most as good looking for a man as
she was for a woman. They made a
pair to draw to, I tell you, loping over
the prairie full of health and young
ness! You wouldn't want to see a
prettier sight than they mode, and you
could see It at any time, for they
were together whenever It was possi
ble. Loys was so happy it made you
feel like a boy again to see her. She
told me in private that It was wonder
ful how the air out here agreed with
her, and I said It was considered
mighty bracing and never let on that
they proclaimed their state of mind
every time they looked at each other.
I reckon old Smart Aleck Jonesy was
the only party In the township who
didn't understand. Kyle used to put
vinegar In his coffee and things like
that, and if you'd ask ftm, "What's
war renow's name that runs the dom
ing store In town?' he'd come out of

very amiable to show that he thor
oughly admitted you were right
"Well, things went as smooth and
easy as bobsledding until It came time
for Loys to be moseying back to col
lege again. '
"Then Kyle took me Into his confi
dence. I never was less astonished In
my whole life, and I didn't tell him
so. 'Well, what are you going to do
about It?' says I.
"He kind of groaned and shook bis
head. 'I dunno,' says he. 'Do you
think she likes me, Red?' I felt like
saying, 'Well, If you ain't got all the
traits but the long ears I miss my
guess,' but I made allowances, and
says I: 'Well, about that I don't think
I ought to say anything. Still, if I had
only one eye left I could see plain
that her education's finished. She don't
want any more college, that girl don't
'"Think notr says he, bracing up.
And then by and by they went out to
ride, for Jonesy was good to the girl,
I'll say that for him. He was willing
t? do anything for her in reason, ac
cording to his views. But Kyle wasn't
In them views; be was out of the pic
ture as far as husbands went
"They came back at sunset, when
the whole world was glowing red tne
same as tfiey were. I reached for the
field glasses and took a squint at
them. There was no harm in that;
for they were well behaved young
folks. One look at their faces was
enough. There were three of us In
the bull pen-Bob and Wind River
Smith and myself. We'd brought up
a herd of calves from Nanley's ranch,
and we were taking it easy. Boys,'
says I under my Dreatn, -tneyve maae
the riffle.'
" 'No,' says they, and then everybody
had to take a pull at the glasses.
"'Well. I'm clad.' says Smithy, and
darn my buttons If that'old hardshell's
voice didn't shake. 'They're two 01 as
nice kids as you'd find in many a
weary day,' says he. 'And I wish 'em
all the luck in the world."
" 'So do I,' says I, 'and I really think
the best we could do for 'em would be
to shoot Jones.'
"'Man! Won't he slzz?' says Bob.
And you can't blame us old codgers if
we bad a laugh at that although it
was such a powerful serious matter to
the youngsters.
" 'Let's go out and meet 'em,' says I.
And away we went They weren t a
particle surprised. I suppose they
thought the whole nnivorse bad stop
ped to look on. We pump handled
away and laughed, and Loys she
laughed kind of toary, and Kyle be
looked red In the face jtnd proud
mrA nanamed of himself, and
we all felt loosened up considerable,
but I told him on the quiet, Take that
fool grin oft your face unless you warn
sees you.' . - .
thv onlv bad three days left
to get an action on them, as that was
the time set for Loys to go back to
college,

hind the big barn, snd they called In
Uncle Bed-otherwise known as Big

which means 'Bad Heart Bed' In BIoux

valuable advice.

out to bo too late, for what must Kyle
do but get chucked from his horse and
have his leg broke near the hip. You
don't want to take any love affairs
on to the back of a bad horse, now you
mark me! There was no such thing
as downing that boy when be was In
his right mind.
"Now, here was a hurrah! Loys, she

"'Red, you're a brick. You're the
best fellow alive,' says Kyle, nearly
squeezing the band off me,
" 'I've tried to conceal it all my life,
tint I knew it would.be discovered
some day,' says I. 'Well, I suppose I'd
better . break the news' to Loys.
Twouldn't be any more than polite,'
"Oh, Lord! I wonder if she'll bo

