his way from school to climb upon Uncle Billy's
knee and listen TO the old mans stories.
AS for the agent, he went about his duties as
usual, little absent-minded than ever, per-
haps, and no doubt little slower in his
ments, but totally unconscious that the news had
spread beyond the confines Of his Office.
ON the third day as he was walking slowly to-
~ wards the station his head a trife bowed and his
hands clasped behind his back he felt hand laid
upon his arm and glancing up beheld Hershan.
Riverton's leading wholesale merchant

The agent stopped short To learn that the
public knew of his humiliation hurt his pride

you heard of it?" he asked softly.
Heard Of it? OF course I've heard of it. ] tell
you it's an outrage"
NO, Hershall" replied Uncle Billy seriously.

for wanting every pound of freight it secure.
It's not the companys fault Hershall, it's mine
The wholesaler did not reply for moment but
let his hand slip down the agents arm until It
casped the old mans hand affectonately.
II might have known, Uncle Billy" he said,
regretfully but didn't think. But never mind"
A peculiar gmmer in his eyes he walked
away that set the agent to thinking and wonder

spread the sheet open upon his desk.

bulky petition, laid before in person by Mr..

Uncle Billy, you did when / began to display
my ignorance in your dear old office, and more
than that, Uncle Billy they are men who know

When the old man had finished reading the let
ter, he folded it carefully and placed it back in
its envelope. Then he walked to the window and
looked out the city and in his eyes was the
peace which is beyond understanding.
Dear old Riverton!' he murmured, and fos

POLITICAL OUTCASTS ARE
NOT WANTED IN JAPAI;

Commenting on the sanctuary Civ
en- by Japan, like other civilized coun-
tries. to political refugees from Chi
ma and elsewhere, the japanese Times
remarks that the cause of the Chi
nese revolutionares, meaning those
who seem to think that China could
be administered under republican
form of government, Is utterly hope
less. but their existence is a great
nuisance to China and also to Japan.
They come swarming to these shores,
establish their headquarters In To-
kio, and send home inflammatory cir
culars. and this at n time when the
government and people of Japan are
most anxious to extend their good
will and friendly sympathy towards
China and her government, now In a
very difficult pass. Now that the
msts of suspicion and prejudice be-
clouding the Chinese mind are being
gradually blown away adds the Times,
the delicacy of the situation is in
creasing. Japan does not want the
revolutionary refugees, and the fact
that they are here cannot accelerate
the improvement of Chinese feeling
towards this country But Japan can
do no more than employ every legal
means to keep the doings of the rev.
olutionists under control, "China
should rest assured" concludes our
contemporary. that all means with
our power will be exercised to keep
the Chinese revolutionists in this
country within proper bounds, and
whatever she wishes to be done with
regard to them she should do through |
our authorities. As to the revolution
aries themselves, the public and gov
ernment of this country should unite |
in dlscouraging their presence on
these shores"
