The haggard misery in his eye of that enduring
type which may be dulled, but cannot be drowned,
by rotations. He was taking his troubles like
child blaming himself for his folly and almost
ready to weep at the nonstrous injustice of it all.
He was indeed child, in the sense that the savage
is childish, overgrown BOBBY absolutely deficient
in self-contro1, and ready to crafty any passing
fancy without thought for the day of reckoning.
And now when that most unpleasant date in the
calendar of his life doomed dangerously near he
was nerving himself to meet it, not with a calm
front and cool judgment, but with the brandy bot
tie. He walked on, slashing at leaves and twigs
with his hunting crop, and muttering inarticulate
threats against everyone in general and Edith

Warren's vices far outweghed his virtues, let it
be placed his credit, nevertheless, that there
no alloy in the gold of his affection for his mother
Her austerity awed him little, though to him she
sometimes unbent sufficiently to show the womans
heart hidden beneath the exterior of marble placid
ity. For if Warren loved his mother, she her
part loved him with the intensity of which perhaps
only the self-contained are capable. She under
illusions to his intellectual capacity,
she blind to the faults that were beyond CLOSING

considered the possibility of Edith rich

by marriage with this paragon.
Warrens greeting to his mother trife
strained. He wondering how far he bore the
evidence of his efforts to quench the fire in his
breast by pouring spirits into it.
But if Mrs. Warren she did not comment

they must always have a certain stock
in hand in case Of war. Not only this,
but everywhere they have to deposit ,

When Commissioner Garfield wen;

mission to inspect their books, the con.
dition was made hat no information
he might obtain therefrom would be
used in court proceedings against
them.
Mr.. Garfield gave this pledge, 1t if
stated, and the packers allowed him
to study their business in all its de
tails from the inside.
Now, it Is announced, the results OF
his study have been turned over to the
government department Of justice to
be employed in legal prosecution OF
the packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured TO give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word, but the
governments. 1t is not his good faith,
but the governments. that is in ques

are guilty of engaging in a conspiracy
