At last the 18th day Of May arrived. 1t was
tacitly understood that upon that evening
would say yes to the patient lover, and the
engagement would be formally announced
before all the world. l was restless all day,
and glad when II o'clock in the evening
found mamma and me at the home of Nine de

As entered became suddenly aware that
1 was the center OF attaction. A line had
formed itself on either side, and little obs! of
surprise and abs! Of admiration went deep
into my heart.
N de Courtalin came up to US. He wanted
to ask my hand for all the waltzes. for all

life.

fatigued."
My eyes roamed istIessly over the ballroom,
and perceived, with a star, two other eyes,
fixed, settled upon me-two eyes that I knew
well. but found 1t difficult to recognize, so big
had they grown in that concentrated, wonder
ing look.
Suddenly the owner arose and turned to-
ward me. A glance aside showed me Courta-
lin slowly and laboriously making hts way to-
ward me from another corner. Ny cousin

Then 1t became race between the two men.
Gontran intrepridly cut through all the waltz
ers, but he reached me before Courtalin; he
came up to me precipitately; he caught my
hand, he put his arm about me.
We danced gayly, wildly, furiously. What
a waltz. He said to me, II love you. love
you! You are grace and beauty itself. There
is not another women here half so lovelyI

that my heart melted. He found me new

grown taller and fuller.
But Just then mamma came in, then papa,
and then my brother George. An odious
conversation regarding the merits of English
and French boats followed--how the French
boats made better time, how the food on
them was so much finer, and so on. 1t
was so enjoyable!
1t was not until three days after that we
met him again by accident. but he was no
longer himself; he was icy; his good-morning
was icy, the shake Of his hand was ley, his
words icy. He was awkward and embar-
rassed. He quickly lost us in the crowd, and
reappeared no more.
I returned to throw myself once more into
the arms Of my mother and cry out: ''Yes.

Republican Senators Tactics on the
Tariff Bill.

Republican Senators Tactics on the
Tariff Bill.
The Republican Senators by their votes yester-
day and also in private indicated the
purpose of voting for the amendments proposed
by the Democratic compromise committee
wherever they increase the duties and change
from the ad valorem to the specific system.
1t is understood that this question Of policy
was under discussion by the Republican ad-
yisory committee and that whfis ma
jority of those present counseled this course,
the decision was not unanimous. 1t Is one OF the
questions which will be discussed at the Republi-
cancaucus which is to be held on Monday night
Among other matters which probably will also
receive attention at the hands of the caucus Is
that of the policy TO be pursued in debating the
tariff bill There are some Republican Senators
who hold that If the Republicans are to pursue
the policy of aiding the Democrats in pcrfectinR
the bill by voting for the amendments 1t is use
less to prolong the debate and extend the session
merely to have the bill pass in the end in the
shape the Democrats desire it, as expressed In
their caucus.
The proceedings of the Senate yesterday have
served to emphasize the intention OF the Repnb-
lican Senators to exploit every phase Of the ques-
tions presented in every paragraph, and oil the
Democrats TO permit the Republicans TO consuine
the greater part Of the time that is to be devoted
to talking.
Yesterdays speeches the Republican side
were calculated to arouse the Democratic mana-
tan:alizing as speeches could well be under tne
rules OF the Senate, but they were only partiaiy
successful in provoking Democrats to response
They express themselves privately as deter
mined to adhere TO this policy and only 70 eA.
plain the provisions of tho bill when satished
that questions asked in good faith, ana hot
for the purpose OF delay 1t was noticeable that
the Democrats, with the exception of senator
Mills stood by the committee RECOMMENDATIONS
on all votes. Senators Hill and Irby, concerning
whose position there has been speculation, were
absent, but Senator Murphy, whose position mas
been considered somewhat doubtful, $1,000 WIN
his party,
This practically solid vote on the Democratic
side has given the Republicans no little concern
as they have been hopeful OF creating diversion
among the Democrats
Some of them predict that the cohesion SO iar
displayed will not continue, but the best inior-
nation obtainable at this time Indicates lhat,
however unsatisfactory the bill is TO NUMBER OF
the Democrats, il will continue for the present at
least to receive the voting support OF all ihe
Democratic sehators with possibly one or TWO eA-
