four Wrandalls.

Mr.. Carroll said that you were fair

Sara, shaking her head. But for me
your story would have been told

cleared you, and all the world would
have execrated my husband for the
thing he did-my husband and your

At nine o'clock, Booth was in Sara's
library, trying to grasp a new and re-
markable phase in the character of
that amazing woman.
He found Hetty waiting for him
when he arrived.

over her shoulder as she spoke. Sara
says that she has come to a decision
of some sort. She wants US to hear
her plan before making it final. IL

1T can't be anything serious, dear

nameless oppressed him just the same.

cided TOTO be your wife, Brandon. l

days more in which to decide. 1t

that way about it. Our home shall be

Sara heard the girls words as she

after closing the door behind her.

{ Representative Howard of Georgia,
believing that many army officers may
be quartering horses, carriages and
private automobiles in government
stables and garages. has introduced a
resolution which. is aimed at a dis.
! closure Of the truth concerning his as
sumption. The resolution asks that
the secretary Of war shall transmit TO
Congress a list Of all automobiles. car
| riages and horses cared for by the
government in the army quartermas-
ters' stables. The inventory is to be
confined to the District of Columbia.
Although there is no doubt of the
confirmation Of Col William c. Gorgas
as surgeon-general of the army with
the rank Of brigadier-general, it is
not probable that ne will actually as
sumo the duties of the office for sew
eral weeks. He is now at Johannes
burg South Africa, making a study of
conditions in the diamond fields with
view 10 needed sanitary improve
mepts. At the instance of the British
government he was granted four
months leave of absence to make the
inspection. Associated with Col. Cor
gas in the work is Mai. Robert E.
Noble OF the United States medical
corps.
In view of Col. Gorgas promotion to
the head Of the corps. 1t is expected he
will hasten his return to this country
and leave Maj. Noble to complete the
sanitary mission in which they are
both engaged. 1t is probable also that
he will feel obliged to visit the Pan
anna Canal Zone, in order to close I'D
the business of which he is in charge
in that quarter before assuming his
new duties in Washington.
Owing to the great distance he has
to travel, he is not looked for at the
war department much before the end
OF next month. In the meantime Col.
Charles M. Candy. the senior medical
officer on duty at the department, is
acting as surgeon.general, and will
continue to serve in that capacity un-
til relieved by Col. .Gorgas. Col. Gam
dy was designated as acting surgeon
general December 81 last, following
the death Of Surgeon General Torney.
A favorable report on the nomina-
ton of Col. Gorgas was agreed upon
today by the senate military affairs
