sound.
Slowly and cautiously the man in the cor
ner crouched forward and down, his curlos-
ity overcoming his fear. The dog crouched,
too, and both lay with their eyes glued to
the open space beneath the cheeks, SILVER
ing together in common sympathy.
There was man in the room-a native
standing with his back to the windows SO
that Abdulla could not see his face. At
first he was sure it was thief who had
gotten in by a side door to which the Sahip
alone was supposed to have the key, ana
which led by narrow way through the
garden and out into the lane which skirted
the hospital. So sure was the hamal, that
he loosed the chain quietly from the dogs
collar and had his hand on the cheeks to
lift them and let the quivering amman
visitors attitude arrested him and struck
cold fear to his heart. His arm closed tight
round the dogs neck again, and he pulled
the big body close in to his own brown chest
to dull the sudden jumping of his heart.
That was no bhudmash choor! He took In at
one swift glance the stately figure, the rich,
refined dress and the strange but graceful
movements, as the man flung out his arms
forbiddingly and stepped little to one side.
And he listened, fascinated to the low voice
that broke out reproachfully as though 1t
were addressing some nearby person; and
gradually, as he listened, there came
q certain awesome familiarity with the
voice. which chilled the hamal with added
terror.
Still the strangers back was turned. and
still came those quick, nervous and some
times broken ENTHUSIASTICALLY reproach-
full EXPLANATIONS, but again, impatient
questions. for an answer to which he would
seem to wait with head and body bent for
ward, and then speak quickly as though ne
had received 1t.
Once he cried out quite petulantly: mo.
no. no! It's useless to ask! / will not go
out till it is done. Brother. why dost thou
not rest in peace! Eh-what? No, no; l
toll fhoa have done all I could. and my

and that there will be nothing to fear from
an ice gorge at this point.
Mr.. Mcfarland states that Commodore
Sutton has looked after the breaking of the
ice in the river in highly efficient and sat
isfactory manner and displayed splendid
judgment with regard to the proper time to
begin the work.
In the hearing before the congressional
committees last year Commissioner Mac
farland spoke in high terms of praise of
Mr.. Sutton's efficient services as harbor-
master. His duties. he said. were exactng
and various, and at all times the harbor-
master had been found to be absolutely
honest faithful and efficient.
IT still retain that former good opinion
of Commodore Sutton" said Mr.. Macfar-
Land today. He not only performs his du-
ties well and faithfully. but he Is likewise
economical in the expenditure of the pub
lie funds appropriated for the use OF his
department.

st. Louis. July Parker to be nom
mated for Presidency by the Demo-
Gratis on the first ballot, is the confident
prediction Of David b. Hill and his lieu
tenants. This prediction. the correct
ness Of which is more than half con-
ceded by the anti-Parkerites is based
on the action of the Pennsylvania dell
egation. which has formally rejected
the proposition of Bryan to cast a
complimentary ballot for Robert T..
Pattison and has voted unanimously to
throw Pennsylvania's votes to Parker.
The position OF the Pennsylvania del
egation is that for twelve years the
Keystone Democrats have been outside
the breastworks of regular Democracy.
Last night an opportunity was offered
them to decide the Presidential nomi-
nation by aligning with the Hill-Bel-
mont-Sheehan combination. Unwilling
longer to occupy the eQuivocal position
OF insurgents. they determined to get
into the procession at a time when they
could claim the front rank by right of
seniority.
Bryan is despondent and Parker s
nomination is regarded as assured.
