"You frighten mo," Bald tho girl, uppallod aa wo often aro by tho grant lag of our prayora, tho acceptance of our suggestions, tho realisation of our J feopea. "I don't llko to feol that what I you are doing is for for " ' I "Bay It. Miss Ilaldano.

"Tho best things In, llfo aro dono for tho aalio of good v. omon, nnd there Is not a human being In tho world who pofisesacn your powers and capabilities who doca not thrill to responsibilities. In your heart of bearta you nro glad or you will bo glad If through your Inspiration nomc jthlng Is accomplished, by whatever way or means it may be evon by me for mankind." And tho woman know that tho i .words woro true. Sho thrilled even I then to tho strength of his protesta- i tlon. . "Yon sco I knim ..nmauity. I don't j know socloty; you observed that by my awkward reception of you all horo tonight." 'Indeed." said tt-e girl; "It was most graceful and kindly luispltallty, and wo deeply npproolato It." "It Is good of you to irny eo. Theso things I could learn," he hesitated, "if I bad some ono who knew to teach ,xne; but other thlngu I know myself.

"And mlsorablo if wo fall?" queried tho girl with a nervous laugh. "We will not fall." "You aro proposing a partnership?" "There Is a nunsl-rartnershlp exist ing between ua now In tho settlement house. Your dovotlon, your generous thought for thoso people, with my business back of you for It Is back of you. Miss Haldano, In that or anything else to the last limit Is going to pro duce results thoro that nobody dreams of." "Are you going to devote yourself to that?" "No," eatd tho man quickly.

"I nra going to bo mayor of New Vork, for ono thing, Miss Haldano." "Yos. And then?" It touchod him Immensely to soo tho matter of fact way with which die accoptod his stupendous declara tion. "And then, 1 urn going to bo tho bct.t mayor Now York cvor had, an honest mayor. Tho administration shall bo conducted on business lines, and bust uohh with mo doesn't spell chicane.

"I am going to suppress graft; I am going to break up tho gang that rob (ho city; I am going to bring tho trac tion companion, the freight and the others, to terms. I am going to mako them give thu tvcoplo good vuluo for tho franchises they enjoy; I am going to reform tho police forco and stop its taking toll of crlmo, Its connivance with sin! Now York Is going to be l r "I Want to Da Something free, and I am going to tell It tho truth and mnko it so!" Ho stoppod and, not trusting him self to look at her, stared Into the fire again. Thoro wns n long paiiHo. "Woll," said ho. flashing a direct look at hor, "what do you think of It, Miss Hulilnnu?" "It Is tho greatest dream that ever entored a human biain," snld tho girl quietly. "It la my business, It has been my business all my llfo, Miss Hnldnuc, to mako dreams como truo, and 1 urn dreaming now a greator dream, dearer to mo than that I havo outlined before you." What could he mean? She strove to moot his glanco fairly; but her own eyes foil before his own direct gaze. "Do you think I can do It, make my dream como truo?" bo asked. Which dream, Mr. Oormly?" "lioth of them." "That you can be mayor of Now York; that you can redeem tho city; that you can restore to the people their llbortlcs I don't know. Other men havo tried It and have failed." "Aud I may fail, too," answered Qormly vory quietly. "Such achieve ments aro not tho results morely of ono man's efforts. Tho people them selves must respond. Whother I can mako them do that or not will de termine tho issue." "I think you can, Mr. Qormly. You havo made mo respond." "And will you holp mo?" "I! What can I do?" "Do what you have dono tonight; listen to me, bellevo tn me, Inspire me, be my silent partner In my en deavor aa I have been yours In your endeavor." t "And after you have succeeded?" "That's tho other dream, and' "Mr. Oormly," eh said resolutely, "If you make that dream come true, you will have done more service to humanity than 'has ever been dono by a citizen of this republic, and you will he tho greatest man on this side of tho world." "And If my other dream cornea truo," said Gormly, "I will bo tho hap pleet." "May they all como truo!" said the girl Impulsively rising and giving him hor hand. "Do you mean that?" eagerly asked tho man, gratefully taking her prof fered hand In his own firm, resolved clasp. ( "I don't know," she faltered, "what your other dream Is; but if it corre sponds with tho ono you havo told mo, 1 repeat tho prayer." "At tho proper tlmo," said tho man, "you uhnll know. Meanwhile, tomor row wo nhnll gut to work." "Tomorrow will bo Christmas," snid tho girl, smiling. "My Christmas present to you, Mlaa Haldane, will bo tho beginning of tho campaign." "And mlno to you, Mr. doruily," she returned laughing, "will bo my good vIbIioh nnd hearty encouragement In your labor." "1 could