Petition Against Senator Shoot sfgn.
 ed by Thousands of Women.
 WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-In pre- senting petitions against Senator Reed Shoot, signed by thousands of women of California and Colorado, Messrs. Perkins and Patterson took occasion yesterday to define their positions on the protests against the Utah senator. The former said that religious views should not be considered in passing upon the qualifications of a senator and that his honesty and the attributes that command confidence and respect should be considered above all else.
 Mir. Patterson thought there were great constitutional questions to be considered and said that these would govern his vote. The petitioners had requested these senators to make some remarks in presenting the prayers.
 Discussion of the pure food bill occu- pied practically all of the day. The speakers were Mir. Hepburn, who has charge of the bill; Senator Foraker, who presented e number of amend ments desired by liquor interests: MT. Money, in favor of his substitute, and Mir. McCumber.

CHAPTER XIV.

2 | t. v g1
 THE SIGHT OF A NEW BEAUTY, ANI SOME ADVICE FROM HIGBEE. In from the shining sea late one aft l ernoon steamed the Viluca As her chain was rattling through the hawse- hole, Percival with his sister and Mauburn, came on deck.
 Why, there's the Chicago Higbee's i yacht"
 That's the boat" said Mauburn, that's been piling the white water up in front of her all afternoon trying to overhaul us', 1 There's MYllie Higbee and old silas, 1 now"
 And, as I live" exclaimed Psyche. there's the Baron de Palliac between them!"
 Sure enough" said her brother. We must call ma up to see him dressed in those sweet, pretty yachting flannels. Oh, there you are!" as Mrs. Bines joined them. Just take this glass and treat yourself to look at your old friend, the baron. You'll mo- tice he has one on-see-they're wav- ing to us."
 Doesn't the baron look just too dis tinguished beside MT. Higbee?" said Psyche, watching them.
 And doesn't Higbee look just too Chicago beside the baron?" replied her brother.
 The Higbee craft cut her way grace fully up to an anchorage near the vf- luca, and launches frem both yachts now prepared to land their people. At the landing Percival telephoned for a carriage While they were waiting the Higbee party came ashore.
 "Hello!" said Higbee, If I'd known that was you we was chasing I'd have put on steam and left you out of sight"
 "It's much better you didn't recog- nize us; these boiler explosions are % messy"
 Know the baron here?"
 of course we know the baron. An, baron!"
 "Ah, ha! very charmed ,Mr. Zines and Miss Bines; 1t is of long time that we are not encountered"
 He was radiant: they had never be- fore seen him thus. Mrs. Higbee how cred near him with an air of proud ownership. Pretty Millie Higbee posed gracefully at her side.

 York people since that Milbrey girl made such a set for him; and at last she called mo a dear and consented though shed been looking forward to quiet summer. Tomorrow early we start out for the shops,
 So 1t came that the three members of the Zines family pursued during tho summer their respective careers of d. version under conditions most satis- factory to each.
 The steam yacht viluca, chartered by Percival, was put into commission early in June. Her first cruise of ten days was signal triumph. His eight guests were the men with whom he had played poker so tirelessly during the winter. Perhaps the most illumin- ating log of that cruise may be found In the reply of one of them whom Per ;ival invited for another early in July.
 Much obliged, old man, but haven't touched drop now in over three weeks. My doctor says must let it be for at least two months, and I mean Q stick by him. Awfully kind of you, hough!"

CHAPTER XIV. THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN IS

PLANNED.
 Winter waned and spring charmed the land into blossom. The city-pent, 'as we have intimated, must take this season largely on faith. If one can Ind a patch of ground naked of stone or asphalt one may feel the heart of tho earth beat. But even now the shop windows are more inspiring. At least they copy the outer show. Ten ,'der-hued shirt-waists first push up their sprouts of arms through the win ter furs and woolens, quite as the first ,violets out in the woodland thrust themselves up through the brown car pet of leaves. Then every window be- comes summery glade of lawn, tulle and chiffon, moro lavish of tints, shades and combinations. indeed, than ever nature dared to be.
 Outside, where the unspoiled earth begins, the blossoms are clouding the trees with a mist of pink and white, and the city dweller knows 1t from the bloom and foliage of these same win- dows.
 Then 1t is that the spring "get away" urge is felt by each prisoner, by those able to obey it, and by those, alike, who must wear it down in the groomed and sophisticated wildness of the city parks.
 On a morning late in May Mrs. Zines and her daughter were at breakfast.
 Isn't Percival coming?" asked his mother. Everything will be cold"
 Cant say" Psyche answered. "I don't even know if he came in last night But don't worry about cold | things. You can't get them too cold for Perce at breakfast, nowadays. He takes lot of ice water and a little something out of the decanter, and maybe some black coffee"
 Yes, and I'm sure it's bad for him. He doesn't look bit healthy and hasn't since he quit eating breakfast. He used to be such a hearty eater at

He was with me, and while he hadn't chance on earth, he was a sticker, and I commenced to think Jimmy Carrolrs dope had gone to his head, and he had hooked up wrong somehow.
