BY McCLURB, PHILLIPS V COMPANY It was all very pleasant to Miss Mat tie, as one's first picnic in many years should be. She enjoyed the crisp green sod, the great trees standing around, parklike, with the sunlight falling be tween their shade like brilliant tat ters of cloth of gold, while from the near distance came the tiny shouting of cool waters. They had a camp Are at night, making the moonlight still more mysterious and remote by con trast. The quartet of strings Dlaved for the ears of those who cared to listen and for the legs of those who chose to take chances on tripping their light fantastic toes over tree roots in the grass. Red loved music, and he loved the night. The poetic side of his memo ries of watching the Dipper swing around Polaris while he sung the cows to sleep came back to him. In his bind be saw the vast prairie roll on to Infinity, saw the mountains stand out. a world of white peaks, rising from sea of darkness. Again he beard the plaintive shrilling of an Indian whistle or the song of the lad down creek. made tuneful by the charm of dis tance. "Having a good time, Mattier he asked, with a smile. "The best I ever had, Will," she an swered, smiling back unsteadily. Poor lady! The size of aa occasion is i o many standards, whether the stand ard be inches or feet or miles. Miss Mattie's events had been measured in hundredths of an inch, and it took a good many of them to cover so small an action as a successful picnic on a beautiful night Her eyes were hu mid; her mouth smiled and drooped at the corners alternately. Red felt her happiness with a keen sympathy, and, as he looked at her, suddenly she changed in his eyes. Just what the difference was he could not have told, nor whether it was In her or In him. A sudden access of feeling, nndefln- able, unplaceable, but strong, pos sessed him. There Is a critical tern' perature in the life of a man, when no amount of pressure can ever make the more expansive emotions assume the calmer form of friendship. There was something in Miss Mattie's eye which had warmed Bed to that de gree, but he didn't know it. He only knew that he wanted to sit rather un necessarily close beside her, and that he would be sorry when It came time to go home. And he was very silent During the drive back to the house he spoke in monosyllables; be went straight to the barn with Lettis after ward, and made no attempt to take the usual ."rank and hearty good night kiss. "You're as glum as an oyster!" said Lettis, when they reached their quar ters. "What's the matter, old man?' I don't know, Let; I feel kind of quiet, somehow." "Sick? Or something go wrong?" "No; nothing of the kind. It's Just sort of an attack of stillness, but I feel durn good." Lettl8 laughed. "If it wasn't yon, Bed, I'd say yon were In love," he aid. It was well the barn was dark, or be would have seen a change wonderful to behold come over the ex-puncher's face. "The lad has bit It" be said to himself In astonishment; aloud be granted "hunh" scornfully, and aroused himself for an unnecessary Joke or two. Miss Mattle had noticed the "attack of stillness" and Immediately tried to fasten the blame upon herself. What bad she done? She couldn't recall anything. She remembered She had said something about the way bis hair looked with the moon shining on it Perhaps be bad taken offense at that The remark was entirely compliment ary, but sometimes people are touchy about such things. Still, that was not the least like Cousin Will. She most bave said or done something, though. What could it be? Oh. what a pitiful memory that could not recollect an In jury done to one's best friend! She tossed and wondered over It for a long time before at length she fell asleep. Bed also looked np at the roof and took account of stock. His face was radiant in the dark. If I could only pull that off!" be thought 1 must seem an awrni rougn earn 10 oar, though.

And the cobwebs held him, foaming and boiling with rage and disgust calling himself all the yaller pups be could think of, but staying strictly within the safe limits of tbe barn. It was a revelation to the big man, and not a pleasant one. How was he to know that the most salient point of his apparent cowardice was nothing less, worthy than respect for the woman's security? That If be would stop swearing long enough to get at the springs of bis action be would find that he hesitated because the new light on the matter made buge shadows of tbe slips In tbe career of a strong, lawless, untrained but sorely tempted man? He knew nothing pf the sort, and the funniest of comedies took place In the barn. He would Teach the sensible stage. "Pah I All foolishness! Go? Of course he'd go, and this very minute, and bave tbe thing done with, good or bad." He was quite amused at his former con duct until be reached the door; then he'd skip nimbly back again, with a hot feeling that somebody was watch ing him, although a careful Inspection through the crack of tbe door revealed no one. Red discovered another thing that afternoon, which was that the more nervous yon are the mere nervous yon get He groaned in perfect misery t "Ohohol That I should have seen the day when I was afraid to ask anybody antblng! What's come over me any how? Ifs this darn country, I be lieve. 'Tain't me." Then be stepped short "What you saying, Bed?" he queried. "Why don't yoa own up like a man?" The fact that It bad a funny side struck him, and be laughed half forlornly and half In thorough enjoy ment He suddenly sobered down. "She's worth it anyway," said he. "She's the best there Is, and I ought to feel kind of leery of tbe outcome. Well, now I guess I won't say any thing till there's a . downright good chance. I see I didn't savvy this kind of business like I thought I did. Twoiildn't be no kind of manners to step up to a lady and shout 'I'd like to have you marry me if you feel you've got the time!' That don't go no more than a Chinaman on roller skates, Tour work Is good, Bed, but It's a lit tie lumpy In spots. Them two left feet bother you. You're good In your place, but you'd better build a fence around the place, d n the luck! Smotbera tlon! I think she likes me, aU right, but when It comes to more'n that oh, blast It, I'll Just have to wait for real good chance! Now come, old man, get four feet on tbe ground and don't roll your eyes. Take It easy till tbe chance comes." Little he knew the chance was com ing up the street at that moment He only saw Miss Mattle step out Into the bed of flowers, ber face looking on usually pretty and youthfnl under the big straw bat and start to reduce tbe weeds to order. She glanced around as though In search of some one, and Bed felt intuitively that the one i himself. "Here's where I ought to act as if I wore long pants." said be. "Now, wbafs to binder me from going out there and get a-talking?" And then be sat down hastily, more disgusted than ever, and smote the air with bis fist "You'd think the nicest, quiet est woman that ever 11 red was a wild beast the way I act; yes, sir, yen would r Meantime tbe chance drew nearer.

