Not caring to disturb these villain*
who had no more reepeet for -Gontod

About midnight they came to a rim

there. They tuned In among the treat

The young lady laughed and went
Into the bouse.
"Mamma, there'a.a yonng country

gallery. They want aome aupper and
a bed for the night" I
An elderly lady, with two white pufl
curia on either aide of her facet looked
up from a book ahe waa reading. Hal
appearance waa dignified and refined. |
"The young man looks quite ilk* a
gentleman, If he la a countryman,"
added the daughter.
"We must be very cautloua, Laura;
you know how we are altuated; youl
father and brother away and no man
in the house, we can't let atrangen

The daughter paused a moment and
thought
"Do you know, mamma, I cant ea

'What nonsense, Laura I We are tab

The daughter withdrew, for the mo

the veranda Mark rose respectfully
and stood looking Into her black eye*
with hie blue ones. Her mother's ea»

"You can have some supper," ah«
said, "if yon eare to eat it in the lowei

Mark waa bowing his thanks.

"The barn? Certainly not','
"You know these are troubloui

we are alone. I mean we haven't

added, conscious of having madi
known the household's weakneeo to t
stranger.
Mark smiled. The young lady wai
looking at him as he did so, and eh«
thought he had a very charming smile
"We will sleep anywhere you chooM

The first sentence waa spoken la hit

singularly mixed.
"I suppose your men are fighting Mi

This Is what she says about it: "I was so weak and I

1 Jeffries Davis Puts the Laugh oa
! Lodge.
I Klrhmonil 11met-Dlipeteh.
t Among the amendments offered
to the Farmer's Free List Bill the
> day it passed the Senate was the
1 following by Senator Lodge, of
, Massachusetts:
t "To add to the free list bill the
| following: 'Rice, cleaned; un
, cleaned rice, or rice free of the
I outer hull and still having the
{ outer cuticle on; rice flour, riee
1 meal, and broken rice; paddy or
» rice having the outer hull on.'"
j Immediately, the Hon. Jeffrieg
DAVIN, Senator from Arkansas,
offered the following aa a fair
( stand-off to the amendment of the
Senator from Massachusetts:
I "To add to the free list bill:
| 'Boston baked beans, black beans,
string bpans, raw, dried, split or
» parched; also codfish, skinned or
unskinned, fresh or served in
calls."'
I That is the cleverest thing
Jeffries Daviaever did, and it was
, worthy of a better man. We
didn't know anything like that
1 was in him, and he shonld be
praised for the wry in which he
squelched the the bean-eating
statesman from Nahant.
