' There ought without delay to be a Secret Service that is— First—SECRET. Second—A SERVICE. LUCK AND THE PRESIDENCY. Many people hold that chance has not the slightest influence upon the careers of men or the affairs of nations. But consider how in several historical cases mon have come to the Presidency of these United States: (1.) John Tyler was an enthusiastic shouter for Henry Olay for President in the Whig Convention of 1840. Clay was defeated and William Henry Harrison was nominated. $ OHS TEEN'S {Tyler felt ao badly he wept on tho floor of the 3 Won rT. $ convention. Those tears made him Vice-Presi- Heecceccccceciy dent. Harrison’s death made him President. Hence one historian speaks of President Tyler as “the accident of an accident.” He literally cried himself into the White House. And Daniel Webster, his incomparably greater contemporary, twico refused the Vice-Presidency, and would have become President each time if ho had not. (2.) When Lincoln was nominated the second time Gen. But- ler, of Massachusetts, was urged—begged, in fact—to take the sec- ond place. He contemptuously refused. Andrew Johnson was put into it instead simply becauso he was a loyal Tonnessee man—a senti- mental way of saying that the South was still in the Union. Butler spent half a million dollars in years after in vain efforts to reach the office which, without knowing it, he spurned when it was within his reach. And Johnson, the tailor, who never thought of being Vice- President when the convention of 1864 met, became President. (3.) Chester Alan Arthur was not even mentioned or dreamed of for Vice-President when the convention met that named Garfield 0. in 1880. But to placate Conkling, who was ; raped siete! : wrathful over Grant’s defeat, the Garfield ; rreswent. ¢ lenders left it to Conkling to name anybody he Doceccecccered chose for Vice-President. Conkling named Arthur for no other reason than to retaliate on President: Hayes Um 4) ond Secretary Sherman, who had removed Arthur from the Collect- 2|orship of the Port of New York to spite Conkling. And Arthur accidentally became President—greatly to Conkling’s subsequent disgust. (4.) Roosevelt is the last great exemplié of the large part chance has played in selecting our Presidents for us. The Spanish war made him « popular hero and foreed him on Platt as candidate for Governor. By his own admission Democratic voters, disgusted with their own leaders, elected him. In the Governorship he dis- pleased Platt, and—intending to bury him politically—Platt foreed And Roosevelt, who wept in rage him into the Vice-Presideney. when he was foreed to take the second place, is Pres "WORM AND RIES. dent to-day.

A Bei Dear Mrs, Azer: I met a young man several times in company, but was never introduced, so neither of us spoke to each other. Ite- cently I met him at an affair which I attended with a married lady and her husband. By rome accident he spoke to my chaperon, and when I joined them, he spoke to me. We were together the rest of the evening and, on going home, he asked me when he would seo me again, so I told him T couldn't say, un- less we happened to meet olsewhere. Then he asked me, providing that my parents allow me to recelve gentlemen, if he could visit me. I told him candidly they did If they thought the young man respectable, so he said he did not dlame them for being so careful. I then gave him my address. I'm seventeen yoars and very tgnorant in the matter. He is about twenty years old and very sensi- ble. My mother had no objections when Ttold her.

Now she was certainly doomed. She could do no more. Twisted by the single stroke the bont turned sidewise and dropped swiftly through the draw. Then Pansy, half fainting, thougbt she caught the sound of a quick footstep on the bridge above. She tried to cry out for help, but in her exhaustion she could not raise her voice above a faint, Inarticulate sound. She reflected dimly at this would hardly attract any one's attention, even if heard, which was unilkely. An Instant later the boat was sweep- ing from beneath the shadow of the bridge, when suddenly there wi an- other shadow, long and black, that dropped swiftly from above, the boat rocked and heaved, and then somebody was there beside her,’ somebody that had his arms about her and was call- i be- fore me, but If you catch any one from Jersey or Long Island we will soak him.
