-Oh. l understand" said Cowley,
and he laughed significantly.
When Vernon reached the hotel he
set to work in earnest. He tramped
about half the night. until he had seen
every senator who could be found. He
noted a change in them; IL he did not
find them hostile he found many OF
them shy and reluctant. But when he
went to his room he had enough prom
ises to allay his fears and to restore, in
a measure. his confidence. and he fell
asleep thinking of Maria Greene, hap

there, at the first table his eye alighted
on sat Maria Burley Greene. She saw
him at once, for she faced the door,
and she greeted him with a brilliant
smile. With springing step he rushed
toward her both hands extended in his
eagerness. She half rose to take them;
their greeting silenced the early break
fasters for an instant. Then he sat
down opposite her and leaned over
with a radiant face as near to her as
might be. considering the width of the
tablecloth and the breakfast things be-
tween.
And so you're here at last" he ex-
claimed.
His eyes quickly took in her toilet;
remarkably fresh it was, though 1t

night before, as do the toilets of some

tailored faultlessly to every fiat seam

side her plate lay her veil, her gloves,
and brass tagged key. And her face,
clear and rosy in its rich beauty, was
good to look upon. The waiter had
just brought her strawberries.

lengthens Their Day, Giving Them
More Time for Feeding.

Winter has always proved a trying
time for rare and delicate birds in the
geological gardens. One interesting
theory has been advanced, that owing
to the long nights in these latitudes
in winter the poor birds do not feed
long enough during the day to keep
body and soul together" In the old
insect house some good was effected
by inducing the birds to feed before
dawn with the aid Of a powerful motor
lamp which was placed there an hour
in the winter.

London Daily Mail. an elaborate in

down the steps to the sidewalk. Along
the curbstone many men had placed
chairs and in these cool and quiet ed
dies Of the brawling stream OF politics
they joked and laughed peacefully.
Sixth street stretched away dark and

THE NEW FISH LAW

According to the new law pas
sed by the last Legislature it is un-
lawful to kill, take, or have in pos
session any bass, pike, or pickerel
during the months of November,
December, January, February March
and April.
This law was passed with an
emergency clause and went into
effect on the first day of April
1909.
| understand that it is option
al with the county commissioners
of each county whether they con-
slider pickerel scavanger fish or
not and if they do consider it as
such they have the right to permit
people to remove these fish from
the water during the closed season.
understand that a large Pc
tition has been handed to the coun-
ty commissioners and signed by hun
dreds of people asking that body
to declare piekerel a scavanger
fish in Lake Pelican and allow
people to get them out of that
lake at any time of the year.
1t is fact that hundreds of
poor families get a good deal of
benefit from the fish caught out
OF Lake Pelican during the win
ter months. The fish in that lake
are not fit. to eat as soon as
warm weather comes and no one
ever fishes there with hook
and line during the Summer
months. 1t would be crime to
deprive the people of this vicinity
the right to use these fish when
they are fit to use.
