WILSON'S CABINET BRYAN WILL BE THE NEW SECRE TARY OF STATE. OTHER PLACES FILLED William Jennings Bryan, Josephus Daniels, William G. McAdoo an.l A. 8. Burleson Definitely Decided Up on for Cabinet Places, According to High Congressional Authority. It was Btated Tuesday night at Washington in high Congressional quarters closevy identified with the incoming adn.inlstration of Presdont WiUon, that the following Cabinet appointments had been determined upon definitely: Secretary of State, William J. Bry an of Nebraska. Secretary of the Treasury, William Burleson of Texas. Secretary of the Navy, Joscphus Daniels, of North Carolina. The foregoing names and positions are said to liavo advanced entirely beyond the state of conjectures of gossip and become finalities in the forthcoming Cabinet list. Other places in the Cabinet rro said to be reasonably settled with the excep tion of the portfolllos of war and ag riculture. The name of Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, which has Oeen prominently mentioned in connection with the Attorney Generalship now I s definitely eliminated. It appears that a Cabinet position was tendered to Mr. Palmer and docllned the ex pectation being that ho would remain, in the IIouso of Representatives to bo in a Bense the personal represent ative of Mr. Wilson on tho Important legislation about to bo formulated. This plan was carried into partial ex ecution lato Tuesday, when tho an nouncement of Representative Burle son that ho would resign tho position of chairman of the Democratic House caucus at an early date was coupled with tho announcement by House leaders that Mr. Palmer wou'd suc ceed Mr. Burleson as chairman of the caucus. Other names which have been prominently mentioned for tho At torney Generalship, but which now aro definitely eliminated from this or other Cabinet positions, are Chancel lor Walker, of New Jersey, and Rep resentative Henry of Texas. Chan cellor Walker was highly regarded and it is probably duo to his own wishes that his name Is no longer considered. Tho determination of Representative Burleson, of Texas, for tho Postmaster Generallshlp had the neutral effect of eliminating Mr. Henry's name from further consider ation, he also being from Texas. Information from certain sources gave assurance that Col. George W. Goethals, chief engineer and chair man of the Panama Canal commis sion, Is under consideration for Sec retary of War. Some close friends of tho incoming administration have felt that a law yer should bo chosen as head of tlu war department in view of the legal questions involved relating to the Panama Canal, the Philippines and other important matters, and they point to the line of lawyers who hav3 headed the department, such as Root, Taft, Dickinson and Stlmson. Col. Goethals' familiarity with the Pan ama Canal, it Is declared, however, has given him prominence in consid eration for this portfolio. Mr. McAdoo in the recent cam paign was a prominent figure and was in charge of the Democratic forces much of the tlmo during the illness of National Chairman Mr Combs. Ho haB been associated with some of the foremost business opera tions In American history. Including the building of the so-called Mc Vdoo tunnels under tho HudBon River In Now York. Josophus Daniels, Raleigh, N. C., has long been Democratic national committeeman from nls Stare. Ho is the editor of the Raleigh Nows and Observer. In tho last Cleveland ad ministration Mr. Danl9ls was In Washington as chief dsrk and ap pointment clerk of tho interior de partment undor Secretary Hoke Smith, now Senator from Georgia. Representative Burleson, of A us- | tin, Tex., has servod nearly 1 "? years In Congress, having first been olect od to the 66th Congress, And ho was re-eloctod to tho 63rd Congress Inst fall. He was ono of tho staunch sup porters of Governor Wilson In the House of Representatives from the beginning of the pro-convention ?inn test last, spring and took a pro.nl nent part In tho election catnon'gr. In Congress his ohlof work hns been am a member of tho appropriations committoo. I THEY HAD A TOUGH TIME. Tho Terrlblo Experience of Throe Men In (l?o Ieo Iloglona.

One man, aent back for more supplies, lost hia way and w&h rescued by Indiana whon nearly dead. The mind of one of tho two remain ing, a Swede named Llndemann, be came affected and In his deslro for warmth, he jumod Into a camp fire. Kedmond, hln companion, pulled him out, but he died.

