So far Knisely has told a somple, straightforward story under cross examination and Hanly has denied the charges. Unless evidence not hinted at In cross examination is introduced, we can see no chance of successful impeachment of Hanly. Hanly did or did not say "We will take care of you." That is the question. There are those who would not put it above Hanly but where is the proof? It is almost certain that in event of failure to make out a case against Hanly it will leave a stench behind. Money bribery has always been harshly condemned in American politics, though It is to be feared that not ten per cent, of it has ever been apprehended and convicted. But it is a dangerous thing to do. Patronage has until the latter years, always been held the prerogative of even the president of the United States. James Bryce In his masterly book on the American Commonwealth alludes to frequently, and declares that it is one of the weapons of the executive. President Cleveland, in 1S93 got the repeal of the silver purchase bill by distributing fat jobs to the friends of senators and representatives. But this is only an instanceit has been the custom for years. Now our moral sense has at least outwardly been awakened. Even the hint of patronage is condemned. It Is a hopeful sign. When patronage goes, the spoils sysxnNcoes with It. We shall have betofficials and better public servants. CVll Service Reformer may well

take heart. With the "job" removed from politics we may look for better things. It does not affect the guilt of Governor Hanly it he is not cleared, nor does it give him moral support for his reputed action. But is it not pertinent to ask whether there was or was not attempted bribery, or bribery in connection with this legislature and the Brewery Trust. It is to be hoped that the Marion County Grand Jury will do a little probing.

ROOSEVELT FINDS PLENTY OF WORK Receiving More Callers Than If Congress Were in Session. WHEN bOES HE. WRITE? CLAIMED HE IS SO BUSY DURING DAY, HE MUST WRITE ' BRYAN LETTERS AT NIGHT OTHER WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Washington, Sept 30. The prediction that President Roosevelt would be a busy man when he returned to Washington has more than been fulfilled. The White House is not more besieged with callers even at the height of a busy session of congress. The misions of most, but not all of his visitors are political. The meetings here of the tuberculosis and the fisheries congresses ad to the throng, but there has been a continuous procession of callers, with varied interests.some coming at the request of the president and others on their own motion. No one who can make a satisfactory showing to Secretary Loeb is denied an audience and the president is keeping longer office hours than any other official or private citizen at the capital. So busy has he been receiving callers, in fact, that the suggestion has been made that his letters to Mr. Bryan must be written between darkness and dawn. Mr. Roosevelt has told some of his callers that he expects the next five months to the busiest of his life. Knowing that next 4th of March will release him from the cares, he is going to crowd into the coming winter all the achievement possible. There are a lot of things he wants to do or see done before he leaves the presidency. He can't get them all done, but he will accomplish some of them or know the reason why. The possibilities of the wireless telegraph in protecting 6hips from disastrous storms at sea and saving life and property were illustrated a few days ago when the navy department endeavored to "pick up" , the cruiser Prairie and warn her of the approaching hurricane headed for the Atlantic coast from the West Indias. This vessel, with two hundred and fifty men on board for the American fleet now in the Pacific to be trans-shipped at Colon, was four days out from Norfolk when intelligence of th,e dangerous etorm was received. The cruiser was Bailing directly in the path of the "twister" and efforts were made from every wireless station on the coast to get into communication with her, but without success, probably due to some electrical disturbance. Although the department did not believe the vessel would be unable to weather the storm it was thought best warn her captain, if possible, in order that he might change his course and seek some safe refuge until the blow was over. Naval officers and men engaged in the merchant marine of the country believe with the perfection of the wireless system it will soon be possible to communicate with ships no matter how far from land, ' and warn them of dangers and keep passengers posted on the events of the day. This is done now in a measure, on the great liners traveling over the established lane forming the pathway between European ports and New York, through communication with each other, but the perfection of the sjstem is expected to extend its advantages to ships at sea, no matter how remote they may be from land. The advantages of such Information would be inestimable to ships engaged in trade, but naval officers look only to the great good, that would come to them if it were possible intime of war to keep in touch with that arm of the national defense after it has left its rendezvous and gone in search of the enemy. The .time is coming, naval officers say, when it will be as easy to direct the movements of a fleet hundreds of miles at sea as it is with the telephone and telegraph wire now to connect the various divisions of an army.

