What was in that basketY''
 Bread and butter-and sugar." he said honestly. He had heard some where that there are times when the truth Is good thing Anyhow, what use to say that he was merely anus. ing himself, when they had only to look out to see the kid eating his sup per just below the window?
 'Is that all?" asked the nurse searchingly.
 An orange" he admitted.
 The nurse turned to the doctor. "The Fruit and Flower Mission sent oranges to-day. It was probably his own"
 Who's waiting below there?" The doctors voice was even more savage than before. It was too dark to see his eyes.
 The kid-my brother"
 The doctor spoke word or two to the nurse, turned on his heel and went out. Willie Madden watched him shrinkingly. ..,. ..,.,
 "What'll he do to him?' he asked tremulously. "He ain't done nothin'. did the pinchin'." \. ..e. s%,
 The nurse was still severe. Wait and see," she said, holding tight to the boys shoulder. Its a serious thing to pass bread and butter-and sugar out of hospital window at night" ... ..-
 There was not sound in the ward except the heavy breathing of the

sleeping children. Once Sarah Ann Johnson moaned restlessly and Willie Madden started in terror, white and choking He thought it was the kid" crying, and his heart nearly stopped beating from fright and uncertainty. Then he steeled himself, and bracing his crutch against the bed he stood erect and said defiantly:
 Well, if it's a reform school they'll have to send the kid, for he aint got nobody to look out for him but me! Say, how would you feel to know that your kid was hungry when you was just stuffed with good things? You couldn't eat much yourself, could you? It 'ud kinda choke you, wouldn't it? We'll, that's the way feel every time I take a bite, for know the kid is half starved because I'm not there to look after him."
 The nurse moved little nearer to Willie Madden, but she remained si. lent. He almost hated her, she seemed so cold and hard and relent- less. He was glad that he wasn't her kid, and that the other kid wasn't hers. We'll, nothing mattered much now unless they would let him go with the kid.
 There was sound of steps out in the corridor. There was more than one person, and the boy braced himself again to meet the shock. Probably it was a policeman, maybe two of them, but where was the kid all this time?
 The room spun around for second, and Willie Madden was obliged to cling to the little white bed for SUD- port. He had never felt this way be- fore. Someway he had always been able to laugh at any situation, espe- cially if it only affected him, but this was different, for now the kid was in- volved, his little. kid who depended upon him for any emergency, and whom he had never failed.
 A few seconds later the doctor came in, pushing before him small. badly frightened boy, who displayed much resistance and who still held in his hand a piece of bread and butter. The doctor felt around in his coat pocket, and pulled out with difficulty a similar piece.
 Here" he said gravely, presenting it. You were leaving this behind"
 Willie Madden was puzzled. He slid from the nurses restraining hand and hobbled over to the disconsolate newcomer.
 Don't you be scared" he said im- pressively. You ain't done nothin'l"
 "The order book, please" said the doctor soberly. He wrote for a mo- ment, then passed it to the nurse, who read it aloud to the astonished boys.
 New patient. otherwise the Kid. Bath and bed, with liberal diet The Brothers Madden will go to the Fresh Air Home tomorrow"
 Willie Madden drew a breath of re. lief. then turned away. He tip-tapped over to the bed next his. where lay the boy who had helped to uudress him. and wakened him ruthlessly.
 Here" he said, you crawl into the bed over there next to Sarah Ann. This here beds for me little bro- ther."

WORK COMMENCED
ON UP-T0-DATE
BALL PARK

The work Of clearing the ground at
Valencia street, between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets. for the new base
ball park has commenced. and the
grounds will be ready for the opening
games of the season in March. A por-
tion Of the tract required for the park
is occupied by the Free Market and
some Of this must be removed.
The new grounds are favorably locat-
ed, as they can readily be reached from
all parts Of the city. In this respect
they are better than the old grounds
at Eighth and Harrison streets, as more
car lines are within easy reach. The
contractors have promised to have all
the required stands and bleachers ready
in ample time for the formal opening
of the grounds
The present intention of the man
agement is to open the grounds with a
series of games between the New York
Giants and the home team. If this
series be arranged, it will be held the
week before the formal opening of the
Pacific Coast League season, which is
set for late in March.

to fill at the head of the stud which
Macdonough has named in his honor.
Ormondale is the last of the OrmQn-
des. In the opinion of his owner he
was cut out for a distance performer.
Being a horse Of great avoirdupois. he
was let up with the moment his sus
picious leg came into evidence. Had
the trouble been regarded lightly 1t is
not improbable that the horse would
have speedily broken down. The long
rest which he has had is expected to
obviate the danger OF a breakdown and
Macdonough has strong hopes of win
ming one or two of the rich classics of
the Eastern turf during the fall of
1907. He is counting upon getting the
horse ready for start at the Saratoga
meeting and probably will point him
for the Annual Champion. Ormondale
has already shown sufficient speed to
entiue him to high consideration for
breeding purposes, but Macdonough is
ambitious to have the horse demon

he possesses as well, and with that end
in view may keep him in the East for
several seasons yet

COLLEGE EDITORIAL
ROASTS JORDAN

STANFORD NINERSITY, Jan. az
Todays issue Of the Sequoia. the col
lege literary monthly, has some caustic
things TO say about the Stanford
funk OUT system. On the grounds
that il is unjust, unnecessary and in
eXpedient" w. +. Heron, the new edi-
tor. attacks the system which aims TO
maintain a high scholarship standard
and to rid the university Of students
who viii not work.
The editorial was prompted by the
recent heavy fall Of the scholarship
AK. which deprived the university Of
many prominent students. Editor Her
ron explains that student activities
were sadly demoralized by the earth
quake and that many students neglect
ed their work to lend themselves 10 the
reorganization Of college affairs.

