BRIEF AND POINTED.
4 Speaker Who Didn't Have Much to

The pride of visitors to Washington who
90 to the senate chamber or house OF rep.
resentatives to see the congressman or SEN
ator from their district and hear him make
speech is often apparent at the national
capitol.
One man had been observed as a frequent
visitor in the gallery Of the house. A friend
took the seat beside him one day, and warm
greetings were exchanged between the two.
'Have you seen him!' asked the new
conner.
Yes" was the reply, I've seen him.
"Have you had the luck to be here when
he was talking:'
II took care not to miss anything he might
say. I've been here every day
II don't blame you. l only wish L had
the time. The way he woke up those mo-
nopolics and ringsters out home was eau
ton, and then he was only nibbling at the
questions of the day, just getting the flavor
OF the social situation previous to stepping
in and biting out Il chunk or two"
''That's the way / always looked at him.
Il suppose his voice has been ringing out
in clarion tones
''M' yes" was the doubtful rejoinder.
"What did he say" exclaimed the ques-
toner, eagerly. ''I'll bet it was something
brief and to the point"
$50 far as can Judge tried not to let
any of his remarks get away from me, but
Pm afraid that maybe l wasn't watchful
enough. I've only heard him speak five
times. Three of them he said aye and the
other two he said no "-Washington Star.

hope" said. II have been told he
strongly objected to my arrest. And
l know whose influence caused him to
do so.''
Not mine, really" Florence earnest
ly replied. Father believed you were
innocent, and took the stand he did
for that reason. I did not know about
the robbery until after the first meet
ing OF the trustees. 1t was at that
meeting that he opposed your arrest.
L remember he felt quite triumphant
afterward, for most of the trustees in
sisted upon your immediate arrest, and
it was only after father said that he
would never consent to it that they gave
up the point
Now that is pleasant to hear" l
cried, joyfully. What reason have you
to think he has changed his views re-
garding the promise?''
This morning, after we had passed
you, L said: That looked like Nelson
Conway Father laughed ut me, and
answered that it must have been an
hallucination produced by constantly
keeping my thoughts upon YOU"
1t is impossible to describe the fasci-
nation of Florence's manner when she
told me this-how maidenly bashful-
ness blended with loves boldncss, how
the bushes dyed her smooth cheek,
while her eyes shone with u confident,
happy light.
''Then at lunch this noon father
asked me if IL liked you as much as
ever. Liked was not the word he
used, but never mind, We'll use it now
''And what did you answer ?''I asked,
eagerly and expectantly.
THAT not day went by that did
not think of you. And oh. Nelson" she
continued, her voice deep and full in its
carnestness, that was not half the
truth. Why should hesitate to con-
TESS it to you, my dear friend?'
Here l made use of my disengaged
arm. could not help it. I drew her
closely to me. and kissed her blooming
cheek.
II certainly shall not go on if am in.
terrupted,'' Florence said. in gentle re.
mcnstrance.
''What did your father say in an
swer?'' finally asked.
''He said he thought perhaps it was
unjust to both oi us to insist OH your
keeping the PROMISE
"Did he say that ?" I exclaimed. ''Then
Florence" but really it is enough tosay
that the dear girl promised to be my
wife, even though the suspicion should
not be removed from me, providing Mr.
Morley's consent could be gained; and
she moreover promised to do all she
could to help me gain his consent.

Twenty years ago Powers was an en-

and janitor of the courthouse and super
intendent of the chain gang. While
dealing out justice in the old city Jail.
Il Missourian was brought before him
for preliminary hearing upon the
charge of horse stealing. That was
ranked as capital offense in Leadville
in those days, punishable with death.
But the culprit was from Joplin. and
had many friends in the camp. albeit
| the court was crowded with them, all
determined as every true Missourian
! is, to see justice done. In the midst of
the proceedings a stentorian voice was
heard in the rear of the room, shouting:

Cner be discharged"
That was all Powers wanted. To con-
Wet the Missourian would have: been
fatal to his hopes of a reelection, and
without waiting for a second to the
proposition he put the motion to tn,
house and declared it carried unari-
mously. which 1t was. The court then

lion opened up a new train of thought.
Could it be possible that the strange
voice had heard proceeded from the
sealed cellar?
All! 1 suppose the women are SUI

abroad about old, long vacated houses.

New Route to California.

-, A striking confirmation of the truth Of
the saying: 1T is an ill-wind that blows
no one good' is found in the new routing
of the 'Sunset Limited" Heretofore it has
started from New Orleans westward. This
season, on account of the prevalence of vel
low fever in some parts of the south, Chica
go has been decided upon as the terminus,
the route being over Chicago & Alton,
Chicago to st. Louis; St. Louis, Iron Noun
tain l. Southern, st. Louis to Texarkana;
Texas & Pacific, Texarkana to Ell Paso;
Southern Pacific Company, Ell Paso to Cali
fornia destination. The train runs twice u
week, leaving Chicago l:3O p. IN. every
Tuesday and Saturday, and st. Louis 1920
p. m. same days. Eastbound the same
trains leave San Francisco $50 p. m. Mon
days and Thursdays, and Los Angeles 1890
a. m. Tuesdays and Fridays.
Sunset Limited is magnificent train,
completely vestibuled and running through
for gentlemen with barbershop and bath
room; combination ladies' parlor and
compartment car, with wellstocked library.
and ladies' maid in attendance; two of the
finest sleeping cars, and a diningcar, in
which perfect meals are perfectly served.
The dlning-car service is a la carte-pay for
what you order-and prices are reasonable.
A trip across the continent in this train
could not but be 4; delight at any time but
during the winter months there will be spe-
cial satisfaction in the certainty of semi
tropical climate, picturesque and novel
scenery, fast time, and no snow blockades.
And best Of all, no extra fare is charged for
transportation on 'Sunset Limited" only
the regular Pullman rates prevailing for
sleeplng.car accommodations.
