Mexico Missouri message., 1902-08-07

Drew himself up onto one of the
tie rocky farm which he had left be-
cause 1t was too slow.
She had never doubted him for a
moment, or ceased to think of the
time when he was to provide lovingly
for her old age. When some Of his
worst escapades had been reported
she had smiled wistfully, but hopeful.
ly. "Sammys young" she had said,
an doesn't realize. He's a good boy
an will do better when he's older.
Him an mes goin' to live together
agin some time; he'll be layin' by for
il pretty soon"
Something swelled in the young
mans throat as he remembered how
many times he had heard her say that
and how many times he had declared
in moments of boyish repentance, that
he was going to take care of her when
he was a man. Even after he left he
had once written home that he was
'goin' to git some money laid by pref
ty soon" All through these three
years she had written regularly and
lovingly, and though he had answered
only briefly and at long intervals, her
faith in him had not for an instant
wavered. Even now he had letter
in his pocket, received three days be-
fore, and not yet opened.
Down here in the depth of the hold.
alone, with everything he had known
about to be left behind, his heart had
suddenly grown tender and sore. 1t
might be years before he would see
the gentle old face again. and at the
thought his fingers reached 70; the
letter and drew II out softly and ten
derby. But 1t was already dark in the
hold and he could not see.
For a moment he stroked it re-
morsefully, then he pushed the case
aside and CROPPED his way out among
the boxes and bales. He would seek
the hatchway or some place where
there was light enough to read the
letter. He must find out what the old
mother had to say; aud he would re.
turn-he woodland do everything
that he had promised. He would go
back TO the little farm and take care
| Of the mother In her old age. He
could make a living there, and that
was more than he was sure of In a
city.
For an hour there had been the
final sounds OF departure overhead
but he had not noticed this, AS he
went forward, however he was con
scious of peculiar sensation Of ris
ing and falling. which told him that
the ship was under way.
The hatchway was not closed, blu,
even there IL would have been toe

SECRETARY SHAW ENERGETIC.

New Head of Treasury Department
Sets a Hot Pace.
Secretary Shaw is the most indus
trious member of the Presidents cabi
net, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Brooklyn Eagle. Shortly
after he succeeded Lyman J. Gage, Mr.
Shaw startled the treasury Waterman
by appearing at the department one
morning promptly at 8 o'clock. The
doors were unlocked by the wonder
ing attendant, who thought that the
secretary's home clock had slipped a
cog or two.
The next day Secretary Shaw turned
up at the same hour, and he has kept
up the practice ever since. Few treas
ury officials are able to maintain the
pace set by their chief. The latter's
private secretary, Robert B. Arm
strong, comes nearer doing this than
any of the others. and he manages to
get at his desk somewhere near s
o'clock each morning. Only once he
reported ahead of the secretary, how
ever. The latter gets an early start.
He rises at o'clock every day, eats
his breakfast at 7, and by the time the
hands of the clock point to he is at
the department.
II is safe to say that this Is some
thing that no other cabinet officer has
done for more than few days at a
time.

He said he knew a fellow who bought
a white flannel yachting suit once and
got caught in the rain and had to go
home in a cab. l said l wouldn't have
minded that, but changing color was
another thing.
Then, you know, how men are. He
said: Just put on a heavy veil and

thing, and thought he'd had an cleo
trio shock. l asked what was the
matter.

of a tip said he, and he began to
tell the others what had happened.
Then he told me of the horse Blues
that was to run at Sheepshead Bay.
He said there was tip out on him.
