Of last session so as to allow farmers to

plants and TO give small manufaet turers
generally the benefits Of the law is to
be nuIlified t6 large extent, was the
subject Of a debate that occupied most
of the time OF the Senate yesterday
afternoon and was again considered to-
day.
The controversy centered on an amend
ment attached TO the bill in the Finance
Committee. OF which Senator Aldrich is
chairman. which provides that every
distilling plant must have an internal
revenue storekeeper present when oper-
ations are on. The author Of the bill
and many other Senators contend the
amendment will defeat the very object
Of the measure.
Senator Allison, despite his years and
the fact he has not been in the most
vigorous health lately, made an ener-

amendment was necessary for the pro-

thought OF a woman's looks, was dis.
cussing woman's beauty Then he had
not meant what he had said to her at
ALL
Irinda felt very much as she had
when some one told her that George
Washington and bis little Ratchet and
William Tell and the apple were prob
ably only pleasant stories But at the
same time she was suddenly conscious
that she did not love and never had
loved Barney. Her eyes wandered to
the opposite side Of the car, where Jim
sat alone. A little flicker Of sunshine
was touching his brown hair with gold.
Irinda, with quick indrswIng Of her
breath, remembered that II had looked
Just so the morning her mother died.
The doctor had told them-her father
and herself-that the sick one could
not live through the day. and he had
gone away and left them to their sor-
row. Miserably father and daughter
had communed together. She must be
told, but each shrank from the telling.
Just then Jim had come. lie had been
like a son to Irinda's mother. and they
relegated the task TO him. knowing
that Jim never had shirked a duty in
his life.
She remembered how he had gone
about it-not smoothing over the sad
facts at all, but with eyes and manner
and words so full OF sympathy and
tenderness and stanch hope of the I'M
known future that death seemed to
lose something of its dread. And as
she, at the foot of the bed, had lifted
up her tear stained face she saw a ray
Of sunlight touch inns hair just as It
was doing now.
She tried to picture Barney in the
death chamber. He would not have
lacked in sympathy, but he would have
tried to bring encouragement where no
encouragement could be. She drew
contrasts as she watched the brown
hair turning golden-contrasts between
foam OF the sea and the cool blue
depths Of the ocean itself, between a
bending reed and a sturdy pine, be-
tween responsibility and true heart
edness. Then she. went over to the
seat where Jim sat alone. The face he
turned toward her startled her with Its
sternness.
'Irinda, l have loved you for long
time, but you've always put me on
from telling you. 1t may as we'll be
settled now and forever. I want you
for my wife, and I'll do my best to
make you happy. / don't want any
trihing, child. Just plain yes or no."
Jim, II you really want any one so
selfish and ugly and foolish as I am
I'm sure you're more than welcome
I'm not worthy to be your wife
though" she replied humbly.
Thou art oil that is fair to me, my
beloved"
Jim's voice was hushed as one who

emily at his little sweetheart. were
