CHAPTER xIV.-Continued.

"You are enjoying your visit in
Springfield, trust? You have seen
the Lincoln monument and the home
stead? How very interesting they
Eust be! And the legislature offers
novelty; don't you find it so?" She
gathered her skirts as if to withdraw
But Mrs. Overman Hodge-Lathrop
achieved a smile.
1--WE have not enjoyed the pleasures
Of sightseeing. On the contrary, we
came to appear before the senate, -
she said.
Miss Greene surveyed her critically,
with that look in which one woman
:nspects another woman's attire. She
then extended her critical scrutiny to
the dress of the others.

The ladies again exchanged
glances. Mrs. Barbourton plainly could
not bear that their position should be
equiv0cal. She doubtless had her lit
tie valnglorious wish to have their
success known.
Mrs. Overman Hodge-Lathrop
came down to appear in opposition
to the woman's rights resolution"
She emphasized the word woman as If
she would not for worlds have been a
'womar herself
'Indeed!" exclaimed Miss Greene
II am sure her appearance must have
been very convincing argument" :"
She gave her opponent another search
ing glance. Mrs. Overman Hodge
Lathrop was having difficulty in get
ting her breath.
I'VE have been having taste of
lobbying, Miss Greene" she began
"and-"
How unpleasant" said she.
"You know, possibly" said Mrs.
Overman Hodge-Lathrop, regaining
something of her position.
"Indeed l do,' Miss Green assented.
sweetlS, but where it is in the line
of ones profession, duty obscures the
unpleasantness. One cannot, you
know, always choose ones occupation.
Good 9lorning!"
And catching her skirts, with a
smile and bow she left.
The successful lobbyists stood in 81

with wide and staring eyes. Then at

The elevator was rushing down
again in it's perilous descent, and when
Its door flew open they saw Mrs. Over
man Hodge-Lathrop come out OF the
car. Vernon rose hastily.
There she u.s." he said. I'VE
mustn't keep her waiting"
Amelia rose, but she caught his
hand and gave it a sudden pressure.
But you haven't answered my ques-
tion," she said, with a continuity of
thought that was her final surprise for
him. Are you so very badly disap-
pointed. after all?"
'Well, no." he said. II don't think
1t would do. 1t would-well. it would
complicate"
Mrs. Hodge-Lathrop was standing in
the door, peering impatiently into the
ann little room. They stared toward
her.
Anyway, dear heart" Amelia whis-
pered as they went, remember this
that you did it all for me-

him wiz; the new tenderness that her
new name: exhaled, Vernon felt q
change within himself, and his heart
swelled.
Dearest she said, in a voice that
hesitated before the idea of some nee
essary reparation, "are you really so
badly disappointed?"
He looked at her, then suddenly ho
drew her into his arms, and she let
her head rest for an instant on his
shoulder; but only for an instant. Then
she exclaimed and was erect and all
propriety.
"You forget where we are. DEAR"
she said.
Il don't care about that" he re-
piled, and then, glancing swiftly about
in all directions, he kissed her.
Morley" she cried, and her cheeks
were red, new and happy red.
They sat there, looking at each
other.
"You didn't consider, you didn't
really consider her pretty, did you?"
Amelia asked.
why, Amelia, what question:"
"But you didn't? Don't evade,
Morley
"Oh, we'll, now, she's not bad look
ing, exactly, but as for beauty-well.
she's rather what I'd call handsome"
"Handsome!" Amelia exclaimed,
drawing back.
why, yes. Don't you see. dear?"
Vernon was trying to laugh. Cant
you see the distinction? We call men
handsome, don't we? Not pretty, or
anything like that. But women! All.
women! Them we call, now and then,
beautiful! And you, darling, you are
beautiful"
They were face to face again, both
smiling radiantly. Then Amelia drew
| away, saying:
Morley, don't be ridiculous"
But I'm dead in earnest, DEAR" he
went on. And think you ought to
make some sort OF amends for all the
misery you've caused me-"
You poor boy!" she said, with the
pity that is part of a woman's tri-
umph.
Il did it," he said, lust because
dove you, and have learned in yon
what women are capable of, what they
might do in politics."
I'm politics! Morley! Can you
imagine me in politics? I thought you
had more exalted opinion of women:
l thought you kept them on higher
plane"
But you" Vernon laughed, and
shook his head at the mystery of it.

