She had heard of the lncl-
Then at Last He Understood.
dent. He remembered that her broth
er had taken her one copy of his let
ter last night. What did ber pres
ence mean?
"I just came down here," continued
young Haldane, "to tell you these
things to relieve your anxiety, and to
bring Eleanor. She wanted to see
you about well, , you know about
what, of course, and " .
, Gormly did not know at all; but he
aodded vaguely.
"Of course, by this time you've read
11 about it in The Planet. That old
miner came in like a scene In a play.
It was perfectly splendid, and I sup
pose," he looked meaningly at his sis
ter, his glance calling the color once
more to her cheek, "that you have
read the other communication, which
Is scarcely less Important.
Gormly stared at him In utter
amazement.
"I must say," he continued mis
jhlcvously, "that for a man who Is
getting everything he wants ns you
are, you are singularly undemon
strative about it."
"Mr. Gormly." Interposed tho wom
an, "I don't ' believe that you have
read the morning papers?"
"Not yet, Miss Haldane."
"Oh!" cried the girl In great dis
may. "By Jove!" exclaimed the young
man, "to think of it! I should have
had the flm copy from the press
brought to me if I had been in your
place. Well, then, I'll tell you the
whole story. Or you've got it in The
Planet and you can read it yourself.
We'll excuse you while you glance
over it; won't we sis?"
"I don't understand," said Gormly,
lifting the paper slowly. He had not
yet taken his eyes off Miss Haldane.
"On second thoughts," said the
young man, "I guess Eleanor had bet
ter tell you herself. If you'll excuse
me, you two, for a few moments, I'll
go Into the library." '
"Livingstone!" cried the girl im
ploringly; but her brother only
laughed as he left the room, carefully
cloning the door behind him.
"What Is it that I am to be told,
Miss Haldane?" asked Gormly, step
ping toward her, paper still In hand.
Miss Haldane was in a dilemma.
She had been surprised when he had
entered tne room that uorraiy had
'not greeted her differently. Her posi
tion was a tremendously dlfllcult one
at best, and his failure to read the
paper had rendered it almost insup
portable. , "I think," she faltered at last, "that
I had better go. You can see me later
In the day, and"
"No," said Gormly resolutely, "yoo
must not o yet. You came down here
for some purpose. That fact that I j
have not read the rr-era seems to;
have affected you strangely. If you'
will give me five minutes, I can loo!
them over and perhars obtain soma'
clue to your conduct; but I would
rather you would tell me what It Is, I
do what you were going to do, say!
what you were going to say when you '
came in, than try to find out from the
newspapers."
"Don't you want to hear what they
say about you?"
"I had rather hear what you hava
to say than anything in the world,
and I want to tell you first of all what
comfort, what pride, what satisfac
tion, I take in your presence here. I
know you read the miserable story.
Your brother had my permission to
tell It to you last night, if you were
awake."
"I was awake and waiting for htm."
, "Your iuterest does me much hon
or," continued the man, "and that you
have come to me now this morning Is,
at I say, the greatest thing that could
happen to me. I don't really care now
what the world thinks. You have
given me evidence enough that you
still respect me."
"You don't know all the evidence
yet." said the woman faintly.
She forced herself to look at him,
If she had consulted her inclinations,
she would have run away; but that
could not be.
"Yes," said Gormly vaguely, scarce
ly noting her low voiced statement,
"Now that It is all over and now thai
I have lost you, If Indeed it is proper
to say I had lost what I had nevei
possessed and never could have pos.
sessed, you will understand that it
was this Incident to which I alluded
when you said you respected me be
cause I had been a perfectly Btralgh',
square man. Your words cut me to
the heart; not because I wasn't
straight or square now or that I had
not made what amends I could for thq
actions of a boy and a fool since I had
become a man, but because after this
I could never persuade you or any
one that I had not always been so,
and because I could not bear to have
even your respect on a false pretense.
I wanted to tell you many times, and
you know of course that if things had
shaped themselves differently and you
could have cared for me, I should
have told you the whole story before
I allowed you to say you would be
come my wife." , j
! , "I am sure that you would have
done so, Mr. Gormly," said tho girl. ;
, '. "And that you have come here to
give me that assurance, to show me
that you have not lost confidence In
me in spite of the frightful tangle in
our affairs, my antngnnlsra to your-r-to
the Gotham Freight Traction com
pany and then this. That I take it
was your purpose in coming?"
"Yes," faltered the girl, "that,
and"
"What more?" asked the man.
"Whatever it Is, If It is in my power
to give it, It is yours. What Is it
that you want?"
The woman opened her mouth to
speak. S'?e moistened her Hps. Words
apparently were difficult, perhaps im
possible. "What Is It that you want, Misj
Haldane?" asked Gormly again.
"I want you!" she said in her low,
clear voice. '
Gormly lifted his hand and stared
at her.
"You want me!" he faltered.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean to be your' wife," was the
direct answer.
"My wire!",
.' "Yes. That is, if you still want
me." '.'r'.
Gormly stared at her in amazsment
"' "Do I understand aright?" said the
man, shutting his teeth together.
"After all that is in the paper this
morn'ug, do you mean to say that you
will ?narry me?"
"I do mean Just that," was the an
swer. "But," said the man, "you Bald you
did not love me, and" '
"Must I do all the wooing?" cried
the girl passionately.
"You offered yourself to me once
before," went on Gormly relentlessly.
