ings by letter to his sweetheart
Fifteen weeks waiting, and then billet
doux from Paris, telling of her gay life sight
seeing, shopping and the opera Other letters
followed shorter, and with decreasing signs of
homesickness and sadness At last, one came
from London, where Mr.. Adam had been ap-
pointed Minister to st. James. Royal Tyler,
despondent and unable to carry on his busi-
ness, retired to his mothers home to look
after her interests His days were spent wait
ing for news from across the water. His worst
forebodings were verified. Through letter
from Charles Storer, member Of the Ameri-
can embassy in England, Tyler learned Of the
presence Of a rival admirer Col Smith, secre-
tary Of the legation, who was paying devotion
to the lovely little Miss sAdams. Royal Tyler
knew of Col. Smith as one of Gen. Washing
tons aides, who had won his chiefs affec-
tionate confidence
Bitterly, the forSaken lover ruminated upon
the unequal chance of fortune that granted
favors regardless of merit, and placed one man
above another through adventitious circum-
stance In this scmbre mood Royal Tyler re-
ceived from the hand of Charles Storer the
package containing the miniature of himself
that Abby had taken with her together with
his love letters. He read the superscription:
Letters of Mr.. Royal Tyler to A. A. Re-
turned by the hand Of Mr.. Storer. He read
her brief note
and miniature, with my desire that you
would return mine to my Uncle Cranch
and my hopes that you are well satisfied
with the affair as is. A. A."
Could it be that Abby Adams had written
these hard, cutting words? Yes, there they
were In her own handwriting. He then heard
from his friend the account of his last inter
view in the American Minister'S drawing room
on Grosvenor square, the eve Of his sailing for
Boston, when the daughter came in with dis
traught yet determined composure, and placed
her rejected lovers letters in the hands of
the bearer. The mother watched the scene
with sorrowful eyes. ABBY, my dear child.

And the young lady replied coldly, Madame,
I have well considered and am determined"
She then left the room. Mrs. Adams gave
her last commission and Mr. Storer made his
adieu Royal Tyler listened to the recital

was apparently secure-Abby loved him and
Mrs. Adams was still friendly When cut Of
clear sky came instructions from Minister
Adams for the wife and daughter to close the
Braintree home and join him for an indefinite
period in Europe.
Royal Tyler was advised Of the news. He
begged that he and Abby might not be
separated until the ceremony had made them
man and wife. Mrs. Adams said that could
not be, though she would try to arrange for
him to join them abroad, where the marriage
might take place She appealed to the honor
of the young man, and wrote him letter In
which she begged that he help Abby to solve
wisely her problem. Was Abby willing to see
her mother depart without her daughter? The
young girl was in Boston at the time, and
answered her mothers query.

ton whether I would consent to your leav-

New Ycrk.-There are many people who will earnestly wish John P. O'BrIen, mayor-eiect of the nations biggest city, a~llappy new year. But there are few in- deed who actually expect him to have one.
 For with advocates of munici- pal reform battering at the f0un- dations of New York city's com- plieated and wasteful government with other. reformers hot on the trail of a sorely-pressed Tammany Tiger-with bankers looking as- kance at a gigantic city debt total genial Judge O'Brien is in what is generally known as a tough
 Unprecedented Problems
 Under ordinary circumstances the mayoraIty of New York city is frequentiy declared to be the third biggest public executive job lin the United States, exceeded in responsibility only by the presi- dency and the governorship of New York state. Whether or not thak is true, there is no doubt but that Mayor-elect O'Brien will face an unprecedented number of try ing problems when he takes office January 3. Some of these prob lenls are:
 n. A public debt of s2,5oO, oo0,- 900, with annual interest of $200,- OO0, ,OOO. A 1888 city budget of $556, ,555. .993.9s--and few ideas about where all the money for in- terest and running expenses is coming from.
 2. A budget reduction of $4o.- O0O--demanded by bankers. by Acting Mayor Joseph V. Mckee, and pledged by O'Brien himself.
 3. The task of perpetuating. 50 far as possible. economies which have been made in 1882 under Me- Kee, successor of the resigned James J. Walker.
 4. The possibility of revision of the city chatter by the state iegis- lature. The charter proposed by Samuel Seabury. counsel for the legislative committee which ii1s just concluded long investigation into the city's affairs, doubtless would end the political reign of Tammany Hall if 1t were to be adopted.
 5. Recommendations of O'Brien's own charter revision committee, in opposition to Seabury's proposals. O'Bricn is product and powerful supporter of the Tammany nia- chine; yet he is expected to sug-

The new mayor, John P. O'Brien, never before has been an important political figure so far as the public was concerned. But he has been in the employ of the city for 32 years. The son of an im- migrant from Tipperary. he work ed his way through Holy Cross college and Georgetown university law school. and began his legal practice in New York in 1897. From 1901 to 1920 he served as assistant corporation counsel for the city. when he was appointed chief counsel and, as he is fond of recalling, head of "the greatest law office in the world"
 Under Mayor Hylan, he was said to be the liason man between Tam many Hall and City Hall. In 1922 he was elected Surrogate of New York county, and decided many important will cases. Tammany leaders have mentioned him at various times as a potential can- didate for mayor.
 O'Brien-of massive build and bulldog jaw--likes to talk about "a kiddie in every home" and "a school desk for every little kiddie" in his public addresses. Address ing Greco-American society one day, he explained that he was in close sympathy with the people of Grecian blood because = we delved deeply into the classics when I went to school, and have a few medals at home that won for translations of Horace"
 O'Brien is prominent Catholic layman, and has divided his inter- ests between politics, the law. and religious affairs. He is proud of his Irish blood, but political ex- pediency has forced him to become rather cosmopolitan. In New York's Chinatown he is known as Ole Bo Lon. which means Saint Chrysanthemum."

will have to go up.
 The economies already effected are claimed to amount to $73,500,- 900, but approximately $53,000,O00 of that amount represented only a deferment of debt. The city had to borrow $100,0O0, ,000---and did it with great difficulty = to meet its year-end obligations of 1882. That loan, with $2,050,000 interest, is supposed to be retpaid by next May l.
 Acting Mayor Mckee will auto matically resume his old job as president of the Board of Alder men when O'Brien takes office. At present, Mckee is the white hope of the fusion movement in New York, but 1t is widely runored that he will go to Washington in- stead, with an appointment in the Roosevelt administration.
