Washington, D. c., Dec. 2S.-Maj0r
Gen. Thomas H. Barry, U. s. A., who
rose from poor boy in the Irish
quarter of New York to the, highest
rank in the army is likely to be the
next chief of staff. No official an
nouncement has been made that Gen.
Barry has been selected to succeed
Major Gen.. Leonard Wood, whose
term of duty as the head Of the army
will expire next April, but it is report.
ed on seemingly high authority that
the selection has been made and will
be announced in due time.
e Gen. Barry is one of the best known
officers in the army, and was the COM
mander in chief of the Army of Cuban
Pacification that was sent to Cuba
following the governmental troubles
there a few years ago. \.
Born in the old Greenwich village
section of New York city, he was 40
odd years ago known as plain tom"
Barry, who was distinguished in his
immediate circles as one Of the bright
est boys in the public schools. His
rise to fame and position is often
pointed ont as a brilliant example Of
how a poor boy, without fortune and
Influential friends, can go to the front
in America.
Recommended BY Roosevelt.
When Gen. Barry was a boy the con-
gressional district in which was To-
Gated the public school that he attend
ed was then represented in Washing
ton by the late Robert B. Roosevelt,
an uncle Of Theodore Roosevelt. In
1872 Congressman Roosevelt found
that he had an appointment to West
Point waiting for some bright lad in
his district. He looked about, and
somebody suggested Thomas H. Bar
ry. Young Barry got the appoint.
.ment, and in 1873 he entered the mill
tary academy.
At West Point Barry was one of the
popular cadets Of his class. He was a
good student and fine athlete, and
when he rduated in 1877 he was as
signed as a second lieutenant in the
Seventh cavalry, Clusters old com.

thoughts, always held from her, sprang
at her, encircled her. seemed to draw
her toward him as once his arms had
done.
Standing on the summit Of the hill,
where the wall Of the quarry drops
down to the water front and the
wharves, he relinquished himself to
his dream OF her.

saw Rose standing few yards away

CHAPTER XVII.

Out OF the FuIlness Of the Heart.
That night It was Berny's turn to
be wakeful. In the silence OF the sleep
ing house and the warm darkness Of
her curtained room. she lay tossing
on her bed. hearing the clear, musical
striking Of the parlor clock as It
marked the hours. When the first
thin streak Of gray painted pale line
between the window curtains she rose
and took sleeping powder and soon
after fell into heavy slumber.
This held her in the dead. motion.

hours Dominick's noiseless departure
hardly disturbed the hushed quiet Of
the little fat The Chinaman. trained
by his exacting mistress to make no
sound while she slept. went about his
work with stealthy step and cautious
touch, even in the kitchen. shut of by
space and muffling doors, continuing
his care. He had had more than one
experience with the wrath Of Mrs.
Ryan when she had been reused from
late slumbers by banged door or q
dropped pan.
1t was nearly lunch-time when she
awoke, slowly emerging from the
black, unbroken deadness Of her sleep
to a momentarily augmenting sense OF
depression. She rose, her body seem.
ing to participate in the oppressed
discomfort Of her mind. and. going to
the bedroom window, drew the curtain
and looked out.
The day promised little in the way
OF cheering influences. Fog hung
heavy In the air. a gray veil depend.
ing from a gray haze Of sky. That
portion Of her nelghbor's garden which
the window commanded was drenched
with It. the flowers dropping MOSTLY
as II 1t weighed on them like heavy
substance under the pressure Of which
they bent and dripped. The stretch
OF wall that she could see cleaned
with dampness. A corner Of stone. on
which drop regularly formed, hung
and then fell. held her eyes for few
notwithstanding moments. Then she
turned away, muttering to herself: 4,
Good Lord, what day!"
She was at her lunch when the tele.
phone bell rang. She dropped her
napkin and ran to the instrument
which was In the hall. She did not
know what she expected-or rather
she did not expect anything In par.
ticular-but she was In that state Of
feverish tension when she seemed the
focus Of portentous happenings. the
point upon which events Of sinister
menace might. at any moment. bear
down. Bill Cannon might be calling
her up. for what purpose she could not
guess. only for something that would
be disagreeable and perturbing.
