there were pieces Of apple and lettuce

viously.
"Most; but some of ems more shy.

"That was a long, long time ago,
joe" was all Tom said But it was
very wistfully.
Two hours later. the old man rose
from the log upon which they had been
sitting Tears were in the eyes Of
both
II am sorry, Joe," Tom said, as he
held his brothers hand II had hoped
to take you back with me. I have big
house, with servants and carriages, and
was looking forward to you and I
spending the rest of our lives together.
But we must see each other often
Eyes, often" agreed Joe, with voice
trembling. "Ye must come down. An
for all we've said, this still seems to me
this is the best place for We to live.
Money-gettin' has made We old and
worn out. I've LACED most O my life,

And so they parted, each to remain
in the path which his life had made.

before he ran off, Maybe 'twould a

The hut was easily found, besides the
seven or eight houses left standing in
the village, it was the only building the
stranger saw And the carryall-owner
had been right about it standing in the
woods, for there had been no attempt
at clearing or cultivation The trees
and bushes grew close up to the hut
on all sides, and tangle Of wild vines
had taken possession of tWo-thirds Of
the log step AS the stranger saw it
and his eyes took in the SURF oundings
he paused with strong emotion.
Poor Joe! Poor Joel" he said com
passionately ''Why didn't he let me
know? I never dreamed of this, or o.
the village being in such ruins. 1t was
fairly prosperous when I went away
And Joe always wrote such bright
cheerful letters, telling how happy he
was with his animals. I thought he hat
a nice, big farm that was we'll stocked
He would never let me help him; he
had everything he needed, he wrote
and more. And now this! Poor Joe
Poor Joe! I have been to blame, for
ought to have come down and seen how
things were going. I have been toe
busy accommodating money. And it was
Joey who let me have all his little
hoard when | went away How people
forget! But he shall never want any
thing more I will take him back tc
the. city with me and let him have al
the things that money can give"

Force hight be lacking in his face;

and dreamer, of a philosopher. The
stranger gazed at him with wondering
recognition, then opened his arms.
'Joey! Joey!"@ his voice choked
'You look just the same as when I left
only larger"
At the familiar name, Joe Alibone
started, his face kindling. He had no
recognized the white-haired, care-worr
figure before. But first he carefully

might be boy who needed petting and
comforting after some youthful trial or
an unusually hard days work.
Suddenly there was low whir Of
wings, and a bluejay dropped lightly
upon Joes shoulder and from there
dropped to the crook of his elbow and
thrust an inquiring bill into his blouse
pocket. Then a movement on the
strangers part caused the bill to with
draw quickly and the wings to hall
rise. But the tips Of Joe's fingers
touched the wings caressingly, reas-
suringly.
There, there, Jaybird," he said
soothingly; cts all right That's my
brother Tom, who's comm home to
stay with us You mustn't mind him
Now go little DEEPER" opening his
| blouse-pocket with one Of his fingers;
you'll find the seeds there all right
The bluejay had cooked his head on
one side in an attitude of listening.
Now, as though understanding or
recognizing the opening behind the
finger as significant, he suddenly thrust
his head into the blouse-pocket, draw
ing it out moment later with the bill
full of seeds. With these he flew to a
| nearby limb. Joe chuckled
"Jaybird'll be back again in a few

stopped beside a tiny, thread-like path,
which none but practiced eyes would

reputable in it's neglect. AS the stran-
ger stepped from the ancient carryall
which he had hailed and hired from the
station platform seven miles away he
felt the utter incongruity Of it all Only
nine hours from Wall street, and it
might be on the opposite side of the
world He looked about with an air Of
questioning "reminiscences, as though
wondering if he could have been fam
liar with any of this in "a less critical
period of his life.
But the history of it was an open
page. The young blood and thew had
gone in search Of the car Of progress,
and many of the older people had fol-
lowed to help or lean on them. The
few left were those who had neither
outside interest or inside ambition. He
turned to the owner Of the carryall,
who was still regarding the dollar given
him with pleased interest.
''Can you tell me where Joseph Ali
bone llves?' he inquired
"N-no; not around here. An still
the mans face wrinklng into intense
thought, 'the name does sound nat
raj"
He used to live in that little house
across the street." the stranger said,
pointing with his cane; ''the one where
the roof has fallen in
"Oh, them Alibones,' with an air of
relief. Il thought the name had some
thing in it. But we amt spoke two
names round here since I don't know
when. It's old Joe, an fat Tom an
little an big John-that away. Before
the doctor and preacher died we did
call out their whole names, Jest to be
stuck TIP, but it's too much work right