wish nothing bettor," ho went on lightly, glad and relieved at this chango from the intensity of tho Interview. "I shall uuuounce myself "h n candldnto for tho mayoralty at tho next election. Representatives of the minority party havo already ap proached mo on that subject." "And what did you say to them?" "Nothing yet. You see this Is All now work to me, and I must consider my way carefully." "Havo you ever made a public speech?" "Never In my life." "Woll, If you can talk to the people as you have talked to mo tonight, I tm sure .vou will win." The girl said It artlessly, carelessly; 'eBaeBBaBaaBaaaaaBaBBaBBBaBBBBBBjaBBaBBBaBBBBBBBBBaBBaBBBBsaaBBBBBaaBBeaaBBBsaeaBaBBBil for You, Mist Haldane.' but his heart leaped to the assurance. "That's to bo detormlnod." he raid. "Most men would say It was easier to talk to ono woman 'than to a thou sand people. 1 have had experienro with neither. As I told you, It haa been a quarter of a century since I talked alono with a woman." "Was that In tho west of which you spoko?" "I am glad to tell you. It was In tho west. Sho wasn't a good woman, MIsh Hnldaue," ho said simply, "and I havo never seen her since that night." "Didn't you know that sho was not a good woman?" asked tho girl. "Not nt that time; I did not suspect, that Is, I was only a boy of nineteen." "And Is It because of thnt woman thnt you havo seen no others until I met you?" "Yes, Miss Haldah. "Poor man!" said the girl half to herscif. "Not at all," answered Gormly; "you were quite worth waiting for." "Eleanor," said hor father at this moment, "won't you tako my hand? I wnnt to talk to our host a llttlo my self." CHAPTER V. Mr. Haldane Is Greatly Surprised, Mr. Ilaldano was In somothlng of a quandary. For certain reasons and for somo tlmo ho had boon contemplating an lntorvlow with Qormly. Not only did ho greatly desire tho Interview which wns Indeed necessary, almost vital In fact, to the furtherance of cer tain matters In which ho was deeply concerned, but ho did not desire that bia Intorest, personal interest, that Is, In the affair should appear. The opposition had greatly under rated the charactor auu nb II. y o. Oormly. The Gotham Freight Vrae tlon compan'y, for instance, had pooh poohed him nt first, and even now, though tho public press vns filled with accounts of him and his dolngr, they still greatly underestimated his qualities. Haldano himself had Joined In this depreciation until ho hud met Gormly. Ho had as yet enjoyed no opportunity of conversation with him, savo In u gonoral way, as has been seen; but ho was accustomed to deal with men, and ho saw instantly that ho was face to face with a personal ity at once ablo, courageous, deter mined, and strong. Heboid tho two mon seated on cither sldo of tho bright flro In tho library, Haldano smoking one of Gormly'o ex cellent Havauas; glassos, bottles, and Ico on a little tablo at hand. Ho had disapproved of Mm. Ilaldano's man ner, not because ho thought It tinsult cd to the occasion, but on account of tho peculiar qualities and characteris tics of Gormly and the relationship In which ho stood to certnln matters of importance Ho had been Inclined on tho first entrance to follow his wire's patronizing, arrogant assumption of superiority; but now ho strove to In fuse nil tho geniality and cotdlallty posslblo Into his voice nnd manner. On the other hand, Gormly natural ly had n deep Interest In Haldano. As tho father of tho woman ho loved, ho would necessarily bo a great factor In tbo battle ho meant to wngo for her hand. His consent and lnlluenco, whllo not absolutely essential, would naturally be of grcnt value. If ho could 'by any means win the support and countenance of the grcnt financier, his dream would bo by that much the more easy of realization. Ho had an Idea, however, that UiIb would bo Im possible. That did not daunt him ot render him tho less alort. -To win Hnldnne's consent possibly might bo no more practicable than to win Miss Ilaldano's consent. Yet Gormly was accustomed to attempt tho Impossible, and nine times out ot ten to achieve It. That Haldane had any relation ship, or could have any relationship, to him other than that of a prospect ive fathor-ln-law nover entered his hoad. That was sufficient to render tho Interview memorablo to him. Tho conversation began with a re mark from the older man about tho weather. I have long wondered why thu weather is tho atapto Inaugural topic. "I havo rarely experienced so severe a snowstorm," said Haldane blandly. "I havo been coming down to Long Island In winter off and on ever since I wus n boy, and this surpasses any thing within my knowledge." "It is had enough for New York," re sponded Gormly. "Here when tho temperature gets down to tho zero mark nnd the wind blows thirty or forty miles an hour, and It snowa hard all day, we call it