medicine for her failing infant. Lu-
clan. who himself is in serious physical
condition, is later befriended by Noel
Farquhar, wealthy bachelor, who, find
ing him in a faint in the muddy street,
takes him to his home and nurses him
back to death. Lucian tells him of
Mrs. Scarle's poverty, and Farquhar
attempts to get Eumenes Fame, IL mis-
or of Il landlord, to reduce the rents
for his Searlc tenants. Instead Fame
says he'll raise them. Farquhar meets
Miss Fame, who has ambitions to be-
come an actress. Farquhar advises her
that her chances on the stage would
be good. He is charmed with her per-
sonality, as she also is with his. 10
see him again she attends church for
the first with her brother Bernard.
Tarquhar relates to Lucian 10Y he at
n time was made Il slave by an
African chief. Bernard Fame is near

They left off talking by common con-
sent. The entrance of the stranger
had checked and turned their thoughts
and. strangely enough, seemed to dis
locate their simple and friendly rela-
ton. Dolly o out her butter. pulled
down her sleeves and turned her at
trntion to the bacon. When she broke
silence it was to speak of a fresh sub
,jcct. one which she had not meant to
breach that morning. though it had
been on her mind since the night be-
fore.
mfr. De SaumarcZ, will YOU take a
message from me to Mr.. I~arnuhar:'
with all my heart, only I've a kind
of idea that he'd rather you told him
J yourself.'
"No, but | would not. don't wish

"Mnkc up your mind:"

he'll be what you make him, Dolly

I'm coming to that. | dom want to

Me: Oh, I'm Il harmless individual;
you needn't do that
But | want to put o both Oh al

All, but yon'!l never marry me"
The sincerity of conviction was in
Lurian's voice. Dolly had that one
1lecting glimpse into his fundamental
creed. Whilt he lived he would never
give up hope. but behind it he accept
ed the certainty that no hope of his
would ever find fultillmcnt. Such in

surveyed. without any great Skill on
the part of the craftsman, but it in
spired confidence. His slow, soft voice
and deliberate movements built up the
notion of strength, and Lucian had not
heard him speak two sentences before
he knew that he liked him. Here was
a man whose calm courage was not at
the mercy Of his nerves; a man also
of stern rcctitude. by nature narrow,
but %broadened into tolerance by eX-
periencc.
'VVhat do you think of the quarry?'
Lucian asked Charlesworth.
First rate" Charlesworth stepped
to the edge of the pit and stood there
calm as a rock. with the square toes
of his big boots projecting into the
air. He pointed to the dark buttreSS
behind which the boring machine was
at work. See that? That's the finest
sample I've seen out of Scotland. You
mark my words-in five years you'll
be sending shipments right out to the
States. and they'll take all you've got
and ask for more. Mr.. Farquhar's be-
gun the right way. He's put plenty
money in the concern and he'll take
plenty out-always providing We don't
get sent to kingdom come first"
Farquhar laughed at this last idea.
but Lucian asked an explanation. The
American impressed him as a very
careful speaker, not given to random
words.

his chin. 'theSe chaps here don't take

Republican Senators Opposed
to Adjournment Sept. 1.
Unless They Secure Vote on
Several Pet Measures.

Washington, Aug. 11.-With q view
to embarrassing the administration,
Republican senators in conference
fatty rejected the revised legislative
clined to be a party to the plan to
adjourn by September 1.
Democrats offered to pass the pend
ing shipping bill, the revenue bill, the
workmen's compensation bill, appro-
priation measures and consider con-
ference reports and then adjourn. Re-
publicans discussed the situation for
two hours. They decided to insist up
on action on immigration bill. the
passage of the Spanish war widow
pension bill and the volunteer officers
retirement bill Both the latter have
been opposed by group of south
ern senators.
The discussion resulted in the adop-
ton Of the following resolution:
Resolved, That the power TO CO..
troll both legislation and adjournment
rests with the Democratic majority in
congress. The Republican senators
reserve the right to support OF
oppose or suggest action on any
legislation pending and they further
urge that the immigration bill shall be
taken up and acted upon at this ses-
SION
Democrat leaders who thought they
had everything arranged for an early
adjournment and prompt entrance
into the campaign, were disturbed
They realize it is intended to confront
the president with a possible veto OF
the immigration bill on account of the
literacy test it contains. Their uneasi-
ness was not lessened when later in
the day Senator Ashurst, speaking fol
the Democrat friends of the immigra-
ton bill, announced he would oppose
any adjournment plan that did moi
provide first for a vote on immigra-
ton. Senator Myers Of Montana, sale