Bed saw the brute Jump toward Miss Mattle. Instinctively his hand flew to bis hip. and Instantly he re membered there was nothing there. Then with great, uneven leaDs he sprang forward. "Keep your hands up. Mattle, and don't move!" he screamed. "Let blm chew the dress.' For God's sake, don't mover She turned ber white face toward his. and through the dimness of sight from bis straining efforts, be saw her try to smile as she obeyed him to the letter, and without a sound. "Oh, brave girl!" he thought and threw the ground behind him desperately. At twenty feet distance he dove like a base runner, and his bands closed around the dog's neck. Over they went with tbe shock of tbe onset, and before they were still the bands had finished their work. A clutch, and a snap, and It was done. The dog lay qurverlng. Bed rose to Ms knees, wondering at tbe bumming In bis bead. His wits came back to blm sharply. "Did be bite you, Wattle?" be cried. But she bad already caught bis bands and was looking at them with a sav age eagerness one would not bave be lieved te be In her. "There Is no mark," she said, sud denly weak. "He didn't touch yon?" "Answer me when I speak to your Shouted Bed, beside himself, "did he bite your' be answered him, with a sob, "No." Aad then his question asked Itself, and answered itself, although, again, he did not know it He gathered ber np In bis arms, kissed- ber like one raised from tbe dead and awore and prayed and thanked God all In the same breath. His old Imperious nature came back with the relief. "Here!" said be, put ting ber away for a moment "Take off that dress that slime on there's enough to kill a hundred men take It right off." Miss Mattle started blindly to obey, then stopped. "Not here, Will I'll go In tbe house," she said. "You'll take It off right here and now," said Bed, "and I'll burn It np on the spot I'd rotber bave forty rat tlesnakes around than that stuff. Oft with it! This is no child's play, and don't care a d n what tbe old lady next door thinks." Miss Mattle slipped off her outer skirt and stood a second, confused and dainty. She took flight to tbe house, running as Uthely as a greyhound. "By jingo!" said Bed In admiration. "Let's see yon bring another woman that can run like that!" He gathered some hay and plied It on tbe dress, firing tbe beep. ' Then be turned to bis antagonist "Poor old boy! Hard lock, eh? Bat I bad to do It," be said and gave him de cent Interment at the end of the gar den, washed bis bands carefully and went Into tbe house on pleasanter duties. "I'll ask ber now, by tbe great horn spoon!" said be valiantly. Miss Mattle was In a curious state of mind. There was an after effect from tbe fright which made her trem ble, and a remembrance of Cousin Will's actions which made ber tremble more yet When she beard him com ing she started to fly, although now clothed beyond reproach, bat ber knees deserted ber. and she wss forced to Ink back In ber chair.

"Mattle," quoth be, "I'm tired of liv ing oat there In tbe barn. I want a respectable house of my own.' "Tee, Will," replied Miss Mattle, as tonished that be should choose such a abject at each a time. "Yes." be continued, "and I want a wife toe. Ton often said you'd like to do something for me, Mattle. Sup pose yon take the job?" How much of glancing at a thing In one's mind as a beautiful improbabil ity will ever make such a cold fact astonishing? Miss Mattle eyed him with eyes that saw not Speech was stricken from her.

