WILL RESUME At EARLY DATE
Cooperage Shop That Was Burned
Out Will Be Rebuilt.

The Z. c. Deinlein Cooperage COM
pany, located in the rear of 2202 Sixth
avenue, which was burned out Tuesday
night, will resume operations as soon
as the building can be repaired and
new equipment installed. 1t had been
operating but two weeks. The proprie-
tor is inclined to believe that the blaze
was incendiary. He states that it was
impossible for it to have started from
a fire left in the building by employees,
as there was none there after o'clock
in the afternoon. There was no in
surance on the contents and he fig
ures the loss on stock and equipment
at $3.50. That on the building is fully
covered.

Nailed the Lies.

Senator Stone, of Missouri, while din
ing with a party of friends a few
nights ago in an uptown hotel, told
this story after concurrence OF ideas
among the party that there were fewer
campaign lies told during the last CAM
paign than any other they could re-
member.
The son of friend of mine. a poll
itician in Missouri, has a young and
precocious boy who got interested in
politics from hearing his father talk so
much. The boy came to his father
one day and asked:

by his own hand. Some one else must
have told you the story about his re-
tirement to Italy. | have never heard

The king looked at his oily-tongued
servant long and suspiciousIy, but
such was the confidence placed in him
and so great was his influence over
the royal mind that Louis finally with
drew his gaze, and muttering, II must
have signed it without looking at the
name" he seized a pen, and taking up
the unsigned commission before Kim.
interDolated a few words and hur-
riedly wrote the word Louis" then
handed it to Tonti. saying:
Shame On IN ungrateful king! Ac-
cept this commission as a partial re-
turn for your own wrongs In it | have
added several privileges additional.
AS to the injustice to your father, be-
lieve me, Louis, who loves to be called
the just will watch over your en-
deavOrs in the new world and reward
them tenfold, making up to the son in
some measure the wrong suffered by
the father at my hands. Go, and may
success be yours, and let it be known
that he who opposes you strikes at the
king"
Tonti received his commission in 81
lence, and after bending and kissing
the royal hand, left the room. La
Sale at a signal from Colbert re-
mained. Louis buried himself in a
lengthy document. Colbert called 70
him his secretary. He was the Comte
de Miron. White with rage, the min
lister whispered or rather hissed into
his ear: Did you see that man who
just now left the cabinet?" The Comte
nodded. Kill me him within "a
hours!" The Comte glided out by an
other door.
Meanwhile Tonti waited for hts
friend in the Grand Sale. Not more
than 20 people remained, chiefly gath
cred about mademoiselle at the farther
end of the room. He Joined them, and
listened as mademOiselle related the
incident of Renee and the accident to
her chair. During the recital he
worked his way into a position near
her elbow. When she had finished he
asked in a low tone and with forced
Indifference, and who might the for
tunate cavalier be who came so hap
PLY to her aid?'
She did not speak his name" Then
in tones so low that only Tonti could
hear, she added with a spiteful CLEAN
in her eye, but she recognized him.
1t was the great explorer" then turned
her head away. Tonti was dazed.
There was only one great explorer, and
how she could have confounded him
self with La Sale he knew not.
Smarting with hurt pride and disap-
pointment, he looked across to the
other side of the group and saw the
lowering face and hate-filled eyes of
the Comte de Miron, and in that glance
he recognized his antagonist of the day
before.

thoughts We have need of strong
arms, clear heads, and loyal hearts in
our service. We think, on the whole,
Sieur de la Sale, that you can find a
fit lieutenant for your enterprise with
out taking from us our true and tried
officers"
La Sale was about to speak when
Tonti, advancing a step and with a
meaning glance at Colbert, thus ad-
dressed the king:
"He indeed, sire, speaks truly when
he says that there were other re-
wards given me which | forbore, not
forgot, to mention; rewards received
from the hands Of an ambitious and
unscrupulous minister rather than
those of a grateful and generous
king"
"How now, Sir Capitaine!p angrily
interrupted Louis I'VE like not to
hear such words concerning our chief
officer of state.
Pardon, sire" replied Tonti. Soft
words are not always true ones. The
rewards referred to | shall enumerate
in moment if you have the patience.
My father brought me here a child.
He found a great king reigning over
mighty kingdom with an empty
treasury. He devised a plan for the
filling of that treasury. You would
not permit him to carry it to conclu-
sion; you intrusted it to the unskilled,
ignorant hand of your minister; it
failed He studied the plan more care
fully and saw the merit of my fathers
minute advice, hitherto unheeded. He
tried again; he succeeded; and now
his successor sits here the second man
in France, while my father, to whom
all was due"
WAS amply rewarded" interposed
Louis, "and went back to Italy to live
in well-deseryed comfort his remain
ing days, dying in peace shortly after
his return"
NO" bitterly explained Tonti with
a menacing glance at Colbert. That
was probably what his lying tongue
told you. All! Sire, the life of loyal
soldier was ever mine. Through the
years of rough campaigning, through
siege and sortie, camp and fleet, per-
formed those deeds that you have
graciously enumerated, and returned
home to find the father who ought
to have been loaded down with hon
| ors awaiting the arrival OF his soldier
son fresh from hundred battles"
Tonti stopped an instant as though
to gain control of himself. The king
was listening earnestly. Colbert sat
with a disdainful smile upon his lips,
and a venomous look in his eyes.
TO find the father whose skill in
finance and gratitude to the monarch
that received him, an exile, had given
