HAPPINESS AGAIN

It Is evening. The hot and pitiless
August sun which all day has poured
ts sultry rays with utmost violence
upon the smothered city Of New York
has hidden its face In the curtains OF

face and large sorrowful eyes. has en-

terruptei. for she hears the sound OF
horses hoofs upon the pavement and
the merry laugh OF young voices near

splendid carriages dash by. each drawn
by rchlc span OF horses.
AT a glance she recognizes the occu-

Ralph Chapman and containing an in
yitation of welcome for that evening.
That night. arrayed in a gown OF
purest white muslin, with red roses in
her belt and in her hair, Constance
looked charming as she rose to receive
her lover and his cousin.
A formal introduction followed. and
as Constance raised her eyes to meet
those of Miss Bertrand her cheeks grew
pale and then flushed alternately as she
recognized the beautiful woman whom
she had seen Ralph with several times.
Recovering her natural grace and
composure, Constance welcomed her
guests. and the time passed so quickly

the Baltimore ADir,TcaH, as to the value

too. They came from every city and
state in the Union. They came 10 honor
Dewey, and in this they voiced the I'M
animous sentiment OF those they left at
home. Incidentally they seem to have
had another purpose in view There
was a naval officer in line who had been
given no official recognition. He had
been stripped OF honors by his govern
ment and exiled TO petty command in
tropical waters.
The great white fleet with which he
had struck down the pride and power OF
Spain was taken from him and put in
charge of one. who did not even smell
the smoke OF battle. That person was
parading at the head OF the gallant men
who had been behind the guns when
Cervera's fleet was sent TO the bottom.
II prearranged. nothing more could have
been done TO accentuate the hatred OF
the department and the petty persecu-
ton of the hero of Santiago. But the
people who assembled in New York TO
greet Dewey Believed that the man who
did the fighting was entitled to the glory,
and not the man who did not tarn up un-
ill the fighting was over. They assem-s
bled by millions to welcome Dewey be
cause he did the fighting. and not be-
cause he might have done il had he been
there. and with one accord they poured
out their hearts to tina: other man who
did the fighting Rear. Admiral Schley.
There were moments. and many of
them, as that magnificent pageant pass
ed on its way. when it was difficult to
distinguish which hero excited the more
enthusiasm. Dewey or Schley. Was
Dewey jealous or offended? Not a biz Of
it. Real heroes are never jealous Of the
laurels given to their comrades. The
sham heroes who strut in others shoes
are the sort who dread any favor given
to another. and hate the one who gets it.
No man in all those millions of people
was more delighted than Dewey at the
honors heaped on Schley. His is no.
bic nature, and cannot brook injustice
He knows Schley's deserts. andis panied
and astonished at his treatment. The
government should learn a lesson from
the incident. The people are rulers in
this country. and there could scarcely be
palmer expression of their wishes and
opinions than on Saturday.
