Associated Press Special.

Associated Press Special.
Austin, Texas, August 2-The
legislative caldron began to boil to-
day The first spirited clash be-
tween the pros and ants in both the
house and the senate came when the
appropriation bill was called up for
consideration The scrap started
when a member of the house pro-
posed to raise the appropriation for
contingent expenses by $1,000 The
senate went further and proposed to
raise this appropriation by SIS, 600.
The antis in both houses charged
that this was for the purpose of
conducting a legislative investiga-
ton of the recent state election. The
senate adopted the increase but on
account of two-thirds vote being
lacking it must lay over until to-
morrow.
The senate passed the bill for mill
cage and per diem expenses.
The house voted to allow each
member three newspapers to be
paid for by the state.
The house passed resolution in
yiting the National Advertisin'
League, now in session at Boston. t
meet at Dallas next year. A resolu
ton supporting California; Panam,
exposition was also passed.

merce and manufactures this morn
ing reported favorably the joint
resolution for drastic regulation OF
the saloons. Senators Hume, hurry
and Kaufman submitted an adverse
minority report.

give them more than the tecting traction OF
an impersonal glance.
She showed Miss Millard motor-coats
with interest and efficiency, succeeded in
pleasing her, returned her parting smile

with no outward hint Of a heavier heart.

to come again soon-he had spent such a
pleasant evening and would Miss Shannon
care to 90 to the theater with him some
night next week. She would indeed. She
did not offer him the rose in her belt.
After he had gone she sat long time
very still, with her chin in her hand
And that summer, like youthful dreams,
SO sweet, 50 aeeting sped deliciously away.
Mr. Burke was a frequent visitor, and when
he wasn't calling he was taking Christabel
somewhere But he did not take her to
places where they would be likely to meet
the citys smart set.
This did not appear to be designedly,
however, and Christabel did not allow her
self to wonder about it, Mr. Burke's inten-
tons would seem to be evident enough;
Christabel in her twenty-five years of life
had seen enough Of men not to be in the
least doubt about his symptoms. Not that
she tried to dissect him, only sometimes she
was little frightened at her own happiness.
To have everything come out in this
fairy-tale fashion was not in accord with
the world she knew Time was when, tired
and cynical, she had expected her liberating
millionaire to be old and unattractive. One
can't have everything, she reminded herself,
and she had made up her mind that she
would be able to marry old Eaton himself
for the leisure and pleasure his money would
buy. Now she doubted it. Think Of

and Aunt Ellen had not been made at once
aware Of Burke status and unconventional
approach, She had taken him at first for
lust another Of Christabels young men,
only nicer and more the gentleman, she
thought. When she saw how things were
going with them, however, she began little

information with rather different feelings
