No, he determined to go back there
honorably. as he had left. He might
get job shoveling snow-but alas It
was one of those cherries Christ

piled the people out of work with
snow to shovel.
Mulcahy had worked all his life.
He was fifty now, and. as he unrolled
the long catalogue of calamity which
other people might have called his
career, he found that the only year
of his life that had been happy one
was his last in jail.

"oh, II you only will. I'll glance

When at last the stitching was done

"a at the PROV turned his bach
on freedom and gazed longing
ly at the graystone penitentiary
which seemed to be slipping away
from him and growing smaller and
cozier as distance lent the enchant-
inert of perspective to his loneliness.
For Mulcahy. dazzled by liberty,
was very lonely indeed. Every mo-
ment that the water widened between
him and the prison it lessened the
distance from the city, and In two
minutes more the man knew that the
metropolis. bristling with antogonism,
cold and strange and busy with its
holiday season. would be upon him,
and 1t filled his heart with a name
less dread.
But after all. he had only himself
to blame for his liberty. Good be-
havior'-that was the thing that had
turned him loose from a comfortable
home. three square meals a day, and
his companions Of the quarry.

committed In defiance Of the keepers.
These reflections were interrupted
BY the sharp teeth OF the wind snap
ping at his legs through the thin
trousers and the threadbare coat.
He shivered as the boat locked, and
then took a long breath as he walked
up the gangplank and out into-was
this freedom striking terror to his
soul?
He was only free TO go anywhere;
but these people had their homes
TO go to. each his separate "peniten-
tiary." where there were warmth and
food and human things to talk to.
He shut his eyes for an instant and
started bravely up the billy street that
led to First avenue. Then suddenly
a strange thing happened He forgot

him like hot breath from the brew

thought which was Immediately fol.

Mulcahy minded him of the faded
five-dollar bill he had in his pocket,
the last bounty of the good home
across the river. He pulled 1t out and
looked at II.
II represented two weeks and q half
Of life: that is. he calculated that
while he was looking for a Job It
would provide food and shelter for him.
II he couldn't find job-but that
thought ended with a look toward the
river; and again he saw the pen"
and another thought occurred to him.
II he didn't find anything to do. he
could go back to the pen" and beg
them to take him In. No. he couldn't
do that. He squared his ragged
shoulders as II trying to rise superior

the ragged gentleman" that the next
day he advertised In all the papers
that he wished to reward the person
who had restored his daughter to her
family.
But Maicahy never learned OF this
golden opportunity which might have
given him a new start In life. though
he gave the officer who accompanied
him to the island the name and ad.

lace, and II was sent to her.
The next day saw Mulcahy safely
aboard the Fidelity and headed for the
pen"
At the end of the week he was sit

had seemed a fantom on that dread
full day he was set at liberty.
Between mouthfuls of fat turkey
and cranberry sauce he boosted to

how he had hoodwinked justice.
When he reported for work. few
days later. the keeper who presided
over the men engaged In breaking
stone remarked casually to fellow
keeper:

The trustees of the Carnegie peace fund publish an appeal to the Amer ican people, urging us to accept the English construction of the Hay Pauncefote canal treaty. Some of the signers of this Carnegie manifesto are no doubt actuated by motives that are not unpatriotic. but a consider able number of them are. like MT. Car nsgie himself. men whose sympathies and interests are too deeply engaged on the other side of the water to admit of their taking an entirely American point of view.
 An attempt is made to show that we are bound by the Hay -Pouncefote treaty to treat the Panama canal as if it had been neutralized in precisely the same sense that the Suez canal was neutralized by the Constantinopie convention of 1888. Therefore, 1t may be worth while for The American to point out some of the reasons why the people of the United States could not have intended to make a bargain giving England the kind of power at Panama that England has at suez. The Aemrican does not believe that our treaty with England. made by John Hay. in 1901. can be fairly con- strued to imply anything of this sort. If 1t could, there would be nothing to do but to denounce and abrogats the treaty in due form. For to live up to a treaty that put the people Of the United States in the position of de- cayed Turkish province and the fell aheen of Egkpt ought to be out of the question.
 It should be plain that the "neutra- iixation" intended by the Hay teaty Is simply a pledge given to the English nation that this country has no Idea of monopolizing the commercial tene- fits of the canal and that the English may make use of 1t on equal terms with all other foreign nations, so "hs as they keep the peace and behave themselves.
 The Suez canal was made "neu- trai" In another and very different sense-it was built mainly by French capital. in spite of the persistent pro tests of Great Britain. The British for diverse weighty reasons. did not dare claim sovereignty over It. The neutrality of the suez canal Is guar anteed by a concert of European pow CTS. The guaranty operates not as n magnanimous British concession 10 the rights of universal civilization. but rather as a sharp check upon British amblt ten.-New York American.

It is a good deal to be regretted that Nome did not have a better op- portunity of telling Seth Mann all about this peninsula as he is evident ly in a position to do O lot of good. The fact that the chief of the field service considered 1t advisable to con- suit him goes to show his standing.
 There may be lots of men who know more about Alaska than Mir. Mann could hope to learn in the short time at his disposal but there Is probably no man in the whole territory who could have the same opportunity of getting the ear of the President and congress. Being near" the President Is better than being near" the terri tory about which one Is supposed to give his views. Mir. Mann was prob ably selected in the first place because he had In some other field proven his capacity and real capacity after all permits e man to see more in | far shorter time than a man without sim liar gifts.
 Mann is Q noted authority on mat ters pertaining to railroads, or. at least, to certain branches of railroad ing, a knowledge of which almost makes a general knowledge of rail- roading a natural consequence. Like the skilled fisherman who by few signs in a stream sees that 1t likely contains fish and the kind of fish they are: like the expert geoglist or pros pector who can tell by the surface what is beneath. or like the navigator who sees what is coming by the color of the sunset. Mann. from his pre- vious experience. could probably tell more about the possibilities of n rail- road in Alaska than men who have spent their whole lives in the terri tory. It is most likely that because he was such a man he was selected for the trip to this territory.
 It really looks now as If not enough attention were paid to the work oi getting him acquainted with Seward peninsula. He has already come out in favor of a railroad in the othe' parts of Alaska and he might have come out for more.
