CHAPTER XXI.
Remuneration.


The grim posse that gathered In
haste that afternoon did not ride far.
It's work had been singularly well
done. It brought back to Damory
court, however, a white bulldog whose
broken leg made his would-be joyful
bark trail into a sad whimper as his
owner took him into welcoming arms.
Next day the major was carried to
his final rest in the myrtled shadow of
st Andrews. At the service the old
church was crowded to its doors.
Valiant occupied a humble place at
one side-the others, he knew, were
older friends than he. The light Of the
late afternoon came dimly in through
the s~tained.glass windows and seemed
Ito clothe with subtle colors the voice
of the rector as he read the solemn
service. The responses came broken
~, and their were tears on many faces.
Valiant could see the side-face OF
the doctor, its saturnine grimness
strangely moved. and beyond him,
Shirley and her mother. Many glanced

Efforts are being made now to get people interested in the cultivation of vacant lots for home vegetable gar dens. Several of the large real estate |companies have offered their lots free
 of charge for use in home gardening purposes.
 Where there is not sufficient vacant land around a home for a vegetable garden, the householder should take advantage of this opportunity to secure a good garden site without cost. While many of the real estate com panies will gladly lend their land free of charge for home garden purposes, naturally they cannot be expected to allow people to use large tracts for truck gardens without cost. Families are welcome to the use of these va
 cant lots in making home gardens. i In all cases where it is possible the 1 city government will be glad to blow | up lots for garden purposes and to | furnish manure for fertilizing the soil l The cooperation of all persons in l terested in the Improvement of the city is invited in this movement for the economic utilization of vacant lots

Secretary Garrison is an able lawyer. and the suggestion, coming as it does from almost official sources, that Me Reynolds would be appointed to the bench and Garrison made Attorney General, seems to be happy way out of the situation so far friction on the cab inet is concerned Secretary Bryan and Daniels have never been in accord with Garrison or Garrison has never been in accord with them When the Mexican situation vas acute, Garrison was entirely cut of harmony with Bryan's peace at eny price" programme. It IS said that President Wilson had to intervene between has war lords" on more than one oc- ca sion to gave some sembance of "har- muny."
 N hile Attorney General McReynods loested Folk in their New Haven contro- versy in connection with the interstate commerce commission investigation of tl,at road, nevertheless the Attorney Gen eral was placed in an anomalous posi- ticn, and several times the President was besieged to take sides in the matter, a proposition which he avoided with great sl i'll, until the time for giving Folk a r al good kick came, as il did and the President handed t to him oyer the shoulder of Senator Stone of Missouri in an open letter highly praising Stone, whom it is said Folk has ambitions to cipose for the Senate.
 The readjustment of his cabinet along the lines indicated it is said, will enable the President to kill two birds with one stone.'

Tennessee Mans Ability

a So far as public opinion here IS con cerned, MsReynolds seems to be about a two-to-one favorite. The Tennessee law Yer has demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is a great lawyer. Since his services in the department of justice have been of the highest order. But he las also demonstrated that he is not politician. All the embarrassment of the administration. far as the cabinet is concerned, has been brought about by the Attorney General, and mostly because of the fact that his knowledge of politics was limited.
 The Attorney Generals first trouble in the cabinet was in connection with the famous Camnetti case in California. A republican district attorney took the op- DC rtunity to play politics, a thought of V hich never entered the head of Mickey holds, and seeing the advantage to be obtained through his official position, District Attorney McNab took shot at McReynolds and crea.ed a situation most embarrassing to President Wilson right in the beginning of his administration. Many thought it would lead to the retire ment of McReynolds from the cabinet. But he was held in too high esteem by the Pre- sdent

 SPRING A SURPRISE Garrison Said to Be Out of Harmony With Peace Plans of Secretary
 Bryan and Secretary Dan
 iels
By c. E. STEW ART

Washington. July 15.-Attorney General McReynolds Is the most talked ot man right now to fill the vacancy on the su- preme bench caused by the death of the late Justice Horace H. Lurton It is be- 1ieved that the Attorney General will be named. and that Secretary of War Gar rison will succeed him as the head of the department of justice
 However, President Wilson has a way or keping his own counsel, and then doing the unexpected at the last moment He may follow this practice In this case and name some one whom the wise ones have failed to pick at the last moment Many prominent democrats who have earned ieputations as great lawyers have been menroned for the place. Judge Clayton, now on the federal bench in Ala lama has sorre supporters here. Franklin k Lane, Secretary of the Interior is the choice of many. and Frederick w, Lehman of St Louis. former President William Howard Taft and dozens of lesser lights in the legal world have had their names printed over the country as pos sihihties-ever proba bilities.
 It is not likely, however, that President Wilson will name a republican, President Taft selected a democrat S chief justice when he raised the present head of the supreme court to that exalted place, al- though Chief Justice White was appointed as an associate justice by President CleVe- land in 1894 But Chief Justice White and Assc ciate Justice Lamlr are the only two democrats now on the supreme bench fince the death of Associate Justice Lur- ton. Justice McKenna of California is a republican, as are Justices Holmes or Massa chusets, Day of Oho Hughes of New York Van de Vanter of Wyoming and Pitney of New Jersey. In otheer words, there are six republicans and two democrats on the supreme bench. Hence it is rot believed that the President will select a Jurist outside the ranks of the democratic party.
