I A FRIEND I

OF THE
i j family, j

"Hullo, Georgie, what's up? You
look pretty sick. Another?" Walter
Crane chuckled lightly as he regarded
the gloomy-looking young man he had
just met
Georgie Carter looked at him disgustedly
for half a minute.
His reply was short if not proverbially
sweet. "Get out" be said, as,
slowly as before, he resumed his walk
down the Buckingham Palace road.
Mr. Crane looked after him quizzically.
"Bet it's a girl," he said softly, and
then he too went his way.
It was a girl, or, as Georgie would
have told him, it was the only girl.
And they had just been parted for a
whole year by over-anxious, interfering
parents. A whole year, with nothing
in the world to look forward to
N but one letter a month.
"Twelve?only tweive in the whole
year," Georgie had groaned, even
after Mabel had faithfully promised to
begin her letter on the first day of the
month, write it like a diary and dispatch
by the very last post on the
very last day, so that he should really
have a moderately fair idea of what
she was doing. Even this had not
consoled him, and, sick at heart he
* left her and took his way to Victoria
station, there to catch his train home.
But as he entered the yard a cheery
voice greeted him.
"Georgie," it cried, "are you cutting
me?"
"Oh, Mrs. Frank, I never saw you,"
he said listlessly.
The young-faced, snow-white-haired,
well-preserved looking woman glanced
sharply at him.
"What's the matter, Georgie?" she
>,.* ; asked, a kindly note in her voice.
He looked still listlessly away from
her over the station yard.
"Nothing," he said, and then sud^Qnitr
with Riiph a rush of feeling in
his eyes that she wondered with half
a shock If it were tears. *
"Oh, Mrs. Frank, I've Just said goodby
to Mabel, and?and?and I am going
home," he ended bitterly.
H' "My dear boy! I am so sorry. I
didn't know. What is it? There?don't
go home?tell me all about it?come
and dine with me Instead." * *
* * "And she was so kind,"
wrote Georgie in his dairy-like letter
that night "I told her all about you.
"fou must have met her, Mabel, darling.
Don't you remember a woman
with snow-white hair?a friend of the
family."
They were charming flats, and Mrs.
Frank's was perhaps the nicest in the
.whole block. Possibly because she
had a large veranda, beautifully fitted
up, where coffee and liqueurs were
served every night after dinner.
It was just six months since that
bitter parting between Mabel and
Georgie. Time was beginning to have
^ . a soothing effect on Mabel, though her
a letters were still faithfuily dairy-like.
Georgie, it would seem, felt the parting
as deeply as ever. He still needed
consolation, and he received it, with
coffee and liqueurs, from a friend of
his family at least three times a week.
(She had been very kind, very good,
very patient. She had listened to
Georgie's ravings, and agreed, with
him on every point anent the perfections
of his fair one, and she was
gaining her reward. This nice young
fellow whom she had truly tried to
help, began to show that she had really
done him good. That he saw the
wisdom of not worrying, but loving
silently on, waiting patiently for the
end of that long year which, of course,
'was bound to come.
|jp And now he could really talk of
other things besides his own sad feel\
ings and the marvellous perfections of
\ Mabel. He seemed to take an Interest,
\ for instance, in generalities about
\women. He no longer held up Mabel
as, a type or used her always as an
exainple. He could speak quite generally.
even if sometimes it was a
little vfc^uely, about the fair sex; and
no more,\as at first, did he forget his
simple duties in the matter of fleers
and theatre tickets for the friend of
his family who so often played his
hostess. In fact*, he grew more normal,
and Mrs. Frank felt she had only
done her duty when .she had tried to
console and help such a very nice boy.
For there was no doubt about it,
Georgie was a very nice boy. And a
presentable, withal. Moreover, he had
all those little charms which never
fail to appeal to women of any age.
In his manner to them there was that
air of reverence which comes only
from the heart of a very good or the
head of a very bad man. In Georgie's
case there, of course, was no question
which. Mrs. Frank had more than
once caught herself wondering if, had
... she a son?but somehow, when the
wonder reached that point it failed
for want of interest. That Georgie's
mother had brought him up very nicely,
there was no denying. And he
made a charming cavalier. Every desirable
touch of polish, mingled with
I plenty of savoir faire. that yet had
nothing blase or self-opinionated about
J it. Really, sometimes, too, she half
I wondered if Mabel were quite?quite?
* * *
The veranda was empty save for its
owner. She was having tea quite alone,
and was reading. Suddenly the curtain
into the long room behind was
thrust back, and an excited, eager boy
entered.
i "Mrs. Frank, Mrs. Frank," he cried,
failing to greet her. "Oh, what do
you think? You will be so glad, I
know. You have been so good. Mabel?"
;virs. r raiiK. uau ustcucu ov mi
silently. Now she interrupted him.
There was a touch of impatience, almost
sharpness, in her voice. It was
no doubt irritating to be interrupted
in the middle of a truly reasonable
article, one might almost say treatise,
on the very latest method of removing
wrinkles.
"My dear boy," she said, "sit down.
Have some tea. And now," as he
seated himself, gazing eagerly at her,
"now," smilingly, "let us hear all
about it."
"It's all right," he said, comprehensively.
"All right? What is all right?"
"Mabel?me?" ungrammatically.
Mrs. Frank had a strange sensation.
It was nothing very much. She just
felt as if the light had gone out suddenly.
For a moment she was silent.
Then she mechanically and sharply
drew back the curtain that had until
then shaded her from the June sun.
It blazed in and showed?showed with
what wisdom she chose her literature.
But Georgie had prevented her finishing
that treatise.
"How lovely," she said at last, quite
slowly.
"Oh, I knew you wouia oe giaa,the
boy cried, and he suddenly dropped
on one knee beside her, and taking up
her hand, very gently put it to his
lips.
"Mrs. Frank, you have been awfully
kind," he said, and his eyes filled
again with a look of feeling that took
her back to the station yard at Victoria.
"Was that only six months
ago?" she wondered.
Presently he went, leaving her with
a paean of Mabel ringing in her ears.
She left the veranda, walked through
the long drawning room into her bedroom
behind. Up to the glass she
went Great tears were falling down
her face. They riddled the pretty pink
of her cheeks that looked so fair and
faint against the snow-white hair.
She put both hands up to her eyes,
and the tears dropped through her
fingers.
"Fool?fool?old fool!" she cried
pitifully through them.
And then suddenly age brought its
own consolation. The hands dropped
down, the tears seemed to dry like
magic, and she leaned forward, looking
almost horror struck, into the
glass before her.
"Fool, indeed," she said bitterly.
TIhe next instant she was hailing a
cab. Once inside she raised the trap

