CHAPTER VII.
The Moment Draws Near.

The Moment Draws Near.
jamie Iyer had been brought up to know
her own mind; 1t was the eleventh COM
mandment in the liver household. liver
entertained the Intellectual, his wife the
moral, objection to shilly-shallying; their
daughters training, while conducted with
all kindness, had been eminently sensible,
and early days had offered few tempta-
lions to stray from the path of the OBJ
viously desirable. The case was different
now; riches brought a change; the world
revealed it's resources; life was spreading
out it's divers wares. jamie was much puz-
Zled as to what she ought to do, more to
what she wanted to do, most of all as to
what she would in the end do-unless, in
deed. the fact that she was puzzled con-
tinued to rank as the greatest puzzle Of
all.
Naturally the puzzles We're personifed,
or the persons made into puzzles. Men
became lives to her, as well as individuals
the Tristram, the Duplay, the Broadley
life; her opinion of the life complicated
her feeling toward the person. The iris
tram life attracted her strongly, the life
of. the great lady; Harry had his fascina-
ton, too; yet she did not think that she
and Harry would be very happy together,
woman and man. The Duplay life prom
ised another sort of joy; the majors ex-
perience was worldwide his knowledge
various his conversation full Of hints of
the unexplored; she would be broadening
her life IL she identified it with his. Lastly,
there was that quiet Broadley life to be
transformed in some degree doubtless by
her wealth, yet likely to remain in essen
tials the peaceful, homeiy existence which
she knew very well
She found herself thinking, in terms
specifically repugnant to convention, that
she would like to pay long visits to the
other men, but have Bob to come home
to when she was inclined for rest and
tranquility. Her perpiexity was not
strange In itself, but 1t was strange and
views about shilly-shallying. she was
angry with herself and inclined to be
ashamed.
Judged from the outside she was not
open to blame IN her attitude toward
Harry; he was not in love with her and
hardly pretended to be.
Nor had Duplay any cause of complaint
in being kept waiting: he would be held ex-
ceedingly lucky not to be sent to the right
about instantly. But with Bob BrOadley
the matter was different. On the subtle
question of what exactly constitutes ZEN

these cases Ii Is not perhaps necessary to
arise from her visits to Mingham from
her habit of riding up the road by the
river about the time when Bob would be
likely to be riding down It, or Of saunter-
ing by the pool on the days when he drove
his gig into Bientmouth on business-all
this being beyond and outside legitimate
meetings at Fairholme itself. Unless she
meant to marry him she might indeed raise
hopes that were false.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE report OF
the special congressional committee
which Investigated the haZing of Ca
Diet BooZ and the general subject OF
hazing at West Point has been sub
mitted to the house Of representatives
by Chairman Dick OF the committee
together with bill making stringent
regulations against haZing. fighting
| and all brutal practices.
| The report is an exhaustive review
| Of the practice Of hazing in all its

nevertheless. a singing arraignment
of the many alleged brutal practices

men. and describes them in detail.
One OF the funny formations" de-
scribcd is that practiced On Philip
Sheridan. Jr.. who was compelled to
ride a broomstick 'in mockery OF his
| illustrious fathers achievement at
Winchester" The report states that
a system of fighting has grown up
which is shocking in its character.
The fights are described and the COM
mttee states that the West Point code
Is more vicious than the Queensberry
code.
The committee held that fighting is
the worst form Of hazing The re-
port says that such fighting as that
at West Point is a
Felony in Many Of the States.
and the time has come when congress
must decide whether fights. which are
high crimes elsewhere, shall continue
at West Point.
The committee finds that Cadets

hazed until they tainted while others
were hazed until they We're sick.
The hazing of Cadets Booz and

committee does not attribute their

port adds.

BROUGHT IN A LIVE BEAR.
Wyoming Man LassOed the Great
Shaggy Beast and Then Led 1t
to the Ranch.

John W. Chapman, who recently sold
his ranch on Pat O'Hara creek, one of
the finest properties in the Big Horn
basin, to John P. Allison, a wealthy
banker of Des Moines, is known as
one of the most expert bear hunters
in the section about Cody, Wyo. Dur
ing a recent visit of Allison to the
Chapman ranch the banker asked
Chapman to bring in a bear. Think
ing the Iowan meant live bear, Chap
man set out to do or die. One even
ing he caught sight of large black
bear on a ledge of rocks. Stealing
around behind bruin, Chapman cast
his lariat and succeeded in roping the
bear securely around the neck.
Mounting his horse, Chapman set out
for the ranch at break-neck speed, the
bear ambling along behind, too bad
ly frightened to resist or put up a
fight When the ranch was reached
the bear was too exhausted to fight,
and a pack of stag hounds quickly dis
patched him.

GIVEN TITLE BY SULTAN.
Alexander r.. webb, of New York,
Made an Honorary Consul Gem
eraI of Ottoman Empire.

A copy of the official paper of Con-
stantinople, which has just been re-
ceived at New York, announces that
the sultan of Turkey has appointed
Alexander r. Webb honorary consul
general of the Ottoman empire at
New York 1t is permanent appoint
ment. The sultan also has honored
Mr.. Webb with a decoration. Besides
the Medjidie decoration, as 1t is
called, he has given him what is known
as the medal of merit. In Turkey this
is considered great honor.
These decorations carry with them
the title of hey, and hereafter, instead
of being Webb Effendi, he will be
known as Webb Bey.
Mr.. Webb has been a resident OF
New York city and of Rutherford, n.
j., for the last ten years or more. He
is now travelling in Europe, but will
return to New York the latter part of
October. He was consul for the United
States at Manila during the first
Cleyeland administration, and while
in the Philippines embraced the reli-
gion of Mohammed.
Mr. Webb was born in Hudson, N. Y,
and is about SO years old. He was for
many years a reporter on st. Louis
newspaper.

r 7 HAD been three years since Ro

7 HAD been three years since Rob-
ert Bramleigh had flung away
from Vonda Riebhardt in a pet be-
cause she had danced a schot-
ti&che with Harry Prior that ne
had thought belonged to him.
They were both young and both
proud, so that somehow the eX-
pected reconciliation had never taken
place. The Spanish war had broken
out and Bramleigh had enlisted at
once. He had called on Vonda just
before he had left for the Philippines,
bat his time of coming had been I'M
fortunate in that he CHANGED upon a
roOmful of visitors and found him
self unable to make his adieuX in pri-
Yate.
For three years VOnda had waited
to hear from him, but the expected
letter had never come, and now she
must make up her mind whether she
would marry Harry Prior or not. She
had never cared for him in the way
she had cared for Robert Bramleigh,
but then she liked and respected him
thoroughly. He was a good fellow,
well to do, and she knew her family
were eager for the match. 1t was
unlikely that she would ever find a
man more worthy, and there were
financial reasons why she ought not
to burden her father any longer than
she could help.
Besides, Rob Bramleigh had never
told her in so many words that he
loved her. She had known it, to be
sure, but that belonged to her dead
past, the romance of her life that
had faded to wistful memory. Why
had he never written? Why had he
delayed to speak SO long? Oh, if he
cared for her, why had he been cruel!
She remembered the words of a poem
she had once read and liked:
80, words of love that are unspoken,
You do us grieVous wrong,
For hearts grow weary, yea, and broken,
If silence lasts too long"
Her heart had been weary with three
years of waiting, and-must waiting
