Washington. June p. The last meet

been held. Postmaster General Payne
was among the first 10 reach the cab
met room FL the executive building
Shortly after the members had as
sembled former Postmaster General
Smith, who had taken breakfast with
the president appeared at the execu-
tive building and was ushered into the
cabinet room.
The cabinet meeting was devoted
chiefly to the clearing up Of routine
departmental matters in anticipation
OF the presidents departure, although
Postmaster General Payne occupied
considerable time, not only in present
conditions as developed by the investi-
CATIONS now in progress in the post
office department, but in discussing his
future plans relative to the investiga-
ton.
In this connection it can be stated
authoritatively that the reports that
Postmaster General Payne contem-
plates retiring from the cabinet are I'M
true. It is well known that his health
Is not good and there is. Of course, a
possibility that he might suffer COM
plete breakdown or that he might be

this time the idea Of retirement Is not
entertained by him. He has plotted
out his future work in connection with
the investigation of his department
and Is anxious to finish it The presi-
dent it is said, has given expression
to his own feelings in the matter by
saying that he would permit him to re-
sign only in the event that it became
a matter Of life on death.

TWO MISSES


lOriginaLl
There had been a quarrel, indeed g
succession Of quarels, which had end
ed IN the husband going away from
his home preparatory to a separation
from bis wife. The terms had been ar
ranged by correspondence. They had
two children, a boy and a girl The ia.
fther was TO have the boy, the mother
the girl. The father had returned BY
appointment and the business part OF
the affair had been transacted. They
now approached the matter Of break.
ing the news to the children.
Call them in" said the father, turn
ing his back to conceal his emotion.
You co. said the mother with
tremolo in her voice Il must get

would not only pain them, but be ex.
circulating for us.
Very well; I viii go and fetch
them.p
He went out and in a few minutes
returned with the little girl in bis
arms, the boy dancing along, holding te
his fathers hand. Both were laughing
and shouting, for they had been sur

toward him.

The woman still stood with her back
10 him and the children. She was
striving to master her emotion Sud
denly, with an effort, she turned and
said composedly:
Proceed"

me, leaving mamma and Amy. You

The father knit his brows and, with

girl:
"You, Amy, dear, win stay with

''No. my child Arty Is going with

The girl looked into the serious face
Of her father. then at her sobbing moth

into her young mind. Going to her

that some calamity o9erhung them.
TIE mother sank into chair and
buried her face in her hands. The IA
Their leaned upon a mantel, the image
Of despair, The children, their young
faces clouded with their first serious
trouble, glanced from father 70 mother,
wondering what all this meant. There
was no sound except the mothers sobs.
Before husband and wife came the
same picture. Was it thought transfer
ence or because at this moment Of their
parting their minds naturally fell upon
the moment of most perfect bliss that
either had ever known? They We're ten
years younger. 1t was springtime, not
early spring, but the "leafy month Of
June" There Were music and dancing
within, and out on the piazza where
they had strolled into the moonlight
came through open windows and dooro
the sound of violin, harp and flute. Her
hand rested lightly on his arm, and he
led her to a nook under an overhanging
vine. It was there that they made up
their first quarrel there that he told
his story and there, secluded from the
moonlight, in the sound of a babel Of
merry voices. laughter and music, he
took his first kiss. This ecstatic mo-
ment now stood out in contrast with
the grim specter that confronted them,
and for the moment each, shutting out
the present, was lost in supremely
happy past.
The mother felt tiny arm about
her Then came another little larger
and stronger. She knew that her chill
dren were clinging to her. She looked
down at them. then up into the face OF
their father, whom they had drawn to-
ward her.

he might encircle them.
