 Fargis and Duncan had been plant CTS in their respective States and their fortunes having been marred by the Civil War they had emigrated to the Southwest and bought contiguous farms. They hated each other. The fued began as sometimes a great war begins-from trivial happenings. Far gis's hogs broke into Duncan's enclo- sure and damaged a crop. They were elected, but so strong was the mem ory of the Duncan turnip that they repeated the trespass and a hog Was shot. Then Duncans dog, oblivous of boundary lines, trotted across Fargfs field and he was shot. The dog was

 Washington. Dec. 2.-PostmasteF General Cortelyou declined tonight to say anything about the story that campaign fund of $225.00O had been made up from corporations for Mir. ,Roosevelt's campaign. and that $25,O00 of this sum had been collected from the Equitable Life Assurance Society. It was said, however. by a man whose connection with the Republican Ma tional Committee puts him in posi- ton to know the facts that the story is untrue.
 That there was a large fund collec- ted this man said was undoubtedly true, and it might be possible that cor porations contributed to 1t. But If they did there Is nothing to show what the corporations were or how much they gave There were many commit tees scattered throughout the country through which collections were made for this fund. These committees mere lv turned their collections over to the national committee without reporting on the amounts that made them up or the persons or corporations from whom and from which they came.

Will liam Duncan of Maryland, and Henry Fargis, of Virginia, however, missed it sadly While they held the two States on either side of the Potomac to be a special work of the Creator and possessing perfections that no other region might aspire to. they could not imagine a beneficent Providence deny ing any part of the world such pre- requisite of human happiness as mint.

 That one-eyed catcher Tom Geerton knew me like a book and l knew from the look out of that good lamp that he had me on his string. He handed the pitcher a signal and before l could get steadied a wide curve whizzed outside the plate and ping I went after 1t like an old washerwoman with battling stick. old Geerton just laughed a kind of snicker and the pitcher handed me another in the same place.

vanished for Tom Duncan, son of Will liam, and Sallie Fargis, daughter of Henry, dearly loved each other. The method of love making they were obliged to pursue was rapidly making dfplomatists of both, as neither dared allow the knowledge of their attach ment to reach their respective parents and their meetings called for the skill and trail-hiding ability of an In dian scout. Nevertheless, they met at intervals but with hopeless prospect of ever being more than lovers.
 One soft April day when the trees had opened their buds to the caress of the warm south wind and the newly arrived birds were twittering of nest making in their branches the two low CTS, sitting on a recumbent tree in a copse. were alarmed by heavy tread behind them, and turning looked into the angry eyes of Henry Fargis. q don't know as any of the Duncan family has ever been invited to my place." he said, drawingly.
 Tom Duncan was no coward, neither was he fool. He gulped down his re- sentiment at these inhospitable words. He did not care to burn all the bridges between himself and Sallie.

 Come" shouted Duncan, excitedly' my house is nearer"
 The spectacle of two mortal enemies hurrying towards the house, bespat- tered with mud and each bearing a green bunch of herbs aroused the curi- osity of the Duncan homestead. Mrs. Duncan's wonder grew as evidences came from down stairs of the inva- sion of her pantry where the sugar and whiskey were kept and also at the sight of Henry Fargis making spir- tied dash, pail in hand, for the spring behind the dairy. An incense was shortly waited up the stairs which caused her to sniff approvingly and murmur mint" Her eyes. involun- untarily, wandered to the window as if expecting to see, instead of the muddy river. the wide eXpanse of the Chesapeake Bay.

 where's the ball?" Where's the the ball? came in q scream from Geer- ron and the crowd was yelling like mad We didn't listen to nothing but kept on running.
 T can see old Tom Geerton now. The poor old mutton head was stum- bling around like horse with the blind staggers.
 Help. Help" yelled Tom but there was nothing doin! Nobody could see the ball.
 All of us dashed across the plate and as I puffed in with the winning run I ran over to see if l could help the one-eyed catcher.
 Well fellows. it's funny now. but it wasn't then. That ball had hit the eye hole in Geerton's mask and was lodged over his good lamp as if It was nailed. His other eye being on the bum he was like a man behind a drop curtain. He couldn't tell the difference between the diamond and the grandstand.
 With a hard jerk I pulled the ball out and handed it to poor Tom. Now what do you suppose he did? Why, that old crab got mad, ran up and touched me with the ball and claimed that l was out on strikes because the ball hadn't yet hit the ground He said the runs didn't count Just shows you what you get for doing some fellows a good turn" Everybody then drank a bumper to the meanest man in the business and the Christmas convention continued It's deliberations.

