DICKENS MADE A coLoNIsT
For Forty-fve Years His Son Toiied
In the Australian
Bush.

Forty-nvc years ago a keen. pleas
ant faced man In n green velvet waist
coat might have been seen on the
platform at Waterloo Station. London.
At his side was young fellow OF 20.
his face flushed with emotion,
"Good-by. my boy. and God bless
you" spoke the elder man. DO your
duty and keep up your pluck"
The young man thought of all the
good times he had had with his father
of all the wonderful talks. and
games. and journeys they had enjoyed
together-he and the best. the kindest
father In all the world-thc tears
sprang to his eyes. The two gripped
hands again and the train steamed
away. And that night England-and
London-and Rochester and Gad's
Hill-were shut out for forty-five
years while the young man worked
and dreamed and hoped in the Aus
traiian bush. The elder man was

CHAPTER xxv.-(continued.)

TT is only a request from the sec
retary OF war that be permitted to
meet the inventor OF the wireless per-
cussion cap" Mr. Grimm explained
carelessly. THE negotiations have
reached a point where the War De-
partment must have one or two ques-
tions answered directly by the inven-
Tor. Simple enough. you see.
But IL has been understood. and
have personally impressed II upon the
secretary OF war. that such meeting
Is impossible" objected Mr.. Howard.
"Ali negotiations have been conducted
through me, and I have. as attorney
for the inventor, the right to answer
any question that may properly be an
swered. This now Is request for
personal interview with the inventor.
"The necessity for such an inter
view has risen unexpectedly. because
OF a pressing need OF either closing
the deal or allowing 1t to drop" Mr..
Grimm stated. Il may add that the
success of the deal depends entirely
on this interview"
Mr. Howard was leaning forward in

man. Innocent himself Of all the In

Il have no doubt there will be some
sort of a DEAL" replied Mr.. Grimm.
"As / say, however. 1t is absolutely de-
pendent on an interview between the
inventor and myself at once-this
afternoon"
Mr.. Howard thoughtfully drummed
on his desk for little while. From
the first. save in SO far as the patent
rights were concerned. he had seen no
reasons for the obligations of utter
secrecy which had been enforced upon
him. Perhaps, II he laid 1t before the

siding officer of the senate he might from sheer
sympathy try to deliver some of those whose
deliberations he guards from the fate which once
befell him.
One of the speeches of length which Mr.. Fair
banks made as a senator was on the question Of
Panama. The speech was delivered not long
after the recognition of the independence of the
republic of Panama by the United States and
at a time when party feeling ran high. 1t was
a long speech and the senator gained much Of
the fruit of glory, though he had to wait a long
time for it to ripen. and this was the way of it:
Senator Cullom had charge of the Panama
matter on the floor of the senate. The Indiana
senator went to Mr.. Cullom and expressed his
wish to speak at a certain hour. Senator Gull
lom said All right" and apparently the thing
was fixed.
The senate's business session was over and
Senator Fairbanks buttoned his coat and started
to rise from his seat. Mr.. Fairbanks is a long
man and the process of his rising is likewise
long. He was up finally, however. only to find
the aged Morgan was claiming President Pro
TEN Frye's attention.
A look Of something like despair came into
the Indiana senator's face, for when Morgan of
Alabama got started on a speech neither gods
nor mep knew when he would come to the end.
Senator Morgan. however. drove away the look
of despair from Senator Fairbanks face by say
ing: 81 wish to make a few remarks only"
Mr. Fairbanks sank back in his seat and Mr..
Morgan with only two pages of notes on his desk
began to talk. He kept at 1t for twenty minutes.
came to what the senator thought was his climax
and then apparently started to resume his seat
The Indiana senator had Strengthened up again
and half opened his mouth to begin, but the
southern senator had Strengthened up again and
had on his desk two new pages of notes. which
he had drawn from a shelf underneath.
The Indianan sat down once more and the
ALBANIAN went on with his renewed determine
ton. He spoke until half past one. anne to an
other seeming climax and then made a movement
which made every one think he was going to sit
down. and this movement was a signal for the
Hoosier senator to rise again. But Mr.. Morgan
had two fresh pages of notes and at 1t he
started anew. Mr.. Fairbanks sighed and sat.
The other senators who had been held to their
seats by the belief that Mr.. Fairbanks was to
speak looked at the aged but tireless Alabaman
and one after another left for the senate restau-
rant for the luncheon hour was full come. Fair
banks, Morgan and Frye were left alone on the
floor of the senate. but the galleries had a
goodly throng. waiting to hear from the middle
west on the matter of Panama.
Senator Morgan talked in twenty minute relays
with two pages Of notes for each twenty min
utes and talked until the fifth hour. Then Sena-
tort, saw the people departing and the minute Of
Morgan. held out his hand. and with the grace
br which he IL famous he congratulated his
southern colleague on the strength Of his speech.