Loyalty to the support of their alma
mater in her hour Of dificulty with a
devotion unparalleled in the history Of
universities, says the editorial This
fact, we believe, should have been
taken into consideration and the num-

bic. That would have been a liberal
attitude and one worthy Of this great
university. Instead Of that attitude the
authorities have acted as il they re-
dents with disapprobation. The men
who labOred so well TO carry out the
interests OF Stanford were. TO use the

Continuing, the article attacks the
system on the ground Of inexpediency,
because the object for which il is OBJ

not by IL attained. Scholarship is the
result OF genuine love Of the subject
and that alone. 1t is not the result of
rigid adherence to mechanical require

DENoUNCEs GOVERNOR
Archbishop of jamaica Says Swetten-
ham is Dictatorial and ImperIOus

KINGSTON. Jamaica, Jan. 21.-The
publication to-day in the Daily Tele-
graph OF Governor Swettenham's letter
TO Rear Admiral Davis has greatly in
tensified the resentment OF the resi-
dents against the Governor for re-
buffing the tenders OF American assist
ance, and there is a movement on foot
here to demand his recall.
A meeting of the relief committee
was held here to-day on the call of the
Governor to discover the precise con-
ditions attending the difference between
the Governor and the Admiral At the
close Of this meeting. and after having
read Governor Swettenham's letter to
Rear Admiral Davis. Most Rev. DR..
Enos Nuttall. Archbishop Of Jamaica,
sought the Governor to talk the matter
over with him, saying that If he found
the conditions warranted, he would
send a personal explanatory telegram
to President Roosevelt. The Archbishop
was unable to see the Governor. owing
to the latter's absence at headquarters.
He will see him tomorrow.
Archbishop Nuttall told the Associ-
ated Press correspondent he greatly re-
gretted that any action had been taken
that might make the Jamaicans appear
uugrateful- for the generous tenders
of the United States. which as matter
Of fact they welcomed warmly.
He said he approved the Governors de-
sire TO endeavor TO inspire the ia
maicans with the sentiment of self
help. but that this was no excuse for
the rejection Of American aid.
There yet remains much to be done
to relieve the suffering of the people,
to provide shelter for them and to pre-
pare for the task of rebuilding the
city" the Archbishop continued, lin all
of which American aid would have
been of great assistance"
The Archbishop deprecated the idea
that Governor Swettenham's action
would result in national animosity.
1T was merely a result of the die
tatorial character of the Governor" he
said "His imperious manner, frequent
abuse Of subordinates and discourtesy
to citizens have earned him great un-
popularity. although otherwise he is
regarded as a comparatively conscien-
tious official"
There is much Indignation expressed
here at Governor Swettenham's action
in docking the pay of Government
clerks who absented themselves from
duty to nurse sick or dying relatives.
Last Saturday the Governor suspended
the free service of trains for the trans
portation OF refugees into the country
but at the urgent request Of Archbishop
NuttaIl, he consented TO continue this
free service for one week.
No sailors have been landed from the
British cruiser Indefatigable, which ar

The failure of William OBJ. Mac
donough to nominate Ormondale, win
ner of the Futurity of 1905, and the
fastest horse that the great Ormonde
sent to the races during his term of
service in the Macdonough stud at
MEMO Park for the big spring handi-
caps OF the New York tracks. has oc-
casioned considerable comment in the
East, according to metropolitan turf
writers, In view of the fact that the
horse was sent into temporary retire
ment after a few starts early last
season on account of suspicious leg
1t is learned, however. that the alb
sence of Ormondale from the big
spring fixtures possesses no such sig
nificance as has been attached to it
in some quarters. The horse is doing
very well and his owner, in deciding
not to start him in the early handi
caps this year. did so because he be-
lieved that the failure of the colt 10

races in which he was started last sea-

Howard informs this Government that
His Majesty's Government is causing
official inquiries to be made as to the
authenticity of the letter credited to
Governor Swettenham.
An interesting chapter was added to
the Kingston British-American un-
pleasantness today when it became
known that on January 20, after Ad-
miral Davis and his ships had sailed
from Kingston, Brigadier General
Wint. commanding the army of pacin-
cation in Cuba, on the request of the
acting British Minister at Havana,
transmitted through Governor Magoon,
ordered five hospital tents, twenty
eight wall tents and fifty-two conical
wall tents. all complete, sent to Kings
ton.
Secretary Taft was prompt to give
his approval on his arrival here yes
terday morning from South Carolina
and il is understood that the tents are
now on their way TO Kingston.
Vice Consul Orrett reported another
shock today. In response to specific
inquiries from the department he
cabled that Sperry. Bourke, Watson
and wife, Mrs. Case, Joseph and Mary

Taylor were all alive.
