many engagements with profit both to the manage
ment and myself.
On Easter Monday, April 6, 1885, married
Trinity, Madison-ave. and AMIDST, New York by
the Rev. Mr.. Watkins. AS l had issued invitations
only personal friends, the large church well
filled but with no disagreeable crowdng. The
Counts brother Baron Magr acted as grooms-
man. and Miss Sarah Adams as bridesmaid.

In short his routine mapped out and thoroughly
explained
1t was murky, cloudy night when the watch
man went on duty at the mills, which were situated
in a lonely quarter of the town There was definite
and professional air about the little as he
fully patroled his beat.
Ali went well until about ten o'clock when he
noticed a skuking the opposite side of the
street. McGrath observed him quietly, but went
steadily in his monotonous routine, looking for
ward nevertheless, to the morning hour when he
could again be with his sick wife and his baby.
A sharp ring came the telephone in the little
room in the mill. McGrath unlocked the door, en-
tered, and took down the receiver.
rs this you, McGrath? This is Father Kelly
calling you up. | am here; also the doctor. The
wife is sinking. 1t came on suddenly, John. Don't
worry, my. poor man; but try to get here at once.
superintendent the phone; and get them to send
some to the mill in your place. There'n be
time. Now mind, bear up, my boy, bear up and
be the same man I've always known you to be-.
McGrath hung up the receiver. Something over
whelming whispered to him, CO. go! This is para
mount. Co. go, now! This outneasures all else"
He shook himself would shake off OPP
pressive dream, and strobe up to the telephone.
Give "a Gray" said he. II want Mr. Nor
ton. Gone out, you say? You don't know where;
and you don't know when he'll be back? For
Tell him McGrath's wife is dying, and that he
wants to be relieved at once
McGrath then tried to find the superintendent of
the mills the telephone; but he had gone out of
town for the night.
Turning out the electric lights, and locking the
door, McGrath went on his beat again.
Once more that tempting whisper came to him.

When visiting some friends in Bridgeport three
months subsequent to the Generals DEATH Mr.. Bar

upon the subject, his reply was that belonged to

Oh here's the poor fellow" he added as they found
the Waterman on the floor of the little :oo:ri.
The mill owner the sergeant, also the oIctor and
Father Kelly gathered around McGrath.
The doctor hastily gave such relief possible
then Father Kelly" he whispered with
Just professional touch, it is your case
and administered to him the last rites of his church.
McGrath was perfectly conscious. The physicians
work restored him for time, and the church offices
buoyed him up for final effort.
Tell me- he asked fateringly, Father, how is
Delia?"
1T is we'll with Della me son.
at is we'll Oh, Father. l know what ye name,
sure. Twill be well with me?"
YES my SON."
'Mr. Morton!" gasped McGrath.
Morton drew nearer, and knelt beside him.
Il want We to be--to-be-a Waterman"
"Me a watchman?" replied Norton much puz-
zled. How, McGrath?"
Il want we to be Waterman over me little baby
Mike"
Indeed will will be Waterman him

Eye reminder sir, his-this-morning whn We
TUX me, we asked what guaranty I'd give that I'd
be good Waterman, and said me wurrd was all
could give" There was just suspicion of humor-
twinkle in the dying eyes. What guaranty
do you give me?"
Morton took the white and helpless hands, which
had begun to pick at the blood stained shirt n both
of his, and said, Il give you my word"
Then were quits" whispered McGrath.
A moment later the doctor gave them all COM
prehensve look.
"Oh Heaven" sobbed the owner of Morton's Mills,
he from where he knelt, grant that may
keep my word with him, as he kept his with mel"

between clenched teeth.

but McGrath, with the energy Of tiger
threw him off, and dealt him fearful
blow with his night stick. The man
staggered back into the darkness.

and fired pointblank at him; but, as he
swayed before falling, McGrath fired
through his overcoat pocket the shot
that stretched the ruffian dead in his
tracks. The third man fled.
By supreme effort McGrath dragged
himself to the door of the little Office
How he ever managed to unlock the
door is something almost unaccountable.
How he hung on so long to the tele-
phone shelf would be too painful to relate.
He rang up police headquarters.

THE MOROCCAN CONFERENCE.
Interest Of This Country in the Com
ing Discussion

AS to the part the United States Is TO
play In the approaching Moroccan confer
ence, 1t may be stated on the best Of au-
thority that Messrs. White and Gummere,
the American delegates, will go into the
conference absolutely uncommitted 20
either the French or the German cCEten-
lions. The governments view is that the
United States government has by virtue of
her ancient interest in Morocco rights even
superior to those of any European state in
deciding the critical questions which will
come before the conference. The basis OF
this statement is that the United states,
single handed, made war upon the Barbary
states, wiped out piracy in the Mediterra-
mean waters, and concluded the first treaty
OF any civilized nation with those states,
treaty which has formed the basis of the
demand Of every other nation for favored
nation treatment at the hands of Morocco.
SO, from considerations such the per-
petuation of the open door and fair trade
for all in Morocco the United States gov
eminent feels that 1t has right and duty
to participate in this important conference.
As to the question of policing the Moroccan
frontier the United States stands uncom-
mitted, either to the German proposition,
which favors the creation of cn interna-
tional police force, or the French plan OF
employing Algerian police for that purpose.
