 Hello, Chris! Have you been here long?' s Another girl taller, looking old CT. appeared in the doorway to the alcove. Her dark hair, smooth and glossy, was drawn back from her face. She had dark eyes. arched brows and a clear complex | ion. The dress she wore was black. unrelieved by color except for scarlet and white beads about her throat. Chris Saunders, lack ing prettiness. had an air or ois- tinction She possessed what the garment trade calls style.

Somewhere man shouted. Others who turned to look swore , abruptly. There was the grueling noise of hastily released brakes. The street which a moment before had been a smooth flowing artery of traffic was suddenly disorgan- ized chaotic.
 The girl in gray stood quite still. Her face was very white now. A feminine voice in the little knot of spectators that had gathered on the sidewalk cried hysterically, He's got it! Look-he's got it!"
 Az quickly as that the tension snapped. The watchers saw the young man stoop and pick up a tiny, bedraggled bundle that whimpered and wriggled.

been a staunch Republican all his life,
but only once before has he held politi-
cal office, and that was long time ago,
under a Democratic administration.
mere boy, just out of Harvard, Mr.
O'Brien was appointed "stenographer

after Cleveland had been nominated for
a second term.
Holding a strategic position In a
Democratic administration, toward which
conservative Eastern interests were by

He edited Cleveland's speech of &C

O'Brien, "in that part of the speech
which dealt with the Homestead labor
troubles. AS I read the draft, l turned
to Mr.. Cleveland and said, Why don't
you insert the word high; make it
read, Scenes are enacted In the very
abiding place of high protection which

You can imagine how proud I felt
as I heard the President read his
speech with the word high inserted.
I think that was the first time I had
any connection with the subject of a
protective tariff"
