committee should report rule limiting the whole debate to three hours, that on the rule itself being limited to one half hour.
 Test Vote Taken.
 Senator Gilchrist made motion in fa- vor of fixing the hour of final adjourn ment at 2 D. m., but he was overruled by a vote of 23 to '. On this vote, which was in the nature of a test, the lineup was the same as the original vote on the gambling bills. those in the negative being Burr, Emerson, Gil christ, Grattsn, Knapp, Wemple and Wilcox-Cassidy absent
 The result of the finance committee meeting was that 1t was left to the rules committee to fix the hour for final adjournment fin accordance with the developments of the day, and the concensus of the committee was that 1t would be some time between noon and p. m. today.
 Grady Comedies a Point.
 It was in this committee that Sen ator Grady. leader of the Democratic minority. who from the beginning has led on the senate fiosr the opposition to the antigam' ling bills. surprised everybody not in his confidence by suddenly agreeing for his own part that debate should be Sc limited as to bring the final vote at noon. Up to that moment it had been expected that the opposition would exhaust every means to delay the vote and that only the sheer brute force of the majority fin adopting drastic rules to limit de bate could compel a vote on the bills if. indeed. it coulI be accomplished even ,heE.
 There is no use 'n having a mere test of physical eI urance," Senator Grady is reported to have said to tho committee. of which he is member "I am no novice in buclring cloturs rules. and I know and have told Sen stor McCarrsn that you mean to have a vote on these bills before you ad journ and tbw sooner or later you would bring Us to il. It might as vel be at noon as at midnight"

 The captain really has fighting blood in his veins, as he says, for he is de scended from General Stark of Revo- lutionary war fame, and is related to Colonel Ellsworth of the Ellsworth zouaves. He was also in the Ninth New York during the Spanish war and has been connected with the United States engineer corps.

FOELKER IN

LAST DAY OF SESSION.

Albany, \. Y., June II. - Senator Otto c. Foelker, upon whom Governor Hughes counted to pass the Agnew- Hart snti-race track gambling bills. is here. He arrived from Staatsburg in a state of complete collapse.
 IL was the most sensational arrival of any legislator in the history of the capital. If Foelker is able to vote for the bills they will probably pass. If he is not Hughes last hope for crushing gambling at race tracks this summer will be gone.
 In the care of pr. Murphy and q nurse Senator Foelker arrived on the western express He had suffered an attack of vomiting when carried on the train at Staatsburg and bundled into a statnroom. and the attending physician was compelled to administ an opiate to put him to sleep.

Savinu on Drink.

That men will drink less while they
have something to look at or to listen
to is proved by the sobriety which at
tends public amusements in England.
No-consumption of alcoholic refresh
ments is allowed in the auditorium,
and 1t is rare that the patrons leave
their seats for drink at the bars
indeed many Of these resorts are con-
Quoted on strictly temperance lines.
At the theaters, too, the consumption
of alcoholic refreshments during the
entr'actes has latterly been reduced
to a minimum. Midway in the pan
tomimes, the descent of the curtain is
contemporaneous with the appearance
of trim mattresses and the tea tray.
Even in the theater bars the lords of
creation prefer the cup that cheers
to whisky and soda.

CUSTOM OF ORIENTAL NATIONS.
Salute by Kissing the Foot y as Old
as History.

The custom of kissing the feet OF
persons whom it was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The peo-
pie of oriental nationals used to fids
the hands and feet or hens of the
clothes of the persons they wished 10
show respect for.
The ancient Egyptians got this Gus
tom from the Assyrians, and later the
Greeks adopted the habit from the
Egyptians. The Romans followed the
Greeks, and then Pontifex Maximus
had his great toe kissed by celebrities
The story will be remembered Of the
old Briton ruler who appeared to do
homage to a Roman monk after the
conquest Of Briton. He-was told that
it was customary to kiss the foot Of
the holy father. He hesitated for
a moment and then, bending down,
he suddenly seized the monk by the

The toe Of the sultan of Turkey is
kissed by subjects of high rank. Those

less his skill had nearly matched the
others or equaled It
The two men approached SO close
ly that further fencing became i'm
possible. With swift movement
Strathgate forced aside Carrington's
sword and sprang back out OF reach.
He dropped his sword for a moment
and stood painting slightly.
Darlington spoke now.
Has my lord exhausted his attack"
he said softly.
Strathgate's answer was a resump
tion OF his guard and another hard
and direct lunge for his enemy's heart
Darlington smiled as he parried. He
had been in some doubt as to his abil
ity to sustain Strathgate's attack He
was no stranger to the field of honor,
but he had never faced a sword SO i'm
bued with venomous life as that that
slivered along his blade this morning.
Yet he imagined that Strathgate had
done his best. He had shot his bolt.
He could do no better than he mad
done, and there began to come into
Carrington's mind sense of mastery.
Again he met Strathgate's furious at
tack. This time 1t seemed to- Car
rington that the onslaught was less
rapid and less dangerous. Probably
this was a misapprehension and the
fact that Darlington parried the vi
cious thrusts more easily may have
been due to a growing sense of famil-
!arity with Strathgate's method.
Btu Strathgate was not yet spent.
There were certain dangerous thrusts
he knew of, dangerous in that they
exposed the one who used them to a
counter-attack, and dangerous from
their uneXpectedness to one against
whom they We're made; consequently.
Strathgate was usually doubtful about
employing them, but Darlington had
confined his attention simply to parry
ing, save the first thrust, and Strath-
gate, thinking rapidly, determined that
1T would be safe to employ this un-
usual stroke. After marvellous

