When he stepped out into the hall,
the extra loaf hidden beneath the an
tique coats ample folds, he was joined
by a queer Puritan maiden who chat
ted and laughed until he could scarcely
believe it was his serious-eyed rescuer.
AS they descended the stairs she re-
marked, quite too loudly, he thought:
Lets go out and see if the soldiers are
about" and with her dainty hand hut-
tering on his sleeve they stepped
through the wide doors to the porch.
Quick as thought the strangers dark
mustache touched the slender fingers
resting On his arm and he was gone
No one noticed. that the Puritan
maiden returned alone or wondered
what had become of the oddly-dressed
individual who had accompanied her.
When just before the gray of morn
ing the last guest had departed, Lucy
Dean sat thinking before the fire in
her room. Had she done right, she
wondered, or had she done wrong?
Almost the latter, she was afraid; but
then as the haggard face and limping
gait of the stranger-he was a Virgin
ian, he said-came before her, she felt
that she would do the same thing
again.
But The hatchet! She blushed lit
tie to think that she should have ac-
cepted the emblem of so much of truth
and uprightness, even in the hilarity OF
4 game, when in fact she was so little
deserving of it. After all, she med
itated. some people pronounced the
hatchet story a myth She would not
worry about it
But she would get the hatchet- She
remembered now where she had left it
in the storeroom where the stranger
rested.
Quietly she fitted along the hall and
into the barren apartment Her lamp
illuminated the rubbish there gathered
and showed a gray cape over by the
window. She did not notice that, how
ever; she was searching for the hatchet
She knew where she laid it-but it was
gone!

A Teamstcr Who Claimed to Have as Good
Right to the Road as tho President.
Despite his great personal dignity.
reserved manners, and his aristocratic
bearing, Washington had a warm heart
for the humblcst, and. especially after
his revolutionary experiences, SYM
pathy with common folks. Besides the
many anecdotes in print and well
known, the following, we think, illus
trates strikingly this trait. 1t was first
told by Alfred Ely, D. D.. who was. we
believe, an eye and ear witness of the
incident. DIR. Ely was afterwards for
sixty years pastor of the church in Mon
son, Mass, and from his daughter

written word:' . - ..--=z-r-
'1n the autumn of 1889, during Wash
ington's first presidential term, he
made a journey to Boston, following
up the west side of the Connecticut
river, and crossing it at Springfield.
He travelled in his English coach drawn
by four horses. with footmen, postil-
lions and ortriders.
''As they approached the river in the
town of West Springfield, one of the
outriders galloped ahead and held a
parlcy with the driver of loaded hay
wagon, to induce him to turn out and
allow Washington's chariot to pass.
He refused to yield an inch of the road,
and the state chariot patiently fol-
lowed the wagon for some distance,
until, at a safe point, it passed by to
the bank of the river.
''While waiting for the ferry boat,
Washington stepped out of his coach,
when one of the outriders approached,
and, saluting him deferentially, said,
with an air of injured dignity:
"'Your excellency, as l was riding
along, a little way back, we overlook
a man with a loaded cart, which occu-
pied the entire road. ! asked him to
stop his team, and let us pass; but he
refused. l then told him President
Washington was in the coach. He re-
fused again, saying that he had as
good right to the road as President

ply, retired in silence"

Mr.. Adams. although yet a young man,
has been closely identified with the
progress of his city and county for many
years, and in local business circles no
name is better known and but few have
greater weight than his. He is the prin-
cipal owner of the Union National Bank,
and is president of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Savings Bank.
But his interests are not alone confined
to banking, for his property interests are
vast. His father, Edison Adams Sr.. came
to Oakland in the early days and acquired
a huge landed property consisting of hun
dreds of acres around the northern arms
Of Lake Merritt and in other portions of
the city and county.
Since his fathers death Edison Adams
Jr. has managed this estate. One of the
greatest Improvements be has undertaken
is the filling in of a large tract fronting the
estuary at the foot of Harrison street.
Mud has been dredged from the estuary
and thrown behind bulkhead 5000 feet in
length. Mr.. Adams intention is to con-
struct wharves and warehouses at this
point in the not very distant future.

SHERIDAN'S SYSTEM.
A Good Story About the General and
His Slippers.

good story OF General Sheridan was told the
other day by Mexican, an intimate friend OF
the great Northern soldier in his lifetime. One
day calling on the commander of the army al his
Office IN Washington, he found him at his desk

cratealy placed on the top of the desk.
While The general was apparently absorbed in
some writing, the Mexican gentleman, who
thought some servant bad left the warriors
shoes In the wrong place, took his cane and
gently deposited the shoes on the fiOoI. The
next day the Mexican called on Sheridan and
found him at his desk, shoes on top as before
The polite resident OF the tropics began once
more removing his shoes TO the hoor, when all
at once Sheridan roaTed out:

Du ring the week the University has got
fully under way, and the increase of iu-
trants was brought into full realization by
the crowded condition of the freshmen
recitation rooms. The classes are so large
that many students are obliged to Stand,

able kind of support, from the insruc-
