WATSON MAY co
INTO CABINET
He Stands High With Taft and
May Get a Good Po-
Sition.
HITCHCOCK is MENTIONED.
LATEST CABINET GOSSIP GIVES
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN THE JOE
OF POSTMASTER GENERAL sUc-
cEEDlNG MEYER.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Leading repub-
licans were predicting today that
James z. Watson would be invited to
seat in President Taft's cabinet. He
was mentioned for the head either OF
the navy department or of the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
Mr. Taft has high opinion of Mr..
Watson's integrity and ability. His
name was under consideration for sec
rotary of the navy under President
Roosevelt's administration at the time
Mr.. Watson was serving as member OF
the house committee on naval affairs.
Throughout the campaign the repub-
lican nominee has shown the keenest
interest IN Mr.. Watson's race and fire.
quently has expressed his profound
concern over the local conditions which
were combining to pull him down. Mr..
Taft's friends here say he realizes he
would not have secured the electoral
vote of Indiana but for the magnificent
fight made by the state organization,
1t is quite generally accepted in the
current speculation that Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the republican
national committee, will be included in
the cabinet, probably as postmaster
general, post for which he would
have practical qualifications owing to
his service until a few months ago as
first assistant postmaster general in
the present administration, a position
he voluntarily relinquished to take
personal charge of Mr.. Taft's interests.
The defeat of Congressman Hepburn
of Iowa, long chairman of the commit
tee of the house of representatives, has
aroused some comment as to his avail
ability as secretary of commerce and
labor. The commerce committee of
which Mr.. Hepburn is the head had
much to do in creating the department
of commerce, and his name has been
identified with most Of the measures
of commerce enacted into law within
recent years. The mention of his name
is purely inferential, however, from
the fact that his defeat for congress
removes him on March 4. next, the
date Mr.. Taft will be inaugurated
1t is assumed pretty generally that
Mr.. Taft will look to his own state
for some of his cabinet material, and
this leads to conjecture concerning ex-
Governor Herrick of Ohio, whose name
has been suggested in connection with
the secretaryship of the treasury. Elk
Governor Herrick has long been identi-
fed with financial affairs, has taken
an active interest in measures of gov
ernmental finance and has been vice
president of the American Bankers

the conversation whatsoever. remained
in the background. shifting uneasily
from one foot 10 the other.
Permit" said Mr. Jones, icily. ''to
point you out the way"
He walked few yards down the
path, and then stood aside for Strong
and Langley to pass. AT this juncture
Strong turned and looked at Mr.
Jones with glittering eyes.
Mr.. Jones sucked in his breath; then
he said, In tones which We're low and
very quiet and fierce, The next time

Strong and Langley spent the after

points, but Strong was gay and vol

One thing appeared TO prey on

The shadows OF evening had stolen

which will be noted down at Scotland

So they put of and anchored mid
way between bank and bank and
what with smoke and talk and desul-
tory reading they spent a lazy but
contented morning.
| About O'Clock Strong nudged
Langley, who turned and saw two men
surveying them grayely from the bank.
One was Jones, and the other was an
| inspector OF police, whose name Is
lrevered IL not beloved by criminals
all over the world.
Mr.. Jones and the detective appear
ed in earnest conversation. The de-
tective. as far as they could Judge by
gestures, inquired OF Mr.. Jones con-
corning the occupants OF the lazy
looking launch.
But Mr.. Jones only shook his head.
made little shrug OF bis shoulders,
and turned away.
By-and-by three other men came
strolling along the river-bank. They
turned after the chief inspector and
Mr. Jones and passed among the
bushes.
A few moments later Strong put
his fingers 10 his lips and leant over
the side OF the launch, listening.
Langley. too, hung over the launch
and listened with his stupendous ears.
In the distance they could hear the
sharp click, click OF spade biting crisp
earth.
Now" said Strong. "for fun. II you

ing. you have even TO forget what
told YOU Yesterday about the shooting
and the dead man and the Cupid.
Strong led the way up the pain
through the rhododendrons. turned on
to the left, and then came suddenly
into the clearing.
The grave which Strong had helped
TO dig and to fill in again on the oay
before was now open once again.

face. The inspector OF police was
pretending also to look into It's depths,

OF the corners OF his eyes.
The other three men were upon
their knees, busy with something In
the grave.