Washington March 21, 1908 Two extraordinary speeches have been delivered in the Senate during Ihe past Wfiek, one by Senator Till man and the other by Senator La Follette. The speech of the Sotuh Carolinian was, as usual, pictured- que, bung a wholesale denuncia tion of the President of whom he said, "He is now planning a truce with rich malefaotors and is ready to grant amnesty to all past offend ers. The price of negro delegates in the South rises each, day through improper use of federal patronage. The most flagrant of all the Execu tive neglects to enforce the law, a running sore, a cancer on the body politic, hated of all good citizens and denounced even by the President himself, who anathematized it in bitter language, but who takes no step to apply the remedy, is the failure to enforce the plain letter ot the law relating to the control of the national banks. Tbe lavish use oi bank resources and credit for years has borne fruit by enabling Napo, loons of finance through themedi urn of the New York Stock Ex- change to market billions of dollars of almost worthless stocks and to place these in the bands of helpless investors who have exchanged hard earned money for them which bave thus been diverted from tbe chan nels of legitimate business." Mr Tillman was greet with the usual crowded galleries and at times his remarkable statements and unique delivery elicited applause, until fi nally the Vice President was obliged to threaten to clear the galleries un less it ceased. Senator La Follette denounced in unmeasured terms and tones tbe Aldrich bill, which he declared was being enacted in the interest of the railways, the Standard Oil Company and J. Pierpont Morgan. He cbarg ed that tbe recent panic and the en (ire financial stringency had been produced by Morgan, Rockefeller, et aL, for the sole purpose of adding to their pecuniary profit. Mr. La Fol lette always excites a certain amount of interest not only by what be says but by the extraordinary manner in which he says it He alternately shouts and whispers, crouches, throws up bis arms, bends double and pounds his deck or stamps his foot. At times his voice rises to s perfect scream and a listener who could not see him might imagine murder was being done, lie is a star actor in the Senate. The present indications are that before my next letter is written the Aldrich bill will have been passed by the Senate with every Republican rote, save La Follette's, and about eight Democratic votes. The Sen ate committee on Finance has strick en ont the railway bond provision of tbe bill, bad done so in fact be fore Mr. La- Follette made his speech, and this, it is believed, will serve to disarm most of tbe opposition in tbe House, while the President is seek ing to secure its psssage and urging members of both houses who call nponhim to vote for it Tbe President has recently shock ed a great many people in Washing ton by urging the District Attorney to demand a jail sentence for tbe President of the American National Bank and the Washington Chamber of Commerce. This man, wbo is wealthy and influential, has been making and selling, as a side issue, head-ache remedy and . a "brain food" both of which be guaranteed 'free from injurious drugs." Analy sis has shown, however, that both contain injurious drags which will almost certainly affect tbe heart and which are likely to result in drug habits. This is tbe first conviction under tbe Pore Food snd Drag act and tbe President takes tbe ground that if a wealthy bank president is made to err a jail sentence at-the beginning it will bar. a most bene ficial .fleet in promoting observance of tha law. There has been a great deal of Johnson talk in Washington this week and some of the Democratic leaden ars beginning to believe that tha Minnesota Oovernor may stand chanos of nomination at Denver. t appears at this distance as if the Minnesotisn wss in absolute earnest in his .Sort to captors tbe nomina tion and as be if practically the only opponent of Mr. Bryan thus far it altogether likely that the op posiUoa to Mr. Bryan will all center on Johnson, That this will amount toenou&h to result in giving John son tbe acnlnatioti lew man will predict at this time, the majority believing that Mr. Bryan will bar things all his oven way when the convention meets next July. The Democratic leaders regard with considerable, complacency the situation in the Republican ranks where the dweorufited aod defeated conservatives are growing daily more j litter as Secretaiy Taft's strength ' grows daily more obvious. Tat i delegates are being elected in all j ! parts of the country and the old ; time, conservative Republicans re gard the probability of Taft's elec tion with no greater complaceny than they would anticipate four years more of Roosevelt. They are fighting tooth and nail to prevent an end that seems inevitable and the more they feel their own impo tence tbe more determined they are to have their own way and nominate a conservative or else pull the walls of the party edifice down about them. Captain Hobson continues to send the cold shivers down the back of Speaker Cannon by insisting a re presentative of the Electric Boat Company did assure him that he had sufficient influence with Mr. Cannon to secure Hobson's appoint ment on the Naval Affaire commit tee. The Boat Company's agent denied that he said it and then Hob- son came forward and demanded that bis Secretaiy be placed on the stand as be had heard the offer. The committee refused to hear the Sec, retary but now Rep. Hobson has made the demand in writing and the committee can hardly afford to ig nore it. This is what Hon. Jake Moore, State Warden of Georgia, says of Kodol For Dyspepsia. "E. C. De Witt fe Co., Chicago 111., Dear Sirs I have suffered for more than 20 years from indigestion. About eighteen months ago I had grown so much worse that I could not di gest a crust of corn bread and could not retain anything on my stomach. I lost 25 lbs; in fact I made np my mind that I could not live but a short time, when a friend of mine recommended Kodol. I consented to try it to please him and I was better in one day. I now weigh more than I ever did in my life and am in better health than for many years. Kodol did it. I keep a bot tle constantly, and write this hoping that humanity will be benefited.
