to make this room real work-room
and conferenee-room. Instead of
staying at the White House, and
sending for members he wants to see,
the report is that he intends to go to
the Capitol frequently, to keep in
close touch with measures in which
he is interested and if needed, to call
party conferences concerning legisla-
ton, in which he will himself take a
part.
This story has greatly excited con-
gressruen who are strong for prece-
dent and tradition. In their minds,
the idea of the President seeking by
personal efforts at the Capitol to in
fluence legislation, is little. short Of
revolutionary, and while for obvious
reason there are no members who
want to be quoted on the subject
some of them are talking very freely,
in confidential way, as to what may
happen if the President-elect tries to
carry out this program.
Curiously enough, the well-known
facts as to how Governor Wilson has
controlled the New Jersey Legislature
and forced party measures and adj
ministration bills to passage against
opposition leads to a general accept
anee of the probability that he may
attempt to do the same thing here.
There are many who approve of the
course it is reported the new Presi-
dent will take in shaping legislation,
but the old-timers inveigh strongly
against it, and are limiting that if he
,r;os 4o oaryv out such a Dropram Mr..
Wilson is likely to find that there is
vast difference between the New Jer-
sey Legislature and Congress.

Continued from Yesterday

He watched the colonel as he made
himself comfortable on the lounge
then he lighted a fresh cigar, tilted
his chair against the wall and with
head thrown back studied the ceiling
Watt HARRISON made one or two ten
tative attempts at conversation, to
which Gilmore briefly responded,
then the young fellow also became
thoughtful. He fell to watching the
gamblers strong profile which the
lamp silhouetted against the opposite
wall; then drowsiness completely
,overcame him and he slept in his
chair with his head fallen forward
on his breast.
Gilmore, alert and sleepless, smoked
on; he was thinking of Evelyn Lang
ham. After his interview with her
husband that afternoon he had gone
to his own apartment. His bed
room adjoined North's parlor and
through the flimsy lath and plaster
partition he had distinctly heard a
woman's voice. The sound of that
voice and the suspicion it instantly
begot added to his furious hatred of
North, for he had long suspected
that something more than friendship
existed between Marshall Langham' s
wife and Marshall Langham's friend
Damn him" thought the gambler
"FH fix him yeti" And he puffed
at his cigar Viciously.
He had made sure that Norths
mysterious visitor was Evelyn Lang
ham, for when she left the building
he himself had followed her. Out OF
the dregs of his nature this foolish
mad passion of his had risen to tor
ture him; he had never spoken with
Langhams wife, probably she knew
him by sight, nothing more; but still
his game. the waiting game he had
been forced to play, was working
itself out better than he had even
hoped. At last he had Marshall

questioned when he had drawn Gill

II guess not, they were asleep two
minutes ago.
That's good. l don't want to see

Gilmore.

Il don't think anything about it,"
well, maybe l am, l have been

drunk to attend to business; l am

His lips twitched, and Gilmore,
watching him furtively, saw that he
was again shivering.
you got what, Marsh?" demand
ed Gilmore in a whisper.
1.-THE money, the money I owe
you!"
"Oh, ] see!" He fell back step
and stared at Langham; there was
apprehension downing in his eyes.
where did you get it?" he asked
But Langham shook his head
That's my business; it's enough
| for you to get your money"
well, you were quick about it,"
said Gilmore. and he rested his hand
on the lawyers arm.
Langham moved a step aside
you threatened me-" he said re-
sentfully, but with drunken dignity.

to say that now you can smash and

still with dignity. Eve been under

Gilmore laughed.

