Her face went white, her eyes narrowed, but her lips set in a straight line as she waited, trying her best to quiet her excited breathing lest it betray her pitiful agitation. She measured. the distance between the edge of the platform anI those slowly sliding hands. Only when they got so close that she could see the mist of fine yellow hair on them did she strike first at one and then at the other, and not with the edge of the cleat, but with the three jagged nails that pro truded from its flat side. With it bellow of rage MacCloster snatched back his pierced hands, trust ing to the grip of his kneos. Andrea clutched the cleat tightly, leaned for.

She heard his body crashing fromi limb) 1o limbi until it landed with a terrific thud on some platform far-belowb Up from the depths camne a liquid stream of curse's; he could no longer bellow, he was whining with the rage thlat means to kill. Andrea sank back and cowered in the corner of her hovel.

She smiled wistfully, her face1 illumined by all t he love of the White Man whieh she had hidden under a mask of ilippaney bult which, nowv that hope was diead, pro clained itself frankly andI seemed to be trying to rock her to comfort and oblivion.

The roaring of the airplane that she had thought an hallucination suddenly ceased. Presently smoke, pearl-gray, began to seep through the thatch of the roof. Andrea came fully to her senses and called in a clear, high voice: "I'm here, White Man; 'm here, White Man." the repeated the cry steadily at short intervals until he shouted an answer. Following the sound of his voice, her eyes caught the gleam of his hunting knife, hacking a way through the thatch and when, finally, his feet were thrust through the opening, she seized and guided them to a foothold. In an other second he was standing before her. Even In the dim light she could see that his face was blackened, his eyebrows, eyelashes and mustache en tirely singed, his hair burnt off in patches. "Oh I White Man I" sie gasped, throwing out both hands to ward him. "Drop it," said Trevor shortly, "Which way to the grounid?" She showed him, He slid down the branch until he struck the first cleat, and waited there to catch her. "Come on, now," he said.

G. Hoffman, of Fort -Wayne, Ind., secre tary of the Democratic National Con mittee, made public tonight, announced his candidacy as a delegate at large from Indiana to the coming San Fran cisco convention ipon "anI old-time Democratic tplatform." "I have watched in other countries the effects of so-called unbridled Diemocracy" the vice [)resident wrote, "and I have seen its menace in this country, until I am quite convinced that the peace, Iprosperity and perpe tuity of the American Republic must rest finally upon q few ancient and time honored Democratic doctrines." In vlew of political gossip that Vice President Marshall is slated to be come chairman of the Democratic plat form committee, his letter was read with especial interest by officials here. "Another presidential campaign i pends," Mr. 'Marshall -wrote. "Thhs far the -President, who is the chief of our iparty, has not deemed it expedient to express his opinion as to what the issues wil! be. As 1 am desirous of being a delegate at large from the state of Indiana, I wish to consonance with what I hope has -been my entire public career, to state the substance of what I think the Democratic party 1should stand for. I would not want to go under any misappr-ehension as to my views upon the part of the unfal tering Democrats of Indiana. "We were in the war from the very moment of its European beginning be cause it effected our internal affairs. All of the methods and measures adopted for the preservation of the peace of our country and the winning of the war met with my aipproval and I am ready to defend them. "The war is now over and the re habilitation of America as well as the .rest of the world is talkg .place. It is not. possible to accomplish our re habilitation other than through the in strumentalities of political parties. low shall the IMemocratic party pro pose to rehabilitate the political sys tem of America, P, entrusted hvith! power, is the question. "I have watched in other countries the effects of so-called unbridled Democracy and I have seen its menace in this country, until I am quite con vinceca that the peace, prosperity and perpetulty of the American Republic must rest, finally iupon a few ancient and time-honored Democratic doe trines. "No one save G-od Can remove the Individual as the unit of good govern ment Legislative efforts to produce justice and good order in society by listening and acceding to the demands of persons and classes will in the hour of peace produce failure. The only sure foundation for a stable Republic lust rest tipon the Jeffersonian right. to life, to liberty and to the pursuit of happi)1ness. "TIhe iDemocratic party should stand for this and puledge itself to rebuild the American poilitical structure along this line1 by clearly dividilng its citlzen~s in to the law abiding and lawv breaY ing; making ,its laws rest. equally upon all men; permnitting the individual citi zen who is honest to succeed 1)y hlonest methods; giving to no citizen legisla tive adivantage; speedily epunlshing any one who unjustly obtains success b~y crooked a d dishonest means; re cognizing thlat, tils is still a federa-. tlon of states; demanding that tihe states dlischlarge tile (duties of the local self-governlment; resisting thle usurpa tions of the general government;r moving corru pt und( blazedi judges by standhing always for ab~edlence to the decree sof rourt andl to constituited au1 thlority; -inasfing thal' theO legIslative branch of tile governmtent shall be re sponsible for' the( dischtarge of its duty andl servin~g notice upon01 it that it cana nlot skulk behind an allegedl Interfer ence upon01 tihe lpart of the (executivye brmanch; electing an executive pled(ged to discharge tile counmtless offiela Is amnd ininutmerable agents madi~e necessary 1by the war andi to administer publ)1Ic af fairs along economic lines, event to tile Point of veto of every bill carrying t'ot only uninecessar'y :Ind lil-advised approprmiationls, but appr( triat Ions for tile beniit of a few clitizens rat her than for the comm~lonl goodl; regulatinag strictly every p.1blic uitliity ; andI pun ishing all those seekIng to profite' either peorsonally or thlrough aggregi ed combinations of mna or motney, in shor't. tho presentation to ihn nnenin for their suffrages of a man upon an Old-time, Democratic platform, under the princi ple of whlich the republic fOr' so many years was contented, pros lerous and invincible.
