CHAPTER Nv.

From the back yard of more than
one New Salem home, where soap-mak-
ing and gardening were going forward,
azure smoke rose over pink Goals of
wood and old vines. The whole world
was getting ready to be new. AIMS
cwn winter linsey was laid aside. She
wore something which made her look
like blossom to the eyes of the boy.
Antvwine gave her the parcel and
stood abashed while it was unrolled,
revealing yards of dark red and yellow
calico, the colors alternating in tiny
flecks which globed themselves to
pomegranates. Ann had noticed it in
the store as a most daring attempt in

Peggy was glad when Ann waylaid

and she said, "Goody!" She talked
the great event quite out with Anty-

cause they se..som spoke to each other

had time, until Peggy, by accident of
Antywine's choice, stood at last I'M
consciously arrayed in the colors OF
Spain. The garment was gathered to
her slim figure under the bust, whence
escaping fullness hung as low as her
ankles. This short-waisted look, and
the gorgeous setting of colors for her
pale olive skin, and her hair cut in
the fashion of the middle ages,
suddenly developed in her a charm.
People noticed her, and said that she
was not exactly growing pretty, but
there was something to her. The con-
fidence of knowing how to do things
appeared in her face. For, having be-
gun with the needle, Ann Rutledge
went on to knitting and spinning.
Ann had pretty clothes, for her father
never rode to Springfield without
bringing her a gift, and her mother
even INDUCED her with cashmere
pelisse modelled after one worn by the
doctors wife, who came bride to
New Salem. Viane saw with some re-
sentiment her elder sister take things
which had usually fallen to her and
cut them over for the Indians adopted
daughter. Thus Peggy became trans
formed in every garment except her
moccasins. To these heelless, quill
embroidered shoes she chung with the
instinct of wilderness lover. They
were light and soft and small, hamper

Antywine made them for her when he
made his own. In return she knitted

When Peggy first learned to knit
she pulled the yarn so tight that the
stocking leg stood above the needles
as stiff as board triangle and had
to be raveled and done over.
You're not building stake-and-
ridered fences for your men folks,
laughed Ann.
Shickshack's wife gave Peggy many
tasks to do, but in house where there
was no making, strewn with the
appointments of a dirty camp, the
tasks were sordid and often useless
Sally let pots and kettles litter the
hearth, her cob pipe dropped ashes
into a dinner hanging on the crane;
joists were grimy, and dust stood thick

LUCKY TED.

That was the nickname they called him
by
The boys at his school-and this was why:
He was bound to win from the start they
said:
1t was always the way with Lucky Ted!
The earliest flowers in his garden grew;
The sums on his slate came soonest true;
He could sail a boat, or throw a ball,
Or guess riddle, the best Of all.
You wondered what could his secret be,
Eut watch him for awhile and you would
see.
He thought 1t out till the thing was plain.
And then went at it with might and main.
Trusting but little to chance or guess,
Helearned the letters that spell Success.
A ready hand and a thoughtful head
So much for the "luck'' of Lucky Ted!'

THE PARTING WAYS.

I'd like to see that old cliff path
Which lovers feet have made.
Just where it leaves the Travelled ROAD
And dips down in the shade
OF the Widespread ding overhang
OF naples and of birch:
The where the hidden thrush once sang
And peeked out from his perch.
I'd like to wander all alone
Down to the parting ways,
All, all, alone with thoughts of you,
AS once in other days
wandered where the old road lies
My thoughts-dear, you were fair!-
Ny thoughts were all of your true eyes
And of your truant hair!
And. where the cliff path dipped ant
branched
Away from the old trail,
heard the catbird call, and call,
And watched blown leaf sail
From off a tossing windblown limb.
Straight down the path it flew,
watched its dwindling fight and dim,
And-sweetheart! there was you!
You sat beside the dipping way.
And watched the fading CLEAN
Of dying day down in the vale,
Reflected in the stream
That wound it's crooked way along;
My day had been so sad
But then it dubbed into song.
And. sweetheart, I was glad!

DIV the Associated Press.)

Washington, March Resolved, That
Charles Swayne, Judge OF the District
Court Of the United States, in the north
ern district of Florida, be impeached OF
high misdemeanor.'
This is the recommendation of the
House Committee on the Judiciary to the
House, in the report of the committee
filed today by Representative Palmer, OF
Pennsylvania, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee which investigated the case against
Judge Swayne. After discussing the
charges in detail against Judge Swayne
and giving the findings in each case, the
report concludes as follows:
Upon the whole case it is plain that
Judge Swayne has torfe tied the respect and
confidence of the bar of his court, and OF
the people of his district, who do bust
ness here. He has so conducted himself
as to earn the reputation of being suscep-
tible to the malign influence of u man OF
VIGOROUSLY bad character. He has shown
himself to be harsh, tyrannical and OPP
pressive, unmndful of the common rule
of just and upright judge. He has con-
tinuously and persistently violated the
plain words OF a statute of the United
States and subjected himself to punish
ment Tor the commission of a high misds.
meanor He has fined and imprisoned
members OF his bar for a constructive con-
tempt without the authority OF law and
without a decent show of reason, either
through ineXcusable ignorance, malicious
intent to njure, or wanton disposition
to exercise arbitrary power. He has con
demned to a term of Imprisonment in the
county Jail, reputable citizen of the
State Of Florida over whom he had no
jurisdiction, who was guilty of no thought
OF contempt of his court, for no offense
aagirst him or IN the presence Of the
court, or in obstruction of any order, rule
command or decree. And after the ac
cused had purged himself on oath.
For all these reasons, Charles Swayne
has been guilty of misbehavior in his of
flee Of judge, and grossly violated the
condition upon which he held this honor
able appointment. The honor of the Jude
-iaEy,-the orderly and decent administra
ton of public justice and the welfare Of
the people of the United States demand
his impeachment and removal from the
high place which his conduct has de.
graded"
AS to the charge that Judge Swayne
is a nonresident of his district, the re-
port concludes:
From the testimony in the case, your
committee finds that Judge Swayne has
never acquired legal residence IN the
northern district of Florida, Cor has he
actually resided there, as required by the
act of Congress"

be learned in Wall Street today Daniel

new offer for his creditors. 1t seems to
be the disposition on the part of the cred

named yesterday, to represent them and
negotiate with Sully through the receiv-
ers. Other creditors are insisting that
the committee, go ahead and try to ar
range q settlemen at once. In Wall Street
the opinion seemed to be that Sully was
trying to arrange terms that would be sat
isfactory to his creditors.
Receiver Taft declared today that it
would be at least week before a state

be made public.
Denying published statement to the
effect that the receivers has sold some of
