him, and parted glancing blow that took a
square quarter of an inch from one of his eye
brows. Lester drew back and gathered himself
to hit again. He had forgotten all about pos
sibe interference by the gypsy, and it came
to him as a shock when he found his next
effort restrained by a grip which might have
belonged to the grizzly bear of Bradshaw's imagi
nation.
The poacher flung him into a though he

During this conversation Lester
lay huddled on the floor where he
had fallen, while the old crone on
the bed kept on muttering childishlv.

pounds from you, and when you give

Warren saw that his raving would
not move Leigh. So, perforce, he
fell in with the half-suggested plan.
There is my dog cart down the road"
he said, and we can reach that box
in less than an hour. Guarantee to

the books are destroyed he can say

They wasted no further time in
discussion, but hoisted Lester, still
insensible from Warren's cowardly
blow, into the dog-cart and covered
him over with the knee-cloth. The
hour was late and the shadows were
deeFening. Nevertheless, though
they were not likely to meet any
body on the road they followed, it was
desirable from their point of view
that they should get clear of the
outskirts of the village as soon as
possible.

Gated on the square upon which will be
erected the new office building for the Sen

This will be the easy solution of the
matter. declared Mr.. M. 1. Weller. chair
man Of the committee on public comfort,
and who is charged with procuring quar-
tiers for everybody, except the detach-
ments of the regular army. IF We can get
the use of those houses we can take care
of about 1000 troops and we can accommo-
date the remainder at other places.
rhese buildings are about to be torn
down in order to prepare the ground for
the Senate office buildings. The contract
states that the nineteen houses there shall
be evacuated by February 20. 1t would GER
talIly not be great inconvenience to delay
this for few days longer, In order to
allow the state troops to find quarters and
anyhow, the entire work could not be done
in the time between that mentioned and
March 8, so that it would be possible to
begin on one side of the square and leave
the other for the soldiers. The buildings
are modern, have ample plumbing and good
heating apparatus, and would afford every
comfort. There could be no damage done.
because the buildings will shortly be torn
down. and if it should be possible that any
part of the plumbing were taken Off which
certainly would not be likely, the states in
terested would defray the expense of the
damage just they have always been very
willing to do heretofore.
Face the Capitol.
1.-The buildings are near the beginning OF
the line of march. facing the Capitol. and
the troops could fall In line in the easiest
possible place of access. Then, too. the
troops, individually wandering about the
city, could easily find their way back again
by remembering that the location is near
the Capitol. All in all, 1t is first-rate
idea, and / do not conceive of any objec-
ton that Congress might make. 1t will
remove the stumbling block In the way
of accommodating the troops for, though
there will be more than 1000 who will
come, we have sufficient other accommoda-
