in the past year many midship-

The war and navy department are

There has been a large number Of

age; but surely fate had something
better in store for such a superb wom-
an. A girl Of such attainments and
such infinite possibilities, she must
mate higher than with the average
man. Perhaps there was a subcon-
sciousness of this in her mind as she
silently waited to be oVertaken by the
rest Of the party.
There were curious glances and
strange speculations in that little
company as they saw her sitting her
horse alone. A few moments before
James Armstrong had passed them at
gallop, he had waved his hand as
he dashed by and had smiled at them,
hope giving him a certain assurance.

he was ideal. Alas for the vanity OF

strong friend and protege these many
years Of Mr.. Robert Maitland, mine
owner and cattle man on a much
smaller scale than his older friend,
was desperately in love with Enid
Maitland, and Enid, swept OF her feet
by a wooing which. began with pre-
cipitant ardor so soon as he laid eyes
on her, was more profoundly moved
by his suit, or pursuit, than she could
have imagined.
Omne ignotum pre- magnifco!
She had been wooed in the conyen-
tional fashion many times and oft on
the sands Of Palm Beach, along the
cliffs Of Newport, in the romantic glens
Of Mount Desert, in the old-fashioned
drawing-room overlooking Rittenhouse
Square. She had been proposed to in
motor cars, on the decks Of yachts
and once even while riding to hounds,
but there had been a touch OF same
ness about It all. Never had she been
made love TO with the headlong gal
lantry, with the dashing precipitation
Of the west. 1t had swept her from
her moorings She found almost be-
fore she was aware Of 1t that her past
experience now stood her in little
stead. She awoke to sudden realiza-

with Ends someWhst grave ONa some;
what troubled present aspect. She
threw OF her preoccupation instantly
and easily, however, and Joined read
fly enough in the merry conversation
of the way.
Mr.. Robert Maitland, as Armstrong
has said, had known him from a boy.
There were things in his career OF
which Maitland did not and could not
approve, but they were Of the past, he
reflected, and Armstrong was after
all a pretty good sort. Mr.. MaitIand's
standards were not at all those of his
Philadelphia brother, but they were
very high. His experiences OF men
had been different; he thought that
Armstrong, having certainly by this
time reached years Of discretion, could
be safely entrusted with the precious
treasure Of the young girl who had
been committed to his care, and for
whom his affection grew as his knowI-
edge Of and acquaintanceship with her
increased.
AS for Mrs. Maitland and the two
girls and the youngster, they were
Armstrong; devoted friends. They
knew nothing about his past, indeed
there were things in It Of which Matt
land himself was ignorant, and which
had they been known to him might
have caused him to withhold even hig
tentative acQuiescence in the possibih-
ties.
Most Of these things were known
to old Klrkby, who with mastery
skill, amusing nonchaIance and amaz!
ing profanity, albeit most Of It under
his breath lest he shock the ladies',
fooled along the four nervous, excited
bronchOs that drew the big supply
wagon. Kirkby was Maitland's Oldest
and most valued friend. He had been
the latter'S deputy sheriff, he had
been q cowboy and q lumberman,
mighty hunter and successful miner
and now, although he had acquired a
reasonable competence, and had a nice:
little wife and pleasant home in the
mountain village at the entrance to
the canon, he drove stage for pleas
ure rather than for profit. He had.
given over his daily twenty-five mile
jaunt from Morrison to TroutdaIe to
other hands for short space that he
might spend q little time with his old
friend and the family who were alt
greatly attached to him on this outing,
Enid Maitland, girl Of kind that
Kirkby had never seen before, had
won the old mans heart during the
weeks spent on the Maitland ranch.
He had grown fond Of her, and he did
not think that Mr.. James Armstrong
merited that which he evidently SO
overwhelmingly desired. Kirkby was
well along in years, but he was quite
capable of playing a mans game for
all that, and he intended to play 1t in
this instance.
Nobody scanned Enid Maitland's
face more closely than he, sitting
bumped up on the front seat Of the
wagon, oneOfoot on the high break, his
head sunk almost to the level Of his
knee, his long whip In his hand. his
keen and somewhat fierce brown eyes
taking in every detail Of what was go
ing on about him. Indeed there was
but little that came before him that
old Kirkby did not see.

STANLEY WOULD
AMEND TRUST LAW
To Precipitate Debate on
Steel Investigation
SENSE OF THE BILL
Gardner Says the Stanley Bill Is
Revolutionary in Some Respects
and Commendable in
Others

washington, August Representative
Stanley of Kentucky today introduced in
the House q special rule to preeipitate de-
nate on the results of his committees In
, vestieation of the United States Steel cor
poration. Mr.. Stanley failed few days
ago to get an order from the House fix
ing next Thursday as a day to thresh
out differences between the democratic
and republican members of his commit
tee.
His plan under the rule is to devote six
hours on Thursday TO the Senate, half
the time 10 be concluded by himself and
half by Representative Gardner, repub-
lican.
Two bills designed to amend the Sher-
man act were presented by Mr.. Stanley
today. One prohibits ownership by one
corporation or stock in another; and the
other is the Brandes bill whicn gives in
iured parties the right to sue on the same
status as the government to dissolve com
binations which are in them.
Representative Gardner Of Massa-
ohusetts was jubllant today over the latest
bill on the trust question, which Mr..
Stanley las proposed. This dill Is not
that of the majority Of his committee, but
his own views. IT seeks TO prevent iron
and steel corporations from doing busl-
ness with over-capitalized stock. 1t APP
breaches the republican view of The neces-
snv of government supervision.
Mr. Gardner In commenting on this
bill, said today:
"The issue is already squarely Joined
between those who believe the trusts
should be regulated by the conflicting
that business has obliterated state
lines and that the trusts should be
state lines and that the trusts should be
concluded by the national government
as the results are concluded.
"rhe issue must soon be met whathor
we mean thoroughly to dissolve the trusts
or whether we mean to recognize them,
and make them behave themselves.
Mr. Stanley's new bill Is a direct re-
suit Of our minority report ON the steel
investigation.
MIR. Stanley has adopted aome of our
ideas. To that extent his new bill is
commendable In other respects 1t is revo-
lutionary. II his bill Is sound for the
steel inquiry it is sound for all inquiries.
If 1t vera to be applied to all inquiries,
there Is no fear that 1t would prove in
effective. 1t would smash b siness.
