Three of the best years of his lite he gave unhesitatingly and unecniiplaip.ingly to the work before him. At the end cf that time the factory v. as running with a smooth ness that tcok several wrinkles out of the general manager's brow and made the firm think seriously of in creasing the plant. "Our Mr. Crawford" the firm spoke of him proudly in this manner now had made hlm.-eif necessary to i I i : , Vftt 3 i Crawford's Shoulders Rose and Fell Convulsively. the Perfection Electric Switch Com pany, but his success had not been entirely satisfactory to himself. "With all his quiet force, the superintend ent was a very human young man. He had hoped to gain the complete confidence of the men and women under him. It was respect he wanted lather than fear. The lax, easy going regime of the former superintendent had made that careless individual very popular with the factory hands. They had given him all sorts of presents on his birth days and at Christmas time. The day his "resignation" oh. euphonic term! had gone into effect they had presented him with an ornate watch charm, and when, red in the face and embarrassed he had tried to stammer his thanks, they had cheered him roundly and pressed about him to shake his hand. Powell had undoubt 7. tii &1 Lowly. l'Hermitte. and was purchased by York City, in 1905, from the in- 1 - cl ! For 1 i 1 1 1 o loo vi . op 1 n caa 1 1 hearts than Ihcvy! SUPERINTENDENT ploycs, but his popularity had been gained at tho expense of results in the output of the factory. -Under the new superintendent the output was satisfactory and more. The question that continually pre sented itself to the young man's trou bled mind was whether, in the Inter ests of the firm he had not been too harsh with the employes. In eradi cating the evils Jim Powell had wrought he had found it necessary to calculate in cold-blooded fashion, to bo ready with blame and chary of praise. The result was Inevitable. While the prcilta grew steadily Craw ford realized that it was because of his ceaseless vigilance and the firm ness with which he held the employea at work. There were times when he was tired, especially when it seemed to him that he had merely developed into a successful slave driver. Sometimes at 6 o'clock, when the big gong had sounded, he would sit by the time-machine and watch the men file down the stairs. He would have given much if here and there in the long line a face had been lifted to his with a nod or a comprehending smile, but the "hands" rang in their, time in sullen silence. His very pres ence seemed to chill their spirits, and when one of them looked at him it was either with bitterness or a blank stare. Meanwhile the Perfection Electric Switch Company prospered amazing ly, and at the same time the superin tendent grew a little more stoop shouldered, a little more reserved, a little more heavy of eye. In November of the third year It happened that "Our Mr. Crawford" was taken sick. At the time he was mittins- forth strenuous efforts to r 0 have an increase of pay for the em- j ployes, in consequence of which he was at the office several days when he should have been in bed. He wanted the hands to understand that their work had been appreciated, and although he had to grind his teeth to keep from crying out with the pain he went daily to the office and argued with the general manager and the members of the firm. The firm was obdurate. It was de cided finally that, in view of the ex- i tensive additions that were to be made to the plant the increase could I not be granted for another year. oick at heart and racked with pain the su perintendent staggered to his apart ments in the gray November uusk, went to bed and sent for a doctor. The physician came, chided the young man for his carelessness of his health and said a slight operation would be necessary the next day. The operation was successful, and; the physician assured the anxious ; general . manager that the patient would be at the factory in a couple of weeks. But the physician had not reckoned on many things the weari ness of mind and body in his patient, the bitterness of his recent failure to induce the firm to increase the pay of the hands,. and the dragging load un der which he had struggled silently for the past three years. The wound caused by the opera tion healed rapidly, but with the heal ing came no strength. Crawford sat daily propped up in a chair, by the window, listless and uninterested ia RALEIGH, NORTH j.urzled and not a HttJe Irritated: th R-nral manar, whr tan da!!y, t--?an to show t!-n of alarm .

The man tried everything his fer tile mind and thnrntip-htrainl si-est. but with no results. Craw ford sat silently by the window day afier day, looking varantly at tho bare branches of the trot 3 and the patches of dull cloud drifting across the early whiter sky. Christrjas tlrao found Crawford propped in his chair, looking out over . a world newly swathed in spotless t-l-uA , ..V white. The doctor declared that now : It v.-as only a question of time, and the attendant had lone since ceasM ! trvln-r to rouse the irk n,r,n' Anr. nant interest. On Christmas Day Crawford opened an envelope from the factory, and found it enclosed a substantial check. He smiled bitter ly and handed it to the attendant. "Here, take it! Merry Christmas!" he said, in a colorless voice. I At dusk it was snowine aealn.ar.d Just after the lights be-raa to twinkle through th gloom Crawford. In his chair, fell into a heavy slumber. Ho was awakened by a lusty rapping at the door. The attendant went into the little hall and presently returned. "Two ladies and three gentlemen to see you. sir," he said. The visitors were ushered in, and as they entered the room Crawford gripped the arms of his chair and stared with wide opened eyes. There were two giggling girls from the wir- ing department at the factory, two men from the assembling bench and the foreman of the brass room. . , .... . , The girls tittered and the men looked ill at ease. Crawford sat up in his chair. Two snots of color came into his wan che eeks. The foreman advanced and cleared his throat. "We've come, sir," he said, looking at the ceiling, "to show you that, even If you're not with us, you're not for- ! gotten. Perhaps wo haven't always i understood you, but anyway we know you re the right sort. e ve neara all about your fight for an increase for us, and even if we didn't get it, Ave know it wasn't because you didn't do your best for us. So to show our respect for you and your efforts in our behalf we've brought you this." He tore the covering from a parcel he bore and held out a silk umbrella with a-large pearl and silver handle. "And and Merry finished. "Merry Christmas!" echoed two other men and the two girls the I i A lump rose in Crawford's tiroat. He could only beam upon them and mutter feebly, "Merry Christmas to ,,, 5a- "Some few minutes after the com- mittee from the factory had gone the doctor came bustling into the hall. The attendant met him and shook a j warning finger at him. The doctor j craned his neck and peeped cautious- j i ly into the room. ! Crawford sat under the light. His head was hidden in the crook of one arm that rested on the window sill. Clutched tightly in the other was a silk umbrella with a large pearl and silver handle. Crawford's shoulders rose and fell convulsively; he was sobbing like a child. , The doctor smiled in comprehen sion. "Good!" he declared, emphati cally. "That's something like!" And turning on his heel he stole softly down the stairs.

