'Newton Stuart was a news paper correspondent—nobody knew how old, but the dean of the press gallery, beloved and undisputed.

Finally a letter from Mrs. Ilarbine came ffom Cincinnati an iiounclng that Did; had broke loose there on a wild debauch that threat ened to end disastrously for the young man himself and for the fair name of tils father’s family.) Senator HprbineA'indrd the letter to '• ‘ -.- } "Newt, you like my boy. I know,” he growled. “He thinks more o’ you than be does o’ his own father. If you’ll mn down to Cincinnati and stop him.

Newt. 1 know you never cared for money. 3 you have no family, hut if you’il stop this Cincinnati jag o’ Dick’s I'll give you a house and lot or-or—anything you want.” Newt started for Cincinnati that night. Nobody ever knew just what he said or did to Dick Carbine, but in a week they came back. Newt silent and satisfied and the senator's soil pale, repentant and following old Newt around like a whipped dog. Old Ur,r bine actually grew younger and gayer as the days grew into weeks and the weeks into mouths and hia boy showed no s! « ns of " relapse. “ Xi y Jehosaphut.

You’re poor, Newt., and you're getting old— don’t deny it—you’ll have to quit this blessed newspaper business pretty soon, and I'll bet yon haven’t saved a hundred dollars. Come, Newt, be fair with me. Let me loan you at least a few thousand? Eh? Or say, better yet, take that house and lot up in N street. X don’t want it, and it’ll uet you two thousand per. What d’you say?” But Newt would only abuse oM TIar. bine for his pains and turn the talk into a string of “joshing. ’ The soak to. however, was so serious in his deter¬ mination to do something for Newt that the dispute between them grew acute and almost bitter. Newt was getting old. Nobody knew whether lie had saved anything, but everybody kneiv that the time for his retirement was at hand. As months went by and old Harbine’s solicitude about reward iug him waxed more earnest and per sistent poor Newt's powers of resist¬ ance began to wane. The senator saw it and was glad. The two old friends became inseparable. Terrapin suppers and bouts with Innumerable mint juleps became continuous. Spring was merging into summer when the old correspondent yielded finally to the tempter. “Senator,” began Newt one night . as they sat cn the hotel balcony, “I’ve made up my mind to take that reward you insist on giving me. “God bless you. old man,” chuckled Harbltse, tinkling the ice In his big glass: “I’m not going half way about it el ther,” resumed Stuart, looking up with aD evident effort to muster his courage. ‘Tin going to hit you hard.
