s that he would leave the office for
: the purpose of resuming the active
& practice of law, there was much spec
I ulation as to who would be his; sue
sssSo;s. To the sMrpr of many peo-
pie John G.. Capers, of South Caroli-
ma, was named by the President to
hold the place temporarily until Mr..
Wight, the, real appointee, could SO
arrange his business Affairs that he
could come to Washington.
Mr.. Wight held several confer
g kences with the President about the
matter, and finally decided that he
! could not afford to sacrifice his busi-
mess interests by assuming the COM
missionership---at least not at that
time. Mr.. Capers then went In, SO
far as the public knew, to hold the
place only temporarily. There was a
. general feeling among the public,
however,, that this President. 1. knows
ing of Mr.. Capers' strong political
7 hold In South Carolina and elsewhere
In the South, had really intended for
him to be the permanent commits
sioner.
Another fact that leads to the be-
lief that this is the true state of the
case is that Mr.. Wight did not def
nitely and positiyely decline TO ae-i
9 cept the place until few days ago
after Mr.. Capers had been confirmed
by the Senate as commissioner.
There is apparently no reason why
Mr.. Capers should not hold tho place

tration of his office has been entirely
satisfactory, and he has mixed poli-
tics and business of his bureau to

Is Mr.. Wight's statement that he
would not accept the place and Mr..

HIS PRIZE

In one corner of the room, as far as
possible from the window, sat tall.
lank figure, his glowing pipe making
quite as much light as the small fire
that burned in an old stove at his side.
In his hand he held few sheets Of
closely-written copy which he was
reading slowly and carefully. smiling
quietly to himself as he read.
Dalton knew that the last chance of
long and bitter fight was before him.
He had tried time and again with un-
failing energy to succeed, but the re-
Bluffs and disappointments had piled
up as fast as had the rejected manu-
scripts on his table. With a college
education he had felt himself prepared
to buck the world in literary career,
but soon he found himself mistaken.
His works were models in execution,
but they failed from the fact that he
did not have anything that appealed
to the nature of the readers
With one last effort he had written
the story of his ups and downs, and he
incidentally wove into it the story Of
his love affairs-college dreams they
seemed to him.
''This story must co." he muttered,
ITS got to- With a sigh he laid
down the papers. There was a sound
of hurried footsteps in the hall, and
the door burst open, admitting
ruddy-faced young man in a summer
suit and with no overcoat.
Hello, Dalton" he cried Whats
doing today"
"Oh, nothing much" answered Dal-
ton
What's this?" asked Joe Lamier,
picking up the story from Dalton's
lap.
That" said he, 'is my last chance"
Tell you what you do let me put 1t
in that prize story contest the Daily
is having. It's $500 for you if
it wins" was the friendly suggestion
Sisters got one here that I'm going
to take over" And he drew some pa
pers from his pocket
carefully, then handed it back, ex
claiming:
That's got mine beat Is there a
second prize?'
"Sure-good chance to land that
There's 5000 in it,"
Well take it along then, and tell
your sister she's-well, tell her she's
a dandy at the business. Will you,
Lamier?"
Two weeks later, after a good, big,
square, filling meal at the Salvation
Army house, Dalton sat in his little
room and read the list of prize win
ners. His name was missing from the
solid list that his eye fell upon, but
as he glanced at the head of the col
umn he could hear his own heart beat
There, in large black type, were the
words: "Mr. Luke Dalton, First
Prize"
He swallowed hard as the realiza-
ton came to him. but by some strange
trick of his mind his next thought was
for the sister of his friend-Grace
Lamier
He was fairly good, impartial
judge of stories, and he knew, as we'll
as he knew his own name, that her
story was better than his why
wasn't it on the list?" he asked him
self again and again. There must be
some mistake. Hastily grabbing his
hat and turning up the frayed collar
of his coat he left the room.
A letter addressed to him was in
