Chicago, Feb. 3.-The city is

center of the city.
Estimates varying from 100000 to
$4,000 are given as the amount TAX

The train was composed only Of eX-
press ears and its daily trip to and
from the stock yards was mainly to
carry the days receipts.

Tariff Makers Take Up the
Free List Section.
Measure 10 pe Pushed by Democrats
at the Extra Session Of Congress
VIII Be the Same as That Vetoed
by President Taft in 1911.

Washington, Feb. THE free list
OF the tariff furnished the concluding
chapter OF hearings before the house
committee on ways and means. The
free list and the administrative fea-
lures of the Payne-Aldrich law were
under fire.
In 1911 congress passed and Presi-
dent Taft vetoed the free list bill
framed by Chairman U~nderwood's
committee. That measure proposed to
put on the free list agricultural i'm
plements, cotton bagging. cotton ties,
leather, boots and shoes, fence wire,
meats, cereals, breads, flour. timber,
lumber, sewing machines, salt and 9TH
er articles. President Taft's veto was
on the ground that the bill would d.
minish the by from 10000
600 TO $4,000 900.
Democratic leaders now figure on
putting on the free list at the coming
extra session substantially the same
articles that were on the original free
list two years ago.

NATI0NALISTS WIN ELECTION
Ulster Shown to BE About Equally

count showed the Nationalist carried
the Londonderry election by 81 votes.
ID. G. Hogg, Nationalist, polled 2,69y
votes against 2,642 for Colonel Pack

This gives the Nationalist seven
teen votes in Ulster against sixteen
held by the Unionists, and proves
Ulster is not overwhelmingly against
home rule.
Extraordinary efforts were made by
both parties to bring every elector

CHAPTER XIII.


d ~ (SHtEatlJA
Happy In his newfy-found domestic
delights. Mr.. Rawn was perhaps more
careless than otherwise he would have
been regarding business affairs, and
that at a time when they needed care.
The truth vas that matters still
Jagged at the factory, as Rawn ought
TO have known. Indeed, he did know;
but always his curious ~helplessness In
regard to Halsey-who alone knew the
last secrets of the most intricate de-
vices OF the company's property-con-
tinued to Cypress him. And always
here was his wife to console him and
to interest him.
The distance between Graystone
Hall and the factory apparently was
becoming greater from month to
month. Sometimes Halsey came to
visit his wife, but these visits of late
became fewer and fewer. as that lady
became more and more disconnected
less and less eager to receive the at
fentions of him who had SO s~ignally
failed to place her where Virginia sat
In power. This alone left Halsey none
too happy himself at the prospect oil
any OF his perfunctory calls; and
moreover, he found himself expected
now to be more careful In his attire
In his conduct about Graystone Hall
where full evening dress tacitly was
desired at dinner, and where an arts,
tocratic chill was habitual at any
hour; things not customary In Ann
S~ulliyan's household ON the factory
side of the city. Not that Halsey
needed TO excite social misgivings. He
was a clean-faced, manly chap, lean,
sinewy and strong, and might, save for
his rather toil-marked hands, have
passed for any Of the throng of young
men who at times came under one pre-
tense or other 70 visit Mr.-and Mrs.
Rawn.
These. In company with Grace, he
n evening found alone, seated on
the wide gallery that overlooked the
lake front. He did notice then, as he
never before at any time had noticed,
a singular truth-virginia Rawn'a
eyes seemed almost reluctant to leave
him. He was half her husbands age.
Moreover, there was something in the
somber glow Of his eye, in the occa,
sional look OF his ~face-rapt, alb.
sorbed, remote, p~ondertng on things
not made patent to all about him
which held for her ever a stronger
9scination. She wondered IL things
we're known in his philosophy no longer
reckoned In her own: but which once
night have been germane to her as
veil. She often looked at him.
The evening was clear and cool, the
lake stirred with no more than q
gentle breeze. The silver ladder oil the
moons light was flung down across
the gently moving waters. The breath
Of flowers was all about. Calm, ease,
a~gsuredn6ss were here. The voice OF
the hostess was delightfully."- low and
sweet. ALI things seemed In keeping.

mis- customary largeness of air. Come