a blizzard At that last remark, though Haldano had no ostensible connection with the street department, or any other de partment of the municipal administra tion in fact, the man slightly llftod his head and glanced for a moment with deeper Interest at bis companion.. "I tako It from your allusion that you havo experienced worse storms than thin." "I have been In real bllzzardy, Mr. Haldane," answered Gormly quietly; "more than once where the wind's velocity was scarcely to be measured, where the , temperature was from twenty to thirty below, where tho sleet needles cut like whips, and tho storm had full sweep unchecked and un broken by any thing. Howover, I am glad ot tho storm In this instance, slnco It has enabled me to extend to you nnd your party tho shelter of my roof. I havo been acquainted I have Had the privilege of knowing, that Is your daughter for somo tlmo, and I am honored In the acquaintance of hut father and mother and your friends." "You say you have known my daugh ter for some time?" "I have had that pleasure." "If I mistake not, she said that you had been interested in her settlement work. Quixotic imaginations of an enthusiastic girl, my dear sir; but 1 humor her." "You do well," returned tho other. "And If you will give mo leave to dlf for with you, I hardly call It Quixotic. I havo examined Into tho plan thor oughly, and I must say it strikes mo nt being altogether admlrablo as woll as entirely feasible. I hope and bcllovo it will succcod." "Quito so," returned Haldane. Ho was not In the least interested In tho matter. "I havo assisted Miss Haldano in every way possible," returned Gormly, who did not propose to be questioned as to tho details of his relation to the scheme. "Of course," ho went on, "your own reputation as a financier Is known to mo ns It Is to all of New York, and if 1 may bo permitted to say so I am ot tho opinion that a large part of your executive ability, not to say genius, has descended to your daughter." "Thank you," was tbo answer. "El eanor Is certntnly a most capable young womnn." "And It must bo a sourco of grati fication to you that sho chooses to ox ercisu her capability In this direction rather than in the vain and aimless social avocations of a largo nnd in fluential section of our so cnllod best people in tho city?" "Certainly, vory true. Hut frnnkly, I could wish thnt there was n more equabto division of tlmo between the or high and tho low, so to opoal;; that Eleanor could glvo more of her attention to thoso duties, which nftor all, my dear Mr. Gormly, however wr men "of tho world may doprocnto them, go to mako up so largo n part ot life, and leave more of tho detail work o! this Institution to othors." (TO OU CONTINUED.) CHURCH LIGHTED BY WIND Novel Method Employed to Illuminate Sacred Edifice Near Birming ham, England. Probably ono of tho moat novel mothods of providing lighting for a church la that employed at tho old Coscly church, situated a few miles out from Birmingham, England. About COO feet from tho church Is tho mouth of u dlsuaod coal mine, around which nro huge piles of tail ings. Upon ono of these a steel tower CO feet high is erected and a windmill 18 feet In diameter Installed. At tho base of tho tower in a small house is an electric generator which Is run by tho mill. Tho current thus generated feeds 27 lumps In tho chinch, two In the chapel, two In tho vestry; oporntos a motor for pumping tho pipe organ, and also lights 30 lamps In tho rcc-4 tori'. A storugo bnttory In the rectory is n part of this unlquo lighting plant. PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA "A fow days nfter birth wo noticed an Inflamed spot on our baby's hip which soon began spreading until baby was completely covered even In his eyes, cars und scalp. For eight weeks ho wns bandaged from head to foot. Ho could not have a stitch of clothing on. Our regular physician pronounced it chronic eczema. He hi n very ablo physician nnd ranks with the best in this locality, nevertheless, the disease began spreading until baby wns completely covered. Ho was losing flesh so rapidly that wo bo camo alarmed nnd decided to try Cutl cum Soap nnd Ointment. "Not until I commenced using Cutl cura Soap nnd Ointment could wo tell what ho looked like, ns we dared not wash him, nnd I had beon putting one application after anothor on him. On removing tho sculo from his head the hair came off, and left him entirely bald, but slnco wo havo boen using Cuticura Soap and Ointment ho has aa much hair ns ever. Four weeks after wo began to uso tho Cuticura Soap and Ointment ho was entirely cured. I don't bellevo anyone could have eczema worso than our baby. "Before wo used the Cuticura Rem edies wo could hardly look at him, ho was such a pitiful sight. He would fuss until I would treat him, they semod to rellove him so much.
