Beasley accepted the honor with his usual quietness and set about his campaign with apathy. Among the people who were angered by Beasley's attitude was his fiancée Kate Robinson, who broke their engagement. Before Beasley was able to comprehend all that the loss of Kate would mean to him, he received a surprise from an entirely-unexpected quarter: a relative's death threw the entire care of little Sophia Brown upon him. She was nervous, delicate little thing with a distinct tendency toward melancholia. For the first few weeks after her arrival, anxious Beasley was at his wits' end to discover a way to amuse her. Then he found that Sophia had one of the most delightfully sensitive imaginations in all the world. Kent Hardman, a newspaper reporter, passed Beasley's home one evening and discovered the senator on the front doorstep talking affectionately to a dog, which the closest observation on the part of the puzzled reporter failed to materialize. From that date the report gradually spread that Beasley was a bit strange. Suddenly the news came to the machine candidate for governor that Beasley was giving a large entertainment at his home. Filled with contempt for his opponent's methods of gaining popularity, the rival candidate went up to Beasley's house to investigate, joined outside the house by the reporter and Kate. A man was driving an empty carriage around the block in which Beasley's house was situated. Each time the carriage drew up before the door, Beasley appeared, shook hands with the empty air, and escorted invisible people into the house. The watchers looked at one another in bewilderment. Then they went to the window and peered in. What they saw was a small child, whose dreamy eyes were filled with utter happiness, because a ''grown-up" had entered her game of make-believe. The machine candidate stole quietly away, and Kate entered the house. "You have so many lovely people here tonight," she said to Beasley and Sophia. "Haven't you room for just one fool?"
