She seemed to have forgotten him

In his few words something per.

dropped Ruggles' arm. She stood for
a moment with her arms folded across
her breast. her head bent down, and
the man at the door waited. feeling
that Dams whole life was in the bal

again her voice was hard and entirely
devoid OF the lovely appealing quality

He wanted to tell her that the girl
woman his mother was. but Ruggles
couldn't bring himself to say the
words. Now. as he sat near her. he
was growing 50 complex that his
brain was turning round. He heard
her murmur:
II told you I knew your act. Mr..
Ruggles. It isn't any use."
This brought him back to his posi-.

with mirth, and she couldn't help 1t.
Between laughing breaths she said to

But l don't expect you to marry me
for anything but my money"
Ruggles put his cigar down on the
edge Of the table. He looked at his
chair meditatively, he took out his
silk handkerchief, polished up his
glasses, readjusted them. put them on
and then looked at her.
Now" he said, II am going to trust
YOU with something. and l know you
will keep my secret for me. This
shows you little bit of what l think
about you. Dan Blair hasn't got red

The actress had never come up to
such a dramatic point in any of her
nlays. With her hands folded in her
Ian she looked at him steadily. and
he could not understand the express
sion that crossed her face. He heard
her exclamation: "Oh. gracious!"
"I've brought the papers back with
me-" said the westerner. "and 1t is
between you and me how we act. If
Dan marries you I will be bound to
Edo what old Blair would have done
cut him off-let him feel his feet on
the ground, and the result of his own
folly"
He had taken his glasses off while
ne made this assertion. Now he put
them on again.

CAUCUS ATTACKS
APPROPRIATIONS
DEMOCRATS WON'T REPORT
TWO BILLS CALLING FOR TO-
tai OF $34,000,000

WASHINGTON Jan. 31.-By a
vote of SO to IS, the house democrat.
1, caucus tonight instructed the rub
lie buildings committee not to report
the $16,O0O,O0O appropriation it had
under consideration and also instruct
cd the committee on naval affairs not
to report the bill providing an appro
priation for the two new battleships
whose aggregate cost would be about
$1S,OOO.OOO.
Unless tine senate restores these
appropriations and forces the house
to concur the country will be without
two new battleships as the result OF
a row over pork barrel appropria-
lion for public buildings.
rounccd by Representatives Rainey,
OF Illinois; Peters, of Massachusetts,,
and Martin, of Colorado, all of whom
declared that il was blow at the ma.
tional defenses which is entirely un-
warranted.
n large number of democrats an.
nounoe that they will vote for the
battleships, despite the action of the
caucus, but Representative Buricson,
who presided. asserts that the action
of the caucus is binding and that this
canno: be done without party disloy.
Atty. The session of the caucus,
which was executive and which last.
ed until midnight, was one row from
beginning to end.
1t Is believed by some friends OF
the navy that. even if the house has
cut the batt.eships and public build
ings, that they will be restored bv the
senate. But others hold that this
will not be done, and that as far as
The present congress is concerned,
the hope of increasing the navy to
something like adequate size is at an
end.
