so despite all our efforts to get him out
Of the miro and make him presentabla."
When my father thus ended, as
founded him with q succession Of roars
of laughter. As soon as could COM
mand my tongue said: My dear ia
ther, congratulate me upon my sagacity
and the success Of my efforts! Under the
name of Rawson You have been talking
with Jepson for the last two hours, not
the old Jepson, but the new Jepson that
have constructed from the ragged rem
nants Of the man we picked up on the
street a few hours ago-the Jepson we
shall hereafter know
My father declaredtha tho rehabilita-
ton Of Jepson constituted the most re-
markable transformation he had ever
seen or heard Of. After had given him
my report of Jepson's conduct and reso-
lutions my father was ready to swear by
him. He said he would have Jepson
hypnotized in order to keep him in his
new and approved shape. This he actu-
ally did the very next day, Jepson freely
asserting to the operation.
My father afterward told me with q
cunning chuckle that he had given the
hypnotizer S. extra and instructed him
to "give it to Jepson good and strong on
the drinking business, and also to hit
him heavy on his bump of religion and
bring him squarely back into the fold Of
God" ~.
Jepson was not lazy. He set to work
at once on the genealogy and in two
days had made all the notes he required.
Arranging credits for Jepson at certain
places, we then left New York for Pas
onagessit. The caskets containing the
ashes Of our ancestors and the tomb
stones were to remain at the undertak-
er's until sent for.
When we came to take leave of Jepson,
he announced to US that with the changed
course he had taken in life he had de-
cided to change his name. He said his
mothers maiden name was Mowbray and
that his full name was Walter Mowbray
Jepson. He wished to drop the Jepson,
which no had carried through so many
years of disgrace and misery. He begged
US never again to address him by his old
name of Jepson, unless we found him
drunk. Henceforward he desired to be
known only as Walter Mowbray.
To this we readily assented, and from
that hour it was down Jepson and up
Mowbray.' His landlady never heard the
name of Jepson. To her and all the new
acquaintance he made in New York he
was Rev. Mr.. Mowbray," the .'rever-
end" being an addition made by the pub
lie.

The opportunity at last so unexpect-
edly presented to pull himself up to his
former level Of responsibility appeared
to give him far more pleasure than did
my fathers assurance that he would re-
ceive $500 in case of his work being per-
formed in satisfactory manner.
After the matter Of the funeral Grafton
had been sufficiently discussed ! took
Jepson in charge and sailied forth with
him. My father was left behind to study
tho genealogical record of the johnson
family, an occupation in which he was
capable of becoming SO deeply absorbed
as to become utterly oblivious OF all
other earthly things. He handled the
huge parchment with more reverential
care than he would have bestowed upon
the most sacred relic in the Holy City.
My first care was to take Jepson to a
good restaurant and give him a meal
such as he had probably not eaten in five
years. After he had eaten his fill he de-
clared that he felt so we'll he was glad J
had refused him the lone drink" for
which he had at first asked.
Next took him to a secondhand
clothing store and rugged him out in
full suit of ministerial cut and color that
was almost as good as new; also pro-
cured for him good supply of linen and
underwear to be sent to an address he
would presently leave at the store.
This done, marched my man to bar
Der shop and had clean sweep made Of
the shaggy beard that covered his face
also caused his hair to be cut in the latest
fashion. This done, he was given bath
"a regular scrubbing-arrayed in his
clerical suit and again placed in the bar
ber's chair for final polishing.
When all was done, Jepson became a
fine, benevolent looking old gentleman.

WALTER JEPSON REHAB1L1TATED.
When Walter Jepson, arrived at the
hotel, we took him to our rooms and out
lined to him the work we expected him
to undertake. He was delighted with
the proposal. That those who were to
appear as central figures in his discourse
had been persons of rank and title gave
him great satisfaction, as it seemed to
him that the circumstance would at
once lift him out of the slough of
despond" and elevate him to a decent
position among his kind. He looked

city this morning. The convention, which
viii last three days. has brought together
very large crowd of Christian workers,
who are imbued with the beauty and the
earnestIess of tkeir work. A finer looking
body of men has rarely been seen in this
city. They have come from all parts of the
county to- work together for the advance
ment of the Masters cause on earth.
larger representation of the brother
hood and its council are in the city than
have ever attended any of the conventions
even the one last year in Detroit. The an
nual convention of the brotherhood COM
bines spiritual work of the highest AMI
noblest sort with the business features of a
great body like this. 1t is a body of Chris
tian workers. men who believe in the ne
cessity for brotherly work well as in the
efficacy of faith. The convention opened
this morling as a convention of this sort
should, with a religious service. This was
held in the Church of the Epiphany, and
was conducted by Bishop Paret of Mary

brotherhood. Rt Rev. William Paret, d d.
who was formerly pastor of the Church of
the Epiphany, is one of the most eloquent
preachers in the Episcopal Church. He is

mere announcement that he is to conduct
a service is all that Is necessary to crowd
a church. Many applied for admission to

MAIL BAG SHOP ACCOUNTS.
An Improved System to lie Devised
GroundIess CHARGES.

A committee appointed by Mr.. Nelson, the
second assistant postmaster general, is en-
gagged in devising a form of keeping the ac-
counts of the mail shop. Mr.. Nelson found
that the system in vogue was not exactly, in
his opinion, the best that could be used for
the purpose, and therefore he decided to
make an improvement If possible. This COM
mittee has not yet completed its labors
AS certain charges had been preferred
against Major Tyler, who is chief of the
division having charge of the shop, the
committee were instructed by Mr.. Nelson
TO investigate and ascertain the facts
Among some of the charges were the allie
cations that blanks for keys had been pur-
chased at a certain rate and turned over to
the government at an increased rate II
was also alleged that useless machinery had
been purchased; that favoritism had been
exercised in selecting the employees, and that
the democratic employees were Disseminated
against.
Mr.. Nelson said to a Star reporter that
all the charges had been fully investigated
and found to be entirely groundless. The
committee is devoting its time TO the work
for which 1t was appointed, namely. devils
ing system of accounts.