I Ho Is One of the lk'?t Men In the State aiul Would Make a Model .Governor, Tho representative of the News and Courier at Sumter having heard of^ Air. R. I. Mannings prospective candidacy for the Governorship, in terviewed him Tuesday morning, and received from him the following statement: "Yes, 1 have decided to announce my caudklacy. 1 reached the con clusion several months ago, that I would run for tho Governorship; but I did not wish to be premature in my announcement. "Since, however, several have al ready announced their candidacy, and I fear that my further silence may be misunderstood and may em barrasB my friends, I have decided that I shall let it bo authoritatively and definitely understood, that I shall run." Mr. Manning Is too we!J-known to need any introduction to the people of South Carolina. Ho Is one of ihe beBt men in tho State, and would make a model Governor.

With the killing of Madero and Sauroz, tho deposed headB of the Mexican Republic, in Mexico City, tho death of those who have paid the fa tal price for ruling in Mexico is in creased to seven names. Just a lit tle more than a century ago Michael Midalgo y Costilla, tho parish priest of Dolores, arose an the "liberator" of Mexico and clutched control from tho feeble hands of tho Spanish vice roy. An obscure country priest, Hidalgo conspired with lUs own parlrh in the State of Guanajuato, In 1S10, and In the fall of that year, when he rang the bell of the church to call the peo ple to war, an army of 5,000 rallied to his standard. He pressed on to ward Mexico City with his constantly increasing numbers until ho had a following of 100,000 patriotic, but undisciplined, men. A force of only 0,00 0 veteran sol diers of Spain delivered a crushing defeat in January, 1S11, and drove Hidalgo to tho mountains, where he waged guerilla warfare until ho was caught and shot in July, 1811. The list of rulers of Mexico which have "listened last to the rifle's speech" thus opened is as follows: Michael y Costilla, "liberator," 1811. Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon, Pres ident, 1 8ir>. Francisco Xavier Mlna, President, 1817. Augustin do Iturblde, Emperor, 1824. Maximilian, Archduke of Austria, Emperor, 1867. Francisco I. Madcro, Pretddent, 1913.

Part L There was trouble in the office of Peck & Morgan, makers of the Peck Motor Car ? "the kin* of the auto mobile world," to Quote from the Inch advertisements written by Mr. Peck. Mr. Peck was glaring at tke youthful Mr. Morgan, and 'Mr. Mor gan was looking, in resentful gloom, at the red-faced, white-whiskered Mr. Peck. "No, sir! I don't put another cent Into this blamed business," snapped Mr. Peck. "Who wants our automo bile? Nobody. We lose money ev ery day wo pretend to keep on mak ing 'em. A little later we'll be bank rupt; I won't have the diBgrace of bankruptcy against my good name. I'm for selling the business now ? or giving it away." "It's easy for you to talk about giving it away ? you with your mil lions to fall back on," said (Morgan, bitterly. "If I put any more in, as you want me to, I wouldn't have 'em to fall back on," retorted Mr. Peck. "You'd have a few more if you'd spend fifty or a hundred thousand "Oh, cut it out! I'm tired of that. Haven't I been telling ybu since we started up two years ago, show me results and I'd come up with more money." "And haven't I been telling you." Morgan returned sharply, "come up with more money and I'd show you results?" Mr. Peck glared, but thought si lence the best expression of his con tempt. Together the last sentence of each defined the great difference be tween the partners ? the difference that during the two years had galled and restrained Morgan's enterprise like a sharp and tight-drawn bit ? the difference that now brought the partners to the verge of quarrel. 'Mr. Pock was the .business product of a past business generation; even when making his millions out of the Peck Sewing Machine he had never ventur ed ? had never led his business, had always followed It. Four years be fore. after two bad years, which ho read as a warning of ruin, he had craftily sold out his business and Its coining failure to a Mr. Tucker, am it was the great seoret bitterness of his life that Mr. Tucker was making money faster than he had ever done. Two years of stupid leisure had made him eager for the old recreation of business; so when young Mr. Mor gan, a mechanical engineer of repu tation, had come to him with a pat ent sparking device and a proposition for putting a new automobile on tlie market, ho had invested his old bufc iuess rules and about half enough capital In the new enterprise, keep ing a throttle hold on tho venture by reserving to himself flfty-one per cent, of the stock. Morgan mastered his rising