Washington Regrets Departure Of Pop

Of friendship between the, fiery little
republics of Central America and the
insuring of peace there, there is no
reason, save sentimental one, for his

astute statesmen for their conduct.
1t is pleasant to think that Mr..
Creel's success in life-for he is a
self-made man, the architect of his
own fortune-is due in part at least,
to the fact that he is of American
parentage, his father, who bore the
good old name of Reuben, having
been native Of Kentucky, but the
son was born in Mexico, and has
made his career there. Beginning at
the very bottom of the ladder as
small merchant, he has been school

that's what cali it," Martha said.
There was a double knock on the
6oor, and a handful of letters came
tumElins through the slit into the hall
before Iilda had succeeded in disen-
tangling the exact relevancy of the
last remark. Her face lit up with a
little CLEAN Of excitement; she ran
quickly down the last fight of stairs.
1t was lying there OH the top of the
scattered heap Of correspondence, as
though conscious of it's own impor-
tance-the only letter that had any
interest for Hilda that morning, the
thought of which had kept her listen
ing for the postman since Z o'clock;
her eyes had caught sight of the hand
writing on the envelope almost before
she reached the bottom step. Hilda
scarcely troubled to glance at the in
scriptions on the other letters; she
dropped them in an unceremonlous
heap on the hall table as she went in
to the breakfast room with her prize.
Stephen had not come down to
breakfast yet. Hilda crossed over to
the window and stood looking out IN.
to the white garden, lingering the let
ter for a moment or two in charac-
teristically feminine fashion without
opening it, as though she found
pleasure in tantalizing her own impa-
tient eagerness. There was smile
about the tender, winsome mouth, and
a light danced in the gray eyes that
two nights ago Jack Lathom had
looked into and thought the most beau.
tiful eyes in the world.
Martha came bustling into the room,
bringing a tray of breakfast things, as
we'll as the letters from the hall.
"Why, there's another letter here
for YOU, MISS" Martha said, as she
was placing the little pile by the rec
tors plate.
And she looked up rather surprised
that Miss Ruthen, who had been so
eager for the postman to come. should
have overlooked it; she was rather
surprised, too at the Indifferent tone
af the girls response-but then Mar
tina was not in Hilda's secret, or she
might have wondered less. When
one is in love and has just received
ones first love letter, any other let
tiers have way of seeming very I'M
important for the time being.
