She was in the highest spirits, sing
ing to herself-really, told myself,
only child-and at last she swung
around and dropped me courtesy.
How is that, chez" she cried, smil-
ing up at me. "Does that please you?"
"Charming!' cried, gasping little,
with feeling Of giddiness, as looked
down into her eyes.
Our cab swung around into Broad
way, ablaze with light, and Cecily for
got me in the excitement Of watching
the changing crowd, the brilliant shop
fronts.
Here we are" l said as the cab
drew up at the curb, and sprang out
and helped her down.
We went up to the promenade after
the first act and ate an ice together.
The place was crowded, and Cecily soon
became the center of attraction. Men
strolled past merely to look at her, and
from more than one woman l caught
q flash of eye that said unutterable
things. The advent of a new, incom-
parable siren could not pass unchal-
lenged. At them all Cecily glanced
from time to time with admirable non
chalance. One would have sworn she
had been reared in New York. She
chatted gayly, eating her ice slipping
her wine, looking at me with eyes that
glowed like stars. Then suddenly as
she looked up her face changed |

he bowed and passed on.
"Who is that gentleman demanded
Cecily eagerly, leaning across the ta-
BILE toward me. "You know him?"
"Oh, quite WELL" l answered, more
and more surprised. His name is
Godfrey"
Godfrey" she repeated slowly after
me, as though fixing it indelibly in her
| memory. "And what is his business?"
"He's reporter by trade: he gathers
news for paper" added, seeing that
she did not wholly understand.
"Oh," she said, and breathed deep
sign Of relief, II see." Then as she
met my glance she added: 81 fancied
| that had met him somewhere; l was
mistaken. In New York have met NO
one except you, m'sieur."
But scarcely heard her; my eyes
had dropped to pin at her throat AS
she leaned forward I could see it very
ciearly-an opal surrounded by blaz.

NOMINATIONS ARE HELD UP
SENATE COMMITTEE DELAYS FA-
VORABLE REPORTS.
Would Know When Shaw and Hitch
cock Will Retire Before Confirm
ing Cortelyou and Garfield.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Before the
senate confirms the nominations of
George B. Cortelyou to be secretary of
the treasury, and James R. Garfield to
be secretary of the interior, the SEN
ate committee on finance will insist
upon learning from President Roose-
welt when Secretaries Shaw and Hitch
cock intend to retire. The committee
Tuesday declined to make favorable
reports on these nominations until
word has been received from the pres
ident.
Failure to act on the nominations
does not indicate hostility to Messrs.
Cortelyou and Garfield. The. opinion
was held by all members of the COM
mittee present that dangerous prece-
dent would be established if these
nominations were confirmed without
a definite understanding as to when
the men are to assume Office and
when they are to vacate the places
they now hold in the government
service.
Political questions. it is declared,
did not enter into the discussion in
any manner. In fact, Republican
member of the committee raised the
question of the desirability Of calling
upon the president, by suggesting that
the manner of making the appoint
ments indicated that the president
was taking options on available men
for the cabinet. and committing the
senate to them in advance of any in
formation as to the beginning of their
period of service.
1t is expected that the request for
information will be made by Chair
man Aldrich through call in person
at the white house.

INDIANS NEAR STARVATION.
PitifuI Appeal Made by chippewas on
Portage Reservation.

Grand Marais. Mimi, Dec. S.-Many
of the Chippewa Indians at the Port
age reservation are on the verge of
starvation. They expected the GUS
tomary allowance of flour and pork
from the government, but did not get
1t. The following appeal was written
to Maj. S. w. Campbell, Indian agent
at Ashland, Wis:
'Does the government want us to
die? We cannot understand how
these, things can be; we cannot un-
derstand why we cannot sell our pine,
and we cannot understand why we
cannot have some pork and flour for
our old and sick brothers. God put
us on earth to live, and he gave us
the moose, deer and fish to use in
making our living"
