Having said what he wanted to ay, Cayley remained there a lit tle awkwardly, as if not sure whether to eo or to stay. Antony wondered whether he wanted , to talk about the afternoon's happen ings, ' or whether it was the one subject ha wished to avoid. To break the silence he asked care lessly if the inspector had gone. . Cayley nodded. Then he said ab ruptly, "He's getting a warrant for Mark's arrest."

OF Official Reports Often Find Their Work Amus ing Despite Hard i (irind. Washington, Aug. a. -Millions of words are bandied about in Con gressional debate but every one of t Ik m I. nds its w ay to the printed pages of the permanent Congres sional Record through the ability of 111 oflicial stenographic report ers. These 11 men. who probably have heard more speeches than any oth er men in the country, are speed nnrvi Is in transmitting the spok en word to printed heirographs, later to be translated into Uie offi cial documents. The recent ad journment of the House brought a welcome vacation to half of them, while the remainder still toil away in the Senate. The Congressional reporters are enthusiastic over their calling. They are always eager to have cor rected versions given the public when some slight-error flips into their work. An amusing mistake occurred some time ago when Sen ator "Jim" Reed, of Missouri, was attacking Volsteadism. "The sacred rights of the ancient Mritisher extended to his curtil age." said Reed, in referring to the Mritish law that u man's home is h.s castle. Stenographer Makes Error. Instead of "curtilage" the report- : er wrote it "garage," ami the laugh was on Reed until the error was corrected. Slips of this kind, however, are few and far between. Some Sena tors and Congressmen are "harder to take" than others, while each reporter, has his favorite. ; On the Senate side, Senators King. Democrat, of Utah; Wads worth, Republican, of New Y'ork; Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, and Pomerene, Republicao, of Ohio, are the easiest to report. They speak dearly, more often slowly and with perfect enunciation. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, also is well Ijked, for he speaks as does Senator Shortridge, Republican, of California, with de- liberateness and a scholarly into- nation. Senator Ashurst, Demo- Lodge is 'Troublesome Senator Iodge, Republican, of j Massachusetts, is one of the "trou- , blesome" Senators. oLdge seldom speaks in a loud tone, but once he is angered, as frequently occurs , when he indulges in debate, his words are twisted and whipped out, ' much to the dismay of the report- . ers.

He was always ' Krcssjonal debates," said Fred Ire Iand dean of tne nouse reporters, is not in following one speaker,; but in trying to follow three or four who constantly interrupt each j other, and when several speak at one time.

The total printed output of con- j gressionad debate fills some 420,000 ! pages. Of this amount one-half j gressmen talked ireely, Dut their speeches were recorded only in part. The present system of a complete report was started in 1848. When the change was made the speeches were being reported by a contract between congress and the old Washington Globe. This contract lasted until 1873 when the present system of the congress' 0wn reporters was substituted, The change was due to a young man named Oliver Dyer, who, in 1011 j shorthand. He taught a class in phiUdeinhia and from his bright est pupils selected three Dennis F. Murphy, David W. Brown and John E. McElhone and came to Washington. Obtains Reporting Contract. He obtained the reporting con tract from the Globe, placing Mur phy and Brown in the senate, re porting the house himself. Ten years later McElhone was added to the staff, going to the house.

"It was tho introduction of tho perfected shorthand system In 184S which permitted the change from incomplete to complete records of debate," explained Ireland.
