not create a crisis in the market,
nevertheless gave rise to nervous
| feelings in certain segments Of finan-
cial circles. 1t was inevitable that
| financial and political circles should
overlap and intersect each other in
| this, matter, and there were confer
ences which seemed to reflect a sense
of personal resentment at Jimmy for
having been murdered so inOpportune-
~. In the end, the financiers were
peremptory with Baldwin. He must
fix the thing some way. And he as
sured them that he would give the
appointment of the administrator his
immediate attention. Already, he said,
he had man in view who would be
reasonable and practical. There We're
suggestions of strong handed methods,
but that was never George R. Bald
wins way. He went out with his air
of affability unimpaired Meanwhile,
political and financial circles could
only wait and hope.
The excitement of the first few
days following the tragedy kept An
MES mind occupied; but, when the
funeral was over, and she returned to
her little fat, when the neighborly
women had at last gone back to their
homes and their interrupted duties,
and the world to its work, Annie was
left to face life alone. She could not
adjust herself to the change, and fear
and despair added their blackness to
her grief. Father Daugherty knew
how great a blow Jimmy's death
would be to her, and, though he gave
what comfort he could, he left her
grief to time. He did not belong to
the preaching orders. But, as he pom
dered in his wise old head, he shrewd-
ly guessed that the careless Jimmy
would hardly have made provision
against anything so far from his
thoughts as death, and he perceived
that If Annie were to be protected
from a future with which she, alone
and unaided, would hardly have the
capacity to deal, some one. must act.
Long ago might Father Daugherty
have celebrated his silver jubilee as
pastor of st. Patrick's, but he was not
the man for celebrations. The parish
was one big family to him, and he
knew the joys and sorrows. the little
hopes and pathetic ambitions of every
one in it. The sorrows Of his chill
dren he bore in his own heart: they

new sunlight of spring glazing in his
swollen, aching eyes, he found him
self, with companion, in Clark
street chop house. Just as they were
going to order breakfast, young man
came in, with black look in his eyes.
No one saw it then, though they all
remembered it afterward. Jimmy
greeted him as gayly as he greeted
everybody, but the young man did not
warm to Jimmy's greeting. There we're
words. the quick rush OF anger to
Jimmy's face, a blow, and the pistol
shot At first the newspapers were
glad to trace some sinister connec-
ton between the franchise fight and
the tragedy. Afterward, they said it
was only some private grudge. No
one dreamed that Jimmy Tiernan had
an enemy on earth.
At the hospital, Jimmy opened his
eyes, and on his face, grown very
white, there was smile again, the
last of his winning smiles. His friends
were with him, and they wept, IN
ashamed. Then he rolled his head on
his pillow, and spoke of Annie The
calm Sister Of Charity pressed her
rosary into his hand, and stopped to
listen. They had just time to send
for Father Daugherty.
Down in the ward, the sadness that
had come to Leadam street spread
blackly. Many a man. and many a
woman, and many child, cried. The
poor had lost friend, and they would
not soon forget him. In the long days
of the distant winter they would think
of him over and over. Every one in
that ward was poor, though the re-
formers, condescending that way
whenever Jimmy was up for re-elec-
ton, somehow never grasped the real
significance Of the fact. And 1t was
a somber Monday around the city
hall. Jimmy had been man with a
genius for friendship. The gang
mourned him in sadness that had
added to it the remorse of a recent
sobriety, but their grief, genuine as it
was, had in it an evil bitterness their
hearts would not have owned. They
were FESTIVE and troubled. Whenever
they got together in little groups, they
read CONSERVATION in one another's
faces; and now and then they cursed
the caution they had exfolled on Sat
urday night. Besides these varied eff
fects, Jimmy's death, while 1t could

