The De Armond- Williams Clash

these long.range observers read with
absolute amazement the statement
that the Missourian is 63 years old.
To account for the act of the seeming
ly self-contained one in calling his
colleague liar there are people to
declare that it was not De Almond
who used "the shorter and uglier
word" it was Missouri. There is
something in this, doubtless.
David A. De Almond is a lawyer,
one Of the best. 80 it is said, in the
congress. He was appointed one of
the managers on the part Of the house
In the impeachment proceedings
against Judge Sweyne. Of Florida.
Everything that De Almond says
apparently is measured, but neverthe-
less there is no hating in his speech,
and what he says is well worth lis.
tening to, and, what's more, it is lis.
tened to. De Almond is the last man
in the house of representatives who
would be named as one likely to be
engaged in a brawl, let alone to bring
on the brawl by a heated word out Of
his own mouth.

~rhe sona of the shirt.r

The select committee of the Brit.
ish house Of commons, in taking
testimony recently in regard to the
control aud regulation of the con-
ditfons under which home work is
carried on, heard the evidence of the
president Of the Women's Trade
Union league.
She said that the difficulty in or
ganfzing home workers was due to
the fact that they were too poor to
help themselves. This witness men
toned the case of a woman known
to her who could earn only IS cents
a week by shirt making. She men
toned the case Of another shirtmaker
who received only 81 cents a dozen
for making shirts.
The witness produced blue cotton
shirts which were made for 1311 cents
dozen. She said that without char
table subsidies or poor law relief
the persons who accepted these low
wages could not exist.

regards their yachting trip to make to
Marina.
The consequence is that her hus-
band soon after brings her into the
parlor the party has secured for their
general use. AS he does so, Barnes
notices something in the brides man
ner to her husband that increases his
alarm for her. In the morning, though
Marina's eyes showed traces of the
sufferings their owner had undergone,
they wers full of hope as they rested
on her bridegroom. Now despair ap-
pears to have taken its place as her
beautiful orbs linger lovingly yet sad
ly on the man she adOres, and then
seem to turn from him agitated by
some hidden determination.
A moment after Anstruther says, in
a loud tone intended for his brides
ears: Take care of her while do my
packing" adding in cautious whis-
per to Barnes: "See if you can find
out what is really the matter with my
darling. Some devilish thing must
have happened to her at the railroad
depot. She won't tell me. You dis

Under these circumstances, Barnes
is very eager to learn the balance of
the note which had shattered the
brides nerves.
"Glad you're looking so fit, Marina, -
he remarks, lightly, for they have
grown into the habit of addressing
each other with the familiarity of com.
ing relatives. MAUD told me you
wished to speak to me-"
"Why, certainly, Burton, I-you-

to even hint to my husband its con.

"Why, of course. 'Tis best for Ed
win, at present, at all events, to be in

darkly himself: adding assuringly:
"You must pick up courage, my dear
girl. You faced a greater trial only
two days ago."

with a pair of flashing eyes alertly yet
intently fixed upon some window of
the hotel near where Burton is stand
ing.
Dressed in the deep mourning of
southern France, a high Corsican hat
lends picturesqueness to his costume.
A certain family likeness suggests to
Barnes that this man, though nearly
Is years younger, is the half brother
of the dead Count Musso Danella. Sud-
denly the man responds to something
he has seen in one of the windows of
the hotel by nasty, sneering grin.
What did he see in the Window
ishment bolts from the room, runs
down the stairs of the hotel, and
passes through the Office into the
street.
In the throng of the rather crowded
Rue Noailles he fails to find this man
he now feels quite certain must be
Corregio Danella.
Then the American glances up at
the windows of the hotel and at the
third from that in which he had been
standing, the one he knows is Marina's
chamber. he sees the bride of Edwin
Anstruther staggering away.
Can it be possible that Edwin's
wife has given this man some signal
from her window that caused his tri-
umph?"
A moments consideration effaces
this thought. mo woman can be more
devoted to her husband than the bride
of Edwin Anstruther. Whatever the
agitated girl has done is intended for
her husbands safety. What can that
be?"
A second later, he thinks, it must
have merely been some sign of woe
or fear that had produced the triumph
of Corregio Danella.
This reminds Barnes Of Marina's re-
quest to see him. II will find out from
Mrs. Anstruther the contents of that
devilish letter this astute distractor of
matrimonial bliss sent her." he thinks,
and steps rapidly back into the hotel.
Upon the second floor, finding Ed
win still stalking about the passage
way and keeping his watch upon his
wife's chamber, Burton quite shortly
states he has q suggestion or two as

DON'T USE SEVERE BITS.

Of pulling in that way. II you put a

him and the harder you pull him the
more he will pull against it. When I

There are great many horses that
