HEPBURN A LEADER.
Recent Work by French and
Hepburn.

The bill recently passed by the
Senate and House through the efforts
of Senator Hepburn and Congressman
French, authorizing the construction
by the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
Paul Railroad Company of bridge
at or near Lewiston, Idaho, is merely
part of general scheme being
carried on by this company for the
purpose of gaining right of way, as
bills of similar nature have recently
been passed regarding the rivers of
Montana and Washington. 1t all
tends to show that the Company
means business. The promptness
with which Senator Hepburn and
Representative French secured the
passage of this bill through Congress
is very commendatory, and serves to
illustrate the harmony existing be-
tween them.
The Committee on Interstate Com
merce of the House of Representa-
| tives has Tor some time been con-
sidering the measure introduced in
f; the House by Representative French
and in the Senate by Senator Hey
, burn providing that livestock, dur
| ing transportation, shall be unloaded,
fed and waJered every thlrty-siX hours
| instead of every twenty. eight hours
as the law now reads. In the place
/ OF Mr.. French's bill, the Committee
has reported substitute bill which
answers the same purpose, but which
provides for the same % hour limit.
The substitute, however, provides
that the Secretary of Agriculture
may extend the time limit whenever
in his opinion it may be necessary OF
proper.
The railroad rate bill is still thu

part in the discussion of this bill

Senate last week the question of tn,

table-a large, square table which had evidently
been brought from library for the purpose, the
day was chill indoors, and the drawing room was
cozy with log fire. Van Hupfeldt who had
turned from the window before Violet appeared,
affected to be examining the great red seals on the
green ribbons laced into the vellum. That weak
heart of his knocking hard at his ribs: but his
lips tight set: he fighting with his back to
the wall, for that interoper, David Harcourt must
have told Violet everything. So, really, van Hup-
fedt deserved some consideration for his splendid
nonchalance.
Mrs. Mordaunt sat in an easy chair, stroking her
toy Pom. She anxious for these preininaries
to be done with. Dale Manor was an expensive
place to keep up; Hupfeldts millions would
restore the Fa1erian order. So she hailed her
daughter pleasantly, after critical glance.

Hupfeldt spoken, not so had his ardor shaken her.
Il am not here to-day your lover-as your
avowed lover, would rather say-but only as your
self-appointed guardian, as one who would save
you from fate worse than death. Listen now,

Vioets eyes dilated Her lips parted as if to utter

her gently toward him Before either of them

Be brave and silent! Can you listen? Tell me you
are not afraid to listen.''
David Harcourt's arms different thing to the
impetuous embrace of Hupfeldt. A sob came
from her. She seemed to lose little of her fine
stature She becoming smaller, more timidly
womanlike, so near this maSterful man.

The girl glanced back toward the room
she had Quilted and then strolled on ever coming
nearer the glistening lake and the summer house.
She crossed the fine stretch of turf and stood for
instant near marble statue which guarded foun-

his eyes deceiving him when he saw that the
white marble and the black CARRIED girl were sin

since the sculptor had taken Violet's reat-grand-

David not inclined to cavil at any discovery
of fresh charms in Violet, but he set aside this
fancifu idea, as he deemed it, and bent his mind

either to her to the other occupants of the
house.
But she came on again, reached the lakeside
path and made him hope for a moment that she

of the water and face him again. Her figure

So light was her step that the living, moving
body seemed to be as impalpable as it's spirit
image.
Then David's heart did jump of sudden, for
faint hail of "V! twice repeated, caught his ears,
