arc lamp proved to be his savior.
The lull made Jones doubly alert.
He was positive that they were pre-

direction and in what manner? He
had not met the gift of clairvoyance.
SO he had to wait; and waiting is
terrible game when perhaps death is
balancing the scales. 1t is always
easier to make an assault than to
await 1t; and it is a good general who
always finds himself prepared.
But it made his heart ache to watch
the child. She went about cheerfully
when any one was in the room with
her. Many a time, however, he had
stolen to the door of her bedroom and
heard the heart-rending sobs, vain

eighteen; it was first love; and FIRST
loves are pale, evanescent attach

the Senate foreign relations COMMITTEES
at its meeting next week.
Renewals at the last session Of Con-
gress were abrutly halted after the
French treaty had been ratified, by OBJ
jectfons from certain senators who said
they feared ratification Of the British
treaty would compel the United States
to arbitrate the Panama canal tolls con-
troversy. Consequently. renewals with
other countries were held up.
A number Of special treaties also are
pending. chief among them, one with
