| Apply days when he and she had plan
led and furnished the cottage.
A sudden flash of vivid lightning and
a shrill feminine shrek.
och, Mrs. Brennan. if only I had q
key we could get in here! And porches
and trees are SO dangerous!'
Jack rose to his feet, the sleeping
child still clasped in his arms. There
was no installing that voice. Tor an
instant he hesitated, then threw open
the door.
Two women crouched in the portal.
One was middle aged and haggard, her
sleeves rolled up to her elbow and her
apron tossed over her head. The 9TH
err was young and dainty and fair to
look upon even in her fearful fright
They rose and faced the sudden vision
in the doorway
The older woman gave scream, half
of anger, half of joy.
TITS me Kid! Where did We fond
him?' Then, without waiting for reply,
she jerked the sleeping child from Girls
wold's arms and fell to weeping and
scolding over him in true Irish fash
ion.
Ten minutes later the storm died
down as suddenly as it had risen, and
Mrs Brennan and her Kid" duly pro-
vided with car fare, were vending their
way toward the nearest trolley line
The younger woman still stood at the
window, staring out upon the weeds
which hung heavy with moisture. She
tapped her fingers mechanically on the
window pane.
Il had gone over to Mrs. Brennan's
for shirt waist 1 needed" she re-
marked suddenly, as if she felt that an
explanation was obligatory, land she
was nearly crazy about the kid
felt so sorry for her, and we kept walk
ing and walking, and every one had
seen the little boy, they said, and we
followed the trail till we got here
and"-
She turned suddenly and faced Girls
void, who was regarding her anxious

pleading face and his generally de-
moralized attire was ludicrous. The
departing kid" had left as mementos

rice and mud on Griswold's soft flannel
suit. One grimy hand had evidently
found resting place on Jacks smooth
shayen cheek.
Meta Harris stopped laughing and
exclaimed:
"Oh, to think you'd be so good to that
miserable Kid You've made me feel
$3.50 mean and Insignificant" Her
face was very sober now do you
think, Jack, you could forgive ME,
and
"Bless that 'Kidv" exclaimed Jack
as they walked home in the twilight.
Meta had resolutely refused to board
trolley car in consideration Of jacks
soiled raiment. when we get settled,
the little chap can play up here every
Saturday"
Eyes," unused Meta, 81 always said
that boy would do something worth
while.'

Three hnocking.

The measure providing state hood for New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma, will be reported to the house on Friday in the for of an omnibus bill, says a special dispatch from Washing ton to the Denver News. Altho the New Mexico people claim they stand a better show for ad- mission to statehood than either Oklahoma or Arizona, they are willing that all three of the bills shall go in togetherfor the sake of a more favorable considera- tion on the part of the democrats.
 1t is claimed that the political complexion of both New Mexico and Oklahoma are decididly re- publican, while Arizona has a leaning towards the democracy. Should New Mexico or Oklaho- ma therefore be put forward as the likely candidates the demo- cratic votes in the house might be lacking. The republicans on the other hand might not con. sent to Arizona's being pushed forward. Comprised in an omni- bus bill three territories will have an apparently equal show, and there is little doubt of the bill being passed in the house. A hanging up is predicted in the senate, although Delegate Rodey exhibits figures ill connection with that side of congress that are most convincing. Senators Penrose and Quay of Pennsylva- ilia are said to be working for the bill. Senator Elkins, former ly of New Mexico, will of course support it, and with the advoca- cy of all the western men, both democrats and republicans, the statehood bills, according to MT. Rodey, will see daylight even ill the senate.
