Colonel Toc'hunter Confronts Defeat.
URFN'G a lull in the excited ju
bilation that followed Tom
Strickland's acquittal, and hav
ing first congratulated Tom
fcimpelf, Mrs. Todhunter turned to
Colonel Strickland, who stood with lir
husband a few feet away, Colonel Tod
himter having by this time joined the
group.
"I feel sure you know how rejoiced I
am that Tom has been acquitted," she
said, her frank eyes testifying to the
truth. "I have always loved him as If
he was my own son. But I had to do
what I did after that dreadful m'sht of
the party at the hoteL The accusation
aiade against Jaiui by that sirl, Lottie-

be could clear himself of the sin with I Peyton, the lancey chair:
which the girl herself charged him."
"I know just how you felt. 27rs. Tod
hunter," replied Colonel Strickland. "It
was a terrible situation. Naturally, it
hurt us all that Tom was made to ap
Iear guilty, but there was the cold fact
that Lottie-May Doggett rit!icly de
clared him guilty, and it seemed in
credible that she would do this if he
was Innocent. And I know now that
you, are sincerely glad because the
truth has come out. You don't have to
tell me. anything about it, ma'am."
At this moment Mary herself, a great
happiness shining in her face, although
her eyes were wet with tears, joined
the group. Colonel Strickland turned to
her with a smile.
head. "They've got too big a bulge on
us. Everything's fixed now to steal the

"It'll ccme back. Bill." said Colonel
Todhunter stoutly. "And you've been
standing the gaff like a gamecock, suh.
You've done all a man in your position
could ha' done, and your friends will
do whatever fightin remains to be
done. You just take it easy, suh."
Tom Strickland entered the room.
He looked pale and .worn, but happy,
and there was a steadier manfiness in
his face.
"Mother's asking- for you and Colonel
Todhunter, father." he said. "She
wants iue.to tell you that this isn't any
time to be talking politics."
Colonel Todhunter laughed. '.'Ain't
that just like a woman. Hill':" he asked
"And Mrs. Strickland, for all she
knows, on the very edge of becomin'

hamjigged! Well, suh. I reckon the
good Lord who made 'em understands
'em, but It's a blamed sight more'n I
do. Tot even Mrs. Todhunter, suh!"
He chuckled. Then he added, "Least
of all Mrs, Todhun-" uh!"
Dick Cantri'l,' editor of the Nineveh
Blade, Colonel Strickland's home or
gan, enterprisingly arranged for a bul
letin service of election returns on the
night of the primary vote, and Colone".
Todhunter and the Hon. William J.
Strickland were among the first to ar
rive at the Blade oliice that evening.
Dick himself, with Lycurgus Qnivey
as his assistant, was to handle the bul
letins, the poet schoolmaster's most ar
duous assignment being that of keep
ing the Blade devil' in swift action
between the newspaper riant and the
telegraph office across the street There
was a quite considerable gathering of
Nineveh's voters to hear what news
might come, and much speculation as
to the result was being voiced.
"What do you think about it novr.
Bill?" asked Colonel Todhunter as the
candidate appeared on the scene.
"Just the same as I've been saying
right along here lately," replied Colo
nel Strickland quietly. "I'll go into
Kansas City and St Louis consider
ably ahead of Yancey, and I'd carry St.
Louis on an honest count Kansas City,
being Steve Yancey's home, will roll up
a big majority for him, even if they've
got to give the penitentiary a close
shave In doing it ' Still, I'd stand a
fighting chance if the St Louis crooks
didn't have a free hand but they've
got it, and that's what's going to cook
ruy goose."
"Well, then, givin 'em St Louis and
Kansas City;both. what do yon figure
ytiur plurality in the- stats'Il have to be
to crsfwCius tiut?'
"1 reckon ti-sy on't dzzs to count

