ed him against a chair, and he
had looked up at her with round
eyes of wonder; then, when her
meaning came to him, he had
not hesitated a moment, he had
thrown back his little head,
and, with a scream of delight,
walked bravely forward right
into her loving, waiting arms.
And now-now-S Size brushed
aside her tears, for she heard
fat Their coming.
Father entered the room
quickly, but paused on the
threshold. To tell the truth,
he had thought mother down
stairs. He had been trying to
remember, that day when Bob
had ridden the new pony for the
first time so pluckily, whether
the lad had been breeched or
not. He knew the picture was
on mothers dressing table, and
he had come in to look at it,
and there stood mother with
t he photograph in her hand.
'Humph" exclaimed father,
$50 you have not gone DOWN."
and his voice was not concilia-
t DRY. for he felt that every one
that morning, himself included
was wearing his heart on his
sleeve, and sense of lost dig
nifty was irritating him.
Mothers heart swelled at the
tone; she put down the photo
graph and looked up at father
with look in which reproach
a nd sorrow mingled, and then
suddenly she turned aside and |
her hands busted themselves
a mong the brushes and trays on
the dressing table, for her quick
eye had detected that father
was wearing odd boots-a but
ton ed and laced up one. To
think of it! He, the soul of pre-
to thus betray himself.
But there his abstraction stood
confessed. And oh, how moth
er loved him for it! He had
been such stole, too. Well,
there was no accounting for
mans ways, but, thank God, he
had put ON odd boots that morn
ing. She no longer felt lonely
in her grief. He cared, too; his
heart was aching also for their
sons departure. Oh, those
blessed odd boots!
But she knew his nature and
stood for moment wondering
how best to tell him of his mis-
take without annoying him.
And presently mother, on her
way downstairs, tapped at the
dressing room outer door. Zone

stroyed During Armenian Riots.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2i--Oscar c. straus.
United States minister to Turkey, after
oontnrring with state department offic-
tais on Monday I'm Washington. returned
TO New York and IS now enjoying the he
ginning of his three months leave of ah-
sence. He said last night that he had no
intention of resigning his office although
there had been rurnors to the effect that
be had become somewhat tired OF rhe
duties.
Asked what progress the Turkish gov
eminent had made with reference 20 in
Identifying the American owners OF prop
erty destroyed during the Armenian
troubles. he said; Until my arrival there
Turkey had denied liability for those
property damages. but since then the gov
ernnent's liability has been admitted and
the sultan has not only promised TO pay
but he has twice repeated that promise
That he will have 10 pay the several
claims within a reasonably short time
there Is no question. and l credit him with
the intention of fulfilling his promise. The
sum Involved is less than 500 Geo"
Did the Spanish war and the victory OF
Dewey at Manila make us any better
known In Turkey?' Mr.. Straus was asked
They certainly do just that thing, and
the Oriental world has far better APP

than ID had before"
