sullenly submissive. at least in OUT
ward seeming, Judith bowed to this de-
cision, marched out Of the car, and
suffered Msrrophat to help her mount,
her horse.
Now, deliberately, as the little cayal-
cade rode through the moonlit desert
night, the girl Unanswered her horse
to the side Of Hopi Jim, and then
dropped back, permitting Marrophat
to lead the way with Texas.
AS deliberately she set herself to
work upon the bandits susceptibility

Within an hour she had him ready
to do anything to win her smile.
In that first rush Of golden day a.

Her eyes alone, indeed, could have
recognized the features Of Alan Law

Two sentences exchanged between
Hopi Jim and a blear.eyed fellow
whom he reused from sodden slumbers
behind the bar sealed their confidence
with conviction: the three fugitives
were in fact guests Of the house, oe-

composed its upper story.
In tho rush that followed up the
narrow stairway, Judith led. with such

Last night the Poll Players gave a

The last few weeks have served to

The teDperamental disccuragement Of

SENATE LAUGHS At
TOLLS DISCLOSURES
Smith Has Dramatic Tilt With
Root Over Treaty Consid-
GRAFTON.

Senator William Alden Smith today
stirred UP the Senate in his speech
gainst the repeal bill, by going back
. the debate in the House in 1900,
When the Hepburn bill for a nicaraguan
anal was under consideration. That
Measure was put forth for the purpose
VI killing the first Hay-Pauncefote
reaty, which was extremely objection
BILE to Congress, and was never rati-
red by the Senate.
Senator Smith pointed out that New
lands. John Sharp Williams. Swanson.
and Shafroth, now Senator'S, were then
in the House and were found voting
for the Hepburn measure in defiance Of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, whereas
now they are showing extreme solici-
tude for the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
The Senate laughed heartily at his dis
closures from the record.
Tilt With Root.
4 dramatic passage between Senator
Smith and Senator Root occurred. Sen
ator Smith. who has severely criticised
Senator Roots attitude, addressed
series OF questions to Root who en-
tered the door of the Senate just at
the right time, and proceeded TO reply.

Smith, ''if the first Hay-Pauncefote
treaty was Put 10 death in the Senate,
and whether he applauded that fact

who stood confronting Senators Smith.
the Senator from New York did ap-
plaud its death and IL was put to
death because il exempted the United
states from that political and military
control that is provided for in the
second Hay-Pauncefote treaty"
Senator Smith then wanted to know
whether Root, then Secretary of War
under Mckinley, opposed the first
Hay-Pauncefote treaty in the Cab
met and whether Mr.. Hay submitted
II to the Senate in spite of Root. He
sought TO find out If it had been be-
fore the Cabinet.

1T was not We had confidence in
Mr.. Hay" said Senator Root
He declared he knew nothing of what
had been put into the first treaty until
after the public discussion.

the statement of Senator Root that
little attention was paid by the Cabinet
Of Mr.. Mckinley to this treaty." said
Senator Smith. $50 that ii will not ap-
pear that the instrument in question

Administration leaders We're doubtful
this afternoon when a vote would he
reached. Apparently the Norris-Sim-
mons amendment or one stronger will
be adopted. Administration Democrats
are finding the Senate more and more
restive- There is little question that,

amended bill ON the Senate, after the |
