On this night in question he had

of resignation to the band t iait
he had BOmmed the WBOM BW1 up

prompted by the ndrice of her father.

voice that it was the mill, and th-n Tom had passed her in the hallway, and was out on the street.
Already the flames, caught by the storm that howled without., were lighting up the town like a new sun. The scene of indescribable confusion which ensued could never be fuge Ott HI by those more intimately conc rned. The crude flre-ft(rhtinf ..nrntiiu frozen solid, refused to
work, and as the red stresmers wrapt
about the mill and swept across tue roofs of the warehouse and stor.s adjoining, the people knew that Josiah .latnieson's worldly possessions were doomed. Tom. looming out in the released mettle of college athlete, made herculean efforts to stay th. ruin. Fob lowed by a number of men he thwed the hose, directed the streams of water, helped to throw out the goods

what it was. but leapt again into the battle royal. In the early morning a smouldering heap of ashes and half burnt woodwork alone marked the spot where .lamieson's store and mill had stood, and around it in a jumbled up mass was the merchandise which ad been saved. Only one small building

task of managing this almost megtrirable condition of a (fairs. Sud-
l nly from a quiet aswM man he bad assumed an uir of general manager
and gave his orders and went about his work us if it was his own. And bow h- strove. Two, three and four
weeks passed and th- insurance bad
ban setth-d, a ware house hustily erected, new goods bought, and plans
for a much more pretentious store of brick considered and selected. As
soon as possible business hud leen
commenced and everything that
could be done wus done, and all this
time Josiuh .lamieson could not move
bund or foot, but lay in his home
and thanked heaven that such a man
ae Tom Burrows lived. In the office a
new bookkeeper sat diligently futh-
omfng the mysteries of the flies or
statements und sheets of figures, nnd
when Tom came in nfter his days
work and examined the efforts of
his junior, and oftentimes with studied severity corrected this or dis-
ea tangled that, Jean Jamieson
blushed and held her face closer to
the books. Thus they spent night
after night.
Then a letter came to Tom from
home, and it contained news of much
Import to him. His father, by some
lucky disposal of property, had tided over the depression and was again in a financial position to assist his son, and even dictated what that son
should at once do. All day he moodily pondered over the contents which,
strange to say, had brought no joy
to him. but in the evening he threw
his whole mind into the office work
with such fervor that Miss Jean had in stand idlv bv in wonder. At last
the task was completed and he turned
about and looked his helper squareiy
in the face. With a woman s perception she read trouble in his gaze
and her cheeks blanched to a whiter
hue. The deep traces of the unaccus
tomed worry and toil were painiuiiy
appan-nt.

Ilia def-at of the Cuban reciprocity legislation is a great blow to the administration of President
Kooaevelt. His attempt to coerce congress to do his bidding, which he emphasi.ed in two messages to that body, has been spurned by a large faction of the republican party in the interest oi the beet sugar trust. It is now stated that the president will call an extra session of congress if action is not taken at the present one. The members of the beet sugar faction in the house of representatives, joining with the democrats, hare passed the bill I. 20 ner cent, on Cuban
pivxhicts, with another section aaaeo
which was insisted on ny me utmuerats. repealing the differential duty on refined sugar. The republican members oi the senate found themselves in the same dilemma as Hie members of their party in the house of representatives. They were compelled to take the MB as it came fnom the house, with the democratic autitrust section, or take the responsibility of no legislation. The democratic position is unique.
The members of thnt party voted In A h

If President BeoeeveM bad really wanted to aid the Cubans and strike a blow at one of the great trust monopolies, why did he not recommend the reduction of the tariff on refined sugar equnl to the advantage the sugar trust would gain by the 20 per cent reduction on Cuban raw sugar? Havemeyer would not. of course, under these circumstances, give a large check to the republican campaign fund, but the consumer of sugar in the United States would be benefitted, even if the collector for
the campaign fund had to hunt from other trust quarters the necessary ash to mske up the deficiency. Th. renublican organs are quite
exercised about rev ising the tariff, and j
I the republican leaders in congress nave ! declared that it can only be revised by I its friends. Hut as these republican friends happen also to be the friends - tfe trniätB. who are the chief bene
