MIR. Henderson laughed softly to hide his

to an unmistakable frown. Joe saw it, and
for the. first time felt that his position was
a peculiar one. to say the least. He began
to feel very uncomfortable, and this feeling
was not relieved by the curt nod of recog-
milton that Mr.. Blandford gave him. He
was q sensite lad, and it was not pleasant to
realize that he was regarded as an intruder.

Mr.. Blandford laughed as though he re-
garded the matter as a joke, while Mr..
Henderson began to tumble among some
papers on the table. He selected from the
rest three little documents, which he spread
out before him, one on the other. Then he
looked at the other two men and laughed.

WORLDS FAIR DIRECTORS.

No Loan Wanted From the Government,
But What Money Received to BE n Gift.
CHICAGO, April 16.-World's fair di-
tors Winston and Oden returned last
evening from Washington. Mr.. VIM
ston says they had been in Washington
but short time when they
discovered that congress would not vote
money for stock in the exposition.
Therefore he and his colleagues changed
tactics and told Chairman Durburow
that loan would be accepted.
Not having time to consult the di-
rectory, we did what we thought was
best said Mr.. Winston.
Vice-Presidcnt Higinbotham, how
ever, says the directory will not accept
a loan.
Chicago cannot afford to put herself
in that position" he says. If the
government thinks it is not responsible
for any part of the eXpOsition's success,
we shall have to go ahead and com
plete the work ourselves. We cannot
afford to borrow from the government
that would take away the national
character of the exposition and make il
appear to be private enterprise de-
pendent on public bounty"
