Daddy" exclaimed Anne with such
severity that her father looked at her
astonished. "How can you think of
dogs when the dearest man on earth
is-oh, he may be dying right now"
And Anne burst into tears.
An understanding smile slowly over
spread Henry Madison's rugged face,
and he laid the paper on table and
went to the window seat where Anne
had buried her head in the pillows.

GOOD LUCK IN DISGUISE.

The military ball at the governors
mansion was at its height. AS a
waltz ended John Warren and Anne
Madison went from the ballroom down
to the library on the second floor, in
response to Johns plea for few mo-
ments alone with his partner. The
library being a dignified state apart
ment, it made scant appeal to the
other guests at the ball, and so the
two had it all to themselves.
Anne, you wouldn't have refused to
give me a second dance unless there
was something wrong" began John.
"Tell me how I've offended and let
me expiate my shortcomings. won't
you?"
"I'm going to be perfectly frank,
john" and Anne's brown eyes looked
straight into Johns gray ones. 'It's
that silly old dog law you introduced
into the legislature"
you've turned against me just for
that?" Johns pleading question was
almost gasp.
mot I. John, but daddy has. Oh,
you should hear him rave about it.
If it wasn't $3.50 unpleasant to hear
him, it would be really funny" And
Anne's sense of humor got the better
Of her other feelings and she smiled
and slowly shook her dropping head.
What does he say? l might find
way to appease him if l knew his
line of attack"
ooh. something like this for start

block knocked off for introducing that
fool dog law into the legislature. It's

Mention OF Roosevelt's name by

Alabama temporarily passed.
Alaska did not answer, and Arizona
finally yielded to New York. Gov

An attempt to have Roosevelt in

Weinberg OF Maryland had a reso-

formed that unanimous consent was
necessary for It's consideration.
Smoot's report was considered with
deep attention and he had frequently
to pause for applause.
The prospect at noon was that the
nominating and seconding speeches
would continue for at least three
hours.
