Mr.. Vandeyenter entered a Wig
orous demurrer, but the program
was not changed.
In his speech the governor ex-
coriated the legislature and dwelt
at some length upon the failure
of that body to pass the King
anti trust bill, and told who he
thought was responsible for its
defeat.
Mr.. Vandeventer followed, and
devoted his speech principally to
caustic criticism ofthe governors
record, especially with reference
to the granting of pardors. He
followed the same lines charac-
terizing his former eloquent
speeches in the campaign.

right to ask, and that is that you leave
this house at once. You could have
sent for your letters, and give you my
word they shall be. returned to you
within the hour
So Henry Ainsley had to turn and
leave the room under the steeliest blue
eyes that were flashing ON the globe at
that moment.
1t was a well conceived stroke for
putting him in a humiliating position
and, it seemed, deserved, for, as she had
said, he could have sent for his letters
instead of presenting himself to a lady
in such an ineXcusably maddened
frame of mind. But of all madness the
lovers has the most method in it, for
who is so inexperienced as not to know
that an enraged lover who wants to
quarrel face to face with her" has
hopes that his cause for quarrel will be
taken away from him?
OF course that was what Ainsley
hoped, but he did not quite admit it to
himself. for the case seemed so plain
that it looked as if he could only be pac-
fled by being made a fool of.
He had not been pacified, and there
had been no effort to pacify him, but he
and the woman he loved had quarreled
bitterly, swiftly, finally, it certainly
seemed.
When his tall figure had passed out
of the drawing room, Imogene sank
down on sofa and stared blankly at
the door for minute. If Ainsley had
seen. her strange expression, it would
certainly have convinced him of one
thing-that she did not know and could
not guess what had brought this storm
upon her head. If he had seen her aft
er she had risen and slowly CROPPED her
way upstairs, like enc blinded, and
thrown herself upon her bed and begun
to weep with slow sobs that seemed to
tear her heart. he would have been con-
WINGED of another-that she loved him
and that was really all the poor fellow
wanted to know.
Imogene had been pleading for months
that she diu not know her mind, but
only yesterday. the day before ST. Val
entine's day, she had confessed to her
self that her heart was his, and she had
gone down to meet her lover today
ready in st. Valentines name to con-
fess her love to him, determined at last
to make him happy, after having teas
ed him with half uncertainty, half
pretended resistance, for months
