said. One of them opened the shed
door and looked in, peered into the
darkened corners, and then went
away. For what seemed hours to
"Shifty" he lay there in a cramped
position devising imaginative tor
lures for the thin, nervous man with
the squirt and the eyeglasses, but
not daring to make a sound. And
then after an interminable time to
him he heard the mob moving of
up the alley.
He waited a long time after that
and then dropped down from the
loft and crawled through the win
dow. 1t was dusk now, and he felt
safe. With plans for coming gayct
he entered Fred's bar on Market
street a half hour later and called
for a beer. As the tapster drew the
foaming liquid, "Shifty's" eyes
caught sight of a theatrical bill on
the wall. Upon it was depicted a
lady with whirling skirts and a dude
with a monocle.
"The Dainty Divinity Bu~rlesquers
at the Standard Tonight" he read.
Ill just go to that and take some
pretty Pearl with me upon the gen
crosby Of the fat gentleman"
And he proudly drew forth the
purse and selected one of the many
shining silver dollars within. This
he placed on the counter and was
reaching for the stein when the bar
keeper changed the dollar back to
him with a snarl, at the same time
drawing away the glass.
"Young man." he snapped, "the
best thing you can do is to blow
evaporate-shddoo." He made ar
emphatic gesture toward the front
door. 'Now don't let me tell you
again, or I'll call the cops"
"Shifty' picked up the dollar and
went outside, his mind in a haze Of
p~erplexity. And then as he turned
oil into a dark, deserted street the
face Of the fat man he had robbed
in the car arose before him, and he
remembered,
'Well, I'll be hanged" he NUT
tered, IF it wasn't Dude Baxter,
maker of the Queer"
The next moment be was kneeling
in the gloom and changing the dol
lar on the pavement. And then he
tried another and another till he
had changed every coin in the purse.
They were all counterfeit!

he unused, "therell be b%anquetng
tonight with some fair Jessie OF
Pearl and a choice between the
Sultan of Timbul a. the Dainty
Divinity Burlesquers,' and Annie,
the Factory Girl"
With these pleasant vagaries run
ming through his brain "Shifty0 lay
there in the darkness and waited.
Ten minutes passed-2O. Then,
suddenly, the silence was Jared by
footsteps. Voices arose in excited
colloquy. "Shifty' lay very quiet
now, scarcely daring to breathe. He
recognized the nasal tones Of the
thin, nervous nan with the squint
and the eyeglasses, and he mentally
consigned that gentleman to heated
realms. Presently he heard the
persistent fend asking a woman
whether she had seen anything of a
small man with dark hair and eyes
come up the alley.
"No, l haven't seen him. an
swered the woman. ''Ihe only man
seen come up the alley was Mike
McCarty, and he's not no small man
with dark hair and eyes, but he's
big and got red hair and is a brick

and Jefferson"
"Shifty" giggled involuntarily
and then, hushed and reproducing
himself for his carelessness, lay very

THE TABLE D'AoTE CAT.

At the table d'hote restaurant he
took a piece Of roast from his plate
and was about to give it to the large
black cat that bliiked on the floor
at their feet, but she stopped him.
"Don't do that" she implored.
"He is a table d'hote cat. You are
only wasting your roast. He won't
touch a bite Of it until he has had
his fish,"

stopped at the first haystack and ate
our supper and went to sleep.
In the night | woke up. There
were people on the other sidecof the
haystack. Awoman was crying. 1t
wasn't any red eyed, shifting, com
mon folks crying; it was the cry Of
a thoroughbred who was up against

was sorry that he couldn't help it.;
he didn't love her any more change

accept conditions.
She said something about the love
Of the old days and the claim it gave
her. That seemed to make the fell
low tired and he said he didn't care
for hash love. He asked her TO give
him something-I couldn't hear
what-and she said she wouldn't, it
was hers and he should never have

WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
EST FROM THE CAPITOL

The large Republican majorities
, In both houses Of the sixtieth Con-
gIess, which opened at noon on
Monday, give promise of q BUSH
~ness-like session which will be
noted chiefly for its conservative
tone. Finaacial Legislation will
command the most attention on
the part of leaders In both houses
and they express confidence in
the expectation that some meas
ure will be inscribed in the statute
books before final adjournment,
after a careful and thorough con-
sideration of the subject.
The handsome and multi-col-
ored costumes of the hundreds of
women who crowded the Senate
galleries made a very brilli-
ant setting for the sombre gather
ing which slowly Assem- bled in the
chamber below, While there
we're many hearty greetings, nu-
merous cordial congratulations
and introductions of new Senators
it was noticeable that in almost
every instance some reference to
the death of Senators Morgan and
Pettus OF some expression of re-
greet for the absence of Senator
Spooner gave a sober turn to the
conversation, and there was less
laughing and Joking than 10 usual
at the opening Congress.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1907-12-13

has prepared a bill which he will
submit to the Senate at a favor
able opportunity, providing for a
commission of business and hnan-
cial experts, not members of Con-
gress, to examine the schedules of
the Bingley tariff and make rec
concentrations to Congress of
suoh changes as seem advisable.
There Is every indication, however
that when the measure is referred
to the Committee on Finance it
will not again see the light of day.
Senate leaders declare that Con-
gress will lever delegate it's auth
osity to readjust the tariff sched-
ules to any commission of experts
and 1t Is recalled that President
Roosevelt in one of his early mes
sages, recommended the creation
of a tariff commission, suoh as 10
now suggested by MI. Beverage,
but the Recommendation was quiet
ly ignored by Congress.