n n EMBERS of Congress are won
N1 dering if Governor Wilson in
tends to try to take the same
active part in shaping and directing
legislation here that he has done in
Trenton.
Samuel G. Blythe, a well-known
Washington Correspondent, Is re-
sponsible for the story that is agl-
tating the representatives and sena-
tors. In an article on the incoming
administration, just printed, Mr..
Blythe says he was told by the
President-elect that the latter in
tends to go to the capitol frequently
and consult with members about
pending legislation, as he has done
at the New Jersey State House.
In the capitol. near the Senate
chamber, is a beautifully decorated
and furnished marble and gold room
known as the Presidents room. For
many years its main use has been
as an attraction or point of interest
exhibited to visitors by capitol
guides, who glibly describe the
meaning of the pictures and tell of
the Presidents who have occupied it.
About the only time former Pres
ldents have occupied this room has
been when they were waiting to be
escorted to the Senate chamber for
inauguration, and occasionally on the
last night of congressional sessions,
when they have gone there to sign
bills passed in the eleventh hour.
The story now going the rounds
here is that President Wilson intends

up those forgeries, and on the basis
of silence he would make his bargain
with the lawyer.
Gilmore pOndered this problem for
the better part of an hour, consider
ing it from every conceivable angle;
then suddenly the expression of his
face changed, he forgot for the mo-
ment his ambitions and his desires,
his hatred and his love; he thought
he heard the click of the old-fashion-
ed latch on the front gate. He re-
membered that it could be raised
only with difficulty Next he heard
the sound of footsteps approaching
the house. They seemed to come
haltingly down the narrow brick path
which the wind had swept clear of
snow.
Mr.. Gilmore was blessed with a
steadiness of nerve known to but
few men, yet the hour and the oc-
casion had their influence with him.
He stood erect: now the steps which
had paused for a moment seemed to
recede; it was as if the intruder,
whoever he might be, had come al
most to the front door and had then,
for some ineXplicable reason, gone
back to the street. Gilmore even
imagined him as standing there with
his hand on the latch of the gate. He
was tempted to rouse his two COM
panions, but he did not, and then,
as he still stood with his senses
tense. he heard the steps again ap-
proach the front door. With a glance
in the direction of the colonel and
his nephew to assure himself that
they still sept, Gilmore rather shame
facedly slipped his right hand under
the tails of his coat, tiptoed into the
hall and paused there close by the
parlor door, The steps outside con-
tinued, he heard the porch floor give
under a weight, and then someone
rappped softly on the door.
Gilmore waited an instant; the rap
was repeated; he stepped to the door,
shot the bolt and opened it. The
storm had passed. it was now cold
and clear, brilliant, starlit, winters
night. He saw the man on the porch
clearly as he stood there with the
world in white at his back Gilmore
instantly recognized him, and his
| hand came from under the tails OF
| his coat; he closed the door softly
What sort of a joke is this

"Joke?' repeated the lawyer in g
thick husky voice, as he took an un.
certain step toward the gambler.
"Your coming here at this hour; ii

By Roy K. Moulton

AT LAST.
In eighteen hundred and twenty when
Jim Purdy was nineteen.
He wrote a comic story for a we'll
known magazine.
The story was accepted by the editor
and when
Jim Purdy got the news he was the
happiest of men.
He thought of course his story would
within a month appear.
But strange to say it didn't get in
print at all that year.
Ten years he waited, then he Wrote
quite anxiously to learn
The reason. and they told him that
his yarn must wait it's turn.
He called upon the editor along in
sixty-nine,
And was informed his story was still
waiting in the line
He asked for information as to when
it might appear,
They told him that it might perhaps
come out most any year.
Jim Purdy waited patiently and lost
his teeth and hair,
And bought each issue hoping ne
would find his story there.
He talked about it all day lopg and
dreamed of it at night,
His OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES children
could not understand him quite.
One day the mail man brought
check, Old Jim pricked up his
ears.
Twas what he had been waiting for
nigh on to ninety years.
That week was sure lucky one. The
magazine came, too.
He trembled with excitement as ne
looked it's pages through.
His one hundred and seven years all
seemed to leave him when
He let a warwhoop out which seemed
to make him young again.
"rll write some more" he cackled, as
he quite forgot the past,
I've lived to see the thing IN print
they've published it at last
