To Extend Princeton Place.

The committee authorized a favorable
report on the bill, H. r. 1885, which has
passed the House, for the extension OF
Princeton place northwest from Georgia
avenue to Rock Creek Church road, with
a width Of sixty feet.
The committee authorized a favorable
report on a substitute to bill which has
passed the House providing for a tax of
4 per cent on the gross earnings Of tele-
graph companies on business transacted
in the District.
The bill, as it passed the House, had
a similar purpose. But other changes
than the addition Of the taxation OF tele-
graph companies were proposed to the
present law taxing national banks, in
corporated banks, trust companies, gas,
electric lighting and telephone companies.
The old law based the taxation of these
companies on their gross earnings.
The House bill proposed to change this
basis to be gross receipts.
Substitute for House Bill.
1t was contended that this would in
crease the tax on the banks and the pub
lie service corporations. although 1t was
intended by the bill only to tax tele-
graph companies in addition to the others.
The Senate District committee therefore.
decided TO report substitute for the
House bill which will simply provide for
the taxing of telegraph companies with
out re-enacting the old law taxing banks
and public service corporations.
Several bills were referred to subcom-
mittees for special investigation, as fol-
lows:
s. I'LL, to amend the District code of
law, with the object of providing new
regulations for the disinterment of bodies
buried in the District; to the subcommit-
tee on public health.
S. 7247, to amend the act providing for
the registration of births SO that the re-
ports of births will be made within
twenty-four hours after they occur; to
the subcommittee on public health.
Authorizes New Highway Plan.
H r. 1888, to authorize a new high
way plan for the section bounded by
Broad Branch road. Rock Creek Park.

CHAPTER XXI.
In Which Love Speaks.


No one uttered a sound after that
first wild cry. We sat there stunned
into silence by the horror of the sit
uation. every eye staring blindly in
to the mist, the long-boat tossing like
a chip on the swell caused by the en-
quilting of the yacht. The crippled Sea
Queen had evidently gone down like
shot Twice l endeavored to speak
but something choked me, and my
voice failed. / reached down into my
pocket, held close to my eyes the
small compass l always carried, and
swung the boats head northward.
Even this slight effort at action gave
me back some measure of self-con-
troll.
You had better step the mast, Mr..
De Nova, and get out what canvas you
can spread There is not much wind,
but we'll make the best of what little

She rested her hand upon my knee.
"You need not fear for me- she said
firmly. 81 will not fail you"
The mainsail bellied out, catching
whatever breeze there was. the boom
swinging free and the long-boat lean
ing well over, as it leaped forward in
20 the fog. The swift motion brought
new heart to all of us.
A"Pass back the provisions, lads, and
AH stov them away here in the

This task required only few mo-

was able to discern the mate, seated
next to Celeste.

Of our supply Of provisions, and served
out small ration all around, after
ward arranging the several watches
for the night and distributing, as equal
ly as possible, the blankets and extra
clothing. The wind felt colder, the
sea coming up a bit, and Dade and
Kelly fixed up a piece of spare can
vas at the stern to protect the steers
man from the dash of icy spray. De
Nova took the tiller, and seeing no
signs of bad night l lay down amid

There was no great change in con-
ditions as l stumbled sleepily aft to
take the tiller. The boat was sailing
| free, but with reef in the mainsail,
owing to a marked stiffening of the
wind. The intense loneliness Of the
scene cast an even stronger spell over
me now,-those awful wastes of soil

| steely glitter of stars; the nearby
white crested waves; the little, insig-
nificant dot Of boat in which we
tossed. l thought upon those leagues
upon leagues of barrenness stretching
away to the north, east, west, south,
the vast fields of ice, the extent of
storm-lashed seas, the seeming hope
lessness of our efforts at escape, and
choked in my throat, my lips pressed
tight, my eyes staring blindly out in
to the smother.

The breeze perceptibly freshened,
but not sufficiently to require any reef

ing away like great white cloud,
leaving revealed the vista of cold gray
sea stretching about us. Lord, but it
did look barren and desolate, that
ceaselessly heaving expanse of water,
amid which we were but the merest
speck, scarcely more important than
those floating cakes of ice, tossed by
the waves through which we sought
passage.
