that's true. will think about it. OF
course, you did your best, and appre-
.ciate your efforts; but am sorry you

You are not half so, sorry as LAM"
said Rivers, as he picked up his big Can
adian fur coat and took his leave.
81 The editor did think about it. He
thought for full two minutes. Then he
Y dashed off note on q sheet Of paper,
pulled down the little knob that rang
the district messenger alarm, and when
the uniformed boy appeared gave him
the note, saying:
"Deliver this as quickly as you can"
The boy disappeared, and the result
of his trip was soon apparent in the ar
rival of a very natty young woman in
the editorial rooms. She was dressed
: in a neatly fitting tabernacle costume,
and was very pretty girl, who locked
about 10, but was, in reality, considera-
bly, older. She had large, appealing
blue eyes, with tender, trustful ex-
nary man say: What a. sweet, inno-
cent look that girl has," yet what the
young woman didn't know about New
York was not worth knowing. She
boosted that she could get state secrets
from dignified members Of the cabinet.
and an ordinary senator or congress
man she looked upon as her lawful
prey. What had been told to her in the
strictest confidence had often become
the sensation Of the next day in the pa
per she represented. She wrote over a
nom de guerre, and had tried her hand
at nearly everything. She had answered
advertisements, exposed rogues and
swindlers and had gone to a hotel as
chambermaid in order to write her ex.
periences. She had been arrested and
locked up so that she might write
three-column account for the Sunday
edition of the Argus, of "How Women
Are Treated at Police Headquarters"
The editor looked upon her as one Of
the most valuable members of his staff,
and she was paid accordingly.
She came into the room with the self
possessed air of the owner of the build.

editor, and said:i "Well?"

The young woman's eyes twinl<led.
She liked anything with a spice Of dam:
ger in it, and did not object to hear that
she was expected to succeed where a
mere masculine reporter had failed.

stepped out on the deck, and found it
not atall as dark as they expected. Lit
tie globes of electric light were placed
at regular intervals in the walls of the
deck building. Overhead was stretched
a sort of canvas roof, against which ths
slecty rain battered. One Of the sailors.

gutter by the side of the ship the mois-

Chicago. June 3o-The conference of
the bimetallic committee was called to
order at the Sherman house a few min
utes past II o'clock today by Senator
Harris of Tennessee, who is chairman
of the organization. There was present
a quorum of members of the comm Wee
and a large number of distinguished sil-
yer democrats, including Senators Harris
and Bate Of Tonnessee Jones cf Arkan-
sas. Turpie of Indiana. Daniel OF Nir-
gina, Cockrcl of Missouri. ex-senator
Martin of Kansas. Governor Stone of
Missouri. congressman McMilrn and
Richardson of Tennessee. ox-CDnrress-
men Bryan of Nebraska and Snodgrass
of Tennessee.
The first meeting was devoted largely
to instructions and cxchang. Of WIS
as to tho outlook fer the approaching
convention.
The opinion was generally expressed
that thsre would be no question as to
the absolute control of the convention bv
the silver forces. There was more or less
individual discussion of Mr. Whi,neys
attitude among the delegates aud 1t was
noted that there was no expression on
the part Of any one favorable to VI ld,ng
anything to the gold standard element.

to his illness had been expected SO soon.
When rumor got abroad several days ago
that he was sinking. it was vigorously de-
MED at the sanitarium, where it was given
out that he was getting better.
Mr.. Crisp was the choice of the Demo-
Gratis of Georgia to succeed Senator John
B. Gordon in the United States senate and
would have been chosen to that position
by the legislature at its approaching ses-
sion had he lived. His untimely death
throws the political situation into chaos,
and makes the choice of senator matter
of great uncertainty The legislature is al
most unanimously for free silver, however,
and whoever is named will be an advocate
of that policy. Mr.. Crisp has been at the
Holmes sanitarum five weeks. suffering
from malarial fever. The immediate cause
Of his death was heart failure.
Mr.. Crisp had been in intense pain all
day. Every few minutes he would suffer
greatly. But no danger was feared at
such an early moment. His wife. together
with the sanitarium nurse, Mrs. Sharp,
was watching at his bedside.
About a quarter Of o'clock Mt. Crisp