animated, that house has big hist'ry.
One O the boys went off an got him
self scand'lors rich, SO he could buy
railroads an palaces, an'-an' ships on
the ocean. When we heerd we looked
for him to send wagonful of gold
down to his brother Joe, but he never
did,
Where does Joe-Joseph 1ive?" the
stranger asked eagerly.
Something in the voice made the
carryall-oWner look at him wondering

ping his fingers from time to time and
studying the tailor-made clothes and

impatiently.

the east notice Of the question. Then,
''But Of course We be. The clothes
show it" He puckered his face con-
ci1iatingly and thrust it into within
three inches of the strangers, whisper

The Onniscient Shaw

Secretary Shaw's conception of what
the powers Of the Secretary of the
Treasury should be, is akin to the
Kaiser's opinion Of his exalted omni-
science of .'me and Cod He told the
Kentucky bankers convention that sit
the Secretary of the Treasury with au-
thority to require banks to increase
their reserves al certain times, when
money is redundant, and to expressly
permit the maintenance of a somewhat
lower reserve at other timesn Ofcoursc
Shaw never knows when, sit would be
wise and safe 10 initiate the currency
and to contract il, and under the dicta-
ton of the Rockefeller bank. which no
Republican Secretary of Treasury
seems able TO evade, would never think
of using this extraordinary power in
the interest Of the Wall Street gamb-
rs. Still there might come a time, if
ongress was foolish enough to ex I
pand instead of diminish tho powers
the Secretary of the Treasury, when
that official might be tempted by
those frenzied financiers, by promises
of pelf or power, to do just what the
people. pay the taxes, did not want
to be done or,at all events, what would
prove to be against their interest and
TO the great advantage of the bankers
What is needed is the Democratic
plan, of divorcing the United States
Treasury from Wall Street and matte n
Observation-Disclosures and thus take away
the temptation of using the money of
the people for improper and partisan
purposes.

Value of warships That VIII Float on

Norfolk, Vain size, in cost and in
grandeur the navol review which will
be on constant view at the jamestown
Ter-Centennial Exposition to be held
at Hampton Roads near Norfolk, Va,
will surpass anything of the XII nd ever
held. A high official of the Navy De-
partment has estimated that at no time
will there be less than five hundred
million dollars worth of naval ships
floating on the waters OF Hampton
Hoads. This may seem to the lay read
er stupendous value to put on just
one feature of the great CELEBRATION b but
when it is remembered that nearly all
warships above and including the
third rate, cost million. apiece and
including the third rate, cost million
apiece and even destroyers cost three
quarters of million with battleships
and armored cruisers costing from
three to ten millions it will be seen at
a glance that the estimate is not too
high.
About twenty-five Of the greatest ma
tiens on earth, inducing all the great
maritime powers have promised to
send to the Jamestown Exposition
contingents of their naval strength.
This insures the coming of the greatest
naval fleet ever brought together. I'm
gland will of course send mighty
fleet alone and the other powers not to
beot greatly outdone by the greatest
naval power will also make grea
showing. Submarine boats will be
present in great numbers and all the
latest engines OF naval destruction.
Aside from the purely naval features
of the Exposition there will be series
of great yacht races in which every
style and size of sailing craft will con-
test. Cups have been offered as prizes
from the King of England, the EN-.
peror of Germany, Sir Thomas Upton
and President Roosevelt, all we'll
known yachting enthusiasts.
King Edwards cup will go to the
winner of major events Of the long &C.
ries of regattas which will last over
| period of nearly two months. Several
weeks will also be taken up by the mo-
tor boat carnival which will he held OIL
the piers Of the exposition.
Besides these events there will be
great rowing contests held under the
auspices Of the National Association
| of Amateur Oarsmen and the Exposl'
ton. There will be canoe races and
freak races, class designed especial
| Iy for the benefit of the builders OF
| freak racing craft.
Lovers of the water will find enough
to keep them busy during the entire
| lie of the Exposition.
