Handled Without Gloves.

senate, was handled without gloves
yesterday by speakers before the
house committee on banking and
currency with the exception of
Charles c. Glover president of the
Riggs National Bank, WASHINGTON
none OF those who spoke favored IN,
passage at this time OF an emergency
measure. The sentiment was almost
unanimous that if n permanent
financial bill cannot become a ln.,
now no attempt should be made TO
amend the present laws.
The speakers who followed Mr.
Glover representing interests lr
Minneapolis, st. Paul. Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Richmond
took issue with his statement that
financial conditions have not i'm
proved, and said they saw no signs
OF an impending panic. one OF the
sections most frequently criticised

midst of a thicket of willows, wide
awake, yet not quite ready to ford the
Fourche and plunge into the dense
shadows shrouding the northern shore.
Crouched behind a log, he had SO far
yielded unto temptation as to light his
pipe
Murphy had been amid just such
unpleasant environments many times
before, and the experience had grown
somewhat prosaic- Even Indian-scout-
ing degenerateS into a commonplace
at last So Murphy pulled contentedly
at his old pipe.
But suddenly there was the faint
crackle of a branch to his left, and
one hand instantly closed over his pipe
bowl, the other grasping the heavy re-
volver at his hip There came plain,
undisguised rustling in the grass

Taxed, and he cursed himself for being
so startled, yet he continued to grasp

That single word. hurled thus unex-
pectedly out of the black night, startled
him more than would a voliey of rifles.
He sprang half erect, then as swiftly
crouched behind a willow, utterly un-
able to articulate- For the instant his
very blood ran cold, he appeared to
shrivel up.
.-Oh. come, Murphy; speak up. man;
know you're in here"
That terror of the unknown instant
ly vanished This was the familiar
language Of the world, and, however
the fellow came to be there, it was
assuredly a man who spoke
Who-the hell-are ye?" he blurt-
ed out

The visitor laughed, the bushes
rustling as he pushed toward the
sound of the voice Its all right, old
boy Gave We quite a scare, reckon
Murphy could now dimly perceive
the other advancing through the inter
vening willows. and his Colt shot UP
to the level. "Stop,-ye take another
step an I1l-let drive. Ye tell me
-frst-who We be-"
The invader paused, but he realized
the nervous finger pressing the trigger
and made haste to answer. Its all
right, 1 tell We. I'm one o. Terry's

''Ye are? Jist the same-Ive heard

Murphy was still a trifie suspicious.
How'd We git yere? How'd We come

The man laughed again. "Sorter

Murphy reluctantly lowered his Colt,
every movement betraying annoyance
II reckon. But Fd-a damn sight
rather risk it-alone."
The stranger came forward without
further hesitation. The night was far
too dark to reveal features, but to
Murphy's strained vision the new
conner appeared somewhat slender in
build. and of good height.

He advanced a few strides toward
his horses. Then suddenly he gave
vent to a smothered cry, so startling
as to cause the stranger to spring
hastily after him.

He seemed suddenly to collapse, and
the stranger permitted him to drop
limp to the earth.
Darn if 1 kin see anythin', old
man, but FL scout round thar a bit,
jest ter ease yer mind, an see what l
kin skeer up.
He had hardly taken half dozen
steps before Murphy called after him:
"Don't-don't go an leave me-it's
not there now-thet's queer,''
The other returned and stood gazing
down upon his huddled figure. You're
a fine scout, afeard O. spooks. Do We

We do, / reckon as how I'd sooner be
