GETTING a Reputation.

There is a desk in the senate par
ticularly convenient as a place from
which to make speeches. It Is next to
the aisle and almost in the center of
the chamber, and affords an opportu-
nifty for the speaker to make every
body hear.
At least a dozen senator's, accord
ing to the Washington correspondent
of the st. Louis Star. have borrowed
this desk when they had special utter
ances to deliver to the senate. This
led, not long ago.. to a mild protest
from its legitimate occupant.

She relaxed a little at our matter

sink into a chair.

heavily. "He-will be here in a few
moments if-everything is right"
We sat there, the three of us, with
out attempt at conversation. Both Ger
trude and ! recognized the futility of
asking Louise any questions; her
r%eticence was a part of a role she had
assumed. Our ears were strained for
the first throb of the motor as it
turned into the drive and commenced
the climb to the house. Ten minutes

1t seemed a long time before the
creaking vehicle came to a stop at the
door. Louise rose and stood watching,
her hand to her throat. And then
Gertrude opened the door, admitting
Mr.. Jameson and a stocky, middle
aged man. Halsey was not with them.
When the door had closed and Louise
realized that Halsey had not come,
her expression changed. From tense
watchfulness to relief, and now again
to absolute despair, her face vas an
open page.
"Halsey?" / asked unceremoniously,
ignoring the stranger. Did he-not

there were some other things he
would like to thank God for. and forth