anger. Mr. Peck, through his money, could turn failure into success; and, fur thermore, Mr. Peck was tho father o' Peck. "We still have a chance to make the car a success if we play the chance right," he resumed, as calm as his double reason for calm ness could make him. "The car is a good one, and deserves to succeed; that much is true." "Oh, I don't know. We thought it was a good car. But if a thing is good it's bound to succeed of its own accord; everybody wants It; you can't make it fail." "I ,beg your pardon, a good thing does not succeed Just t>$cauBo it's good. You've got to convince peo ple that it's good ? the beBt there Is, if you can; got to get it on the pub lic tongue and In the public eye and keep it there. Then it'll Bucceed." "At It again!" sniffed Mr. Pec*. iMorgan's face flushed, but ho went or composedly: "Now, If wo could make some big splurge ? could pull off some big advertising scheme "Advortiuing! Rot! " "Advertising la what made Tuck Mr, deck's face darkened, but he dated not retort. That waB the worBt of his bitterness ovor Tucker's suc cess ? It had to he restrained In fear of the world's laughs. Ho was Bllent a moment, then Bald, In his sneering voice: "Leading up again to that American Cup Race, I see." "I am; and why not? There's not a swifter and more reliable touring car made In this country than our fifty horse-power. A racing car em bodying Its good points, I bet, would hold its own with the best of them. Tf the Peck car won the cup, or got second or third place, we'd suddenly ho Bomebody, and orders would pour In on us. If you'd put up twenty thousand for this " Mr. Peck uproflo, snorting: "Shut up; I'm tired of that. And let mo hand you somo Information. Young man, you're a business Idiot!" Morgan Baw that hln chance N"as gone; his wrath broke its restraints. "And permit mo to remark, my dear ?ir, that you are a business corpse!" Mr. Pock gasped. All his life ho had bullied his business associates and never before had one bullied him back. "What's that! What's that!" Ho smashed his pudgy (1st down on his desk. "Ry Qod, we'll seo who's the live member of this firm! I got out to-day, and wo'll seo how long you'll keep alive!" "If you'd done that long ago!" Mr. Peek sputtered. Words he could not utter. Morgan's anger had risen to rock loss defiance. "Why don't you soil your stock to me?" he taunted. "I'll build that racing ear, win, and show you what a live business Is." "Roll It to you! You hnvon't got a dollar to pay for It with!" "I'll give you a note; If thoro's nothing else to pay with, I can Bell my patent." Mr. Peck's dark look turned to a snarling, cunning grin. "It's yours! If I sold to anybody else, ho might bring In some capital and some brains, and you might succeed. Run ning it alone' you'll bust. Lord, but I'll be glad to see that! A business corpse, am I? Wo'll soe! It's worth loss than nothing, but you can have It for five hundred, a thousand, two thousand, whatever you please!" "Two thousand, then," said Mor gan. He touched a button and Im mediately a stenographer appeared, Mr. Peck looked on glowering while consideration being a note for two thousand dollars. Perhaps tif> was not wholly pleased; perbap^ for all blB bluster, he had not expected to be snapped up In this wl?e. Out he grimly, signed the document when It prcsoQt^d to him, And grimly ! ?lipped Morgan a note into hla wallet. I He rose and put on his hat. "I had thought of going on s vacation," he said, cuttingly, "but I guess I'll stay here bo's to be handy for your funeral," Morgan did not retort; he had re gained his Belf-control. "One fact, of course, you under stand, " Mr. Peck went on, "you've been seeing a lot of MIbs Peck. Well, no daughter of mine Is going to have anything to do with a fool and a fail ure. You set that down!" Morgan preserved a show of Indif ference, but there was sudden con sternation within. In the outburst of wrath against the father he had completely forgotten the daughter. At the door Mr. Peck lifted his hat with mock courtesy. "Don't for get to send me an announcement of the funeral,'! he said; and with a bow and a sneer, he went out. "W hen Morgan had declared to Mr. Peck that he was going to build a racer he had Bpoken out of the brav ada of the moment; but as he sat at his desl^looklng his new situation over, his cool reason told him that to try for the American Cup was his only chance of snatching success from failure. He considered his re sources for such an effort; "if he were to mortgage to its limit the factory equipment (the building was a rent ed one), and borrow and beg dollars wherever dollars could be begged and borrowed, he could keep up the appearance of running the factory for three months longer and could build a car for the race. The odds against