ment on june ~. \ The Republican steering

ca mot possibly occur before June 2s, and
may be postponed beyond that date.

from the House in the Finance Committee
room to meet some of the Senate leaders
and discuss a date for adjournment. No
agreement was reached
When Senator Kittredge learned to-day
that the leaders were planning an adjourn
ment for June % he concluded that that was
in furtherance Of an effort to sidetrack his
sea level Panama Cana bill, and started an
investigation. He was soon assured that
the leaders had abandoned hope OF adjourn
ing as early az Jun %.
Senator Rittredge will insist on considera-
ton of his bill. He said today that Con-
gress In the present state Of public business

July 4. The illness of Senator Allison OF
Iowa has delayed the work Of The conference

LONDON, June l2.-Wiliam Waldorf
.Astor's paper, the Pail Mall Gazette, speaking
Of the visit Of Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth,
says:
THE Iongworths are the guests OF the
Reids at Dorchester House because they

is perhaps worth undermining, "a there is a
certain amount Of ill-natured. ignorant

ing could be more natural than that, on the
occasion Of her weddihg tour, Mrs. Long
worth should be glad to visit her many
friends who have settled in Europe. To
twist any other meaning out Of her visit
Is the acme Of perverted ingenuity. The
marked honor paid to her and her hosts
by the announcement OF their Majesties'
presence at the dinner In Mr.. and Mrs.
Longworth's honor at Dorchester House
to-day is one Of the gracious personal COM
pliments to President Roosevelt and the
nation he represents that King Edward,
with his happy tact, knows so well how to
pay. 1t is, Of course, in this light that Mrs.
Longworth regards it,

THE IDEAL DOROTHY.
By GEORGE HORTON.
Author of "Liks Another Helen"

i I cannot forget the sins Of that other
woman
Secondly. his long years as A. Quint-.
ner, clerk. had deprived him Of the
powers OF Initiative.
About this time something epochal
happened. One evening. at an early
! hour. Mr.. Quintner heard a tapping
upon the wall which separated his resi-
dence from the dwelling next door. He
was thinking so intensely of her at the
moment that the sound. coming from
that quarter, impressed him as sig
nal. Scarce realizing what he was
doing, he sprang to the wall and, trem-
bling like an aspen leaf, he tapped
three times. softly. with his kpuckles.
What was his Joy to>reoeive a re-
sponse-almost inaudible. indeed, but
Enthusiastically n response!
On his way to the Office the next day
he met her; he passed her in the
street; he fairly. brushed her dress with
his sleeve. He was about to lift his
hat in joyful recognition and gaze smil-
!ngly into her eyes, but was restrained
by feeling of delicacy, elusive, yet SO
clear that 1t caused him to pass by
without looking up.
This is our secret" he unused, "un-
confessed even to ourselves, and to
take advantage Of It or to seen con-
scious of it would be as rude as to
speak of kiss
Tapping upon the wall now became
the chief feature OF A. Quintners daily
life, something to be looked forward
to, sacred tryst to bring him home
nights and to keep him there. Every
evening at ten O'Clock he tapped Every
evening he heard faint response. In
his imaginary association with her, he
planned not only evenings of reading
from inspired books, but hours OF con-
verse and of more eloquent silence.
One morning she went away, and the
fact that she took with her a suitcase
to his Impractical mind long stay
months. perhaps. The second evening
after her departure he began love
letter to her:
my Sweetheart-Fcr such you are,
and you cannot help yourself, for,
whatever your sentiments may be to-
wards ME, you cannot prevent my low
ing YOU. cannot believe you are gone.
The flowers are here yet, the sun. the
stars and the birds. Everything re-
minds me of you. Sometimes / feel
that my love for you is sheer audacity,
and then reflect that 1t is not only
inevitable but duty; it is mere wor-
ship, the tribute that the soul of man
