Senator HO@p's Form
By William j. Hampton

A PARTY of travellers on a sleeper
n out of Washington were talking
about the late Senator Hoar. when
Senator McCreary OF Kentucky told this
story
My election to the United States
Senate in 1000 was rather peculiar
he said Our new Constitution saws
that the election of United States
Senators shall take place on the second
Tuesday after the meeting and organi-
zation OF the Legislature, and our legs
lature meets on the first Tuesday in
January. When | was elected on the
Tuesday following the meeting of the
legislature the question arose as 10
whether or not it was the second Tues
day. To make my calling and cleo
ton sure | asked the legislature t.
elect ME again on the succeedin.

my certificate of election. and 1t was
quite voluminous paper. as senatorial
certificates go. In this form it went
before the Senate Judiciary Committee
of which Senator Hoar was chairuau
Senator Hoar was particular person
and he insisted that everything be rcgu-
lar In line with this he had drawn q
form of certificate himself which was
generally accepted by Senators.
When my lengthy certificate was
presented and all my explanations were
being read Senator Hoar began TO frovn

the head. At least he disapproved until

her own heart was being ground be

And to keep that promise she almost
believed that Jonathan Delvin would
come from his icy grave in the river.
There was a knock at the door 1t

bridegroom had come, the wedding guests
were assembled, the minister was present
all were waiting the coming of the bride
Mistress Betty went slowly down the
broad stairway and into the large room
where the ceremony was to take place

in the hall began striking the hour of
ten Her eyes went quickly from one face
to another, until they had circled the
room He was not there! She felt that
she would recognize him in any dis
guise
He was dead! Lieutenant Wilton had
told the truth!
For an instant her form swaved
Then she Strengthened up, and walked
with stately step to her station by the
side of the bridegroom in front of the
minister. In the hush that preceded
the beginning of the sacred ceremony
she heard the cry of the wind without,
and the pounding of the rain on the
window-panes, and the far-off crunch !
ing of the iCe-cakes in the stream; and
she shivered as though a cold wet hand
had been laid in her own.
At the first words of the minister
a chill swept through the room All
felt it, and the flames of the tall candles
fared. Then the curtains of window
parted, and the giant form of Jonathan
Delvin stepped into the room. The
water ran in streams from his clothing
