strength he can develop. He Will be back
on Wednesday afternoon, to report 60 the
adjourned caucus Of the Republican As

can show them that he has enough votes
upstate to win. with the votes Of New York

was reached that there was as yet no rea-
son to abandon hope that the Chinese peace
commissioners i'm Shanghai would be able
10 reach basis Of agreement
Although State Department officials would
not reveal the source Of their information.
they declared to-day that official reports

December 81. These troops. according to

TO be taking the initiative in an offer Of
mediation they actually would be acting in
behalf Of all OF the six powers interested
ana with their full approval I'm other
words nothing has yet developed 10 i'm
pair the binding force OF the understanding
into which these six powers entered several
weeks ago to act as unit in dealing with
the Chinese situation.
Although the lack OF money Is becoming
keenly manifest I'm Pckins, this understand
ing among the powers so far has enabled
them successfully to resist the most tempt
ing offers of high interest and eHtraordi-
ol,.o, &C
money by any ono power, even to defray le
ultimate outstanding indebtedness Of China
on account of foreign obligations, might cas-
ily be perverted by the Chinese press into
display OF favoritism toward the imperialist
government that would be deeply resented

Moreover. the very lack of funds on botn
sides. il is thought, may tend to hasten the
peace negotiations. and therefore IL seems
probable that the six powers will adhere 10
their determination to refuse further loans,
even though considerable suffering is In
Volvcd.

 "Aint got no call for jealous peo- ple," said Hilda tartly. Do you want some more coffee, too?"
 T want you most" said Dabney. Hilda frowned
 You can have more coffee if you want it," she said significantly.
 "I'll take some-if that's all I can have" he agreed, as he passed his cup. q was thinkin' how nice it would be to have you at the head of the table all the time. Ma wants to go east to live with Neik Nell wantS her bad, but ma won't leave me alone because she knows I can't cook"

 There's only one girl want and that's you" he answered. T wasn't wanting you just to cook"
 You had chance once" she re- minded, and you made row about Bill Sexton"
 This was point he could not argue and he subdued. The rest of the meal was eaten in silence, and few words were exchanged as Hilda cleaned away and washed the dishes. When she had done, she took up the light shawl she had thrown about her head.
 I'll be over to get breakfast" she promised. "I suppose your man minell be back by noon.'
 'I'll take you home" he cried as he caught up his hat For moment Hilda looked about her. The supper had been a pleasant one. She, too, had felt as Dabney did about the con- panionship. She raised her eyes to his

After
 Supper

Hawkins looked miserably across The fields to where the lights of the Gordon house shone brightly yellow against the gloom of the autumnal night.
 That brightest light was from the dmlngroom. His mouth watered as he recalled the suppers he had en- Joyed there before he and Hilda had quarreled.
 Then he looked at his own bare ta- Die and at the floor on which were the remains of the supper that had been spread for him and which had been upset and scattered by the dog before he came in from the fields There was note from his mother explaining that she had gone into town with a neighbor and would not be back until the following after noon.
 The table had been generously spread in anticipation of her absence, but the dog had so upset things that there was nothing eatable and the well-flled pantry of the kitchen of tered no relief Dabney Hawkins was one of the few western farmers who could not cook
 For time he watched the yellow lights across the fields and then he put on his hat with sudden determin- ation and went out, carefully closing the door behind him. His hunger had conquered his pride. He would go and confess his plight to Hiida and ask her pardon.
 In his heart he was glad of an ex- cuse. For six weeks he had been trying to bring his courage to the point of an apology. They were not engaged, and 1t was scarcely his right to complain if Bill Sexton came out from town to visit. He did not blame Hilda-now-fo being angry when he made a fuss.
 There was we'll worn patch be- tween the great fields and as he strode along he mentally rehearsed a number of graceful speeches of apol- ogy. But the words were forgotten when out of the gloom there appeared a figure in white and in the faint light he could make out Hilda's face.
 Hilda was the first to speak. Good evening"" she said confusedly. Were you comin' to us? 1 was just comin' to your ma"
 Ma ain't to home" he explained. 'I was coming to see your ma My ma went to town and the dog eat my supper and I cant cook none. I thought perhaps. your mad give me some.'
 My ma ain't home either ex- plained Hilda, and there ain't any supper. I was comin' to ask some."
 You haven't any supper?" he gasped,
 "The water tank fell onto the pan try and kitchen" she explained. We ain't even got stove"
 'I got a stove but can't cook. Sup pose you ome and cook" he suggest ed
 Dabney led the way into the kitch- en, and Hilda quickly set about get ting supper. Under her directions. Dabney strengthened the table, get ting out fresh table cloth and set ting forth the plates and furnishings. Meanwhile she was busy at the stove and presently the fragrant odor of coffee filled the room. Soon this was augmented by other odors as appetizing, and when the biscuit were done and taken from the pan, Hilda slipped into place at the head of the table and they ate as only two young people with hearty appetites
