Harvell lay in the bottom of his ca
noe. The canoe was tied a few feet out
from the shore, and the river, deep,
powerful and mysterious, tugged at the
frail little craft But Harvcll did not
heed the call. The darkness was deep,
yet luminous, with the promise of an
early moon, and the night wind that
swept from shoreward was sweet and
heavy with the fragrance Of blooming
rushes.
Harvcll stared upward to the stars,
every sense rs keenly alive to the
beauty Of the scene as If mind and
heart had not been given over for days
to the problem which he had thrown
himself into the canoe TO solve. Final
ly he stirred restlessly and said half
aloud:
NO. Its no use | can't do 1t. She Is
too fine and thoroughbred for great,
common born chap like me to marry.

OUTLINE OF WORK
IN CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.

With everything prepared for smooth
sailing Speaker Cannon in the house,
and Vice President Fairbanks, in the
senate, will only have to bring down
their gavels with a resounding thump
at uoon next Monday to start the leg
islativesbip on it's short three months
cruise. This second session of the fifty
ninth congress will adjourn March 4.
On account of the many government
supply bills to be passed it is extreme
ly doubtful whether there will be a
chance for much general legislation.
There is a strong probability, how
ever, that river and harbor bill,
carrying about sixty million dollars,
will go through. The only obstacle
will be the possible opposition of the
senate should the advocates Of the
ship subsidy measure in that body de-
mand that it stand or fall with she
river and harbor bill.
SORAPPING ANTICIPATED.
Over these two measures and the
Philippine tariff bill the politicians
of the two houses will probably do
some scrapping The administration
earnestly desiers the enactment Of the
house bill reducing the tariffs on Phil
ippine sugar, tobacco and rice to 25
per cent. of the Dingley rates, and ad
mitting free all other Philippine pro-
ducts. The senate held the measure up
in the last session. If the subsidy ad
vocates in the senate have their way
they will support the Philippine tariff
bill and the river and harbor measure,
which is to contain a provision in
augurating the proposed deep water
way from the lakes to the gulf
BILLS TO CONE UP.
Senator LaFolette's bill limiting the
hours OF continusous labor for rail
road employees will have the boards in
the senate next week, as the unfinish
cd business. The eight hour and anti
Injunction measures. the demand for
which by organized labor prompted
the American Federation of Labor's
recent excursion into the political field
will come up for discussion during the
session. The eight hour bill has been
favorably reported by the house COM
mittee on labor. Speaker Cannon's op-
position has prevented it from being
placed before he house. The anti-in-
junction measure, which President
Roosevelt has promised the labor peo-
pie the will personally consider, is
awaiting action at the hands Of the
judiciary committee Of the house. The
chances for the passage of either are
said to be very slim.
PRESIDENT TO WRITE MESSAGE.
The measure mailing more stringent
the rules governing the admission Of
aliens into this country will undoubt-
edly become law. The measure pass
ed both houses and senate last session
and 1t Is now awaiting completion at
the hands of conferees. Pure food and
railroad rates will be discussed. Early
in the session President Roosevelt will
send a special message to congress re-
lating to the Panama canal. The mem
bers will have something on campaign
frauds and the desirability of publicity
regarding campaign contributions.
Life insurance and fire insurance re-
forms will be discussed, but there is
little chance of legislation concerning
these two matters in the present ses-
sion

With infinite toll lie raised himself out
Of the water inch by inch until at last
ha "rn'''.l'na an tho ornot stopa and felt
the teeterIng plank.
Then on hands and knees he started
for the shore. Blinded by sprays, the
planks half turning so that he could
only pause, struggling with rigid mus
cles for balance, Harvell crawled along
the foot wide planks. And with each
pause came new discouragement. Mar
garet would surely be gone. In a
panic Of haste he slipped and fought
his way, now half in the boiling water
half on the Shiny rocks, now again on
the plankway, gaining toward his goal
foot by foot. At last one final spring
and he felt again the solid earth be-
meath him. Without thought Of his
dripping clothing he started on his
half mile run through the woods to the
bungalow.
"If the moon would only come up"
he thought as he tore his way through

perceived dim figure standing by the

up the road. Harvell passed

Yes" answered quietly the sweet

him.
Margaret, why do you go|
Margaret, too surprised by his sudden
appearance to be startled by his knowl

Because, Harvell plunged on, Il

You have no right TO speak that
way, Paul" said Margaret, in her quiet
voice.
"No, but isn't that true:' persisted
Harvell. The moon was we'll above the
treetops now. BY its light he could
see the look of pride with which Mar
