"Fortunately the cabinet was with the president in his room in the rear of the senate where he comes at the close of the senate to sign bills at the last moment. "Secretary Cortolyou, out of his abundance of precaution, had brought the bill with hm and with tears in my eyes I pleaded with the secretary of the interior until he finally consented to withdraw his -objection and asked the president to sign the bill."

Pressed to desperation, Tracy made tho cir cuit, headed due north and plunged Into the outskirts of the lake where ho finally succeeded In casting tho scent. THE CORN MARKET. THE THIRTEEN CLUB.