' t V COPYRIGHT. 1904. By ,- T Assuredly he was In an awkward predicament. Of course there was a chance that the policeman would continue to laugh at the convict's folly If be did not, there would certainly be complication. Could he avoid them b;aay means? Where wa3 there a safu hiding place for his diamonds until next day? Would mother inspire him again as she had not failed to do during so many strange events? Would her spirit guide his footsteps across this new quicksand on whose verge be hesitated? A few doors to the left was O'Brien's shop. The old man crept Into sight, staggering under the weight of a shutter.' Good gracious! Why had he not thought of this ally sooner? Some precious minutes were wasted already. "Arrah, Phil, phwat in the worruld" "Wait Just the least bit, Mr. O'Brien. I have some portmanteaus that I want to store for the night. Do let me put them at the back of your shop. My place is not very safe, you know." "Sure, boy, that's a shmall thing to ax. Bring 'em, an welcome." With the speed of a deer Thilip dived into the mews. He carried the two lesser bags without extraordinary difficulty and deposited them behind O'Brien's counter. The third was almost too much for him, as the weight was all In one hand, but he got it there, breathless with the exertion. He had to open the fourth and tear out the stuffing of paper. When filled with the packages taken from the fifth. It was beyond his power to lift it, so he dragged It bodily along the mews and Into the shop. A passerby offered to help him. "No, thanks," he managed to say, though the effort to speak calmly took away his remaining breath. "I am only taking it to the shop there. The man glanced at the shop it was a marine store dealer's a place where lead and Iron and brass found ready gale. He passed on. "Be the forchun uv war, Phil, where did ye get the illgant leather thrunks an' phwat's in them?" Inquired the astonished pensioner. The boy bravely called a smile to his aid. "I have a big story to. tell you one of these days. Mr. O'Brien, but I have no time tonight. These things will not be in your way until the morning?" "The divll a bit. If things go on as they are, there'll soon be room enough In the poor ould shop. To think afther all these years that a murtherln' thief In the war office" Philip was safe. He rapidly helped his friend to put up the shutters and rushed back to No. 3. Even yet he was not quite prepared for eventualities. He ran upstairs and gathered a few articles belonging to his mother, articles he never endeavored to sell even when pinched by hunger. The last dress she wore, her boots, a hat, an album with photographs, some toilet accessories from the tiny dressing table, the coverlet of the bed on which she died these and kindred mementos made a very credible bulk In the denuded portmanteau. He gave one glance at the hole In the back yard as he went to the coal house for a fresh supply of coal. That must remain. It probably would not be seen. In any case It remained Inexplicable. He was stirring the fire when a tap sounded on the door, and the policeman entered, followed by an Inspector. CHAPTER X. T HIS is the boy, sir." aaid the policeman. "Oh, is that him?" observed the Inspector, sticking his thumbs into his belt and gaiing at Philip with professional severity. Philip met their scrutiny without flinching. He leaned against the wall with bis hands In bis pockets, one fist clinched over the pouchful of gold, the other guarding a diamond bigger than the Koh-i-Noor. "I am sorry I have only one chair, gentlemen," he said apologetically. "That's all right lad." said the in spector. '"The constable here tells me that you very plucklly " helped him to capture a notorious burglar. The man was hiding in this mews, and it seems yon first saw him looking In through your window. What were you doing at the timer "Packing my portmanteau." "Oh. packing your portmanteau." "Yes. That Is it" He stooped and nonchalantly threw it open. His clothes and boots and some of the other contents were exposed to view. The inspector laughed. "Not many diamonds there, Bradley." "No, sir. I told you Mason was talking rubbish." "Did he say any more about me being the boy who found the meteor?" asked Philip, with a first rate attempt at a grin. "Wouldn't talk of anything else." volunteered P. C Bradley. "Judging by the way he dropped whan I bit him, I expect he saw stars," said Philip. "Are you leaving here?" asked the inspector. "Yes, I must. The company which owns these premises intends to pull them down on the first of next month." "What ia your name?" "Anson." "Ah! I think I remember hearing something about your mother's death. Very nice woman, I was told. A lady too." "Yes; all that and more." "Of course. That accounts for your manners and appearance. Have yoo found some friends?" The inspector's glance roved from the serviceable portmanteau to Philip's tidy garments, and it was bis business to make rapid deductions. "Yes, most fortunately." "Anybody connected with Sbarpe & Smith? the constable put in. "Shane . Smith? Who are tharTT

