this the sum total you can give me for
your argument, your defense, after all
this time to think it up?
Wooster revolved a score of replies,
none of which could avail. After
moment he answered: What more do
you expect me to say?"
The Major eyed him hotly. That he
struggled to restrain a rising temper
Wooster plainly saw.
Il expect something manly, at least,
he said as calmly as he might. See
here, young man, you ought to be IN
jail already. Anybody knows as much
as that, after what l caught you doing

But, by George! you, or my son, or any
other man-I'd see the law upheld!

YOU if you've been a low-dOwn tool and
dupe; but by heavens, I'll send YOU
straight to prison if you opened that safe
on your own account. Now, sir, why

Wooster had not even hazarded a
guess that Aileen was behind the curtain

however, as the one to protect. Driven
to bay by the fierce old soldiers demand
half appeal, half a profered loophole
of escape-he was wholly at a loss for
an answer. In lieu of anything better,
anything nearer to the TRUTH and yet of
no apparent significance, he looked at
the Major and said haltingly: ibid
it because wish to marry"
Major Van Twiller seemed not at first
to understand, or to believe this state
ment. There was certain badness
and incongrrity about it that puzzled
him.
Because you wish to get married."
he repeated. "Do you mean your
intention was to take something -
say that diamond neCklace-tO aid your
self, or to do something toward a mar
riage?"
No" said Wooster, 81 mean nothing
of the sort"
Then what did you mean? Blazes.
You are past praying for! Who is the
woman, sir? l shall warn her of what
you are Tell me who she isl
That is out of the question" Wooster
answered in some confusion.
You refuse to divulge her name?"
"Certainly."
And YOU opened my safe to promote
this marriage-in some way or other?
Well, sir, am done with you-done!"
said the Major, in calm that betokened
the worst for all concerned Ill give
you your remaining chances to tell
something further to a court and jury!
Ring that bell for the man. Never mind!

He was moving impaticntly across the

was silent for a space, listening her
bosom heaving with suppressed eX-
citement.
Wooster stood with his hand on the
table, his face exceedingly pale. His
gaze was apparently fixed on the floor.
The Major had halted, on his way to ring
the bell. He twisted his long mustache
fierCely.
"Yes-ves." said Aileen at the phone.

For moment Major Van Twiller
stared at Wooster ferociouslv. In aston
ishment himself. Nelson looked up and
caught his glance.
They heard the click as Aileen hung
up the receiver. She hesitated for
second, in which to nerve herself anew.
Then she turned about, all smiles and
radiance. and came running toward her

The Major made a spasmodic effort TO
control himself; but his rage at this sud
den and unexpected complication Of
affairs, was as fierce as was his surprise.
Thus to learn that Wooster was en-
gagged to marry his daughter made him
furious. That Aileen had given the news
to the world simply added fuel 10 his

straining his emotions.

The TEXAS LAWMAKERS
ARE NOW ON THE GROUND
Candidates For Various Offices Are Pressing Their
Claims-General Davidson Presiding Large
Number of New Members Are Seen.

The Twenty fifth legislature fixed
the second Tuesday in January as the
day on which the legislature shall
meet, and as the organization of the
body is always interesting it may not
be amiss to state the modus operandi.
Those having certificates OF election
to the senate or house, and those sem
ators whose terms of office shall not
have expired, shall only be competent
to organize the senate and house of
representatives
For the purpose of organization it
shall be the duty of the secretary of
state to preside at each recurring ses-
sion. He shall attend at the time and
place designated and appoint a clerk
of the house the preceding session. If
he be present, to keep record of the
proceedings.
The clerk, under the direction of the
secretary of state, shall call all the
counties in alphabetical order. When
the counties are called and the mem
bers- elect appear and present their
credentials it is the duty of the clerk
to administer the oath prescribed by
the constitution.
When an election for speaker shall
have been had the speaker elect shall
Immediately take the chair and the
house proceed to its further organiza-
ton By electing the necessary officers,
shisi clerk, jour aai cisrk, sergeant-st-
arms, door keeper and others.
The statue provides that should
here be no secretary of state, or in
ease he is absent or unable to attend
from any cause, the attorney general
shall attend and perform the duties
prescribed.
Owing the condition of Secretary of
State Curl's voice, Attorney General
R. V. Davidson will preside over the
house until the speaker is elected.

Austin, Texas, January 1O.-With
thearrivsls of yesterday and last night,
practically all the members of both
braIches of the legislature are here
and ready for the converting of the
Twenty ninth legislature, which takes
place at high noon today. Lieutenant
Governor George d. Neal will not
reach Austin until some time today.
He was to have reached Austin yes
terday but was detained on account of
some important private business.
There are this year quite large num-
Der of new members, especially. is this
the case in the lower branch, while
there are fifteen new senators here
THE year. The hotel Hobbies we're
crowded yesterday during the day, the
new members meeting the old ones,
and the day was most pleasantly
spent. Many of the new members
were kept busy locating themselves
for the session. The candidates for
the different offices in both branches
were at work all day yesterday press
ing their claims on the members for
election and this will be kept up until
the vote Is finally taken.
IL d an historical coincidence worthy
of notice that the extra session of the
Fourth legislature convened in Austin
Janr ~ 10, 1858, the same day on
--his ,e Twenty ninth convened in
- marlborough Bon vas ssv-
ernor at that time, John A. Greer
president of the senate, and d. Q.
Dickson speaker of the house.
Another coincidence worthy of note +,
is the Twelfth legislature convened
January 10, 1871. E. J. Davis was
Don Campbell president of
the senate and Ira II. Evans speaker
of the house of representatives. 1t
win thus be seen that three times in
fifty-tw two years the Texas legislature
has met January 10, in 1853, 1871 and
1905.
