Andrew, impatient and totally uncon-
bluntly locked his door in her very
face and. getting out his printing
frame, settled down to business.
The sunshine was bright in his south
window, and he had print complet
ed in quick time. He held it to the
light eXcitedly, the water dripping
from it.
christmas, it's a goddess he ejac-
ulated
She peered out at him, her laughing
face round AID mischievous. Her
dress was of olden style, with huge
panniers at the side and a trim, laced
bodice with a low French neck and
little puff sleeves. One tiny foot stuck
out saucily in a high heeled French
boot
Andrew stared at her amazed. The
arched eyebrows and delicate face
were patrician She might have just
stepped cut of some Old Trench paint

he snapped the picture? 1t was all

him:
"Any little French court ladies
around here?' he inquired.
Andrew opened the door, and Lemuel
came in, a puzzled expression on his
honest old face.
Not that | know Of" he answered.
T..
laughed Andrew, because 1 saw one
in the woods yesterday, puffs and ruff
fes and high heeled shoes"
You did," exclaimed Lemuel slow
ly. You did, eh?'
Then, to Andrews SURPRISE Lemuel
quickly took the key from the lock
and, putting it in again on the outside
of the door, went out, locking it behind
him.
Andrew pounded and yelled in rage
and surprise, but all to no purpose. A
half hour went by; then a carriage
drew up to the door, and a second lat
err Lemuel unlocked Andrews door and
entered a strange gentleman with him.

strange gentleman remarked

he said Lets see the picture"
Andrew brought it sulklly forth, not
yet understanding.
Its my niece. Dianthe Barrows,"
explained the doctor after minute,
still laughing.
Andrew smiled. Dianthe.
How the name fitted her.
'She was attending a fancy dress
lawn party at Stratford about six
miles UP the river, on the other side.
She padded down in her canoe and,
seeing those pretty birch trees, wan

in the bushes. She saw you, but you,
Of course, did not see her She knew
that she would probably show in the

from behind the trees Just as you
snapped it. She was dressed in a
French costume thGt used to be her

laugh last night when she told us
about it. We could imagine what a
surprise it would be to the gentleman,
whoever he might be- after the picture
was printed"
1T was,' said Andrew, laughing him
self now.
Isis she staying with you here in
town?'
The doctor smiled a little
Yes; for the summer. At present
she is sitting outside in my buggy,

Andrew promptly. 81 always knew

DIED AT AN ADVANCED AGE
The End Came at Country Home
 in Pennsylvania.
It Wa. Probably Due to Colonel Mc- Ciure That LincoIn's Nemina- tisn by Repubs Was Brought
 About.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 6.--CoI. Alexander K. Mcclure, Prothonotary of the Supreme and Superior Courts of Pennsylvania and for many years a prominent figure in politics and journ- aiism, died today at his home in Wal lingford. Delaware county, aged eighty-one years.
 Coi.sMcCiure had been suffering from lnfirmities due to his advanced years for some time.
 Born in Perry county. Pa. he be- when only nineteen years of age. He first gained political prominence in lss3, when he was nominated and de- feated for auditor general by the Whigs.
 A member of the Republican conven- ton which nominated Lincoln in 1Ssps Mcclure was the one who suggested that the Pennsylvania delegates should break away from simon Cameron. nf Pennsylvania. and vote for Lincoln. This was done and Lincoln's name stampeded the convention. He form ed close relations with President Lfn- coln and his Cabinet. and took prom lnent part in national politics.
 Colonel Mcclure came to PhiladeI- phia more than hfty years ago. where for a short time he practiced law. In 1S7a he was narrowly defeated tor mayor of Philadelphia after . bitter contest. With the late Frank Me- Laughiin, he established 'The Times. and for years yielded trenchant ed- itorial pen. One Of his greatest bat ties was . crusade against the dandy mayor" William B. Smith.
 He was for many years president oi the Clover Club.

WEEK IN CONGRESS
MAY ACT UPON THE COTTON
 SCHEDULE TODAY.
This VIII Bring the Senate Face to Face With the woOlen Schedule. Re-Enactment of Dingiey
 Rates.

Washington. June s.-Having acted upon most of the vexed problems in the cotton schedule during the past week, the Senate expects to complete this schedule on Monday or Tues day.
 This will bring the Senate face to face with the wool schedule, which is practically a re-enactment of the DInEIey rates, but which, neverthe- less, will be fought with progressive Republicans aided by the Democratic senators.
 AS night sessions will be held throughout the week. indications point to a completion of the wooden sched- ule by Thursday or Friday. No pro- gram has been outlined as to the schedule to be taken up following the woolen schedule. but 1t is probable that some work will be done upon the free list. A meeting of the Finance Committee has been called for 9:30 o'clock Monday when the policy of the Senate, so far as the committee 10 con- earned, will be outlined. A date will be fixed also for the reporting oS amendments on a number of queB- tlons not yet acted upon in committee.
 On account of the progress made during the past week, Senate leaders are predicting that the bill will be voted upon in the Senate by June 1p and that Congress will be ready to adjourn by July {.
 If a quorum is obtained in the House Monday the Porto Rican bill will be taken up.
