his confidence about this transaction? ??
 Merry has never said one word against you-to me-"
 Then reserve your judgment until he does. If you were to ask him, and if he played fair, he would tell you that 1t was a straight, honest bargain, a bargain bought and paid and signed for. Merry, with all his fail. ings, is no welcher."
 Bought and paid and signed for?" repeated the girl in slow bewilder. ment. How could you buy and pay for something conceived by another mans brain and written by another mans hand"
 "That is my business, wholly" an swered Enoch coldly. "It is an affair no woman would understand" He paused to light another cigar; then he turned to Dorcas with such authority as he had never used to her before. Il want to say one thing before you leave this room. It is about the ques- ton of the authorship of this play. It is not to be brought up again at any time between us. Do you under stand?"
 "I understand" Dorcas answered quietly. T understand it is perfectly useless to appeal to conscience which is dead"
 Enoch shrugged his shoulders. eff that is the way you choose to put it, we'll and good. It seems to me pity that you cannot drop this altogether and-forget. The future looks bright for both of us. We could easily go back to cur old happy life if you Muuid."
 Uorcas moved toward the door. II cannot forget. promise you one thing, Enoch, will never speak of it again"
 Thank you," said the man brus- Quely.

and Enoch walked in. Hls face was glowing with eager, impetuous tri. umph, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes shone. He stopped suddenly to kiss his sister. She did not speak. It seemed years since she had seen him in such mood.
 "Dorry," he cried, "why did you rush home? Everybody was waiting to con- gratulate you. You lifted people off their feet; swear, you took me off mine! The critics went wild over you and wanted to interview you. Tomorrow you'll be the talk of the town"
 Everything that had blurred life seemed to vanish. It was wonderful that in a few hours the dreams of a lifetime should have come true. The girl laughed. Her heart had suddenly grown light.
 "Enoch. cannot make myself be- lieve 1t"
 He stood beside her with a proud smile upon his lips "Dorry, you're a queer proposition. Any other girl would have had her head turned by the triumph tonight. Why, child, in three hours you climbed straight onto 8 pedestal that many women work half a lifetime to reach. Even then they often miss it"
 Enoch bent and lifted her face till her eyes looked into his There were minutes" he said fondly, when l actually questioned whether it was the little sister herself or not"
 Dorcas had never seen her brother so strangely excited. She wondered for a moment if he had been drinking, but she saw it was the intoxication of sudden success, not of wine. He paced about the library, talking, laughing, building thousand plans for the future. The girl watched him GU. riously. It was a strange transition from the sullen silence of months.

"Dorry, You're a Queer Proposltion." 1"

"Dorry, You're a Queer Proposition" !" The Enoch of light-hearted boyhood days had returned.
 You have a great future, Dorry." He stopped abruptly and his voice grew grave. There Is one thing I want to say. Don't" he hesitated and began to pace the room again. as if choosing his words carefully. don't make a hero of Merry. He did well tonight. I have seen him set the whole town talking as he did in 'Esterbrook, then topple back and go down, away down."
 Dorcas rose from her chair and tossed the long braids of hair over her shoulders. Her eyes and cheeks were blazing. Wentworth's face grew in- exorable. "Enoch," she cried, "how dare you say such a thing-to me?''
 What do you mean?"
 You know what l mean!" He saw her chin tremble. In spite of her anger she was on the verge of tears. When people were calling for the au- thor. how did you dare to go out and take the applause? Have you no con science, no honor left?"
 Merry got as much applause as one man could stand" He looked at hel with dogged defiance.
 That makes you none the less-a thief"
 Enoch did not answer. He pulled g cigar from his vest pocket. lit it, anG began to smoke. He did not hinct before his sisters gaze.
 T should have been the happiest girl in the world tonight. almost fool ishly happy" There was pitifu quaver in her voice. T feel now as i I were disgraced. Men have gone tt the penitentiary for stealing-les l than you did"
 Wentworth laughed scornfully. H. tossed his cigar into the heart of tn fire and turned upon Dorcas in sud i den rage. Stealing is not nic word"
 Tt is nice enough for what has har pened.'
 Do you know" asked Wentwortl with grave deliberation. what did hal pen? Has Merry ever taken you int

