Albany, May 1.-The Senate passed
several bills OF general Importance to-
day, but progress was made so slowly
that Senator Elon r. Brown and other
leaders OF both houses have practically
abandoned hope Of finishing the ses-
sion this week.
In the days grind one Of the So
called war emergency bills sponsored
by Senator Brown, the Thompson bill
the Public Service Com
mission, the Ottinger bill providing a
summary means Of ending the New
York Central West Side problem and
the Welsh bill establishing uniform
traffic rules throughout the state, eX-
cept in New York City, were passed.
The Brown bill permitting children
TO be relieved from school between
April ! and November TO work in az
ricultural pursuits was opposed by only
two Senators-Graves, Of Buffalo, and
Sheridan, Of New York City. Permits
are to be issued by local school au-
thorities and class credits are to be
awarded.

was evident that he did not propose to be witness to anything Wander vyn might do.
 "Mon pere," quietly called Marie.
 He shot a startled glance at her, hesitated, and came over to them. Vandervyn's eyes were upturned to the figure on the mountainside in look of hate that was not pleasant to see. Dupont followed the menacing stare, and then glanced away as if caught in the guilty act. Fast as Hardy was scaling the ascent, he was still within easy rifle shot and would continue to be for several minutes.
 vandervyn moistened his dry lips, and muttered hoarsely: "Take her into the cabin. She-won't let me-do it."
 Dupont coughed, and spoke in q husky voice. Come into the cabin, Marie"
 "No," she replied.
 "But listen, girl" he urged. "No one won't never know, and we won't be looking. We can lay it on the same buck Indian what has tried to git him twice already. There's a lot of 'em just come into the valley Don't look at me that way. The dirty sneak has took our mine away from us-he done 1t by a trick, cutting cross afoot. Mir. Van can't afford to marry you if me and him don't git the mine."
 "What if I should get it?" asked the girl, with no shade of change in her inscrutable calm.
 Vandervyn whirled upon her, his face convulsed with jealous fury. "So that's it! You've sold yourself to himi You" He stopped, silenced by her look.
 After pause she quietly remarked :: He gives me the mine. He is going away, I do not know where. Instead of you, I am to be the owner of the mine. Do you wish to marry me?"

willing to travel with Pere! But I cannot allow yOv ,U make such sac rifice. No; there is a better way. l shall go alone with Pere to England, and then perhaps for little visit to Paris with the sister of the mother superior of my convent. Pere has never forgotten his French-Canadian dialect, and I have been tinkering it into fairly good French. A month or two in Paris may correct his accent. It may also smooth down our rough nesses enough for us to venture over to Washington without putting you too greatly to shame before your friends"
 1.-TWO months !-all that time?" com plained Vandervyn.
 Indeed, no. It will be much longer" answered the girl. "I cannot permit you to mafry mere agency girl. Be sides, if Pere does not wish to sell out his cattle business, I may have to wait for returns from the mine. It takes quantities of money to buy pol ish, and lots of time to put it on. We shall not reach Washington before No vember or December"
 "Five or six monthS!' "
 "Yes Aren't you willing to wait for me?" asked the girl, bridling. The sudden change from meekness won a nasty assurance from Wander vyn: "Of course I am. It will be a fearfully long time to be without you, if you insist upon But I could run over and see you in England or France"
 "No," she refused. q wish you to stay and work for the good of my people. Pere and I still are members of the tribe, you know, and I am deep- ly interested in the irrigation project laid out by Captain Hardy"
 Vandervyn smiled in his most boyish manner.
 "I am neither an engineer nor an army officer. Someone else must dig the ditches. I shall at once go on to Washington and prepare for the pas sage of the appropriation. It's going to slide through as soon as congress meets"
 "And then I shall come over from Paris. You will break off your engage. sir! not a single kiss-not one until you are free. and set the day. I am an heiress now, and must act accord ingly. Besides, here is Pere with the horses. We must be starting."

