"Well," he replied, avoiding her gaze,
'if that isn't the reason | don't know
what it is. Perhaps / had a cause a
good while ago"
"And you have forgotten what it
was" she said, laughing, but In her
laugh there was more of sadness than of
mirth. After q time she asked, do YOU

1t was the Goth of last May. Henry
and Tress sat under the willow. An
other generation of school children had
brought violets from wild places and had
gathered blossoms on the mountain side.
The grave was ablaze with red roses,
white dogwood blossoms and bluebells.
The sun was low. The cows, ringing
their bells, were going home. Henry
told a story which so often he had re-
lated:
THE skirmish was sharp, almost a
battle, and there was danger everywhere,
but John was too brave 10 stand behind
the tree. I was not far away, and the
bullets we're buzzing thicker than bum
blebees IN our meadow. but somehow |
was o afraid Of ihaing hit-rly mind
was centered on John. What difference
could it have mace il / had been shot:'
Don't talk that way" she inter
rupted.
but why should I have cared for my
self? There was nc one Mt home waiting

for q few moments. AN increase in the
firing to the left caused me TO turn in that
direction, and when / looked back John

After returning home it was some
time before Henry had the courage to
call o n Tress Pryor. But n evening
he went to see her. As he entered the
gate he saw her standing on the spot
where she had stood when John came
dashing up to tell her that he was going
TO the war. She reached out and took
his hands, and for time neither Of them
spoke.

In the House. the Democrats were unable to
get a quorum together; there were exactly so
Democratic members in their seats when the
gavel fell
There were few corrections made to the
journal, which again gave Mr.. Reed oppor-
tunity to make some sarcastic remarks. He
called attention to the errors made. He admit
ted that the House had never had q better
clerks desk than it had at present. but he called
attention to the matter so as TO prevent gentle
men on the other side from attacking Republi-
cans on this point.
The Speaker directed the clerk to call the
committee for reports but Mr.. Burrows arose.
and in the quietest tones and with an air of easy
confidence that nobody could possibly object to
his proposition. asked unanimous consent that
the call be dispensed with. aud that members
having reports to make should present them,
subject TO objection.
Mr. Burrows resumed his seat with we'll
feigued surprise when Mr.. Tucker put his veto
on this proposition; but Immediately arose
again and moved that the call be dispensed
with.
Mr. Tucker called for the yeas and nays,
which were ordered. The vote resulted yeas

the House had agreed 10 attend in a body on

In the House the order made yesterday re-
vpking the leaves Of absence did not seem TO
have proiiuced . very gratifying effect 80 far
the Attendance was concerned. as there were
even mere empty seats OIL the Democratic than
on the Republican side.
The Speaker directed the Clerk TO call the
committees for reports. hut Ar. Burrows put q
cog in the legislative wheel by calling Tor the
regular order.
This is the regular order" replied the
Speaker.
But Dir. Burrows contended that il was his
motion to dispense with the call of committees.
The yeas and nays had been ordered on this
motion yesterday. and he thought that the
motion was unfinished business. Tho Speaker
ruled that the motion was one that had died
at the end of yesterdays session.
Mr.. Burrows bIandiy acquiesced. then moved
that the call of committees he dispensed with.
On his motion the vote stood yea /. nays
146-ne quorum; and Dir. Tucker moved a
call OF the House. One hundred and thirty
seven members responded to their names, and
then further proceedings under the call were
dispensed with.
The public business was suspended under
special order. and the House proceeded to pay
tribute to the memory of j. Logan Chapman,
of Michigan, eulogies being delivered by sew
erai REPRESENTATIVES.
The House, at 800, adjourned.

SATURDAY, SEPT. is.

In the Senate a second effort on the part of
Senator Voorhees, to reach an agreement on the
time for closing debate on the repeal bill and
proceeding to vote on the bill and amendments
had no better results than his previous one, ex-
cept that there was sort of intimatioR by
Seuator Teller that no speech had been made
for delay. none would be, and that the question
of closing debate might be over for the present
at least.
Senator Allison made three hours speech,
comprehensive in ideas and argument. in order
TO prove that the true way to rehabiiitste silver
was TO repeal the silver purchase clause, and
thus force England and the other nations of
Europe to come TO an international agreement
on the subject He said in part:
g. do not believe in the policy of piling up
bullion in the Treasury of the United States
and holding il there uneOined. / believe that
that policy is most dangerous policy for silver
of silver.
And / undertake to say that we cannot
continue this purchase of silver without en-
dangering seriously the standard which we
have had since 1873, aud without bringing this
great Nation, with all its opportunities. with all
its wealth. with all its industries and labor to
a silver standard from gold standard, when
the disparity between these values now is well
nigh so per cent.
" Ii is just as plain as the MONDAY sun that
il we 90 on purchasing silver and putting il in
the Treasury as bullion it is only question of
a few months Tor a few years at the nlostt when
we will fail to redeem our obligations in gold.
and then we will be at silver standard. /
believe that Just as much as | believe that
ann at this moment addressing the Senate"
The remainder of the day was given up to
eulogies upon the character and life of the late
Senator Stanford.
