BILB0 HAS NO IDEA OF RESlGhING
States that He viii See the Opposition
In Hell Before Gratifying Them
BY SO Doing.

Poplarville, NIss.-State Senator
Bilbo, who figured conspicuOusly in the
recent senatorial investigation at Jack
son, Miss, Thursday issued state
ment, which he declared would be
his last statement. In it he says the
fight at Jackson was between the peo'
pie and a clean government on one
side and mercenary politics on the
other" He said he stood with the
former class.
Senator Bilbo charged that the sen
atorial investigation was made with
the avowed purpose of withdrawing
the guilty parties, confusing the pub
lie as to the real facts, and eXpelling
and condemning me-
He gives two reasons for refusing
to resign:
First, because I was elected and
sworn to represent the people of the
Fourth District of Mississippi, and Sec
Ondly, because | would see those
twenty-six senators in hell before
would crafty their desires"
Senator Bilbo refers to the senators
who voted against him.

permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants.
The other day a son of the Emerald
Isle entered a drug store there, and,
taking a bottle from his pocket, asked
Tor a quart of whisky. The salesman
asked to what use 1t was to be put,
and the reply was:
"To soak roots in It."
The order was filled, and the clerk,
after handing over the bottle and its

What kind of roots are you going

Pocketing the bottle, the customer
said:

might be occurring at the houseboat

CHAPTER XXIII.-Continued.

Presently, as the dark gathered
about us the candles were lighted, and
their glow shut out the world. To
my relief the three women carried the
talk alone, leaving me to my own
thoughts of Helen and my plans for
restoring her TO her aunt with no
break in the new confidence that Rosa
lind had inspired. had so completely
yielded myself to this undercurrent OF
reflection that | was startled to find
Miss Pat with the coffee service before
her.
Larry. you are dreaming. How can
] remember whether you take sugar.
Sister Margaret's eyes were upon
me reproaChfulIy for my inattention,
and my heart-beats quickened as eight
strokes of the chapel chime stole lin
gsringly through the quiet air. | had
half-raised my cup when I was
startled by a question from Miss Pat
"a request innocent enough and
spoken, it seemed, utterly without in
tention.
Let me see your ring a moment,
Helen"
Sister Margaret flashed a glance
of inquiry at me, but Rosalind met the
situation instantly.
Certainly, Aunt Pat"-and she
slipped the ring from her finger,
passed 1t across the table, and folded
her hands quietly upon the white
cloth. She did not look at me, but l
saw her breath come and go quickly.
II the rings were not the same then
We were undone. This thought gripped
the three Of US, and | heard my cup
beating a tattoo On the edge OF my
saucer in the tense silence, while Miss
Pat bent close to the candle before her
and studied the ring, turning it over
slowly. Rosalind half opened her lips
to speak, but Sister Margaret's snowy
hand clasped the girls fingers. The
little circlet of gold with its beautiful
green stone had been to me one of the
convincing items Of the remarkable re-
semblance between the cousins; but
If there should be some differentiatlng
mark Miss Pat was not SO stupid as to
overlook it.
Miss Pat put down the ring abruptly
and looked at Rosalind and then
smiled quizzically at me.
You are clever boy Larry"
Then, turning to Rosalind, Miss Pat
remarked, with the most casual air
imaginable:
Helen pronounces either with the
long e. l noticed at luncheon that
you say eyether. Where's your father

My eyes were turning from her to
Rosalind when, on her last word, as

stone balustrade and ran to the boat
house where Gillespie waited.
