cHAprER II.

There was really no reason why Jed AL
den might not aspire 70 the honor OF rep
resenting Kingston In the general assem-
bly, next to be holden Ia the autumn fol-
lowing--if he wanted 10. But it was
some what OF q departure from the beaten
path for Jed Alden, the staid and plod-
ding farmer, with little book learning,
limited knowledge of the world beyond
his vision. unlettered in the art OF politics
and new to the public life Of even his lit
tie town. to announce such an ambition,
and when Cy Rollins reported il at the
next session Of "Scupper's Parliament
there was q sensation quite unsurpassed.
Not being one to let the grass grow
under his feet, once be had essayed q
task. Jed Alden took the first rainy day
of from farm work and went to town.
For about the FIRST time in bis more than
ten years Of married life, Jed had net
connded his new ambition to his wife.
To toll the truth, he dreaded to make the
revelation at home. Knowing, the prac-
tical trend Of Mrs. Alden's mind, her con-
tent with existing conditions and her
dread OF the outer world, he felt sure that
she would treat this latest fancy OF his to
such q liberal application Of cold water
that il would be quite extinguished.
And in its incipient stage this was not
the treatment he sought for II. So he
postponed speaking about it at home un-
iii be should have sounded others whose
opinions--in this particular matter-he
valued more highly.
So the Monday following his talk with
Mr.. Felch, Jed hitched up his nattiest
riR--though Edna protested that it was 9
shame to muddy mp bis newly painted
buggy and soak his best driving harness
IN the driEzling rain--and headed toward
the Center shortly after breakfast. alleg-

Made the Most Of It.

A famous big game hunter visited
the Swazis one winter, and the king
took a liking to him and loaned him,
on his first hunt, the court praiser
The praiser's business was to laud the
king and the kings favorites. The
white hunter on his expedition had
bad luck. He only shot a rabbit. But
as he passed with his retinue through
the Swazl village on his return the
praiser marched before him chanting
in a loud voice:
1.-THE great white huntsman has
killed n ra bbit! Let all the Swazi peo-
pie hear. 1t was as big as an OK, as
fierce as a lion and as swift as buck.
The brave white huntsmnn killed II
alone and unaided. He killed 1t with
his thunder tube. Listen, ye people!
The white huntsman has killed rab-
bit! It was as terrible as tiger. as
large as an elephant. and yet the
huntsman from afar. the great white
slayer. he alone has killed it!'

Tale of a Car Ticket.

There was a goodly proportion of
young men in the Sixteenth street car
when she got in. 1t was car with
seats running longwise. so that the
doubly blessed youths on the opposite
side the car could gaze to their
hearts content And gaze they dfd,
for never did car carry lovelier freight
Unaware that her advent in the car
had changed the heart action Of any of
its passengers, her glorious brown
eyes glanced serenely along the palpi-
tating line of maSculinity opposite as
she tore a ticket from her strip and
placed it between her rosebud lips
while she replaced the strip in her
tiny purse Lucky ticket!
The enraptured young man nearest
the door would have parted with
five spot to possess that equivalent Of
four and one-sixth cents. But here
comes the strangest part The con-
ductor also noticed this most delecta-
BILE resting place Of milady's car tick
ct. And the conductor was young and
not half bad looking. and the con.
ductor was also smitten. A tiny hand
reached up to the dlstracting mouth
and, removing the ticket. handed it to
the conductor. 1t is said that he
blushed. Certain it Is that he took the
fare tenderly between Two fingers and
glanced at 1t pensively. Then-and
the young man nearest the door Is
ready to swear to it-he deposited 1t
carefully IN an inside pocket, Tar re-
moved from the storing place Of all
common tickets. And the question is,
What did he do with it?-Pittsburg

