above the edge of his desk across which they

He was beginning vaguely. like one cropping in
semidarkness to comprehend the motives that
had sent this grim jawed veteran out an
absurd cruise through abandoned canals.
Unseen by either of them, another had in
~ terpreted the cause. Attracted by the in
tangible magnetism OF presence, they turned
together toward an open doorway leading into
another office On its threshold stood quiet.
well poised man with grave eyes of understand
ing.-eyes that seemed of profound depth and
accustomed to looking on men and affairs from
a splendid judicial isolation Quite abruptly
the Rear Admirars heels clicked together and
his hand came to the salute. The tense form of
the Secretary of the Navy relaxed suddenly and
bent over in deferental bow.
Mr. President" the sailor almost SIAM
mered "I-I-"
The President. with calm, restraining
gesture of his appraised hand, claimed the privi-
lege of speech and took step or two into the
room. ''Stone," he said very quietly and very
kindly. 81 understand | see it all now. We
have been annoyed like little children whose
rules of play have been broken. You wanted
to see your flag blowing out beside the one
which you have followed through thick and
thin, through good times and hard times. be-
fore you were retired.
The Rear Admiral nodded. and looked down
at the desk, at which the CABINET ofncer was
also staring but with softer light in his ewes.
"You wanted to see it ahoat" the President
continued; wanted to see it above some craft
where the wind could unfurl it and tell you. as
l now tell you. that you had done WE'LL that
the service hadn't been without reward; and
that the flag was worth fighting for.-worth
dying for if need be. Wasn't that it," he con-
cluded in tone that had dropped almost to
whisper, as if the great and vital theme of
patriotism was too sacred to be spoken of
without reverential softness.
The Rear Admiral ceased studying the desk.
Il did sir" he said with a note of infinite
pathos in his voice which he vainly tried to
control. Il did, sir. Why. I've fought for the
other. and for it because it seemed a part of the
other. and-and something to love when all
else was gone: something to show that the
game had been worth while and that my eoun-
try knew it and appreciated that I'd done my
best-my very best"
He paused for what seemed a long time.

The Power of Song


IN one occasion this instinct of the negro to
keep time to music served the writer a
good turn. A quantity of chemical salts that
had become damaged required to be broken
up into a granulated condition and remixed
with fresh salts in order to be marketable.
The scene was large warehouse, and the i'm
plements were shovels and screens. About
twenty darkies were set to work, some pound
ing up the damaged goods Others mixing the
old and the new. while still others were shovel
ing the mixture through the screens. The
weather was very warm. the chemicals were
refractory, and the darkies soldiered along
with their work, pounding and mixing and
shoveling away to eXasperatingly slow music
Even the bonus of a wagonload of luscious
waternelons failed to arouse more than mo-
mentary enthusiasm.
Among the workmen there happened to be a
tall, straight. magnificently developed young
fellow. Brock by name. as strong and tough as
a hickory sapling. After l,ng days work
this ebony Hercules was as fresh and spry as a
young colt. | noticed that Brock swung his
shovel in long. graceful sweeps in perfect time

MOTHER RAGS HER
SCREAMING CHILD
THROUGH STREETS
Mrs. Mary Wood Seizes Daugh-
ter Near SchoolhOuse and
Carries Her Away.

A commotion was caused at the
Lafayette Street School during the noon
recess yesterday when Mrs. Mary
Wood, of Summit, appeared and for
chilly took away her 1~2-year-old daugh-
ter, Loretta, who has been living with
her maiden aunt in this city for years.
Mrs. Wood was accompanied by an
the child and when the little one re-
fused to go with her the mother and
the woman with her grabbed her, and
despite her screams and those of her
little classmates, hurried her out to the
street.
At the home of the Misses Jessie and
Emma Wood at 271 Walnut street,
where the little girl has lived for seven
years, both women were in tears and
declared that they would do anything
to get the little one back.
ooh, I think it is cruel of her mother
to do such a thing" sobbed Miss Jessie
Loretta has been with us for more
than seven years and we have Lucy, {
younger child of my dead brother will
us now. The mother Is not able t.
keep the little n and has taken he
away just for spite. We have beer
working SO hard to educate Loretta t.
become a teacher, and have given he
everything we had.
my sister n / moved here sever
years ago" continued Miss Wood, "ant
we took Loretta with us, as she hat
been with us practically all the time il
Summit. She called on us last Jun,
and declared hat while she did no
know how she was going to keep he
she would take Loretta away becaus
she was being treated better than he
sister. We received a letter from ne
today in which she says she will stca
Lucy next"
The two aunts had planned to get
piano for Loretta this year and ar
particularly worried because they de
clare that she is a sensitive, nervou
child thai has never been In robus

The sisters will consult a lawyer il
regard to the matter, as they claim thu
