"Have a cigar." On the morning of election day, an hour In-fore the polls were opened, while Alderson sprawled on the sim-klssed bank of a trout brook among the meadows of Intervale, the town enjoyed a genuine sensation. The early-rlslng voters had taken their copies of the "Argus" from the post otllce, and had read, in utmost astonishment, the following double-leaded editorial: "The HOUR AND THE MAN!" "Heiuoeruts of Intervalethe hour and the mail ore here. The hour that d'uteful hour that dawns with this elec tion day. The man that Irreproachable citizen and peerless democrat, the Hon. Klljah Parsons, candidate fur Ihe exalted and honored otllce of first selectman.

"No need for us to animadvert upon the peculiar fitness of the Hon. IOIlJah Parsons for the highest otllce In the gift of his townsmen. His life and political record are open open as Holy Writ and he who runs may read. No man In Intervale Is better qualified by nature, by education and by training, to discharge the important duties of an olilce that thus far, thank God I has never been disgraced. "Still less call Is there to animadvert upon the tergiversations of his opposition.

He is not worthy of our notice. We will not degrade the issue by discussing him. His record, too, Is open-open as the cesspool of his own Infamy, above the clabbered surface ot which he dares for the first time to raise his slimy head, and ask shameless effrontery the suffrages of a community that he contaminates by hlH loathsome presence. Further mention of him Is gross Mattery, "Does thlH fellow (we will not sully our pages with his name) expert to be elected by democratic votes to a position that has never yet been defiled by such as he? Monstrous proposition! thousand, ten thousand times No! Were such to bo, living democrats would blush for shame; THE PHAl) WOULD ItKST I'NKASY IN THK1R OltAVKS. "Democrats of Intervale, Is there one among you that can watch with sightless eyes the beckoning finger of political honor? Is there one among you that can listen with deaf ears to duty's clarion call? Is there one among you dumb when the very rocks and trees of Intervale cry out in speechless Indignation? No, no! Never! Perish the suspicion! "To the polls theTi.

Remember Jefferson, remember Jackson, remember Hiram Perkins! Cast your ballots for the Hon. Elijah Parsons, the peerless patriarch of a peerless party, and crush, with a certain and with ruthless hand, democracy's corrupt and dastard foe! Down with the traitor and up with the stars! "For we'll rally 'round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again. Shouting the battle cry of Parsons!" Thft democratic faithful rubbed their eves, read the editorial a second time, and then hurried to the otllce of the "Argus." where Miss Curtis was found In a bewilderment that speedily became enldeinlc. She knew nothing aoout tne editorial. She had written something very different, she ald, which had been nut Into type and which she nail seen locked up in the form before she went home the evening before.

But no trace of this was to be found. It had not flown "on leaden wings," but it had dissolved absolutely, "like this insub stantial pageant faded," leaving not a thin space, not a quad behind. And in its place In the ink-smeared form upon the composing-stone lay a double- handful of type that had come whenca? that had been placed there by whom I The pibroch waa echoing to the fathest farm in Intervale; but who was the pipvi? Foreman Smith declared that after he had made- ready for the pressman, who was due at 3 o'clock in the morning, he had locked up the office and gone home (which was true enough). Mias Perkins, who had grown a bit hys terical, futher testified that when she had opened the sanctum in tne morning her desk (the d'esk her father before her had used) was in disorder. The old gentleman's corncob pipe, half filled with ashes, reposed upon a masa of clippings and fragments of copy paper bearing the unmistakable rhlrography of thB late Mr.

Perkins. The printer's devil here contributed to the rising thrill of excitement by solemnly asseverating that when he opened up for the pressman in the morning he emelled brimstone In the composing-room; but a sharply indignant rebuke from Miss Perkins put a damper upon his budding imagination. What was the explanation Was more than one explanation possible? Was It not. The democratic faithful rushed from the office and the excitement spread like a prairie blaze. On the stops ot the town hall a crowd gathered, newspaper in hand, and listened to tire longest speech Mr.

Brewster ever made, "You kin believe me or not," tnat worthy Jehu and honlface was saying, "but I tell you that old HI Perkins came back and writ that piece himself. I eald all along that the way things was runnin' In Intervale was enough to make the old man turn over In his grave, and by thunder! he turned. Gentlemen, three cheers for 'Lije Parsons, and a tiger for old HI!" They were given with a right good will. And when the day was done and the votes were counted Lemuel Thayer, editor of the "Herald," was a crushed and dispirited man. That night the smoke from the bonfire of his dearest hopes floated up from the valley and drifted over the crest of Goshen Hill.

On the following morning, when Alderson thook hands with Mr. Brewster and climbed Into the stage for Pitts-field, the landlord leaned over the wheel and thrust forward a handful of cigars with the remark, "Young man, I may put my talk up In caps'les, but I'm a powerful hand at thlnkin'."

