Should he tell the president what had
passed between Senator Black and
himself, Of the offer of foreign mis-
sion, of Blacks words, "cold, unsym-
pathetic, ungrateful?" Should he mako
tho issue Senator Black or himself and
rely On tho Presidents sense of honor?
Then came the thought, Would the pres
ident repua,ate his contract with Sena-
tor Black even though he knew all?
And, again, would not his course be I'M
justitiablef Senator Black was his
friend. OF that he was sure No, he
would not wrong his friend by even en-
tertaining such q thought
why do you refuse to see the sena-
tori" repeated the president.
Friederichs felt all the glow and
pride Of honest manhood as he replied,
"Mr. President, cannot tell you.
Frioderichs had no distinct recollec-
tion of how the interview ended. He
was heartsore and mentally confused.
How could he face the score of political
friends who expected something at his
hands? How could he bear the ieers,
taunts and ridicule Of the opposition?
How could he meet the sweet and pa
tient wife at home, who was already
chatting at his absence and fearful for
his success? In this state of mind he
entered his hotel and ordered writing
material sent to his room.
After leaving the White House Sena-
tor Black spent two hours at the CAPT
tol, two moro with some friends, and
then went to his apartments, where he
wrote the following note:

erence to federal appointments in and from

legations In the way of offices to discharge, and

The senator rang for his servant, who
at that moment entered at the hall door.

The senator glanced at the headlines
and turned pale. Then he read the story.

Del
The day after the inauguration Fried
erichs called at the White House, but he
did not see the president. The great
man was closeted with some statesmen
who were to occupy seats in his cabinet.
He left his card, on which was his no.
tel address. He was content to await
the great mans pleasure. The president
would, Of course, be besieged by office
seekers, and he would appreciate the
delicate courtesy of enc who had right
to intrude in not doing so. The presi-
dent would wish to soc him soon, of
course. He would wait until he should
be summoned.
A week went by. Two weeks, three,
and not word from the president. In
the meantime strong opposition to the

appointees had developed in the senate.
Senator Black was leading this opposi-
ton. It was too bad that Black still
misjuaged this great man and carried
his animosity to such an extreme. He
would see the president. Possibly he
could do something to put an end to the
antagonism and at the same time learn
the presidents intentions with reference
to himself. He FASTENED to the White
House and sent in his card.

In a moment more the door to the
