of the white shawl hurrying across

oh, no, don't mention It, 1t was a
kindness to myself indeed But You
won't think more hardly of us than
you can help" she added, In softer
tone Perhaps father can't help
himself; he has just got into that
state of mind that he cares for moth
money. And ! guess you think I'm
hard girl to speak so, but Mr.. Myers
will tell you I've got reason not to let

They soon reached the orchard.

Now, you go back and thank you

Senator Cantor Says the Raines Bill
Won't Stand.

Albany, March l4.-Senator Jacob A.
Cantor said yesterday: Il am reason
ably certain that the courts OF this
state must declare that the Raines ex-
else bill was passed In violation OF
the constitution. II was said by the
speaker that IL was an open session Of
the assembly. This contention Is abb
surd, as the members were not per-
mitted TO leave, nor were citizens OF
this stafe, who had business with the
assembly or It's membership, permit
ted TO enter or to communicate even,
except by secret methods. with any
member OF that body. These high
handed proceedings were a fitting eli
max TO the methods employed by those
who have had this bill in charge from
the time OF its introduction. II has
never been carefully considered and
members OF both houses were denied
the privilege OF amending the bill IN
any particular, because the infamous
gag had been applied through the eau
Gus rule"
The bill passed by vote OF 81 to SO
amid scene almost OF riot. Seven
teen republicans voted with the demo-
Gratis against the BILL

They waited for a full hour after
supper, Loo being busy all the time
doing up the tea things and setting the
dining-room in order, damping down
the clothes she had washed in the
morning, ready to iron on the morrow
all the while talking and entertaining
her visitor.
The sun was now quite down. but
the white and fleecy moon which Alec
had seen on his way thither had now
become yellow and lambent lengthcn-
ing the brief twilight and ere long
shining as never before had he seen
her shine.
Your atmosphere is very clear out
here" he remarked; the stars look SC
large and the moon so brilliant | be

"Oh, yes" she said, handing him a
book, try it. | have read by moon

Alec tried the experiment and was
delighted,
Il think" she said seeing il is
such fine moon and no sign Of father
coming, We might go over to Mr.
Myers and see what he says. 1t is as
bright as day and Mrs, Myers and he
will come back part of the way with
me.
Cannot | come back with you, when
it is for me you are going to all that
trouble?"
"No-Id like you well enough to
come; it isn't that; it's because if we
go | shall leave you there" she said,
with decision.
Alec was nonplussed. There was a
quiet, determined masterfulness about
the girl that reminded him not little
of his own mother just then. He be
came more and more curious about old
man Hill.
Loo threw a white shawl over her
head and calling to the old woman who
lay in the room upstairs that she
would be back in an hour or little
more, she whistled the dog to her and

the direction of Joshua Myers farm.
The night was still and warm, a
faint piney scent came up from the
wood On the grass the shadows Of the
trees thrown by the moonlight lay
clear and black as a japanese draw
ing; the shrill, long-drawn, creaking
monotone Of the bullfrog came up
from the marshy ground on the fats
below.
As Loo let down the bars Of the
orchard gate she remarked
Il hope you will like this country.
Are your parents living"
II was the first question she had
asked him regarding himself and IN
the moonlight she did not see the red
flush which few hot to his cheek as
he answered
MY mother Is living"
You ought TO be happy and do well,
then, she said; + wish | had my
mother"

If your father will only hire me, |
am strong and will be glad to help you
as much as ever | can" said Alec.
feeling another twinge of that pity he
had experienced before Why, he
could not have said, unless ii was that
the weary, wistful look that showed
unconsciously in her young eyes was
inconsistent with her youth. She was
only 10; she looked % and some
times So
She did not seem at all anxious to
secure his promised help; on the CON
trary, to his surprise she said next:
I'm tell you where would be a splen-
did place for you-on farm little
way from here. You would do well
there; the farmer is a good, kind man,
his hired men always come back to
him: you should try him. His name
is Joshua Myers"
why, it was he who brought me
out here" exclaimed Alec.
What! Did Mr. Myers really recon-
you?"
Alec was taken aback
NO; he didn't exactly recommend
him. But he said he wanted man
and he thought might try"
Look here, Mr.-ah, what is your
Nance"

We'll, Alec Marin, if can get Mr..
Myers to make room for you, won t
you go there?" she said, eagerly.
"Of, of course, if you don't want to
have me here l know | am a green
horn, as you call strangers from the
old country. But | am young and
strong and willing; l have had a good
education and am determined to get
on and make money"
Yes, | know" she responded,
quietly. that's why | don't want you
to come here. l don't want you to
get disguised and discouraged like
some of us. You will get to like the
country and our ways If you get in
with Mr.. Myers"
Il like Mr.. Myers already When |
rode out with him he struck me as
being very kind indeed
We'll, if he is willing to take you
on trial you will go? Please say you
will"
Il will do whatever you say. Only.
he said he had all the hired men he
wanted. And your father, if he hears
| have been here and he should want
a man, won't he be dispeased?"
Il shall tell my father when he
comes" she answered There are
plenty of hired men who are accus-
toned to the work and know what to
get for it and can hold their own;
that's the kind for this farm. | should
go mad if saw you here; you are diff
ferent from them. We had one young
fellow, a student; there will never
come another if | can help it. The
work killed him. Father don't look
at these things as | do, but there are
things | can't get out of my head, and
| know God will remember them if
we don't"
