The Boy Webster.

: Daniel Webster as a lad is thus de.
scribed by John Bach McMaster, the
historian, in the first of his illustrated
papers on the statesman, published in
Century: AS the boy grew in years
and stature his life was powerfully
affected by the fact that he was tho
youngest son and ninth child in fam
lily of ten; that his health was far
from good; that he showed tastes and
mental traits that stood out in marked
contrast with those of his brothers and
sisters; and that he was, from in.
fancy, the pet of the family. Such
daily work as farmers lad was made
to do was not for him. Yet he was
expected to do something, and might
have been seen barefooted, in frock
and trousers, astride of the horse that
dragged the plow between the rows of
corn, or raking hay, or binding the
wheat the reapers cut, or following the
COWS to pasture in the morning and
home again at night, or tending logs
in his fathers sawmill. When such
work was to be done it was his Gus
tom to take a book along, set the log,
hoist the gates, and while the saw
passed slowly through the tree-trunk,
an operation which, in those days, con-
sumed some 20 minutes, he would settle
himself comfortably and read"

An ordinary business man calculates
the advantages of a contract according
to the terms of the contract itself. Eng
land, France and Germany require of
ship companies drawing governmental
subsidy contracts setting forth in detail
the services which the ships are to per-
form under the contract. The pending
subsidy bill in congress provides for
contract. The only thing in the con-
tract that the ship companies agree to
do is to build ships equal to the ton.
mage drawing subsidy in American
yards. An examination willshow that
these ships can be paid for exclusively
out of the subsidy. The contract does
not provide that these ships shall ever
be run unless additional subsidy is de-
sired upon the ships. They can be sold
at once to either Americans or foreign
ers. They do not contract for any
amount Of speed or any number of
trips; they do not: contract for any re-
duction Of freight rates; they do not
contract for any services as auxiliary
cruisers; the only thing that they con-
tract to do is to use part of the sub
sidy money in building ships for them
selves. Let any business man place
himself in the position Of the govern
ment concerning this matter, and what
would he think of the value Of his con-
tract? -: 80

He seemed deeply shocked by this
confession. For several minutes he sat
staring at her dumbly. Presently he
pulled himself together. Later in his
life he recalled his reply and regarded
it in the light of an inspired prophecy.

smile upon him.

He made no reply. The freight

did nothing but what mans earliest

CHAPTER VIII.

A. the major and his wife were be-
ing driven up to the pier where the
Cleopatra lay, his agitation increased.
1T will soon be over" he sighed.
''You will cable me as soon az you
land, won't you, Jeanne?"
There was just hint of hesitation
in the look she gave him, then:
Eyes, dear Rowland" she said, ''the
moment land; but my letters. re-
member, must go to the box"
II shall simply haunt the place." he
declared.
They alighted from the cab and
walked along the pier through the
hurrying throng of cabmen, draymen,
passengers and people who had come
to see their friends off, Reaching
the gang plank, lowered, for the ac-
commodation of the saloon passen-
gers, they saw Mrs. Nolan on the up
per deck leaning against the railing
and trying to attract their attention.
Mrs. Goddard laughed merrily and
waved the bit of cambria she held in
her hand.
Lets go right up" she said to her
husband. II want you to see our big
rooms. You will agree with me that it
is better to go in boat that is not
quite so fast than to miss such quarters
as have engaged"
He complied. The attention her
beauty and stylish appearance had at
tracted from the bystanders had not
escaped his eye. His heart was beat
ing madly as he followed her up the
gangplank to the first deck. In a mo-
ment they were shaking hands with
Mrs. Nolan. Goddard's handshake was
a mere cold Formally. He now hearth
~ disliked his wife's homely confeder-
ate. He despised her for being weak
enough to obey Jeanne's criminal Or
ders; she had not, he argued, his own
excuse of being blindly in love. AS they
stood there he felt as if they were
three murderers passing before the
world as reputable, well-to-do citizens.
"Well, let me see your staterooms,' ~
he said, resignedly.
"They are on this deck, the last
towards the STERN" said Mrs. Goddard,
leading the way. ''In fact, there are
no other apartments up here except the
captains, and his quarters are further
forward. We shall be absolutely pri-
vate."
They had now reached a door to
which Mrs. Nolan had the key, and