KING CORN IS THE LEADER.
Monarch of the West Shows His Power
for Good.
Corn is king by a good safe majority
in this country, according to the final
report of the Bureau of Statistics of
the department of agriculture. Not
only was the 1904 crop of such vast
proportions that it has been exceeded
but twice, but the high prices at
which it was marketed made a new
record for its aggregate value. The
record corn crop of the country was
produced in 1899, when the official returns
credited a total of 2,666,440",000
bushels. In 1902 the government placed
the figures at 2,523,648,000 bushels.
Last year the agricultural department
figures show a yield of 2,467,480,000
bushels, but on account of the increase
in prices its market value was $70,000,000
greater than the crop of 1902,
which "until that year had held th#
record for value.
The returns of the department on
the 1904 wheat crop show a marketable
value greater than for 1901, although
the crop is nearly 200,000.000
bushels less than for that* record year.
In this respect there is far less cause
for congratulation than there is over
the excellent showing made by the corn
crop. The dimensions of the yield of
the coarser cereal were so far above
the average that in supplying business
for transportation companies, warehousemen,
and numerous other industries
dependent on the grain trade,
much of the loss through a poor wheat
crop was equalized. In the case of
wheat the abnormally high price was
not an unqualified blessing. While the
gross returns which were divided
among the farmers and speculators
were several million aonars greatei
than ever before, a much smaller proportion
of the population of the country
was benefited by these prices
than was the case with corn. The
shortage made heavy inroads on the
profits of some of the roads traversing
the American wheat belt, and capital,
thus suffering, passed the blow on to
labor by laying off train crews and reducing
operting expenses, so that dollar
wheat this time was at the expanse
of the American people and
not due to any strength in the foreign
markets, which in all previous
seasons have been the prime factors
in elevating prices.
Despite the constantly increasing
demand for corn as a food product, and
an increase in the home consumption
due tb^the short crop and high prices
of wheat, the decline in corn shipments
waA far from being so pronounced
as that pf wheat, American corn
shippers thus holding their foreign
trade much bettor than wheat and

President Names Men to Dig

SHONTS HEADS THE LIST
Only Three of the Members Have Important
Executive Functions to
Perform, Thus Carrying Out
Roosevelt's Primary Object.
President Roosevelt has carried out
this -plans for the reorganization of
the isthmian canal commission as to
personnel and business methods, generally
on the lines of the legislation
he suggested to congress at the last
session, which failed, in the crush of
business, at the closing hours. Monday,
within half an hour after the
president's departure from Washington
on his vacation trip, Secretary
Taft, directly in charge of canal matters,
made public the personnel of
the new commission and the division
of duties among them Only one member
of the old commission was reappointed,
Benjamin M. Harrod. Otherwise,
the commission is new from
top to bottom, for there is a top' and
bottom fend considerable difference
between the functions and pay of the
commissioners. Finding he was obliged
to appoint seven commissioners, the
president did so, but he carried out
his plan by making three of them practically
the commission. The other
four, though bearing the title of conv
missioners, not only receive a much
lower compensation, but are assigned
much smaller fields of activity. ,

of canal building among the commissioners,
so that, nominally, acting as a
body on stated occasions, each individual
member would operate in a
special field. The head of the commission
is a trained railroad man,
chosen for his administrative abilities
in the financial and purchasing field;
the new governor of the tone is a
lawyer, who also has had to do with
state affairs; the engineer commissioner
already Is known for his abilities in
the execution* of the practical work of
canal cutting. The other members of
the commission are piaced to comply
with the law as to the number of comi
misfsioners, but are men of high ability
as hydraulic engineers. Secretary
Taft told them that they were expected
to show results, and that is said
to be the keynote for the president's
action.
The personnel of the commission is
as follows: Theodore P. Shonts, chairman;
Charles E. Magoon, governor
canal zone; John F. Wallace, chief engineer;
Rear Admiral M. T. Endicott,
United States navy; Brigadier General
Peter C. Hains, United States
army, retired; Colonel Oswald M.

These names were announced at
the war department, and in connection
announcements Secretary
Taft gave out for publication a statement
showing the allotments of salaries
to the new commissioners and
his own letter to the president and
a lengthy one from the president containing
the plan for reorganization of
the commission, the reasons therefor
and the particular duties to be assigned
to each commissioner. The
first reads as follows:
"The president has made an order
allowing a salary of $2,500 with traveling
expenses for each member of
the commission, and the chairman
of the commission the additional compensation
of $22,500; to the chief engineer,
the additional compensation of
$17,500, and to the governor of the
zone the additional compensation of
$10,000. The head of each department
is allowed the use of a furnished
'house upon the isthmus and his traveling
expenses when traveling on business

and allowances under the former commission
amounted to $120,0001