Tracy, EDWARD J. ClODI. -xron i yon 'Snow? ineir young man certainly didn't seem to know much a!mt your movements. He has been here twice looking for you. The first time was let me see last Monday about 4 o'clock. I was on duty in the main road, and he asked me for some information. We came and looked in, but your door was locked. The man on this beat this afternoon told me that the same clerk was making further inquiries today, so as soon as I came on night duty I strolled Into the mews to find out if you were at home. That is how I happened to see you. He turned toward the Inspector. "He was packing his bag at the moment, sir, and Masou had evidently been scared from the window by my footsteps in the arch." The inspector pursed out his underlip. "The whole thing is perfectly clear." he said. "Boy, have you got a watch?" "No," said rhilip, surprised by this odd question. "Bradley, he hasn't got a watch," observed the Inspector. He again addressed Thilip. "Where are you going tomorrow?" "I am not quite sure, but my address will be known to Mrs. Wrigley, the James street laundry, Shepherd's Bush." "Ah! The constable says you do not wish to be mixed up in the arrest of Mason. There is no need for you to appear in court, but er in such cases as yours the er police like to show their er appreciation of your services. That is so, Bradley, isn't It?" -xes, sir. lr Jt noan't been for him, I shouldn't be here now. Jockyhad me fairly cornered." "You had no time to summon assistance?' "I bareiy heard he was here before the window was smashed, and I knew he was trying to get out the other way. You heard him, Anson?" Philip looked the policeman squarely in the eyes. "You bad Just taken off your greatcoat when the glass cracked," he said. Police Constable Bradley stooped to pick up bis coat. He did not wish this portion of the night's proceedings to be described too minutely. In moving the garment be disturbed the packet of letters. Instantly Philip recalled the names of the solicitors mentioned by the constable. "You said that a clerk from Messrs. Sharpe &, Smith called here twice?' he asked. ' , "Yes." He picked out one of the letters, pened it and made certain of his facts before he cried angrily: "Then I want to have nothing whatever to do with them. They treated my mother shamefully." The inspector had sharp eyes. "What is the date of that letter?' he inquired. "Jan. 18 of this year." "And what are those pawn tickets?' "Yes, some of my mother's jewelry and dresses. Her wedding ring was the last to go. Most of them are out of date, but I Intend to I will try to save some of them, especially her wedding ring." Jocky Mason's romance was now dissipated into thin air. The contents of the portmanteau, the squalid appearance of the house, the date of the solicitor's letter, the bundle of pawn tickets offered conclusive evidence to the inspector's matter of fact mind that the ex-convict's story was the effect ef a truncheon rapidly applied to a brain excited by the newspaper comments on a sensational yarn about some boy who had found a parcel of diamonds. This youngster had not been favored by any such extraordinary piece of luck. Simple chance had led him to put the police on the track of a much wanted scoundrel, ' and be had very bravely prevented a member of the force from being badly worsted in the ensuing encounter. A subscription would be made among the officers and men of the division, and they would give him a silver watch with a suitable inscription. The inspector noted the address given by Philip. It was on the tip of his tongue to ask his Christian name, when the constable suggested that they should examine the stable in which Mason had hidden. They went up the mews. Philip locked his door, extinguished his candie and lay down on the mattress, fully dressed, with his newly bought rug for covering. He was so -utterly tired, so exhausted physically and mentally by the sturm und drang of this eventful day that he was sound asleep when the two men returned. They saw him through the window. "lie's a fine lad," said the inspector thoughtfully. "I wonder what he is going to make of himself. We might have asked him who his friends were, but they are not badly off, or he couldn't have got that bag and his new clothes. What on earth caused Mason to connect him with that diamond story?" "It's hard to say, observed the constable. "I will look round and have a chat with him in the morning. Poor little chap! He's sleeping like a top now." The inspector called at No. 3 Johnson's Mews soon after 10 next morning, but the door was locked and the bird flown. He spoke to Mason after that worthy was remanded for a week, but a night's painful seclusion had sealed the burglar's Hps. He vowed, with fearful emphasis, to "get even" with the kid who "ahted" him. for the policeman's evidence had revealed the truth concerning the arrest But not another word would Mason say about the diamonds, and for a little while the Inspector placed his overnight revelations in the category of myths familiar to the police in their daily dealings with criminals.

