sleep, and it was some time afterward
that 1 awakened to find my arms
empty.
For moment I thought 1 had
awakened naturally, and then it
came to me that my sleep had been
broken into by the "honk, honk' of a
motor horn.
Miss Parker evidently was listening
for any sound that 1 should make,
for as l awakened with a sigh she
tiptoed in.
There was curiosity in her eyes as
well as in the tones of her voice as
she made the announcement. "Mr
Gordon has just left to make the
noon train. He told me to tell YOU
that he had had a telegram which
called him Immediately, and he knew
that you would not be able to go so
soon. He said that he would meet
YOU whenever you wired him that
you We're coming"
1--WE shall try and go tomorrow,
Miss Parker" l said, "just as we had
decided to do. You may wire him to
that effect. Wait, 1 will send a night
message as he would not get it until
tomorrow, anyway"
Miss Parker brought me the tele-
graph blanks and placed the bed
table secross my lap.
l thought very long and carefully
before I wrote the message, which l
decided should be perfectly common
place aand casual. I would intro
duce some of that hypocrisy he had
intimated 1 might use in my relations
with him, to good effect.
1 knew perfectly well that he had
received no. telegram. and he knew
that knew it, but for once 1 pre-
tended, as he had, and said: Sorry
your business called you away. Baby
and leave tomorrow afternoon.
Meet us if possible. Katherine"
/ knew that it was very likely that
John would not meet us, and so the
Gerry height of my hypocrisy were the
words ''if possible"
Then I went about calmly makingl
arrangements for closing the house
with the exceptions of a few rooms
on the lower floor in which Hannah
could make herself comfortable.

The Convention of 1892.

OI lOSZ.
Although there was bitter antagon-
ism to Cleveland in some Party quar-
ters he was once more the dominant
Party favorite when the 1892 Demo-
cratic National Convention assembled
at Chicago, on June 2. Cleveland's S
old and persistent enemies in his
home state of New York, were again
the head and front of such opposi-
tion to him as existed; and they left
no stone unturned to accomplish their
purposes.
No sooner had the National Com
mittee issued the National Convention
call, than a New York state conven-
ton was assembled-four months
ahead of the National Convention
and "a "snap" delegation set up to
support Governor David B. Hill in
stead of Cleveland Around this
nucleus, which was bitterly assiled
by those who were called the "anti-
snappers," the Cleveland opposition
rallied; but to no avail Out of

~ REATNESS and the presidency
" found John Tyler down on one
knee, playing "knucks' with his boys
In a pathway of his d%ooryard in Will
liamsburg, that stately old vice-regal
village of colonial Virginia. He had
not ever heard that Harrison was i'll,
until destiny, without steam, wire or
rail to carry.it, sped to him from Wash
ington by boat and buggy with the
news that the president had been dead
a day and that the empty presidential
chair was awaiting the vice president.
Tyler belongs among the third or
fourth-rate presidents. Although a
clean-handed, kindly man of good pres
ence and polished manners, he was
a mediocre country lawyer and a mar
row-minded politician, with a gift for
getting offices that he had no gift for
filling.
AS John Tyler stepped into the
White House, its door closed against
the party which had elected him only
five months before. Death had turned
out the Wings after 80 days of power
and caused a political revolution.
Clay looked upon the accidental pres
ident as only a regent for the Harri-

HOG ISLAND FORCE GOING

Philadelphia, Dec 17.-From the
high water-mark of $4,000, the Hog
Island Ship yard force of workers has
been reduced to $500, and in about a
month these men also will be gone.
There still are four ships, all trans
ports, at the yard being QUILTED for
sea. One, the Marine, was on a trial
trip today and is about ready to be
turned over to the Government. With
good weather the last transport is due
to be delivered on Jan. IS, and the

son administration and for the Wing
party. Early in the extra session of
congress, that impression of the SEN
ator from Kentucky was sharply cor
rected by a presidential veto of n of
his W bills-a banking bill.
The Wings were wild with rage;
the Democrats filled with glee. The
Democratic senators fastened in a
body to the White House, where they
were patting Tyler on the back while
a Wing mob outside in the yard was
making a %vociferous, but futile pro-
test. When the next veto came in
Clay himself called the cabinet to-
gether and the members, with one ex-
ception, agreed to resign.
The exception was none other than
that Of the secretary Of state, Daniel
Webster. "Where am I to goT" the
god-like Daniel Numbered in his be-
wilderment. Some told him to go to
one place, some to another. He held
on for two years, until he had con-
cluded the negotiation of the Ashbur-
ton treaty, which fixed the disputed
boundary between Maine and Canada,
and then he resigned.
Upon Webster's retirement, Tyler
installed in the state department his
mentor and idol, John G. Calhoun, and
thus completed the overturn. The
cabinet was now out and out Demo-
cratic and of the p%ro-slavery brand.
Texas had seeded from Mexico,
which had abolished slavery, and it's
American settlers, who were facing the
choice of slave labor or free labor,
were anxious to be admitted to the
Union. The slave holders Of the
southern states wanted to expand
their power over the vast Texan en-
pire as an offset to the rapid expan-
sion of the free states In the great
West. But northern sentiment was
opposed.
AT an OppOrtune moment for the
annexationists, the ubiquitous John
Bull, with his omnipresent gunboat,
appeared on the Texan scene as a
mediator between Mexicans and
Texans. His entry gave the slave in.
terests the needed villain for the play,
and the cry went up that we must
annex Texas to keep the British from
grabbing it.
Nevertheless the senate rejected
overwhelmingly the treaty of annexa-
ton. Thereupon Tyler proposed to
beat the devil around the stump, and
Texas vas annexed the last night of
the administration by a simple joint
resolution, rushed through the two
houses Of congress.