, "And you refused me. Will you do
so again?"
"Why do you come to me now?"
"Can't vou think of the reun"
"l don't want to tMnii; I want to
hear." '
, "I love you then," said the girl
resolutely. "You are the bravest,
noblest, most splendid man on earth.
If you will take me, I will be the hap-
rlest, proudest, thankfullcst woman
that the Bun shines on."
I "Take you!" repeated Gormly. "But
I can't understand"
' "Will you understand this?" asked
the girl.
She walked slowly toward him. Sho
laid her hand on his shoulder. She
lifted her face to his. Ills arm went
around her waist. What she had be
gun, he finished. He swept her to
him. She gave herself up yieldingly
to his embrace. When his Hps Bought
hers, there was no avoidance. Her
arm slipped round his neck and tight
ened there. And then at Inst ho un
derstood. After awhile she drew
away from hlra.
"You don't ask me what I have
done?" she said.
"I neither know nor care since you
are here and yon are mine."
"Perhaps I should not have been
here," she returned, "If we had not
been already engaged and the engage
ment aireaay annmjncee.-
"I am very stupid this morntng,"
said Gormly in some bewilderment
"You certainly are," was the an
swer. "For a man who aspires to be
mayor of New York, you are quite the
stupidest and dearest person imagin
able." "I have wit enough at least to know
where I caa get correct Information
all aoiEir."
"Aia wriere is that?"
"Here!" said Gonuly. pressing with
his own the loveliest lips in the world,
wh'ch smiled at him and were not re
fused his touch. "What have you
dore and how has our engagement,
which, so far as I know, was not en
tered Into until a moment since, been
announced?"
"Rend that!" she cried, releasing
herself from his grasp and handing
him the neglected copy of The Planet.
She turned to the editorial page
and rolnted to a postscript to the lead
er of the morning, which was a dis
cussion highly eulogistic of Gormly's
action and character. The postscript
was in the form of a belated com
munication which had been received
at the office of The Planet at the last
moment, and had been forced Into the
paper because it furnished the final
and completing touch to the other
revelations It contained. It had been
printed in heavy black capitals, double
spaced. Coming closer to her, bo that
he hell her with one arm, Gormly
took the paper with the other and
read:
"The engagement of Mr. George
Gormly to Miss Eleanor Haldane Is
authoritatively announced. The fu
ture mayor of New York Is to be con
gratulated upon having won for his
promised wife the young woman, who
not only from her beauty of mind and
person, but because of her lively and
practical Interest in the poor, the op
pressed and suffering, is easily first
among the daughters of our great city.
The Planet feels that this announce
ment supplies the completing touch to
the other admirable qualifications
which Mr. Gormly possesses for the
great office to which he has aspired
and to which the reople mean to see
him elected tomorrow."
"Who did It?" asked Gormly.
"I did."
"But why?"
"First of all, because I found out
that I loved you."
"Why did you do it last nisht?"
"Because I believed that such an
announcement this morning, with Its
implication of trust, and honor, and
affection, would do more to establish
you In the public confidence than al
most anything that could be imagined."-
"You have made my election cer
tain. But whether you have or not, I
could almost believe that winning you
1 don't care."
"Don't say that," Interrupted the
roman, delighted nevertheless at this
splendid declaration. ,
"Your fathar and mother, do they
!:row?"
"Certainly. I told them at break
fast this morning." .
"How did they take It?"
"You can Imagine what my mother
thought and said," answered the girl,
smiling faintly.
"And your father?"
She e'ghed deeply.
"My father, I Imagine, is not un
willing to have a friend at court.
What are you going to do when you
ore elected?"
''Mnrry you the first thing."
"1 mean after that."
"Live to make you happy." " .
"Do be reasonable! I mean what
pre you going to ,do with the opposi
tion?" "I am going to do Justly and fairly
by all men, whoever they are, what
ever they may have done. Mine shall
be no rt'H'.v of ruin. Some things
must be broken down; but my aim
shall be to upbuild." . ... ,
"I thought so," returned the girl.
"And what are you going to do with
the one woman?" .
"I am going to love her as no wom
an was ever loved before In this
world."
How long this might have continued
can never be told. Young Haldane in
terrupted them.
"Mr. Gormly," he said, "I see you
have heard the news." ' '
.."I have heard the essential part of
It from your sister."
"Do you mean to tell me that you
haven't rend the paper yet? Well,
sit down and rend It, or I'll withdraw
my Influence and vote against you. I
suppose all Eleanor told you was tho
news of her engagement?"
"Well, wasn't that enough?"
"Enough!" cried the young mnn.
"Why, you want to rend the Interview
wtth Col Bill Hamilton. It's the fin
est thing tnat ever appeared. Every
body knows that you didn't shoot the
man, but that the woman did. They
know, too, that you gave her your
horse in the snow and that she aban
doned you. Why, man, you're a hero!"
"To be perfectly frank with you,
Haldane, this is all most interesting
and gratifying. How on earth Bill
Hamilton turned up at the right mo
ment and told the truth, I don't know;
but as a matter of fact, I do truly
care more for your sister's action and
I got more satisfaction oit of the fact
that I am going to be married to her
Immediately after the election than I
will In winning, If we win."
"You are sure to win," said Hal
dano. "I told you not to say that," said
the girl to her lover.
"Now rend the paper, and then we'll
go uptown."
