HAD SOMETHING LEFT OVER
Senator Was Wondering Just How He
Would Employ the Remnant OF
His Salary Left.

Senator John K Shields Of Tennes-
see is a homelover and likes his own
Preside better than the gilded glories
of a gaudy hostelry On his big planta-
ton out in his state he has a large,
colonial mansion surrounded by sew
eral hundred acres Of fine land OF
which he pastures cattle, ponies and
goats.
But when he came to the capital
and sought to get house suitable tor
his lares and penates, he found 1t
difficult task An energetic real es-
tate agent motored him and his wife
from one house to another, each time
the price rising skyward for the rent.
Now. the senator receives $1,000
year. and if he pays out much for rent
he will have to be pretty economical
in his food and clothing.
So he and Mrs. Shields tramped
over houses of all kinds for days. At
last the agent got them cor1Nred in
lovely mansion big enough to house
regiment and ornate enough to suit
the Shah of Persia. He took them
over 1t from top to bottom and at last
stood up before them in the handsome
library.
What is the rent" asked the sena-
tor. who was nightly pleased with the
place.
Very reasonable" replied the agent.
"Oniy $500 year."
Senator Shields went over to win

deep breath, which he nlistook for
sigh.
"Oh, trust mother to nose into

she said, collecting herself After mo-

are going to marry my poor little Het-
ty, and they are all pleased with the
arrangement.
If she'll have me- he said with a
wink, as if to say there was't any
use doubling it. They're tickled to
death.
''Vivian?"
"Viv's a snob. She says Hetty' S

He looked to see Miss Castleton
vince, and was somewhat dashed to
find that she was looking out of the
window, quite oblivious to the peril
he was in figuratively for her special
consideration.
Booth was acutely reminded that
was a misnomer; he hated the
thought of the other word, which re-
f1ectively he rhymed with pad"
1t occurred to him early in the
course of this oneeided discussion
that the hostess was making no eff
fort to take part in it, whether from
lack Of interest Or because of it's friv-
olous nature he was, of course I'M
able to determine. Later, he was
struck by the curious pallor Of her
face, and the lack-luster expression
of her eyes. She seldom removed her
gaze from Wrandalrs face, and yet
there persisted in the observers
mind the rather uncanny impression
that she did not hear word her
brother-in-law was saying. He. in
turn took to watching her covertly.
At no time did her expression change.
For reasons of his own, he did not
attempt to draw her into the CONVEX
satlon, fascinated as he was by the
study Of that beautiful emotionless
face. Once he had the queer sensa-
ton of feeling, rather than seeing, a
haunted look in her eyes, but he put
it down to fancy on his part
And Leslie babbled on in blissful
Of To
this strange ghost at the feast. for,
to Booths mind, the ghost of Challis
Wrandan was there
Turning to Miss Castleton with a
| significant look in his eyes, meant to
| to call her attention to Mrs. Wrandall
| he was amazed to find that every yes
| tige Of color had gone from the girls
| face. She was listening to Wrandall
and replying in monosylla bles, but
| that she was aware of the other WON
ans abstraction was not for an in
slant to be doubted. Suddenly, after
| quick glance at Saras face, she
looked squarely into Booths eyes, and
| he saw in hers an expression Of actual
concern, If not alarm
Leslie was in the middle of a sen
tence when Sara laughed aloud, with
out excuse or reason. The next in
slant she was looking from one to the
other in dazed sort Of way, as i
| coming out of a dream.
Wrandall turned scarlet. There hat
been nothing in his remarks to cal
for laugh, he was quite sure of that
Flushing slightly, she murmured some
| thing about having thought of al
amusing story. and begged him t,
go on, she wouldn't be rude again
He had little zest for continuing tn
subject and sullenly disposed of it il
a word or two.
What the devil was there to laugl
at, Brandy" he demanded of hi
friend after the women had left then
together on the porch few minute
later. Hetty had gone upstairs wit
Mrs Wrandall. her arm clasped tight
1y about the older woman's waist

But he was perplexed.

She Was No Easy Mark.

Martha is seven. and has shown
more than ordinary childish aversion
to learning lessons being washed and
having curls made smooth and shiny,
and less than the average delight in
fairy-tales
One day upon her return from Sun
day school she was questioned as to
what she had learned from her mic.
teacher this time. She cried out with
flashing eyes and an indignant toss Ut
her pretty head Why, mamma; my
teacher told me today that story about
the Children Of Israel walking across
the Red sea and not getting their
selves wet one single bit-and she
espected me to believe it,"

as he had fondly expected her to do;
and then there was that very disqui-
citing laugh Of Sara's. A hundred
times over he repeated to himself that
sickening question: What the devil
was there to laugh at?'' and no an
swer suggested itself. He was decid-
edly cross about it.

She was perfectly still for long
time, SO still that she did not appear
to be breathing. Her eyes grew dark
er, more mysterious. If he had taken
the pains to notice, he would have seen
that her fingers were rigid.
Il am pleased" she said, very gently.
She could have shrieked the words.
How she hated all these SNUG Wran-

his words with care and precision.

the look. Il would do the same, 'por

CHAPTER x.
M an Proposes.


The young men cooled their heels
for an hour before word was brought
down to them that Mrs. Wrandall
begged to be excused for the after
noon on account Of a severe head
ache. Miss Castleton was with her,
but would be down later on. Mean
while they were to make themselves
at home, and SO on and so forth.
Booth took his departure, leaving
Leslie, in sole possession of the porch.
He was restless, nervous, excited ;;
half-afraid to stay there and face Het-
ty with the proposal he was deter
mined to make, and wholly afraid to
forsake the porch and run the risk OF
missing her altogether if she came
down as signifed. Several things
disturbed him. One was Hetty's de-

Real Grange Enterprise.

This significant item appeared in To-
cal newspaper in one of the small
towns of Massachusetts: The third
grange fountain arrived in town Sat
urday and was put in place at the end
of the common. The fountain is Of
handsome design and will add to the
attractiveness of the grounds. The
cost of the fountain is about $50 and
will be paid for out OF the grange
treasury" The item is OF interest for
two or three reasons, and one is that 1t
shows one excellent form Of grange
enterprise 1t also shows community
interest. and this is certainly one of the
most praiseworthy activities of any
grange. 1t also shows that the people
believe In kindness to dumb animals.
