Speaker. a matter has been called to my
attention which perhaps should be called
to tho attention Of the House. refer to
House Doc. No. SIS. which was passed to
be engrossed. referring to the temporary
licensing Of automobiles, and there was
an amendment presented. The amend
ment which was presented required that
the tag issued should be returned within
seven days and the bill itself stipulates
that such tags are good for seven days
for use on automobiles. Now the propo-
sition comes up. how would 1t be possible
to return this within seven days II It is
good for use for seven days? I have no
objection to tho amendment only in so
FAR as it is inconsistent with the terms
Of the bill, and I move that we recon-
slider the vote whereby this bill was pass
ed to be engrossed as amended.
The motion was agreed to.
On motion by the Same gentleman the
action Of the House was reconsidered
whereby Senate Amendment A was
adopted in concurrence.
On further motion by the same gentle
man the matter was tabled until tomor-

Bobby Mouse in the Corner

This little mouse lived in a very large corner of Dr. Whites house.
 He was three months cid. This ts an incident that happened one Sun day at dinner time.
 Mrs. White was preparing large 2unday dinner, because she was so- ing to have company. Little Bobby sat in the corner taking it all in. Mrs. White began to tell MT. White about the fine pies she had in ths pantry, and Bobby hoped that she would leave a little crack in the door so that he could get in and have some pie. Mrs. White always made a little pie for her sisters little girl, Cologne. Bobby thought that pie would be just enough for his dinner. Finally the sisters family came and when they sat down to dinner, Mrs. White left the pantry door open and Bobby got in there and ate not only Colcgne's pie but q dish of dessert. His little stomach was on the point of break ing when he heard Mrs. White con- ing toward the pantry and the oGly means of escape was to hido in q bag of apples. Mrs. White was coming to the pantry for apples and dessert. Mrs. White heard some thing moving in the apple bag and there sat Bobby in the bag She grabbed a pie and ran out of the pantry. She told MT. White, but when he got in there Bobby was gone. He went back and finished his dinner and Bobby crept back tc his corner and said to himself. "The corner is the best place for me"

Where is Sophie?" groaned Ste
pan, writhing in his bonds.
Tozan laughed and pointed behind
him. AS Stepan turned his head a
muffled, choking cry reached his
ears. He managed to twist far
enough to see Sophie, gag over her
mouth, strapped to chair against
the shaft of the elevator.
''Now, Stepan, isten," said Tozan,
smacking his lips. you stole Sophie
from me, and you are going to die,
you know. At first l thought that 1
would spare you and kill the girl, be-
cause you got me my job. But that
would be inconvenient, and so you
are both going to die together.

Stepan, trying to make for him.
And suddenly he stopped dead, for
this time he had actually loosened a
loop of rope in his struggle, and it
was necessary not to let Tozan know
this. He stopped still and waited.

to move or cry out. What would it
have suficed in any event?
Stepan could not get free. The
loop of rope was Stacker, but his legs
and arms were still bound. AS he
struggled he saw Tozan mount the
rock and stand there; he fancied his
watch was in his hand but it was i'm
possible to discern anything clearly.
Cut off above, the glare of the elec-
trio lights beneath, the man looked
like monstrous phantom. 1t was
easy to hear, however. .Nr
Five minutes more, Stepan," cried
Tozan's mocking voice. ''In five min
utes the rope burns through and the
dynamite will fall plump down the
shaft between you and Sophie there
in four minutes. That will be les
son to both of you, my friends. In
three minutes more you will be blown
to fine powder. There is no escape,
unless a miracle saves you. In two

His voice rang out through the col
umn of air imprisoned in the shaft
and the sonorous echoes beat in a
hundred little waves among the
focks.

And the last word was drowned in
the explosion of the dynamite.
Stepan, hearing the discharge
covered, his hands over his head. The
motion was an instructive one, for he
did not doubt that he would be blown
into the tiniest fragments. And the
volume of the expoding dynamite
seemed to fill the shaft. Above 1t
rang out Sophie's shrin screams.
Stepan was coming back to con-
sciousness. Somebody-a woman
was screaming Sophie had got her
gag free from her mouth and with
her cries there stole into Stepan's
mind the realization that neither of
them was dead.
"'SODhiet" he gaSDed.