" 'No reason I shouldn't turn an hon

He wanted to do It, thinking I was la
earnest, but I laughed at him.
"She was willing all right-even
anxious. There's some women, and
men, too, for that matter, who go
through life like a cat through s back
alley, not caring a cuss for either end
or the mlddlo. They would have been
content to wait. Not so Loys. She
wanted her Kyle, her poor Kyle, and
she wanted him quick. That's the
kind of people for mel Your cautious
folk are all tho time falling do
wells because their eyes are up In tl.e
air, keeping tabs so that tboy can
dodge shooting stars.
"Now, I bad a minister friend up In
town, Father Blade by name. No, be
was not a Catholic, I think. Tbey
called blm 'father' because It fitted
him. His church bad s steeple on It
anyhow, so It waa no maverick. Jnst
what particular kind of religion th
old man had I don't know, but I should
say be was a homeopath on a guess.
He looked it Twas s comfort to see
him coming down the street his old

bare s chin about things.
"'Are you keeping straight Bed",
he'd ask when we parted.
" Urn, Td any, Tm afraid you'd no
tice s bend here snd there If you slid
your eyes along the edge.' -
" "Well, keep as straight as yon can:
don't give op trying, my boy,' he'd
tell me, mighty earnest snd rd feel
ashamed of myself .clear around tbs

"I knew tbo old man would do me

"But of "course "we : bad to UMl&ia,

"When we reached tho ranch the

Washington letter

Washington January 18, 1908.
Senator Bacon of Georgia intro
duced irAhe Senate this week the
first, comprehensive financial bill
which has been presented by the
Democrats. In many of its features
it resembles the Aldrich bill, but a
radical difference is to be found in
the provision that in times of finan
cial stress trust companies and state
banks shall be allowed to issue the
emergency currency under restnc
tions and supervision similar to that
now exercised by the federal gov
ernment over national banks. In the
Finance committee, Senator Daniel
has suggested that the tax on Stale
bank circulation be removed during
an emergency but he did not press
the suggestion to a vote. Senator
BaiJey, however, haa proposed that
in placs of leaving unlimited discre
tion to the Secretary of the Treasury,
the Comptrollet of the Currency and
the Treasurer of the United States
to say when and where emergency
shall be issued, limitations propor
tionate to the banking capital and
within certain geographical divisions
be imposed and the suggestion has
met with the respectful considera
tion of the committee which has
asked Mr. Bailey to formulate, bis
proposition in legal language.
Senator Aldrich, who has been
off the passage of the Culberson re
solution calling on the Secretary of
the Treasury for information rela
tive to the sale of Panama bonds,
from day to day, promising that a
comprehensive statement from the
Secretary would reach the Senate on
Wednesday, was finally obliged to
permit the resolution to pass as
Wednesday came and there was no
statement from Mr. Corlelyou. It is
expected to reach the Senate this
week, but it is entirely probable
that the Secretary will be reti
cent on tbs subject concerning which
Mr. Culberson's resolution inquires.
Mr. Culberson is convinced that
when s report on bis resolution is
mads it will show that Secretary
Cortelyou bas been guilty of viola
tion of the law.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
at mass meeting this week called
for the purpose of bringing together
all associations in tbs District of
Columbia in tavor of prohibition,
enthused his audience by declaring
it bis opinion that the people of
Washington can hare prohibition
if a majority' of citizens sppsal to
Congress for it ' 'You know what
you want," hs said, "but the trou
ble with you is you don't know how
to get it" Tbs Senator proceeded
to give bis hearers ons of his practi
cal common sense talks which excit-
sd the greatest Interest and no little
enthusiasm.

President Roosevelt bas been ss-
sored, very rsosoUy, by several
Southern politicians that Secretary
Tail would reosirs most of the
etmgtbwooth of Mssoo and Dixon's
line which bad been preparing to
swing into line for Mr. Roosevelt
wbso bis no third term declaration
knocked their plans sky high.
Senator TUJmaa this wsek offer
ed a resolution which has been
adopted by tbs Senate, directing ths
Interstate Commerce Commission to
inform the Senate whether any cor
porations engaged in interestate
commerce are the owners of any
stock of other corporations which are
transposing passengers and freight.
If so, the commission is farther di
rected to transmit a statement show
ing the extent and details- of such
ownership, so far as the facts now
appear in the office of commission,
and to state in what cases the cor
porations whose stock is so owned
have been competitors jbr traffic
with the corporation owning their
.stock. When Mr. Tillman first pre
eented this resolution, senator Aid
rich offered an objection to its con
sideration, but this he withdrew,
and it was adopted by the Senate.
The differences existing between
Minority Leader John Sharp Will
iams and his political colleague on
the Committee on Rules. Mr. De
Armond of Missouri, which caused
a personal'enconnter just before the
holidays, were further emphasized
this week in the course of the con
sideration of th'e criminal laws. It
wis thought that these ' -o Repre-
senatives bad patched up their seem
ingly temporary difference but evi
dently their viewpoints are totally
different and there may bo wordy
contests between them many ' times
during the session.
