WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. o.
Charles A. Cottrill. collector of inter
nal revenue for the territory of Ha-
waii. has been chosen as one of the
early victims for the Patronage Jug
gernaut." The matter of his success
sor was being discussed In whispers
by treasury department officials be-
fore the volume of endorsements for
another term was received from Mr..
Hendry at the department of justice.
A specific conclusion was reached to
displace Mr.. Cottrill the minute suit
able man could be found for the place.
The removal of Collector Cottrill
was determined upon at an early
stage in the pie division because he
is appointed for an indeterminate
term and no objection can be male to
chopping off his salary at any time.
Republican senators have. raised the
slogan that all federal officials should
be permitted to serve out the definite
terms for which they were designated.
This defense does not apply to Mr..
Cottrill, as he was named to serve
during presidential pleasure aL'l his
tenure can be limited by the naming
Of his successor.
The treasury officials. headed by
William G. McAdoo, secretary of the
treasury, and Colonel Osborn, commits
sioner of internal revenue, have been
casting about for a desirable successor
to Collector Cottrili Twas agreed
from the outset that he must be white.
Senator Vardaman and other south.

. within his ny eabin il mn

When the man, unrested, woke and
forced a passage beneath his sail
through the snow to the boats deck,
he saw that his world of another day
was turned from enc of black ice to
one Of endless white,
Taking what tea and food was left,
and his blankets and kettle, he left
the sloop and trudged westward
through the loose snow in the face
Of the tireless wind That day he
won a score Of miles, and slept at
night, dog-like, in a snow hole behind
a sheltered corner of the shore. Re-
Stunning his way in the gray morning,
he clambered across a projecting
finger Of land to make his way down
again toward the frozen lake edge
where the footing was less rough 1t
was here that he slipped among the
shore rocks and pitched sidelong
down the sharp decliyity. ClaWing
in the snow, he rose again on his
right foot, stepped forward, and fell
in a helpless huddle as though he had
trusted his weight to an alder stan.
The man turned, and, hObbling
with great caution, came at last to
the ending of his half-obliterated trail
of the day before. By nightfaI he
had retraced it ten miles.
All day long an uneasy sense of
some other presence had been with
him like an obsession: All day long
he had failed to justify the dread.
Cunningly he would hobble on, and
then, without warning, pause; whirl
in his tracks to stare to rearWard.
Ever there was nothing.
That night he slept uneasily and
in pain. One time he came alertly
conscious and listened with intent
ness. There was no sound.
Through all the painful toiling of
the ensuing day the man was logged
still by the sense Of an unseen, silent
presence that watched his way from
afar and followed it with stealthy

Rising, falling, rising, falling, food
ing the fTigid midnight air with PAL

the ultimate voicing of the woTld-old
melancholy of all life.
Peering outward, the man saw that
the snow had ceased and the stars
were far, gIttering points above the
world. And he saw at last the hither-

Gaunt they were, and their eyes
we're bright with the emboldened
eagerness of long hunger: Occasion

the snow with his quivering brush,

During the night he heard the pad

A gray form leaped, but the ak blow