fie 'was Oo'ia una tMif. 'ibe weafner wan chilly, and there was no ardent meteor in the back yard to keep the temperature of the house at a grateful point during the night. But his active young frame quickly dissipated the effects of a deep sleep on a drafty floor. He washed his face and hands at the sink In the scullery, and his next thought was for breakfast, a proof, if proof were needed, that he arose refreshed in mind and body. In the Mile End road there are plenty of early morning restaurants. At one of them be made a substantial meal, and, on bis return to the mews, he lost not a moment in carrying out a systematic search through all parts of the house and yard for any traces of the meteor which might have escaped his ken in the darkness. Amid the earth and broken stones of the excavation there were a few fragments of ore and some atomic specimens of the diamantiferous material not sufficient, all told, to fill the palm of bis hand, but be gathered them for obvious reasons and then devoted five vigorous minutes with O'Brien's spade to the task of filling up the deep bole itself. By lowering the flagstones and breaking the earth beneath be roon gave the small yard an appearance of chaos which might certainly puzzle people, but which would afford no possible clew to the nature of the disturbing element. At best they might Imagine that tha i.read evidence of some weird crime lay in the broken area. If so, th?y could dig until t'aey were tired. But, Indeed, he was now guarding against a most unlikely hypothesis. The prob ability was that Johnson's Mews would ! soon cease to exist and become almost as fabulous as the Island of At-1 lantis. Moreover, he had a project dimly outlined in his mind which might become definite if all went well with him that day. Then the ownership of No. 3, Johnson's Mews, would cease to trouble him, for Philip was quite sure the whole power of the law would be Invoked to prevent him from dealins with his meteor if once the exact place where it fell became publicly known. O'Brien's shop was scarcely open before Philip was there with his remaining portmanteau. "Arrah, Phil, me bhoyj Where In the name of goodness are ye gatherin' the beeutiful leather thrunks from?" asked the pensioner. "This is the last one." laughed the boy. "I am off now to find a cab, and you won't'see me again until Monday." Taix, he's a wonderful lad entirely 1" commented the old man.

With a cunning that amounted to genius, the boy placed the large, light portmanteau and the two small, heavy ones on the roof of the vehicle, where the driver did not notice the least reculiarity in their weight. The two large, heavy bags he managed to lift into the interior, one of them needing all his resources to carry it from the shop door to the rab. Were he not fresh and untired be could not have done it. As it was, the effort was a splendid success. The cabman knew little and O'Brien less of the tremendous avoirdupois of this Innocent looking baggage. A long suffering horse may have had bis private views, but he did not express them. Saying goodby to the pensioner In the shop, Philip took good care that none overheard his direction to the driver. In about three-iuarters of an hour he lumbered Into Charing Cross station without -a soul In the East End being aware of his destination. "Where to, sir?" asked a porter who opened the door for him. "I only want these bags to be taken to the luggage room." said Philip. "Yon had better get some one to help you with these two. They are very heavy.