had wrought their complex and tragic
tale in his face. The joys he left
them to taste alone; but he found too
much sorrow to have time for joy.
During all those years he had given
himself unsparingly; if it was all he
had to give, it was the most precious
thing he could have given-a daily
sacrifice that exhausted a tempera-
ment keenly sensitive and sympa-
thetic. So he had grown old and
white before his time Many man
had he kept straight when times were
hard and the right to work denied
him; many a widow had he saved
from the wiles of the claim-agent. The
corporations and the lawyers hated
him.
And so, on Monday morning, the
clerks of the probate court had
scarcely had time to yawn reluctant

as administrator.
He must keep a set Of blanks,
whispered one clerk to another.
AS Father Daugherty went about his
inventory, he saw that the result
would be what he had expected. Jim.
my had left no estate, no insurance,
nothing but the saloon. And that,
with Jimmy dead, was nothing, for its
value lay all in Jimmy's personality
and the Importance of his position in
politics. The fixtures would hardly
pay for the burying of him. When
the debts the law prefers had been

the dead man, but it kept itemized &C
counts meanwhile, and it could not
long pretend to have forgotten mate
rial things. It would present its bills,
and they must be paid. Annie would
have hardly cent to meet them with.
And Father Daugherty knew, even If
Annie did not know, what the world
would do then.
Yet he smiled, though he shook his
head, as he thought of the free-hand-
ed, discriminating generosity that

TELLS BOMB PLOTS
CONFESSION OF GEORGE e. DAVIS
CAUSES STIR IN NEW YORK
LABOR RANKS.
WAS M'MANIGAl OF EAST
Member Of iron Workers Oreanizs-
ton Gives Particulars Of Bomb Out
RACES Committed at 6ehest Of
Union Officials, It Is Alleged.

New York, Dec 9.-George E. Davis,
the dynamiter on whose evidence the
federal grand jury at Indianapolis has
just found indictments in numerous
cases in which officers and members
OF the International Bridge and Struc-
tural Ironworkers' association are de-
PENDANTS, made one of the most re-
markable confessions ever made.
David and Harry Jones are among
the new men indicted, in addition to
the many connected with the union al
ready convicted on previous charges.
Davis gives dates and places of dy-
Mantle outrages. He relates how he
was hired to blow up bridges, viaducts
and other structures erected by nom
union labor.
The confession is a document of ex-
traordinary interest. 1t shows how
small the reward was that Davis re-
ceived for the destruction he caused.
In one case he got $50 for a dynamite
outrage, in another only $40.
The confession shows the peril to
which hundreds of persons were sub
jected by the conspirators. Davis
carried the dynamite in suitcases
through cities, travelled in railroad
trains and steamships with it, deposit
ed it here and there in saloons over
night as if 1t were the most harmless
substance in the world Yet he
handled quantities sufficient to cause
great loss Of life and destruction of
property if accident had caused an eX-
plosion.
The confession shows how Davis did
his work and his relations with the
officers of the Ironworkers' union.
In brief, Davis was to the east what
Ortie McManigal was to the west. He
was trailed by Robert j. Foster, a
Louisville detective employed by the
National Erectors' association, to find
the man who had been doing the dyna-
hitting in the east. Davis was finally
induced to talk because he thought he
had been i'll treated by the union,
which threw him over after the arrest
of Frank c. Webb in February. 1912.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 9.-One hundred

more.
The rescue occurred 205 miles
northwest of Diamond Shoals. The
Rio Grande, after its crew failed to
subdue the flames in one of its for
ward holds, sent out wireless calls for
assistance.
The Swanmore, which was within a
few miles Of the burning ship, picked
them up and hurried to the burning
vessel. 1t reached the Rio Grande
shortly after four o'clock and sent life
boats to take off the passengers. A
high southwest wind caused a choppy
sea and there was danger of the life
boats being crushed against the sides
of the two steamers.
The Rio Grande was ready to trans
fer the passengers when the Swan
more hove in sight and had its life
boats loaded with human freight
while hanging in their davits.
The rescue, accomplished in dark
ness, is regarded here as the most
thrilling recorded in some time. The
excellent disciple of the crew of
both vessels is believed to be respon-
sible for the successful transfer of
the passengers from the burning YES
sci to the Swanmore.
