a row in which Hillquit got the

FLOW TO PREMIER
 MACDONALD'S RISE
Scottish Son of Soil Heads
 British Government

London, Jan. 1s.-To be the frs labor-socialist prime minister of Great Britain would of itself be enough to give James Ramsay Mac donald a sure place in the history of his country. But he has other things, too, that make him unique in the long ffne of British premiers:
 He is the first chief officer of the crown sprung from B family of hum- ble farm laborers.
 He is the poorest man who has ever held the office.
 He is the first teetotaler who has ever held the office.
 He has travelled to and studied on the spot more portions of the British empire than any prime minister In history.
 So it will be gathered that O. very interesting, very human figure has suddenly emerged into the full blaze of publicity and attention over here.
 Macdonald's career is something like that of our own presidents. He had no royal road to preferment. His parents had to work hard for living

 "Ah-good morning, Etans!" said Fisher.
 Good morning, sir" Young Evans spoke in a very pleasant voice; the looked well-groomed and brisk.
 Fisher made some remarks abous hoping he would settle down and do good work; he gave him pile of papers to go through which needed sorting and filing. As the young man turned to go, he called him back.
 Just ask Miss Adams to bring me those papers I gave her this morning. She'll know-Mr. Nigel Bretherton's, I mean"
 "Yes, sir"
 "Nigel Bretherton." Young Evans repeated the name to himself as he walked away down the passage. Nigel Bretherton! Where had he heard the name before? It was only when he had delivered Fishers message to the typict. and returned to his own desk, that remembrance came to him.

 Old Witch Wiggins also came and knocked upon tho door with her crooked stick but the Grocery boy knew too much 10 lot her inside. Old Witch wiggins was still sitting upon the front steps when the Rag gedys and little Rag puppy dog got .up.

 So all had a very pleasant break rast while mean old Witch Niggins sat out on the front steps and bit her finger nails. T know the Raggedys are inside eating nice breakfast" the cd Witch howied, "and I am getting hungrier and hungIfcr every minute"

 It was the name Mary Furnival had given him two nights ago when he went to get news of the lost Null tane for her.
 Mrs. Nigel Brethcrton." That was what she had said when he asked the name of the friend whom she feared was drowned. She had cor reeted herself immediately to Mrs. Robert Durham" but he could dis tinctly remember them both.
 After all, it was nothing more than a coincidence, but one which inter- ested him.
 Later in the day he spoke to Miss Adams about it.,
 Miss Adams was Fishers secretary and typist, clear-headed. capable girl. who had already cast rather ad- mlring glances at young Evans.
 She answered his question readily: she liked 10 show him that she knew Ia great deal about her employers affairs.
 Nigel Bretherton? Oh. he was tle young brother Of our chief client. Got killed at the Front six weeks ago. We had all his affairs to SC; straight"
 She spoke with proprietary inter- est, and was disappointed that Evans did not seem particularly impressed.
 Married man?" he asked casually.
 "oh. yes."
 Hard tuck on his widow"
 "les. She's only one of hundreds, though, isn't she? And dare say shc'll marry again: shes awfuiiy pretty. She came here once with Tim just after they were married"
 "Awfully pretty!" Young Evans looked interested. "Whcre is sine now" he asked.
 The girl laughed.
 You seem interested" she said. with a slight toss Of her head. "She's in London, I suppose-they have a fiat somewhere. No, I don't know where"
 She bent over her work, and Evans said no more.
 But his interest in the coincidence remained, more especially as only that morning he had received a let ter from Mary Furnival, thanking him for his kindness 10 her. and telling him that she was leaving the fiat and going to live with friends.
 don't suppose we shall ever meet again." she wrote. But shall never forget you. and how kind you were to me when I was in such trouble. ."
 CHAPTER NX.
 A Discovery
 Young Evans did not like that tone Of finality that seemed to breathe through the whole of the short let ter: he did not at all sec why they could not meet again.
 He wondered what friends she had gone to. and if she would be happy. He wondered for whom she had been wearing mourning when he met her that night the Multane was lost. He had noticed that she wore no we'd ding ring, or engagement ring, and had been vaguely pleased.
 She might have seen him again. 1T only for a moment: she might have given him some address 10 which to write. He wondered if she would mind were he 10 ask for one--if she would be angry were he to call and say farewell in person.
 He had no appetite for tea: hp scrambled through the meal hurried ly, with one eye on the clock.
 She had said she was leaving" the fat. not that she had left"
