EFFECT OF THE LETTER,


From talks with senators, the indica
tions are that the presidents letter to
Mr. Wilson will precipitate an ANNA.
ted discussion on the floor of the senate
tomorrow.
Mr.. Smith, If the rumors about him
be true, will make speech in which
he will warn the conferses that they
have violated the faith placed in them
when they rsceded from the senate
amendments, and agreed, as has been
reported, that they would accept the
house schedules on woolens cottons,
etc. He will outline the situation as
he sees it and will, it is said, in his con
clusion, tell the senate, tho president,
the country and the house of represent
atlVes that they can accept the senate
bill or no bill at all so far as his vote is
concerned.
Mr.. German will echo the sentiments
that Mr.. Smith will utter, and will
warn the house that if 1t persists in the
course adopted by it today it will end ia
defeating bill which is for the best
interests Of the whole country and
which was the product of very
serious attention on the part Of the
senate and formulated as the only bill
that could hope to meet with success,
Mr.. German, If the statement of his
friends mean anything, is more firmly
ground in his original plan than ever.
MIR. Brice will have few words to say
about the senate bill In which he, too.
will join his colleagues in letting the
country know that it is the senate bill
and not the house bill that is to ulti-
mately become the law of the land.
The idea also prevails in the senate
that the bill will not be defeated. but
that the house will ultimately give in
rather than see no tariff bill pass at all
Mr.. German. with some indignation,
tonight denied the story that had been
circulated to the effect that he had sur.
rendered coal and given his consent
that it should go back on the free list.
MR.. HILL SEES CLEAR SKIES.
When asked what he thought of the
letter of the president. Senator Hill
replied: In the language of the novel,
the plot thickens. / prefer to say
nothing at this time as to the pro-
prlety or wisdom of the letter l.

CHAPTER XII.

''I dare say you think I mean my mother. I know it has been said she was the prime cause of this feud. But she had nothing whatever to do with it, though believe she declined the honor of becoming your grandmother, Major Overton said, sinking wearily back in his chair After minute he went on: II was born in Carolina; was a stout lad of when we came over the noun tains, so I remember very well how Jincey, my mothers maid, moaned and wept on the way, and how the other ne groes laughed and said tauntingly that she was crying for her sweetheart, who had been left behind, though my father triedhard to bring him. Bob's master was willing to part with him, but Bob himself, it seems, had another string to his bow. At any rate, he declined to leave Carolina for a new, unknown country, and six months later some one wrote my mother that he had married the yellow maid of his young masters wife. Jincey was just IS then, slim, supple, stealthy thing, quick as a flash in all her movements. When my mother told her the news that Bob was married, she got ashy and staggered against the wall, but said no word. The next Satur- day night she was married to old Isaac Bell, the most famous conjurer in the country, hideous, toothless old fellow, who looked all of SO. My mother tried in vain to change her purpose. Jincey swore that she loved him; had no use for young niggers. So she had her way, and old Ike became a nightly visitor, his masters plantation lying broadside to ours. Soon Jincey became so slow and careless about her duties that my mother said to her, If you cannot do better. must put you to spinning. Oats whut | want, she said sullenly, and from that day forward she spent her time in her cabin. She was a swift worker when she chose. Often her task was done by noon.
 Afterward she roamed woods and fields,
 staying away sometimes till after mid night. The other negroes stood in mor- tai terror of her; said she was worse conjurer than her old husband, who, odd ly enough. seemed years younger after the marriage.

If, she reason cd, they had not brought her away from the old home, Bob would be her hus- band instead of that hated yellow girls,
 though no doubt, had she married him,
 she would have been glad after little to cast him aside. It was the thwarting of her passion that gave it force and constancy. God forgive me if wrong her. but believe my mother died at her

 ''Are you sane and sobcr?"

 No. I remember now, he has put away every compromise. But, hello! Whats this? Letters from Ridgeley?"

 Under my roof, Mir. Hawkins, you say what you please. Repeat your threats away from it, I will answer them as they deserve ''
 ''You shall suffer for this, Hawkins said, turning upon his heels.
 "No, you will, " said Allen Fauntle- roy, who had come unheard of either contestant and stood bare three feet away.
 Stand aside,' said Hawkins furious 1y, trying to shoulder past. Allen caught him in hard grip, shook him as dog shakes a rat and said through set teeth:
 "You hound, you hound, to threaten an old man in this dastard fashion! Go now, but take this word with you--the minute you dare to speak of anything in that miserable past you sign your own death warrant It touches me, too, re- member. I will shoot you with as little compunction as would mad dog''
 As Hawkins reeled down the steps Allen turned to Major Overton.
 Forgive my intrusion, sir, he said, ''or at least hear my errand before you punish it. You warned me fairly of the, risk ran ill coming, but in spite of it I felt that I must see you here at once again."
 "Will you come within to speal1?'' Major OEerton said, with grave cour- tesy, leading the way to the small office Allen remembered so we'll The old man was spent and shaken in spite of his iron nerve. He sat down heavily, with long sigh, and said as though speech were. painful:
 "Since our last meeting, MT. Faunt leroy, my opinion of you has changed, though unluckily fate has put it out of the power of either of us to change our course of action.''
 'You mean we can never be friends? Believe me, Major Overton, if I had known everything I would never have dared to thrust my presence upon you. When I came to know all the wrong you had suffered, suffer yet, felt that it must henceforth be the purpose of my life to help you to your own.
 The old man looked at him with Q long, farseeing gaze, saying: 'It is my own-justly, honorably my own--but must prove it. I will. can take it on no mans sufferance. I would not lift a fin ger to take it all, save that I must do it to clear my fathers name.'
 Do you not care for fortune?" young Fauntleroy asked.
 The major touched his white hair.
