went away, looks rested and re-
freshed after his holiday; and when
a pretty blonde girl and her equally
good looking mother waved him a
greeting as he paused at Scott

he waved friendly hand and
favored them with a grin more
expressive and more friendly than

serene countenance.

expedition and it was way down
in the vicinity Of Ninth street that
she was encountered with her spe-
cial guardian, "Jim" Haley, of the
Secret Service, whose arms were
full Of bundles. She was wearing
one of the simple white gowns
which she has affected so much
since the death of her son and
narrow black braid supplied the
only trimming on her becoming
black hat.