I can't tell him from anybody else on
the pier"
''Then I shall stop; my arm aches
DO you think he will do as wish?"
II don't know him as we'll as you
do" Mrs. Nolan evidently laid no
claim to perspicacity. ut looks to me
like a mighty easy way to- make
money, but, of course, as you said the
other day, it all depends on your grip
on him. think what we have to fear
more than anything is his preachy
tendency. Nobody but you would dare
to attempt to work man like he is. -
Eyes, it all depends on the grip" ad-
mitted Jeanne; land the longer we are
separated the less my influence will be;
so you see the absolute need of striking
while the iron is hot"
Mrs. Nolan threw startled look into
her companions calm face.
"Striking while the iron is hot?''
she repeated, interrogatively.
Eyes; now come into the stateroom;
we must clearly understand each
other''
When they were in their room, Mrs
Goddard closed and locked the door,
Then they sat down and conversed in
whispers for an hour.
'Oh, I WISH" protested Mrs. Nolan,
when the conference was ended, II
wish you would postpone it till we are
on land. I am such poor actress
"Well, it simply has to be done, and
after considering a dozen plans there
could be nothing so good as this. I
couldn't tell him it would be so soon,
for he would have backed down on the
spot: When the news is telegraphed to
him from Liverpool, and when he sees
the papers full of the details, he will
not dare to open his mouth. Even if /
should fail, you see, they would con-
clude- that the whole thing was simply
the conduct of an insane person.
"The whole scheme stamps you as a
regular genius" said Mrs. Nolan. Are
you sure you can stand the ordeal, and
that there is enough for you to eat in
the basket? It will not seem right for

1t: WA the third day ont. The sky
was cloudless and the sun was throw
ing down a: genial warmth upon long
rows of passengers in steamer chairs
and rugs on the deck. Mrs. Goddard
and her companion sat side by side. An
inclination towards >sociability had
drawn most of the passengers together
in half-hearted efforts at entertain
ment, but the two characters belonging
to my history held themselves quite
:aloof from all.
The captain, who as habit spoke
to few of his passengers, seemed to have

CHAPTER VII.

In the morning, before the hour for
leaving for the ship. Goddard saw his
wife walking about in the cherries
garden. The day was moderately
warm and still. and the sun shone
clearly. He went out and joined her.
His face was careworn and sallow.
She looked up as he approached.
"A beautiful day to sail on" she
said, with bewitching smile.
Yes, indeed" he said, looking her
over from head to foot. He discov-
cred fresh charms in her in the new
gray travelling dress and hat! These
things made the parting pangs in his
breast all the more keen.

reading his admiration in his glance.
1T is pretty, isn't it?"
''Yes, it is very pretty, but that is
not wonderful. You never wore any
thing that wasn't just what it should
be-"
She glanced at the veranda, on the
edge of which stood her trunks, hand
bags and rolls of steamer rugs, pill
lows and a deck chair.

"Oh, Lucy has agreed to meet me at

Mrs. Goddard took a sealed envelope
from her pocket and gave it to him.

him.
But what are they?" he asked, feel
ing small object through the paper.
1T contains card and key, dear.
The card is the address of a private
letter box on Sixth avenue, and the
key is to open, whenever you like.
box No. $685."
Goddard fumbled them distastefully
without comment for a moment, but
with a furtive glance toward the
house, his wife took them from him,
and with playful air put them into
the pocket of his coat.
''You know" she explained, with q
little frown, lit may be that I shall
want to write to you in some other
way than by directing my letters to
Lyndhurst."
''Oh, Jeanne, these awful-sawful de-
tails"
"And here is a London address" Mrs.
Goddard interrupted, her tone sharp
and businesslike, as she gave him an
other card. 1T has only Mrs. Nolan's
address and name on it. All your let
ters must be sent to her."
He stood so helplessly before hcr that
she had to place that card also into his
pocket.
II am almost afraid you will be too
weak and silly to do all I tell you," she
said, sharply. IF you fail, shall never
see you again, and" She did not fin
ish her threat, but the suggestion of it
had the desired effect on him.
II will try to do all you want, Jeanne,
and hope it will result in our ultimate
happiness"
