Congressman Billy Biler having been
John Wickly's attorney in the prosecu-
ton of his claim against the English
crown for his thirteen hundred and TWEEN

retained his employment III the manage

Mr.. Billy Biler, talking very earnest
ay, and mumbling his words a little by
prying among his white, even teeth with
a goose Quill toothpick, and constantly
turning his white looking eyes out OF
aheir corners so as to see what Mr.. and
Mrs. Wickly are doing, pauses minute
after having fairly stated his case, be-
4Ore he goes on to argue 1t.
$50 now you're the heaviest taxpayer
IN this county, by long ways, Miss
I.izzy Tn if you haven't no vote you've
gut influence-plenty of it! You are the
very person to bring Coon Redden round
all right. And hope you'll do that fur
me-"
What else he said in the innumerable
Eepctitions of every statement which he
happened to think, as a lawyer, needed
repeating, she could not remember. He
staid long after her own somewhat at
fecting meeting with her father. In fact,
go far from having the delicacy to with
draw, he assumed an air OF legal ad-
wiser and supervisor of the whole AFFAIR,
making remarks upon the various phases
OF the unhappy portion OF this episode
that were intended to be humorous ana
light, but which were, in fact, coarse and
brutal.
Again, the good-natured people of
Sandtown who ''neighbored' with the
Wicklys, or the Weeklys, as they were
fndifferently called. dropped in to see the
''Squar." 1t was plain that they still had
apprehensions-seriou apprehenslons-
of the mental condition and stability OF
the returned patent.
Hello, 'Squar" said Conrad Redden,
when he came in some time after IL
o'clock at night. Hits mighty late fur
arse farmers to be up, but I've gut to
shake hans. How're yuh feelun, Squar,
any way? Tar'd, haint yuh? Rid all the
way over h-yur without restun? Better
lay down. purity soon, hadn't yuh? Wont
do to set up all night, yuh know"
There was the deprecating solicitude IN
every word and look of COOnrod Red
denis, that showed very plainly that he
could not divest himself of the precon-
ceived notion that the "Squar" still need
ed medical advice and supervision, and
in his opinion, and that of the public OF
Sandtown. he might. always need it.
Well | gut to go home now, Squar.

SIS he gomez" she asked, with an I'M
awaiting effort to keep back the hot rush
of blood to her face.
YES" said Conrad Redden, looking at
her curiously and contemplatively, hes
gone. He had to light out on that train
that went at $50. [ thought he druv up
h-yur before he went. I'm shore he did.
Didn't you see imp He was looking
at her rather scrutinizingly.
Yes. lie drove up h-yur jist ahead of
me-" put in Mr.. Biler, but he couldn't
stop minute and he couldn't find where
Lizzy was at. He said he'd write in
reference to the payments on the land
and the signing of deeds, and so on.
Well, if you're ready, Coonrod, I'll go
down with you a piece"

In the Senate Friday morning there
was criticism because the substitute bills,
as recommended by committee had not
been printed and placed on the files so
that the members could follow them. The
legislators are chatting at the delay at
getting down to work. There IS such
tremendous mass of bills to be acted
upon and as yet a very evident sloth ON
the part Of committees to tackle them
that some of the lawmakers are getting
