THE PRESIDENT: The senator
from Kennebec. Senator Swift, offers
the following resolution: Resolved.
That in the death on June 16. 1915, of
the Honorable Edwin Chick Burleigh,
late senator of the United States from
Maine, the nation has lost an honor
able and useful public servant and the
State has lost distinguished citizen
whose unself1sh devotion to the inter-
ests of Maine and of his constituents
endear him to our people.
Resolved, That the secretary Of the
Senate transmit copy of these reso-
lutions to the family of the deceased
senator"
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Bur-
leigh died at his home in Augusta q
few months ago. 1t is most fitting that
these resolutions should be presented
by the honored senator from his home
city. He has informed me that in his
canvass among the members of the
Senate that no senator at this time Is
prepared to speak upon the life of the
late distinguished Senator Burleigh.
And he has asked the Chair to say a
word at this time.
Senators, I feel that this occasion
ought not to pass without some slight
%oi,.r from, the Ieeislature of Maine
in the way Of eulogy upon our distin-
guished citizen and late senator from
Maine.
Perhaps very few In Maine knew the
senator better than myself. Ny earliest

primarily the call for this session Is
TO complete the revision Of the statutes
otherwise the session would not have been
called"
Your attention, however. Is called
to the cash in the Land Reserve School
Fund required under Chapter 7. Sec
ton 1e, which reads as follows:
The treasurer shall keep separate
account with the Reserved Land in
each such township. in which account
he shall enter all sums by him receiv-
ed and paid on account thereof; and the
balance shall remain the treasury un-
til such township or tract is by law au-
thorized to receive 1t and thereupon 1t
shall be paid to the proper officers
thereof
This seems to say that tho money
unexpended in this fund shall remain
in the treasury-although this provf-
sion has not always been observed.
"on December 81. 1915. there was Of
actual cash In this fund $433.132.s9 and
that is the figure at which the fund
stood on the books on that date This
amount will be increased by the re-
ceipts Of this year.
In many instances the money may
not be needed for a hundred years and
possibly some Of 1t may never be de-
nanded The fund is constantly in
creasing.

Return.

His return to Troyon's, although an
enterprise which Lanyard had been
contemplating for several years, ever
since the death Of Bourke, came to
pass at length almost purely as an af-
fair Of impulse.
He had come through from London
by the afternoon service-via Bou-
logne-traveling light, with nothing
but brace of handbags and his life
in his hands. Two coups to his credit
since the previous midnight had made
the shift advisable, though only one
of them, the later, rendered it urgent.
Scotland Yard would, he reckoned,
require at least twenty-four hours to
unlimber for action on the Omber af-
fair; but the other, the disappearance

rived Unexpectedly, with neither warn
ing nor ostentation, stopped as long as
he liked, whether day or week or
a month, and departed in the same
manner
His daily routine. as TToyon's came
to know it, varied but slightIy-he
breakfasted abed, about half after ten,
dined early and well, but always alone,
and shortly afterward departed by
cab for some well-known bar on the
Rive Droite; and the hour of his re-
turn remained a secret between him
self and the concierge.
On retiring Bourke would empty his
pockets upon the dressing table,
where the boy, Marcel, bringing up
Bourke's petit dejeuner the next morn
Ing, would see displayed a tempting
confusion of gold and silver and cop
per, with a wad of banknotes, and the
customary assortment of personal
hardware.
Now inasmuch as Bourke was never
wide awake at that hour, and always,
after acknowledging Marcels bon
jour, rolled over and snored for glory
and the saints, 1t was against human
nature to resist the lure of that dress
ing table. Marcel seldom departed
without a coin or two.
He had yet to learn that Bourke's
habits were those Of an Englishman,
who never goes to bed without leav-
ing all his pocket money in plain sight
and-carefully catalogued in his mem
DRY.
One morning in the spring of 1904
Marcel served Bourke his last break
fast at Troyon's.
The Irishman had been on the prowl
the previous night, and his rasping
snore was audible even through the

wretched child, Marcel. But now it
appeared he had procrastinated IA

other than the shell Of the Troyon's

gone; madame no longer occupied the
desk Of the caisse; inquiries, so dis
