New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some of her biggest
industries, especially that of boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter of a century of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts of
the world. Taxed hides would cripple
this and other industries. Her leading
senators pretend To represent her and
to put up a fight for free hides. In real
itv. if necessary. they will sacrifice free
hides TO obtain high duties on sugar
with plenty of margin for trust prof.
its. Just why this is SO should be
matter for senatorial investigation, IL
such investigation would only investi-
gate. Fortunately for the sugar trust,
but unfortunately for the rest of US
70.O00,000 people, the sugar trust un-
derstands well the art of making friends
where they will do the most good. II
has able attorneys TO advise it how 20
distribute its sweets to politicians aud
lawmakers and at the same time to
steer clear of jails.
In this way and in this way only can
we account for the attitude of not a few
prominent tariff makers at Washing
ton. The situation Is interesting-do
cidedly so.

TT was I'm the gray OF the morning
after Roberts funeral. His widow
sat in the larger of the two rooms that
had lately been their home. silent and
without tears-almost without thought
or memory, too, for the ordeal had left
her capable of little more than the con-
seriousness that he had left her, never
to come back.
Suddenly the first red rays of the
rising sun shot into the room. brighten

atmosphere. Slowly her faculties came

So dim and shadowy were the pic
lures of her childhood that the details
were lost. There was the death of her
father, and later that of the mother.
Then she was alone in the village where
their home had been. Her struggles
with life after that were shadowy, also,
till she met Robert.

said-though he would have to be alb
sent from the Office awhile. But they
had been thrifty and had money in the
bank-much more than enough to tide
them over an idleness of few weeks.
Robert had long needed a rest, and now
he could have il. She would care for
him much better than any trained
nurse, and they would still be happy
together.
But Roberts idleness lasted months
instead of weeks. The money in the
bank grew less. They gave up all but

He seemed to be friendly, but il so,
his friendship was voiceless, for they
never spoke to one another except when
speech was necessary; and he avoided
her as much as he could To his Gus
toners and acquaintances and to his
mother he talked freely. in her pres
ence his tongue was always slow and
awkward. Once when she raised her
eyes suddenly she found his fixed on
her face with strange expression that
might mean dislike or quite the re-

the old mother. whose keen eyes had
taken in the situation. said one day in
German. ''He is good son to me. and
he is not unfriendly to thee, but he does
not understand; he is bashful before
any woman but his mother"
His attitude toward her and the con-
tinued separation from her little one
were the only trials Roberts widow was
called to bear while her life with the
kind old German woman lasted. And
as she was allowed TO see the little one
every week. and as the child seemed
always well and happy. this latter was
not so much Of trial after all.
But there came time when Shultz
could no longer avoid his mothers
friend, nor yet keep silent before her.
1t was on the day she found the good
old woman, sitting peacefully in her
easy chair. her knitting in her hands as
usual. but quite dead. with smile on
her face that was not soon forgotten
by either of the two that were left.
To Roberts widow this seemed the
very climax of her bcreavcments. For

The first tear since Roberts death
rolled down his widows cheek.
"She SAYS" the acknowledgements

lonely too. She is getting a little old