Several days later Serena Sears gave
q dance.
"Of course there won't be any men,"
she said, ''but we can all dress up and
dance with each other. and the girls
are crazy to see that white chiffon Of
yours. Constantia."
But when Constantia was arrayed in
all her glory she surveyed herself
thoughtfully in the mirror. ut seems
bit wasted" she murmured. "Bobbie
always liked me in white"
The dance was not great success
It lacked something. and that some
| thing Constantia said equivocally was
men.
In the days that followed the girls
still futtered and admired. but Con-
stantia looked at them with specula-
tive eyes.
Its a pity" she said over the tea
cups to Maize, "that so many lovely
girls should not marry"
st thought old maidism was the hap
p:est state" Maize ventured.
"Of course, for me-" Constantia said
hastily, "but for you and Serena and
the others-oh, you ought to meet
some nice mem
And all that evening she was
dreamy, and before she weza. to bed
she wrote 4 letter.
Then she planned to give cotillon
before she left town.
81 will have the favors and refresh
ments sent out from the CITY," she
said. Everybody here has been so
kind that want to be hostess before
60"
Aunt Cynthia was induced to con-
sent, and the girls Of Hilton got out
their best gowns.
When the caterer came with his
host of assistants Aunt Cynthia sought
Constantia in a great state Of excite
ment. "You have ordered far too
much" she said.
There was faraway look in Con-
stantia's eyes. They will eat 1t up
she promised.
But girls have such delicate appe-
tites," Aunt Cynthia protested:
"Oh. girls!" Constantia murmured
and dropped the subject.
But when she came downstairs to
greet her guests she was so radiantly
beautiful in pink and silver, with her
eyes like stars, that Maize caught her
breath as she looked at her.
"Constantiaw she cried. what has
happened?"
Just then from without came the
"hcnk- -honk" of q motor horn, which
was echoed by another and another.
and as Maize flung open the door with
the bevy Of pretty girls behind her,
there rolled up to the step big red
car in which were half a dozen ra-
diant youths. and in the second car and
in the third and the fourth. so that IN
all there were twenty-four men to
match the twenty-four girls that Con-
stantia had invited.
81 told Bobbie to bring them Con-
stantia said rs she made the introduc-
tions. and when they had all danced
away together she said to Bobbie
Dwyer, who was hanging over her
adoringly. Men have their place-at
a dance"
How about husbandS?" he demand
ed very promptly and authorltatively.
Constantia dropped her lashes over
her happy eyes. "Oh. WELL" she capt.
ulated, Il should hate to condemn you
to bachelorhood. Bobbie, dear!'
But it was Serena who summed
things up when three months later
half a dozen engagements were an
nounced in Hilton. among them Ma
zie's and her own.

some good" she said. 1T blew Cupid

each broom they buy than it cost them

DEBATE OVER THE
TROLLEY BILL
Senator DrexIer IntimateS
That Railroads Control
Senate

Special 70 THE EVENING JOURNAL 7
DOVER. Del. March 16-Intimations
that the State Senate is swayed by
railroad influences were made during
the debate yesterday over the bill that
had passed the House to give State aid
TO a trolley line through lower Dela-
ware. The Senate threw its harpoon
into the bill. as was stated in THE
EVENING JOURNAL yesterday.
Colonel Theodore Townsend explained
the measure, which he said was advo-
Gated by the farmers of lower Dela-
ware. senator Drexler advocated the
measure Tor the development OF the
state, and had no doubt such a trolley
line would be success financially and
in benefits to the State.
1T has been said" he continued,
"and said broadcast. that this oil
would be killed because this is a rail-
road Senate, and you can demonstrate
fully that IL is such by killing the bill
for IL this is dcne. the public will DE ..
lieve at Dnce that IL is q railroad SEN
ate"
"Blun Is big dog, but hold fast is
a bigger enc. L want to say that no
man can hun me into voting for such
bill by saying l am a railroad man.
No railroad owns me, and so long as
/ am IN .he Senate nobody can per-
suado no 10 help put such a measure
upon the statute books"
Senator Sparks argued that a down
state trolley line would be a losing
proposition financially.
Mr.. Drcxler said there was no at
tempt on nis Tart to bluff. "The vs.
sertion is made by the press and by
tho public that this is a railroad Sem
ate" he edded.
senator Corbit said he disagreed with
Mr.. Drexlor on the probability OF sue
cess, but lie did agree with him as %
the benefits which would be derived.
Senator Finn said
"The Delaware railroad or no other
railroad control my vote. but 1 con-
slider IL dangerous legislation"
Il suppose I am unfortunate in be-
ing a -ailroa1 employe just at this
time" said Senator Conner, but they
have never anlSed me to do anything
only what was fair and right. have
no collar anout my neck and am a free
and independent man."
Senator Monaghan said nobody could
accuse him of being a railroader, but
he confessed that there was doubt in
his mind as 10 the bill.
"Me too. was the only comment of
Senator Dutton.
The vote was then taken, and the
bill was Killed by a vote of nine nays
