years ago. he was hooted ana howied at,
there. This year, he was received with
open arms and saluted as a hero and q
leader
But there are other things than these.
On Friday, the senate had a motion be
fore il to adjourn until Monday Senator
Allison of Iowa, member OF the committee
OF finance speaking in the absences OF
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the commit
tee, opposed the motion on the ground
that the finance bin should be discussed
and out OF the way. Let me quote the
Congressional Record of that day some
what:
Senator Alhson-I object to the motion
unless our friends on the other side will
say to US that they do not wish on tomor-
row "a continue the debate On the finan-
cial bill
Senator Jones of Arkansas do not
know Of any senator on this side who
desires TO take the floor at this time on
the fnancia bill
Senator AlIison-Or for tomorrow?
Senator Jones of ADMINISTRATORS for
tomorrow or the next day.
Senator Allison-In the absence Of the
senator from Rhode Island-Mr. Aldrich-
he asked me to caH attention to the fact
that the weeks and days are passing
without a discussion OF This bell. and TO
urge its discussion in the senate so Ear as
1t properly may be done. OF course, II
there Is no debate in view, and no one
wishes to speak upon that question, I do
not object TO adjourning over, but GER
tainly it ought not to be made a reason
for asking or suggesting a postponement
OF a final vote upon the financial bill
upon the day already fixed by unanimous
consent
Senator Jones-There will be no proposi-
ton TO postpone the bill. The time agreed
on to vote; senators know that they have
that time
This tells the story, except that Senator
Teller is the only senator so far to talk
against the bill. This is significant when
it be remembered that few years ago,
not single speech on any subject what
ever could be made in the senate without
the opposition bringing In silver. 1t was
talked TO death, apparently, judging from
the present apathy.
The plan, then. is simply this: Place
silver in the platform. AS an oSteusIble
reason for its abandonment after the con-
yention, charge that there could be nc
action; no free coinage laws; while the
senate is Republican. Have Colonel Bryan
keep on talking silver until the conven-
ton; then cease 1t. All this 70 be used
to win the easter Democratic vote. SO
sorely esrtanged from the silver PROPOSE
ticn.
The question resolves into this: WI the
western men, whose sole reason for vot-
ing for Colonel Bryan and the rest Of the
ticket he represents. down To road over
seer. consnt to be duped and sacrificed
for the sake of their leader winning
some thousands Of votes in the east?
VIII they for the sake Of something that
IS dear to them. knowing the situation
and plans, persist in voting for the man
who will do this? These questions cam
not be answered ;untn after the day in
November, this year. which win decide
the national election. But it IS a matter
which the western voter Will revolve in
his mind until NE comes TO a conclusion
that will satisfy him.

Every Thanksgiving day brought the
Pettibones together under the old home
roof 1t was the great day of the year
for them, and nothing could bring keen
er disappointment to young or old than
to be prevented from celebrating 1t un-
der the old time honored custom, which
they had been brought up to regard
quite as much in the light of duty as a
pleasure.
Aunt Cindy, busy over the concoction
of the "punkin' pies for which she
was famous throughout all Lilbury
"and the region roundabout" was
thinking Of dead and gone Thanksgiy-
ings. AS she beat a bowl of eggs into
golden froth her thoughts went back to
that Thanksgiving day ten years ago
when a shadow fell upon her lifea
shadow that had never lifted. True, but
few eyes saw it nowadays, but it was
in her heart yet, and all the sunshine
of her quiet, peaceful life could not dis
pei it.

she said to herself as she sifted sugar
crystals into the foaming mass. "Per-
haps he's dead. Who knows? Ten
years is long time, and great many
things may happen in them"
If tear or two fell into the bowl,
do not think the pies were any the
worse for them. Perhaps they gave
them better flavor

Grant had been her lover long ago.
Everybody had said sft was going to
be match" between them, and in this
case everybody" had good reasons for
thinking so, for, though no formal en-
gagement had ever existed between
them, there had been a tacit under
standing Of the heart which it is never
necessary to put into words to make
ones meaning and intention plain. But
on that Thanksgiving day ten years
ago there had arisen some misunder-
standing which had parted them. Just
what it was about Lucinda could not
tell now as she thought about it. ''We
were both so foolish, so unreasonable"
she had often told herself. ''To think
Of letting two lives be parted by some

dropped into comfortable rocking

Lucinda put her hand to her collar.
