! der you made any attempt to save
that beautiful creature upstairs"
| Most OF the credit belongs to Gray
ton" he laughed, a little harshly.
And was 1t Mr.. Grayton who sent
her here" she questioned, with flush.
ed cheeks.
We'll, no." he said, slowly. II fear
shall have to take the responsibility
for that. Like most other people, I
act occasionally on the impulse of the
| moment"
| Il hope you will never have cause
| to regret following a generous i'm
pulse" she answered, and then she
rose from the table and made her way
once more upstairs.
Clement remained some time longer
and chatted with his mother, but
chiefly on financial affairs--a subject
of perennial interest and anxiety
1t was great trouble to her that
his proposed marriage with an heiress
had fallen through. She did not won
der that he felt bitter toward all
women. She hoped in time he would
get over it, and that some other heir
ess would come his way. It seemed
the only means by which the ancient
glories Of Mawgan Chase could be re-
stored
For the moment, however, she felt
thankful that his antipathy to wom-
en- remained, During the early part
OF the night She had spent an hour or
two with Marion, and she had been
impressed by her youth and beauty.
But she had been equally impressed
by the cut and quality of her clothing.
Certainly her dress was not such as
an English lady of any position would
wear. Judging by the dripping gar.
ments that were taken into the kitch-
en- to dry, she might have been born
and bred in the country and made her
own clothes.
Now, according to present appear
ances, this young woman would be IN
the house for an indefinite time.
When she was able to get downstairs
Clement would be thrown into her
company. Taking into account the
fact that he had been largely instru-
mental In saving her life, the situation
was almost romantic. Hence, if he
were in an impressionable mood. there
might be danger. Young men were
often foolish where women were con-
cerned, especially if the women were
good looking, and that this young wo-
man was good looking there was no,
denying. Therefore, all things consid-
cred, 1t was very fortunate that Glenn
ent still cherished the feelings he did
toward women. 1t would be nothing
less than a calamity il he were to
fall in love with an unknown and pen
niless girl.

War Veterans in Service.

In answer to an inquiry concern
ing war service, 15,207 employees, 80
per cent of the total number reported
that they were war veterans. OF these
veterans S,464 had served in the civil
war and 6,743 in the war with Spain.
The total number of employees at
least so years of age is 1883, and of
this number 1853, or 5S.1 per cent,
are war veterans. Roughly speaking,
therefore, among every ten employees
at least 60 years of age six are war
veterans.
In addition TO the figures for the
employees above considered the buile-
tin also shows separately certain sta
tistics for the postmasters, classifying
them by sex, age, period Of service.
and compensation. 1t also contains
several diagrams illustrating the dis
tribution of the employees by sex, age.
marital condition, character OF ap-
pointment, and other details.

An,usino Sin Of Senator.

Isn't it too distressing to think that
one may. hear the queens English
trifled with in the senate of the United
States? So far as know they don't
say II seen" and II done" over there.
but the grammatical construction that
is put oyer the plate occasionally GER
tainly smells to highest heaven. 10th
eli day, there being not a great
deal doing around the house end
of the capitol, I blew over to the
senate in time to hear a distin-
guished New England senate be
1T forbidden that should mention
his name rise to his feet and remark
with deepest gravity: VIII the
senator give ME permission from
California to ask him a question Z"
The senator did give him permis-
sion, but the permission was from
Washington, not California. was
soutrageously regretfnl that he didn't
say as much.
