the resolution to the committee IN
the Senate is not known except IN
the inner circles of the Republican
members. Its long sleep in the com
mittee gave rise TO the suspicion that
the Republicans did not want to pass
it. but to hold the Legislature open TO
accept a proposition from the syndl-
cate. Tt looks as if it was the inten-
tion of the Republicans of the Senate
to stave off consideration of the reso-
luton till the time comes for adjourn
ment and not to pass it at all. The
Democratic members, however VIII
not let the matter rest.

In the meantime Mac was waiting for
us in an appointed place not far away,
where Joined him, and we went to the
obscure tavern, where the room had
been engaged. George was awaiting US.
So far our plan was successful. Mac
was safely hidden away, while his
clever friend was speeding miles away
on wild goose chase. There was only
one train day each way, and we knew
the detective could not get back to Rio
until late. We felt certain when he
found Mac was not on the train he
would think his intended victim had
slipped off at some way station-pos-
sibly with view Of making his escape
into the interior Even if he sent dis
patch to the bank-an unlikely thing for
a Brazilian to dot would doubtless
be to the effect that his quarry had left
Rio on the early train that morning
with him.
We passed some trying hours together
Then George left to take Macs baggage
off to the steamer. He engaged two stall
wart porters. They stand on every corner
busily engaged in plating straw for
hats while waiting for job. Dividing
the baggage between the two, he had it
carried to the wharf, and taking small
boat quickly had it slowed in the hold
and the small articles carried to the
stateroom. Soon after he Joined us on
shore.
It was but 10 o'clock when George
Joined us, and 1t was with something
like dismay we realized that the whole
day was before Us. Until the day be-
fore, when Mao was in the bank, I had
never known how long an hour was, but
this day we all came to know how long
day could be.
At last the long day drew to an end,
and the shadow, to our intense relief,
began to darken in our little room,
where we were holding our watch. The
tropio night closes quickly in. Soon the
city was shrouded in darkness, and we
sailed out to the beach at the head OF
the bay to find relief in movement The
time passed quicker then, and at last we
sat down on some wreckage there and
watched the tropio night as it revealed
it's wealth Of stars, and sitting there we
moralized upon the destiny Of man and
his relations to things seen and unseen,
