Charles Hedges, the intimate friend and
business associate Of H. T.. Rand, conGden.
iial clerk TO the Postmaster General, was
Yesterday summarly dismissed from his
$1,000 position as superintendent OF the
CITY delivery because evidence has been
secured Of his having faIsi6ed his pay
accounts. The Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General issued a statement showing several
instances in which Hedges had made oath
that he was in certain towns attending to
government business and had drawn per

matter Of fact, he was attending 10 private
business, examining mining property In
which he was interested, etc There are
other and even grayer charges against
Hedges which it is alleged are being inyesti-
gated They involve his having, in con.
nection with II. T.. Rand, lobbied the Parish
claim bill through Congress, a statutory
ofense carrying an extreme penalty Of S..
600 fine and one years imprisonment Its
generally believed that the only reason that
this charge has not been pushed more Wig
orously IS because Rand, who In addition 10
being an intimate friend Of Machen and
Hedges, is confidential clerk to Postmaster
General Payne, is involved in the matter
and il will probably be impossible to expose
Hedges without exposing Rand. Since the
last regular letter George w. Beavers, for.
mer superintendent Of the division Of salaries
and allowances, has been indicted bat has
not been arrested. That his arrest has not
been effected is due to the fact that he left
Brooklyn ana took refuge in New York

her emotions are stronger than his

Mrs. Bishop rose YEARLY to order the
cook to get his supper ready. and re-
turned to the veranda just as Alan was
coming from the stable. He sat down
on the steps, flashing the legs of his
dusty trousers with his riding whip.

of Importance to say, and they all
waited in impatient silence

There was another silence, and then
Alan began to explain
While he talked Mrs Bishop sat like
a figure cut from stone, and Bishop
leaned forward, his elbows on his
knees, his Big face in his hands. 1t
was as if a tornado of hope had blown
over him, shaking him through and

"You been doin' this to hep me out"
he gasped, IAN | never so much as

"I'd rather see you make money out
of that purchase than anything in the
world" said his son, with feeling.
"People have made fun of you in your
old age, but if we can build the road
and you can get your hundred thou
sand dollars some of these folks will
laugh on the other side of their faces"
Bishop was so full of excitement and
emotion that he dared not trust his
voice to utterance He leaned back
against the wall and closed his eyes,
pretending to be calm, though his alert
wife saw that he was quivering in ev-
cry limb.
ooh, Alan" she cried, don't you see
how excited your pa is? You ought
not to raise his hopes this way on such
an uncertainty. AS Mr.. Miller said

he said: "Good-a good idea, but you
must call Pole in and let me give. him
a few pointers. By George, he could

took him into his consultation room in

about fifteen minutes. When they came

from meddlesome people,"
When Pole had. left the office and
Miller had resumed his revolving chair,
Mrs. Bishop addressed him, looking
straight into his eyes.

hesitating way and yet with a note of
firmness dominating her tone-'I don't

Bishop wheeled and paused before
them. EFF Wilson puts up the money,
I'd have enough to lift the mortgage
an a clean $4,000 besides to put in
some good investment"
Aunt Maria, the colored cook, came
out and timidly announced that Alan's
supper was on the table, but no one
heard her She crossed the veranda
and touched the young man on the
shoulder.
"Supper's raidy, Marse Alan" she
said, zen it's gittin' col ergin."
He rose and followed her into the

customed place at the long table.
When he had eaten, he went back to
