the one copy which he had reserved
for himself, he headed for home, hit

raced along the almost deserted

he had In a few hasty words given
his sister an inkling of what vas
about to happen. He knew that she
would be awaiting the result of his
interview with an anxiety not to be

Her feelings were a singular com.
pound of varying emotions. For one
thing, there was relief that II was no

and resource with which in perfect
honor and dignity he had extricated
himself from the dilemma in which
the opposition had sought to plunge
him. the magnificent audacity with
which he had faced the crisis and
dominated the interview; lastly, there
was a keen, terrible pang of jealousy
and bitterness toward that other wom-

 The big machine, when completed, will be a six passenger carrying af- fair with two complete and indepen- dent power plants.
 Congressman James McDermott of Chicago, who is backing MT. Murphy in his aeroplane experiments, will be in this city for an extended stay shortly, as soon as the-two specially built motors for the big aeroplane arrive.