worthy. In round figures there is invested in
theatrical ventures in this country about $780,,
100000
Does this sum seem excessive?
Then remember the wide expanse of ter
ritory represented by the words United States
OF America, and try to realize that practically
every city and hamlet in the land has It's the.
ater or opera house, that in every case the ac
feasibility of the theater itself is matter of
supreme Importance, and that this fact at
once necessitates the expenditure of high rent
ais or the purchase of highpriced properties
that the operator of a theater, In fact, must ex-
pect at the very outset to pay the maximum
of property values whether he leases or buys.
In New York, for instance, the Rialto has
steadily moved uptown keeping pace with the
city's growth northward and to-day the costli-
est theaters in the world are centered about
Times Square-in Broadway and in the ada
cent side streets within radius of half a
dozen blocks from the point of supreme COM
mercial competition.
Main street in the average American village
would not be Main street without its theater
or Opera House." and there can be no doubt
that in these smaller communities, as in the
great metropolitan cities, the theater property
will be found listed among the most valuable
holdings in realty.
In Chicago there are q, Baltimore 9, Wash
ington s, Buffalo Z. Cincinnati II, while prac-
tically every one of the larger cities through
out the country has an average of from three
to five theaters, and though for the time being
many of them are given over to moving picture
shows they all represent an aggregate of cap
ital invested for the sake of providing amuse'
ment for the public. Moreover, in every state
of the union the smaller towns as we'll as the
capitals and metropolis are well supplied with
temples to the muse. The following table gives
an approximate of the number of places in
each state where regular attractions are
booked though there are some OF the number
undoubtedly that are merely public halls rath-
than wellequipped theaters But it must be
remembered also that innumerable minor
towns have halls where theatrical entertain
ments are given, and these are not comprised
in the booking schedules.

amount Of money expended by the public In its
search for amusements, and the aggregate in
dollars, running we'll up toward $2O,OO0,0 900 for

sonable estimate. What it costs to provide
these theatrical amusements for a year, q
month, a week, or even a day, is a subject,
however, of such indefinite conjecture that it
has not yet got into type. or. If it has. in such
q desultory and fragmentary way, and with so
much omitted and so much taken for granted,
that the figures cannot be said to have carried

theatrical producers of America expend in
their efforts to cater to the vast clientele
which looks to this form of amusement for
relief from the dull cares of the daily routine
or the highly charged nervous wear and tear

possible. And, though lacking somewhat in
defniteness, they tell story of vast treas.
ure all being poured through practically the
one channel of enterprise.

MAKES A FLOATING COMPASS.
Peculiarly of Magnetlzed Needle
When Placed in Water.

If thoroughly dry and clean sew.
ing needle is very carefully laid on
the surface of the water in a basin
the needle will float in spite Of the
high density of steel-seven or eight
times that of water.
On close inspection 1t is found that
the surface Of the water is depressed
under the needle, very much as II
there were a thin film stretched over
the water, and slightly indented by the
weight Of the needle. This property
of liquids, of offering a certain assist
ance to force exerted upon their sur
face, is termed surface extension"
The magnitude Of the force of surface
tension varies from one liquid to an
other. 1t is greatest in the case Of
mercury. The cause Of the phenome-
non must probably be looked for in
the attraction of the liquid molecules
to one another. A sewing needle, thus
floating upon water, may be used as a
compass, if it has previously been
magnetized. 1t will then point north
and south, and will maintain this po-
sition if the containing vessel is
moved about; II the needle 10 dis
placed by force it will return to its
position along the magnetic meridian
as soon as the restraint is removed.

CURRENCY OF FURs AND SKINS.
Primitive Mode of Exchange That Pre-
vailed In Early Days.

In the early days Of the United
States furs and skins were very gen
orally transferred from hand to hand
as money. Thus, in the northern
states, a pound of beaver was regard
ed as the unit of value, and in the
south the same weight of deerskin
performed a similar function. In the
far west furs retained currency val
ne until quite recent date. But. aft
er all, as a bale of skins was rather a
bulky roll OF money To carry about, 1t
was customary to cut off small strips
as tokens of ownership and pass them
from hand to hand, while the skins
were deposited in recognized places of
security Proof of rightfHl ownership
was demonstrated when the strip was
fitted to the part from which it had
been detached. Trickery in substitute
ing another skin was not SO easy as
might be imagined, because it seldom
happened that two skins would prove
so exactly similar in shade and length
of fur where the strip was out off as
to deceive even the eye of novice.

Liquor Seizure Case IN Westerly
Judge Williams Declares Seized Liquor Forfeited to the
Ssate-Riverpoint Wants Horse Thief Reynolds
Opening of Two-State League Season Today.

At the regular weekly session of the
Third district court, Judge Oliver Fl.
Williams, Friday, the time was most
~ occupied in the trial of the case of
Police Sergeant Thomas z. Brown,
complainant against the liquor seized
in, the Martin House pharmacy. in
which Attorney A. Z. T.. Ledwidge put
III appearance for claimant at a ses-
sion of the court a week ago. The
trial brought out evidence to show al
legged sales in connection with the seiZ-
ure.
Police Sergeant Thomas E. Brown
testified that on April IS, served search
warrant on drug store in Martin house,
north end, and, supposedly, occupied by
Oliver E. Gavitt, and is south of the
entrance to the Martin house and
north of the driveway. Made search
at in the morning and service war
rant on Mr.. Gavitt. Found no liquors
in the rear. Officer Holland found a
quart of Whiskey near the soda foun-
tain. Searched side room and cellar
and found empty bottles in the cellar
In the rear room there were pint and
half pint bottles. Mr.. GaVitt accom-
panied officers into back room and
conducted them to the cellar. Have
seen Mr.. Gavitt in the store frequent
~ during past six months or so, at
tending to the business. Have been
in the store on former occasions and
made a visit there last November.
The question of whether evidence in
a former liquor case seizure was adj
missable or not was raised, and, after
argument. the court declared the ev-
idence as admissible.