into his dressing-room when I passed and gave me these." She unclasped her hand to show three caramels squeezed into sticky lump.
 Would your mother like to have him here?"
 Julie did not wait for her mother to answer.
 "Of course. Mother and love him."
 Well, you may be our messenger. Tell him he is invited to dine with three ladies. Dinner will be served in ten minutes"
 Merry returned with Julie clasping his hand.
 This is unexpected! When the young lady tapped at my door, l was debating whether it was worth while going out to eat in the storm"
 It was a gay little party. Dorcas ordered the waiter to set the dishes on the hot radiator, then she sent him away. Julie took her place delighted ly.
 You're a clever waitress" said Merry.
 T used to plan to be waitress when I was grown up," said the child, while. she gathered plates neatly on a tray. That was before went on the stage. Playing the little 'Cordelia' is nicer than being waitress"
 Tt means getting rich faster" said Merry gravely.
 "Of course" agreed Julie. "Still, it must be delightful work to be wait ress. Before we found you, Mother and I used to go mornings to little restaurant to get hot cakes, and loved to watch the waitresses. Some

of them were pretty. They had love- ly hair and cunning little muslin aprons
 Merry laughed. You were wise to decide on 'Cordelia.' T know that I would be quite happy to be 'Cordelia' with you, even if didn't get any money for it. Of course, though. it's lovely to get my salary envelope once a week, and to have nice rooms at Mrs. Billerwelps, and all we want to eat, and clothes and shoes. am growing rich-I have bankbook!"
 "Really?"
 Il have four hundred dollars in the bank"
 -Four hundred dollars!"
 When 1 have two thousand l am going to buy little house out in the country. Mother and I picked it out one day when Miss Dorcas took us driving. We will keep chickens and a pony and COW, and have cherry trees and radishes and pansies in the gar den."
 "I will come and board with you," said Merry, If don't have to milk the cow"
 "Oh. Mother" cried the child im- petuously, T never thought of keep ing boarders .before!-only we can't charge MT. Merry much"
 May I come too?" asked Dorcas. "Oh, that would be lovely!" Julie laid down chicken bone she held be- tween her fingers to clap her greasy little hands joyfully. Merry was tell ing a ridiculous adventure which had once befallen him on a snowbound train when he was interrupted by a timid knock at the door. Julie rose to open it. She turned to look back at her mother with a bewildered glance. A small, odd fig ure stood motionless in the doorway a little boy with serious, brown eyes. His straight, yellow hair was cropped l in fringe about his eyes, then it waved upward. He wore a black suit with long, tight trousers. A round jacket. over white shirt. reached to his waist. In his hand be held a hat like small saucer. "Hullo, David Copperfield. where did you come from?" cried Merry.
 That isn't my name." The child had soft English accent T have heard of David Copperfield,' but I'm not David. sir, my name is Robin Fully"
 Come in Master Robin Tully," said Merry, and have dinner with us.''
 The child stared at them steadily but did not move
 Dorcas jumped to her feet. Oh! she whispered. "the poor little boy is
 blind.!"
 The child stood moving his dark ened eyes about as if to place hel

STEAMSHIP MEN ADJOURN
CONFERENCE UNTIL MAY !
Fail So Far to Reach Any Agree
ment Over Steerage Passenger
Traffic and Pool Issues.

BERLIN. March a.-The conference of
the transatlantic shipping COMPANIES
broke up today without reaching any
settlement. The representatives of the
British and continental teamship COM
panies decided to adjourn until May /,
when they will meet again in Cologne
The conference here did not evolve even
a tangible basis for further negotiations.
The delegates from the various companies
departed in an uncommunicative mood.
One of them as he left said the delegates
had negotiated until they were tired with
out making any appreciable progress and
that they We're going home to make Il
fresh survey of the situation before re-
Stunning their discussions.
The troubles. he declared. were almost
exclusively connected with the steerage
passenger traffic. Other delegates de-
clared that the problems to be settled
were so complicated that the transatlantic
shipping pool could only be renewed after
protracted discussions.

COMMITTEE ENDS HEARINGS.
New Yorker Last to Appear Against
Proposed Antitrust Laws.

Hearings before the House judiciary
committee on the administration bills
designed to supplement the Sherman
antitrust law We're finished today with
the appearance of Willard V. King of
the Columbia Knickerbocker Trust
Company of New York. who opposed
the interlocking directorate bill. Hear
ings will be continued. however, on the
holding companies bill recently
framed.
Mr. King told the committee that
without some connection between rail-
roads and industrial corporations and
big banks the former would find it al
most impossible to market their Sc
curities.
THE public will not subscribe for
railroad and corporation securities"
he said. unless they are Endorsed by
some large. well known financial in
stitution.''
AS an instance. Mr.. King declared
that the Missouri Pacific railroad would
be forced into "a receivership unless
some large financial house arranges
to finance it's maturing obligations dur
ing the coming year.
