perfled my honor, and I was thoroughly
angry at his air of being always in the
right AS l have said, 1 had heard Of
such agencies all about me- In another
department L knew the agent for an in
surance company a division chief who
solicited policies among MS subordi-
mates, had his customers examined in
his private office, by the assistant chief
who was a physician, and dictated his
reports to his office stenographer in Of
flee hours. A little while before, that
would have shocked me. Now my only
question was: Did he neglect office work
to attend to these applications? [ did
not seem to realize his offense in So
licltlng among his subordinates prac-
t1cally by means of duress.
Colonel Powell would not discuss the
matter. 1t was thing L had to de-
| eide for myself, he thought Mr.. Cham
berlatn saw no harm in the enterprise
at all. but he advised against advertis-
ing 1T. If l meant to accept such an
agency. therefore, L must not only take
time for it, which already belonged TO
| another, but also conduct It's business
half under cover. like a pawnbroker
who receives stolen goods.
Yet L hesitated, So numb had my SEN
sibilities become. I ended it all only
| by taking the problem home to Annie

what she would say. But I needed to

Phillip he said, with more quiet even
than usual, what you fear about your

He did, however, with his lips purSed
until his imperial stuck out straight.
How much of this is my idea it would
be improper to tell. But l can say this,
I think: That 1 would either have in
creased your salary to make II common
sIlrate with your work, or appointed
another chief and made him do the
work, or abolished the office. The best
I could do toward one OF these three
courses was to arrange thai Mr.. Jen-
nings shall stay in my room. and that
YOU shah stay where you are as a Sec
ton chief"
There was nothing to say in reply-so
l said it. Evidently Colonel Powell had
done everything he could TO adjust the
matter equitably and had failed The
proceeding was clearly distasteful 10

Within a day of her visit to the Office
had been transferred from my window
in Colonel Powelrs large room to
O'Mara's old desk. Ny few papers and
many books were lost in its gaping
commandments that had covered over
the old chiefs promises with the dust

The next morning I obtained from
Mr.. Rutterly the name Of a District
insurance agent who would proba bly,
do business with me. I meant 10 ac-

into bargain I did not really desire

with two letters from men OF influence
which would Indicate my prospective

I asked Colonel Powell and Mr.. Cham
berlain to write those letters. Both
OF them refused, and the repulse made
me feel like a thief. The ground they
took was that they could not officially
approve the introduction Of non-govern-
mental business into the department.

he said:

HARTMAN WILL APPEAL.
VIII Carry Securities Case to the
 Cnited States Supreme Court.

Cnited states Supreme Court.
 New York. Jan. 5.--That the North ern Securities case will be taken to the United States Supreme Court on Q writ of certiorari by E. H. Hartman and the other interests allied with him, was announced by w. D. Guthrie, of counsel for the Hartman faction, to- day.
 Copies of the decision of the United states Court of Appeals were received by counsel today. After perusaI of the decree, MT. Guthrie said the applica- ton for the writ would be made to the Supreme Court as soon as the court reconvenes.
 The Court of Appeals dissolved the injunction which had been secured by the Hartman interests restraining the distribution of the assets of the North ern Securities Company and its decision was in effect a defeat for the efforts of MT. Hartman and Winslow S. Pierce to secure the return of the Northern Pa cific stocks which they turned over to the Northern Securities company and which are valued at SIS,09S,00O.
 IL is understood that a writ of csr- tiorari from the Cnited Staes Supreme Court will act as a stay and prevent the distribution of the Northern Pacific stock held by the Great Northern cOmpanY.