 Vandcrvyn's face darkened with sus- picion.
 "If you're not playing me, then he has lied to you, in order to get away from us.'
 Marie's lips curved in a half-smile. 'He gave me his word of honor. Do you doubt it?"
 The young mans jaw dropped slack. He could not even pretend to doubt her statement or Hardy's word. He looked down, his brows knotted and ,yes contracted with intense thought.
 Dupont took the news in a far diff ferent manner.
 "By Carl" he exulted. He's going to give you the mine? You're dead sure of it? By Gar! I call that mighty square of Cap. It's white git back at us. It sure is white of Cap Why. it's nearly the same ike he had give it to me!''
 "TIc named o1ly one condition," re- marked Marie. Vardervyn started, and looked UT a. her. She met him with level glance that told nothing of what she was thinking.
 "One condition,' she repeated. "Tt was my promise not to give yoG any share in the mine"
 z "Me?" queried Dupont.
 "No."
 ! q see," threatened Vandervyn. "He thinks to force you from having any, thing to do with me-"
 "On the contrary, he seemed to think it would-not prevent our marrying" Vandervyn stared in bewilderment. Hardy's action seemed incredible. Then he thought he perceived the ex- l planation, and rallied from his per 1 plexity. His frown gave place to q cynical smile.
 him with the soft pedal-the saphead :! The easy mark! He's just the kind of duffer to fall for the vail of a pretty girl with a tear in her eye and a qua yer in her throat. Good for you, sweet heartl You beat him at his own game He tried bluff, thinking you'd be silly enough to throw me over for him. You called him, and he had to make good. The fool-to think you'd be soft enough to turn from me to him. just because he made a play to the galleries with his offer! Oh, what an easymark !'
 'Is that exactly the right term ?'' calmly inquired the girl.
 "None better!" exulted Vandervyn. He made you promise not to give me share in the mine. Mining property is real estate. An agreement in regard to real estate is not binding unless ir writing"
 Marie's tranquil face took on an ex- pression of artless concern. "Oh. really? Then his promise to give me the mine is not binding"
 Don't worry" reassured Vandervyn. ''He will keep his word. You are sure of the mine."
 But, of course, if take back my promise, it will be no more than fair to give him the chance to take back his,' she innocently remarked.
 Not at all, sweetheart" he replied. You can do as you please. A wom- ans promises are not considered bind ing-in business matters. Legally, in most of the states, she is rated as 6 minOr."
 'Wimmen ain't minors no longer in our state," interjected Dupont.
 'Thank you for reminding me, Pere," said his daughter. She looked at Vandervyn with naive seriousness.

 There followed another long wait. But no more crying could be heard, and gradually the sound of the low voices within the tepee died away to silence. Ti-owa-konza came back to the entrance, listened awhile, and noiselessly slipped inside.
 Oinna lay with her head on Marie's breast. Her eyes were closed. She had fallen into the peaceful, healing slumber of childhood. A smile hov- cred on her half-parted lips. The bowl beside her was empty.
 Very gently Marie laid the sleeping girls head upon a blanket roll, and rose to come across to the silent grand father. They talked for several min utes in Lakotah. When she stenped

SURPRISING FIGURES

TT is rather surprising that in view OF the steady IN
crease in the number of states in the dry column the
= amount of whskey consumed by the American people
year was greater than in any previous year since 1909
Strange and mysyng may seem, the increased con-
sumption of booze is shown by cold figures namely tax
returns to the internal division of the treasury
department. Although it is times claimed that fig
do lie, such contingency not likely IN the collection
of taxes whiskey by the evereer revenue officers of
the government States cities and towns may fail to
gather the taxes they impose liquors. but purveyor
seldom attempt to "get by without paying Uncle
Sam what is due him; the penalty therefor is too great
Government figures just made public at Washington
show that the tax receipts WhSkey and beer last year
amounted to $685. 08935 compared with $2237l2934
in 1915 Although greater than in 1915 beer consumption
last year fell nearly 900 barrels below the high mark
of 66000000 barrels in 1914. 1t would that all de-
grees of prohibition thus far devised do not prohibit
that the increase in the of whskey and beer last year
was officials believe due in part to the fact that
the government is at present collecting taxes all sptu
liquors produced IN the country, which is said not to
have been the case few years ago. This contention will
remain merely matter Of opinion and conjecture until
proven and there probably way to establish the fact
beyond doubt To say the least the figures made public
afford problem that both wet and dTy advocates will
doubt endeavOr to explain to their respective advantage
for some time to come.
More amazing by far than the increase in the Of
alcoholic beverages the fact made apparent by the treas
ury department figures made public that the increased
consumption of cigarettes last year, the greatest ever
recorded, was in a measure due to their by

Bad Habits

Those who breakfast at o'clock or
later, lunch at II and have dinner at
6 are almost certain to be troubled
with indigestion. They do not allow
time for one meal to digest before tax
ing another. Not less than five hours
should elapse between meals. If you
are troubled with indigestion correct
your habits and take Chamberlain's
Tablets, and you may reasonably hope
for a quick recovery. These tablets
strengthen the stomach and enable it
to perform its functions naturally. OBJ
tainable everywhere.

The Habit of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is east
ly broken. Take a cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed-not ice cold, but a tempera-
ture of about 80 degrees F. Also
sleep with your window up. Do this
and you will seldom take cold. When
you do take cold take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and get rid of it as
quickly as possible. Obtainable every
where.
