The installment house lay at the bot
tom of the trouble. Mrs. Mitchell.
yielding to seductive advertisements,
furnished the third story front and
found herself obliged to rent the room
to meet the weekly payments.
The roomer introduced himself as
Mr.. James Pcar.2y, entry clerk at The
Empire department store. His fellow
clerks called him dresSy. Mrs. Mitchell
stood somewhat in awe of his frock
coat and silk hat. Mary pronounced
his taste in ties as Just lovely" And
Jim Hollis? What he thought of Pcarley
and what he said at times are not for
publication.
The circle of society in which the
Mitchels and Holliscs moved did not
consider the formal announcement Of
an engagement necessary, but that
wedding would follow Jim's years of
devotion to Mary none of their ac-
quaintances doubted-that is, until Mr..
Pcarlcy rented the third story front.
She, of course, told him all about
Jim. but explained that he had been
friend of her father, covertly trying
to give the impression that Jim was
nothing more to her than "a humble
friend"
When Jim called one Sunday. Mary
had gone to church with Mr.. Pearley.
He didn't feel jealous exactly. just
hurt and depressed. He realized that
he looked clumsy" in his Sunday best
clothes. and his gloves were wet with
pcrSpiration. He was aware that his
necktie was never just right. because
Mary always criticised it. 1t seemed
that styles in these things changed
over night.
Jim regarded his work as very Ordi-
nary also. He was glad to know that
IIogan's ship rigging firm considered
him their smartcst man. The most diff
fcult and dangerous pieces of work
were his by right. This did not make
him look less like fool in q high hat
and for that reason brought him no
nearer to Mary. 1t is doubtful if he
would ever have known how TO solve
the problem if one of the daily papers
had not sent a reporter to write up the
riggcr'S trade. Jim was dumfOunded
at the reporters admiration.

Adam knitted his brows. After a mo-

fully:
MY love, l had been led to believe
that there was nothing in these stories
of feminine indirection; but, in view
of the fact that as yet there are no
other women, no department stores and
no silk dresses with applique trim

r.riH Reduction bill.

1t has been suggested that he plan to
have the ways aud means committee take
up the whole tariff question during the
summer vacation with the purpose Of
bringing in tariff reduction bill at the
opening of the short session next winter.
The fact that this work is under way may
stem the tide in the oncoming campaign
and insure a republican majority in the
fifty eighth congress. That body in such
an event would be pledged TO tariff reduc-
ton, and in the meantime there would be
hercuean efforts to accomplish something
during the short session of the present
congress.
1t may be that when the east reads
message such as President Roosevelt Is
capable Of writing on this question 1t may
change its tactics and consent to the
ratification of some OF the pending trea-
ties. 1t surely would be better, even
from their point Of view. to hold the
present law intact. temporarily ana pro-
yisionally changing some of it's proVl-
sions with a few countries, than perrna-
nently to lower all its schedules Tor the
whole world.
1t will be gratifying to the great west
where Senator Hanna is now well known
and very popular, to know that ne STANDS
where President Mckinley and Represen-
tatiye Dingley stood and is heartily BACK
ing President Roosevelt in his efforts TO
bring the republican party face ABOUT on
this great question.