St Lo'-t;; it vrmld be t"o plain 3 show
dimply rroved to Tom at a mighty wel
come time that the young lady he loved
Fo dearly loved him in ceturn, so you
ought to be proud- of it instead of
ashamed."
And at this juncture Colonel Tod
huuter Intervened. "Don't you let that
Mary Todhunter fool yon. Bill Strick
land," he chuckled. "She's as proud of
that there love sick message to heii
sweetheart at such a romantic moment
as If It wa3 all in a sentimental story
and she was the heroine of the story.
And when she and Tom have gone and
got married well, between yon ar.d
me and the gatepost I'll bet poor Tom
tever hears the last of it"
Mary blushed furiously as the others
inughed.
"When she. and Tom are married!"
repeated Colonel Strickland, his eyes
resting fondly on Mary's face- "Doesn't
that sound good, though?"'
Then he turned pointblank to Mrs.
Todhunter. "When shall it be, Mrs.
Todhunter?" he asked. "You andJMiss
Mary 'have got to be good now and
name an early day. When shall it be?"
But at this alarming question Mary
herself gave a little cry of maidenly
protest, frantically clutched her moth
er's arm and fairly dragged Mrs. Tod
hunter out of range, yet not with entire
success, for the latter turned a laugh
lug face back to Colonel Strickland as
she was thus convoyed away.
"Never you mind. Colonel Strick
land," she made fleeing answer. "I'm
going to work hard for Tom. .1 ought
to do it, and I will."
That snie evening Colonel Todhun
ter went to confer with the Hon. Wi?
liam J. Strickland at his home concern
ing the latter's campaign prospects.
The outlook was not encouraging.
"Bill," said Colonel Todhunter.
"there's just one chance for us. Tom's
acquittal may bring about a reaction o
public sentiment in your favor if two
driys is time enough for the news to
sink in and create the" natural effect.
They'll all kuo-x of it The St. Louis
nnd Kansas City papers are full of the
ox' itin' story of his sudden acquittal.

will have a Tot about rr. -rr:f v?hzi:e
it mny prove a boomerang for the Yan
cey gang. They worked up public in
terest in tje.eas&, thinkin' it would,
ruin you body and soul."
Colonel Strickland shook his head.
"It's too late, Thurs." he replied. "I
reckon I'll have to stay beat. But I
ajn't worrying about that I want to
hrur now thit my campaign fund has1
been raised, so as to put you out of
danger of any loss."
The. light of battle was in Colonel
Todhunter's eyes.
"I'm thinkin' about your gettin that
there noiuiuatioa. Bill Strickland!" he
exclaiired. "Net n bo.it the vzoue".
Xo-vv that g-.-t 'ein b'ijt 13' 'Xom'j

li is '"off c rook ed, work if they did and
on that basis I'd need sometLing like
23,000 plurality ii? the state. Where am
I going to get it?"
Coloael Todhunter looked dubious.
"That certainly is saddiiu' a mighty big
contract on Mizzoorah, to offset" the
crooked count in St. Louis. But I'll just
be double whipsawed if we won't fight
'em to th hist ditch, suh. No mau's

right on jtuat point, suh, I knew an old
fellow over yonder in Callaway that
never got licked in his vhole life; he
died fightin to his last breath, like a
reg'Iar old Davy Crockett, suh!"
The IIo. William J. Strickland smil
ed. "I'in not throwing up. the sponge
either," he responded, "but the wisest
way is to look facts straight in the
face. If j"ou don't yon simply build a
fool's paradise that'll make jou feel all
the worse if things don't turn out
right."
Colonel Todhunter chuckled. AM

to use my bricks right down to the last
one buL'din' a house that suits me. not
one that suits the other fellow. "Hope
on, hope ever,' that's my motto, and
the devil take the hindmost."
"Here you are. folks," called out
Dick Cantrill. "The bulletins are be
ginning to come in.
" 'Incomplete returns from fifty coun
ties, including Kansas City and St Joe',
give Yancey 3S,7r.O, Strickland 1S.21S.
Judson 17.410 asid San ford 10.3S5.' "
"Hooray for our side!" exclaimed
Colonel Todhunter.
The others laughed.
"What are you hoorayin about.
Thurs?" drawled Colonel Strickland,
amused. "Trying to keep vcur courage
up?"
"No. suh; not by a blamed sight." re
torted Colonel Todhunter. "First news,
bad news, that's what I'm hoorayin'
about It's always meant good luck,
and it means good luck now as sure as
thooiin'."
A rlpr'o of reassured laughter greet
ed this sally.
"Here we nre again!" announced Dick
Cantrill. " 'Jackson, Yancey's home
county, gives him 5.000 votes, record
ing to early return, with less than a
hundred for bis opponents. "
"Tjat Isn't bo bad," comraented Colo
nel Strickland, "i the later returns

