unable to land the fish. they had
fastened the line to the stern of the

their might, each one at an oar, they
rallied each other for not exerting
more strength and shouted loudly for
help. Finally an Indian put out in a

Judge Daniel T. Wright of the supreme

who recently sentenced Messrs. Gompers Nor

important figures in the union labor world to-
day to Jail for contempt of court.
Judge Wright came to his present position
in 1903 from the common pleas bench of Hamil-
ton county, o.. by the grace of the preferment
of Senator Foraker, of whom he has always
been stanch political supporter and admirer.
He has enjoyed reputation as a jurist with
the strictest ideas concerning the dignity of the
bench and of being uncompromising in his
treatment of men, whether Witnesses officials or
attorneys, who transgressed the strict laws of
propriety in their treatment of his court

Judge W. NJ Hart. who presides over the

his name immortal by formulating legal and

evening after the departure of our
guests.

no one else. But she was stunning

Americans simply were not in 1t with

poses as being very democratic. but is
at heart a thorough aristocrat.
And Mary Anne's entrees were per-

satisfaction. "She is treasure. To

started In pursuit saw, however,
that they were deep in one of the
heart to heart conversations In which
they sometimes indulged, and decided
not to interrupt them. but to wait un-
til they came back to earth and re-
membered my existence. So, after a
moments hesitation. l sat down on
the steps leading to the slip, knowing
they would certainly visit it before
they went in. as 1t was Gabrielle's ia
vorite view. Even tonight, when
there was no moon and the outlook
was therefore limited, l was sure she
would not desert it.
Resting my chin in my hand, l re-
viewed the evening, which, from my
own private and particular standpoint,
had been a failure. Elizabeth had
mentioned Lord Wilfrid's reserved
manner, but to me he had seemed dis
tinctly sulky. and had more than
once seen his sister look at him ap-
pealingly, and at last with an indig-
nant sparkle in her brown eyes, after
which he reused himself and conversed
In 4 perfunctory manner with his
neighbor-who happened to be my un-
fortunate self.

Gordon Bennett with the fact that he

thought would be very effective. 1t

to be politely ignored by the gentle
man in question, who. beyond a civil
bow and smile, had appeared unaware
Of my existence and had devoted him
