The very next day he met Mr.. Gilman on the street
The old gentleman, with his silk hat and fur overcoa
was moving toward his automobile, when Ferdy, who
arranged to be passing, met him face to face.
"Ah, my young friend said Mr.. Gilman with his
characteristic lack of constraint coming from unch

hour"
That's fortunate very fortunate indeed. You can

Ferdy, blushing at the unexpected Offer hesitated

very great favor-if you did" Mr.. Gilman glanced
furtivey about though fearing to be overheard, and
his manner awoke vague suspicious in his companions
mind "The fact is, want company. There's some
thing bothering me-something can't talk about; and
I want somebody to divert me-"
Ferdy his heart beating rapidly, looked at his
panions face 1t had troubled look His eye then
travelled downward to the hand that held the heavy
knobbed cane and the sharpness of the veins attesed

the old gentleman to the chauffeur.
They sped rapidly uptown. AS they passed through
the drifting crowd on Broadway, congested still more
by the cars with their Changing bells and the vehicles
with their crunchng wheels Ferdy planned his cam

Mr. Gilman lived between Fifth and Madison ave-
nues in a mansion of white stone the door of which
was opened by butler in livery. Leaving their coats
and hats with this butler tn cold Immediately led
him into the library where he ordered luncheon to be
served.
"Ah," he murmured as he sank weariy into large
cushioned chair "here at last is peace and quiet My
dear friend you don't know what it meaps to have you
with me-"
"Im very glad to be here" said Ferdy nervousy, He
was looking at the sumptuous furnishings and wonder
ing what use could be made of them in the socalistic
tracts that he planned.
"You see" Mr. Gilman a little later pursued "we
rich men have our tribuations No really big deal is
ever pulled off without being snapped and
some sleep being lost But this" he added, as the
butler appeared with the consomme "is of the
things that give us strength"
He ate with relish, Ferdy doing the same; but the
young mans heart was beating wildly. Mr.. Gilmans
last speech was a confession that some big deal was
about to be made and he could scarcely contain him
self so fearful was he that the facts would be
told Presently however, his hopes raised. When
the meal was nearly ended Mr.. Gilman turned to him
and asked: "What is your opinion of P. and g.?
Ferdy, passing the napkin meditatively across his
mouth, replied that nobody seemed to know.
That's it, that's what noticed all along" said Mr..
Gilman.
That's why there's been so little trading in it-no-
body knew which way it would CO."

president (Cleveland was in office
and he expected to appoint a dem
ocrat. President Cleveland closely
studied Fuller's political career
and announced that Fuller was
not too partisan" and thereupOn
appointed him.
One of the remarkable things
about Chief Justice Fuller was the
wide extent of his general knowl-
edge. 1t has been said that no
case was ever presented to him of
which he did not have knowledge
of some important phase acquired
previously.
Chief Justice Fuller spent much
of his time at Washington at study
and work, yet he found time for
social enjoyment. At his summer
home at Bar Harbor he devoted
much of his time to study.
The chief justice passed away in
the arms of his daughter Mrs. Ma
thaniel Francis of Washington at
the cottage he has been occupying
at Sorrento where he has been for
the last three weeks. At his bed
side were his granddaughter, Miss
Aubrey Francis, a dnthe attending
physician, DR.. Phelps of Sullivan S
Harbor. There will be simple ser
vices at the little chapel in Sor-
rento on Wednesday, after which
the remains will be taken to Chi

appearance, without display OF

peace.
AS an evidence of Jeffries' conf.
dence, it was announced shortly be-
fire he entered the arena that he
had prepared banquet for 20 of his
intimate friends.
CANVAS TROUBLE SETTLED
The difficulty over the canvas in
the ring was adjusted to the salts
faction of Jeffries by stretching the
red canvas on which Jeffries had
done most of his boxing during his
training.
Representatives of the two fight
ers had agreed to submit their can
vases, but Johnson's which was
pure white, cast such a sharp white
glare that it was rejected.

" imports from and exports to Europe
show some decreases. The trade with

For the seyen-month period ending
July considerable gains over last years
figures are shown by the imports from
the principal countries except France,
Italy, British India. Japan. and partlcu-

Brazil is due to the smaller receipts dur

which were particularly heavy during the
early part Of 1909.
The large gain in the imports from Cuba
during the seven-month period Of the
present year is due primarily 10 the larger
receipts Of higher-priced sugar from that
island. Exports during the seven-month
