Stanief raised his lashes and met

Adrian was forcing. And the En-

The Adrian of two years before
would have burst into furious pas

and walked to the nearest window
Stanef necessarily rose also, and
stood by his chair, waiting. At the
opposite end of the room Allard
clenchde his hands in helpless ner-
vousness, forgetting to keep his
pretense of reading. The low
voices, the leisurely movements of
the two, had not masked from him
the crisis for the hopes and plans
of years.
But Adrian made no scene. Prob
ably no one realized less than the
Regent himself how much the ex-
ample of his own selfcontrol had
taught the same quality to his
ward. When the young Emperor
came back. only his extreme pallor
betrayed the tempest within.

AN UPRIGHT JUDGE


On the bench Gaynor stood for q
strict Interpretation of the law.
His decisions bearing upon misuse
of the police power in congested
municipalities as New York city
were among the most important
that he rendered. The fact that
Judge Gaynor issued many iniunc.
tons restraining the police from ar.
bitrary interference with law break
ing resorts was held up as repre-
hensible by Gaynor's political enc.
mics. But the practical result of
compelling the police to proceed
with their blockades under judicial
authority, it is considered by many,
prevented much abuse and grating
in New York municipal forces.
ELECTED MAYOR.

The shooting occurred on the
port side of the deck forward,
which was thronged with persons
saying their farewells to the de-
parting passengers. The shots and
the struggle to disarm the assail-