Of course, be had made many enemies, of whom not the eat was Lemuel Thayer, of the Intervale PART It.

There never had been need ot more than one newspaper at Intervale. Iloth Journals had time and a win directed attention to this truth, supporting tho assertion with excellent argument, yet neither had evinced a deposition to retire from the Held. The editor of the "Herald" wa as violent In his weekly fulmlnatlons as watt the editor of the "Argus," but the violence of the one was the product of dyspepsia and spleen while that of the other was the exuberance of a soul that Joyed in combat. The "Herald" 'snarled; the "Argus" roared. Intvrvalo up to the fall of 1SH6 had always gone democratic, with unbroken fidelity, but after that there was known tf be here and there a break In the ranks, sttflkient to make the result ot the next town election (which at the time this story opens was pending) a matter ot conjecture, At this critical period In the life of the Intervals democracy Hiram I'erklns passed away, and this lamentable event was the genesis of disaster for the "Argus." The subscription list dwindled slowly, but none the less surely.

Republicans no longer "took It to see what the darned thing for the "darned thing" under the lary-llke control of Miss Beatrice never said anything to stir the combativeness ot friend or foe. The democratic faithful continued their support, but sighed deeply when they turned to the now placid editorial columns where once had seethed the fiery metaphor and the stinRing simile. And for the first time In hla insignificant career Lemuel Thayer, editor of the "Herald," had ventured to offer himself as a candidate for office. He had dared to raise his eyes to the exalted post of first selectman. Never over-popular with his own party, he had long held In check this vaulting ambition, and by voice and pen Had striven to blaze the way to glory for other less deserving than himself.

But now his powerful foe elept in the churchyard, and nothing etood be tween him and the consummation of hla dearest hope except a normal democratic majority, that a breath could unmake, as a breath had made. Into this breath of destruction the editor of the "Herald" put all the power of his mental lungs. Conscious of his strength and of his contemporary's weakness, ho. hammered his democratic opponent (an eminently respectable gentleman) unmercifully. The "Argus" strove to reply.

It cited the respectability of Its candidate (which nobody disputed), and his fitness for the position of first selectman (which everybody admitted). But this at best was mere defense, and very disappointing to the voters of Intervale, who for years had prepared their ballots amid a deafening clash of editorial quills, and whu loved a fighter, whatever his politics. A step on the threshold to the "Argus" eanctum aroused Miss Perkins from hv-r reverie. She raised her head and saw Alderson. "Why.

Mr. Alderson!" she cried. "I supposed you had gone on to Pittsfield this morning." "Such was my Intention," said Aider-son; "but my friend Brewster, in an unguarded moment, let fall the Information that there was some excellent trout fishing around here, and you know my weakness." "Well, I'm awfully glad you stayed over," said the young lady, "and especially glad you dropped in at this moment; for I am at my wits' end." "What can I do for you?" smiled Alderson. "Command me. Miss Perkins." "Help me with an editorial." "What on?" "Local politics.

The town election Is only two days off, and I must say something to encourage, to inspire the democrats of Intervale. If our candidate Is defeated I am afraid the 'Argus' will follow your If father were only alive!" again pished Miss Perkins. "One blast upon his bugle horn were worth a thousand votes, eh?" "Twenty would be enough; though for all I am able to do or say it might as well be a thousand." "Let me see," said Alderson, looking at his watch. "Ten o'clock. Too early.

My thinking apparatus positively refuses to get under way until after dinner. Now, what do you say to a drive to Ashvllle, and on the way we'll plan the enemy's undoing?" "And meanwhile what are my compositors to do?" "Set 'Farm and Household said Alderson, promptly. "That fs what the 'Palladium' compositors did." This mischevious advice was followed, but before Miss Perkins returned from her ride, she had a much clearer Idea of what she desired to say to the democrats of Intervale. It was not very stirring, after all. as she confessed upon reading it over; but it was the best she could do, and she hung the manuscript upon the hook with a feeling of relief.

Alderson spent the remainder of the afternoon in a corner of the sanctum, poring over a file of the "Argus" that covered the last political campaign. The editorial style of the late Hiram Perkins, his picturesque invective and boundless wealth of vituperative adjectives, interested the New Yorker deeply. "I believe the old man wrote some of these things for the purpose of working in "animadversion" and he thought, coming upon these words for the hundredth time. "By Jove!" closing the volume "one such editorial as that in the next issue of the 'Argus' would knock the editor of the 'Herald' into a cocked hat." It chanced that at that particular time Perkins had stepped across the street to the post office, and Aider-son strolled into the composing-room. "Are you the foreman?" he asked a bright-faced chap who, mallet in hand, was struggling with a refractory form.

"Yes, sir," replied the young man, Ed Smith by name. "Would you oblige me by stepping around to tha Hotel da Brewster after i TOERINGTON. Burglars Break Into Grant's Bowline Alley.
