There was some fur

did not have any chance at all. They just put up

he finished.
At the Capitol he got

with me long enough to
tell me which was the

of a gold mine millionaire

that would make the
glow through the paneled

moon in eclipse.
Then he went away,
and l began to look for
Amos. Mr.. Teale had
told me which was the

and the less the family witnesses his leisure the
better he's pleased l can't see what comfort he

She chuckled she talked; but the laugh, as

Well, you know some one has said of Washington
that is in the city where big from little towns
become disillusioned but Amos Rural is good
timber. Frankly, however, he mustn't stay bark
bound; some new branching and little loosening
of the soil about the roots will immensely increase
his chances of prominent place the front lawn
of the House, and some very optimistic people hold
that the House is the nursery from which the best
senatorial trees are taken"
You mean that Amos may be Senator next

Next time sounds as if nothing short of re-
