he turned solemnly toward til e

pressively and repeated: Listen to
this: There are men who would
readily take advantage of another's
misfortune, but Michael Rubens is
not in that class,of men. MOI! I am a
man OF my word, my generosity is
uninfuenced by technicalities or

and say nasty things about me, but

you will discover in this instance.

quired.
Yes, sir, l am fairly handy with

"Good!" said Rubens. iii give

a baby in the business, hey? Well,
of course. babies need attention, must
be cared for and that is a mothers

your favor. How would it be if Iper-

Rubens scrubbed something on a
sheet OF paper, rang a bell and a
forewoman appeared.
This young lady," he said, sweep
ing his hand in the direction of Mrs.
Spurgeon, is the widow of young
man to whom for certain reasons
am greatly indebted. She has come
to me at the request of her late hus-
band asking, in his name, fulfillment
Of a promise made by me some
years ago, and Michael Rubens is
not the man to forget a deed of
kindness done to himself. There
fore, l have entered the young lady's
name on the list of outside workers.
Now you shall take her and supply
her with the necessary materials and
such instructions and explanations
as are requisite to proper under
standing of our transaction.
Mrs. Spurgeon attempted to thank
him but tears choked her utterance
and she drooped her head. Rubens
looked over his shoulder at the fore
woman, winked his eye, jerked his
thumb in the direction of the door
and the forewoman took the widows
hand and led her away. Wait
here just moment" she said, as
they reached the passage leading to
the entrance, and I'll bring you your
work.
Presently she returned and handed
the widow parcel containing the
material for one dozen shirtwaists
for which, when completed, she was
to receive one penny and farthing
apiece.
Great was Rubens! His gratitude
and his generous treatment of the
widow of the man who had saved
his life was worth, approximately,
twenty-six and one-half cents per
week. Magnificent was Rubens!

Senator Denies That He ConSid-
cred Illinois Election Results
Free from Scandal

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Dec. 10
United States Senator James b, Frazier
today denied he signed the report of the
subcommittee of the committee of
privileges and elections of the senate,
which found the election of Senator
Lorimer of Illinois free from scandal.
Instead he said, he filed statement
in which he declared he believed seven
of the votes cast for Lorimer in the
legislature were tainted. 1t has been
generally reported that all members
of the subcommittee signed the report,
which gave Lorimer a clear record. In
speaking Of the final meeting of the
subcommittee. when the report was
signed, Senator Frazier said:
Il was not present at this meeting.
but left Washington Friday night and
understand the subcommittee made a
report to the full committee and that
all of the other members agreed to the
report.
PREPARED STATEMENT OF VIEWS
Before leaving Washington l pre-
pared a statement of my views and
conclusions based on the evidence and
law and gave it to my secretary with
instructions to hand it to the chair
man of the subcommittee, and I have
no doubt he did this. In this state
ment | disagreed with the report of the
other members of the subcommittee
wherein they cxonerate the election Of
Lorimer from the charge Of corrup-
ton.
Il said that in my opinion the evi-
dence established that four members
of the Illinois Legislature who voted for
Mr.. Lorimer were bribed to do so, they
having confessed, and further, that
they were bribed by three other mem
hers of the legislature who had voted
for Lorimer: and that my conclusions
as set out in the statement were that
there were seven votes east for Lori
mor which were corrupted or tainted

Miss Marston's MARQUIS
Evening Story for the F amnily Circle

Miss Lucille Marston sat in the
little, secluded alcove and dreamed.
Beyond. in the great, flaring recep.
ton hall, Miss Marston's own
cousin-Julia, the beautiful heiress
swung past on the arm of an Off
Ger. Heigh-ho! Miss Marston sigh
ed-sighed for all in this world
that she had not; sighed for all
that her thrice fair and wealthy
young cousin possessed. 1t was
hard to be the poor, plain cousin of
a rich and handsome favorite.
A light step sounded without. A
little. slender gentleman, Vandyke-
bearded, bristling-moustached, mon
ocled, peered into the alcove,
smiled beamingly and extended his
/ hand.
"Ah-eet ees Mees Marston? |
haff the honor great. | am dee

Miss Marston turned fourteen
varying tints of pink and rose.
She started up, sank back, extended
her hand. dropped it, smiled
frowned, and sought the floor with
| her eyes.
II am Miss Marston," she adj
mitted. "but-you-I have not the
pleasure"
The little gentleman bowed al
most to the shining hardwood floor
"Ah, re pleazair-eet ees mine-all

MarstOn. The fourteen rose tints
deepened.

| Miss Marston sat, crushed,
broken in spirit, shattered.
At last she reused from the un-
pleasant revery and sought out her
wraps. AS she passed a rose-filled
bower she heard the murmur of
voices. Some strangely familiar
note caused her to halt, to peer
through the thorns and blossoms.
A little man knelt upon the par
quetted floor at the feet of beau
tiful woman. The man was the

was speaking in passionate accents

hey dluule, uluule,
The cat and the fiddle,
The COW jumped over the moon
How do you suppose she ever
happened to jump over the moon
Well, it happened this way. The
man who owned the COW knew that
witch had planted some seeds in
his pasture from which had grown
queer round puff balls. These little
balls were in the ground so long as
they were not touched by the water
from the magic spring beside the
garden gate. Now her owner told
the COW she must not eat those puff
balls-that she could eat anything
else in the field, but she must never,
no, never, take even tiny bite
from the puff balls.
The COW obeyed her owner for a
long time, then one day she fell to
wondering just what those puff
balls would taste like. The more
she thought about it the more she
wanted to taste one. She took one
little bite. oh" she said to her
sell, 1t tastes So SOOu. WY OWHCi
just didn't want me to have them
He must have been saving them for
himself
So she ate and ate till she ate all
the puff balls she could find. Then
it grew dark and the moon came
out. The COW began to feel thirsty
SO she went to the magic spring for
a drink.
No sooner did she swallow some
of the water than those puff balls
became as light as feathers, and the
COW began to feel very queer. Then
she jumped over the barn, the
church steeple and all the houses
in the village, and finally jumped
clear up and right over the moon!
When she came down she bawled
ooh. stop me; I'm so tired jump,
ing" But her owner could do moth
ing, and the witch said to her
you were wicked and disobeyed
your master, so you must jump
over the moon all night long. Then
J if you promise to never disobey
again, you may once more live in
your pasture"
