Washington, Jan. l5.--At the ses-
sion of the foreign commerce conven-
ton today Elihu Root, secretary of
state, who was the principal speaker,
was accorded an ovation, his remarks
frequently being interrupted by pro-
longed applause aud cheers. He gave
a resume of the trade relations of the
United States practically with the en-
tire world and outlined what was
needed to secure greater commercial
advantages for this country. Incident
ally he touched upon the tariff and
said, speaking for himself alone. that
he favored the policy of maximum
and minimum rates. He said our re-
lations continually grow more reason
able, more sensible and kindly with
Europe, with our vigorous and grow
ing neighbor to the north; with our
rapidly advancing and developing
neighbors to the south. and with the
nations that face us upon the other
side of the Pacific"
Secretary Root entered into an ex-
haustive discussion of the resources of
F.! the Latin-American republics and
made a plea for closer trade relations
with them.
| He severely criticised the steamship
service between this country and the
South American ports and declared
| that subsidies alone designed to meet
the cheaper wages and living expenses
on foreign steamship lines, could bring
about an adequate American merchant
marine,
/ AS to the smaller countries about
the Caribbean and particularly the
| West Indian countries, Secretary Root
said they had had a hard time. cursed
as they were by frequent revolutions.
/ The attitude Of the United States to-
ward these countries could be put in
three sentences: First--We don't
want to take them ourselves: second,
we don't want any foreign nation to
take them themselves; and third, we
want to help them, and we will"
There was. he said, much talk about
anneXing Cuba, but. said he. never,
so long as the people Of Cuba do not
| themselves given up the effort to gov
ern themselves, win annexation be
forced on them"
He declared amid loud applause that
/ the treatment of San Domingo, like
the treatment of Cuba. was but "a part
of great policy which shall I'm the
years to come determine the relations
of this vast country with its life and
enterprise and also of a great policy
of peace and righteousness.
on the subject Of reciprocity trea-
ties, Secretary Root said there were
some countries with which he would
like to negotiate such treaties.

return, to visit with Katie, child of her own
age.
Katie was not at home when the Belknaps
reached the Gilmore place, she having been
taken over to visit the little Rossiter girl ten
miles away, upon the previous day, but was
expected at any moment, as the Rossitcrs were
to bring her home that morning. And so Skip
remained to await her return.
Noon came, but no Katie. One hour-two-
passed, and still she did not return, and little
Skip was very much in the dumps.
1t was afterwards learned that Katie had
not felt very well, and not supposing that
there was any particular need of returning,
had put it off till the following day.
The Gilmores amused Skip as well as they
were able but they were busy and could not
pay her the attention they might have wished,
and finally they left her alone in the shade
of mulberry tree and soon forgot all about
her. When they thought of her again she had
disappeared.
Growing lonesome and tired of waiting, she
had slipped through the fence and trudged
homeward. If she had realized beforehand the
discomforts of the journey she would not have
attempted it, but she was triie spoiled and
rarely counted the cost In advance.
The day was warm. A drouth had been in
session for the past three weeks, following a
month of scanty rainfall, and the prairie of
midsummer was fast browning, as if it had
been autumn. The breeze that blew. across
it from the south was hot and unrefreshine
Skip might have turned back; but, once
started, she kept on in, her self.wiIled way,
rise, across the slight plateau and down the
now barren slope into the valley.
The sultry air seemed to grow hotter. and
poor little Skip felt as if ready to melt. The
sky to the south was hazy, and presently
there rolled up over the rise, to the south Of
the valley, a smudgy CLOUD that seemed very
prairie % grass-fell here and there; but, trudg-
ing YEARLY onward. little Skip did not notice
either.
The smudgy cloud rolled up thicker and the
breeze felt hotter. To the left of the road
was a little mound covered with sumaes that
promised grateful shade to the exhausted and
sweltering child, and she made her way to it
and threw herself down beneath the bushes.
Then, presently, worn out with her tramp,
thicker and faster, and the ahreds Of burned
grass fell all about the sfumberer.
When the Belknaps, returning, reached the
Gilmore place, they were much concerned
about Skip, and search for her was in
stituted.
The hired man reported that he had seen
her trudging westward, and 'reckoned". that
was creeping northward very rapidly. The

mounted him at the risk of life and limb.
But, whatever might have been the faults
and failings of the tall, yellow horse, he was
to the colonel as the apple of his eye, and, in
his opinion, too valuable to be manned or
killed by reckless ragamuffin who had no
fear for his own bones.
Then, too, the ranchman did not like the
thought that the animal might be the death
of the boy; and so the edict went forth that
Buckskin must not be tampered with

And the worst of it was. he did not seem
the least abashed when his sin found him

coolly as if it had been compliment, and
repeat the offense at the first opportunity,
looking all the time like one of those solemn
monkeys that one sees In the circus, who
commit the most fragrant rascalities while look
ing like SO many guileless patriarchs.
More than once, in his anger, Colonel Bel
knap had forbidden him to step foot on the
ranch, but he would turn up the next day and
be SO dutiful for a little time that nothing
more came of it.
And SO it came to pass that but for Buck

very appropriate to her volatile, harum-scarum
nature.
He got along famously with the horse and
as famously with the. little girl. She thought
his monkey-shines wonderfully amusing and
admired his daring.
1t was he who killed a great snake with
dangerously short stick when it frightened
her, and it was he who climbed recklessly
down the windlass rope into the depths Of
the well to rescue her rag doll, which no one
else thought worth saving.
And it was little Sldp's friendship and in