success were heavy. But Morgan was the sort that fights to the last hope, and past It. He would take the chance. All the while that Morgan was studying this side and that of his slender business chnnce, part of his mind wns engaged upon hla chance in a very different enterprise. By the end of the afternoon it was the sec ond alone that he was considering. He knew that Mr. Peck would toll", doubtless had told, his daughter of the quarrel, and that the account would be a story of favor and for bearance on one side, and insult and ingratitude on the other. If ho want ed Miss Peck to continue thinking of him the way he hoped she was beginning to think, ho must clear himself in her eyes, and the 6ooner he did this the better for her thoughts of him. So, with Inward trembling at his daring, he called her up J u st before leaving the office and asked if he might see her that even ing. The voice that came to him over the wire was chilly, very chilly: "i have an engagement." Morgan was dumb for several sec onds "To-morrow evening, then?" "I shall be busy then, too." He filled with a dlezy sickness. Her excuse was aB plain In its mean ing as plain words would have been. Dut ho wanted the plain wordB. "Then you don't want to see me?" There was a brief silence. "I don't think bo," said the chilly voice. Morgan hung up the receiver. His pride would not let him beg for an Interview. The following two days Morgan spent in New York. He returned with fifteen thousand dollars, and with his honor pawned to his friends and with the next five years of his life te the msney-lenders. When he enter ed the office, there was Mr. Peck at his desk. Morgan gave his old part ner a cold look, but said not a word. "Just came down to see about my mail," Mr. Peck muttered, somewhat abashed, but gruffly. Morgan did not answer. He wrote a check for five hundred dollars, the amount of the entrance foe to the Cup Race, and dictated a letter to the Cup Race Commission. When the stenographer had gone out Mr. Peck scowled over at Mor gan. "So you're going In for that fool race," he sneered. "It seems so," Morgan said quiet ly. He went to a closet and web soon In greasy overalls and Jumpor. "Where'd yo.j get that money?" demanded Mr. Peck, as Mftrgan mov ed toward the door loading Into the factory. "That, sir, I believe Is none of your business." Mr. Peck's face reddened. "D'you think I'd gell out for a measly two thousand, and that two thousand a note that ain't worth a postage stamp?" "1 don't think anything about It ? ? I know you did." "And Morgan walk ed Into the factory. That day the building of the racer began. The big race was at the end of Soptember; this wa? the end of June ? three months In which to build the machine, tune it up and be come its mastor. The frame and many othor parts of their fifty horse power touring car could be used; but tho engine ? Morgan had decided It should bo ninety ho?se-power ? had to be made entirely new, and like wise all the ports of the driving goar. There was work a-plenty for the half dozen most skillful men ho had se lected to help him, for every part had to bo made with Infinite caro, tested with infinite caro, and fitted to Its place with tho infinite care of a sur geon working in tho brain. For all the hoartacho In him, Morgan enjoy ed thoso days of tho car's growing. It was a long untasted pleasure to work In freedom of the domineering methods of Mr. Peck ?though that gentleman continued coming to the factory dally. Morgan's Joy was the croatlvo Joy of the artist. Tho car on which he labored every day and far Into oach night was morn than a piece of mechanism that might savo him from ruin. It was the child of his brain and skill- ? tho masterpiece of his talent, Hy tho first of September It was done? a long, squat, dingy oroaturo, whose Iran linns suggested tho ath lete trained to supremest, fitness. At the vory break of each morning Mor gan wns on the roads a)>out Milford, tostlng bis ornatlon. His mechanic, Jack Henderson, tho best workman in tho Peck Rr. Morgan shop, though hardly inoro than a "boy, was equally enthusiastic. "We'll mako 'em hump," he said. Three days later they were settled in their garage, with enough spare parts to build another machine, and with two weeks before them In which tc become acquainted with ilfe course. At the drawing to fl* the or der In which the twenty contesting machines wore to etart. In 'the race, nineteenth place fell to Morgan, ahfl nineteen -was painted on the front, sides and back of h!s car in white figures two feet high. The first morning he had tho racer out for practice he was content to take things easy around tho thirty-mile course, which on the day of the race had to be circled ten times; but the second morning he lot her out on the last