Worse still were those stretches or
road which had been cOrduroyed with
logs, for there some of the logs were
floating out of place and some were
piled on top of those that were still
held fast in the mud.
In dragging the wagons through the
mud reaches il was necessary TO stop
every few minutes 10 give the horses
breathing spell. On the corduroy
stretches il was often necessary TO
stop for half an hour or more at time.
Thus the caravan moved slowly on
ward, with many haltings and much of
WEAKNESS.
1t was midnight when at last the
fare of the torches told Barbara that
the journey was done. Not knowing
whittier the wagons should be taken,
Barbara babe Bob find Duncan.
When the young man heard of Bar
baras arrival he and Dick Temple
hurried to her, full of apprehension
lest the journey and the exposure
should have made her i'll, and fuller
still of fear that the conditions of life
in the camp might prove to involve
more of hardship than she could bear.
For the first time in his life Guilford
Duncan felt like scolding
What Oh earth are you doing here,
Barbara he asked, and before he
could add anything TO the question she
playfully answered:
Just now I'm waiting for you to tell
the teamsters where 10 drive the wag-
ons'
But, Barbara
Never mind the rest Of your scold-
ing. I've already rehearsed ii in my
imagination till know it all by heart
forward and backward. Tell the men
where the cooking place is
But what are we TO do with you In
all this flood and mud and in the inces-
SAINT rainT'
Just let me alone while ! help In
earnest as you said in your dispatch
that you wanted me to do. You tele-
graphed me that you wanted two good
cooks, so here we are, Bob and |, for
really Bob has learned to cook as well
send for us sooner"
A little while later Bob and the two
negro women who had hitherto done
the cooking went out among the men
at work, bearing great kettles of
steaming coffee for the refreshment of
the well nigh exhausted toilers. Bob
accompanied his share of the coffee dis
tribution by little speech:
Oar now. OATS coffee as is, an It's
hot an strong too. Little Missile done
mex II wifi her own hans, and she's de
lady wot sens ii to you. She's done
come out inter de wilderness jes TO
cook victuals fer you men, and you jes'
bet yer bottom dollar you'll git a
breakfas' in the mawnin'."
Realizing the situation and stimulat-
ed by their deep drafts of coffee, the
men set up cheer for Little Missile"

GOSSIP FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL,
Greatest Criticism Of President Is
Heard in Washington-City Full
Of GrunnbIerS.

WASHINGTON.-The good old Biblical say
ing that "a prophet is not without honor save in
his own country might be paraphrased into "a
president is not unpopular, save in Washington
1t is the fate of every chief executive to be crit
icised and to become unpopular in the capital
city. None in recent years has escaped this fate
Even the santed Mckinley had his critics here
at the seat of the government, and his popularity
District of Columbia than within them. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is simply on the same plane with
his predecessors, and there few places in the
country where less enthusiasm is shown over
him than right here among the people who see
him and know of him every day.
It is perfectly natural that the greatest crit
icism of president should be in Washington.
AS chief executive he has to act for the whole

Few people know the responsibilities of
secretary of the president The public has no
idea of the diplomacy that he has to practice
to keep dangerous and undesirable people away
from the chief executive. In this feature of his
work the secretary is assisted by the uniformed
police and the plain clothes secret service men
who are to be found in the te-chamber at the
White House offices. 1t is very that any
scenes are enacted but once in awhile people
denied admission to the president are inclined to
make fuss. Where one of these cases is noted
in the public press there are so that never get
publicity.

has been disposed in times past to criticise the

White House sent a woman there with a letter

One of the most trying positions in the gov
eminent is that of secretary to the president.
If the chief executive happens to incur the crit
icism of underlings or Of congressman, his Sec
rotary has to bear the brunt of this unpopularity.
He is the buffer between the president and the
outside world. 1t requires infinite tact for a
man in this position to deal with the hundreds
of visitors that desire to the president every
day and sift the worthy from the unworthy, the
good from the bad, protect the president from
nuisances and bores and at the same time keep
the people good natured. 1t is simply impossible
to prevent some friction, but the loyal secretary
to the president must encounter the heaviest Of
burdens and carry them with a smile.

tary to the president Mr.. William Loeb, who
