Openly Made.

Madison. Wis, May 3. As an after
math to the unprecedented action OF the
Wisconsin senate in ousting Senator
Barney a. Eaton from the body on
charges OF bringing the solOns' dignity
into question, the contention has arisen
that the upper house has reached far be-
yOnd its power and doubt is expressed
as to whether proper steps We're taken.
Eaton was suspended from participa
tion in the proceedings Of the body until
January !, 1906. which practically
amounts to a year and half disbar-
ment as the legislature holds no ses-
sion next winter. Members in general
are founding their coyyersation on the
Eaton affair. and many are inclined to
believe that the senate did wrong in
Leaving the district represented by the
sOlOn without o senator BY the sen
ate's action the people of the Eaton dis
triCt are unable to elect a successor TO
their uusted senator. while this pro-
ccdure would be possible If the body
had impeaChed or expelled him. But the
action makes the blow harder. and now
the districtin question besides being un-
represented, can do nothing to alter its
conditions, This is the first time in he
history OF the commonwealth when a
state solon has Lten ou-ted from hl-
seat. On the other hand. the senate or
assembly has he righr to punish any
member for contempt or violation OF

dinner at Anglers invitation The lawyer was
naturally anxious to look into the claims OF Lord
Arncliffes self-styled nephew for he could not dis
guse from himself that if a suppression of letters
had really taken place the young had been
hardly dealt with. Lord Arnclffe, whatever his
regard for Edith could not have failed look upon
his brothers son in the light of an heir.
Edith too, had realized the same thing at once,
and she lost no time in communicating her ideas
to Angler &C If this gentleman is Lord Arnciffe's
nephew" she said "of course he is entitled to all
the property.
He is not entitled to sixpence," answered Angler
blunt1y-"that is legally speaking At the same
time moral1y-and l hope l shall not be struck off
the rolls for suggesting such a considerations
think it is unquestionably your duty to make some
handsome provision for the young man-always,
of course, presuming that he establishes his
claim
4 shall give him everything" persisted Edith
with Spartan determination albeit little tragicaly-
Since inheriting forty thousand a year she had
buded castles in the air. Not having the least
notion what much money meant, she could have
fulfilled all her plans with 1.-THE of her income. At
this moment the REIMBURSEMENT OF all her happy
dreams was something of wrench.
Pooh! Nonsense, my dear! Act generously
as YOU like, but do not talk in that way. After
all, you have plenty and to spare, even if there are
other Richmonds in the field, and | should be the
last to advise you otherwise But there IS no need
for YOU to be quixotic The terms of the will are SO
emphatica1ly favorable toward you that l am be-
ginning to doubt whether, in any event, Lord Arm
chffe would have allowed utterly unknown
nephew to affect your position.
Is that your honest opinion Mr.. Aingier?'
asked Edith looking at him with a candOr that
caused him to laugh a trife uneasily
oh come, you must not ask a lawyer for an
honest opinion. When all is said and done,
duty is to carry out Lord Arncliffes wishes as we
know them. For instance, how do we know that
this young American would respect anyone of Lord
Arncliffes plans regarding the various researches
in which he was interested? On the contrary, he
might apply the entire fortune to the creation of
some gigantic trust, or corner, and you would
find yourself indirectly responsible for dear bread,
or a rise in cotton, that might mean starvation

Arnciffe did so much to amelorate
And then again" broke in a level voice, how do
we know that this young American would DE Such
a skunk to take money from an uhPIoIeCCeu
young girl?
Angler sprang to his feet, aghast, and turned
to see William Lincoln Bradshaw quietly exam1n-
ing an old simitar of Rajputana, exquistely inlaid
with golden line-drawings of the life of Buddha.
Il think sir" suffered Angler, very red and
irving to cover his confusion with an assumption
of great Indignation "a private conversation such
as this might have been respected by you. L
don't know what the custom is in your country
g lust the same as anywhere else, said Brad
shaw in the same even voice. GU lett me IN
here ten minutes ago, and asked me to excuse you
and amuse myself with some of these old curos and
l could hardly suppose you would bring the lady
here for private conversation
Angler almost struck his forehead in despair.
In all the worry Of the moment he had completely
forgotten the circumstance and now he found himself
not only in the wrong, but, what was worse looking
rather ridiculous. -
Don't say a word" said Bradshaw, cutting
short the lawyers rather lame apologies. As a
matter of fact, | ought to have spoken, directly L
understood the conversation had reference to myself
As it was 1 could not resist listening this ladys

himself directly to Edith that tn gentleman has

just as likely not to turn 1t into dime museum.
He was goodly to look at, not essentially hand
some but having the steady eyes and tenderly firm
mouth that women like. Edith seemed to detect
a lurking hurnor in his concluding lamentable con-
feSsiOn, and she rose and held out her hand with
a frankly friendly smile
I'VE shall go into business later, Mr.. Bradshaw"
she said Meanwhile, l hope you will consider

Angler in diplomatic attempt to learn something

thing is that you should not have discovered your
