and possibly instructive. Mr.. Carrere Is
an astute politician and has urged Con-
gresham Wilson, of Washington state, to
press his name for place, and that gentle
man is doing his best. But inside Of every
thing, a nice little bird is doing It all.
Mr.. Carrere used 10 be Archbishop lreland's
private secretary at st. Paul. While occu-
pying that position Miss Margaret Blaine
several times came down from Fort Assina-
boine, where she was living with her sister,
Mrs. Coppinger, to do her shopping. She
was committed each time TO the guardian
ship of Bishop Ireland, who has been
lifelong friend of the Blaine family, and
sat AT the bedside of MIR. Blaines mother
when she died. The bishop detailed Mr..
Carrere as bodyguard 10 Miss Margaret

we'll did he do his duty that she has always
remembered him with special gratitude.
Having the opportunity, she has now re-
paid the debt somewhat by using her intu-