round, with Henderson keeping time. "Thirty-three minutes," Jack announced as tho car flashed past the grand stand on the finish. "That's going some!" "8ome," agreed Morgan, "but, man!? when she really goes!" It was the day of the race. While the heaven was still lighted only by the stars the roadB leading to the course were processioned by thou sands of glare-eyed touring cars, and the New York trains were adding tens of thousands to those who had Bpent tho night In houses, barns, tents and the open fields along the way. When the first trace of dawn, a faint, gray mistiness in the east, came at half-paBt four, tno course, wonted thus early to bo without a bouI save peril-- s for a market gar dener or two Jogging sleepily town ward, was crowded liko a groat city artery at the hour of homo-coming. Half an hour later, when the mist was faintly reddening Into a promise of the sun, the course was thirty miles of bustle, of suspense. Five o'clock found Morgan's and the nineteen other racing machines In a waiting line before the grand stand. A sense of solitariness crcpt upon Morgan. Each car's manufac turer Btood beBido his machine talk ing to Its driver and giving him en couraging pats on the back, and frlende were coming up to shako tho driver's hand and wish him victory, and here and there handkercl: efs were being wavod from tho grand Btand. Morgan gave a quick, hun gry glance at this great inclined plane of humanity, then returned his eyes to their former straight-ahead gaze; ho had expected no friend, and ho had Been no friend. Few persons had ever hoard of the "king of the automobile world", and the few had wondered at Its maker's temerity in entering it in any race at all, let alone such a race as this. "We don't seem to be exactly the favorite, do we Jack?'' Morgan said drily. "I guess there ain't many in this bunch bettin' even money we'll win." "No; about a million to one is the odds." Morgan's left hand came from the wheel and gray ed Jack's arm. "But we've got to* win, anyhow!" he Bald fiercely. "Understand:" "We'll win ? If she only sticks to gether," Jack assured him, grimly; "for, oh Lord, she's got speed to give away!" Thero was a stir anjong the group of officials at the head of the line of machines! half-past five, the hour of start the race. "Clear the course!" rang out an order. It was taken up by hundreds of voices and moveo down the trdcTr+n^ great billow of sound, and' tho crowd which had blackened the road parted, leaving between a brown ribbon of oiled earth, Tho next minute the engine of car No. 1 began booming, and spitting from both aides of its bonnet darts of blue flames. Tho starters counted off the seconds, and at "Go!" the car lunged forward, A great cheer rose from tho grand stand, and kept pace with the car as It whizzed between the linos of bordering thou sands. The first fifteen cars, cheer-follow ed, had gone flying at minute Inter vals toward the flushing east, when Jack suddenly seized Morgan's arm. "Somebody wantB you," ho aald, and nodded toward a box In the grand Btand. In the box, one In the lowest tlor, Morgan saw a girl In a long tan coat. She smiled and a gloved hand beck oned to him. Instantly ho was out of the car and beneath the box, touching his begogglod leathern skullcap that was tied beneath his chin. She leaned down over tho railing till her head was on a level with his, In ordor that her voice might bo heard abovo the terrific fuslllado No. 16 had Just begun. "So you were not going to spoak to a friend?"' slio demanded. "A friend? ' ho said, dizzily, touch ing his cap to her aunt apd undo in the roar of the box. "I rttnn't Xno-T jou wore hero. And I didn't know you were mv friend." "Not your frlond?" Her eyebrows arched with surprise. "Though 1 supposo 1 shouldn't bo, after tho way you've treated me." ' The way I've treated you!" g.i8'j e.l Morgan, as No. 16 roared awav "Yes." Hor face becamo iwvoro. "Think of how you served mo on '.ho te!ophone. I hold tho receiver t'.il my arm ached, calling to you, walt g for you to say something more - hut you'd cut me off. And then you haven't come nenr mo for thrao months.' He could only stammer and stare. A dazzling smile drovo the severi ty from hor face. "Hut boo how I have forgiven you. I've stayed up all night and como hero Just to bc? you win." "You want mo to win?" he cried. "Yes," she said, and her face grow very steady and she hold out a little gloved hand. He showed hU grimy palm and shook his head. Hho loan ed further over and tho littlo hand slipped Into tho pa-lm. He gripped it tightly. The hand withdraw, foil upon bis shoulder, and gave lili* a liKht push. "You must go: your mechanician is getting frantic." Morgan touched His cap end sprang to his seat Just as N'o. 17 shot across the tape.
