A ray Of winter sunshine came steal

room, glancing for moment upon the
faces Of the two men, faces as far re-

shabbiest of blue serge suits. suit made

neck. mud-stained and shiny with wear.
His boots had holes in them. His low
collar and scrap of tie were negligible
things His face was of length out OF
the complexion pallid and bearing traces
of his daily privations. Only his eyes
were soft, of gray which deepened
sometimes almost into blue. At this mo-
ment however, they were overcast with
a heavy frown, which seemed to gather
in intensity as the seconds of silence
passed.
The man before whom he stood had pres
ence enough and had borne himself brave
ly on many great occasions. but at that
moment he seemed in some sense to have
collapsed. No sense of his stature re-

young man. He had health enough. and
courage. and good looks. but at this mo-
ment all three seemed to have deserted
him. The cords OF life had suddenly
slackened. He was face to face with hor-
rible things. and the nerve which should
have set him with feet firmly planted
upon the ground to face the crisis was
gone.
"Its has been a long Search" Drake
said.
Since it is at an end, then" the mar
quis answered, what would you have of

Drake laughed little bitterly. 1t was
not pleasant sound that laugh. 1t
seemed to come from somewhere at the
back of his throat, and 1t left his fea-
lures unmoved. Milford has lost his cour-

He remembered that he posed sometimes
as a student of human character. that he
was a member of the chronological So
ciety and sometimes attended its discus
sions. THESE were strange words to come
from such a person. Tell me- he said
why would YOU not take my gold? You
have only to speak. you know that"
Drake raised his eyes and he looked the
marquis straight in the face. until the
eyes of the latter dropped and fell, You
know" he answered.
The marquis laughed uneasily. He had
looked away, but the fire of that intent
gaze seemed still to be burning its way
into his consciousness. Well" he said

The marquis rose to his feet with an
uneasy little laugh. He thrust his hands
deep into the pockets of his quilted
smoking jacket, and he stood upright on
his hearthrug an attitude not by any
means ungraceful You are the strang-

FUN FOR THE MINORITY
UNIQUE SITUATION IN THE
HOUSE YESTERDAY.
Lively Time Over Effort of Mr.
Lloyd of Missousi to Escape
Committee Service.

Just before adjournment in the House
OF Representatives yesterday afternoon
there was a lively little rumpus as re
suit OF attempt by Representative
Lloyd of Missouri to resign a member
of the joint congressional committee to
investigate the neutrality-suspicious. contro-
versy. The condition that resulted was
curious. as the House for time found
itself in control of the minority, which
seemed to enjoy the unique experience.
1t having been given out that there
would be democratic caucus at 400,
most of the republican members went
home while practically every democrat
was in his place. Motions TO adjourn
were defeated by vociferous choruses from
the democratic side.
Mr. I.loyd's resignation was read
whereupon Representative Tawney made
the point of order that no one was au-
thorized to receive it, and would not be
so authorized until the joint committee
should be organized Even then, he ex-
planned. the committee would have au-
thority to receive resignation of one
of its members only by inference.
No Avenue of Escape.
Mr.. Tawney undertook to demonstrate
that Mr.. Lloyd. having been elected to
membership on the committee, had no
avenue of escape from service.
This view was combated by Mr.. Under
wood of Alabama who said the House
could accept the resignation of member
of any body it should create.
Mr.. Lloyd attempted to obtain the floor
for an expla nation, but was barred out
by the parliamentary situation. Mr..
Tawney, seeing the impossibility of an
adjournment. attempted to resume con-
sideration of the deficiency bill as a
means to force an adjournment. Again
the democrats. in overwhelming num-
bers, voted down his motion.
Call of the House.
Renewing his motion to adjourn. Mr..
Tawney demanded roll call as an an
swer to the chorus of negative votes on
the ground that there was no quorum
present. While the roll call was in
progress and the republican members
were being called from their homes and
hotels, several miles away, Mr.. Under
wood arose to make an explanation
After some delay the Alabama mem
Der succeeded in saying there had been
a general misunderstanding He ex-
planned that he had had no knowledge of
Mr. Lloyds intention to offer his resigna-
ton at that time The minority, he ad-
ded had not purposely taken advantage of
the absence of republican members He
said it was manifestly fair that he should
move to adjourn. and. doing SO. received
unanimous support, and the House at
sos o'clock adjourned, just thirty-five
minutes after the time agreed upon for
the democratic caucus. The democratic
caucus was then assembled.

lenhorst tried in vain to think of some
thing more acceptable than collar
Since this was not possible. he resolved to
make this article of attire unique as
possible.
Assembling some 100 diamonds OF
graded size. he proceeded to fashion a
wonderful piece of jewelry. 1t is SO con-
structed that it hangs down on the
breast of the dog and has as pendant from
the center a stone worth $500. The stones
in the collar vary in weight from one
sixth to full carat.
The part of the COLLAR that rests on
Dixie's neck narrows down to a single
line of diamonds. each set with great
care. so as to prevent the loss of any of
them. If made in the form of a neck
lace il would be one of the most adj
mired pieces Of jewelry in the city, and
the envy Of every society lassie. Al
though Dixie makes some show of pride
when arrayed in the circleu of splendor,
il is doubtful if he fully appreciates the
worth of his gift.

The dinner rendered to Dixie was
given at kelley's Hotel, on South Gay

dog was seated at the head OF the table,
