watching he had failed in the leather business and lost his property.
 When Mir Chalmers left the house he went to tobacconists five blocks away and bought some cigars. Then he returned and made for the pagoda and the pond.

 The cat wasn't there, but the angels were. They folded their wings and reached out their hands and pulled that old pagoda into the old pond. Some folks would have said that the water had undermined the bank and brought about a cave-in, but the angels knew. The water was cold. There was mud with 1t.

.LORIMER HIS

COMEDY OF LAUGHTER FEATUR. ES SECOND DAY OF ILLINOIS
 SENATOR'S STORY.
Denies That Hines Contributed to His Campaign Fund or Was An Emssary or H'1 in Famous
 Illinois Election.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Senator LOT imer's second day as witness be- fore the senase investigators of his election was human comedy of aughter and politics The days in uiry delved into the dark windings of party government and touched the lighter phases that swept the audience with laughter.
 MT. Lorimers relations with Ed ward Hines, the lumberman, who has been said to be the man who made possible the formers election to the United States senate. were talked over at length and Senator Lorimer said he had never asked MT. Hines to work for him, and. in fact, did not think Hines knew enough about pol :iics to be trusted in suC h capa city.
 The now famous message which Hines Is said to have carried from Washington to Governor Deneen to the effect that President Taft, Sen ator Penrose and former Senator A drich were anxious to see Lormer elected was discussed again and LOT inner said the first he knew of such a message was when Hines delivered 1t.
 was deemed advisable to remove him be selected to carry out delicate political misslon?' asked senator Jones.
 Certainly not by me" returned MT Lorimer
 Did Mir. Hines ever contribute any thing to your campairn funds2'
 "Not that I know of
 MT. Lorimer said that, so far as hs knew, Hines activity in his behalf began after Hines had talked with Penrose and Aldrich in washington.
 Did you suppose the president fay- ored your" asked Senator Jones.
 q only knew that such an impress sion had been carried to Springfield I never received anything direct from the White House. The president had no interest in me personally and I only knew Penrose and Aldrich casu- ally,
 When Mir Hanecy, Lorimer's coun- sel. read extracts from Chicago news papers in which Senator Lorimer was referred to as having blonde curls and an innocent face. and as being a "high brow the senator joined in the general laughter
 MT. Hanecy read a newspaper head line:
 Senator Jones is purple robe, eats the fatted calf'
 It was referred to state Senator Jones of Illinois, but Senator Wesley l.. Jones of Washington, who is a member of the inyestgating commit tee, led the laughter which followed. Then Mir. Hanecy read another that brought double laugh
 Jones construes the primary two ways-backward and sideways.
 All the senators on the committee seemed to get particularly good smile out of that.
 Senator Lorimer's testimony today was shortened because Mir. Hanecy wanted to read into the record sever al political stories from the Chicago papers.
 The reading had not been finished when the committee took a recess un- til tomorrow morning at 10:S0 o'clock.
