As my business was with the manager of this Great National Fancy Shop, I managed to push by the sad-eyed, eager-faced crowd of men and women in the anteroom, and entered the secretary's room, conscious of having left behind me a great deal of envy and uncharitableness of spirit. As I opened the door I heard a monotonous flow of Western speech which I thought I recognized.

They justified their course with the plea that such a requisition was unconstitutional, and that the war was unnecessary. Terrence had frequent interviews with the president. His audacity and his intense zeal won the admiration of President Madison and his cabinet, as well as many congressmen. One day, while waiting in the anteroom, he noticed a man whose features were evidently Hibernian.

On her arrival at the anteroom door, an attendant went in before the Queen to announce her presence; and, while awaiting admission, Rebecca gazed about her with a curiosity still unsatisfied. "There, now," she was saying, "'twas suttenly too bad to send you off on a wild-goose chase, Miss Margaret. Ef you could hev found the man, I'd hev ben glad, though."

The moment she appeared, a shout of joy bade her welcome.

The latter had disappeared into the hall through the anteroom. "Oh, the poor child!" cried sympathetic Ruth, and followed in the wake of the angry housekeeper. "Fire! Fire!" moaned Jennie Stone. "Cat's foot!" snapped Helen Cameron.

"Herr Grumbach," said the chancellor in a mild tone, "I should like to see your papers." "My passports, your Excellency?" "Yes." Grumbach laid them on the desk imperturbably.
