tell hard luck story.
The gain over last year Is sub
stantial one as during 1908 there wa:

washington, ID. c. Unless some.
thing happens to provoke heated dis.
cussion Of political character, the
new tariff bill should be enacted into
law and the extraordinary session of
congress adjourned before the end of
this week. Inquiry among senators
opposed to the adoption of the confer.
ence report on the Payne-Aldrich bill
indicates that the debate will not be
as extended as 1t threatened to be
before the conferees reported. The
senate will meet at 10 a. m. Monday.
The session probably will begin at
that hour and will continue to or
Z o'clock p. m. daily until the report
Is adopted. IL it Is found that more
senators desire to speak than has al
ready given notice It is possible that
night sessions may be held.
Senator Aldrich is determined that
the conference report shall not be
carried over into next week. He does
not expect to occupy very much time
himself. He said Saturday that he
would not speak longer than an hour
or two, and that other members of
the committee would occupy compar-
atively little time. 1t Is probable that
senators who were opposed to the
placing of hides on the free list will
have something to say on that sub
ject and that all of the republicans
who voted against the bill when 1t
was on its passage in the senate will
take occasion to explain their action.
Some OF these senators will speak
for the adoption of the conference
report, and some of them are ex-
pected to vote in the negative.
Senator Culberson, leader of the
minority, is authority for the state
ment that the democrats will debate
the conference report thoroughly, but
will not filbuster against its adoption.
Senators Daniel and Bailey, members
OF the committee on finance, will
speak at length against the adoption
Of the conference report, and take the
lead In voicing democratic opposition
to the new tariff bill. Some of the
senate leaders predict that a vote
will be had on the conference report
as early as Thursday, and that the
special session of congress can be
brought to close on Friday.

Darien vs. Autoists.

Six Darien constableS were out Sun- day afternoon trapping motorists. Be- cause of precautions taken, it is said, by the Stamford Automobile Club, only twelve motorists were hailed be- fore Justice Willmott, who held an all- day-long session of the court, and of this number four were fined $5 and costs, or $15.40 each, while two pleaded for trial. The others were let go with a warning The motorists hailed be- fore Judge Willmott were: Charles Beck, Port Chester, driver, fined $15.4O, Connecticut, owner, didn't sound time ly signal at railroad bridge, let go with 2. warning; E. L. Curtis, South port, no license, fined $15.40; William signal, warning; Joseph P. Berubi, chauffeur for Edgar s. Auchincloss, Darien, violation of speed law, gave bond of $50 for appearance; John Klein, New York, no timely signal wich, no license, fined s15.4O; Dr. G. M.

Dolge, Westport no timely signal, gave bond of $25 for appearance; A. S. Beebe, chauffeur for R. F. Louree of New York, no time ly signal, warning. Justice Willmott received $1 for each case that came before him, in which a fine was inn posed: Grand Juror Burt Jackson re- ceived $1 .06; the $5 fine and $1.50 court fees went to the town and there was fee of 60 cents for a warrant, which presumably went to the town. Figured on this basis. Justice Will mott received $4 and Grand Juror Jackson $4.24 for the afternoons work, while the constables had $24.96 to di- vide among them, or S4.16 per man. In addition, there are two cases yet pending.

CHAPTER XXIII.
A Harmony in Gray.

As the trio entered the room Judy | jumped from the sofa vivaciously. The Sheriff followed with an agility won derful in a man of his age; he bade them all welcome: indeed she out-did herself to a degree which made Joy raise her eyebrows. Joy was a sym pathetic soul, and unconsciously adapt ed herself to her Aunt'S approximately.
 To Colonel Ogilvie, less enthusiastic by nature and concern, it appeared that she was as he put it in his own mind "1laying up to the old girl" He seemed to realize that the Sheriff was ardent in his intentions; and, with a calm, businesS-like aptitude of broth er-in-law to a not-young lady, had ali ready made up his mind to give his consent.
 Judy flew to Joy and kissed her fer vently. The kisses were returned with equal warmth. and the two women rocked in each others arms, to the envy. if delight. of certain of the on lockers viewing the circumstance from different standpoints. Judy took her niece to the now-vacated sofa, and an animated whispering began between them. Joys attention was. however, distracted: her senses had different ob- jectives. Her touch was to Judy sit ting beside her and holding her close in a loving embrace: her ears were to her father who was talking to the Sheriff. But her eyes were all with her husband. devouring him. There came a tinfd knock at the door, and in an- Swer to the Sheriff'S Come in." it was partly orened. The voice of the land lady was heard: May I speak with ye g moment, Sheriff?" He went over to the door. and a whispered colloquy en- sued. all his guests turning their eyes away and endeavouring in that way, as usual. to seem not to be listening. Then the Sheriff. having closed the door. said:
 Our good hostess tells me that there will be a full half hour of waiting be- fore we can breakfast. if she is to have proper time to do justice to the food which she wishes to place before us. So I must ask pardon of you all.''
 Capital Capitalp' said Colonel Ogil- vie. that half hour is just what we want. Mir Sheriff. we have a little ceremony to go through before we breakfast. The fact is we are going to have an Irregular Marriage. If you are able to take part in such a thing I hope you will assist us.'' Joy rose up and stood beside Athlyne. The Sheriff answered.:
 Be quite easy on that point, sir. I am not in my own shrieval district my duties at home, I am free to act as an individual elsewhere. But who are the contracting parties? You are married already; so too are your daughter and my Lord Athlyne. In deed it looks Miss Hayes, as if you left But I fear such great happiness is not for me; though I would give anything in the wide world to win iti' He bowed to her gallantly and took her hand. She looked quite embar- rassed-though not distressed, and gig gled like a schoolgirl.

 "Where? when?"

 But where's the clergyman; where is the license?"
 There is neither. This is a Scottish marriage! Later on we can have @ regular church marriage with bishop if you wish or an archbishop; in a church or a room or a Cathedral-just as you prefer." Mrs. Ogilvie percept1- bly, stiffened as he spoke. Then Sne said. with what she thought was dig nified gravity. which seemed to others like frigid acidity:
 Do I understand. Colonel Ogilvfe, that you are a consentlng party to di- other irregular "-she quivered as she said the word-'marriage? And that my daughter is to be made laughing stock amongst all our acQuaintances by three different marriages" ?"
 That is so. my dear. It is for Joys good!"
 Her good? Fidd1esticks! But in that case I have nothing more to say?' Some Of her wrath seemed to be turn ed on both Athlyne and Joy: for she did not say a single word to either Of them. She simply relapSed into stony silence.
 Mrs. OBrien's reception of the news afforded what might be termed the "comic relief' of the strained situa- ton. She raised her hands, as though in protest for allowing such a thing, and emitted a loud wall such as ''keener" raises at an Irish wake. Then she burst into voluble speech:
 "Oh wirrasthrue me darlin' bhoy, IL is a haythen Turk y are beconin', to take another wife whin we've got one already only a day ould. An such a wan more betoken-the beautifullest 1 hat seen!

Joy felt that the only thing to do was to postpone the difficulty to a more convenient season, when there should not be so many eyes some of them strange ones-on her To do this as kindly and as brightly as she could. she said:
