Six years ago Leslie Mortimer Shaw, governor of Iowa, who has been ap-. pointed secretary of the trensury to, succeed Lyman J. Gage, was practically unknown ontslde of his home town. During this brief period Governor Shaw has leaped from obscurity to national fame, and today his name is as well known as that of any man In the public eye. When William J.

There stood the name individual He entered with ail obsequious bow, care tally wiped his feet, removed his hat, and meekly asked : "Is Mr. IogailB here ?" The magnate beamed. "Ab, my voung friend," said he graciously. That Is better. What can I do for yen?" The countryman drew himself np with a ferocious glare. "Bo for me?" he yelled. "Do for me ?

Taken by surprise, Mr. Ingram looked np and beheld a tail, bronzed personage, bearing every matk tf rural oltisenshlp, survey lug the apartment with an Inquiring eye. The new-comer demanded shsrply: "Is Ingalls here?" "Iam Ingalls," returned the magnate laoonloally. The stranger strode to the desk and threw down an envelope. "Letter tor yoo," he said cortiy.