" 'Greene, Buchanan and Vernon

Yancey; also Andrew, Cass, Ccle, Da

. "Shucks!" scoffed Colonel Todhunter.
"They've been conceded all along, 'ihe

to get."
Cantrill vyaved a Lew bulletin jubi

-Hjut by how mucU? -t hat's the" ques

trill, " 'show Yancey leading in Kansas
City, St Joseph and In thirty-three
counties by 1S,037."
"Now we're gettin' down to it," spoke
Colonel-Strickland grimly. "Let's see
thirty-three counties um-hum and St
Joe say, Thurs, according to these fig
ures they're countiu np an all fired
heavy Yancey vote in Kansas City!" -,
"'St Louis,"' read LV.itor Cantrill."
"'Many disturbances reported at (he
polls. Reliable return on vote will be
late. Police have made numerous ar
rests. "
Colonel Strickland looked worried.
"Todhunter," he said, "the St. Louis
gang's getting in its work for Yancey
all right" .
But Colonel Todhunter disdained this
view. "I ain't so. almighty sure. Who
knows but what that's a good sign for
us?"
"The police can't roach crooked work
done by judges and clerks of election,"
pointed out Colonel Strickland.
"Weil," replied Colonel Todhunter.
"they can prevent intimidation at the
polls, anyway."
.But even he had to join iu the laugh
that followed.
" 'Partial returns from thirty-six rural
counties,' " read Dick Cantrill, 'give
Yancey plurality of 4,000. "
Then, the bulletins began to come in
swift succession. The Blade's editor
read them breathlessly.
Suddenly his voice, sounding a note
of apprehension, rang out:
" 'Kansas City gives Yancey a plu
rality of 12,003 "
Dead silence followed the announce
ment. Colonel Bill Strickland laid down the
pencil with which he had been figuring.
"That settles it, gentlemen," he said.
"We're done for."
"We ain't heard from St, Louis yet.
Bill," suggested Colonel Todhunter.
"We don't need to wait for St. Lou
ts," replied Colonel.. StricklaVJ. "If
they've counted up a 12.000 plurality
against me in Kansas City they'll piay
the game to the limit in St Lqiis tun
They're only holding St Louis back to
see what's needeti. If necessary they'll
plug me with a 10,000 plurality there.
I'm probably beaten by 1S.000 the way
things look now."
" 'It l5 E3T c.-H-. jM ttit Y-IUCS Trill

Far down the street arose the sound
of music and cheering.
Soon the strains of , "There'll Be a
Hot Time Iu the Old Town Tonight!
were" plainly distinguishable, brought
nearer and nearer by a large marching
body.
It was the Nineveh bugle and drum
corps, heading the Step'ieu K. Yancey
campaign club, starting out on a tri
umphal parade to celebrate the victory
of the Hon. Stephen K. Yancey over
the Hon. William .1. Strickland for the
Democratic nomination for governor of
Missouri.
Colonel Bill Strickland smiled grimly.
"Look pleasant, Thunstuu," he said.
"Put on jour sweetest expression.
They'll be marching by here in a minute."
"I'll just be eternally condemned if 1
do!-' retorted Colonel Todhunter. "1
can take my medicine just as grace
fully as the next man when I know it's
ccixuif to me, but I'll be jimswiggled if
it's comin' to me yet. The cards has all
got to be laid down on the table before
I let any man take the pot, suh!"
Colonel Strickland shook his head,
smiling.
The next moment the vanguard of
the approaching column caaae in sight.
In another instant the Nineveh bugle
and drum corps and the Stephen K.
Yancey campaign club, followed by a
crowd of cheering Yancey ites. were
swinging proudly past the Blade office.
"Hooray for Yancey!" the pnraders
shouted.
Colonel Todhunter. stiff as a grena
dier, stood at the open door. His jaws
were set hard as he confronted the tri
umphant foe. Suddenly a mocking
voice sounded.
"We're sorry for poor old Bill Strick
land." it cried, "but he never ought to
ha' bucked up tigainst Steve Yancey!
. Colonel Tcdr-s ' Citing blood
leaped in r.us veins. "Who are you
that's so sorry for Bill Strickland?" he
asked. There was an yi omen in his
level tone.
No reply came. But Colonel Todhun
ter Identified the speaker by following
the glances o' his fallows in the line.
"Oh. it's you. is it. Jeff Harris?" he
fr.IJ. "You, that didn't know at firt
whether you was for Colonel Strickland
5r old Steve Yancey. Couldn't make up
four mind till you saw which way It
was most profitable for you to juurp.
Weil, Jeff, your man ain't norniMatd
yet Ar.d In the meanwhile I wouldn't
like noihia' letter, you white livered
kunk, than to wipe up the ground
with you'.'
But at this criticrl . moiucnt Colonel
Bill Strickland, laughing, pulled Colo
nel Todhunter back into the Blade of
fice, and Jeff Harr's passed on w ith the
Yancey parade.
"You old firebrand, you!" the candi
date sputtered, shaking with laughter.
"What the bine blazes and S:vn Hill do
you want to let a thing like that ruille
you up for? 1 thought you had more
sense."
"I've got sense enough. Bill," said
Colonel Todhunter. "But all my life
I've been ready to clinch with any
man that tried to mock me or my
friend, thinkin he was down and out,
ntid I'll just be shot full o' holes if 1
nin't still ready."
Dick Cant rill's voice interrupted.
"Here's a not her bulletin," he cried.
Then he read: "'Returns from St
Louis just beginning t come ia. It is
now claimed that Strickland has car
ried that city. Yancey's managers are
charging Randolph Carter, the newly
appointed chairman of the board of
election commissioners, with unlawful
ly using Lis authority in Strickland's
behalf. L:ist nigliX C::rter removed

