In the course OF somewhat extended
trip to travel as far east as Kansas

duty he brought along an Irishman
who had expressed a desire TO 60

When they struck the desert the
Irishman looked for spell at the dry

Bright Outlook for Kelly.

They were speaking of paradoxical
expressions at a recent banquet when
an amused expression floated over the
features of Governor Gorge w. Clark
of Iowa, who was on visit to the
East. He explained that he was re-
minded of an incident along that line.
Recently there was sad railroad
wreck in Western State, and after
the injured had been care for, man
fastened up to one of the doctors.
Doctor" asked the man in an
envious voice, sis Kelly very badly
hurt?"
HE is, indeed admitted the doc

der of the doctor. u will have him on

SAILORS FIND A SHIP

N Declared to be the Inflated MARI
borough Of Glasgow.

The Marlborough. a Glasgow

sailed from Lyttleton. New ZEALAND,
with several passengers and crew
OF thirty.three under the command Of
Captain Hird in January. 1890. 1t was
homeward bound by the Cape Horn
route and was spoken in midocean in
the Southern Pacific after which no
other word OF It was ever heard.
In April OF that year 1t was posted
as missing, and later on was siven up
as having been lost around the Horn,
where the bones of many good ship
and many hundred seamen lie. A gov
eminent cruiser searched the rocky
and tortuous coasts of Patagonia, but
no trace of 1t was found. The MARI
borough became just another of the
thousand mysteries of the sea. says a
New Zealand dispatch to the New
York Sun.
A day or two ago another British
sailing ship arrived in Lyttleton with
the story that it had found the MARI
borough and the skeletons OF twenty
of its crew in one of the rocky coves
near Punta Arenas SANDY Point in
the Magellan Strait.
The captain is quoted as telling the
story in the following words:
I'VE were off the rock coves near
Punta Arenas keeping near the land
for shelter. The coves are deep and
silent, the sailing difficult and dan
gerous.
I'VE rounded point into a deep
cleft cove. Before us a mile or more

Tom said in a voice none too steady:

But pro fessionally- Why, for instance. there's my brother-in-law, Mark Rob- ertson. He and Grace have been mar ried over three years now. and his love for her is still a sort of adoration.

 And I'm not blaming you. But I've been brought up to hate Jim Blake and his crowd and to pray for chance to get back at them. I know that isn't a meek and womanly way to talk. But it's the way I feel. I-I loved my ia ther so! My square, honest, white la ther. And they killed him. An, there's something coming to that crowd! To Blake and all of them! And its com ing from me Some day may be able to deliver the goodsi I-I oughnt to talk so to you" she caught herself up, half apologetically. I'm afraid l hurt you. Perhaps you didn't fully know"

 "The machine has tried to run over the wrong man at last And it's joints and wheels are rattling with fear. Standish became an insurgent. But he had the cleverness and the strength not to be crushed. And he has rallied weaker stupider insurgents around him. till he has formed an obstacle me machine can't override. He's done more.

In any case, no one-cru--- da Kelly. There, in an alcove under lthe great garish stairway, she sat day after day manipulating her racks of switches. To her left were the tele phone booths; to her right ghe corri dor where all the political world pass ed her in review. Behind her-and. when voices chanced to be raised in ieagerness or dispute, in easy ear-shot was a spot where far more history twas made than in the Capitol itself. This historic place was deep niche known to local fame as "the amen corner" It was of the beaten track lof the corridor, yet a vantage-point whence everything was visible Here Jim Blake-long. lean, saturnine mas ter of the machine-had a way of sit. ting. his eternal cigar in one corner Iof his mouth, his sloueh hat aslant on his head or under his chair And here, like filings to the magnet, the men who lgleaned in Jim's wake, and whose po- litical life hung on his curt nod, would cluster.
 One evening as the dinner crowd was drifting along the corridor toward the huge dining-rooms, Wanda noted that the amen corner held but two men. Both of them she knew, and both were very evidently awaiting Jim Blake's return from the Capitol More than one passer-by along the corridor nudged his companions and pointed out the elder of the corners two occu- pants.
 The object of these surreptitious glanceS was fine-looking rather portly man of early middle age-the Honorable Mark Robertson former governor of New York, present repre- sentative in congress from the same state and-equally important-Jim Blake's son-in-law. More-he was the man whom the machine. at it's masters orders, had slated as next speaker of the house. Yes, and perhaps if all one heard were true, for far higher office later on.
 Wanda Kelly knew this. And, thanks to overheard scraps of amen-corner talk, she knew much more. She had often seen Robertson. Now and then she had received a careless nod from him or from his stately young wife, Blake's only daughter, who so often while congress was in session ran down from the Robertson house in New York for a sojourn of day or two with her husband and father at the capital
 Yet Wanda wasted fewer thoughts just now on the celebrity than on the much younger man with whom he was talking. And perhaps her thoughts had telepathic power. For, as Robert son strolled out into the foyer, hts companion crossed directly to the switchboard rail and stood looking down at the girl,
 Wanda did not see him. Or, if she did, it was not with her eyes. And before he could speak, the telephone buzzer rasped out.
 Wanda said the young man who was leaning over the rail.
 It was the third time he had broken in. But. busy rattling the switch pegs, she did not hear.
 Wanda Kenyl" he exclaimed, ex- asperated.
 She looked up with a suddenness that startled him.
 "Well?" she asked sharply.
 'Will-will you marry me? ne blurted, her unexpected word and look driving the speech from his lips as though he had been struck between the shoulders.
 "What?" she queried in polite sur prise

 "Oh, I promise, if you like. But can't bear to have you go on hating dad. He's the kindest, dearest old chap alive. Maybe he didn't know"
 Does the organization do anything Jim Blake doesn't know and dictate?"
 Mister Thomas Blake!" paged liveried boy, at the far end of the cor ridor Mister Thomas Blake!"
 Tom caught sight of telegram on the tray the lad carried. But before he could signal the boy himself, the latter had gone out of sight.
 He's carried it to the bar with all the unerring instinct of a homing dovei" grumbled Tom. And he'll bawl Mister Thomas Blakei' in that disreputable place for solid hour if I don't go and choke him off"
 Wanda watched her suitor hurry away in search of his quarry, and her dark eyes took on a tenderer light than ever he had seen in them. Then. at sound of a chance word behind her, she became all at once her alert busi- nesslike self again. She glanced into a little mirror that swung obllquely from the top of the switchboard. In this bit of glass, without turning. she could command full view of the amen corner a few feet to the rear of the switchboard rail
 Three men had seated themselves there. One she recognized as the Hon. Tim Neligan; and second as the Hon. Silas Gregg, a leggy and tow headed representative from Kansas-
