"Ah, but it's different with a husband. A

CASTOR Foy took up his hat from the table
and left the room without a word. He was
meditating what he should do with himself
In the next hour. He was specializing

His letter to Foy had been Of the briefest.
"look round the first thing tomorrow
morning; I want to talk to you"
The father was up betimes, too agitated
to eat his breakfast. He carried his cup Of
tea to the study at the back Of the dining
room, and paced that snug apartment, wait
ing for Mr.. Foy. Up stairs there was wild
excitement among the feminine part of the
household, rushings and hurryings from
room to room-spectral figures in long,
white raiment and flowing hair. crimping,
p aiting, hooking and cycling. Here on the
ground floor there was an awful quietude.
Presently CASTOR Foy came in He, who
was usually so pale, had this morning a
hectic spot Oh each cheek. He. too, shared
in the general excitement. Looking at him
closely Mr.. Umpieby saw that his lips were
dry and white.

asked nervously.
Bella was the bride.
@No, there is nothing the matter with

want to talk. I think-when we first knew
you-you told me that you stood quite alone
In the world-that you were an orphan-had
fought your own way in life-had not a
living soul belonging to you"

Several names have been suggested for

caused by the recent death of Senator
Miller. The Morning Hour, some time
ago, suggested that the Senator to be
elected by the next Legislature be taken
from Southern California, as this section
of the State has been persstently ig-
nored in the matter OF the Senatorship.
We now demand recognition, not only
on geographical grounds, but because
we are entitled to such honors in other
respects. We have the material, and do
not ask it rs matter Of political senti-

and along the line Of the track. The
train was long one and was made up
of citrus fruits from Southern California.
1t took three large engines to haul it. or
at least three were hooked on. At the
head of the long train of cars were five
decorated cars from San Bernardinc,

with evergreens, VIII le about two dozen
American flags aosted TO the breeze from