With the Connecticut, the flagship of "Fighting- Bob" Evans, in the lead, .the 1G great war vcssls of the Am erican navy steamed slowly out of Hampton Roads, booming a mighty salute as they passed the little gov ernment yacht Mayflower, where President Reiosevelt, surrounded by distinguished officials of the navy de partment, reviewed the great armada. The President watched the imposing line of war vessels until the last had vanished from sight, and then, wav ing a "Godspeed," began prepara tions for an immediate return to Washington. With the President on the bridge of the Mayflower were Admiral Dewey, Secretary Metcalf, Assistant Secretary Newberry, Rear Admiral Brownson, Rear Admiral Converse and the heads of the dif fetent bureaus of the navy depart ment. The Mayflower, with the President and his party on board, arrived in Hampton Roads early in the morning. Its appearance was the signal for a wild salute from all the ships of the fleet anchored in the Roads. Ad miral Evans and the flag officers, fol lowed by the commanders of the ves sels, visited the Mayflower to pay their respects to the President and the Secretary of the Navy. Shortly afterwards the Connecticut hoisted anchor and stood out to sea, fol lowed by the other vessls. As they passed the Mayflower the customary salutes were exchanged. The order of the ships of the fleet in the review was as follows: Con necticut, flagship of Admiral Evans, Captain Hugo Osterhans; Kansas, Captain Charles S. Vreeland: Ver. mont. Captain William Potterj Louisiana, Captain Richard Wain wright ; Georgia, flagship of Rear Ad miral Charles M. Thomas, Captain Henry McCrae; New Jersey, Captain William H. H.

Bowyer; Kear sarge, Captain Hamilton Hutchins, and Kentucky, Captain Walter C. Cowles. The yacht cruiser Yankton, the supply ship Culgoa, the refrigera tor ship Glacier and the repair ship Panther, together with the colliers ac companied the battleships. The tor pedo boat fleet is already on the way. The day's naval review surpassed any previously held in American watejs, and created great enthusiasm among the officers and men of the fleet, as well as in the ranks of the thousands of spectators who lined the shores of Hampton Roads to wit ness the great affair. Thousands of visitors flooded into Norfolk and oth er Tidewater towns Sunday and Monday, intent on seeing tho gTeat &aal -lr4, aut cvra:rr 3 pmale jsrht free N Yen cttir.

It is detain that the trallant tai if the licet wiil be given a joyous time dm ing their hoiidav viit ot !ie days in Trinidad. The people Jierc, as in other cities which the leet will stop, are preparing a spread ag'e time for the visiting sailonnen. great sporting carnival has been irrnnged in Trinidad for the five lays, including golf and polo for the dlieers, football and baseball for the men and horse races for everybody. The breakers of the Gulf of Paria will afford magnificent Christmas Dathing, and, altogether, the 12.000 sailors of Uncle Sam will undnubted y spend the most interesting hoii lay period of their live. A great Christmas feast, with a pound of Vermont turkey for each man, will "e served on the vessels, the food for he great banquet being stored in the refrigerator thip Glacier. Jack will next be heard from fit Rio de Janerio, the beautiful capital )f Brazil, where he wiil fpend the en davs from January 11 to January 21. This ancient city, now trans formed into one of the most beuti Pul capitals of the world, will give Jack a hearty welcome, and he will probably heave a nigh of regret when the ships hoi?t anchor and sail away for Punta Arenas, the mast souther ly city on this side of the globe. From the heat of the tropics Jack vill pass into the cold of winter, de spite the fact that the noses of the vessels will be always pointed south ward. One of the most interesting por tions of the voyage will be that through the tortuous channel of the Strait of Magelan, about 310 mile long and for the most part hardly wider than the Mississippi or the Hudson. On one side are the barreu wastes of Patagonia, and on the oth er Terra del Fuego, the land of tire. Greasy natives, with hardly more clothing than a lady ot a o'dcty ball, will swarm about the vessels, off?t ing to trade anything they own or ?an procure for anything ele under the tun. Three thousand miles the great fleet will plow through the bluo wa ters of the Pacific, northward from Punta Arenas before the port of Cal lao is reached. February Sth is the date set for the arrival of the fleet it the Peruvian seaport, after having traveled a distance of nearly 11, 300 miles. Reports from Caliao state that the people of that city and of Lima, the beautiful capital of Peru, have already commenced prepara tions for the reception of Jack. There will be visits to the old cathe dral, the tomb of Pizarro and other points of historic interest, ai well ai bull fights and other sports peculiar to the people of Latin America, all arranged for the delectation of Jack. The Peruvians have an enviable rep utation for hospitality and Jack will certainly enjoy his visit with tbem. even if the tropical February sun does beat down upon his head in a manner uncomfortably warm. Mag dalena Bay on the coast of Mexico, will be the next stop. There Jack will be put to work at target prac tice, and his days of play will b over.