poiutees ample police protection at the
polls. Many disturbances at polling
places have resulted.' "
Colonel Todhunter's jubilant hand
came down heavily on Colonel Strick
land's shoulder.
"What did I tell you about Randolph
Carter and old Chief Sticcy, Bill?" he
tried. "Didn't I say that I made old

days. -you mark iuy words."
There was a iovoiw cheer from his
! hearers. '
But Col.-.nel Todhunter himself held
up a warning hand. "Don't be too pre
vious, boys. Leave that sort of foolish
ness to the Yancey crowd that just
jweut prnncin' by here if anything of
that sort's got to be done. Walt for
the figgers before you do any bollerin"."
But Dick Cantrill gave 'another
whoop, notwithstanding. "Here's an
other bulletin!" he cried. '"It is now
said that Strickland has a heavy "plu
rality in St Louis as a result of the
lipnest count of votes cast. Yancey's
managers are claiming fraud."
Aud then the "figgers" began to roll
in. The returns from St Louis by pre
cincts and wards, until now delayed,
were at last well in hand. Dick Can
trill read bulletin after bulletin in un
broken succession. Colonel Strickland,
with lips compressed, tabulated the
vote by wards. Once or twice he nod
aed significantly to Colonel Todhunter.
At last there came a -break in the
steady stream of returns. Lycurgus
Qnivey grasped a bulletin from the
hands of the Blade's "devil" as the lat
ter rushed in breathless. He handed it
to Cantrill.
The Blade's editor gave one swift,
comprehensive glance at the bulletin
ud excitedly hurled his hat high in
oo air with an unrestrained yell of ex
altation.
"'It is now conceded by Yancey's
managers,' " he read, "'that Strickland
has carried St Louis by at least 11,000
plurality. Willi the returns now iu
from the state, this gives Strickland a
total plurality of at least 3.000. with
several Strickland counties still to hear
from. A conservative estimate Indi
cates that Strickland will be nominated

Colonel Strickland laid down his pen
ril an l leaned back in his chair.
"That's "reliable." he said. "We've
trt 'em beat. boys. Anybody that feels
like hooraying for Strickland now h;is
got my full permission. It's perfectly
safe."
At this moment the little "printer's
ievil" of the Blade delivered a personal
telegram to Colonel Strickland. As the
latter read it an expression of the deep
est relief and satisfaction sprang' Into
his face,
"Thank Cod!" he muttered. "I want
ed that special piece of news more than
anything else in all this world. Here.
Thurs, just you read this, my friend!''
Colonel Todhunter took the bit of pa
per from Colonel Strickland's hand.
The message was signed by Governor
Leslie. It read:
Due to enthusiasrfi caused by Tom's ac
quittal and the i'iL.!:o'3 realization of cow

Colonel Strickland laughed as glee
fully as a boy when Colonel Todhunter
glanced up at him from the readiug of
the telegram.
"Thnt settles it. Thurs I", he cried.
"And by the Iord Harry, I'm gladder
to know you're safe on the money end
of this tight than to know I've Iten

"It hasn't made me Iomj a wink o"

calmly. "I know I ain't ns religious a

read aloud that sentence of the tele
gram authoritatively announcing Colo

Dick Cantrill's loyal voice led the
mighty cheer with which this J an
nouncement was greeted. Sim Bird
song's was second only to his. Colonel
Todhunter, gulping just once after
having read the proclamation of vic
tory, did not join in the cheering. But