terrifically upward.
If Darlington had been returning

gate had shot the bolt.
But no, Strathgate attacked as furi-
ously as ever, but this time my lord S
tactics were different. AS if the sight
of his own blood had maddened him
he was not content to parry. but he
himself assumed the offensive. Like
diamonds the points of the blades

blade fell upon another blade was con
tinuous. 1t was bewildering to Ellen, be

Good cooking is rapidly becoming

beginning to pay the penalty of his
life ana Of his desperate endeavors in
the commencement of the attack. His
breath came shorter, the sweat stood
thick upon his brow. Darlington grew
cooler after the first flush of passion
consequent upon his slight wound. His
strength grew greater. He pressed
StEathgate harder. But the earl was
not yet done. Nerving himself. sum-
moning all his resolution to his aid.
in series Of brilliant onslaughts he
sought to bring to sudden end an af-
fair for which, II it should be much
more prolonged, he knew his strength
would be unequal.
But Darlington met him with a
wrist of steel and blade quicker than
the light itself. How it was done,
no one could see, but after a series of
rapid thrusts and disengagements, the
spectators saw Strathgate suddenly
throw up his arms. His blade fell

thrusting out from his back. Caring
ton had seized an opportunity and had
lunged with such force and power and
directness that the quillons Of the hilt
of his rapier had actually struck the
breast of Strathgate as he ran him
through the right shoulder over his
guard. The thrust just grazed the
lung. Darlington strove to withdraw
Strathgate collapsed utterly and
crashed to the ground. swapping of
the projecting end of the blade behind
his back as he fell upon it,
He strove horribly for a moment to
rise and then settled back biting his
lips to stitie a groan of agony. Car

"Strathgate!" cried my lord, bend

words from his lips, you're damned

He stopped.

Parkman said nothing. He fetched
Carrington's coat. waistcoat, sword
and shoes and assisted him to put
them on.

said when Darlington was clothed.

CHAPTER xIx.-Continued.

Pray now. Debbie," whispered
Ellen, "as you never prayed before."
This time neither woman hid her
face. The prayers were all in the
heart. Save for that ejaculation not a
lip moved between them. They stared
as the bird charmed by the snake
stares at his tormentor.
Darlington was stronger man than
Strathgate. He had lived in the gay
world at times, as the other had, but
there had been long periods on the
sea. He had gained a power of wrist
that the other trembled to feel as the
blade pressed heavily against his own.
But battles with swords are not neces-
sarily gained by strength of arm. The
victory is not always to the strong,
sometimes it goes to the swift.
With incredible quickness Strath-
gate engaged his point and lunged
desperately forward. Darlington par
ried with all the swiftness of which
he was capable, and just managed to
ward the blow The blade of his ad-
versary's sword ripped throgh the side
of his shirt, but no blood followed the
thrust. He had escaped unharmed
Strathgate smiled.
1.-The next time!" he said softly to
himself under his breath.
The next instant he warded easily
q furious return attack by Caring
ton, and thereafter for perhaps a min.
ute there followed a succession OF
thrusts and parties with marvellous
rapidity.
Ellen knew something about sword
play. She was no mean fencer her
self, and she saw with an anguished
heart that Lord Strathgate was fore
Ing the attack, and that her husband
had all he could possibly do to keep
from being spitted upon his adver-
sary's nimble sword. Rumor had not
exaggerated Strathgate's wonderful
mastery. His blade was like lam
bent flame and played like lightning
bout her husbands weapon. Des.
Ierate as was the task, however, Car
rington just managed to avoid these
deadly thrusts. His shirt had been
cut in half dozen places, and thin
splotch Of blood showed where one OF
the thrusts had grazed the skin, but
he was practically scatheless.
He confined himself after that first
return to defense, not from choice
but because there was nothing else to
do. Strathgate pressed him unmer
cifully and gave him no opportunity
whatsoever for return. 1t was
thrust, thrust, thrust! with the rapid
ity of thought itself, Indeed, so fierce
so sustained, so desperate was Strath
gates attack that the perspiratior
beaded upon his forehead, his breath
came quick.
Ellen, who had eyes for everything
noted it, so, too, did Darlington. As
for my lord, he had stood to it like
the man and sailor that he was. He
had not given ground one instant, ant
although in the excitement of the con
test Strathgate had pressed him hard

lord had stood as If he were rooted to