ting alongside a copperhead snake than a man of the tribe of Duncan. You see that snake fence beyond the wheat field? That's the line fence between your fathers ground and mine. You keep on his side of it. Come home, Sallie." and, pointing with his ca--e to the fence, he led his fearful daughter away.
 In the ensuing three weeks the low CTS managed to meet once and sad meeting it was. for Sallie, amid tears, informed her lover that she was to be sent East-to Virginia, for an in definite time. With that pessimism which is one of the extremes which lovers are prone to fly when accepted it as a permanent separation and be- moaned accordingly.
 Tom Duncan, mad with desire to confide in some one, told his trouble to his mother, and she retailed it to his father. MT. Duncan fumed at white heat. With remarkable incon- sistency he reviled Fargis for doing exactly what he would have done, for his consent had his son sought per mission to wed Fargis's daughter, and the fires of the feud were famed to renewed brightness.
 Back of the two farms was a stretch of woodland ontaining a de- pression through which ran d brook with marshy land on each side. As the most direct course to the village was through the wood a large tree hurled by the wind across this gully was utilized as a foot bridge. As William Duncan started across this bridge few days after Toms confi- dence to his mother, he beheld Henry
 Fargis place his foot on the other ex-
 tremity. Courtesy and necessity both framed the law that the passenger on the bridge first had the right of way, as two could not pass, and Duncan strode forward So did Fargis, until the two men stood midway glaring at each other.

tions, the Equitable Life Insurance Company furnishing $25,00o of that amount, and I know who had to do with the arrangements for the collec- tion of that fund. If the committee do- mates the truth of that statement let the officers of the committee De sus- pended"
 It is known to Senator Platt and to State Chairman Odell that President Roosevelt has said that he considers both of them discredited by the revela- tions made in the insurance lnVestlga- tion. It is because of this belief that he and Secretary Root are now taking a hand in New York County and New York State politics with a view to eliminating both Platt and Odell as factors in the State organization.
 It was recalled yesterday that when Judge Alton B. Parker made the charge that levies were being made on cor porations by the Republican National Committee for large sums, the charge was denied by President Roosevelt him- self, after a conference with Chairman Cortelyou. The President did not con tent himself with d mere denial He rebuked Judge Parker in severe terms for making such charge without proof.
 The proof of what Judge Parker charged has now been furnished by the testimony of the insurance Presidents and other officials. It is, of course, assumed that the President must have been in ignorance of the facts when he issued his denial. Hence the de- mand that Messrs. Cortelyou and Bliss be put on the stand to explain how 1t came that the President was kept i'll the dark about the contributions of the insurance companies, and to throw light upon the conditions under which those contributions were made.
 None of the insurance officials who testified to the contributions made by their companies threw any light on the conditions under which the con tributions were made. If Messrs. Cor telyou and Bliss were compelled to take the stand. it is believed, some interesting testimony would be elicited bearing upon that point.
 It has been said that Mir. Cortelyou Is without the Jurisdiction of the commit tee, but there Is little doubt that he would come on to New York to give his testimony if the counsel for the Arm strong committee indicated a desire to have it. Mr. Bliss is a resident of New York City and those who think full light should be thrown on all the con- ditions surrounding the giving of such large sums by the insurance compan- ies to the Republican National cam paign fund see no reason why MT.

New York Times.
 Governor Higgins's statement that he thought it might be inadvisable to continue the insurance investigation during the session of the Legislature. was the subject of general comment yesterday. Especially will there be great disappointment among the hnan- ciers who have been more or less dis credited by the revelations of the in yestigation if the Armstrong commit tee fails to call Postmaster r-GeneraI Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican National Committee. and Cornelius N' Bliss. its Treasurer. and to ask them about the contributions to the Repub- lican National Committees fund in the last campaign.
 To show that the desire to have Messrs. Cortelyou and Bliss put on the stand is genuine. one of the aggrieved' who has already been witness betore the committee, made this statement yesterday:
