lief and happiness to many sufferers
whose souls had capitulated to evil
forces: had heard him speak OF
women constantly in terms of the
utmost reverence He had indeed
dimly limited at some unforgotten love
episode in his own life, but he had
never conf1ded in me, and of course
forbore to question him. Il was the
merest accident-if, indeed, anything
be fortuitous-that revealed to me the
story.
We were sitting upon the veranda
of a summer hotel, little place in
the mountains to which we frequently
iourneyed to spend the weekend, one
summer evening. With us was a
stranger, man of rare personality
whom we had met the day Before;
and, as is often the case, we had dis
cussed with him matters Of belief and
conduct on which one is silent toward
acquaintances OF long standing. And
then came up the ever interesting
question Of faith.
There is one thing could give me
back my faith,' said the stranger
slowly. Il was married for 20 years
to a woman of the highest character;
we were supremely happy together.

Washington, March "A review of
the last session of the Sixty-first COZ
gress, which terminates at noon Sat.
urday, shows that the house has en-
acted an unusually large number of
bills of public importance. The sen
ate, however, presents record Of
much talk and little action.
In thirty-five legislative days the
house has not only disposed of the
fifteen appropriation bills. aggregating
about $3.50, ,o00, 900, but also the follow
ing bills:
Canadian reciprocity.
Permanent tariff board.
Apportionment of representatives

stead of 39l, as at present).

ciary laws.

The Lowden bill, for purchase by
the government of buildings abroad

priating about s45 900, 900 annually.
The first two OF these were a part
of the legislative programme urged by
