Hale stated the object of the bill was to
carry out the settled policy of the govern
mernment as shown by legislation exclnd-
ing Chinese laborers ION coming into the
United States hereafter. That was its
only object. Unless some such bill passed
hundreds and thousands of Chinese would
come from month to month and from year
to year, as they were now coming. The
object of the bill was to prevent that. The
matter then went over until Monday.
Mitchell gave notice of several amend
ments which he would offer to the bill on
Monday.
After executive SESSION, adjourned.

Missy ragged over this state of things.
''Brer Nicholas amt no mo- use to me
than settin' hen" she declared. 1t re-
quired Glory-Ann's strictest vigilance to
keep the child from logging the steps of
the two young people.
AS for Flora, she was sorely perplexed.
Nicholas had never been so attractive to
her as now. Alone with his pretty cousin,
he abandoned all pretence 81 gayety, and
gave himself up to sadness that was not
without its fascination for young girls
heart; and there were moments when
Flora hardly knew whether she preferred
her cousin or Aleck Gage.
And there was Alecl1 Gage coming
every few days. "Wonder what makes
him such a fool?" was the colonefs un-
spoken comment. "But it's Flora privi-
lege to keep him dangling"
Nicholas did not quit the parlor or the
piazza when Aleck came now, and he
walk was proposed; but when once they
were out in the shrubbery, Nicholas dis
appeared.
This was Missy's hour of triumph,
when she bounced upon her brother. and
bore him off to inspect birds nest, to
carve her name in the bark Of a tree, to
make etchings with thorn upon the
leaves of the century plant.
And this was also young Alexis hour,
when he waxed eloquent and confiden-
tial; though never hint would his sense
of honor permit him to breathe of the
glimpse that had been given him of
Nicholas Thorne's heart.
In this state of things Flora was sorry
for Nicholas, and angry with him, too.
Often she fancied that he was upon the
point of speaking but lacked the cour-
age, which was indeed the case. She
wished he could speak, that they might
come to an understanding; and yet she
dreaded to have him speak, knowing
what wrath and bitterness would follow
upon her answer. Every member Of the
family, she was we'll aware, would take
Nicholas part; everybody would blame
her except Aleck Gage. IF Nicholas
would only be content to be brother!
And all that Nicholas desired was that
Flora should be to him as sister.

Dosia without speaking to my father;
but my father wrote 20 me and laid down
the law-you know what he has always
wished. He insisted" -
But Nicholas, angry though he was,
had 1t not in him to tell his cousin that
he had been commanded to ask her in
marriage, and that he had married sud
denly the girl he loved, TO escape obey
ing that command; nevertheless, Flora
understood.
cit would have been useless" she said
stifly.
Her mother was dying, " Nicholas con
tinued, sadly. ''and did not know when
l could go back TO Dosia; SO we were
married beside her mothers death bed.
OF course it was intended TO be kept a
secret for the present. Nobody knows
except her fatber and the preacher who
married Us; her mother died, IS you
know"
at is miserable business" said Flora,
with fresh tears. Nicholas sighed; his
anger was exhausted. And l do not
know what is 70 be done, Nicholas: On,
it will make everything so unhappy for
all Of us. Is there no possible way 70
undo it,
Just heaven. Flora" exclaimed
Nicholas, recCilinZ. Nv hat manner Of
woman are you? Undo it? Never, while
live! Ny father must bear it. all Of
you must bear il, as such things may be
borne. am neither sorry nor ashamed
that Desia Is my wife; understand that,
ones for all. And shall tell my father
now, as soon as l can.
"Oh. Nicholas. you might wait until
ma and l are at home again. Flora en-
treated. We could 90 no good-and it
would be so-so-uucOmfortable Cor US.
You might show some consideration for
u.s."
Nicholas did not reply for some mo-
ments; when at last he spoke, it was TO
say coldly:
Il viii wait; you shall not be called
upon to take my part.
Flora felt the reproach, but she felt it
