Why do birds live so much longer
than mammals. which are often a hun

That evening. in the modest apart
ments he had rented. General Garden
told Jessie the story OF his downfall.
Randolph Morris was his principal
creditor. and negotiations were then
In progress by which he hoped to
transfer his J.. & o. stock 70 Mr.. Nor.
ris, in consideration Of a loan which
would enable him to settle with his
minor creditors.
III Mr.. Morris refuses to extend this
accommodation I shall be in lasting
disgrace faltered General Garden.
Jessie Garden had listened quietly.
Until that day she had given little
thought to the problem which ever
confronts the great mass Of mankind
how shall we live, w~herewithal shall
we be fed. clothed and housedf The
little room IN which they sat looked
mean and want-haunted. The faded
carpet the cheap wallpaper, the taw-
dry decorations, the low and married
ceiling. the wailing OF a sick child
through the thin partition, the odor
of 4 kitchen. the rumble of traffic over
a cobblestone pavement-surely this
was a dream from which she would
awaken TO ind herself In the stately
mansion on the great boulevard.
Yet It was not a dream. At the
sound OF the name OF Arthur Morris
the past and the present stood before
her In glazing cOlors. She must be
brave: she would be brave. With that
superb insight which nature gives to
woman, the plot devised by Arthur
Morris lay bare before her eyes. Her
father was enmeshed in the net which
had been set for her. To release him
must she be caught in the tolls?
The Bishops had purchased a resi-
denee in New York, and there was
waiting for Jessie a letter from her
aunt inviting her TO spend April and

Morris stood a few steps back OF
Jessie and devoured her with his eyes.
He noted the soft folds OF her hair,
1.-THE rounded curves OF her neck, and
as one spell-b3und watched her deft
fingers as they glided over the surface
OF the sketch book.
With a little sigh OF disappointment
Jessie dropped the folio on her lap.
Not In months had she drawn with
less skill What could be the matter?
She felt oppressed and under some ma
iign influence. In%stinctively she
turned and looked ~squarely into the
ardent eyes and eager face Of Arthur
Morris. With an involuntary CRY OF
surprise, fear and vexation. she sprang
TO her feet, the sketch book falling to
the floor.

Morris, with stimulated establishment

She turned and entered the gallery.
Morris stood as II riveted to the floor
-dazed. ashenfaced and speechless.
Obeying a wild impulse. he rushed
after her. but halted &C the door.
With a smothered oath he retraced his
steps, and hailing his goodman, drove
through Inter der Linden.
For the second time In his life the
fact had been forced upon him that
there were ambitions beyond the reach
OF his money. The thought envenomed
him. Again he made a vow that Jessie
Garden should be his. His heavy lips
parted IN a suilen smile as he pictured
her surrender. The longer Il was de-

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IL
Senator Quarles' bill to repeal the

orably reported from the senate COM
mittee on public lands. The bill,
which has been the subject of much
contention in and out of the commit
tee for two years, authorizes the sec
retary of the interior to dispose Of
rights to cut timber on public lands by
public sale or otherwise. The proceeds
Of such sale of rights is to be covered
into the public treasury to the credit
of the fund for reclaiming arid lands.
No bill introduced in congress in
several years has been pushed with
more yigor by it's friends or fought

Ouarles which provided for the repeal
of the timber and stone act, the desert

Of the homestead law. For two years
