DA|SY'S GREAT FAULT


1t could hardly be said that Win
throp Mosier courted the girl. Some
thing of the sort was limited, more or
less broadly, by Sphinx in the office,
but Winthrop repealed the soft im-
parchment with horror and distress.
This was by reason of his abnormal
modesty.
You ought to be kicked for even
supposing such thing" said Win
throp to Sphinx. Miss Considine is
gracious enough to receive my visits
occasionally" he went on, "and her
mother has been exceedingly kind to
me-far more so than l had any right
to expect. | have been entertained by
the family most Hospitality, but l hope
| would be the last to presume upon
their goodness. | suppose you were
only joking, Sphinx. but l must say |
consider such jokes in very bad
taste"
Whereupon Sphinx subsidized, content
ing himself with wink to the other
fellows.
1t seemed to most people that it was
hardly necessary for Mosier to depre-
ciate himself in the way he habitually
did. He was certainly not much to look
at, being understood and washed out
In appearance The color in him really
appeared to be diluted to a point
where it was doubtful. 1t was hard
to tell whether his eyes were blue or
gray, or whether his hair was flaxen
or bleached brown. He had funny
little snub nose. wide, thin-lipped
mouth and imperceptible eyebrows. As
to his ability, that was just about the
average The Office considered him a
fairly competent man and paid him q
fairly good salary, which seemed tc
Mosier most astonishing.
81 don't understand 1t at ALL" he
said to Sphinx. 81 know fellows who
are twice as clever as I am-good
steady fellows, too, who aren't doinl
half as well. l know there are hun
dreds Of better men out of employ
ment altogether. Even here-look a
Dinsey and Kraus. They ought to b.
where I am and | ought to be where
they are"
"Sure," replied Sphinx, kindly. -

A child-loving man was on his way
to Denver to transact some important
business. During the afternoon he
noticed, in the opposite section of the
Pullman, sweet faced, tired appearing
woman, travelling with four small chill
dren. Feeling sorry for the mother, he
soon made friends with the little ones
Early the next morning he heard
their eager questions behind the cur
tains of the berths, and the patient
eyes, DEAR of the mother as she
tried to dress them, and, looking out,
he saw a small white foot protruding
beyond the opposite curtain. Reach
ing across the aisle, he took hold of
the large toe and began to recite:
''This little pig went to market,
This little pig stayed at home;
This little pig bad piece of roast
beef,
This little pig had none;
This little pig cried 'wee-wee' all the
way home

man.
Then the foot was suddenly with
drawn and cold, quiet voice said:

LONGING.

Come to me In my dreams, and then
BY day l shall be well again!
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
AS kind to others as to me!
Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth
Come now, and let me dream 1t truth;
And part my hair. and kiss my brow,
And say, my love, why sufferest thou?
Come to me in my dreams, and then

For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing Of the day.

To go back to Miss Considine: The
young man continued his visits to the
house and for long time there was
nothing to distinguish the attentions
he paid the daughter from those which
the mother received from him. He
did his little best to be agreeable to
both, and showed no particular disap-
pointment If the girl happened to be
out when he called. In course of time,
however. all that changed.
The first sign Sphinx noticed was a
pronounced moodiness., He and Mo
sier, it must be said. were roommates.
Sometimes Mosler dressed himself
with great care and went out, presum-
ably to call on the Considines, for
three or four evenings hand running.
At other times he remained in his
room for an even more extended peri
cd, reading "Lalla Rookh" and other
poetry Of a distinctly sentimental ma
ture. If Sphinx spoke TO him he replied
In monosyllables and he sighed until
his companion complained of the draft.
His appetite for breakfast was poor
and occasionally he neglected to shave
himself. Sphinx, who was not young
man OF great experience. was inclined

and returned to "Lalla Rookh." 1t
was clear that he was unconvinced.

.U-DGE 6EOGHs UYTorE CASE.

The position Of Mr.. Justice Keogh, as his first
term of fourteen years upon the Supreme Court
bench draws 10 q close. is absolutely unique.
Indeed, anything like a parallel would he hard
to find in the judicial history Of this or any
other state during the last generation.
1t has not infrequently been the case that
good Republican judges in districts strongly
Republican and good Democratic judges in
districts strongly Democratic have been re-
elected without opposition. There have also
been gratifying instances of Judges of the
higher courts, Of distinguished ability and
superior judicial records, being renominated
and reelected without regard TO partisan con
siderati tons. even though the principal parties
were so evenly divided as 20 make any ordinary
contest between them uncertain. But what is
happening to Judge Keogh is In class by
itself. quite distinct from all such precedents.
When he was first elected, in 1895. it was III
the old I'd Judicial District which included
Brooklyn and the rest of Long Island and
which sometimes elected Republican and
sometimes Democratic justices of the Supreme
Court. He had been active as Democrat in
politics. and some even thought him so ardent
in partisan sentiment as to question his ability
10 free himself from it as Judge. No one ever
raised such a doubt after Judge Keogh went
upon the bench. He quickly secured the gen
eraI admiration and respect of the bar by his
impartiality and rare display of other judicial
qualities, well as by his thorough knowledge
Of the law. He also won the lawyers affection
in a marked degree by his singular kindIiness
Of nature and considerate treatment alike Of
the younger and older members OF the bar.
But the newly created 9th Judicial District,
in which Judge Keogh li-es is strongly Repub-
hcan- In ordinary circumstances there would
be no question of the election Of Republican
candidate for the Supreme Court over a Demo
cratic candidate. But the judicial election in
that district next autumn will not be an or1i-
nary one. No other person than Judge Keogh
has apparently been thought of for his present
post by any one. The lawyers have declared
their views most emphaticaly. First. the
Bar Association of Westchester County. I'm
which Judge Keogh lives. upon the motion of
a former Republican District Attorney unani-
mously passed resolutions insisting upon his
denomination and reelection by all parties The
bar associations of Dutchess and Orange
counties and Of the, city of Yonkers adopted
similar resolutions with like unanimity. Put
nam and Rockland counties have no bar asso-
Citations, but all the practising lawyers of
both those counties have signed similar reso-
lutions. But the good work has not been left
to the lawyers alone. The Republican County
Committee OF Westchester County, which prac-
tically controls the political situation In the
district. passed similar resolutions by the re-
markable vote Of III to ..
The result Is not in doubt. 1t will prove the
most notable vindieation of the principle which

merely checked discussion on what is a topic

the Senate and Assembly only one explanation
is vouchsafed 10 members Of the Immigration
Commission: Governor Hughes recommended
action on immigration in his message and ap-
pointed the commission, and the Legislature
is determined that he shall get no credit from
it. If that is the real reason that has controlled
the Legislatures attitude toward this and

extreme. The direct nominations question
