 Was she? Through all the night she had battled that question, and the bat tie had left traces of darkness around her luminous eyes.
 Late in the afternoon Jim Sargent came home, drawn, Jagged, and with hollows under his eyes. He had a vio- lent headache, and he looked ten years older He walked slowly into the li- brary where Mrs. Sargent and Mrs. Davies and Gail were discussing the future of Vedder court. and dropped into chair.

 All of it," smiled Gail She had known that Allison would keep his word. but it gave her a strange sense of relief that he had done so.
 Her Aunt Helen turned to her with commanding eye; but Gail merely dimpled.
 "Of course I couldn't say anything" went on Gail. Tt was all in conf- dence. Isn't it glorious, Uncle Jim!"
 You wouldn't have thought so if you'd been down town today" respond ed her uncle. trying again to erase from his brow the damage which had been done to his nerses.

Democrats in Senate Will Vote for the Measure and Leaders Express

WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 22-- The senate bill appropriating eleven million dollars for the construction of a government armor plate plant, is now up for debate, and a number of speeches for and against the measure have been made. A considerable 0p- position to the measure has develop ed, particularly on the Republican side of the Senate, and the debate is 8 heated one.
 Despite the opposition there ap- pears to be but little chance that tho bill will be defeated when it comes to a vote, as the democratic vote, practically in its entirety, will be in favor of the establishing of the plant. Statistics have been introduced in the debate showing that the government can save the entire cost of the plant in a few years out of the difference in cost between the plate purchased at the prices which have ruled with in the past ten years, and the cost of producing the plate in government owned plant. ..-

AS the duties of librarian is entirely in the hands of volunteers from among the ladies, it is feared that unless the number of those who give of their services in this direc- tion is not increased, the library will be closed on Fridays all day. At present the number of volunteers is very limited, and the burden of keep ing this worthy institution open has fallen upon a very few. It is hoped the necessity of closing Fridays may be obviated by some of the ladies taking up the duties.
