Governors
Dilemma
BY HAROLD CARTER

Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.)
The governor was not playing the
game as it should be played. That
much was common talk at the capitol.
1t was all very well for him to take
up an attitude of opposition to Boss
Lloyd, but why had he run for gov
ernor under Lloyd's auspices? He
must have known Lloyd was not Civ
ing away something for nothing.
There were some who justified the
governor in claiming that a man con-
not get into political life at all I'M
less he is willing to accept some
shady backing. But Governor Peters
had swung round the minute he took
the oath of office, announced that he
meant to be the Peoples Governor, y
and fought Lloyd tooth and nail, and
fought him to a standstill.
Peters had been Boss Lloyd's law
yer in the old days. He knew the
secret tragedy Of his life. Peters
wife had left him a few years after
their marriage, taking with her their
Outy CAIIu, d DOy. hiOyu, VIII dIA Ills
influence, had never heard of her
again, had never set eyes on her since
that day. Peters had still been try
ing to discover her when Lloyd nom
mated him for office.
Peters had been very quiet man.
Few knew him it was not till the pa
pers were full of the life story of the
new governor that it was known he
was married men, with a son at
the State university. Lloyd, in par
ticular, had not known. When he
knew he set to work to get Peters
in leading strings. And he had him.
He exulted as he walked up the hill
toward the executive offices. He did
not vince when Governor Peters kept
him waiting half an hour while ne
chatted with an old negro nurse,

DIED BLIND AND IN POVERTY
ample of the lngratitude of
the World.

The man who invented and installed
the first steam foghorn died blind and
in poverty despite his varied attain
ments and achievements in widely
differing fields. He was John FOULS,
Scotchman, who came to st. John,
n. B., in the early years of the last
century.
An interesting description of this
versatile Scot is given in paper read
before the st. John Historical society
by William Murdoch. G. f. Murdoch
says of FOULS:
HE was a nephew of the brothers
Robert and Andrew FOULS of Glas-
gov, printers and publishers, whose
productions were the admiration of
all their contemporaries, and whose
edition of Horace, published in 1744,
was hung up sheet by sheet, in Glas-
Cow, and a reward offered for the dis
covery of single error.
"This scion of an intelligent breed
was q graduate of Glasgow univer-
sity. After various experiences when
young man, even to serving as sur
geon on a whaling ship, he finally set
tied in st. John and became land
surveyor, artist, analytical chemist
and a civil and mechanical engineer.
His survey of the River st. John is
still in vogue in the Crown land Of
fee of this province. His chemical
knowledge ranged from Analysing
ores to making his own whisky when
overtaken by adversely.
"While operating as mechanical
engineer and owning a foundry he en-
gined the first steam ferryboat to
cross st. John harbOr. besides the first
steam craft to ply che st. John river.
Later on, when Mr. FOULS was the en-
gineer of the light and signal service
| of the government cI New Brunswick,
his principal charge being Partridge
island Cat the harnor's entrance),
wheron was an automatic fog bell, lie
| proposed a steam whistle, steam whis-
ties being then new to the world.
Later on his suggestion was acted
upon. There was no patent NV then
and though in his old age, blind and
poor, he was given no compensation,
and the inventor of the foghorn died
in poverty"

though other men would not have kept
him waiting at all, and would have
broken off any other interview imme-
diately.
At last Lloyd was admitted into the
governors office. He sat down, tri-
umph upon his face. Peters looked
at him inquiringly. "Well, sir?" he
asked.

Peters" Lloyd began.
"Often enough for my require.

Boss Lloyd leaned forward and
spoke earnestly.
Il know what you're going to say,
that it amt my business. But it is.
I've got hold on you, and if you sign
that bill your son at the university
goes to jail-yes, to Jail, sir"
The governor started and looked
keenly at the other. What has he
done?" he asked.
you know what he's done. You
know that woman up at the univer-
sity that got a heap of students into
trouble last year. You know he put
his name to a bit of worthless paper,
to buy her jewelry. You had the mat
ter hushed up, but it's known. And
there are the witnesses who'll swear
to it. tell you, governor, you can
choose right now between signing that
bill and saving your son."
Governor Peters drummed his hands
on the desk. rs that ALP he asked
quietly, when Lloyd had finished.
"Well, amt it enough?"
"You confess to having trapped him?
You have been spying on the boy, lur-
ing him on to ruin me? That woman,
Sadie Du Pas, is one of your people.
Everybody knows who she is and what
she has been. Everyone knows she
was paid by you. How will that
look ?"
'Look?" snorted Lloyd. "Why,
suppose people would say, that's
smart trick Boss Lloyd pulled off on
the governor But they won't get a
chance to say it, because you'll turn
down that bill"
Very deliberately Governor Peters
stretched out his hand and took a
document from his desk. With steady
fingers he wrote his name at the bot
tom. There's your answer, Mr..
Lloyd" he said.
Lloyd sprang to his feet, his face
white. ''You-you've done it, he

''you heard all that?'

'Have it prepared for the press

Boss Lloyd laughed contemptuous-
ly. "That won't CO." he retorted. 81

Perhaps" said Peters. care you
going to have the boy arrested?"
"What?" shouted Lloyd. I'm go
ing to send him to Jail, and the news
is going to be front-spaced on every
paper in the state"
II don't think so,' returned Peters
quietly. II have no son."
"Say, that's something new, amt
it?'
''Not at ALL" said the governor
quietly. Hes only an adopted son.

found him, thought it best to let him
